Chapter 44 Royal Banquet
"Ravana City, here I come again."

Looking at the huge city in front of him, Richard didn't feel much turmoil in his heart. If it wasn't for the invitation of King Harlaus, he wouldn't even waste time coming here again, but chose to return to Cuban Island directly.

In order to celebrate the victory of this war, King Harolds invited the nobles and nobles of the kingdom to the city of Ravana to attend a banquet, which naturally included Richard. , the days to come may not be too easy.

Speaking of which, Richard also paid a lot for this war. There were originally 398 soldiers who left Cuban Island with him. The number of ax cavalry was reduced from 60 to 34, and the number of Viking raiders was reduced from 112 to 57. Farmers and civilian archers were far away from the frontal fight, so there were almost no casualties.

The early general guards who personally guarded Richard also killed two knights in battle and one was seriously injured. With such poor medical conditions in the Middle Ages, generally speaking, there is no hope.

And the reality is not like in the game, no matter how many people in the general's guard are killed, as long as the general is still alive, it will automatically return to the original number after a few rounds.Here, unless Richard finds a suitable knight and absorbs him into the general guard, it will never be automatically replenished, which means that his general guard will lose one if one dies.

Before entering the city of Ravana, Richard asked Kondra, who had become his deputy, to lead the army along the road to Bell Port, and board a ship from there to return to Kuban Island. This was also the intention of King Haraus, in order to avoid additional casualties. As a matter of fact, he asked every nobleman who accompanied the army to send off the troops he had recruited before attending the banquet.

After letting Kondra lead the army to leave, Richard took the remaining 21 early general guard knights to follow King Halaus and the large army into the city of Ravana.Countless civilians had already gathered on both sides of the street near the city gate. They warmly welcomed the returning soldiers and cheered for His Majesty the King.

In the middle of the street, the remaining prince Lawrence and the second prince Burris, who served as the diplomatic chief, led the noble officials to line up to welcome King Haraus and his triumphant army. To Richard's surprise, although the two uncles treated him We only met him once, but my attitude toward him was very warm.

After the welcoming ceremony, King Harlaus asked the military chief Bundak to lead the army to patrol the city. After the city patrol, part of the spoils seized in the war will be exchanged for silver Morse coins, and then Distributed to the civilians in the whole city, although each person will not get a lot of money, it is still worth cheering and celebrating.

The supremely honorable act of leading the army to patrol the city should have been performed by King Harlaus himself, but as he was getting older, he obviously couldn't bear this kind of physical work, so he could only hand it over to his most trusted third son.Although no one raised any objections, the flash of jealousy in the eyes of the two princes, Lawrence and Burris, still meant something.

When everyone returned to the Trizzi Palace, it was already dark. Prince Lawrence prepared a small banquet for everyone in advance. This banquet only included members of the royal family. A member of the royal family of the Kingdom of Vana, but the royal blood flowing in his body still makes him eligible to participate in this banquet.

When Richard took off his heavy general armor and put on cumbersome and cumbersome noble costumes and came to the banquet hall, the banquet had just begun. Only then did he discover that there were many members of the royal family in the Kingdom of Ravana, not only Halaus Members of the king's line, and some collateral members.

As the king's son-in-law, Osrita of the Griffin family is naturally a member of the royal family. When Richard found him, the young heir to the nobility was holding a wine glass and talking to Prince Burris. Richard was about to walk over After saying hello to him and expressing my thanks again, I was stopped by a strange voice.

Richard looked around, and it turned out to be his uncle, the Crown Prince Lawrence.

"Hello, Uncle Lawrence." Richard said respectfully.

"Richard, don't be restrained, we are all family." Lawrence said kindly, he patted Richard on the shoulder to show his kindness, "I have always wanted to find a chance to chat with you, but You are in Cuban Island and I am in Ravana. I have never found a chance. Today I finally found an opportunity. We must have a good talk."

"As you wish." Richard replied, he couldn't help guessing Lawrence's intentions.

Richard didn't really believe it when he said it was an ordinary chat. He was not a child, and he would naively believe what the other party said.

Looking at Richard's appearance, Harlaus smiled slightly, picked up a glass full of wheat wine from the wine tray held by the maid at the side, and handed it to Richard, saying, "Have a glass, I'm here with you." When I was old, I could already drink half a barrel of wine."

Richard nodded, took the glass he handed over, drank it down in one gulp, then wiped his mouth, and said, "I'm fine with this one, uncle."

"Haha, our little Richard can mount a horse and charge into battle at this age, and drinking is really a piece of cake." Lawrence said with a smile, and at the same time took Richard's hand and walked in the direction of Prince Burris. While talking with Osleta, he soon noticed someone approaching, turned his head and saw Lawrence and Richard, then stopped talking, and looked at Lawrence and them together with Osleta.

"Boris, Osleta, come and see our little hero, Richard Stuart who led the guards to charge into battle at the age of 15."

"..."

Listening to Lawrence's words, Richard couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, but he still forced a smile on his face, reluctantly saying hello to Burris and the others.

"Uncle Burris, Uncle Osrita, hello."

"Richard, you really didn't disappoint me. I believe that if Douglas knew about your deeds, he would definitely beg you to take him to the battlefield." Osrita responded enthusiastically, completely different from the way he had just met. If two people, if they were out of politeness when they first met, then they are beginning to accept him now.

And Burris also had a smile on his face. He nodded and said, "I've heard from Aphra that the town you built on Cuban Island, um...it seems to be called Nuremberg, and it's developing very fast. , I believe that this also shows your ability."

"Hehe..." Richard could only respond to them with an awkward smile, especially what Burris said, what is his ability in it, if there is no system, I am afraid that there will not be many people in Cuban Island by now—no, I am afraid it has already Back under the control of the Moor Pirates.
