Warlord: King of All Clans

The other rider was much more well-behaved. He rode his horse to avoid the group of bandits and went around from the side.

He fired a shot along the way, stabbing the outermost bandit to death.

In the era of cold weapons, cavalry was truly the uncrowned king.

Even if they were just light cavalry, they could run quickly with their lances in hand and rush towards the target at a speed of twenty or thirty yards. The sharp lances could easily pierce through the leather armor and penetrate the body of the bandit.

This group of bandits who thought they had escaped were intercepted by two knights who suddenly appeared and killed two of them, and the group immediately fell into chaos.

They were immediately blocked by the reserve troops sent by Ivan, and gradually disappeared in the encirclement of the militia.

In addition to Ivan's reserve troops, dozens of wild hunters and ogre scouts gradually gathered outside the valley, waiting boredly for any fish that might have slipped through the net.

Leo waited for the second rider to ride over before greeting him, "Hello, Knight Romon."

The visitor was Roman, the eldest son of the Petukhov family. He pulled the reins and dismounted, nodding and responding: "Good day."

During this period, Rigolav, who was depressed because of the refugee problem, was disgusted with his son for doing nothing, so he sent him to the Solovy Knight Territory, responsible for assisting the Solovy Knights in building the hot spring villa.

The main structure of the villa has reached the final stage, but it will take at least another month before the interior decoration and exterior layout are completed.

But no one was in a hurry. The pace of life in this era was very slow, and it was beyond everyone's expectations that the project could be completed before winter.

When we open the business next year, we don’t expect many customers to come. This is a long-term business that requires steady flow of income.

Moreover, as the first formal aristocratic manor of the Petukhov family, the hot spring villa is not only operated as an entertainment venue, but also the face of the Petukhov family, and not all guests are welcome.

When Knight Romon arrived at the Knight Territory of Solovy, he actually had nothing to do.

The knights trained in the North have only two uses. One is to be used as weapons of war on the battlefield, and the other is to honestly manage a piece of land for the legal lord.

For Romon, staying in Isenbol, both options are gray.

At one point he even wanted to go north to join the army to fight against the orcs.

During this period, he traveled between Isenpol, the Solovy Knight Territory and the River Bay Peninsula, and relied on his superb riding skills to serve as a messenger between several territories.

The young and handsome Knight Romon got off his horse, walked up to the group, and introduced them as a middleman: "This is the Rose Knight Norin who came from the Imperial Capital."

The first rider took off his hood, and his straight black hair immediately flowed out like a waterfall.

She has black pupils, a handsome and resolute face, clear lines and beautiful contours, revealing an irresistible charm.

She was wearing a thin and exquisite knight's half-breastplate. The edge of the steel armor revealed the black fur lining, and the black leather armor wrapped her slender waist tightly.

A wide metal belt was tied to the hard leather breeches, which not only served as a waist protector, but also fastened the mail kilt that was worn outside the breeches.

A long black cape with a hood covered most of her body, leaving only the front part and the gloves and riding boots inlaid with shiny armor plates exposed.

This kind of attire combines flexibility and defense. It may have various shortcomings on the battlefield, but it is more than enough for traveling in the world.

Many wealthy and powerful adventurers also like this kind of attire, but the style is more rugged and heavy, and they are accustomed to wearing a chain mail on the outside.

The steel armor of the female knight in front of him was no ordinary item. The edge of each steel plate was engraved with silver patterns, and occasionally a faint light would flash.

The structure of the breastplate is also very delicate, presenting a perfect curve. Leo even couldn't help but want to touch it.

However, the female knight's face was too stern, so Leo had to give up in disappointment.

The people here are very strange. When facing strangers, the weak are always wary and rejecting, while the strong are full of indifference and disdain. It is very difficult to communicate with them.

All I can say is that this world is not friendly and everyone is hostile to each other.

Leo greeted politely, "Rose Knight? Hello, Noreen."

After introducing the stranger, Romon introduced Leo to Norin, "This is Leo Mondo, the captain of the guard of the River Bay Territory you are looking for."

In the Empire, the position of captain of the guard is not a position of low status.

Another name for the lord's army is the lord's guard. The captain of the guard is the lord's chief general and also the military leader of the territory except the lord.

For example, the captain of the guard of the Grand Duke of the North is the leader of the Knights of the Wind.

The captain of the imperial emperor's guard, the head of the Griffin Knights, and the commander-in-chief of the empire.

For example, the head of the Gladstone family, the captain of the guard of the square-flag knight Edward, was Admiral Sindaron, who was stabbed to death by Knight Solovy.

He was also the military leader of the Gladstone family before he was stabbed to death.

After hearing Roman's introduction, Norin's gaze softened a little.

She took off her armored gloves, stretched out her hand, and introduced herself solemnly: "My name is Noreen Leopold, a former knight of the Order of the Rose and now a squad leader of the Order of the Griffin."

"Hello, hello!" Leo was flattered and quickly stretched out his hand to shake.

After staying in the North for a long time, I am not used to the handshake etiquette.

Ivan watched for a long time and saw that there was nothing for him to do, so he had to take the lead in managing the militia and counting the battle losses.

The three great knightly orders in the empire are the Order of the Wind in the north, the Order of the Rose in the south, and the Order of the Griffin in the south.

The light cavalry corps in the West is the best in the world, but it does not have a world-famous extraordinary knight group.

The female knight in front of him had actually been in two extraordinary knight orders at the same time. She must have either outstanding strength or an amazing background.

This kind of person came to the remote countryside in the north and looked for me by name.

Leo suddenly thought of a possibility and asked hesitantly, "It's Denise..."

"Yes." Rose Knight Norin interrupted him vigilantly, "We'll talk about it later."

Sure enough, the change in the other party’s attitude was not due to Leo’s status.

Then she turned to Knight Romon and thanked him, "Knight Romon, thank you very much for your help."

Knight Romon climbed onto his horse, clenched his fist and lightly hit his chest, then said with a smile: "Where justice leads, the way leads."

This is a short elegant phrase widely circulated in the empire, hung on the wall by the Petukhov family as one of their family mottos.

Norin was also touched. She clenched her fist and gently hit her breastplate, repeating: "As far as the Tao reaches."

After watching Knight Romon leave, and waiting until there was no one around, Norin stared at Leo and asked solemnly, "The princess is in your hands?"

"That's true," Leo scratched his head, as if he had become the villain who kidnapped the princess, "but it's true."

Noreen didn't respond to Leo's words, but just said, "Please take me to see it."

Leo was not a fool, and he could not just accept what the other party said, so he looked at the sky and said, "The river bend is a bit far, and it's getting late today. I'm afraid I can't make it back. Let's stay in Hekou Town for one night and talk about it tomorrow."

Norin came from far away and was unfamiliar with the place, so she had no choice but to nod and agree.
