Chapter 131

The strength of Bear tribe warriors is actually very strong.

Purely in terms of strength, third-rank knights are not necessarily better than them.

After all, their own weight is nearly a thousand catties.

After putting on heavy armor and holding a heavy shield, they don't need any other weapons at all.

Just smash into the opposite team, and just rolling a few times can crush a large group of people.

However, the dwarves still designed a kind of fist cover for them, which allows them to hold heavy shields with both hands when charging, and when attacking, they can clench their fists and dare to fight against other people's knives and guns!

After continuous integration, the Winged tribe also expanded the number of air force warriors of the Winged tribe to two thousand.

In this way, the number of warriors of these few tribes alone reached seventy-nine thousand!

As for the other tribes that were slightly weaker, their warriors were disbanded.

For example, the Elk tribe.

Fox-girl Sister Qing Ling found that rather than letting them fight, it was better to let them reclaim land and plant crops!

In addition, the Wolf tribe reorganized fifty thousand wolf-man warriors.

Wolf-men, regardless of gender, are excellent warriors. They are very fast, and their individual combat power is equivalent to the centaurs of the past, weaker than the Lion tribe.

Their mobility on the battlefield is exceptionally large.

And the Snake tribe also gathered fifty thousand snake tribe warriors.

The number of warriors of these two tribes reached one hundred thousand.

However, compared to other warriors, they joined the latest and don't have very good equipment yet. The combat power that these one hundred thousand people of the two tribes can exert is not even half of the previous tribes!

But the quantity is here, and it is only a matter of time before the equipment is supplemented.

That is to say, the Kingdom of Flames now has an army of nearly one hundred and eighty thousand!

(Regarding the range of bows and arrows: medieval longbows can reach over 160 meters, modern longbows using light arrows reach 300 meters, and enchanted bows reaching 500 meters is not difficult!)

"Sir Hawk, it's not good, a large number of troops have surrounded our territory and won't let our caravans out, and although the caravans of other nobles have been released, they can't come in anymore!"

In Sir Hawk's castle, a servant ran to report.

As a viscount, Sir Hawk's status in the Duke Duke Xiling Kingdom is not low.

And Sir Hawk only has one daughter, and because this daughter eloped with the Winged tribe leader, it was widely spread in the Duke Duke Xiling Kingdom at the time, otherwise Teacher Teacher Masha wouldn't have heard of him.

His territory is not small, with tens of thousands of acres of land, which is a roughly rectangular territory about ten kilometers long and about 4 kilometers wide, and one side of the territory happens to be next to the Misty Mountains.

He is now over sixty years old, and because he participated in the war against other kingdoms organized by the church when he was young, he has already lost his ability in that regard.

So Sir Hawk's only descendant now, and in the future, is actually only this granddaughter, the winged girl Mia.

Sir Hawk also intended to leave the territory to Mia after his death, and he also followed Mia's suggestions more. In fact, under Mia's persuasion, he and the people in his territory have become the first batch of believers of the Lord of Flames in the Duke Duke Xiling Kingdom!

There are two or three thousand people living in his territory.

Sir Hawk also possesses a private army of 500 people, and if Sir Hawk is willing, he can also expand his private army to about two thousand people.

But compared to an old-school noble like the Slo family, there is no comparison at all.

At this moment, three thousand well-equipped, fully armed warriors have surrounded Sir Hawk's territory.

The main roads have been blocked by heavy troops, and these people only let the caravans of other nobles out, but there is no way for them to get in.

As for Sir Hawk's caravan, it was directly blocked inside.

The people in Sir Hawk's territory can enter and exit freely, but they also have to be searched to avoid carrying magic bags!

"Blocked? Who did it? Assemble the army and come out with me!"

Sir Hawk is not a sick cat.

He immediately assembled his private army of 500 people and rushed to the gate outside the largest road in the territory.

This road is also the road Sir Hawk's caravan can enter and exit.

At this time, outside this road, more than two thousand warriors are ready to go. These warriors are wearing uniform clothes, all of them are in armor, and they have knife and shield soldiers, spear soldiers, and archer soldiers. Although there are not many of them, the arms are quite complete.

Sir Hawk even saw mages inside.

There is no doubt that this is an elite force.

And not a miscellaneous army.

Ordinary nobles cannot equip such an elite force comparable to the royal army.

Then, Sir Hawk saw the uniform pattern on the collars of those warriors.

"People of Count Slo!"

Sir Hawk's face sank.

Whether it is power or strength, he is far from being able to compare with Count Slo.

Count Slo is the big BOSS of the eastern region.

A big shot!

Even the royal family is extremely wary of the Slo family!

Even so, Sir Hawk was still not afraid. He stepped forward and asked:

"Who is in charge?"

"I am the administrative officer under Count Slo. Sir Hawk, the origin of your divine beans is unknown, and you are not allowed to continue selling them in the eastern cities!"

A person from the Slo family said.

This guy is wearing a blue robe and is a blue-robed administrative officer of the Slo family, and his position is not low.

"Unknown origin? Since when do goods need to be checked for their origin? As a viscount of the kingdom, would I go stealing and robbing?"

Sir Hawk hummed lightly.

The blue-robed administrative officer said: "Sir Hawk, of course you wouldn't go stealing and robbing, but Sir Hawk, you are selling these divine beans of unknown origin at an extremely low price, which is suspected of unfair competition. No crop would reach this price, yet you are selling them at such a low price."

Sir Hawk's temper flared up on the spot, and he looked at the blue-robed administrative officer and said:

"So, does Count Slo have the law enforcement power in the eastern cities? Who gave him the right!"

Facing Sir Hawk's angry questioning, the blue-robed administrative officer calmly took out a document, handed it to Sir Hawk's eyes, and then said:

"It's the church!"

"The church!"

Sir Hawk's eyes shrank. He took out the document and saw that it was signed by the bishop of the eastern diocese.

The gist was as follows: In order to ensure the stability of grain prices in the eastern diocese, Count Slo is granted temporary law enforcement power regarding agricultural crops, and this law enforcement power will only last for one month!

The church does not often interfere in government affairs, as that would conflict with royal power.

But regarding grain and agricultural crops related to people's livelihood, the church has this right because the church must ensure social stability. Grain is the most critical thing; if people can't even eat their fill, chaos is not far away!

A country full of chaos cannot contribute much faith.

Sir Hawk noticed the date the document was signed, which was yesterday!

A sense of alertness immediately appeared in Sir Hawk's heart!

This was aimed at him!

Or rather, it was aimed at the potatoes!

Even further, it was aimed at the orc kingdom east of the mist!

For documents like this, in order to avoid conflict with royal power, the church wouldn't sign one in ten years.

But now, it has appeared!

"It really came! Mia's prediction was really accurate!"

The reason Sir Hawk was able to react so quickly was first because he was not stupid, and second because Mia had mentioned it to him, making him alert in this regard!

"Hmph, you are clearly afraid that divine beans will threaten your grain business. I will write to the King to complain about your behavior!"

After reading the document, Sir Hawk threw down such a sentence angrily and returned to his castle with his 500 private soldiers.

"Lord Oliver, is the old master's move very clever?"

Behind the Slo family's warriors, the old butler said to the magus Oliver.

Oliver nodded and said: "Aunt is indeed very powerful. Bishop Bowman wanted to use us as a knife, and Aunt dragged Bishop Bowman into the water too!"

The old butler chuckled and said: "Not only that, to deal with these old-school nobles, you have to use such means, both soft and hard. Look, this old Hawk is still being played in the palm of his hand. The Duke Duke Xiling Kingdom is very large, and the old master's territory is also very large. Lord Oliver, although the old master has several sons, the old master actually intends to leave the inheritance to you..."

Hearing the old butler's words, Oliver's breathing became a little heavier.

Even though he is a sixth-rank magus, facing the Slo family's astonishing wealth and huge power, he couldn't help but be moved.

"I will sit here and see what moves the other side will make."
