Riding and Slashing

Chapter 91 Swordsmanship, deception

"Teacher? Amy, what do you want to learn?"

Li Ang was a little confused.

"Hmm...swordsmanship...father said you are a master swordsmanship."

Amy's big eyes were rolling around, her face was still a little red, and she didn't seem to want to learn some sword skills...

"You don't want to learn deception, do you..."

The lord saw through the little girl's thoughts at a glance.

"Ah... yes! I just want to learn how to cheat, will you teach me?"

Amy's face turned even redder, but she admitted it bluntly.

"That's no problem. School can start after the war, but the tuition here is not cheap..."

Of course Li Ang is willing to accept this apprentice... There are not many such talents who are smart and eye-catching, and also very talented in the technique of pulling wool.

Moreover, the lord will still be cutting leeks in the future, which also requires more suitable people to preside over it——Leslie is a qualified quartermaster and a good executor, but she is not a qualified capitalist.

After leaving Governor Levius in the prison of White Hart Castle, Li Ang took Governor Justus back to Maixiangling quickly.

Keeping one hostage on one side is more secure.

Lehman's Lion Knights were still cruising around the spacious gentle slope, and dozens of corpses had already been placed under the gentle slope. It seemed that Lehman was also quite busy this day.

"Master Li Ang, you succeeded?!"

Lehman was somewhat pleasantly surprised to see Li Ang come back with a full beard and beard.

"Come on, let me introduce you, this is Lord Governor Justus of the Bacchus Empire..."

Li Ang pointed to his hostage.

Justus opened his eyes and looked at Lehman: "You are Lehman, the Knight of the Wild Lion? I never expected that the deputy head of the famous Lion Knights would take orders from a small lord... I don't know what your king will do." think……"

Lehman looked at Justus, then shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly without speaking.

Li Ang frowned and warned: "My lord governor, I have never abused you, so stop sowing discord, otherwise I can't guarantee that you can go home in good health."

Justus stared at Li Ang: "You promised, let me go when the war is over!"

Li Ang raised his eyebrows: "Of course! My lord has always been as promised! But...Although I promised to let you go, I didn't say that I would let you go completely..."

Justus twitched his face and closed his mouth, making up his mind not to talk to Li Ang again.

"Leiman, can you stay here for a while? Before the war is over, we can't cut off the connection with White Hart Castle. I'm worried that Emperor Marius might not care too much about the governor's life..."

Li Ang planned to let Leman stay on guard for a while, and by the way, gave Governor Justus some eye drops.

"Of course, Lord Li Ang, White Hart Castle must not make mistakes, I will do my best."

Lehman readily agreed.

"You seem to be very concerned about White Hart Castle. Why? Is it because of the honor of the knight?"

Li Ang was suddenly a little curious. He felt that Lehman was really enthusiastic about rescuing White Hart Castle.

Lehman looked at Li Ang, a little surprised: "Lord Li Ang, aren't you doing business with Lord Godric? You don't even know... Lord Godric is my teacher, he can actually be regarded as the first member of the Lion Knights." A generation of sergeant major..."

"Oh?"

Li Ang really didn't know this happened.

But after thinking about the three lions crest on the lion squire's hood, it seems that it is almost identical to Godric's crest, except that the crest color is reversed, and the direction of the lion's head is also reversed...

The coat of arms of the lion squire is a golden lion on a red background, with the lion's head facing to the left; Godric's banner is a red and gold background, a black lion, and the lion's head facing to the right.

It feels like everything is going backwards...

The Lion Knights supported Alfred the Kleptocrat in establishing the Sarleon Kingdom 150 years ago, but in the year 298 of the Pendor calendar, they were suddenly declared illegal knights by King Ulrik's father, the previous king.

The reason is unknown, as all materials related to it were destroyed...

The first generation of lion riders disappeared for nearly 50 years.

Until nine years ago, in Pandex 346, King Ulrik rebuilt the Knights of the Lion—he rebuilt it on the basis of the royal guard, so the Knights of the Lion after reconstruction almost became King Ulrik’s personal guard.

More than 20 years ago, when Godric was still serving in the palace, he was the captain of the royal guard.

Almost all of his former subordinates, or their descendants, are now lion knights or lion squires—even Lehman himself once served as a squire for Godric.

Lehman followed Godric as a page boy when he was seven years old, until Godric was dispatched to the frontier more than 20 years ago, when Lehman was 12 years old.His youthful knowledge and martial arts were actually taught by Godric.

This is the tradition of knights. The descendants of knights often serve as retinues to higher-ranking knights or other nobles. They usually start as servants. This is also a normal way to learn to grow or pursue a higher status.

Therefore, Godric can indeed be regarded as the first sergeant major of the Lion Knights.

It's just that he probably won't admit it to himself...

After all, after being sent to the frontier, he changed all his coats of arms to the opposite - which was obviously an expression of dissatisfaction.

Although the former Lion Knights supported the thieves to become kings, they have always been a group with a high degree of chivalry among the people. In fact, from the perspective of civilians, the original decision of the Lion Knights actually stabilized the chaotic country quickly. .

But now the rebuilt Lion Knights have completely become thugs of the king and high-ranking nobles, and have never helped civilians and business travelers...

Li Ang could naturally understand Godric's thoughts because of this - judging from the baron's behavior back then, he was obviously a loyal and loyal man, and he and King Ulrik probably had ideological differences.

No wonder Godric has always been just a baron...

Lehman did not hide the history of the Lion Knights. In fact, he was very proud of his identity as a Royal Knights, and he had great respect for Baron Godric who had taught him.

"Master Leon, you may not know that many lion knights have thoughts about Miss Amy... Most of their parents are old subordinates of Lord Godric..."

The topic between men is always like this, and the conversation is biased towards women...

……

Two days later.

The beacon of Mai Xiangling has been rekindled.

Sarah has also returned to Maixiangling, and with her are hundreds of rangers led by Ralph.

This is only the vanguard with the most mobility, and Ralph is still very interesting, marching in a hurry all the way.

Behind them were more Long River Sentinels, led by Sergeant Sergeant Lord Hereward, on their way.

Hereward is not Earl Alden's subordinate, and his fief is actually far away in the northwest of the kingdom, Mismog Castle.

But he was born as a Sentinel in Changhe Town, and also belonged to the Horn Call Ranger Group.

Moreover, he is still the leader of the sentinels in Changhe Town. When the war ended, he sent the sentries back to the station in Changhe Town. He happened to meet the messenger sent by Lehman to ask for help.

So Baron Hereward came with a sentry—he was Godric's cousin, and he would naturally come to the rescue when something happened at White Hart Castle.

Although separated from the two ends of the kingdom and unable to communicate with each other all year round, Hereward obviously still cares about his brothers.

It's really interesting to call the ranger group by the horn. Their knight commander is a commoner, but the sergeant commander is a nobleman, a high-ranking nobleman...

However, Ralph is no longer considered a commoner—Oden has promoted Ralph to the rank of knight, and opened a back door for him before leaving the House of Nobles, and demarcated the large area of ​​no-man's land north of the border camp. For Ralph's knight collar.

Coupled with the fact that Earl Auden himself is the governor of the county, maybe Ralph may be granted the title of baron by Auden because of his "outstanding contribution to the expansion of territory".

This is obviously Auden building greater power for himself, but the means are obviously much more just than Alma's.

Ralph rebuilt the bridge, and a large number of rangers were now stationed in the camp. He planned to build another castle on the border before the Autumn Jatus went south.

With the arrival of the Rangers, the probability of the Bacchus Empire continuing to attack White Hart Castle is slim.

Ralph took the rangers to visit White Hart Castle, cleaned up the surrounding scouts, and replaced the Lion Knights who had persisted in the wild for several days, and the Lion Knights simply entered He stationed at White Hart Castle to rest.

Rangers are the best at dealing with scouts.

After discovering the arrival of the ranger group summoned by the horn, the troops of the Bacchus Empire continued to retreat to the south for dozens of miles, and the war had actually come to an end.

But at the same time that Baron Hereward led the Changhe sentries to Maixiangling, a subordinate brought a shocking news...
