The wheat seedlings on the fields have turned green, and a green wave of wheat is stirred by the spring breeze. The peasants and soldiers with swords bowed at their waists unconsciously slowed down when passing by the waves of wheat, as if they were afraid of trampling on the crops.
generally,
When the peasants and soldiers saw the green wheat waves during their intense patrols, they unconsciously felt relieved. It seemed that this year was another good year.
Although the Northland suffered from ogres during the spring plowing, not every place was destroyed. At least places under the Hunter family and the Nader Territory, which was the first to fall under Richard's command, were stable and productive.
Almost unaffected.
"Please be more vigilant and don't relax. Since the higher-ups have asked us to strengthen patrols, there is a reason. We must be ready to fight at any time!"
"yes!"
The police chief who led the team was a young man, not yet twenty years old, and the dozens of peasant soldiers behind him were only fifteen or sixteen years old, while the older ones were already over thirty.
However, the peasants and soldiers in the village did not dare to underestimate this Sheriff. He came from the official school of Ironwood City and was an expert who almost crossed the threshold of a quasi-knight.
Everyone has seen how strong he is. When pigs were being killed in the village, a big fat pig that could not be held down by four or five people was knocked down with just one kick. The heavy sword in his hand was not something ordinary people could move.
, everyone admired him very much. Now after hearing what he said, Qing Qing put away the soothing and relaxed mentality just now and continued to tighten his spirits. When his eyes swept across the green waves of wheat again, he felt more than happy.
If you have to be more vigilant, maybe there might be enemies emerging from those waves of wheat?
Seeing that the peasants and soldiers were once again on alert, the young Sheriff Rosa nodded with satisfaction. Seeing that the peasants and soldiers brought out by himself looked decent now, he still felt a sense of accomplishment.
Then they continued to patrol along the designated route with the peasants and soldiers.
In fact, Rosa didn't get any relevant information. He didn't know whether there were enemies.
In order to avoid panic, Richard did not make the possible infiltration of orcs known to the public. The police officers in each village were only instructed to strengthen patrols and be vigilant.
It's just that the police officers who came from the official school of Ironwood City have always followed Richard's instructions to the letter. In addition, these days happened to be just after the busy farming season, and the peasants and soldiers did not need to do farm work, so Rosa divided the peasants and soldiers into
For the third team, they patrol continuously, even at night, and they have achieved the level of many professional soldiers.
"Go a little faster, don't miss the alternation time with the second team."
"yes!"
The peasants and soldiers followed the order and accelerated their pace...
…
Ironwood Castle
Compared with the tense situation in the territory, Richard, who was personally in charge of Ironwood City due to the infiltration of orcs, became an idler like Viscount Sauter.
The affairs of the Demon Suppressing City and the Wilderness are now all taken care of by Lin Te. Richard is completely unsuspecting about the people he employs, and puts all the burden on Lin Te.
Richard had also read the letter sent by Lin Te before. The above information about James' participation in the Rising Sun Cult's assassination of him was also within Richard's expectation. Richard did not make any unnecessary moves, just
I made a serious note in my heart,
Not to mention that there is no sufficient evidence for this kind of thing. Even if there is, it is not possible for Richard to move a noble of the Lanster family's level, at least not now.
It is not difficult for him to attack Piaoxue City now. In front of Richard, Piaoxue City has changed from a behemoth to a little girl without the ability to resist. If he directly uses force, Richard is even confident that he can defeat Piaoxue City within a week.
.
But we still have to consider the feelings of the kingdom. If Piaoxue City is directly annexed without following the rules, the Northland will truly become the sole power of Richard's family. No matter how much Renn liked him before, a normal
No king will sit idly by. In short, this revenge must be avenged, but the time has not yet come.
As for another matter, Lin Te took the initiative to explain what Nightingale had concealed at the beginning. After seeing it, Richard just laughed it off without even feeling angry. Maybe from the beginning, Richard trusted Yusidu more.
, did not have high expectations, and naturally he would not be angry because of the gap. However, Lin Te's attitude made him very satisfied. Maybe the whole nightingale was not as important as Lin Te's loyalty in Richard's eyes.
Of course, everything should be dealt with in the same way. If the leader involved in the concealment was directly transferred from Nightingale and given corresponding punishment, it was just because of Lin Te's favor that things were done fairly decently.
In the past few days, apart from reading this letter, Richard had basically nothing to deal with. He had even enjoyed afternoon tea in Ironwood Castle. The joy of leaving the shopkeeper behind was that simple.
In the garden of Ironwood Castle, all the surrounding waiters left under Richard's order. Richard himself sat on a stone bench and brewed a pot of black tea.
Carefully filter out some of the tea residue in the teapot, put the tea soup into another container, then dig out a small spoonful of honey from the small jar and add it to it. After a little stirring, the honey will melt into the tea soup, and then add it to the tea soup.
Pour some milk into it and stir together.
Exquisite!
Although Richard was born and raised in the Celestial Dynasty in his previous life, when it comes to drinking tea, he prefers the Western-style drinking method of black tea with milk and honey. There is no other reason than that he likes sweet taste, but Richard himself always prefers it.
I want to add some reasons to the euphemistic name, what can nourish the stomach, detoxify and sleep well? There are a lot of reasons in it.
However, Richard, who had carefully prepared the afternoon tea, did not enjoy it himself first. Instead, he poured out a cup and handed it to the other side.
"Your Majesty Aragon, please!"
At this time, the person enjoying afternoon tea with Richard in the garden was actually Aragorn.
Shortly after obtaining the magic crystal mine, Richard provided the magic power for the ring as agreed, and Aragorn managed to regain his sight through some means.
It is impossible to say how much Richard trusts Aragorn. In fact, no one wants to be surrounded by an old monster who doesn’t know how many secrets and evil intentions, especially you, who is also full of secrets.
Condition,
But the alliance between the two is absolutely stable, because they both have the same powerful enemy, the God of the Rising Sun.
The hatred between Aragorn and the God of the Rising Sun was forged hundreds of years ago. The two have an everlasting relationship.
At first, Richard just had trouble with the Rising Sun Cult, but since he muddle-headedly guided the Sun to break through the door, he has naturally become a staunch ally of Aragorn. He can't get rid of the relationship even if he wants to.
Therefore, in view of the stable alliance between the two, after careful consideration, Richard provided Aragorn with the magic crystal, released him from the ring, and even helped him find a temporary body.
"Well, your way of drinking tea is a bit weird. It's more like the way those barbarians in Taixi used to drink it."
Aragorn, who was wearing silk casual clothes, took a sip of tea from Richard and commented.
"I also have some tribute tea sent from the south. I heard that it was the tribute tea that you personally granted me. It has been passed down for hundreds of years. Would you like to have a taste?"
"Forget it, let me just say this. My body only relies on the supply of magic power to keep moving. I can't even taste it. Don't waste a good thing."
"Fine."
"Is there any news about the Rising Sun Cult these days?"
In the past few days after Aragorn woke up, apart from asking about the affairs of the kingdom at the beginning, all his attention was still focused on the Rising Sun Cult. For him, solving the problem of the Rising Sun Cult and the kingdom that the Rising Sun God wanted to create himself
Much more important.
"Since the Rising Sun Sect in the royal capital was severely damaged last time, it has been very low-key recently. However, there is something that may require His Majesty Aragorn's help."
"oh?"
"I have received reliable news here that orcs are about to infiltrate into the North. If the enemy is too strong, I hope His Majesty Aragorn can take action."
"Where did you get this news?"
"I have some special channels..."
There was no way to talk about this matter, so Richard could only deal with it.
"Hey, I'm willing to help you deal with the orcs, but you know my current situation. It's good if I can move my body."
"Look, how stiff this arm is."
As he spoke, Aragorn raised his arm and waved it in front of Richard.
"If there were Echinacea in the South China Sea, this wouldn't be the case..."
