0040 Legendary Knight [Rider with a Thousand Faces]
Rider with a Thousand Faces, nameless.
Probably the most mysterious of the legendary knights who have ever appeared in history.
No one knows his name, no one knows when he became a legend, no one has even seen what he looks like.
But his name, Rider with a Thousand Faces.
It is so deeply imprinted in the hearts of many people in later generations.
This is an unsung legend.
If the Voice of the Dead Bird was founded by the Rider with a Thousand Faces, then this organization is really a bit powerful.
"Fred, do you think it's possible that someone is trying to get rid of me?" Levi asked.
Fred thought for a moment and said, "Most likely, it's the Duke of Montenegro." ”
"But the Duke of Montenegro obviously had a chance to get rid of me six years ago." Levi said.
"That's different, six years ago, it was the time of the holy war, it was the node when your father just died, and getting rid of you at that point in time would easily cause some unnecessary trouble, but now that six years have passed, the Black Snake Knight has turned into the dust of history, and you, as the heir of the Black Snake Knight, have long disappeared from everyone's field of vision, at this time, it must be the most appropriate to find a killer to get rid of you to prevent future troubles, but the Duke of Montenegro probably didn't expect that in just six years, you have grown from a child to a real knight." Fred Knight said.
"Is it possible that Abraham of the church did it?" Levi asked.
"It's possible, but it's unlikely, and if the church really wants to do it to you, it doesn't need to be so troublesome. After all, for the duke, killing a nobleman for no reason also needs to be covered up by the laws of the kingdom and the rules between the nobles, and for the church, with the heavenly Father above, they are the law. And Abraham, the man who recognizes money but not people, we have promised to give money, he should not do this. ”
Knight Fred gave his analysis, and Levi felt that there was some truth.
Now, it is very likely that he is indeed the Duke of Montenegro.
After all, this gang has been in possession of Tulip Collars and Storm Collars for so long, but there is also a mustard that makes them occasionally have some apprehension when they think about it.
That's you, son of the black serpent.
Although he looks like a loser, weak and incompetent, he does not rule out the possibility of revenge from the rise of the fallen nobles in the same legendary story as in the legendary story of thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, as long as there is a trace of possibility, it may cause trouble to the Duke of Montenegro in the future.
And now that six years have passed since the Holy War, no one remembers the Black Snake Knight, and no one cares about the little baron lord in such a remote area.
"Heh, it's very difficult to be a nobleman, obviously I have shown my own disinterest in power as much as possible, as low-key as possible, as much as possible to live in my own world, not to participate in secular disputes, but there are always some big people, accustomed to looking at me with the eyes of power, treating me as an imaginary enemy, as a weed in the way on the side of the road, and pulling me out."
These big people, turning their hands into clouds and covering their hands for rain, are far-sighted, intriguing, high up, and no one in their eyes.
And for ordinary people like Levi who are not good at power struggles, there is only one thing that can be done:
Silently liver proficiency, when his own strength is enough to change everything, crush their heads, trample on their dignity!
"Young Master Levi, although you have advanced to the official knight, but if you fight with the Duke of Montenegro, it is still far away, not to mention the Duke of Montenegro, the Northern Seven Hussars, even the Bloody Earl and the Silver Veil Earl, they are also great knights, they are far superior to us in terms of personal strength and military strength, you can't be impulsive." Knight Fred looked at Levi, whose eyes were red, and said suddenly.
"Don't worry, Fred, I have my own measure, then we can live as usual, in the future, half of the armor forged every month will be left for our own use, and I will first arm a team of fifty elite soldiers."
"If there are conditions, I want to buy war horses and train the militia under our command as real cavalry, and having a fully armed, well-trained, and mobile cavalry team can also greatly enhance our strength."
Levi said his plan for the future, and the cavalry must be done.
In this era of cold weapons, cavalry is the absolute king, a formal knight, maybe one person can deal with ten well-trained ordinary soldiers, but he can definitely not deal with a cavalry team of ten people.
The impact of hundreds of kilograms of war horses, coupled with the heavy armor, wielding spears, heavy hammers, and swords, is absolutely terrifying.
If Levi had a cavalry team of fifty people, he could hang more than two-thirds of the barony's territory, and if he had a cavalry team of hundreds of people, even if it was a county, he would not be afraid of it, as for thousands, then Levi would not dare to think about it now.
During the millennium holy war, the Emerald King launched a counter-invasion war against the Tuva Empire, and in the name of the king, he only recruited more than 20,000 cavalry from nobles from all over the world.
In a word, in this world, although the knights are powerful, what really determines the direction of large-scale wars is still the number of troops, equipment, especially cavalry.
Li Wei originally had no intention of expanding and developing the army, and at first he only wanted to earn a little money for his own cultivation.
However, he found that he was wrong, and in this world, once he sat in this position, he had to meet challenges from all sides.
He must develop his military power so that he can protect himself!
And Levi's line is to take the high-quality and first get a fully armed cavalry out.
On the issue of the construction of the cavalry, armament,
Relying on the current thriving forging industry in the territory, it is only a matter of time before this is resolved.
The biggest headache for Levi was the war horses needed by the cavalry.
As far as Levi knew, a high-quality and pure-blooded mounted alpine war horse would cost eighty gold coins.
If Levi wanted to complete a complete cavalry team of fifty people, and the weapons and equipment and horse armor were ignored, the war horse itself alone would need several thousand gold coins.
And this is just to buy, the war horse needs to consume dozens of catties of feed every day, in order to ensure nutrition, it even has to be mixed with a lot of food eaten by people, this thing is a money-burning machine for the little lord of this era.
But when he thought of the possible crisis in the future, Levi felt that he still had to get started, but he had to think about it in the long run.
At the end of the day, it's still a matter of making money.
"Cavalry, I agree with the young master's idea, if you want to recapture the territory of the Black Snake family in the future, cavalry is also indispensable, but at this stage, the finances of the territory are simply impossible to support the cavalry team, let's take our time." By the way, there is one more thing that I feel compelled to talk to you about. Knight Fred said suddenly. The knight you traded, I think I know who he is. ”
"Who is it?"
"Boar Rider."
