"Drive, drive!"

A cavalry squad from the north came from the official road, because the cavalry led by him was carrying a command flag, and he thought that there was some military situation.

The crowded civilians at the gate made way for it, after all, if they were hit and killed by this kind of flying horse that reported emergency military information, they would really die in vain, and maybe they would be detained a big hat for delaying military information.

More than a dozen cavalrymen were able to enter the Golden Dragon Capital after being inspected by the guards at the city gate.

The cavalry of the Northland is very easy to identify, the horses of the Northland are generally short, and the more than ten cavalrymen riding are obviously the short and heavy horses of the Northland, which can be recognized by anyone with a little knowledge.

The people of the Northland are no different from the hillbillies in the eyes of the people of Jinlongdu, and they are more or less discriminated against in the royal capital.

The commoners of the royal capital looked down on the commoners of the Northland, and the nobles of the royal capital regarded the nobles of the Northland as the nobles of the countryside.

Of course, like the Randster family, and the newly promoted Hirano Berhunt family are not among them now, as long as the strength is strong enough, the regional black will not dare to black their heads,

More than a dozen cavalrymen from the Northland did not feel any discrimination,

They are all soldiers under Hirano Bo Richard, and this time they are responsible for escorting important evidence to the royal capital.

Although they have taken the official road all the way, and they are in the royal capital, they are not carrying any peerless treasures, and generally no one will come to fight their ideas.

But for the sake of safety, Richard still sent a small team of a dozen elite horsemen to the royal capital with a box containing the two heads of Grugesh.

Although the bantam horses ridden by these cavalry are a little funny in the eyes of the people of the royal capital, who are accustomed to seeing the horses of the western realm, the armor on each body and the sword and bow on the waist are about the same as the truth.

This looks like a very capable elite, and naturally no one dares to provoke it.

"Captain, there are so many people in this Golden Dragon Capital, more than the people in Drifting Snow City."

"Nonsense, this is the royal capital."

In fact, the captain has never seen the prosperity of the royal capital, and at most he has been to Drifting Snow City.

But now he has to save face in front of his men.

"Captain, how do you say that the tavern in this royal capital compares to that of our Ironwood City?"

"Much bigger, of course."

"That..."

"Okay, okay, don't give me a while, here and there, send the things to the place first, there is no urgent military situation this time, after the things are delivered, I will take you to the tavern in the royal capital to see and understand."

"Oh!"

The soldiers cheered together when they heard the captain's promise, causing a sideways look from the injured pedestrians on the street,

There are two kinds of taverns in the royal capital, the taverns opened by the dwarves are good, and the general wine is good, that is, the drunkards drink purely, and the taverns opened by humans are somewhat tricky.

It is very clear that there is a difference between meat and vegetables,

The Northlanders are good at drinking, and seeing that the cavalry are so excited, I think the captain is going to take them to the dwarven tavern to drink some good wine.

…

The royal capital, the garrison of the forbidden army.

Thor spends most of his time in the office.

"Lord Thor, a team of cavalry from the north has brought you something, saying that it was mentioned by Uncle Hirano."

"Huh? Present it. ”

"Yes, sir."

The news of Richard's attack on the wilderness and his success in getting rid of Grugash has long since reached Thor through the Wind Bird.

Although Saul felt that Richard did not dare to play with this kind of thing,

But it was still a little unimaginable, so he kept suppressing the news, waiting for Richard to present the evidence later,

After all, he had seen the ogre to combat power, and he also knew how difficult the wilderness expedition was.

Although he trusted Richard's ability, his psychological expectation has always been that Richard can firmly guard the original Helburg and prevent the ogre from advancing eastward again.

But he didn't expect that it didn't take long for Richard to surprise him,

He had to verify the news before he was ready to speak for Richard.

Now, almost half a month has passed, and Richard's men have finally sent the evidence,

"Your Excellency."

Two guards brought the box in,

"Just put it on the table."

Thor knew what was in the box, but he wasn't particular about it, and planned to put it on the table directly.

After so many years of fighting on the battlefield, Thor has never seen any strange creatures.

The two guards placed the box on the table, and under Thor's command, they opened it neatly.

Thor saw such a strange head, he had never seen it before,

However, because of the strangeness of these two heads, Saul further confirmed Richard's exploits,

The two hideous ogre heads are placed together, and they haven't broken down because they have been embalmed.

The point is that the necks of the two heads are still connected with flesh and skin, and it can be seen at a glance that this is the head of Grugesh, unless there is another two-headed ogre in the wilderness,

Richard was quite particular about the night of this sword slash, and deliberately lowered the incision, leaving the joint, thus proving that it was the head of the two-headed ogre Grugersh,

Otherwise, there are few people on the human side who have seen Grugesh, and even if they do, ogres look the same in the eyes of humans, and they probably can't recognize them.

This sword cut was painstaking, Richard had obviously been thinking about these two heads for a long time, and even thought about how to cut them.

Thor reached out to the junction again to check it, paying attention to the lines on the flesh joint, and after confirming that it was not fake, he closed the box again.

"Prepare it for me, and go to the palace to see the king at once."

"Yes, sir."

…

Richard's credit this time is quite large, and the specific reward is no longer something that Saul can easily decide.

According to the reward set before, Richard directly offered Grugesh's head this time is already a credit that can be crowned.

Originally, the ogre's bounty was not high,

If you have to talk about this matter, you have to talk about the Jingbei Army,

Because the originally powerful Jingbei Army suffered defeats on the ogre army led by Grugersh, and even the contemporary head of the Lancet family, Marquis Wade, was planted in it.

As a result, the ogre's head, which was not worth much military merit, rose to a higher level, and became second only to orcs in military merit.

Purely from the theory of military merits, Richard Fenghou is no problem,

But obviously, this kind of thing can't be just from the perspective of military merit, this matter also involves the power pattern of the north, and it is obvious that it must be considered carefully.

The nobles of the Golden Dragon Kingdom say that there is not much to say, and it is definitely not a lot to say less.

Baron, a nobleman at the level of a viscount, is at the bottom of the entire pyramid, and the golden dragon is full of handfuls,

As long as the military merit is enough, it will be given directly, and the kingdom will never be stingy,

When it comes to the position of the earl, it can be regarded as the waist of the pyramid, and it can be regarded as a force that can affect the situation in a place everywhere.

Although it is not easy to give, if the military merit is solid enough, there will not be too many twists and turns.

But when it comes to the marquis, it is no longer simply based on military merits, but also in terms of the political pattern of the kingdom, and the intertwining of local forces.

At the level of the marquis, in the golden dragon, they are all top nobles who can have a say in the affairs of the kingdom.

In the local fiefdom, it is like the previous Lanster family, who became the princes of the dominant side,

How to ensure loyalty to the royal family and how to balance local forces are all questions.

"Uncle Wang is in such a hurry, what's the matter with me?"

Thor saw that Wren was going well, and according to Wren's order, as long as Thor wanted to see him, even if he was in a concubine's room, he had to inform him immediately, and no guard would stop Thor from stopping him.

"Regarding the matter of the Northland, the two-headed ogre was killed by Uncle Hirano,

Now the skulls have been sent to the royal capital, and I have already examined them..."

Thor didn't talk much nonsense, and after greeting Wren as usual, and being helped up by Wren, he told the news of the Northland straight to the point.

"Good!"

Wren couldn't help but high-five after hearing the news, he was really afraid that the pressure on the orc kingdom would increase dramatically and face an erosive northland.

There were some signs of the rise of ogres before, and Richard killed Grugesh, which was considered to have put this trouble down,

But then, Wren fell silent,

He realized why Thor had come to him,

"What does Uncle Wang mean?"

"Feudal Marquis"
