In the field, a team of men and horses is marching on the avenue,

The road led by Hunter was wide and flat, enough for six or seven horsemen to ride in parallel, and four carriages could also travel in opposite directions, and it was quite comfortable to march on this kind of road.

When you get out of the territory of the Hunter Territory, the roads will become strange, and the lords will pay different attention to them, and the quality of the roads will also be different, and the roads in some remote territories will not even have a good time.

Richard had an inexplicable obsession with building infrastructure, and building roads has always been one of Hunter's top priorities.

The team was a little dull, and there was barely any sound to be heard except the clattering of horses' hooves.

The first was Viscount Nader, who was returning to the territory with the Nader family after signing the unequal agreement, preparing to welcome the sheriffs and tax collectors sent by the Hunters.

Are the conditions of the Hunter family excessive?

It was indeed excessive, almost blatantly seizing control of the villages under the rule of the Nader family, as if it was going to empty the lords of each family.

Will the Nader family accept it?

Of course, you still have to grit your teeth and accept it, the Hunter family is just right,

The lords of this era were not so much concerned with the people under their rule as with how much taxes they could pay.

The Hunter family secured Nader's income after seizing the Nader's management of the people.

On the contrary, Viscount Nader did not have the determination to break the net, after all, after this agreement was signed, as long as the kingdom had not fallen, the Hunter family would not dare to swallow these taxes.

Compared with Viscount Nader's thoughts, Kleiman on the side looked relaxed.

"Big brother, what are we going to do with the people sent by the Hunter family when we go back?"

After leaving Ironwood City for some distance, someone in the team finally asked.

It was a quasi-knight of the Nader family who spoke, and he was the backbone of the Nader family, but he was qualified to express his opinion on some things.

And this is a detailed matter, that is, the tax collector who is not prepared to cooperate with the Hunter family at all, has already tried to find a way to resist the infiltration of the Hunter family.

"How to deal with it?"

Viscount Nader did not answer, but asked the other party's opinion.

"It doesn't matter what kind of tax officer he is, if he comes to our Nader family's territory, he has to follow the rules of our Nader family."

"If they don't listen, will you dare to kill them?"

Without waiting for Viscount Nader to speak, Kleiman on the side asked in advance.

"Hey, it's not okay to kill them, let's kill a pariah can't we kill them, which pariah dares to listen to them, kill a few Liwei, keep them and let them go back in disgrace."

Viscount Nader shook his head after hearing this,

"Don't say it again."

"Yes"

Viscount Nader still has prestige, and when he rejects this offer, no one will argue with him anymore.

It's not that Viscount Nader refuses this offer, it's not that he's noble, and if it works, he doesn't care about the lives of some villagers.

The would-be knight who followed him to Ironwood City obviously didn't enter Ironwood Castle together,

If he had followed him to Ironwood Fort and felt the might of the twenty-odd knights, he would probably not have dared to make such a suggestion again.

Viscount Nader was really a little stunned, not to mention the Flying Bear Army that could be beaten by thousands of glances, the power of more than twenty knights alone weighed him like a mountain,

I really don't want to tease the Hunter family easily, and now the Hunter family is barely abiding by some rules, who knows if one day he will make his Nader family the next Will family.

"I think we should fully cooperate with Lord Richard and stand with the Hunters completely."

Kreman's sudden voice surprised Viscount Nader,

This son has been a cavalry captain under the Hunter family for a few days, how can he look like he wants to be two or five boys.

"With the current strength of the Hunter family, the rise is unstoppable,

In the past, there was still Drifting Snow City to be afraid of, but now that the Jingbei Army has been newly defeated, there is nothing in the North to stop the rise of the Hunter family. ”

"Instead of resisting, it's better to take the initiative."

Hearing Kleiman's words, Viscount Nader actually had a feeling of enlightenment,

Thinking about problems from a different perspective always works wonders, and Viscount Nader has always been thinking about how to fight,

After all, the two sides were on the same footage, and Viscount Nader didn't realize in time that the two sides were actually very different.

It's Kleiman, who has a wide mind, and he can't join it, how simple it is.

After a brief period of thought, Viscount Nader realized that Kleiman's proposal turned out to be the best way to maximize the benefits of the moment.

Anyway, I don't dare to fight, it's better to be proactive,

If the Hunter family had the opportunity to become a behemoth like Lancet, as one of the earliest contributors, they would not be treated badly.

"Kleiman, you take some people back to Ironwood City, bring back all the officials sent by the Hunter family, and fully cooperate with them."

"Yes!"

After Viscount Nader made his decision, he didn't mean to drag his feet at all, and directly ordered Kleiman to take the initiative to meet the tax collector and sheriff sent by the Hunter family.

Since you want to be effective, you must first make a sufficient posture.

……

Ironwood City,

Richard didn't know that in just a few moments, Nader's family had changed from a thorn to a licking dog.

At this time, he was inspecting the assembled Flying Bear Army in the barracks, patting a soldier on the shoulder from time to time and greeting him warmly, showing the demeanor of a superior who loves soldiers like a son.

"My lord, the bear hunting crossbow has been equipped with ten at present, and the ordnance factory is still stepping up production."

Richard naturally didn't come to the barracks on purpose to perform, acting was just his habitual handiwork.

The real purpose is to check the armament situation and make some assessments of the combat effectiveness of the Flying Bear Army, which has been expanded many times recently.

And the bear hunting crossbow, which has a longer range, greater power, and faster rate of fire than the ordinary bed crossbow, is naturally his focus on the target.

Previously, it was difficult to carry because it was jungle combat, and the next battle is likely to be fought in the plains and wilderness, and this long-range weapon that can directly kill the would-be knight is of course the better.

"Well, let the Ordnance Factory ask Chief Iger if there is anything to speed up the production of the Bear Hunting Crossbow."

"Yes, Lord Richard."

"My lord, the rain is urgent."

Just as Richard was about to continue his patrol, a personal soldier hurried over.

Richard took the letter in his hand, looked at it, and said to himself:

"So fast."

The contents of the letter were not good news, and the Fifth War Zone, which was adjacent to the Sixth War Zone under the command of Richard, had found traces of the Ogre Tribe, numbering more than a thousand, and a large number of kobolds followed.

The strength of the fifth war zone is completely inferior to the strength in Richard's hands, and in the face of more than 1,000 ogres, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist.

Whether to save or not is a question......
