Chapter 58: Negotiation and Oppression

"Stump, stomp, stomp!"

Columns of soldiers of the Flying Bear Army gathered in the city of Ironwood with neat steps,

Although the big battle was about to usher in soon after the recuperation, the soldiers did not have the slightest dissatisfaction on their faces, but each had an irrepressible excitement.

It's an army that really rejoices in war,

They are not afraid of the cruelty of war, as long as they are not ten deaths and no life, they are willing to fight, they are more afraid that there is no war to fight,

After years of waste, they finally returned to the village to become a farmer, and it was difficult for them to accept that they would return to the old way again for generations.

These are naturally inseparable from Richard's reasonable system of rewards and punishments.

The rewards of the soldiers in battle are not only gold and silver, but more importantly, the channels of ascension.

To put it more modernly, Richard rewarded breathing and qi induction techniques according to military merits, giving them the opportunity to cross classes.

This kind of opportunity is also something that most people have to strive to seize in modern times.

In the past, peasants were peasants, soldiers were soldiers, and every few decades there might be one or two wars that gave ordinary soldiers that a chance of one in 10,000.

Now under Richard, the 1 in 10,000 chance may become 1 in 10,000, although it is still not large, but it has become a real visible and tangible.

If anyone doesn't believe it, there are almost a few soldiers like Matt who have been rewarded by the breathing method in every hundred-man team, and they can show up at any time to speak, which stimulates the enthusiasm of the Flying Bear Army soldiers for war.

Coupled with Richard's intentional or unintentional guidance, now whether it is the Flying Bear Army or the peasant soldiers, they are all fanatical warfighters, and there is a little shadow of the old Qin people who swept through the Six Kingdoms.

Since the annexation of Will, Richard has accelerated the pace of military expansion, previously to prevent the kingdom from being defeated, and now to fight against ogres.

The pace of the expansion of the Flying Bear Army has never slowed down.

Fortunately, the Hunter family has a good supply of soldiers, and the expansion of the army is recruited from the previous peasant soldiers, and these peasant soldiers have also received a lot of training under the leadership of the village sheriff.

Most of them even took the initiative to train on their own, and they were all qualified fighters after receiving a month or two of training after joining the Flying Bear Army.

The impact of large-scale military expansion on combat effectiveness is somewhat subordinate, but it is not unacceptable, and when they experience one or two more major battles, they will not be much different from the old pawns before.

Now the Flying Bear Army has expanded to eight capitals, nearly 4,000 people, if you count their own cavalry, and the cavalry team from several other noble pits, at this time the regular strength of the Hunter family is close to a banner regiment.

Even if you don't count the systematically trained warriors, the current strength of the Hunter family is comparable to that of the Hunter family, except for the Drifting Snow City family, and only a few counties can match the Hunter family.

Now the only shortcoming of the Flying Bear Army is the lack of high-end strength, although the Hunter family has developed rapidly under the leadership of Richard in recent years,

But after all, the Hunter family still lacks some background compared with some wealthy families, and the quasi-knights have been cultivated a lot, and now all eight of Richard's subordinates are all quasi-knights.

But the training of knights can not be completed in just a few years, that is, Richard is more optimistic about Quill, Kerry and others have just reached the level of peak quasi-knights, and I am afraid it will be difficult to advance to knights in a short period of time.

And if it is recruited from the outside, one is that the loyalty is doubtful, and the other is that the Hunter family does not have any capital worthy of knights.

Richard is also more inclined to self-training, slow is slow but can better ensure loyalty, now the official school of Tiemucheng has begun to show results, many students in the official school to learn and hone for a few years, graduation has the strength of a quasi-knight, can directly make up for the army as a junior officer.

Only in the Cavaliers and above are there obvious shortcomings, and perhaps in a few years, the talent development system established by Richard will show even more amazing results.

Of course, because of the existence of the system, the so-called shortcomings of the Flying Bear Army now are impossible to talk about, and the combat power of more than 20 knights is the number of high-end combat power that only a legion of the Jingbei Army can have.

If you count the system army in Richard's hands, then only Drifting Snow City can suppress the Hunter family in the entire Northland.

"Line up, open!"

"Stepping on ......"

The sound of neat footsteps was mixed with the sound of metal colliding.

With Quill's order, the four thousand Flying Bear soldiers quickly divided into two columns, leaving the main road to Ironwood City.

A group of knights rode in from the gates, and the first was Richard.

Dressed in gold-rimmed white armor, riding a snow-white war horse, coupled with handsome facial features, it is really compelling.

It's a pity that the queue on both sides are all mighty soldiers, not young ladies and girls who admire his handsome appearance, which makes Richard feel a little regretful in his heart, and he has a feeling of flattering the blind man.

It was followed by Ron, Viscount Nader and others, in order to cope with the fiasco of the Jingbei Army,

As the commander of the war zone, the Hunter family, in addition to actively mobilizing themselves, naturally has to gather the rest of the nobles to send troops and food together, and if they are not exploited, they are simply sorry for the old silver coin character set by Richard himself.

"Ceremony!"

"Boom!"

As several nobles entered the streets,

Quill shouted again, and the Flying Bear soldiers neatly picked up their weapons and saluted, making a sonorous metallic sound.

The Viscount Nader's eyes narrowed slightly, and the faces of the other three barons also changed color slightly,

The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.

The nobles of the Northland are undoubtedly experts, and the level of equipment and discipline displayed by the Flying Bear Army undoubtedly proves that they are not weak in combat effectiveness.

This ceremony of entering the city was naturally arranged by Richard, not only to welcome the guests, but also to show his muscles, so that Richard could achieve his goals in the following negotiations.

"Crunch, crunch"

With a tooth-aching sound, the gates of Ironwood Fort were slowly pulled up.

Ironwood City was not large, and Richard and his party quickly crossed the streets to Ironwood Fort.

"Please!"

Viscount Sauter was greeting everyone at the door, and Viscount Nader and the others did not dare to take it big, so they dismounted and walked into the castle with Viscount Sauter and walked towards the council hall.

"This?"

Several nobles who could have maintained their demeanor in front of them, talking and laughing with Viscount Sauter and Richard, suddenly froze after turning the corner, their expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

If I'm not mistaken, the more than twenty tin cans standing on both sides of the steps of the council hall seem to be wearing the same armor as the dozen knights last time?

Or are they all knights?

didn't make Viscount Nader and the others puzzled for too long, and the more than twenty crusaders on the side of the steps all ignited their fighting spirits,

But this time they didn't pull out their weapons, but stood still.

More than 20 fighting spirits formed a bright light on both sides of the chamber, like a greeting, but also more like a demonstration.

Viscount Nader even rubbed his eyes and double-checked.

This TM is still talking about!

This is the true thoughts of Viscount Nader at this time, and it is also the consensus of the rest of the nobles......

Only Richard seemed to be unaware on the side, and invited with a smile:

"Everyone, please ......"
