After the dynasty was over, Ren returned to the inner palace. Many ministers left one after another, but only Thor remained.
Ren and Thor were sitting opposite each other. Unlike the dense crowd in the main hall, there were only Ren, Thor and a few attendants in the inner hall at this time.
Renn waved his hand, and several attendants withdrew knowingly. Only Renn and Thor were left in the hall.
"Does Uncle Wang think that sending troops from the valley can solve the problem in the north?"
"The garrison in the river valley is useless, and the nobles have not been at war for a long time."
After hearing this, Ren sighed. Although Thor didn't say it clearly, his meaning was very clear. The problem in the North cannot be solved by sending troops from the valley.
The situation in the river valley is different from that in places like the Western and Northern Territories, because it is located at the intersection of the Xiaoling River and the Longjiang River, which is a key location.
The royal family has never enfeoffed larger nobles in the river valley, only some large and small baronies and viscounties, which has also resulted in the situation where the nobles in the river valley are almost scattered.
In order to ensure the royal family's influence and control over the river valley, the kingdom established the position of garrison officer in the river valley and stationed a garrison of 20,000 people, who were directly responsible to the kingdom.
After all, although the territory of the river valley is not large, its population density and prosperity are almost as high as those of Jinlongdu, and its geographical location is very important. You can reach Jinlongdu just a few days down the river.
The kingdom must strengthen its control over the river valley, and the river valley garrison came into being.
However, neither Ren nor Thor had any idea of how much fighting power this garrison, which had experienced almost no fighting since its establishment, had.
"Then it is effective to call on the knights of freedom to go to the Northland to join the war and carve out the Borderlands in the Northland to raise merits?"
This is the second measure decided in the court.
"The number of landless knights and knights without inheritance rights in the entire royal capital and river valley is around five hundred.
It is estimated that there are about a hundred people who dare to try their luck in military exploits when there is an opportunity to be knighted this time. It should have some effect, but it is not enough to calm the chaos in the North."
This is of course useful. After all, they have hundreds of knight-level combat capabilities. No matter how skilled they are in fighting, they can kill a lot of ogres even if they are super soldiers.
"Uncle Wang thinks there's something missing?"
At this time, Ren was somewhat shameless in asking questions. Thor was an important official in two dynasties and the royal family's pillar that held the sky. Compared with the courtiers outside, Ren trusted this uncle Wang who had the same surname more.
"First, the Freedom Riders are difficult to manage. Without people with sufficient prestige and strength to integrate them, it will be difficult to give them unified command.
If these freedom knights all go to the North to fight on their own, the effect will be reduced.
The second is the lack of high-end combat power in the North. From the intelligence point of view, there are at least four ogre chiefs with first-level combat power this time, and there is also an unknown two-headed ogre priest.
The Lanster family lost two more knights in another battle. In terms of high-end combat power, the Northland may not be able to compete with the ogres."
There are almost no knight-level combat capabilities among the free knights who can be summoned to go north. At this level, they have either joined the royal family, or they have been attracted by the big nobles, and it is impossible to go to the north to participate in the war. In other words,
Northland's high-end combat capabilities cannot be strengthened.
And the shortcomings of high-end combat power have to be filled with countless lives, but it is very likely that before the opponent is filled to death, one's own side will collapse first.
After all, even elites like the Jingbei Army collapsed when faced with the ogre chief who lost the control of the big knight. Don't expect the garrison in the river valley and the freedom knights who spontaneously went north to have a strong will to fight.
"Then what does Uncle Wang think we should do?"
"I will go to the Northland myself."
With Thor's identity and strength, it is an absolutely suitable candidate to go to Northland in person.
In terms of identity, he is the uncle of the contemporary king and has the status of a duke. He can definitely win over the nobles and free knights in the valley.
In terms of strength, Thor's cultivation has reached the peak of the Earth Knight. He is the closest person to the legendary paladin realm in the kingdom in the past hundred years. His strength cannot be determined to be the top master of the human race, at least one of the top three, and several ogre chiefs.
Even if they are together, they will not be his match.
With Thor taking the lead, he can also effectively integrate the freedom knights heading to the North. It is impossible for anyone to dissatisfy Thor.
Having Thor come forward to deal with the ogres that caused trouble in the north was like a direct dimension-reducing blow to the ogres.
"this……"
Faced with Thor's self-recommendation, Ren hesitated slightly. It's not that he didn't know that Thor was the most suitable candidate, but if Thor went to the North at this time, there wouldn't even be a dragon knight in the Golden Dragon City.
This time the ogres are moving eastward, and it happens that the orcs are causing trouble in Dragon's Breath Pass again. It can be said that there is something fishy everywhere. If Thor is not in Golden Dragon City at this time, Ren will feel a little uneasy.
Although the Northland is important, in Renn's eyes, the safety of Golden Dragon City is a hundred times more important than the Northland.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. When I go to the North this time, I can go alone. I will let Asuo stay in the Golden Dragon City."
Asuo is Thor's partner for many years, an adult golden dragon. When Thor goes to the North this time, he plans to go there by himself, leaving Asuo to guard the royal capital. As long as the golden dragon is around, some children will not dare to do anything.
Thor himself waited until he arrived in the river valley to reveal his identity, quickly settled the matter in the North and returned to the royal capital.
Ren was visibly stunned when he heard this. There was no precedent for the Zhenguo Dragon Knight, dragon and knight to be used separately. Ren never thought that there would be such a way.
This is not to blame Ren, after all, the inertial thinking has been formed in the past. The dragons are all very arrogant. No one except the knights they recognize can order them to move. As time goes by, no one considers the dragons and knights to act separately.
Something happened.
And Asuo is obviously an alternative among the dragons. He is quite approachable and can communicate with others even if Thor is not around.
After thinking about it for a while, Renn had to admit that Sol's plan was indeed the optimal solution at present.
"Then when does Uncle Wang plan to set off?"
When Ren asked this question, it was equivalent to having approved the plan proposed by Thor.
"The earlier the better, it is best to set out today. Please give me full authority to handle affairs in the North."
"Okay, Uncle Wang is fully responsible for all affairs in the North. Uncle Wang will draw up all rewards and merits. He will make up the decree later."
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty."
After that, Thor saluted Ren. Renn never dared to accept Sol's salute, but this time he still hurriedly helped Thor up. Both parties had done a good job.
…
That day, Saul carried the king's order and took several of his followers with him to ride north on wildebeest.
Wildebeest is a species between cattle and horses. It is taller and stronger than ordinary horses, with much stronger strength, speed and endurance. It is stronger than ordinary quasi-riders.
But its temperament is much stronger than that of ordinary horses, and ordinary cavalry cannot tame it. Only strong knights can tame this wildebeest.
Of course, it is easy for Thor to subdue a wildebeest. Riding on a wildebeest, the distance of thousands of miles can be reached in two days.
The ogre chaos in the North made Thor smell something unusual, and even saw a bit of the orc kingdom.
This time, he will use the power of thunder to quickly resolve the matter in the North and nip the chaos in the bud.
