Rise of the Lord of Mount and Blade

Ten days passed, on the country road led by Holt.

A team of ten people walked slowly along the country road. The messy footprints of horseshoes were like a long snake and crookedly printed on the white snow. In this white world, their entire group It looks particularly eye-catching.

Because they have entered the Holt collar, the Richard entire group is not in a hurry. They slowly headed towards Howth City, and scattered village houses can be seen in the surrounding area. There are plumes of cooking smoke.

Looking at this familiar scene, Richard was in a daze. With the reins of the war horse in his hand, he looked at the direction of Howth City. When he saw these farm houses, he could prove that he was far away from Howth. The city is already not far anymore.

Richard’s heart is a little excited. In other words, his heart beats more violently because of his excitement. Although he hasn’t seen the outline of the city wall, he can already imagine what his family looks like—he The big brother’s family, the younger sister, and the kind mother.

At this moment, a group of fast-moving black spots suddenly appeared in front of them. Richard squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the group of black spots. It turned out to be a group of cavalry.

“Why are there cavalry outside now?”

Richard was muttered with some doubts. He knew very well his own habits. Once the winter entered, unless it was a major event, Otherwise, there will not be any military operations, let alone let the organized cavalry move outside.

The soldiers behind him also spotted the cavalry that was running towards this side. They put their hands on the hilt of their waists and were ready to be able to pull them out at any time, because they were marching in a hurry. Because they didn’t carry inconvenient lances and lances, they could only use the Knight sword to fight.

As the cavalry continued to approach, Richard also saw the coat of arms printed on the robes of the cavalry. There were red and white grids on it, and a castle with a gate was printed in the middle. At a glance, he recognized the familiar coat of arms, which was clearly his own cavalry.

When he saw it was his own, Richard also raised his hand to relax the soldiers behind him. He flicked the rein and drove the horse forward a few steps, and the cavalry was just a few steps ahead of him. The ten-meter position stopped and looked at them suspiciously.

The cavalry only watched for a few seconds, and the leader recognized Richard. He cried out in surprise: “Richard Young Master? Why are you back?”

” There are some things to deal with, come back.” Richard smiled and replied, and then asked: “Cook, what happened? Why are you here?”

“This…” is called Cook The middle-aged Knight hesitated for a while before replied: “Richard Young Master, a hunter reported to Lord Earl that a group of robbers were found at the junction with the Ewal Territory, Lord Earl sent us to check it out.”

“There are robbers?” Richard brows slightly wrinkle, and said: “We came from there, but we didn’t meet the robbers you mentioned.”

Cook was shrugged and said:” Maybe you missed it, Richard Young Master. If you want to see the Lord Earl, he is not in Howth City. He is with the old man at Gabbey Manor. You can go there directly.”

“Okay. “Richard nodded at him, saying that he knew it, and Cook continued when he saw it, “Then we’ll go first, Richard Young Master, and see you when I come back.”

Richard nodded, and then went on. Watching Cook’s entire group ride past his team and ran along the path they came, Richard was silent for a few seconds and said: “Let’s go, let’s go to Gabbey Manor.”

At the end of the conversation, the entire group changed its direction again and continued on its way.

……

Gabbey Manor is the private property of Earl Holt, and it is also the place where the earls lived for the longest time. Compared with the harsh environment of the city and the occlusion Dimly like a prison-like castle, the earls prefer to live in the manor. If according to Richard’s previous life, the manor is the size of two football fields and is protected by a low stone wall. Inside the wall is the place where the nobles live, and outside the wall is the earl’s land, and there are no free serfs. And slaves are restricted to work in the fields, and some bankrupt and desperate civilians will come to work here.

The manor is not alone. There is a castle not far from the manor. Richard grew up in that castle, so many of his memories are lost in the dark inside of the castle. Occupy, the other part is to live in the manor outside with father.

As for the castle inside the city…Perhaps because of Old Earl’s personal habits, Richard seldom saw him live there, it was almost half-idle, and after the death of Old Earl, His successor, Basario Vareen, was also deeply influenced by him. At least during the two years when Richard was still here, the number of times he went to live in the city of Naiburg can be counted with two hands.

All of this has nothing to do with Richard. At this time, he has reached the gate of Gabe Manor. Looking at all the familiar things, he has a kind of things have remained the same, but people have changed feeling.

After showing his identity to the manor guards, although he was not put in immediately, it looked like the new guards quickly reported to the Earl Holt in the manor and asked Richard to wait. After a few minutes, the door was slowly opened, and a familiar but a little strange silhouette appeared in front of Richard.

The visitor is dressed in a black robe studded with gold silk patterns, and his hair is completely wrapped in a dark headscarf. The length of the headscarf can even wrap his neck twice and use it as a scarf. His appearance is somewhat similar to Richard, but he is much more mature and stable than Richard, and he has a mustache on his lips.

“Richard, are you back?” Basario recognized Richard who had not changed much at a glance. He asked in a pleasant tone. Richard smiled and agreed, before turning over and dismounting. , Walked a few steps and took the initiative to give a big hug with his big brother.

After the hug, Basilio let go of Richard and observed his younger brother up close. He couldn’t help but sigh with emotion: “Richard, I haven’t seen you for a few months, you are so mature.”

p>

“Stay away from my family and take root in a remote border. If I am immature, you may not see me.” Richard said with a smile, what he said is also true, and only he who owns the system can break through Today this step, if you want to be someone else, I’m afraid it will fall on the first test of the horse bandit.

Basario laughed dryly and looked over Richard looked towards the nine men he brought, mainly on the six cavalrymen, although the six cavalrymen were all wrapped in a heavy piece of protection against the cold The robe concealed most of the armor on his body, but he could still keenly see that the six cavalrymen must not be the simple ones—there are certainly not a few who died in their hands.
