Richard's social skills were very average, and he was not good at communicating with the aristocracy.

In the conversation between nobles, many times they do not talk directly about interests, and they often like to knock on the side, and they are in the fog and do not directly explain clearly.

Richard's very critical distrust of Spencer made him feel a little unhappy in his heart.

However, Spencer is a very scheming person, even if he is unhappy in his heart, he will not show it on his face.

The Haaland family are hereditary nobles and owe direct allegiance to the royal family.

The hereditary nobility had almost unlimited rights to the fiefs.

The lord can make laws, and as long as they do not violate the laws of the kingdom of Grant, the lord's decree must be enforced.

The lord can set the tax policy, and the tax collected does not need to pay a copper coin to the kingdom except for tithes to the Church of the Seven Gods.

A liege can build a private army, which is an important part of the kingdom's legitimate military power.

The lord also has a lifetime seat in the noble council, which can discuss state affairs and communicate with the leadership of the kingdom of Grant at the noble assembly.

Even the royal family could not go beyond the hereditary nobility and deal with the affairs within the nobles' fiefdoms.

These rights and duties were written on the title deed and notarized by the Church of Crown and Order.

Although Spencer was the magistrate of Heihe County, he was an important official of the royal family in northern Xinjiang.

But after all, he is a rogue official, and he will be replaced in a few years. He was not yet a hereditary nobleman and had no prestige among the nobility.

His aristocratic honors, in fact, were not worth much.

On major issues, the Haaland family would never believe in the so-called aristocratic honor, pinning their hopes on Spencer's morality.

Spencer wanted to get rid of the Haaland family and quietly steal the new trebuchet manufacturing map.

But he didn't dare to act rashly.

Haaland's territory is a newly built territory with few outsiders.

If you ask rashly, it is easy to reveal flaws.

Moreover, the Haaland family attaches great importance to the new trebuchet, and it is not easy to get the drawings.

If Richard were an ordinary person, Spencer could certainly grab it hard.

But the Haaland family is a hereditary nobleman, with an armed force of more than 1,000 people in their territory, and a brigade of orcs has been defeated.

The city defense forces of Black River Fort are all dispatched, and they may not be able to defeat a large group of orcs.

If you want to mobilize the main army, Baron William has been operating in the Northern Legion for more than 20 years, and when the time comes, I don't know who will fight whom?

It is impossible to rob hard, and if someone is caught stealing, it will be brought to the noble council, and the Allen family will also be embarrassed.

Although Spencer himself does not have much credibility, the Allen family has been in operation of the Grant royal family for sixty years, and some members of the family have obtained fiefs through struggle.

Now the Allen family has one hereditary viscount and two hereditary barons in the Harant Kingdom. Among the small and medium-sized nobles, there is already quite a bit of fame.

The Allen family was lost, and Spencer had no good fruit to eat.

A person who disgraces the family, his own strength is not good, and he can only be marginalized.

Not only will the court barons not be able to keep it, but the mayor of Heihe County is estimated to be replaced.

The vast majority of the aristocracy were conservatives, and so was Spencer.

Until the last moment, they will never choose to make decisions that jeopardize themselves.

Even though he hated Richard's directness in his heart, he was able to quickly weigh the pros and cons and decided to write a letter with Richard.

The two nobles wrote a letter together and said the same thing, which was immediately taken seriously by the royal secretary and sent the letter to King Charles.

King Charles read the letter and immediately said to the court earl beside him: "Home, you personally go to Fort William to see the secret weapon of Haaland's territory." Evaluate how much of their exploits should be rewarded? ”

Holm Sunit wears many hats, he is not only a hereditary viscount of the eastern provinces of the Grant Kingdom, but also a seventh-order silver knight, and a court baron, who receives the royal family's salary, directly serves the royal family, and obeys the king's orders.

Hearing King Charles' order, Holm did not drag his feet at all, and respectfully saluted King Charles. With dozens of followers overnight, he immediately hurried to the north.

After Richard defeated Maluland's brigade at Fort William, the orcs continued to bolster their forces in Harland Canyon.

Soon the strength of the orc side increased to three brigades, and a large number of harpy scouts were dispatched.

Stealth people reconnoiter at high altitudes, and the situation in Fort William can't be hidden from the orcs at all.

After discovering the reinforcement of troops in the direction of Fort William, the faces of several orc captains were a little heavy.

"I've sent out a lot of scouts lately. Among them were stealth men who reconnoitred from the air, and human slave soldiers were also sent to reconnoiter in makeup.

Through the intelligence detected by the Harpy, Fort William has increased the number of troops in the direction of the humans, and now there are five squadrons of reinforcements, two main squadrons, and three squadrons of the city defense army. Counting the original defenders of the castle, there are already 2,000 soldiers.

Through human makeup reconnaissance, although we lost part of our manpower, we also figured out who the enemy on the opposite side was?

Fort William on the opposite side belongs to the territory of Haaland. This territory is a new territory, and Lord William is the first generation of military nobles who have made many military achievements.

Now managing the territory and commanding the battles is Richard, the son of Lord William, who has a high prestige in the territory and is also very good at commanding battles. ”

Maluland pointed to the map and introduced the enemy situation to the two orc captains next to him.

"Fort William has a very large geographical advantage, and the auxiliary troops can also play a very important role in this kind of castle that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Besides, the enemy has a very terrible trebuchet, and we shouldn't fight to the death.

In less than three years, the Haaland family will be able to build such a majestic castle, they must be very well funded, I am afraid that there will be hidden forces, we should be more careful to avoid falling into the trap. ”

Another orc captain, Imsh, is a fox man, and fox people are a special species in the orc empire.

In terms of physical talent, fox people are quite average, and some strong human teenagers can kill fox people one-on-one.

But the fox people are very smart, and there are many spells inherited in the bloodline, and many fox people have also been inherited by magicians and become magicians of the orc empire.

In the war with the orcs, the fox people are not easy to deal with.

Female fox people, who also use spells to charm humans. If the spirit attribute is low, the soul spell resistance is poor.

Even high-level professionals can be controlled by this magic.

The appearance of the fox slave girl is very similar to that of humans, and she is also very sought-after in human society, and she is the confinement of the great nobles

Although the fox race has an average population size, it has a high status in the orc empire.

Imsh is a fifth-order magician fox man, who looks like a human scholar, with gold-rimmed glasses on his nose.

But there was some cunning and ferocity in his eyes.
