Heroes of the Invincible Knight
Chapter 157: doubt
"Lord Richard, we should be able to keep them."
Zebul was a little puzzled. In his opinion, although the man on the opposite side was strong, with him and the poisonous manticore, it should be enough to fight.
For the rest, Richard and the two vanguard knights will have to deal with them. Their chances of winning are not low, and these sneak attackers should not be let go.
"not worth it."
Richard shook his head, confirmed that the other party was gone, and put the angel necklace tightly in his hand back into his arms.
It wasn't worth his angel necklace, and it wasn't worth putting Zebul and the Manticore at risk.
The situation at night is unclear, and the town of Richie is not their home. It is best to annihilate the incoming enemy.
The opposite party has the ability to retreat, and he doesn't want to force it. If he catches up at this moment, if the other party has any other ambush, he can only force him to use the trump card of the angel necklace.
Li Cha now has a little sense of insecurity about the next journey, and even about the capital.
Be as cautious as possible.
Who knows, within the kingdom, or in the core area of the kingdom will be attacked, and the power sent by the other party is not weaker than the power of the top nobles,
If it weren't for Richard's many trump cards, he might have really become a corpse on the ground at this moment, and the Angel Necklace was Richard's last trump card.
"Check the losses."
"Yes!"
After a short contact war, Richard lost more than a dozen people.
The main loss was the two northern cavalry teams brought by Richard.
Although this group of cavalry is elite, they are only ordinary troops. The two captains barely reach the level of quasi-cavalry, and the rest are only the level of elite soldiers.
With such a high proportion of the opponent's knights, it is not normal for the losses to be small. If Richard's side had a certain advantage in high-end combat power and shared a lot of pressure, the casualties of these northern cavalrymen would only be greater.
In addition, several sentries arranged at night were also removed.
The bright and dark posts they set up are like jokes in the eyes of the other side. This group of people is simply familiar with this place.
Without any intention, the sentinel arranged by Li Cha was touched without any warning.
"Lord Richard, there is still life."
"Take it and see if you can ask anything."
"Yes."
In the process of clearing the battlefield, it was found that several people who were injured but not dead were very normal.
If you can save your own people, you can save them. If you can't save them, you can save them. If you meet someone on the other side, it depends on the situation.
If you want to ask questions, try to help.
The other party was a little embarrassed to withdraw, and naturally it was too late to take away their own wounded, and it fell into Li Cha's hands at this moment.
Li Cha really wanted to know the origins of this group of people. He still hasn't figured out what kind of immortal he has offended and created such a big battle against him.
"Lord Richard, the other party committed suicide."
"Oh shit."
Obviously, this group of people has a big problem. Such a dead man cannot be cultivated by ordinary forces.
Li Cha didn't bring any Yu Sidu interrogation experts this time. The group of people that his subordinates brought to fight was okay. The interrogation was completely layman, and he gave the opponent a chance to commit suicide.
But fortunately, Li Cha already has another guess in his heart...
the sky is bright
Finally, someone observed the hotel where Richard and the others were staying from a distance.
The sound of fighting in the middle of the night almost disturbed the entire town.
Except for the person who lived in the same hotel with Li Cha, who suffered a disaster in the middle of the night and was forced to flee the fire, everyone else huddled in the house and did not dare to emerge.
People in this era don't have the heart to watch the fun, and they are afraid that Chiyu will be affected by accident.
"Lord Li Cha, what you asked to investigate has been clarified."
Richard and the others didn't fall asleep in the middle of the night.
After simply restraining the corpse of his companion, Li Cha ordered people to go to the town to start an investigation.
When it was dawn, it was obvious that there were some eyebrows.
"The corpses last night were identified by several innkeepers, and many of them were from the Ritchie Town garrison.
Now the camp of the garrison is empty, and the group should have left directly at night. "
There was no obvious change in Li Cha's expression, and this result was obviously what he expected.
The group of people who attacked him in the middle of the night were obviously very familiar with the town. They looked like they were local forces. They also carried a lot of military crossbows. In addition, from the end of their fight to the present,
The garrison in the town didn't even respond. Even if there is more water, the floor should be washed. If it hasn't appeared yet, then the truth is obvious.
But after the results were obtained, Li Cha was even more puzzled.
This small garrison was apparently assigned to attack him together with other forces.
Even this garrison has long been out of the official kingdom of the kingdom. It had been in a low-key dormant state before, but it was suddenly activated to deal with him.
"Lord Richard, the mayor of Richie Town brought it here."
"My lord, I don't know anything!"
As soon as the mayor of Richie Town entered the door, he immediately knelt down in front of Li Cha. Through various understandings, he already knew about what happened last night.
He also understood the identity of the person in front of him. Whether it was an earl or a newly promoted marquis, he was a big man in a small town for him.
This big man was assassinated in the town last night, he didn't want to have anything to do with this kind of thing,
It's not like he hasn't seen these nobles before. When he encounters a more tyrannical master, if he has a slight suspicion, he can peel off a layer of skin.
He couldn't help being careless.
Li Cha followed the voice and looked,
The mayor is a bald man of about fifty years old, with a fat head and big ears. Obviously, he made a lot of money from this position.
However, Li Cha was not interested in what to do or not, and this town wasn't his territory, so he couldn't control it so far.
He just wanted to get some more information from this mayor.
However, looking at his appearance, Li Cha has not given much hope, and it is estimated that he is just a fool.
"Okay, I'll ask you something, just answer truthfully."
"Yes, sir, you ask."
"Tell me about the garrison first."
"There are 100 guards in our town, all of them are full and not a single vacancy."
"why?"
Although Li Cha asked why the opposing garrison had no space, it seemed strange at first glance.
But actually this is the normal state of the kingdom,
The local garrison captain should have a conscience to eat one-third to one-fourth of the empty quota.
In places like Richie Town, there is basically no war, and there are no powerful bandits in the hinterland of the kingdom.
Although there are 100 garrison troops, there is basically no war.
It is normal to eat half of the empty quota, but the mayor said that there is not a single quota, obviously there is a problem.
"Well, it's not that John's guy pretends to be arrogant. When I first took office, I discussed with him about taking some free money. I gave him half the money for more money, but he just refused.
He came earlier than me, and the garrison was full of his people. He really refused, and I, the mayor, had nothing to do with him. "
The mayor's attitude towards taking empty pay is justifiable. If it were under Richard's rule, he would be able to directly draw his sword and slash him at this moment.
"Where is John now?"
"I don't know, and I don't know where he ate a leopard and dared to attack you."
The mayor is actually not stupid. From the bodies of the guards and the empty guard camp today, he already guessed that the attack last night was related to the town guards.
He also really felt that he was wronged, and he didn't eat a penny of empty wages, which was a cauldron for nothing.
"Has the town garrison done anything recently, or something strange?"
"No, except for not taking free pay, the garrison in our town is no different from the garrison in other places. They train a few times a year and deal with errands in the capital.
If it's really abnormal, should we train the garrison more frequently? "
If Li Cha heard this before the attack, he would still think that the captain of the garrison was an upright officer who came out of the mud and was unsullied.
Now it sounds like, shit, there's a big problem.
"Oh~www.readwn.com~ By the way, recently the garrison was ordered by the above and dispatched to investigate the remnants of the Rising Sun Sect, and it seems to be quite rewarding."
Obviously, the original garrison captain managed the troops very solidly.
The mayor seems to be completely incapable of getting involved, and many things are only superficial.
"The Rising Sun Sect?"
When he heard the name again, Li Cha almost immediately determined that this incident had something to do with this church.
Well-trained soldiers, strong men of unknown origin, and determined dead men.
Except for the official power of the kingdom, there are not many powers that can meet these conditions at the same time.
And the kingdom officials have no possibility of targeting him at all,
Although there is no direct evidence, Richard has almost determined the attacker's power at this time.
(albeit late)
