Rise of the Lord of Mount and Blade

(When I published it, I noticed that the chapter name of the previous chapter was wrong, but I couldn’t modify it. It’s a shame)

Ten days later.

Because Khalid’s process of learning the local language was not smooth, and now he can only say a few simple vocabulary, so Richard gave up his plan to direct and suppress the bandits, and instead Let the new courtier Cook Vader take the command.

Cook Wade is the Knight Richard met halfway when he returned to Holt. His identity in the family is a Knight without Fiefdom, although there is no Fiefdom, but this does not mean that his ability is not good, on the contrary, his ability is also considered outstanding, Richard’s brother often rely on him after he succeeded.

And after learning that Richard needed courtiers, Basilio ordered Cook to report to Richard with a few young guards without the slightest hesitation. Some of those guards belonged to Cook. Some were given to Richard by Basilio. At the Gabe Manor, Basilio once said that he would give Richard several subordinates to take care of his life, but later Richard did not return to the manor and had no chance. Given, just take this opportunity to fulfill the promise.

In addition, in addition to Cook, there will be members of the collateral family coming to join Richard’s court in the future. Richard has no hope for this, because he is very clear about the relatives of Chu Clan’s collateral Level…Most of them are mediocre, and the eldest sons who have inheritance rights are the ones who can make people’s eyes shine.

Cook’s abilities are obvious to both Richard and Basilio. As early as when they were still a teenager, Cook had performed superiorly in the war against Trokia Kingdom, and he had repeatedly followed Old Earl to make achievements. After the war, he was conferred by the Old Earl as Knight in the inner palace, and has been loyal to the family until now.

Such a groom’s son has been loyal to the Vareen family for most of his life. How can Richard bear to let him continue to be Knight without Fiefdom, so he decided to let Cook take this opportunity to make a contribution , It is logical to call him the field Knight with Fiefdom.

……

In the morning, Richard called the troops stationed in the Naiburg. The soldiers who followed him basically mastered Touraine, even if they didn’t master all of them, they could For simple communication, there will be no language barriers with Cook.

Considering that although the robbers were defeated by Bailey’s army, they also received certain training and equipped with a lot of armor. The battle strength is stronger than ordinary robbers. Richard also More soldiers were sent over.

When he saw the horse-cutting troops gathered by Richard, the expression on Cook’s face was very subtle. He originally thought that the soldiers under Richard were all militia conscripts with crooked melons. He didn’t report too much confidence in the next bandit suppression mission, but now it seems that he still underestimated Richard. He didn’t expect his Second Young Master to gain the allegiance of so many elite soldiers.

He is even more surprised by those foreign soldiers who wear obvious exotic styles and looks, like Orientals with strange hairstyles, or desert people with dark complexions, or with Barbarian, with a big beard and big and thick, they also used weird Touraine when they communicated with each other. What made him even more shocked was that there were more than 20 women in the team…

Standing in front of these soldiers with Richard, Cook felt his head a bit big when he listened to their conversation. If he didn’t listen carefully, he wouldn’t understand them at the same rate of speech, and he didn’t know how Richard interacted with them. They talk fluently.

“This is Cook Vader Knight. He will command you to destroy the bandit gangs that are active around Mein City.” Richard said loudly to the soldiers, and as his voice fell, the soldiers They calmed down, their eyes gathered on Cook, and they looked at the new Knight.

Richard continued after they were quiet: “Captain of each squad will go out and report to Cook Vader Knight.”

After that, Culiot and Siga , Suolegun, Chahan, and Rakem were all out and reported their names and command functions to Cook in an orderly manner. When Siga and Suolegun were reporting, Cook’s face was obviously puzzled. Look, after they all reported, Richard explained to him in time.

“In my team, as long as there is enough ability, even a woman can be a Captain.”

Cook scratched his head and reminded in a low voice: “Lord, If you are known by other nobles, you may be laughed at by them.”

“You don’t have to worry about this. Don’t despise them just because they are women. Siga and her medical team will Needless to say, that oriental woman named Suolegun grew up in the arena, and countless people died in her hands. In the end, she redeemed herself with the bonuses she had accumulated after winning—just use Well, she is fully responsible for the title of her she-wolf.”

Listening to Richard’s account, Cook’s look towards Suolegun has changed a little, and he is also aware of the dangers in the arena. Yes, Touraine Kingdom also has this thing in the arena. To be able to grow up in that environment and come out alive, her battle strength must not be overlooked.

Thinking of this, Cook has some admiration for Suolegun. People admire Powerhouse, and he is no exception, even if the other party is just a woman. Richard also saw Cook’s emotional change. He faintly smiled, and then said: “The members of Culiot’s scouting squad are all archers from the East. They have lived on horseback since they were born. He is a skilled rider.”

As he said, Cook also followed and looked towards the dozen or so cavalry soldiers who were incompatible with their surroundings in appearance and armor, and found that they all exuded a sturdy aura. The strong bow gives him a feeling that he can take the bow and shoot at any time.

Cook gave a dry cough and said sincerely: “Lord, your soldiers are really elite, almost comparable to the veterans of the wars that the old man commanded.”

“Is it just comparable?” Richard asked with a smile, “I think my soldiers are better.”

“No, if only compared with the armies of the surrounding lords, your soldiers It is indeed incomparable.” Cook shook his head and said: “However, the soldiers under the old Sir Alex have experienced the hellish Trokia battlefield. Soldiers who can survive that bloody killing are not simple, in my opinion. , Your soldiers still lack the influence of several battles.”

Richard was silent for a moment. Cook said in this remark that makes sense. Except for some of these soldiers, they have participated in the fight against Bailey with him. Except for the people in the several battles of the kingdom, they were basically promoted by the bandits in the riding and slashing world. Although the soldiers upgraded by the bandits are of the same level, they have not participated in the bloody battle personally, and their combat experience will be better than that. Those who have participated are weak.

He remembered the soldiers brought back from the world of hacking and cutting this time. If you think about it carefully, the soldiers who followed him in the first place are indeed very different in temperament from the soldiers who were later upgraded by the bandits. Maybe this It’s the difference whether you have participated in the war.
