Giant insect world raises flying chickens

Chapter 31
Huck gradually settled down in Strawberry City. Apart from cooking and studying every day, he enjoyed banquets and afternoon tea with a group of noble men and women.

This pleasant time didn't last long. Perhaps it was because Huck was really the lone star of the gods. Earl Longen ran too fast when he was fighting. He rushed into other people's battles and killed him. up.

This is about the rights and duties of the nobility.

Residents in the city will provide food and manpower for the Longen family.

Including quarrying, handling dung, ditches, garbage, and serving in mills and castles.

Even if someone died in the castle, the nobles did not need to pay any compensation, and the lord nobles had the right to dispose of the people in their territory.

From men, women and children, to livestock, trees, flowers, grass and food, even stones and dead animals in the ground belong to the lord.

There is only one thing the nobles need to do, and that is to fight.

Earl Longen has many titles on his head, and he is also the heir and nominal manager of several nearby cities.

Although he only manages Strawberry City, the governors of other cities also welcome him to be a lord.

It's not just polite words, but I really want to find a dragon blood lord to be the boss.

The essence of the Dragon Country is that each city is a relatively independent administrative area.

Earl Longen obtained the legal inheritance rights of the remaining cities by relying on his lower body, but others also have this ability.

In the Kingdom of Dragons, especially the dragon blood warriors are in good physical condition, and this world generally respects the strong and blood, so the dragon blood warriors can easily marry the daughters of nobles who have the right to inherit.

The same is true for each city, basically there is no army, and they all rely on the lord's servants, knights, and mercenaries in the city to solve some problems.

The number of knights is very small, because it costs a lot to support a knight, and the nobles generally like to enjoy themselves, so they can't spend much money to support armies that are only useful for a few times.

When fighting, the lord does not take the lead to charge forward, so those mercenaries and their knights and serfs will not charge forward with stupid brains.

The duty of the knight is to protect the master!

Where the master is, the knight should be there.

In other words, if a lord mainly stands behind by himself and lets his knights charge forward when fighting, the knights under him must have complaints.

The mercenaries don't even have any morals and loyalty to speak of. It's true that they sacrifice their lives for money, but it doesn't mean that they know they are dead and send them away.

Running away with money is the normal practice of most mercenaries, so supervision is needed at this time.

When fighting, whether the lord rushes or not will affect the combat effectiveness of the troops.

If the lord doesn't take the lead, the fool will work for you.

The lord who has been staying in the castle all the time, and the lord who dares to go to the front to fight together, are two different kinds of fighting power.

Classical wars required charges to boost morale, or miracles from heaven, such as giant dragons fighting, or temple priests and mages releasing magic to help out.

The Longgen family has no other fancy things, so they can only rush by themselves.

If you want to sit firmly on your butt, you have to exert influence on your army.

Moreover, the lord and his knights are the best equipped, best trained, and strongest group of people in the nearby area.

These people refused to rush forward, and the rest of the serfs who received money or were forced to come here also paddled to protect themselves when fighting.

The wall falls and everyone pushes, the tree falls and the monkeys scatter. If you want to play an advantageous game, the lord or his elite troops must take the lead to play the advantage.

Huck has no feelings for Earl Longen, it's just weird.

"Isn't Strawberry City very safe? Why are there such strong villains?"

Mary showed a look of emotion, "It was just to eliminate some rebellious robbers, but I didn't expect to disturb the ground thorns hiding in the grass when I eliminated those robbers."

"The earl was bitten and killed by a group of bugs because he was too far away from the army. The knights and mercenaries also suffered great casualties. Only a few mercenaries and knights ran back."

"Don't worry, Bai Xi, Nick, and Matt are dealing with these things now."

Mary was not worried. She was a noble from another city, and the Longen family still had three dragon blood warriors. Even if the Earl died in battle, it would not affect the Longen family's rule of this area.

Huck said obediently: "That's it, that's great!"

Mary continued to take Huck to enjoy the leisurely afternoon tea. The servants still brought fresh fruits from the manor, and the kitchen also made exquisite desserts.

Huck didn't believe Mary's words. He confirmed that there was no problem from the behavior of the people around him and the movements outside the city he observed when he was cooking at the watchtower every day.

Whether it is mercenaries, local serfs and free men, or even nobles and merchants, they all need a lord to rule.

Therefore, the Longgen family is a reasonable and legal ruler, and has been supported by everyone from top to bottom.

Including the farmers who struggled to plan food in the land, and the serfs who were taken by the Longen family to fight against the bugs to recover the old lord's body.

In Nodessas, although mercenaries and robbers can buy titles by paying protection fees, it takes several generations of hard work to become a true nobleman.

Similar to the pirates in the Age of Discovery, the pirates all wanted to buy a title when they got rich.

It's different here in Dragon Kingdom, bloodline determines everything.

Huck soon thought of another thing. Since there were bugs that could kill the Earl in this place, would it be dangerous here too?
Obedient... Am I really the lone star of the devil, the blue face and the disaster?
No, be patient!

Huck quickly and seized the time to study the recipes, and ate seriously with the chick. If he escapes again this time, he must be more energetic!

***
In the chamber of the castle, several powerful nobles and knights gathered together.

Nick said: "The bugs that came here this time are bugs that escaped from Flame City. The bugs in Flame City have been wiped out by Joan, the eldest princess of Nodessas. The bugs lost their command and collapsed to our place."

Bai Xi listened to the reports of the others, and said, "The ground thorns are not difficult to deal with, just leave these matters to the mercenaries."

"I have no problem," Matt said.

The problem of bugs is easy to solve. The ground thorn is a kind of bug that looks similar to grass, and its concealment ability is very strong.

Once something enters the grass, the originally soft grass of the ground thorn insect will turn into a sharp blade like a meat grinder, turning the creatures on its body into pieces.

The mercenaries are very good at dealing with these bugs and monsters, the private soldiers and knights of the nobles, and mainly deal with humanoid creatures.

After handing over the problem of bugs to the mercenaries, the three dragon blood nobles began to discuss the distribution of property.
