Chapter Thirty-Four: Dismounting
"Do, do, do"
Viscount Sot sat in the council chamber and tapped his fingertips on the table with some impatience, his time was up, and the people of the Nader family had not yet arrived.
Viscount Sauter had no interest in talking, and the other three barons were also silent in the hall, of course, they all had some jokes in their hearts, after all, no one wanted to suddenly have a commander on their heads.
Of course, they naturally did not dare to show this kind of thought on their faces, and they all sat on the round chairs with their faces tight, and only Richard leaned on the table in the whole hall, looking leisurely.
Richard naturally has his own confidence, Ron took ten crusaders to guard outside the hall, the strength of more than ten knights, no matter what kind of iron backbone he has in the Nader family, Richard will bend him, if the Nader family doesn't know each other this time, Richard doesn't mind killing monkeys and chickens.
"Report, Viscount Nader has already entered the city with people."
A full hour later than the agreed time, Viscount Sot sat on the throne with some hesitation.
It stands to reason that he should go out to greet him for a while, but the Nader family knows that they are going to be slapped in the face, and he can't send it to someone to beat him.
Looking at the hesitant Viscount Thoth, Richard stood up quite generously and said:
"Let's go, father, let's go out to greet the Nader family, lest others think that our Hunter family lacks etiquette."
Viscount Sauter thought about it, but still stood up and walked out of the door, although he had a little concern of his own, but out of almost blind trust in Richard, he still followed Richard's wishes and prepared to greet Viscount Nader.
Richard followed closely behind Viscount Sauter, and the three remaining barons in the hall seemed to have reached a consensus after glancing at each other, and followed the two out of the door.
Not long after going out, a few people saw Viscount Nader walking towards the council hall with a group of more than a dozen people.
Naturally, Viscount Nader also saw that there were more than a dozen warriors in full armor around them and the hall door, which seemed to be quite elite, but Viscount Nader didn't pay too much attention to it.
Seeing Viscount Sauter in the crowd, he walked up to greet him with a smile on his face, as if he was not the one who was late.
Compared with Viscount Nader, who is older than such occasions, Viscount Sot is not very suitable for this kind of occasion, you let Viscount Sauter swing his sword and cut people, he is a good hand,
But now facing Viscount Nader with a smile on his face, Viscount Sot didn't have a tense face, and he couldn't laugh, showing a funny expression.
Richard on the side naturally greeted Viscount Nader.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the distance is far away, the time is not good, I came a few steps late, I'm ashamed."
When Viscount Nader said this, he naturally didn't have any shame, but he was a little proud.
Everyone naturally knows the reason why Viscount Nader came late, the two territories are not far away, and it won't take too long for the horse to arrive, and whoever believes his words is not good at brains.
"Viscount Nader knows that military orders are like mountains, and if you don't take my Hunter family seriously, don't you obey the orders of Drifting Snow City?"
As soon as Richard's voice fell, the scene that had just been lively suddenly fell silent.
Viscount Nader's smile was also sluggish, and he didn't refute it for a while, the nobles of the Northland, no matter what they thought in their hearts, really didn't dare to disobey the orders of Drifting Snow City openly.
It was another knight of the Nader family who shouted
"Our Nader family is also the kingdom's own seal, and has never been subordinate to Drifting Snow City, so you don't use Drifting Snow City to scare us."
This is not wrong, legally speaking, the title of the Nader family was also obtained by the ancestors for the kingdom to fight, and there is no subordination with the Lancet family in Drifting Snow City.
But as long as you mix in this Northland, you will have to be afraid of Drifting Snow City a little after all, Drifting Snow City will discuss something with you, do you really dare to think that he is discussing, Northland has always been a place where fists are greater than reason.
Viscount Nader frowned when he heard this,
He didn't want to openly disobey the instructions of Drifting Snow City, otherwise he wouldn't have brought someone here today, but Richard's fearless attitude made him a little angry,
I really thought that with a tiger skin in Drifting Snow City, he could ride on the head of Nader's family to and pee, if he really wanted to directly become a vassal of the Hunter family, then it was better to directly disobey Drifting Snow City's orders, and Drifting Snow City would give some small shoes to wear at most, and it would be impossible to send troops to destroy his Nader family.
"Why, you really want to disobey military orders?"
Richard asked in a deep voice, and the atmosphere became more and more tense, and even many people had already pressed their hands on their swords,
In the face of Richard's aggressiveness, the Nader family also seemed to have plans to tear their faces, and even the three barons who had the mentality of watching jokes at the beginning were a little worried.
After all, if the Nader family and the Hunter family were to fight at this time, it would do more harm than good to them, and they would have to rely on these two to deal with the possible ogre.
"Qiang"
Finally, the third eldest of the Nader family, that is, the second knight of the Nader family, pulled out the heavy sword at his waist, and the fighting spirit burst out from his body in an instant.
"Third child, calm down."
As he spoke, Viscount Nader went up and held down the other man's sword-drawn hand to stop him.
Of course, even if Viscount Nader didn't stop him, he didn't dare to make any next move, and the whole audience stared at the ten already conspicuous ironclad guards with wide eyes as if they had seen a ghost.
Under Ron's leadership, all of them were glowing with a fighting spirit, and the swords in their hands were all held in an attack posture, staring at everyone present with extremely oppressive eyes.
And Richard stood in front of them, staring at the Nader family with a smile, which means, I want to see what you Nader family can do now.
The three barons had already lowered their heads silently, and they didn't have much thought about it, but this time they didn't dare to make any small moves in front of the Hunter family.
And the people of the Nader family looked very embarrassed at this time, although the palm of the hand pressed the hilt of the sword, no one dared to pull out the sword, and even the third child who had already pulled out the sword looked a little stupid at this time,
He didn't need Viscount Nader to press him now, he was thinking about how to take back the sword decently, after all, he was just a little reckless and not stupid, and he was still afraid of death.
Now the knight-level combat power of the Hunter family has as many as thirteen people, and this kind of strength can no longer be matched in the Northland except for the horror of Drifting Snow City.
"Put away all your swords, put them away, like what."
In the awkward confrontation, it was Viscount Nader who spoke out first, and the people of the Nader family also seemed to find a step down and put down the sword at their waists, and the third child of the Nader family also took the opportunity to pin the sword back to his waist.
"This group of guys is not sensible, and I hope that the Lord Commander will be included, although there is a reason for being late this time, but after all, it is a military discussion, no matter what punishment the Lord Commander has, my Nader family has no complaints."
In his words, he directly addressed the commander, and it was obvious that he had already recognized the position of the commander of the Hunter family.
The speed at which Viscount Nader changes his face is absolutely unparalleled, but he is also a character who can bend and stretch.
On the other side of the conversation, Lord Viscount Soter has actually not recovered from the shock just now, and who was the most surprised just now was definitely not the Nader family and several other lords, it was definitely Richard's cheap father, Lord Sott.
After eating, drinking, and being merry for a while, I don't care about the territory, and there are ten more knight-level retainers in the family? It's like a dream.
Even when Viscount Nader spoke on the other side, he only nodded a few times and perfunctory.
In the end, Richard came forward and announced the punishment for Nader's lateness, and handed over some military funds, which was not a heavy punishment but was the first step in establishing authority.
Of course, the Nader family did not dare to challenge Richard's authority again, and nodded again and again to admit punishment, looking like a good baby.
"Let's go, everyone, hurry up, we can't be vague about the first military meeting in the Sixth War Zone."
"Lord Thoth, please."
Everyone suddenly became respectful, even the Nader family, as if it wasn't they who had been dissatisfied before.
Only Viscount Sauter was still a little dazed and returned to the council chamber.
