"Sarah, Ralph claims to be the chief knight of Earl Auden, not a knight...... That's the problem itself, and the average knight would never introduce himself like that......"

Indeed, ordinary knights will directly report their names, at most mention their hometown or territory, such as 'knights of the distant country' and 'lord of Jialing Village' and so on.

But certainly not calling himself a 'knight chief'.

Knights loyal to the great nobles do not have the title of chief knight - at most there is a chief knight.

The title of chief knight generally appears in the local armed forces, that is, in various knightly orders, and is a position within the knights, rather than representing nobility.

Moreover, it is well known that it is impossible for a nobleman not to fly the family flag.

Especially a leading knight who needs to lead the army and face life and death and tribulation.

The more noble the knight, the more he will use his coat of arms everywhere - a testimony of a lifetime of honor, and his descendants will be able to boast of the blessings he has earned from the battlefield for generations to come.

If you really meet someone who doesn't play the flag, at most it has not had time to make it, just like the current Li Ang.

It's only been a few days since Leon left the House of Lords, and he really didn't have time to think about making a flag, not that he didn't want to use it—if you didn't have a flag, the enemy lord would probably think that you were not a nobleman but an illegal weapon, and if you ran into it on the battlefield, they would kill you.

Flags can save lives in this era.

The nobles may have relatives with each other, and no one knows whether the two hostile sides will become allies after a while, so there is a tacit understanding between the nobles, unless they die by themselves or accidentally, otherwise they can save their lives as long as they surrender in time.

And there are almost no people like Ralph, who is the commander of the garrison but does not fly his own flag, unless he is not a nobleman and does not have the right to use it.

Sarah reminisced for a moment, and then agreed with Leon's observation and memory.

"Probably he was a civilian. But my lord, what does this have to do with him buying this camp? ”

The approval is only aimed at Li Ang's keen observation, Sarah doesn't understand Li Ang's intentions, and her delicate face is full of confusion, how can this business be discussed?

I'm afraid that this lord's foreign affairs officer is not very easy to be......

"A civilian, who has become the commander of the garrison of Changhe Town, and can command thousands of people under his command, what do you think is the greatest possibility? Moreover, he is also a so-called knight chief. ”

Leon shook his neck and asked Sarah.

"It means that he is not an ordinary civilian...... Nor is it a knight in the conventional sense...... Wait, my lord, you mean, he's the Knight Captain of the Horn Summoning Rangers? ”

Sarah somewhat understood, and there was only one explanation.

The town of Long River has a unique armed force, which is a strong force for patrolling and defending the border, and it is also the basic force of Count Auden's rise back then.

This unit is called the Horn Call Ranger Regiment.

After the Lion Duke Alfred stole the country and established itself, most of the knights loyal to the old Pander Kingdom in the territory were forcibly banned, and only the Lion Knights, the national knights, remained.

The Lion Knights may indeed be formidable, but the Lion Kingdom was once faced with the invasion of the Bacchus Empire in the south, the pirates in the west, and the Cato in the east, leaving the only legitimate knighthood in the territory exhausted.

At that time, Changhe Town was still a frontier, and the northeast was the vast Gatu grassland, and the cavalry of the Gatu people would often enter the territory of Changhe Town to burn and loot.

These steppe barbarians are extremely combative and raid in a horrific way - they will rob all women and belongings, including food and tools.

And with the exception of women, whom they considered property, any male who was taller than a wheel would be slaughtered clean.

Moreover, the Catu, all of whom were cavalry, came and went like the wind, and by the time the lords of all the places hurried in with their armies, the Cato had already returned with a full load.

This unbridled raiding finally made some of the local knights of Long River unbearable, and they spontaneously formed a Horn Summoning Ranger Regiment to deal with the Catus.

These knights would patrol the borders of Long River in small squads, and if they spotted the Gato cavalry, the patrol would blow the horn they carried with them and charge.

Nearby knight squads will rush to support as soon as they hear the horn.

This highly effective mobile defense system successfully prevented the Gatu from raiding the border villages, and the Horn Call Rangers became famous, making these knights the protectors of the local people.

At the same time, it has also become the official default legal knight order of the Lion Kingdom.

Count Auden, on the other hand, is said to have the full support of this armed force - Auden is a native of Long River, and he may have been a member of the Horn Summoning Ranger Regiment, and may even be the Grand Master.

Over time, the Horn Call Ranger evolved into a distinctive group that wore their signature green armor and dressed their horses in green coats—a protective color that gave them an edge in scout warfare and skirmishes in the grasslands and forests.

At the same time, with the successive victories, the territory of the kingdom, or the jurisdiction of Changhe Town, gradually stepped into the grassland border, and they began to introduce a large number of good horse breeds to breed and breed geldings unique to Changhe Town.

This kind of unestrusive, unstartled, and docile war horse gives them the upper hand even in the face of the Gatu, who can ride and shoot well.

This is probably the reason why Ralph took it for granted that the Cato cavalry should be captured or killed after hearing about the Cato hundred.

They did have the ability to destroy the Cato raiders quickly.

Although also known as the Knights, the Horn Summoning Ranger is distinguished from other knights on the continent in one significant way - their core members are not necessarily noble knights.

With the determination to protect their homeland and the skill of being skilled enough, any citizen in Long River Town can start as a sentry and gradually become a core member of the Horn Call Ranger Regiment.

In contrast, this order does not particularly care about status, which may also have something to do with Count Auden.

Of course, the Grand Master can only be a nobleman.

Ralph, the chief knight, must be like this - he is not a noble knight in the ordinary sense, but the 'knight captain' of the knight order of the Horn Summoning Ranger Regiment.

This is actually rare, there are still a large number of nobles in the Horn Call Ranger Regiment, and Ralph must have an extremely good record to become the leader of those nobles.

"Sarah, do you think Ralph is in a place like Long River, facing a power struggle between two high-ranking nobles...... Wouldn't he be very uncomfortable as a civilian? ”

Leon twisted his neck and said slowly.

Sarah was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood: "My lord, Ralph doesn't seem to be very good at being a bureaucrat, otherwise he wouldn't be knocked by you...... I won't give you so many supplies......"

Leon smiled and nodded: "That's right, he's a warrior, a warrior par excellence." I can tell that he is probably better than Klose...... The stage that belongs to him should be the border battlefield, not the intrigue between the nobles. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Sarah, but instead of a businessman's philistine, he was a little worried.

"Sarah, I think you can convince him to buy this place where the Cato must pass through and use it to garrison his elite sentinels...... Here he may well become the second Count of Oden! ”

Sarah's eyes widened, and the clever vixen had already thought of what Leon meant's words meant.

"My lord, do you think that the army of the Cato will attack the Lion Kingdom from here?!"
