Heroes of Might and Magic: Knight Chapter 34: A show of force

“Duo, Duo, Duo”

Viscount Sauter was sitting in the meeting hall and tapping his fingertips on the table impatiently. His time had expired and the Nader family had not arrived yet.

Viscount Sauter was no longer interested in talking, and the other three barons also remained silent in the hall. Of course, they were more or less laughing in their hearts. After all, no one wanted to suddenly have a big head on their head. A leader.

Of course, they didn’t dare to show their thoughts on their faces. They were all sitting on round chairs with sullen faces. Only Richard was leaning on the table in the whole hall, looking leisurely and contented.

Richard naturally has his own confidence. Ron led ten crusaders to guard outside the hall. With the strength of more than ten knights, no matter what iron backbone the Nader family has, Richard will still suppress him. Go down, if the Nader family doesn’t understand this time, Richard doesn’t mind killing the monkey and the chicken.

“Report, Viscount Nader has led people into the city.”

A full hour later than the agreed time, Viscount Sauter hesitated while sitting in the main seat.

It stands to reason that he should go out to greet him, but since the Nader family knew they were about to be slapped in the face, he couldn’t just send him there to be beaten.

Looking at the hesitant Viscount Sauter, Richard stood up generously and said:

“Let’s go, father, we should go out to greet the Nader family, lest others think that our Hunter family lacks etiquette.”

Viscount Sauter thought for a while, then stood up and walked out the door. Although he had some concerns of his own, out of his almost blind trust in Richard, he still followed Richard’s wishes and prepared to greet Nader. Viscount.

Richard followed closely behind Viscount Sauter. The three remaining barons in the hall looked at each other and seemed to reach a consensus and followed them out.

Shortly after leaving the house, several people saw Viscount Nader leading a group of more than a dozen people towards the meeting hall.

Naturally, Viscount Nader also saw them and a dozen soldiers in full plate armor around the hall door. They seemed to be quite elite, but Viscount Nader didn’t take them too seriously.

Seeing Viscount Sauter in the crowd, he walked up to say hello with a smile on his face, as if he was not the late one.

Compared with Viscount Nader, who is experienced in such situations, Viscount Sauter is not very adaptable to this kind of situation. If you ask Viscount Sauter to slash people with a sword, he is a good hand,

But now facing the smiling Viscount Nader, Viscount Sauter had a sullen face and could not smile, showing a funny expression.

On the other hand, Richard on the side greeted Viscount Nader with a natural expression.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I didn’t calculate the time well due to the long journey, so I came a few steps late. I’m so ashamed.”

When Viscount Nader said this, he naturally didn’t feel any shame, but he felt a bit proud.

Everyone naturally knows the reason why Viscount Nader arrived late. The two territories are not far apart, and it won’t take long to arrive quickly. Anyone who believes what he says is stupid.

“Does Viscount Nader know that there are so many military orders? If you don’t take our Hunter family seriously, don’t you follow the orders of Piaoxue City?”

As soon as Richard finished speaking, the scene that had been lively just now suddenly became quiet.

Viscount Nader’s smile also froze, and he did not refute for a moment. No matter what they thought in their hearts, the nobles of the North really did not dare to openly disobey Piaoxue City’s orders.

It was another knight from the Nader family who started shouting

“Our Nader family is also a member of the Kingdom and has never been affiliated with Piaoxue City. Don’t scare us with Piaoxue City.”

This is not wrong. Legally speaking, the title of the Nader family is obtained by their ancestors who fought for the kingdom and has no affiliation with the Lanster family of Piaoxue City.

But as long as you hang around in the Northland, you have to be wary of Piaoxue City. Piaoxuecheng told you to discuss something, do you really dare to treat him as a discussion? The Northland has always been a place where fists are more important than reason.

Viscount Nader frowned upon hearing this,

He didn’t want to openly disobey Piaoxue City’s instructions, otherwise he wouldn’t have brought anyone here today, but Richard’s fearless attitude made him a little angry,

I really thought that with a tiger skin from Piaoxue City, I could ride on the head of the Nader family and **** and pee. If I really want to directly become a vassal of the Hunter family, it would be better to directly disobey Piaoxue City’s instructions and Piaoxue City. At most, Xuecheng could only give him some shoes to wear, and it was impossible to send troops to destroy the Nader family.

“Why, do you really want to disobey military orders?”

Richard asked again in a deep voice, and the atmosphere at the scene became increasingly tense, with many people even putting their hands on their swords,

In the face of Richard’s aggressiveness, the Nader family seemed to be planning to break up the relationship. Even the three barons who initially had the mentality of watching a joke became a little worried.

After all, if the Nader family and the Hunter family were to fight at this time, it would be more harmful than good to them, and they would have to rely on these two families to deal with the possible incoming ogres.

“锵”

Finally, the third son of the Nader family, the second knight of the Nader family, pulled out the heavy sword from his waist, and fighting spirit burst out from his body instantly.

“Third brother, calm down.”

As Viscount Nader said, he went up and held down the opponent’s sword-drawing hand to stop him.

Of course, even if Viscount Nader didn’t stop him, he didn’t dare to make any next move. Everyone in the audience stared at the ten armored guards who were still conspicuous with their eyes wide open as if they had seen a ghost.

Under the leadership of Ron, they all glowed with fighting spirit. The swords in their hands were all held in attack postures, and they stared at everyone present with extremely oppressive eyes.

And Richard stood directly in front of them, staring at the Nader family with a half-smile but not a smile, which meant, now I want to see what tricks the Nader family can play.

The three barons had lowered their heads silently. They didn’t think much about it, and they didn’t dare to make any small moves in front of the Hunter family this time.

But everyone in the Nader family seemed very embarrassed at this time. Although their palms were pressed on the hilt of the sword, no one dared to pull out the sword. Even the third child, who had already pulled out the sword, looked a bit resentful at this time. ,

He doesn’t need Viscount Nader to hold him down now. What he is thinking about now is how to take back the sword decently. After all, he is just reckless but not stupid, but he is still afraid of death.

Now the Hunter family has displayed knight-level combat power of thirteen people. This kind of strength can be surpassed by no one in the North except Piaoxue City.

“Put away the swords, put them away, what are you saying?”

The first person to speak out in the awkward confrontation was Viscount Nader. The Nader family seemed to have found a step and put down the swords on their waists. The third child of the Nader family also took advantage of the situation and put the sword back on his waist. between.

“These guys are ignorant and hope that the commander-in-chief will include them. Although there is a reason for being late this time, it is a military meeting after all. Regardless of any punishment from the commander-in-chief, my Nader family will have no complaints.”

The direct address of the commander in his speech clearly indicated that he recognized the position of the leader of the Hunter family.

The speed at which Viscount Nader changes his face is absolutely amazing, and he is also a flexible and flexible person.

The other party in the conversation, Lord Viscount Sauter, has actually not recovered from the shock just now. To say who was the most surprised just now, it is definitely not the Nader family and several other lords, it is definitely Richard’s cheap father, Lord Viscount Sauter.

For a while, you have been eating, drinking and having fun without caring about the territory, and now you have ten more knight-level retainers in your family? This thing is almost like a dream.

Even when Viscount Nader spoke to him, he just nodded a few times and spoke perfunctorily.

In the end, Richard stood up and announced the punishment for the Nader family’s lateness, and fined them some military supplies. The punishment was not heavy, but it was the first step in establishing authority.

Of course the Nader family did not dare to challenge Richard’s authority again, and they nodded and accepted the punishment, acting like a good baby.

“Let’s go, everyone, hurry up. Our first military meeting in the Sixth War Zone cannot be vague.”

“Sir Sauter please come first.”

Everyone suddenly became respectful, even the Nader family was no exception, as if they were not the ones who were dissatisfied before.

Only Viscount Sauter, who was still a little dazed, was surrounded and returned to the meeting hall.
