In a secluded mansion in Ironwood City, several Crusaders blocked the door.
Since Rand was eliminated that day, Aragorn has not moved back to Ironwood Castle and has been living in this mansion to recover. Richard only arranged for people to provide him with the necessary materials and arranged several waiters for him to dispatch.
Richard took Fred and Mills into the courtyard together. Aragorn was sitting in the pavilion with his eyes closed, looking like he was drunk in the spring. Hearing the sound of Richard coming in, he opened his eyes and asked:
"Boy Richard, why did you come to me again?"
"Huh"
As soon as he finished asking, Aragorn noticed the burly Fred behind Richard.
"You have more masters under your command."
Richard didn't respond, and he couldn't explain such a thing, so he directly explained his purpose to Aragorn.
"Your Majesty Aragorn, do you want to come with me when I go to the royal capital this time?"
There are a lot of secrets hidden in Aragorn. Richard even thought that he might be able to get Lord Qing, who was in charge of the palace, to come to the North to take charge. That would be really as stable as Mount Tai.
"Why would I go to the royal capital like this?"
Aragorn shook his head and rejected Richard's invitation.
Others don’t recognize you, and it’s impossible for someone of Qing’s level not to recognize you. Also, it would be nice to give me a dozen of the treasures you left in the capital. This is what Richard thinks in his heart, and of course he can’t bring it to the table.
Let’s talk about it.
"I'm going to marry your great-great-great... daughter. Can you give me some indication?"
"Then you call me great-great-great...father and I'll listen."
"Once upon a time... Sir, my younger brother, Richard, would like to send you my regards."
Aragorn: "..."
He really didn't expect that even though he was a noble prince, Richard could still be so shameless.
In the end, he could only hold back the word "go away" to Richard.
Of course Richard wants face, but it also depends on who is right. When facing his subordinates, Richard must always maintain his majesty when showing intimacy, but when meeting an old monster like Aragorn
, it’s pointless to continue to put on airs. It’s better to be shameless and get some actual benefits. What’s more, he will marry the Messiah soon, so he won’t suffer any disadvantage in terms of his seniority.
Seeing that Aragorn had no intention of going to the royal capital, Richard didn't get any benefits, so he quickly slipped away. Richard had to seize the time to go south. With the sound of the door slamming, there was only closed door left in the yard.
Aragorn looked so rested.
"The point of breaking the situation is not in the royal capital..."
…
The procession heading south to welcome the bride departed from Ironwood City in great force. Although it was a procession to welcome the bride, except for some decorations on their bodies, everyone in the team was armed to the teeth.
The champion knights and crusaders would not be affected by the embroidered flower on their chests when they drew their swords, nor would the red dragon that had been hovering at low altitude be restricted by the big red flower above its head.
The lords along the way took the initiative to provide convenience for the team. There was enough drinking water and food along the way. Although the team moved very fast, the conditions were not difficult. This is the benefit of inside operations.
Moreover, the combination of Red Dragon's high-profile appearance and Richard's marriage to Princess Messiah also made more northern nobles sober up. Many of the nobles who were still under the Lanster family had
Looking at the situation, it is only a matter of time before the Lanster family completely declines. Even if the conditions of the Hunter family are harsher, it is still better than leaving the ship to sink.
Not only did they take advantage of Richard's trip south to cooperate vigorously and ensure logistics along the way, they had even prepared gifts. Regardless of whether she had received an invitation or not, when the princess arrived in Ironwood City, she had to send a gift to express her position.
For these attentive people, whether the other party is looking at the face of Red Dragon, the face of Messiah, or has noticed that there will be big changes and wants to find a big tree to enjoy the shade, no matter what the other party is holding
No matter what his mentality, Richard always accepts everyone who comes.
Loyalty can be cultivated slowly. As long as the other party joins the Hunter family's system, they will be dragged forward. It is difficult to jump out of the car. Moreover, troubled times are coming. As long as there is a brain, it is impossible to leave voluntarily.
This big tree, the most uncomfortable thing in the whole process was for the Lanster family.
James broke several more cups at the Marquis Mansion in Piaoxue City. Unfortunately, everything was just incompetent and furious. As the Hunter family showed more and more strength, the declining Lanster family even had the courage to make small moves.
All gone.
James actually wanted to do something, and take advantage of the fact that Richard's team going south to welcome his bride passed through Piaoxue City's sphere of influence to cause some trouble. However, as soon as he proposed this idea, he was stopped by the old guys of the Lanster family. James
Mu is still a little impulsive. These old guys who have lived for decades can see clearly that the objective condition for the existence of the Lanster family now is that the kingdom has not fallen and the rules of the kingdom are still there. If you want to provoke Richard again, point out
Maybe Richard also took down Piaoxue City on impulse.
James was originally ambitious to restore the 100,000 Jingbei Army, but in the end he could only maintain three legions. The quality was far worse than before, let alone compared with the Hunter family. They were no longer on the same level.
of players.
Now James is not as strong as when Lint was in charge, let alone the power when Marquis Wade was still there. Although he is not a puppet, his power is also subject to greater checks and balances, and some impulsive decisions are difficult to make.
In the end, all they could do was watch Richard's wedding team swaggering past Piaoxue City.
…
Zhenbeiguan
The door was opened early, and there was no preparedness for the Hunter family's team. Even the highest commander of the river valley, Legion Commander Dane, was in the team to greet Richard.
Zhenbeiguan, a gate city built to the north, was originally built to guard against ogres, half-elves, forest wild people and other forces in the wilderness. However, when Zhenbeiguan was built, it was still the expansion period of the human race, and later the Northland was basically developed.
, the actual significance of Zhenbeiguan is not great anymore.
A big reason why Dane dared to eat most of the empty sound was because he thought that there would be no problem with the safety of the river valley. It wasn't until Grugesh led the ogres eastward to cause trouble in the North that Zhenbeiguan was taken seriously again.
, a new river valley army was also established with Zhenbeiguan as the center.
Now that orcs have appeared in the north, the kingdom's emphasis on Zhenbeiguan has reached a new level. The kingdom has repeatedly asked Dane to strengthen the defense of Zhenbeiguan, but Dane neglected this defense when facing Richard.
He was so relaxed that he discovered the traces of Richard's team three miles in advance before Richard arrived, and ordered his men to open the city gates wide and line up to meet them.
"Sir Richard, going south to marry the princess this time has made our northern warriors angry. I heard that many nobles in the royal capital were beating their chests and feet after hearing this."
Strictly speaking, Dane can only be regarded as half a Northland warrior. People in the River Valley look down on the nobles of the Northland, and are looked down upon by people in the Royal Capital. Next to the Northland, he is occasionally looked down upon by the nobles of the Royal Capital.
He is regarded as a barbarian from the North, but this does not affect Dane's ability to get close to Richard.
"Hahaha, the princess and I truly love each other. What does it have to do with those kids from the royal capital?"
"I made a mistake. The Marquis is a man of temperament."
"Brother Dane, let's try one."
Richard handed Dane a cigarette newly produced by Ironwood City. This was also a way to build a relationship with a certain group of people. Dane's attitude made Richard very satisfied. The Marquis barked in a well-behaved manner and all his movements were smooth.
The intention of surrender was clearly expressed, so Richard naturally had to show a certain degree of closeness appropriately, which meant that he regarded him as one of his own.
"S"
Regardless of whether it was good or not, Dane took it and lit it with a fire stick to enjoy it with Richard.
In terms of understanding of the Hunter family, or Richard's power, apart from Lane, who has a black jail to collect intelligence, Dane is probably ranked second. After having this level of understanding, plus
Dane's character of making decisive bets has led to Dane's decision to completely turn to Richard. If it weren't for the fact that a royal guard was about to enter Zhenbeiguan, and when the kingdom changed, the defenders of Zhenbeiguan might be able to directly
Sold Guancheng and took Richard directly to Burai City.
…
"This trip south is very important, so I won't leave the Marquis alone."
After stopping for a while in the river valley and expressing his importance to Dane, Richard continued to lead his people south...
…
royal palace
"Sena, what day is it today?"
"My princess, how many times do you have to ask me this question every day? Sir Richard has only left for less than a week, why are you so anxious to marry yourself off?"
Messiah has a gentle temperament and is not very dignified towards her servants. As Messiah's personal maid, Senna occasionally dares to joke and tease Messiah.
"Begging for a beating!"
When the maid said this, Messiah, who was already a bit shy, immediately blushed and tried to fight. Senna also pretended to dodge, and the two of them got into a fight.
"It's normal for Her Royal Highness the Princess to look forward to Sir Richard coming to the capital. Which girl in the kingdom doesn't want to marry Sir Richard? I heard that many men in the theater want to get close to Sir Richard."
"Man? Is there any man who likes Richard?"
"You don't understand this..."
As Sena spoke, she suddenly reacted and covered her mouth, unwilling to say any more.
Messiah asked a few questions out of curiosity, but Senna had no choice but to change the subject.
"Your Highness, Princess, please make good preparations to marry Lord Richard. Lord Richard is handsome in appearance and strong in strength. He was awarded the title of Marquis at a young age and is the number one master in the kingdom. What girl wouldn't like him?"
"So, you also want to marry Richard?"
"I, am I not born as a princess, and die as a princess? If the princess marries Lord Richard, I will naturally marry Lord Richard as well."
"Okay, you damn girl, now you're thinking about Richard. Let's see if I don't tear your face apart."
"Help, help!"
The two played and joked for a while, and finally stopped when they were really tired.
Messiah sat quietly on the chair again, looking north through the window, as if she wanted to see Richard who was galloping south...
