Lord Harland

Chapter 62 King Charles
Li Cha's social skills are very average, and he is not good at communicating with nobles.

Conversations between nobles often do not directly talk about interests, but often like to make indirect remarks, which are cloudy and do not directly speak clearly.

Li Cha very clearly distrusted Spencer, which made him feel a little unhappy.

But Spencer is a very scheming person, even if he is unhappy in his heart, he will not show it on his face.

The Harlands are hereditary nobles with direct allegiance to the Crown.

Hereditary nobles had almost unlimited rights to their fiefs.

The lord can formulate laws, as long as they do not violate the laws of the Kingdom of Grant, the lord's decree must be implemented.

The lord can formulate a tax policy. Apart from paying tithes to the Church of the Seven Gods, the tax collected does not need to hand over a copper coin to the kingdom.

The lord can establish a private army, which is an important part of the kingdom's legal military power.

The lord also has a lifelong seat in the noble council, where he can discuss state affairs and communicate with the leadership of the Grant Kingdom at the noble council.

Even the royal family cannot bypass the hereditary nobles and handle the internal affairs of the noble fiefs.

These rights and obligations were written in the knighthood contract and notarized by the Church of Kingship and Order.

Although Spencer is the mayor of Heihe County, he is an important official of the royal family in northern Xinjiang.

But after all, he is a low-level official, and he will be replaced in a few years.He is not yet a hereditary noble, and he has no prestige among the nobles.

His noble honor is actually worthless.

On major issues, the Harland family will never believe in the so-called noble honor and pin their hopes on Spencer's morality.

Spencer wanted to get rid of the Harland family, and quietly stole the blueprint of the new trebuchet.

But he didn't dare to act rashly.

Harland's territory is a new territory, and there are few outsiders.

If you inquire rashly, it is easy to reveal flaws.

Moreover, the Harland family attached great importance to the new trebuchet, and it was not easy to obtain the blueprint.

If Li Cha was an ordinary person, Spencer could of course snatch it.

However, the Harland family is a hereditary noble, and there are more than 1000 armed forces in the territory, and an orc brigade has even been defeated.

All the defense forces of Black River Fort were mobilized, and they might not be able to defeat a large group of orcs.

Wanting to mobilize the main army, Baron William has been operating the Northern Army for more than 20 years, and he still doesn't know who will fight whom?
It is impossible to rob by force. If someone is caught stealing and the trouble is brought to the noble council, the Allen family will also be ashamed.

Although Spencer himself does not have much credibility, the Allen family has been operating in the Grant royal family for 60 years, and some family members have obtained fiefdoms through struggle.

Now the Allen family already has one hereditary viscount and two hereditary barons in Harant Kingdom.Among the middle and small nobles, he already has quite a reputation.

The Allen family has lost, and Spencer has no good fruit to eat.

A person who shamed the family, and his own strength is not very good, can only be marginalized.

Not only will the baron of the palace be unable to keep, but the mayor of Heihe County is expected to be replaced.

The vast majority of nobles are Conservatives, and so is Spencer.

Until the last moment, I will never choose a decision that endangers myself.

Even though he hated Li Cha's directness in his heart, he quickly weighed the pros and cons and decided to write a letter with Li Cha.

The two nobles wrote a letter together and said the same thing, which immediately got the attention of the royal secretary and sent the letter to King Charles.

After reading the letter, King Charles immediately said to the earl of the court, "Homme, go to Fort William yourself to see the secret weapon in Harland's territory. Evaluate, how much military exploits should be rewarded to them?"

Home Sunit holds multiple positions. He is not only the hereditary viscount of the eastern province of the Kingdom of Grant, but also a seventh-rank silver knight, and a court baron. He takes the royal salary and directly serves the royal family and obeys the king's orders. .

Hearing King Charlie's order, Home didn't hesitate at all, and respectfully gave a military salute to King Charlie.With dozens of entourages overnight, he rushed to the northern border immediately.

After Richard defeated the Maruland brigade in Fort William, the orcs continued to increase their troops in Harland Canyon.

Soon the strength of the orcs increased to three brigades, and a large number of Harpy scouts were dispatched.

The harpy was scouting at high altitude, and the situation in Fort William couldn't be hidden from the orcs at all.

After discovering the increase of troops in the direction of Fort William, the faces of several orc captains were a little heavy.

"Recently, I have sent a large number of scouts. Among them are harpies for aerial reconnaissance, and I have also sent human slave soldiers to make up reconnaissance.

According to the information detected by the harpies, Fort William sent more troops to humans, and now there are five squadrons of reinforcements, two main squadrons, and three city defense squadrons.Counting the original defenders in the castle, there are already 2000 soldiers in total.

Through human makeup reconnaissance, although we lost some of our manpower, we also figured out who the enemy on the other side is?
Fort William on the opposite side belongs to the territory of Harland.This territory is a new territory, and the lord William is the first generation of military nobles, and has made a lot of military exploits.

Now the man who manages the territory and directs the battle is Li Cha, the son of Lord William. "

Maruland pointed to the map, and introduced the enemy's situation to the two orc captains next to him.

"Fort William has great geographical advantages. This kind of castle is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Auxiliary troops can also play a very important role. Moreover, the enemy also has very terrible trebuchets. We should not fight recklessly.

In less than three years, the Harland family was able to build such a majestic castle. Their funds must be very strong, and they may have hidden powers. We should be more careful and avoid falling into traps. "

Another orc captain, Imsh, is a vulpe, a special species in the orc empire.

In terms of physical talent, fox people are quite average, and some strong human teenagers can kill fox people one-on-one.

But the fox people are very smart, and there are many spells inherited in their blood. Many fox people have also been inherited by magicians and become magicians of the orc empire.

In the war with the orcs, the fox people are not easy to deal with.

Female fox people can also use charm human spells.If the mental power attribute is low, the soul spell resistance is poor.

Even high-level professionals will be controlled by this kind of magic.

The female fox slaves are very similar to humans in appearance, and are also very sought after in human society. They are all forbidden by the nobles.
Although the population size of the fox race is average, it has a high status in the orc empire.

Imsh is a fifth-level magician Foxman. It looks gentle, like a human scholar, with gold-rimmed glasses hanging from its nose.

But there was some cunning and fierceness in his eyes.
