This horse bred with the blood of a kobold or a red dragon is already perfect, and even a demanding person like Richard is very satisfied.
"Please name the new horse breed."
"Red Flame"
This name came to Richard's mind after seeing the breeding results, and it matches the horse's characteristics quite well.
Richard also bred the remaining nine war horses into red flame horses one by one, and all the breeding quota for this week was used up.
Unfortunately, the Red Flame Horse is still in the stables of the Stone Castle, and Richard cannot see the real thing for the time being.
Richard, who had bred the Red Flame Horse, was in a great mood. Even looking at the whimpering kobold being carried in his hands, he found it a bit cute.
Finally, with a smile on his face, Richard took him to the camp where the kobolds were held and executed him in public.
Although he was in a good mood, the escaped prisoners must be put to death as a warning to others.
"Quil"
"Lord Richard."
Hearing Richard's call, Quill, who was patrolling the camp, quickly came to Richard.
"Where are the Naders and the other families now?"
Since he is about to collide with the ogres, in addition to several nobles in the fifth war zone who want to send troops, Richard will naturally also ask several lords under his command to send troops together.
After all, even he himself mobilized half of the Flying Bear Army and almost all of the system's army. If the other companies did not contribute, wouldn't he, Richard, become a saint who is not self-interested but only benefits others?
"When we set off, they had just arrived at Naderland. Their movement was a little slower. It will probably take another day before they arrive."
"Um."
Richard nodded and had no higher requirements. These noble private soldiers were only one day slower than his own Flying Bear Army, so their quality was actually quite good.
…
The sun is shining and the spring breeze is warm
Different from the wild climate in the north, after passing Zhenbeiguan in the south, the temperature in the valley area warmed up very quickly as spring entered. The thin willows had already sprouted new buds, and people on the street also took off their cotton-padded jackets and put on unlined clothes.
The poorest families in Burai City all showed long-lost smiles under the warm sunshine.
Winter is the most difficult season for poor people. After getting through it, they finally have some hope of life.
However, the big shots in Burai City have not smiled much in the past two days, and have become more and more worried.
Burleigh, the residence of the Sade family.
Although the Sade family's mansion was built in the city of Burai, the walls were built very high, and the inner courtyard was completely like a heavily guarded castle.
Today, the living room of the Sade family was very lively. Almost all the powerful people in Burleigh City were present. Representatives of the twelve founding families of the city were all present. The only missing person was Dane, the commander of the garrison.
"This Dane has not shown up for several days, and has completely sealed off the garrison. No news can be spread, and no one can get in. What does he mean?"
The twelve noble families were not stupid. An important figure like Dane did not show his face for several days and even blocked the garrison station, which gave them a sense of danger.
"Why, are you scared to death when you heard that the king is coming? Are you still trying to cut off the relationship with us now?"
"He can't even think about how many benefits he has received over the years. Now he wants to cut off the relationship? He has been in the same boat with us for a long time."
"It's impossible. Maybe there was an accident."
If Thor's appearance is an accident, then this is indeed true.
Dane, who was originally planning to work with these twelve noble families to deal with the envoys from the royal capital, immediately knelt down when he saw Thor and sold them out completely.
"Quiet, don't make any noise."
The old man sitting in the main seat knocked on the table to silence everyone.
The old man is the contemporary head of the Sade family, Viscount Sade. Although his temples are gray, he has not been weighed down by age because of his strength as a great knight. Instead, he speaks with great vigor.
"What does Vicomte de Sade have to say?"
Everyone's eyes are also focused on Vicomte de Sade. Although the twelve families are equal in status, each family has a key vote.
But as long as there are people and interests, there will be no absolute equality. Although there are still these twelve noble families on the round table, after so many years of development, each family in Burai City has always been divided into strong and weak.
And now the Sade family has become the richest and most powerful family among the twelve families. When there was no external pressure, the other eleven families were still vaguely wary of the Sade family.
Now that they are under pressure from the capital, they have sincerely come to Sade's house to join the group to keep warm.
"I don't have any advice. Every family should be more vigilant when they go back and gather their most effective armored guards. Don't tell me that your big family business can rely on the protection of the Burai City Guards."
Hearing this, everyone at the table smiled knowingly. Everyone knew what the city guard was like.
This kind of armed force is neither a family private soldier nor a direct army of the kingdom, but only belongs to the city of Burai. No one cares about it. It is usually used to frighten civilians and maintain basic public order.
The real reliance of each family is on the private soldiers who are usually fed with gold and silver. Each family's castle has at least two to three hundred elite private soldiers who dare to fight to the death.
For example, the strongest private soldier of the Sadr family has nearly 500 soldiers. The combat effectiveness of this kind of private soldier will not be inferior to the elite of the First Flag Regiment of the Jingbei Army. In terms of well-equipped equipment and the number of strong men, it is even better than them.
superior.
"Each of you go back and gather your bodyguards together. Our twelve families will watch and help each other. How dare someone from his royal capital touch our twelve families at the same time?"
"As long as he doesn't want trouble in the river valley, he has to cooperate with the twelve of us. As long as we work together, no matter who comes, no one can touch us."
"Yes, what Mr. Sade said makes sense!"
As soon as Viscount Sade finished speaking, there was a burst of applause from below, as if the previous troubles had never existed. The twelve families in Burleigh City had not been so united for a long time.
"It's not good, it's not good!"
Just when the atmosphere was lively and everyone was talking happily, a guard from the Sade family hurried in and shouted something that did not suit the atmosphere.
"Why are you panicking?"
After Viscount Sade scolded him, the guard finally calmed down.
"The garrison has surrounded us!"
The guard recovered from his panic, but as soon as he spoke, it was the nobles at the table who started to panic.
"How can it be!"
"How dare he, Dane!"
And Viscount de Sade, who was originally in the chief seat, was also livid at this time.
As soon as he finished saying that no one dared to touch them, the garrison immediately surrounded them. The slap in the face came really quickly.
"Don't panic! The castle of my Thad family is very safe, and the garrison cannot enter!"
Normally speaking, Viscount Sade's words are fine. Although the garrison has many people, Castle Sade is not only built solidly, but the guards guarding the castle are also very powerful.
If the Sade family were to defend the castle, it would indeed be difficult for Dane to lead the garrison to attack them.
But this time it was not the familiar Dane who led the army...
