The sky is blue, and the willows are green.

On the official road outside the Golden Dragon Capital, a team of nearly 100 people is heading north, and the team is headed by the newly promoted Pingye Marquis Richard,

At this time, Richard had already replaced the Phnom Penh armor with some sassy bags, and replaced it with a set of low-key and practical cloth armor.

Compared to when they came, the vigilance of the entire team was much higher, after all, it was against a force of the level of the Rising Sun Divine Cult, even in the central Great Plains, the core area of the kingdom, the Rising Sun Divine Cult also had the ability to attack,

Even if Mi Xiu is not lightly injured now, and the power of the church has been hit hard, Richard does not dare to hold it up, and now the angel necklace is still cooling, and he, the sky knight, is just a parallel product, in case the church is really ruthless and gathers strength again, he can hit his virtual reality at once.

What reassures Richard a little is that the overall strength of the team is now several times stronger than when it came, although the number of people has only doubled, but the increase is all real knight-level masters, these people are put in the north, they are the middle-level backbone force that can support tens of thousands of troops, and now they are all concentrated in Richard's small team returning to the north, in the case of Mi Xiu's injury, these people should not be afraid of the church attacking again,

However, after learning the lesson of the last time, the team has always been vigilant, keeping double whistles at night, and there must be a master of the Great Knight Rank to lead the team, so that even if it is raided by the master of the Earth Rank, there is time to warn,

When he was in a hurry during the day, he was all dressed in armor and sharpened, and he didn't look relaxed at all.

Seeing that Richard was marching in battle armor every day, without the slightest intention of relaxing, these new knights naturally did not dare to relax in the slightest, and each general had achieved the ultimate in armament, neatly dressed and equipped, looking like he might be about to charge in the next second.

Fortunately, the physical fitness of these knight-level players has long been different from ordinary people, although they are a little tired, but they are not exhausted, after all, they have just taken refuge with Richard, and they don't want to perform badly in front of Richard.

Ignoring the careful thoughts of the knights, Richard sat on his horse, played with a quaint ring in his hand, and fell into thought,

The ring looks a little old, but the shape is very exquisite, the craft has an obvious ancient elf style, I am afraid that there have been nearly a thousand years of rings, even as an antique collection of the elf era, there is no low value,

What's more, this ring was worn by Messiah on his hand with a red face when he was leaving, and at first Richard only wore it on his finger as an ordinary ring with some commemorative significance, but he didn't expect this ring to cause a reaction from the system, and you can see the information of this ring when you click on it.

Treasure: The Ring of the Rebellious Elven King

Synopsis: This ring seems to have once possessed great power, but it has also been eroded and damaged over the years.

PS: Can be repaired in the blacksmith's shop.

According to the Messiah, this ring has been passed down in the royal family since the time of Charman I, but it is supposed to be an ordinary ring, and it has been kept in the royal family because it is one of the items that Aragorn once held.

Because the ring was too ordinary, the later Charmans did not pay much attention to it, until the young Messiah became interested in its quaint elven style, and was given to the Messiah by the old king.

For the Messiah, this ring is also more commemorative than practical, and the Messiah gave this ring, which was cherished as a child, to Richard as a token of love.

But this ring was really an unexpected discovery for Richard, and it was the first time Richard had discovered a treasure outside the system.

The conditions for the system to identify treasures should not be low, after all, Richard has come into contact with so many antique treasures, from antique sword ornaments to some exquisite bottles and jars of gadgets, many of which have exquisite appearances that make Richard's eyes shine, but they do not trigger the system to confirm.

And such an inconspicuous ring has been systematically certified, and it can only be said that it is worthy of being an item of Aragon.

Perhaps it was the complete depletion of magic and the erosion of time that made it lose its magical power, and it was regarded as the most ordinary ring by later royal members, and finally fell into Richard's hands, just in time for Richard to try the function of the blacksmith shop and repair this treasure-level ring.

"Lord Richard, are we going to get to the town ahead tonight or continue camping."

The captain of the cavalry asked Richard about the arrangements for the evening, although it was not too late, but the march of a hundred men should always be planned in advance, and if they were to camp, they should be prepared earlier.

"Let's continue camping, and try not to be in the town."

Once bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of the well rope, Richard has no trust in the local garrison of the kingdom, whether he has combat effectiveness or not is one thing, I am afraid that it has also been infiltrated by the church.

It is better to camp in the wilderness, the Great Plains are not easy to be sneak attacked, and the knights can better play their own advantages.

…

The speed of return was about the same as that of Richard's, and the army of more than 100 men was actually cavalry or one man and two horses, and in less than a week it crossed half of the central plain from the royal capital and reached the river valley area.

"Lord Richard, there's cavalry approaching ahead!"

"Qiang, Qiang..."

Although the knights in Richard's team have only just gotten together, their ability to fight is not weak.

Without Richard's reminder, the weapons were unsheathed and ready for battle, and even at Richard's order, they were immediately able to charge.

However, Richard in front waved his hand and motioned for everyone to put away their weapons, he had already seen who it was.

The cavalry of several hundred men was all dressed in the standard armor of the Garrison Corps of the River Valley, and the stout fat man at the head was also Dane, whom Richard knew.

"I've seen the Marquis!"

Dane led the people, slowed down not far from Richard's team, and after coming to Richard, he dismounted and bowed very neatly without waiting for Richard's reaction, and his posture was quite sufficient.

"Brother Dane is too polite!"

Richard also hurriedly dismounted and helped Dane up, Dane's intention to take refuge had already been clearly written on his face, otherwise Dane, as the commander of the Kingdom Garrison Corps, actually didn't need to be so respectful to Richard, after all, no matter how strong Richard was, he couldn't control him.

In the face of Dane's surrender, Richard of course responded quite enthusiastically, no matter how Dane said it, he is also one of the real power figures in the valley, although he is now isolated from the nobles of the valley, but his subordinates are a real legion, holding the regular armed forces of the entire valley, and the right to speak is still very heavy.

With Dane's refuge, it will definitely be a huge help to Richard who wants to put his tentacles into the rich land of the river valley.

"This time, the Marquis's prestige in the royal capital has spread to the valley, and now many people want to meet you, the strongest man in the kingdom."

"Fluke, fluke."

"Lord Marquis is humble, where is there a fluke in this kind of thing."

It's impossible to say that Dane didn't doubt in his heart, after all, they were people who had fought side by side, although Richard's strength at that time was strong, it didn't exceed the scope of the big knight, how did he become a sky knight in a blink of an eye,

Sky Knight, the kingdom has not had a strong man of this level for many years, and I don't know if it is because Richard is hiding the depth or the information of the royal capital is wrong, and it is impossible for Dane to test it,

Not only Dane has doubts, in fact, even Viscount Sauter is a little confused at this time, but the people of the royal capital are indeed conclusive, after all, most of the high-ranking nobles have seen it with their own eyes, how can it be fake,

Even those who were originally a little skeptical were a little confused by the determination of the royal capital.

Anyway, this does not affect Dane's defection to Richard, at least the king's favor is not fake, if the king helps Richard to cheat, it can only mean that Richard is more worthy of refuge.

With the cavalry led by Dane joining, the team was much larger, and hundreds of horsemen marched towards the city of Bole from the official road...
