Riding and Slashing: The Dragon and the Lord

Chapter 78: The Nordic Kingdom in the north

Views:

System prompt: Your friendship level with Count Harun has increased to 8.

"You are too polite, Count Harlan. You are my brother and my ally. I should help you! By the way, we are having dinner now. Do you want to join us?"

"Of course, sorry to bother you. My troops will also be stationed in your Uxhall today."

"It's okay, please."

As the two of them were on their way back to the lord's hall for dinner, Earl Harlan also stated the purpose of his visit.

He said: "Do you know that there is an enemy kingdom to the north of our kingdom, called the Kingdom of Nord?"

"Um... I haven't heard much about it. Can you tell me about it briefly?"

"The Nord Kingdom is like this..." Count Harlan gave a rough description.

"Ohhh, I see, then?"

"Then, our king, Harlaus X, has given you and me a mission. Go to the Nordic Kingdom and provoke one of their lords, causing a conflict and eventually a war between the kingdoms."

When Count Harlan said this, the system also came online: You get a new task.

Together with Count Harun, go to the Nordic Kingdom in the north, provoke a lord and start a war, and defeat the opponent.

De La Ser thought for a moment and asked, "Does our king want to use this opportunity to occupy the territory of the Nord Kingdom? Anyway, we are now in a truce and peace stage with the Khergit Khanate, but our morale is high. At present, offense is the best defense!"

Count Harlan nodded and said, "I guess so. Anyway, let's complete the task together. I believe in your ability and we will be able to accomplish it."

"But if that happens, the Nordic Kingdom will point its spearhead at the two of us. If King Harlaus X doesn't support us in time, we may face a massive army attacking us."

"Well... De La Ser, don't worry too much. Let's discuss countermeasures tomorrow. What do you think?"

"Okay, let's eat and rest first. By the way, do you want to play a few games at my Yanluo Casino?"

"It sounds good." Count Harun agreed with a smile. He never imagined that the happier he was when he agreed, the more painfully he would cry later.

At

It seems that, that night, De La Serre made a fortune from Count Harlan through the casino...

System prompt: Congratulations on winning 5,000 dinars through the casino. You currently have a total of 15,000 dinars left.

The next morning, after breakfast, the two began to discuss seriously.

The experienced Earl Harlan spoke first, "I think you are worrying too much, De Lacel. The army will arrive only after the kingdom officially goes to war. Besides, we are only provoking one of the lords on the other side."

De La Ser nodded in approval and replied:

"You mean, even if someone retaliates against us, it's only this lord's army, right? That makes sense. Besides, our fiefdom is quite far away from the Nord Kingdom. Even if they want to attack our country, they can't reach our bases."

"That's right. If our fiefdom is really on the front line and the king assigns us this mission, we won't be able to do it with all our heart and soul. What do you think?"

Although Count Harlan's words sounded a bit strange and seemed to indicate that he was not that loyal, they were reasonable. After all, in most cases, people always considered their own interests first before considering others.

Moreover, the fact that Count Harun could say such words in front of him meant that he had a good relationship with him.

Then, De La Serre stopped being shy. He stood up, patted Count Harlan on the shoulder, and said with a smile:

"Well, in that case, Count Harlan, let's keep it the same as before. You will be the commander-in-chief and I will cooperate with you. The specific plans and orders will all be up to you."

"Well, I've already thought of the plan on my way to find you. Let's pick a weakling and bully him. I heard that there is a brave man named Arthur in the Nord Kingdom, so let's take action against him!"

Brave is an honorific title for the lord of the Nordic Kingdom. It is the same concept as the Earl of the Swadian Kingdom and the Nayan of the Khergit Khanate, and is a noble title.

So it can also be understood that this guy is called Arthur.

"No problem, Count Harlan, you go and command your troops first, and we will gather at the main gate of the town later, how about that?"

Count Harlan nodded slightly and replied, "Okay."

Wait for Harenbo

After the Duke walked away, De La Serre silently communicated with the system in his mind:

I said, system, can you introduce the Nord Kingdom to me again? I didn’t listen carefully when this bastard was talking to me yesterday. Now I have forgotten everything after waking up, hahaha.

System prompt: Can you be more careful? I am speechless, okay okay...

System prompt: The Nords live in the northern coastal areas of Calradia. Their symbolic animal is the raven and their leader is King Gnar. Their race yearns for close combat, so the infantry of this country is extremely powerful.

Introduction to Nord upgrade tree, a total of one category.

Nord Barbarian - Intermediate Barbarian - Advanced Barbarian - Bodyguard - Royal Bodyguard (Level 5)

Shit, there is only one upgrade route. However, it has level 5 soldiers, which is better than that stupid Khergit Khanate.

According to this situation, it seems that horses are very scarce in their Nordic Kingdom, De Lassel thought to himself.

So the system, isn't it just pure melee? Not even a ranged attack unit? This kingdom is a bit Muggle...

Comment: Did I give you face, but you still shamelessly continue to ask? You know too much, I have nothing to say, please continue playing the game.

After saying that, before De Lassel could respond, the system automatically went offline...

At this time, Ryan and Safiya had already gotten up and had breakfast. Xiaonan and Xiaoming had also been waiting outside the Lord's Hall for a long time.

"Okay, according to the old rules, leave four Swadian soldiers to guard the four gates of the house, and everyone else, set off! Xiaonan, you command the tavern mercenary knights, Xiaoming, you command the Swadian Iron Knights."

"Yes, sir! My honorable master!" Xiao Nan and Xiao Ming nodded respectfully, answered in unison, then immediately turned around and left, preparing to arrange the troops.

Watching them leave, Safiya felt that this arrangement was a little careless, so she asked, "Baron, will you command the remaining infantrymen yourself?"

"Well... they are all under your command. I hope these infantrymen can protect you. You are my most precious princess, Safiya~" De Lassel said affectionately.
