Heroes of the Invincible Knight

Rescue is of course necessary. The west and north of the sixth war zone where Li Cha is located are endless forests, and the south is adjacent to the fifth war zone.

If the ogres were to attack, they would either enter the Ironwood Forest directly from the wilderness, or infiltrate from the forest for a few days and nights,

But anyone with a little common sense knows that it is actually difficult for a large group of people to cross the jungle, and they generally do not do it unless it is a last resort.

When the number of people and horses is too large, it is a big problem to enter the forest for drinking water and logistics.

The ogre's logistics level is not high, and it can even be said to be very primitive. The Ironwood Forest is not like a plain area, and there are so many human villages where they can resupply on the spot.

If thousands of people are really going to enter the forest, if there is no preparation first, hunting alone will definitely not be able to meet the needs of the large group of people.

This is also the reason why the ogres who harassed the half-elf tribe last time had only a small tribe and did not bring a large number of kobolds.

And now the iron wood forest has been installed with the nail of the forest city, and there are elf sword dancers and centaurs patrolling day and night, so the possibility of ogres infiltrating again is extremely low.

As long as the fifth war zone is not lost, Li Cha's territory will naturally not be damaged too much. War will always destroy production, and it can prevent wars from outside the territory. No lord will be willing to fight on his own territory.

Well, Richard has already regarded the entire Sixth War Zone as his territory.

The messenger from Bender's family arrived very quickly. Less than a day after Li Cha received Yu Sidu's report, the Bender family's request for help was placed in front of Li Cha's case.

The Bender family only holds the title of baron, but its lord, Baron Bender, is also the commander of the war zone appointed by Snow City.

Just because the Bender family has two strong knights, if they are only compared with other territories, they can be said to be a powerful party, and they are qualified to be the leader.

Generally speaking, viscounts and barons belong to the lower ranks of nobles. Viscounts may have a slightly larger fiefdom, but most viscounts and barons have no qualitative difference in strength.

Many even rely on a generation of knights to keep their titles.

The barons don't have much awe of the Viscount, they just rely on their strength to speak.

Only after the count, the larger territory and resources can lead to qualitative changes from quantitative changes. If there is no accident, the family's strength can be guaranteed to be stable. Each generation can support three to five knights and become a real noble family.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the Bender family can win the leadership of the Fifth War Zone with the title of baron.

Li Cha was sitting on a chair, carefully checking the letter of help sent by Bender's family,

The messenger stood aside respectfully waiting for Richard's reply,

The task of this messenger is not just to send a letter. He is also the messenger who asked for help from the Hunter family this time. He is also a quasi-knight of the Bender family, and he is also a middle-upper class in the Bender family.

In addition to delivering the letter this time, he also had another task to persuade the Hunter family to send troops, and he could agree to some conditions if necessary.

The envoy has been observing Li Cha's expression, hoping to see some clues, but unfortunately Li Cha remained expressionless until he gently closed the letter and put it down.

There are indeed some means for the Bender family to come to this point as a baron.

Li Cha couldn't help sighing after reading the letter.

The Bender family didn't say much in the letter, except to touch their emotions, to understand them with reason, and to talk about human righteousness and other empty words,

Mainly, he also listed with Li Cha the practical issues of how much military rations will be provided and how much start-up fees will be paid.

The two viscounts and the four barons, including the Bender family, will pay an additional 5,000 kinnars as a starting fee in addition to all the food and grass consumed by Richard's troops, which can be described as full of sincerity.

Of course, this also shows the urgency of the situation.

After the Jingbei Army was defeated, Marquis Wade led his remnants to retreat to Fort Hull, unable to stop the ogres from advancing eastward.

In addition to leaving a considerable number of ogres to monitor the Jingbei Army, tens of thousands of ogres crossed Helburg and rushed into the Northland.

For a time, wars broke out in the north, a large number of villages were slaughtered, and more villagers fled as refugees, and even the castles of several small nobles were breached.

Snow City is a bit overwhelmed now, and the Bender family didn't expect to get support from Snow City now, so they could only ask for help from nearby Li Cha.

"Kinnar up to ten thousand."

Li Cha was not polite either, the first sentence after putting down the letter was to add money.

Although Bender's family is very upright, the basic process of asking for a lot of money and paying back the money still needs to go through.

"This, I'm afraid it's too much."

Li Cha's lion opened his mouth wide and made the messenger a little embarrassed.

Although he has been given the authority to increase the size, Li Cha's method of super doubling is obviously not within his authority.

"Ten thousand kinnars, I will send troops immediately, and the vanguard will be able to leave today.

There are no less than twenty knights in the team. "

Li Cha saw that the other party was a little embarrassed, and directly threw out his own conditions.

When Li Cha said that there were no less than twenty knights in the reinforcement army, the envoy of the Bender family's eyes lit up.

The Bender family had done their homework beforehand. When Li Cha made the appearance of the Crusaders, he never thought of deliberately hiding their strength.

Those who are interested will naturally know that the Knights of the Hunter family have already surpassed the number of two palms.

This is why the Bender family first asked Richard for help. They knew that the Hunter family had this strength.

I thought I already understood the strength of the Hunter family, but I didn't expect to underestimate it.

The Hunter family was able to send twenty knights directly, which is probably the only family in the Northland with such strength besides the Lanster family.

Of course, the envoys of the Bender family only thought that these knights were hidden by the Hunter family before, and never thought that they all appeared only recently.

"Master Li Cha, are you sure?"

"Twenty knights, just a little more, and I won't charge any less."

"Okay, just 10,000 kinnars, and please Sir Richard send troops as soon as possible."

Although it slightly exceeded the scope of Baron Bender's authorization, the emissary of the Bender family is obviously not a pedantic person.

It wasn't just the Bender family who contributed the money. The noble families in the Fifth War Zone, although 10,000 kinnars were a lot, they could still make up the money with some blood from each family.

After all, money is nothing compared to wealth and life.

"Don't worry, the vanguard will be dispatched immediately, and the follow-up reinforcements will not be less than two thousand."

Li Cha is willing to send troops so quickly, except that Bender's family is more up-to-date,

It is also because the Griffin scouting from a distance has discovered that the ogre has begun to plunder the villages under several nobles in the fifth theater.

Facing the ravages of the ogre, several noble families closed the gate of the castle tightly, and did not dare to fight against it.

After all, the Jingbei Army was defeated, who has the courage to fight against the ogre in the wild?

No more troops, and when the nobles of Bender's family can't bear it anymore, the next one to suffer is his territory.

"Then I will go back with the adults."

The envoy of Bender's family obviously wanted to wait for Li Cha to send troops to act together.

Li Cha didn't care about it, and didn't intend to fool him, so he just let him go down to rest first.

"Call the officers above the capital to the chamber."

"Yes, my lord."

A messenger who was waiting at the door ran away, afraid of delaying Li Cha's order for a second...
