Heroes of the Invincible Knight

Floating Snow City is located in the southernmost part of the Northland, close to the confluence of the Daling River and the Xiaoling River.

The two rivers originating from the snow-capped mountains in the extreme north flowed through the vast ironwood forest, then flowed through Hunterland, and finally converged again to become the Jinlong River that runs through the empire. It flows all the way through the fertile river valley, crosses the great plain in the middle of the kingdom, and finally flows south. Into the endless sea.

This city located on the north-south traffic artery is the well-deserved No. 1 city in the Northland. The 9-foot-high city wall, row upon row of street houses, and the endless sounds of selling and laughing on the street all tell the story of Snow City. of grandeur.

At the gate of Piaoxue City, the civilians entering and leaving and the caravans trading in and out obeyed and waited in line for the inspection of the guards.

Floating Snow City is located at the southern end of the Northland, where the rivers and rivers converge. It can be said to be an important transportation hub. Whether it is a lumber merchant who sells iron wood in the north, an iron ore merchant in the west, or even sea pearls mined in the south, they are all here. Gather here.

"Old man, I heard that two lords are in conflict again at the edge of the Ironwood Forest in the north."

"No, it caused me to be delayed for more than ten days this time, otherwise this batch of goods would have been shipped to the capital."

Two acquaintances met at the city gate and chatted while waiting.

"Which two are fighting, which side wins."

"I heard that the Hunter family won."

"Hunter's family?" The other businessman had obviously never heard of this family's name.

After all, there are more than one hundred lords in the North, and every ten years, there will always be a few knights who will never come out to inherit the title and disappear in the noble list. If you don't pay attention, who can remember each family clearly.

"Ham, it's just a small family next to the Ironwood Forest. In the past few years, they actually built an Ironwood City. Now they go to collect timber. Some of the goods from the past can be sold directly in the city, which is more convenient."

Naturally, these merchants who bought timber could not take empty carts to the northernmost area to collect timber, and they always had to bring some goods from other places to sell by the way.

"This northern land is a bit chaotic now. In the past two years, more and more nobles have used swords, and even many knights have died. I didn't even dare to think about it a few years ago."

"What's the chaos? It's just some rural aristocrats making a fuss. Whether or not the northern land is in chaos depends on what he says." Then, the businessman stretched out his thumb and pointed at the people on the tower. The word Piaoxuecheng refers to it.

"That's right, we don't have to worry about it so much, just make a good living."

"Next one, hurry up." The soldiers at the city gate were a little impatient seeing no one coming forward.

"I'm coming."

"When this batch of goods goes out, let's have a drink in the city."

As he said that, he hurriedly led the horse and the goods to the city gate.

The conversation between the two businessmen all showed awe of Piaoxuecheng, and the strength of Piaoxuecheng is also the consensus of all the people in the north.

The Lanster family, the Marquis of the Northland, is the owner of Snow City. Although the current owner, Wade Lanster, is eighty years old, he is a real master of the Grand Knight rank.

Among the four sons, except the youngest son who was born weak and unable to cultivate, the eldest son and the second son are both masters of the knight rank, the third son has also reached the peak level of the quasi knight, and the eldest son is even rumored to have entered the grand knight rank, which is eye-catching.

The various branches of the Lanster family also produced a large number of talents, and there were at least twenty knights in total. Little aristocrats like the Will family and the previous Hunter family rarely get a knight in each generation, and they often worry about the succession of the title, while the Lanster family has at least nearly 30 knights, not to mention there are also great knights. Such a master of Dinghaishenzhen.

There are nearly 100,000 soldiers under the entire Piaoxue City called the Jingbei Army. These are not the kind of farmers and soldiers who train several times a year, but professional soldiers who have been in camp all year round. One side's confidence.

In terms of high-end combat power, the Lanster family has more than 20 knight-level masters, plus a large number of landless knights who have joined the Lanster family, Snow City has hundreds of knight-level combat power. It is said that half of the knights in the entire Northland gathered under Lanster's Snow Wolf banner.

As for the quasi-knights, there are countless of them, and there are thousands of them serving in the Jingbei Army, they are nothing at all, they can only serve as low-level officers.

It can be said that the Lanster family is the local emperor of the Northland. As long as they don't raise their banners and rebel, no one can rule them.

...

At this time, in a gorgeous mansion in Piaoxue City, a young man dressed in luxurious brocade was fumbling with some tea sets on the table, as if he was about to brew something.

A middle-aged man in light armor stood beside him respectfully.

"Master Lint, this is a gift list from the Hunter family, please have a look."

The young man put down the tea set in his hand, and casually flipped through the gift list.

"Huo, it's quite expensive. It's not like this kind of little nobleman can afford it."

"Tell me, what do they want?" Of course such an expensive gift was not given for nothing.

The subordinate next to him roughly told Lint about the matter.

After hearing this, Lint showed an expression of great interest.

"Sander, what do you think?"

"Bold and reckless, wolf ambition."

"Hahaha, it's not easy for Sander to say such things."

"Tell me, whether I will help you or not."

"It's all up to the young master."

Although Sander saw through Richard's manipulation, he didn't actually pay much attention to it. After all, from the perspective of Piaoxuecheng, the battle between Hunter and Will's family was like two groups of ants who accidentally landed for a little bit. The crumbs on the ground are like fighting.

It was Lint who read some unusual things from simple things.

"It's interesting to fight more with less and defeat the enemy later."

"Sand, go and get me all the information about the Hunter family." Lint pondered for a few seconds and ordered Sander to the side.

"It's the young master."

Lint's full name is Lint Lanster. He is the fourth young master of the Lanster family and the youngest son of Marquis Wade. He set up the largest Chamber of Commerce in the Northland, recruited a group of subordinates, and weaved an intelligence network covering the Northland. He is definitely not a useless person in the eyes of most people.

"Master, all the information related to the Hunter family is here. The latest is a battle between them and the Will family a month ago."

"En", Lint responded, and then buried himself in the pages carefully.

Limited by the speed of information dissemination in the times, it is normal for some unimportant information to be delayed by one month.

The more Lin Te watched, his brows furrowed tighter, and he started talking to himself unconsciously.

"Giving fields, building cities, military exploits, tyrannical farmers and soldiers, reforming the tax system, and ingenious equipment."

While talking about Lint, he was sketching something with a pen, and finally put the pen on the table and fell into long-term thinking.

After a while of silence, Lint slowly frowned.

"Sand, help him this time, and do as he asks."

"Also, in the future, the information about the Hunter family and Richard will be changed to the first level of importance."

"Even if Hunter Territory annexes Will Territory, it's just a small nobleman with hundreds of thousands of people. Is it necessary?"

When the importance of intelligence is adjusted to level one, the investment in collecting relevant information will increase geometrically. Such a large investment to target a small person in Sander's eyes seems a bit outweighed by the gain.

Lint did not show anger because of Sander's questioning, but instead showed a certain amount of patience with his confidant.

"Sander, do you know what I saw in the intelligence?"

"Please tell me, Master."

"It's change. In this unchanging and slowly decaying kingdom, a little bit of change makes me see hope."
