Chapter 40 The Legendary Knight [Knight with a Thousand Faces] (please follow up)

 The Knight with a Thousand Faces, nameless.

 Perhaps the most mysterious of the legendary knights that has ever appeared in history.

 No one knows his name, no one knows when he became a legend, and no one has even seen his appearance.

 But, his name is, the Knight with a Thousand Faces.

 This is how it was deeply imprinted on the hearts of many people in later generations.

 This is an unknown legend.

If the Voice of the Death Bird was founded by the Knight of a Thousand Faces, then this organization would be really powerful.

“Fred, who do you think might want to get rid of me?” Levi asked.

Fred thought for a while and said: "There is a high probability that he is the Duke of Montenegro."

“But the Duke of Montenegro clearly had the opportunity to get rid of me six years ago.” Levi said.

"That's different. Six years ago, it was the time of the Holy War, and it was the time when your father had just died. Getting rid of you at that time would easily cause some unnecessary trouble. But now that six years have passed, the Black Snake Knight has already Turned into the dust of history, and you, as the heir of the Black Snake Knight, have long disappeared from everyone's sight. At this time, it is definitely most appropriate to find a killer to kill you to prevent future troubles. However, the Duke of Montenegro probably did not expect that in just six Years ago, you have grown from a child to a true knight." Fred Knight said.

 “Is it possible that Abraham of the church did it?” asked Livy.

"It is possible, but the probability is not high. If the church really wants to take action against you, there is no need to go to such trouble. After all, for the Duke to kill a nobleman for no reason, he still needs to be secretive and considerate of the laws of the kingdom and the rules between nobles. , and for the church, there is a kind father in heaven, and they are the law. And Abraham, who recognizes money but not people, we have promised to give money, so he should not do this."

Fred Knight gave his analysis, and Levi thought it made sense.

Looking at it now, it is very likely that it is indeed the Duke of Montenegro.

 In the final analysis, this group of people has occupied the Tulip Territory and the Storm Territory for such a long time, but there is still a grudge that makes them feel a little worried when they think about it occasionally.

 That is myself, the son of the black snake.

Although he seems to be a prodigal, weak and incompetent, he does not rule out the possibility that the fallen nobles will rise up for revenge in thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, as in the legendary story. As long as there is a slight possibility, it is possible to attack the Duke of Montenegro in the future. Create trouble.

And now six years have passed since the Holy War. No one remembers the Black Snake Knight, and no one cares about such a small baron lord in a remote area. At this time, he just casually hired a killer in his territory, and no one knows where he is. Wouldn't it be nice to feel free to get rid of yourself?

"Oh, it's quite difficult to be a noble. Obviously I have tried my best to show that I am not interested in power. I am as low-key as possible, live in my own world as much as possible, and do not participate in worldly disputes. But there are always some big shots. , used to looking at me with the eyes of power, treating me as an imaginary enemy, as an obstructive weed on the roadside, and trying to pull me out."

These big shots turn their hands into clouds and turn their hands into rain. They have deep plans, intrigues, and are aloof and arrogant.

 For ordinary people like Li Wei who are not good at power struggles, there is only one thing they can do:

With silent liver proficiency, when his power is enough to change everything, he will crush their heads and trample on their dignity!

"Master Li Wei, although you have advanced to the level of a formal knight, you are still far behind if you want to fight with the Duke of Montenegro. Not to mention the Duke of Montenegro, the Seven Horsemen of the North, even the Earl of Blood and the Earl of Silver Shape are both great knights. Knights, they are far better than us in terms of personal strength and military strength, you can't be impulsive." Knight Fred looked at Levi with red eyes and said suddenly. "Don't worry, Fred, I have my own sense of discretion. From now on, we can just live as usual. From now on, half of the armor forged every month will be kept for our own use. I will first arm a squad of fifty elite soldiers. .”

“If possible, I would like to purchase war horses and train our militiamen into real cavalry. Having a fully armed, well-trained, and mobile cavalry team can also greatly enhance our strength.”

Livi stated his future plan, and the cavalry must be carried out.

 In this age of cold weapons, cavalry is the absolute king. A formal knight may be able to deal with ten well-trained ordinary soldiers by himself, but he will never be able to deal with a cavalry team of ten.

 The impact of the hundreds of kilograms of war horses, coupled with the heavy armor, wielding spears, heavy hammers, and swords, is absolutely terrifying.

If Livy had a cavalry team of fifty, he could defeat more than two-thirds of the barony. If he had a cavalry team of several hundred, he would not be afraid even of the earldom. As for thousands of cavalry, he would not be afraid. Man, Levi can’t even think about it now.

During the Millennium Holy War, the Emerald King launched an anti-invasion war against the Tuva Empire. In the name of the king, he only recruited more than 20,000 cavalry from nobles from various places.

In a word, in this world, although knights are powerful, what really determines the direction of large-scale wars is the number of troops, equipment, especially cavalry.

Li Wei had no intention of expanding and developing the army. At first, he just wanted to make a little money for his own cultivation.

 However, he found that he was wrong. In this world, once he sits in this position, he must always face challenges from all directions.

 He must develop military power so that he can protect himself!

 Livi's route was to go high-quality and first build a fully armed cavalry.

 Concerning the construction of cavalry and weapons and equipment,

 Based on the current booming forging industry in the territory, it is only a matter of time before this problem is solved.

 The most troublesome thing for Li Wei was the horses needed for the cavalry.

As far as Li Wei knew, a high-quality, pure-blooded mountain war horse cost eighty gold coins.

If Li Wei wanted to assemble a full cavalry team of fifty people, and the weapons, equipment and horse armor were ignored, the war horses themselves would cost several thousand gold coins.

And this is just for buying it. War horses need to consume dozens of kilograms of feed every day. In order to ensure nutrition, they even have to be mixed with a lot of food for human consumption. For the small lords of this era, this thing is a waste of money. machine.

But when he thought about the possible crises in the future, Li Wei felt that he still had to take action, but he had to think about it in the long term.

 At the end of the day, it’s still a matter of making money.

"Cavalry, I agree with the young master's idea. If we want to regain the Black Snake family's territory in the future, cavalry is also indispensable. However, at this stage, the territory's finances cannot support the cavalry team at all. Let's take our time. By the way, There is one more thing I think it is necessary to tell you." Fred Knight suddenly said. "The knight you traded with, I think I know who he is."

"who is it?"

 “Hog Rider.”
