Ironwood City
A group of experts from the church were walking on the spacious streets of the city. Pedestrians were coming and going around them. Such a team of merchants from out of town was not impressive at all.
The tense atmosphere of two days ago has disappeared from the city, and various shops have resumed operations. It is not as prosperous as a big city like Piaoxue City, but it is prosperous enough. Although the city guards and militiamen suffered heavy casualties, the days are always Gotta get by.
“The people here are different from other places.”
Walking on the road, Mi Xiu sighed unconsciously when he saw the crowds coming and going,
After coming to the Northland, or rather to the Hunter family’s territory, he could clearly feel the difference,
The living standards of ordinary civilians are obviously higher than those in other places. The faces of the most ordinary farmers in the fields are also rosy. It can be seen that at least no one is hungry.
Furthermore, the rules of the Hunter family are also quite strict. On the territory of the Hunter family, there are no nobles who bully the common people. Nobles like the Nader family who took refuge in the Hunter family in the early days have been almost transformed. Now, the authority over the daily management of the territory has been transferred to the Hunter family. They only receive some annual income. The family’s nephew has also been sent to Ironwood City to study, so he still has the opportunity to dominate.
“Take the street on the right and go inside.”
Without giving Mi Xiu much time to think, the voice of God’s envoy Rand sounded in Mi Xiu’s consciousness again. After entering the city, Rand pointed out the exact location of the blasphemer for Mi Xiu like a precise navigation.
Following the guidance of the **** envoy Rand, Mi Xiu and others came to the house on the edge of the city. This place was so remote that there were not even many pedestrians around.
This is of course Richard’s arrangement. If it weren’t too obvious to arrange people outside Ironwood City, and it would be too ugly to let Aragorn go out of the city to live in the village, Richard would even want Aragorn to leave the city temporarily.
However, no matter what the reaction from the Rising Sun Cult was, Aragorn would definitely be the first to be dissatisfied, so Richard could only choose a slightly remote place,
I think if a battle breaks out, the damage to Ironwood City can be controlled to a smaller scale.
“Now, rush in! The blasphemer is inside, don’t let him escape!”
Mi Xiu: “…”
…
Inside the courtyard
Richard and Aragorn were sitting in the pavilion, seemingly leisurely, drinking.
It’s just that there are no ordinary people in this house. The tea in the cup is cold, and no one is boiling hot water. Only Richard and Aragorn are left holding the cup and staring at each other. Maybe to serve someone.
Hypatia, Aragorn’s tea-mixer, was currently wearing a leather armor and waiting outside the pavilion with a scimitar vigilantly, but she had no time to boil water for the two of them to make tea.
“Your Majesty, are you sure the people from the Rising Sun Cult will come here directly? I am not sure about Ironwood Castle.”
“Don’t worry, based on what I know about Rand, he won’t do anything else and will just come here directly? He has always been straightforward in his work.”
“Also, don’t think that I don’t know. Ironwood Fort is just an empty shell now. You don’t know where you have moved the people. There is nothing to worry about.”
“Hey.”
Richard didn’t feel embarrassed at all after being seen through. Even if Aragorn no longer lived in Ironwood Castle, Ironwood Castle was still a huge target. When facing the army, Ironwood Castle’s tall and thick walls, dense Arrow towers and various strange defense methods can naturally be used as the last fortress. Even when facing strong men of the earth level, this kind of well-defended fortress is quite useful.
But now Richard and Aragorn have to face at least enemies of the level of the Pseudo-Saint. The city walls and perfect fortifications that are more than ten or twenty meters have become a joke.
Ironwood Castle became a conspicuous target. Shortly after Aragon moved out, Richard persuaded his parents and other Hunter family members to quietly move out and live separately. Ironwood Castle was actually just An empty city.
“Boy, you take one step at a time and look at three steps. You are so good at everything. Aren’t you tired?”
“It’s better to be tired and be prepared.”
Not only the people in Ironwood Castle have been dispersed to live, but the entire mansion is now on high alert, waiting for people from the Rising Sun Cult to come.
The nine champion knights in the backyard are ready to go. The five phantom shooters have each hidden in the best shooting position. Tal and Hypatia Richard, who have just surrendered, will not let them idle. They are now fully armed. Standing on high alert around Richard and Aragorn,
In addition, there were two diamond men who sank directly into the pool next to the pavilion. They didn’t need to breathe anyway, and their sudden appearance could also serve as a surprise.
The archangel followed Richard closely, and he and Richard could reinforce each other at any time. If the giant and the red dragon were not too conspicuous, Richard would have wanted to put them in this very large mansion. The residence was waiting for people from the Rising Sun Sect to come to the door.
Richard has basically brought all the high-end combat power with him now. If the number of low-level soldiers and ordinary warriors is not large enough, participating in a battle of this level is basically giving away lives. If he really wants to attract a large army, he only needs to If the other party is not stupid, he will not move forward. If the other party is more shameless,
Richard would not be able to bear the loss if he saw the army blockade and simply turned to guerrilla warfare.
Now that he has made his decision, Richard has made all preparations to the extreme. The Ogre King Ring has not been used yet, and the angel necklace has also expired.
Except for Elena, who was fighting in the wilderness and did not come back, Richard has already gathered all the suitable high-end combat forces by his side.
If this is not his opponent, then he will have no choice but to run away with his people. Fighting to the death has never been one of Richard’s options.
“Your Majesty Aragorn, how can you be so sure that the other party will come directly to kill you?”
“Just wait…”
Aragorn looked mysterious and didn’t want to say more.
“Boom!”
Just when Richard was still preparing to talk, a violent noise came from the main entrance of the house.
The closed door was blown open, and dozens of elite members from the church group poured in.
Standing at the front was Mi Xiu, who had fought hard against Richard. The people around him looked like Hussein, and Richard looked very familiar. They were all involved in the coup in the royal capital. What a fierce man.
However, the church’s appearance still surprised Richard. Although Aragorn had repeatedly reminded that the church’s divine envoy would act very directly, he did not expect that the other party would be so direct, until Richard felt even a little arrogant. Feeling offended again.
But the other party’s next words surprised Richard even more.
“Your Majesty Aragon, long time no see.”
