Riding and Slashing

Chapter 29 The Horn Summons Rangers

"Sarah, Ralph claims to be the commander of the knights under Earl Auden, not a knight... This is the problem itself. Ordinary knights will never introduce themselves like this..."

Indeed, ordinary knights would directly report their own names, at most they would mention their hometown or territory, such as 'a knight from the remote village', 'the lord of Jialing Village' and the like.

But certainly not claiming to be 'Knight Commander'.

Knights loyal to the great nobles do not have the title of knight commander—at most they have chief knights.

The title of knight commander usually appears in the local armed forces, that is, in various knight orders. It is a position within the knight order, rather than representing the status of nobility.

Moreover, as we all know, it is impossible for a nobleman not to hang the family flag.

Especially a leading knight who needs to lead the army and face life and death and suffering.

The knight at the bottom of the nobility, the more he will use his coat of arms everywhere - this is a testimony of his life's honor, and his descendants will enjoy the blessings he earned from the battlefield for generations, which is worth boasting about.

If you really encounter someone who doesn't have a banner, at most, they haven't had time to make it, just like Li Ang now.

It's only been a few days since Li Ang left the House of Nobles. He really didn't have time to think about making a flag. It's not that he didn't want to use it. Killed you.

Flags can save lives in this day and age.

The nobles may have relatives by marriage, and no one knows whether the temporarily hostile parties will become allies in the future, so there is a tacit understanding between the nobles, unless it is their own death or accidental death, otherwise as long as they surrender in time Can save lives.

And like Ralph, as the commander of the garrison, there are almost no ones who don't hang their own flags—unless he is not a nobleman and has no right to use the flag.

Sarah recalled it carefully, and then agreed with Li Ang's observation and memory.

"Perhaps he is indeed a commoner. But what does that have to do with letting him buy this camp, my lord?"

Agreeing is just because of Li Ang's keen observation ability. Sarah doesn't understand Li Ang's intentions, and her delicate face is full of confusion. How can this business be discussed?
I'm afraid it's not easy to be a foreign officer for the lord...

"A commoner has become the commander of the garrison in Changhe Town, and his subordinates can command thousands of people. What do you think is the greatest possibility? Besides, he is also a so-called knight commander."

Li Ang shook his neck and asked Sarah.

"It means that he is not an ordinary commoner... nor is he a knight in the conventional sense... Wait, my lord, do you mean that he is the knight commander of the Horn Summoning Ranger?"

Sarah understood somewhat, and there was only such an explanation.

Changhe Town has a unique armed force, which is a powerful armed force for patrolling and defending the border, and it is also the basic force for the rise of Earl Oden.

This force is called the Horn Call Rangers.

After Alfred, the Duke of Sarleon, stole the country and established himself, most of the knights loyal to the old Pendor Kingdom were forcibly banned, leaving only the Lion Knights, the national knights.

The Lion Knights may indeed be very powerful, but the Sarleon Kingdom once faced the invasion of the Bacchus Empire in the south, the pirates in the west, and the Jatus in the east at the same time, which made the only legal knight order in this territory exhausted.

Changhe Town was still on the border at that time, and the northeast was the vast Jatu Grassland. Jatu cavalry often entered Changhe Town to burn, kill and loot.

These prairie barbarians are extremely powerful in combat, and their methods of looting are also extremely terrible-they will rob all women and property, including food and tools.

And apart from the women they regarded as their property, any man taller than the wheel would be slaughtered.

Moreover, the Jatu people, all of whom are cavalry, come and go like the wind. By the time the lords from all over the country rushed over with their armies, the Jatu people had already returned with a full load.

This kind of unscrupulous looting finally made some local knights in Changhe Town unbearable. They spontaneously formed the Horn Summoning Ranger Squad to deal with the Jatu people.

These knights will patrol the border of Changhe Town in the form of a small group. Once the Jatu cavalry is spotted, the patrolling group will charge while blowing the horn they carry with them.

And the nearby knight squad will rush to support immediately after hearing the horn.

This highly efficient mobile defense system successfully prevented the Jatus from plundering the border villages, and the Horn Summoning Ranger Squad became famous from then on, making these knights the patron saints in the hearts of the local people.

At the same time, it has also become the official default legal knight order of the Sarleon Kingdom.

As for Earl Oden, it is said that he has the full support of this armed force-Oden is a native of Changhe Town, and he is likely to have been a member of the Horn Call Ranger Group, and he may even be the Grand Leader.

Over time, the Horn Call Ranger Group has gradually developed into a very distinctive group. They will wear the iconic green armor and match the horses with green horses. Get the upper hand in encounters.

At the same time, with successive victories, the territory of the kingdom—or the jurisdiction of Changhe Town gradually stepped into the border of the grassland. They began to introduce a large number of various good horses for breeding and breed the unique gelding of Changhe Town.

This kind of war horse that is not in heat, not easy to startle, and extremely docile allows them to gain the upper hand against the Jatu people who are good at riding and shooting even in terms of riding and shooting.

This is probably why Ralph, after hearing about the Jatu Centuries, took it 'reasonable' to capture or kill the Jatu cavalryman.

They do have the ability to take out those Jatu raiders quickly.

Although it is also known as the knight order, there is a significant difference between the Horn Call Ranger Order and other knight orders on the mainland-their core members are not necessarily noble knights.

As long as they have the determination to protect their homeland and are skilled enough, any citizen in Changhe Town can start as a sentinel and gradually become a core member of the Horn Call Ranger Squad.

In contrast, this knight order doesn't particularly care about status, which may have something to do with Earl Oden.

Of course, the head of the regiment can only be a nobleman.

Ralph, the knight commander, must be like this-he is not a noble knight in the general sense, but the "knight commander" of the knight order called the Ranger by the Horn.

This is actually very rare. There are still a large number of nobles in the Horn Call Ranger Group. Ralph must have an extraordinary record to become the leader of those nobles.

"Sarah, do you think Ralph will feel uncomfortable as a commoner facing a power struggle between two high-ranking nobles in a place like Changhe Town?"

Li Ang twisted his neck and said slowly.

Sarah was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood: "My lord, Ralph doesn't seem to be very good at being a bureaucrat, otherwise he wouldn't be beaten by you...I wouldn't provide you with so many supplies..."

Li Ang smiled and nodded: "That's right, he is a fighter, an outstanding fighter. I can tell that his skill is probably better than Klose... His stage should be the border battlefield, not the battlefield." The intrigue among nobles."

As he said that, he looked at Sarah, but there was no philistine businessman in his eyes, but a little worried.

"Sarah, I think you can convince him to buy this place that the Jatu people must pass through to station his elite sentinels... Here, he will most likely become the second Earl of Alden!"

Sarah's eyes gradually widened, and the clever vixen had already thought of what Li Ang said.

"My lord, do you think that the Jatu army will attack the Sarleon Kingdom from here?!"

Yes, so Li Ang could only tell Sarah these words. Before the defense of the camp was well organized, he couldn't let the mercenaries hear him, or else most of them might run away.
