Lord Harland.

Lord Harland Text Volume Chapter 306 Undercurrent This year's war was because the Kingdom of Grant had fewer troops on the north bank of the Kea River, which led to loopholes in the strategic situation. The orcs penetrated the defense line, making the Northern Army dare not Acting rashly, strategically fell into passivity.

To complete the tasks assigned by King Roger, Lord Harland needed to build two castles at the northern foot of the Eagle Mountains.The battle line was moved northward for nearly kilometers and more than troops were stationed.

It is not easy for Harland to add 6,000 soldiers, build two new forts more than 100 kilometers away, and strengthen the garrison on the north bank of the Kea River.

Over the course of a year, at least 100,000 gold coins will be invested. But Richard knew in his heart that the greater his ability, the more he should bear responsibility.

After Richard was promoted to Duke, the entire Grant Kingdom's upper echelons were watching his next move.

If he does not perform well in the next war, public sentiment may be aroused and many people will write letters to pursue him.After all, there are many nobles who are jealous of Richard, and the Harland family has offended many nobles because of emancipating serfs and spreading knowledge.

If he wants to gain a firm foothold, Richard's performance must be hard to fault.

Generally speaking, the canonization of a duke is a very important matter for a kingdom. It often requires a grand celebration and complicated ceremony. All the distinguished nobles in Nolan should participate in the grand ceremony of the canonization of the duke.

But the situation is tense now, and Richard needs to be in command in the Losa Basin, so the ceremony was not held.Besides, when he reaches a position like Richard's, he should also be on guard against outsiders.

If something goes wrong on the way to Nolan, it will interrupt the momentum of development in Haaland's territory. This is not because Richard is afraid of death, but because he is responsible for himself and the territory.

Because of the rapid development of the Harland territory, Richard was promoted to Duke in his thirties, and King Roger was actually a little afraid of him.

According to the bard, Richard's life must be a legendary life and will be recited for thousands of years.According to Richard's current development speed, he will definitely be a big shot in the Dawn Plane in the future.

After all, a man started from scratch and actually established a ducal family in his early thirties. Richard's performance has surpassed that of Grant, Venus and other founding owners.

It's just that Roger is different from King Charles. He is not far from a legend. He is also a man of great talent and strategy. He thinks he can control powerful men like Richard and Duke Jonathan.

In addition, King Roger was not too old and could suppress his inner suspicion without becoming confused.

In recent years, King Roger has also considered issues in favor of the Grant Kingdom and has not set up obstacles to the development of the Harland Territory.If a serious internal fight breaks out between the royal family and the Harland family, it will only force Richard to move closer to the Jonathan family.

If the internal friction between the two sides is serious, it will only benefit the orcs.

Although the current Harland family is developing very well, it is still not among the top five in the Grant Kingdom in terms of strength. The two major families, Jonathan and York, put far more pressure on the royal family than the Harland family.

Moreover, in King Roger's mind, after relying on the Dukedom of Harland to stabilize the situation in northern Xinjiang, he could mobilize the northern imperial army to attack the Kingdom of Delon southward and expand into the wealthy south. When the time comes, smoothly transferring the Grizzly Legion to the south will not only reduce the Harland family's influence in northern Xinjiang, but will also be a good check and balance for Richard.

King Roger's ability is far superior to that of his predecessor, Charles.

After he took over as king, the Grant royal family swallowed up four provincial territories and expanded a main army. In less than ten years, he saved 1.2 million gold coins and obtained several advanced technologies from Richard. It can be said that he is the master of the renaissance of the Grant royal family.

Envoy Allen only brought the canonization documents and a gold seal.

Also coming to Northern Xinjiang with Special Envoy Allen was Wilson, the eldest son of King Roger.

Wilson is twenty-six years old and already a fifth-level knight. He is the eldest son of King Roger and was clearly established as the crown prince last year.

Wilson's talent followed his father's footsteps, and he became a mid-level professional at a young age, serving as a senior officer in the Royal Guards.

According to the practice of prince training, after being promoted to the Silver Knight, the crown prince will also enter the northern frontline and fight the orcs himself.

The reason why King Roger sent Wales to Harland this time was actually to allow him to contact Richard and make some preparations in advance, so as not to be unprepared and unable to control more difficult figures such as Richard when he takes over as king in the future.

In recent years, Wilson has entered northern Xinjiang several times and met with Dukes Fox and Edward respectively, as well as Macmillan, who stayed in the Dukedom of Jonathan.

This time when dealing with Richard, Wales has already come into contact with all the top officials in Northern Xinjiang.

In an extraordinary world like the Dawn Plane, the lives of noble children are not easy. To live a life without worries about food and clothing, you must take responsibility.

Especially in the Grant Kingdom, wars were frequent and full of bloodshed. Every noble child had to go to the battlefield, and the royal family children were no exception. Many people came to northern Xinjiang to fight the orcs.

Duke Roger is one of the best. He has been stationed in Northern Xinjiang for more than ten years and participated in four orc invasions.When he was young, he participated in many battles and personally charged into battle.This experience is a very key factor in why he is comfortable on the throne.

Children from aristocratic families will be tested for magic aptitude when they are ten years old. If they are tested for magic aptitude, they will be given priority to become mages. If they don't have magical talent and start practicing breathing techniques and awakening their knight bloodline when they are fifteen or sixteen, they will spend more than half of their youth in the military, which is not only boring but also cruel.

At the same time, they need to receive a rigorous education and need to learn many courses such as writing, law, political rules, history, geography, literature, aristocratic etiquette, etc.

Knight training is an essential subject.

The direct members of the royal family all have very good bloodlines. As long as their qualifications are not too bad and sufficient resources are provided, they can often enter the fourth level before the age of thirty and have good skills.

Richard was already considered a person with outstanding talents, and he still had killing experience to cheat. He only advanced to the sixth level warrior before he was thirty years old, and Prince Wilson's advancement speed was only a little slower than Richard.

Ordinary nobles outside can be called geniuses if they can become a third-level knight at this age.But compared to Wilson, the speed of cultivation is far from enough.

A person with extraordinary talent like Jennings can barely keep up with Wilson's advancement speed.However, he does not have the bloodline of an awakened knight, and his combat power is far from the match of the royal bloodline.

The gap in bloodline and resources is an important factor in the combat effectiveness of the big nobles to suppress the small nobles.

A warrior's peak period is about forty years. If he cannot advance to legend, the physical fitness of warriors and knights will slowly decline after the age of sixty. After the age of ninety, it will be basically difficult to fight fiercely.

It can be said that there is a time limit for a person's peak period, and the road to becoming a strong man also requires speed.

One step is slow and one step is slow. The members of the royal family rely on their advantages in blood and resources to suppress internal and external opponents.
