The wheat seedlings on the field have returned to green, and a green wheat wave has risen under the caress of the spring breeze, and the peasants and soldiers with knives and bows at the waist have unconsciously slowed down their pace when passing by this piece of wheat wave, as if they are afraid of trampling on the crops.

The peasants and soldiers were unconsciously relieved when they saw the green wheat waves during the tense patrol, and it seemed that this year was another bumper year.

Although the Northland was plagued by ogres during spring ploughing, not every place was destroyed, at least under the rule of the Hunter family, as well as places such as Naderland, which was first under the command of Richard, were very stable, and production was hardly affected.

"Give me a little vigilance, don't relax, since the above has strengthened patrols, there is a reason, we must be ready to fight at any time!"

"Yes!"

The sheriff who led the team was a young man, not yet twenty years old, and the dozens of peasant soldiers who were carrying behind him were only fifteen or sixteen years old, and the older ones were over thirty years old.

However, the peasants and soldiers in the village did not dare to underestimate this magistrate, who was born in Tiemu City and almost crossed the threshold of quasi-knights.

How much strength everyone has seen, when the village kills pigs, four or five people can't hold down the big fat pig, let people be put down with one kick, the heavy sword in the hand is not ordinary people can make move, everyone respects it very much, now listen to him say this, clean put away the soothing and relaxed state of mind just now, continue to tense the spirit, eyes swept over the green wheat waves again, in addition to joy and more vigilance, maybe those wheat waves out of the enemy maybe?

Seeing that the peasants and soldiers had raised their vigilance again, the young sheriff Rosa nodded with satisfaction, looking at the decently present appearance of the peasant soldiers brought out by himself, and felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart, and then continued to patrol along the demarcated route with the peasants.

In fact, Rosa didn't get any news about it, and he didn't know if there was an enemy.

In order to avoid panic, Richard did not make the possible infiltration of the orcs known to passers-by, and the sheriffs of the various villages were only instructed to step up patrols and be vigilant.

It's just that the sheriffs from the official school of Tiemu City have always carried out Richard's orders to the letter, and these days happen to be just after the farm work, and the peasants don't have to do farm work, so Rosa divided the peasants into three teams, patrolling non-stop, even at night, and completely achieved the level of many professional soldiers.

"Go a little faster, don't miss the alternating time with the second team."

"Yes!"

The peasants and soldiers were ordered to speed up their pace again...

…

Ironwood Fort

Compared with the tense state in the territory, Richard, who personally sat in Ironwood City because of the infiltration of the orcs, has become an idler like Viscount Sauter,

The affairs of the Demon City and the wilderness are now all up to Lint, and Richard is completely like employing people without suspicion and suspicion, and puts all the burden on Lint.

Richard had also read the letter sent by Lint before, and the above about Jaime's participation in the assassination of himself by the Cult of the Rising Sun was also expected by Richard, Richard didn't do anything superfluous, but just made a note in his heart,

Not to mention that there is no sufficient evidence for this kind of thing, even if there is, a nobleman of the level of the Lancester family is not something that Richard said can move, at least not now,

It is not difficult for him to move Drifting Snow City now, at this time, Drifting Snow City has changed from a behemoth to a little girl who has no ability to resist in front of Richard, if he uses force directly, Richard is even confident that he will defeat Drifting Snow City within a week.

But you have to consider the feelings of the kingdom, if you directly annex Drifting Snow City without following the rules, this northern land will really become the dominant power of his Richard family, no matter how much Rayne has a good impression of him before, a normal king will not sit idly by, in short, this revenge will be avenged, but the time has not come.

As for another thing, Lint took the initiative to explain the situation that the nightingale had concealed at the beginning, Richard just laughed after seeing it, and didn't even have a little anger, maybe from the beginning, Richard still trusted Yusidu more, didn't have too high expectations, and naturally didn't get angry because of the gap, but Lint's attitude made him very satisfied, maybe the whole nightingale was not as important as Lint's loyalty in Richard's eyes,

Of course, things are one yard to another, and the leader involved in concealment was directly transferred away from Nightingale and given corresponding punishments, but because of Lint's affection, things were done decently.

In the past few days, except for reading this letter, Richard basically has no affairs to deal with, and has even enjoyed afternoon tea in the Ironwood Castle, and the happiness of shaking off the shopkeeper is as simple as that.

In the garden in the ironwood fort, the attendants around him left under Richard's orders, and Richard himself sat on a stone bench and made a pot of black tea.

Carefully filter out some of the tea residues in the teapot, put the tea soup into another container, and then dig out a small spoonful of honey from the small jar and add it, after a little stirring, the honey melts into the tea soup, and then pour some milk into it, stirring together.

Exquisite!

Although Richard was a native of the Celestial Empire in his previous life, he preferred the Western-style drinking method of black tea and milk honey in the matter of drinking tea, for no other reason, it was just that the taste was sweet, but Richard himself always wanted to add some reasons in the name of beauty, what can nourish the stomach and detoxify and sleep A large number of reasons are in it.

It's just that Richard, who had carefully prepared the afternoon tea, did not enjoy it himself first, but poured out a cup and handed it to the opposite side after mixing.

"Your Majesty Aragorn, please!"

At this time, the person who was enjoying afternoon tea with Richard in the garden was Aragorn.

Soon after obtaining the Magic Crystal Mine, Richard provided the Ring with the magic power as agreed, and Aragorn was able to regain the light of day with some means.

If you want to say how much Richard trusts Aragorn, that's nothing, in fact, no one wants to have an inexplicable old monster around him who doesn't know how many secrets and hearts, especially when you yourself are also secrets,

But the alliance between the two is absolutely stable, because they both have the same powerful enemy, the god of the rising sun,

Aragorn's enmity with the god of the rising sun was forged hundreds of years ago, and the relationship between the two was endless.

And Richard was just at odds with the Cult of the Rising Sun at first, but since he was confused about the scorching sun, he has naturally become a staunch ally of Aragorn, and he can't get rid of the relationship.

Therefore, in view of the stable alliance between the two, after thinking twice, Richard still provided Aragorn with a magic crystal, released the person from the ring, and even helped him find a temporary body.

"Well, the way you drink this tea is a bit weird, but it's like the way Tessie's group of barbarians used to drink it."

Aragorn, who was dressed in silk civilian clothes, took a sip of the tea Xiaoba handed by Richard, and commented on it.

"I also have some tribute tea sent from the south, I heard that it is the tribute tea that you personally sealed, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, do you want to taste it?"

"Forget it, I'll just say that, my body is just relying on the supply of magic to maintain its action, how can I taste anything, don't spoil the good things."

"Okay."

"Is there any news about the Cult of the Rising Sun these days?"

In the past few days when Aragorn woke up, except for the beginning of the kingdom, all his attention was still focused on the Cult of the Rising Sun, and it was much more important for him to solve the kingdom that the Cult of the Rising Sun and the God of the Rising Sun wanted to create by himself.

"Since the last time the Cult of the Rising Sun was hit hard, it has been very low-key recently, but there is something that may need His Majesty Aragon's help."

"Oh?"

"I've got reliable information here that an orc is about to infiltrate the Northlands, and if the enemy is too strong, I hope His Majesty Aragon will intervene."

"Where did you get this information?"

"I have some special channels..."

There was no way to say this, Richard could only perfunctory it.

"Alas, I'm willing to help you deal with the orcs, but you know my current situation, so it's good to be able to move this body."

"Look how stiff this arm is."

As he spoke, Aragorn raised his arm and shook it in front of Richard.

"If there were sea heart lotus in the South China Sea, it wouldn't be like this..."

Made, the old fox.

Richard secretly complained in his heart...
