"Bang!"

In Drifting Snow City, in the Ranster Marquis's Mansion, a fine porcelain cup was shattered to the ground, and the enraged Marquis Jaime was frantically destroying the items in the room.

He had no reason not to be angry, in order to suppress the development of the Hunter family, he took a huge risk to cooperate with the church, but he didn't expect that Richard was still alive and well, and he still made a great name in the royal capital, but he fell into a huge handle, a handle that could lead to the destruction of the Lancester family at any time.

What kingdom number one master, the sky knight, a strong man who is qualified to fight with dragons, he doesn't believe this kind of thing,

What's more important is that Richard has become a celebrity in front of the king, not only will he marry the princess, but even the several territories vacated before have been allocated to the Hunter family with a stroke of a pen, and now in terms of territory and population, the Hunter family is no longer inferior to the Lancet family, not to mention that the high-end combat power of the Hunter family on the surface has a crushing advantage over the Lancet family.

Feeling Jaime's anger, his subordinate fell to one knee and buried his head very low, for fear of attracting James's attention and causing him to pour his anger on his head.

Fortunately, Jaime still maintained a certain amount of sanity, but he took his temper out on some dead things, and he was not angry with his men.

It wasn't until he smashed the last teapot in the room that Jaime calmed down, and then asked:

"How many days have the people sent to the royal capital been gone?"

"They've been on the road for two days."

"Send someone to chase it back, there's no need."

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

Jaime waved his hand and motioned for him to stand down, now that he heard the title of Lord Marquis again, his heart didn't fluctuate much,

Not long after taking over Drifting Snow City, not long after becoming the new Marquis, Jaime's whole body was a little haggard, without the joy and high spirits at the beginning, after experiencing the destruction of the war, the army was defeated miserably, and the high-end combat power was almost a pot, Drifting Snow City was a complete mess,

Although Jaime is not a fool, his own ability is not many times worse than that of Lint, and the situation that Lint was able to maintain before was like a mess in Jaime's hands, with insufficient money and food, shrinking forces, and many internal contradictions, each of which made Jaime very sad.

As Jaime thought as he pinched his eyebrows, his men, who had received Jaime's signal, retreated with relief.

Before Jaime sent someone to the royal capital to report the Hunter family's trick to annex the Will family's territory, this matter was originally under the cover of Lint to be confused, Jaime did not want to see the Hunter family after discovering this problem, and immediately prepared to sue the House of Nobles, even if there was a suspicion of slapping himself in the face.

But when more news from the royal capital came back, Jaime knew that it was a joke to report it, this matter can actually be big or small, although Richard is not clever, but it is still in order, whether to admit it or not is just a matter of the above sentence, judging from the degree of favor of Richard now, it is estimated that he will be beaten back when he arrives in the House of Nobles.

Just when Drifting Snow City was in a depression and James was struggling to break his scalp, the development of Hunter Collar was in full swing.

At this time, Richard was sitting in the City Lord's Mansion in the Demon Suppression City, listening to Lint want him to report on the latest situation.

"There are enough grain reserves to sustain a big war, and there are enough grain reserves in the valley to buy them at any time."

Lint was almost certain that Richard would organize another expedition into the wilderness in a short time, and preparations had already begun during Richard's absence, at least, there was no logistical need for Richard to worry about.

"Don't stop buying grain, if you can't buy it in the river valley, go to the Central Great Plains to buy it."

Listening to Richard's instructions, Lint raised his eyes, just in time to meet Richard's eyes, and the two seemed to have reached some tacit understanding,

"The granary has been built, and the grain purchase has not stopped."

Logically speaking, there is no shortage of grain in the kingdom, and many granaries are full of grain, and the price of grain is very low, even poor families can afford to eat a few pieces of rye bread, and they can boast of a prosperous atmosphere in some dynasties.

Although the Northland has been affected this year, according to the arrangement of the Hunter family, the grain output will be restored next year, and there will be no shortage of grain.

If grain is to become precious, unless there is some major chaos in the empire, when the world is peaceful, an oversized and oversized stockpile of grain like Richard will only lead to losses.

The current kingdom still seems to be peaceful, but the actual situation is definitely not optimistic, at least after Richard communicated with Aragorn, this feeling has become stronger and stronger, and he has to plan early.

"What about the cavalry? Are there enough war horses now? ”

"According to the instructions before you left, we have purchased nearly three hundred war horses in the Western Territory, and the matching armor has also been created at the same time, and some strong warriors have been trained for a while from the previous cavalry, and they should be able to fight this time."

Heavy cavalry is something that Richard has always wanted to come up with, in the past, the Northland was the world of light cavalry, firstly, because the ogre did not become powerful at that time, and the Northland did not need this kind of powerful shock cavalry.

The second is that the cost of heavy cavalry is too large, raising this kind of cavalry, the cost of one can be a bunch of ordinary infantry, it makes no sense to raise less, it costs too much money to raise more, and the horses have to be specially introduced in the west, the small lords can't afford to play at all, and the only one who can afford to play is the Lancet family has no urgent needs, which has led to a blank in the north in this regard, if the Marquis Wade had so many hundreds of heavy horses in his hands, maybe the direction of the war will change direction.

When he came to Richard, he would never ignore the development of this class, his vision would not be limited to the wilderness and the Northland, or even within the kingdom, there were too many races in this world that were difficult to compete with manpower, and this kind of heavy riding could pull back a little bit of the gap.

"Well, the people of the Red Flame Knights must also be prepared to dispatch this time."

"Don't worry, their special equipment has also been built, and they have been training in formation since yesterday, they are all knights, and they adapt much faster than ordinary soldiers."

The quality of the Red Flame Horse is still much higher than that of the Western Realm Horse, naturally it is impossible to equip it with the same horse armor, the specially built horse armor is much thicker, and the knights' equipment is also more sophisticated and heavier, originally limiting them is that the mount cannot bear this weight, but now with the matching Red Flame Horse, the battle armor can naturally be made thicker.

"Okay."

Richard doesn't seem to have anything to say, Lint does things almost perfectly, having a reliable housekeeper can really save a lot of trouble, everything is arranged properly, and there is hardly much to worry about.

"Lord Richard, Mr. Gandorf wants to see you."

"Let him in."

Just when Richard and Lint were arranging the next expedition, Gandalf came to the door again, since Gandalf relied on the magic energy crystal to inspire a few beginner spells, Richard also paid a lot of attention to Gandalf, and there was no problem in courtesy.

"Lord Richard."

"Hmm"

"What do you think of this magic crystal?"

During the time that Richard left, it should have been the most fulfilling period of time that Gandalf had lived for so long, relying on a piece of magic energy crystal to release a lot of spells, and finally experienced the feeling of the mage,

But after all, there is only a small piece of magic energy crystal, and even if it only takes a month to release some basic spells, it will be almost consumed.

This is easy to go from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, and suddenly can't release the spell after experiencing the feeling of the real mage, this kind of grievance is even more uncomfortable than not being able to release the spell in the previous decades, this Richard just came back, Gandalf was cheeky and pasted up to ask for some magic crystals.

Richard looked at Gandalf, who had a constipated expression on his face, and touched the teacup and beckoned him to sit down.

"Don't worry, soon there will be as many magic energy crystals as there are..."
