Chapter 33: Commandery
Not to mention the hidden crisis under the prosperity of the Golden Dragon Capital, the current Northland has long been nervously prepared because of the upcoming ogre tribe.
The spring ploughing was not over, and the Flying Bear Army had expanded to nearly 2,000 people, and the soldiers produced by the system had also been qualitatively improved, and Richard did not mobilize the peasants again.
After all, the large-scale mobilization of young and strong forces in the territory to participate in the war is a method of fighting seven wounds, which will greatly affect the normal production of the territory, and Richard will never use peasants and soldiers during the spring ploughing period unless it is absolutely necessary.
At this time, the nearly 2,000 people of the Flying Bear Army were already ready to be attacked, and Richard and Lin Xuan had the same idea, if the ogre attacked, he would also have to keep the enemy out of the territory, and he could not let the ogre destroy in the territory.
"Report, Lord Richard, Snowy City Urgent."
Coren seems to have been waiting for Richard at Ironwood.
No sooner had Richard returned to Ironwood Fort from his tour of the barracks than he received a letter from Yusidu.
Richard opened the envelope, and the envelope contained two notes, one was Yusidu's report, which was good news, with Yusidu's efforts, Richard's father, Viscount Thoth, successfully became the commander of the six war zones, and the official appointment was already on the way, and Viscount Thot became the nominal chief of several surrounding territories.
The second note is interesting, with only a few lines on it
"You owe me once."
It was Lin Xuan who made the payment, and this time it was so smooth to fight for the position of leader, of course, Lin Xuan helped.
Richard smiled slightly after looking at it, anyway, it is the uncle who owes money this year, and what you can owe him means that you are valuable, and this thigh is not wrong.
"Cologne, when the letter of appointment arrives, you will directly invite Viscount Nader and the other three barons to Ironwood Fort in the name of the commander of the Sixth War Zone."
"Yes, sir."
If I can't use this chicken feather arrow to give the effect of the Imperial Gold Medal, I Richard will be able to pronounce the name upside down.
Squeezing the most value out of this position of ruler is Richard's style.
……
In addition to the strongest Hunter family, the sixth war zone also includes three baronies and one viscount,
Three of the baronies are of average strength, relying on one knight each and no more than the number of hands of quasi-knights to support the territory situation.
However, the Viscount Nader's family is slightly stronger, the Nader family has two knight-level combat power and more than fifty quasi-knights, and the overall strength is slightly stronger than the previous Will family.
Originally, Nader was also a strong contender for the position of commander of the six war zones, but before they could operate, they encountered a dimensionality reduction blow from Lin Xuan, and they still haven't come back to their senses.
Several of the territories are close to the edge of the wilderness, at the edge of the intersection of the Ironwood Forest and the wilderness, and it is unlikely that they will become the main attack direction of the ogre, but it is always necessary to prevent the ogre tribe from sending a division to carry out looting and destruction.
So a Sixth Theater Coordination and Scheduling was established, of course, what Richard wanted was not as simple as coordinating scheduling.
……
A day later, the herald from Drifting Snow City also came to Ironwood City to announce the official appointment, and several other realms also got the news.
The manpower arranged by Coren was the first to send an invitation to each family in the name of the commander of the sixth war zone, and asked several lords to meet in Ironwood City in person.
In Fort Nader, Viscount Nader, who received the news, summoned his people together to discuss the fact that Richard had become the commander of the Six War Zones and that the Hunter family had invited Viscount Nader to Ironwood City for a meeting.
The bright hall was filled with a group of disgruntled Nader family members.
"My Nader family has been inherited for a hundred years, and when we led the army here to expel the ogre, his Hunter family was still a hunter in the Iron Wood Forest, why could they be this commander."
"That is, in terms of inheritance, his Hunter family is not worthy of carrying shoes for our Nader family."
"I don't know what means the Hunter family used, we don't accept the decision of Drifting Snow City."
Xiao Linghe destroyed the Hunter family in the first battle, showing great strength, there are as many as three knights exposed to the surface, and they are definitely the existence of the ceiling in the level of the viscount.
The Nader family didn't dare to question the strength of the Hunter family anymore, so they could only talk about the inheritance.
"Bang"
Viscount Nader, who was sitting at the top, slapped the table heavily.
"Okay, who will be the commander is a matter decided by Drifting Snow City, it's not our turn to question, don't let people say that we are dissatisfied with Drifting Snow City."
"Now it's mainly about the Hunter family asking us to go to Ironwood City to attend the meeting, what do you think."
"Just send a representative, what's the use of living big brother."
It was a quasi-knight of the Nader family who spoke, and he meant that it was a bit too high for Viscount Nader to go in person, and sending a representative at random could not only give the chicken feather arrows of Drifting Snow City a face, but also show the attitude of the Nader family to the Hunter family.
"No, I think this time I should go with my eldest brother, bring the elite forces of the clan, and fight for the right to speak, otherwise it will be too passive."
"Well, what the third brother said makes sense, didn't he want me to go in person, this time I will go with the third child, and bring another approved knight to give him enough face."
Viscount Nader's words were also full of resentment, but he didn't dare to express his dissatisfaction with Drifting Snow City, so he could only send his breath to Hunter's side.
It's true that there are three knights in your Hunter's family, and the two knights in my family are not decorations, if it is more than the quasi-knights, the Nader family is more, don't want to use the tiger skin of Drifting Snow City to press me.
"Okay, inform the people to prepare, and we'll leave early tomorrow morning."
There are only two knights in the Nader family, Viscount Nader and the third and second knights of the Nader family, and when they reach an agreement, the matter has been decided.
Compared to the Nader family's thoughts, the other three barons' families were much simpler, and after receiving the letter, they entertained the messenger well, and then prepared to take people on the road to Ironwood City.
……
In the Ironwood Castle, the titular lord of this territory, Lord Viscount Soth, did not go out hunting and playing, but wore formal clothes and looked in front of the mirror.
Today is the day when Richard summons several nobles to meet, and Sauter has become the nominal commander of the Six War Zones, so it is natural that he will have to come forward.
Richard had already received the lords of the three baronies in the city, and so far only the people of the Nader family had not arrived, and it was not far from the appointed time, and although the three barons in the council hall were smiling, their expressions were a little subtle.
No one is stupid, and what the Nader family wants to do, you can guess it now.
Richard naturally realized that the Nader family was afraid that they wanted to make a comeback, but he would let the Nader family understand how ridiculous some childish behavior was under absolute strength.
