Chapter 13: New Forces
"Uncle Ruigon, this person is really not polite at all, and he left like this" Seeing Qin Feng leave directly with the guards, Shirina couldn't help but complain angrily: ", Doesn't he know that treating a nobleman like this will be ridiculed by other nobles? ”
"Linna, have you forgotten our responsibility to be here?" Sirigang sighed and said decadently, "How long do you think we can support the Renault family alone, is it a day or two?" The loss of the Cold Iron Fortress has caused us to lose all of our friends in the Empire, and we simply can't find a family that can be allies except the Rhineres. Linna! Can you take your temperament away, just for your father, for your family. ”
The Reynolds are located in the far north of the Empire, and the Iron Fortress is the largest city in their domain. The Cold Iron Fortress was the only way for the orcs to go south to the Empire, and its sudden loss caused the unsuspecting northern part of the Empire to fall quickly to the Orcs. After the emperor's expedition failed, the emperor, who fled back to the south, forcibly put the whole fault on the Renault family, believing that it was all the Renault family who lost the Cold Iron Fortress that caused the orcs to invade the empire. This made the situation of the Renault family in the empire very serious, the former allies have all severed ties with them, and now the remaining Renault family is trapped in the small "iron ice" fortress and isolated.
"Got it, Uncle Rigon." Shirina bit her lip, remembering her father's tired body and the expectant eyes that looked at her before leaving, she reached out and pulled up her hood, covering her blonde hair, and whispered, "I'll do my best, Uncle Ruigon." ”
Sirigon, looking at Shirena's thin body, sighed, he didn't tell Shirina. Before they left, the lord had told him that if it really didn't work, they could marry, and the object of the marriage was Silina. He watched Shirina grow up, and Shirina treated him like his own daughter, but in the face of the life and death of the family, although he was unwilling, he also knew that the master's explanation was not wrong.
Following the flow of people, they came to the Baron's Palace, where the dinner was held, and it was bustling with people at this time. Carefree children are bouncing and playing, sturdy women are laughing and cooking, and men are busy slaughtering pigs and sheep.
Shirina was also infected by this joyful atmosphere, and forgot about her unhappiness, and she somehow bought a candy from the vendor that the children ate, and licked it and laughed, with an innocent smile on her face.
As Renault's cavalry commander, Sirigon sees a different perspective than Silina. From the beginning, his eyes never left the soldiers standing guard not far away. Excellent armor, a strong body, a huge shield, and a short dagger at the waist. At first, Sirigon, too, wondered, is such a short weapon suitable? But after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly understood, this is infantry, not cavalry, they don't need long weapons to fight from horses, they are close to the enemy, under the protection of huge shields, short and flexible short swords are definitely much better than clumsy long swords.
No wonder they were able to win under the attack of more than 2,000 gnolls, and with the quality of these soldiers alone, the power of the Rhinereth was no weaker than that of the average viscount.
At this time, Qin Feng was sitting in the study, holding a book on the history of the Renault family in his hand, and he had become interested in this family after meeting Shirina and Sirigon. Aside from merchants and outcasts, they were the first nobles to come to Pur Town, and he didn't know what their purpose was, but that didn't prevent Qin Feng from understanding them.
"The ancestors of the Renault family are the Reynolds who live in the Far North, this race is somewhat similar to the barbarians, but unlike the barbarians, they have a clear social division of labor and cultural heritage. They had been fighting against the orcs of the north for many years, and it was not until the founding emperor went on an expedition to the north that they joined the empire, and because of their exploits and the characteristics of their race, their fiefdoms were divided into the northernmost part of the empire, defending the empire against the orcs. Qin Feng closed the book when he saw this, and said to himself: "This Renault family looks a little similar to the Vikings!" ”
This was Qin Feng's first feeling after seeing Shirina and Sirigon, because of inertia, after seeing Shirina's blonde hair and blue eyes, his first feeling was whether they were Vikings or not. This may be because he watched too many American dramas in his previous life, but after carefully understanding the Renault family, he found that except for them who can't sail, everything else is very consistent.
Shaking his head with a smile, Qin Feng felt that his nerves were too tight during this time, and he actually thought of this aspect. With a wry smile, Qin Feng turned on the system.
It's been a while since he's officially entered the system, and although the system has helped him a lot, the other roles of the system are honestly not obvious except for the war aspect, so he doesn't have time to deal with trivial matters all the time.
"Contacted by the new forces, orcs, gnolls, frost dwarves, and the Renault family." As soon as I turned on the system, the system kept sounding.
When Qin Feng heard this, he opened the diplomatic map, and the picture in front of him turned into a huge map, but except for the small dot on the map, Bull Town, all the other places were covered by dense fog.
There are still a few places on the map that are not obscured by the fog, but they are only a blur, and you can't see anything other than a few dark cities.
The crest of the Lei Luo family is a giant bear standing and roaring, Qin Feng saw them in the north of the map, and now they only have a small territory left under the erosion of the orcs, in Qin Feng's thoughts, they must have come to Bull Town to ask for help.
"This is an orc!" Retracting his gaze, Qin Feng looked at the other one again, seeing that the entire north of the empire and the direction of the extreme north were all colored forces, and nodded as he spoke.
"Orcs: Engaged: House Rheinryth
Strength: strong and brilliant Strength: weak
Economic Strength: WealthEconomic Strength: 300+1700 (Gold coins obtained from the Gnolls after winning the war.) )
Trade Target: Barbarians, Barbarians Trade Target: Purple Gold Empire
Military Alliance: No Military Alliance: None
Defensive Alliance: No Defensive Alliance: Frost Dwarves
Warring Nations: Purple Gold Empire, Dwarves, Frost Dwarves, Elves....Warring Nations: Orcs
Subordinate Forces: Greenskins, Werewolves, Goblins, Gnolls, Overlords: Purple Gold Empire
"It's really a big gap in strength! Fortunately, the orcs also have more enemies, and they should not look down on the small town of Boer. Qin Feng was about to shut it down, when he suddenly found that Bull Town actually had a defensive alliance called the Frost Dwarves, "What are the Frost Dwarves, why haven't I heard from the housekeeper that we actually have such a defensive alliance?" ”
Exiting the interface, Qin Feng looked at a force on the map in the mountains behind Bull Town, presumably this was the Frost Dwarf. Qin Feng felt a little uncomfortable with this force, first of all, he was in the rear of Bull Town, and they didn't send troops to help when Bull Town was invaded by the Jackals.
Qin Feng was a little unhappy in his heart, but at this time, he had no choice but to find a time to ask the housekeeper to take someone to ask for an explanation. Promises and vows are very valid things in this world, unlike in my hometown, where they are almost a joke. Breaking an oath here is to be spurned by anyone, especially the state and the nobility, and once the covenant and oath are broken, it is tantamount to losing honor.
And Qin Feng is ready to ask for an explanation, which is completely reasonable in this world, if the frost dwarf doesn't give an explanation, then Qin Feng is also ready to teach them a lesson.
Exiting, Qin Feng checked the situation in Bull Town now.
