"Raise your hand a little higher."

"Watch your breathing, yes, yes."

"Let's practice here today, don't worry."

Richard was patiently teaching his intelligence chief, Cologne.

Coren was adopted by the Hunter family since he was a child but could only use the ordinary breathing method, although he was loyal and never dared to ask for anything, but at this time he was taught the Hunter family's beast breathing method by Richard, and there was also an excitement in his heart to be recognized.

One of the advantages of this world's cultivation system is that it is convenient to change exercises, whether it is the use of a new breathing method or a qi induction technique, it will not conflict with the previous cultivation, it is just a matter of adaptation.

Although Richard was ready to teach the Beast's Breathing Method to his subordinates, he did not want to let the Beast's Breathing Method rot the street, after thinking about it, Richard only taught the Breathing Method to Quill and Cologne, and there were still a few quasi-knights under him, but there was not enough merit, Richard was not ready to teach it immediately, how could the things that were easily obtained reflect his preciousness.

It turns out that talents like Richard and Ron, who can learn it as soon as they learn are rare, and Quill and Coren, who are definitely the best among ordinary people, look a little stupid compared to Richard, and at their pace, it may take several days to get started with the Beast's Breathing Method.

"Cologne, how's things going?"

"It's already up and running on the Drifting Snow side as you ordered."

Hearing Richard's question, Coren also stopped training and replied.

Drifting Snow City is the largest city in the Northlands, and it is also where the Marquis Mansion of the Northland is located, and the rain silk led by Coren has long been planted with spies and ears in Drifting Snow City, and has a basic understanding of the various characters in Drifting Snow City.

At Richard's orders, Hunter had sent a messenger to report to Drifting Snow City that Will had taken the initiative to invade Hunter's house and was defeated by Hunter's family on the battlefield, and Viscount Will's father and son had both been killed.

But the main culprit that provoked this conflict was only Viscount Will's family, after Viscount Will's ambush, the remaining members of the Will family were peace-loving, and at their request, Hunter Ron became the son-in-law of the Will family, and would be a knight to inherit Will and Boulder Castle.

The general content of the letter is like this, and after reading the letter, Viscount Sauter felt that the story was a bit spicy.

However, Richard insisted on making up a story that everyone looked a little lame and sent it to Drifting Snow City.

Sometimes you have to do things in the name of a few things, and you can find a way to take advantage of the rules, but you can't just break them, especially if you don't have the ability to overturn the table.

Of course, what Richard did was not as simple as making up a story, and then Richard asked Coren to send someone to send heavy gifts and some shining Kinnar to the characters who might be able to speak in Snowy City, and these gifts were so heavy that Richard basically vomited all the wealth looted by Will's house. But in Richard's opinion, as long as he can get through the tricks, it's all worth it.

If it didn't succeed, then Richard also prepared a second plan. The royal capital of the Golden Dragon Kingdom is thousands of miles away, as long as Drifting Snow City agrees with Richard's statement, then the royal capital of the noble house will naturally not say anything, and Ron will inherit the Will Territory smoothly.

But if Drifting Snow City does not agree with Richard's statement, it is only a vacant territory, and Drifting Snow City does not have the power of a new lord. Richard will send someone to bypass Drifting Snow City and appeal directly to the royal capital of the House of Nobles, and then the House of Nobles will send people to investigate, of course, Richard's behavior cannot withstand scrutiny, but with the slow administrative efficiency of this era, and the distance of thousands of miles, a little stumbling in the middle, at least a year or two.

At that time, with the population of more than 100,000 people in the two territories and the invincible system of heroes, Richard will at least be able to pull up tens of thousands of elite divisions and hundreds of knight-level combat power, and he will also have the confidence to break his wrists with anyone.

Anyway, it's Xianmeng, if it doesn't work, he will play the procrastination decision, hand over the benefits that he Richard eats into his stomach, three words "Impossible!" ”

……

After taking care of the matter at hand, Richard summoned the main members of the city guard and the Hunter family to the council chamber for discussion. Of course, in Richard's style,

The so-called going to the council chamber to discuss matters is to listen to Richard arrange things, you can make suggestions, and it is Richard's business to adopt or not, after all, Viscount Sauter, the only one in this territory who can challenge Richard's authority, will not oppose any decision of Richard at all, unless Richard is crazy and wants to burn the Ironwood Fort.

Soon, the council hall was already filled with the main military and political officials of the Hunter Command, and the old god of Viscount Sauter sat next to Richard and did not take the initiative to speak at all, but everyone was used to Richard giving orders.

"I am going to expand the army, and I think everyone has seen the difference between the combat effectiveness of the city guards and the peasant soldiers after this battle."

Those who participated in the war were well aware that no one disputed this.

"On the basis of our existing 400 city guards, expand to 1,500 men, divided into three capitals, each with 500 men, with Quir, Kocha and Kerry serving as the commanders respectively."

Kocha is Richard's cousin, although he did not participate in this battle, he also took on the responsibility of guarding the house, and Kerry is an old man in the city guard, and he is also a talent that Richard has discovered in recent years, although he is not as good as Quill, but he is also a quasi-knight enough to take on the position of unification.

"We are now in control of the two cities, and we have more than 100,000 people under our control, and it is not appropriate to call the city guards again, so I decided to change the city guards to the Flying Bear Army."

Changing the name is something Richard has wanted to do for a long time, and if he doesn't change it now, he can't be called the City Guard when there are tens of thousands of troops in the future.

"Set up a separate 300-person personal guard, and the guards of the Ironwood Fort will be led by the second uncle."

"Build another cavalry team of 300 people, led by the third uncle."

Richard finished all his arrangements in one breath, and then stopped to look at the crowd, which was his habit, and if anyone disagreed, he could raise it with him.

"Do we have enough money, food, and equipment?"

It was Richard's second uncle who asked the question, in fact, no one would object to the expansion of the army and the change of name, but only worry about the problem of support, after all, although the combat effectiveness of the previous hundreds of city guards was obvious to all, the cost was also extremely high.

Richard didn't answer, but looked at Ig, the archsteward.

After "cough" and Richard made eye contact, Egg coughed and caught everyone's attention.

"The warehouse is well stocked, and this time I have obtained a large amount of grain and grass materials from Boulder Castle, there will be no shortage of grain and grass, but ......" Egger paused.

"We don't have enough equipment, especially ironclad."

"It's okay, first set up the army shelf and train, the iron ore in the ironwood forest has been arranged for mining, and it will start to build as soon as it is in place, now we have to let people wait for equipment, not equipment and other people."

"Then there's no problem."

"Okay, are there any questions?"

After Richard finished speaking, no one was born below.

"Well, I'm going to see enough recruits on the training ground by the end of next week."

After that, everyone dispersed from the conference hall and began to get busy, there were many things, and time was still a little tight.

Viscount Sauter also woke up from his false sleep, seemingly awakened by the sound of the crowd leaving.
