Chapter 40 Legendary Knight [Knight of Thousand Faces] (for further reading)

The Knight of Thousand Faces, unknown.

Probably the most mysterious of the legendary knights that have appeared in history.

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

However, his name is the Knight of Thousand Faces.

It is such a deep imprint in the hearts of many people in later generations.

This is an unknown legend.

If the Voice of the Dead Bird was founded by the Knight of Thousand Faces, then this organization is really powerful.

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

Fred thought for a while and said, "The probability is the Duke of Montenegro."

"But the Duke of Montenegro clearly had the opportunity to get rid of me six years ago." Li Wei said.

"That's different. Six years ago, it was the time of the holy war, and it was the moment when your father just died. Getting rid of you at that time would easily cause some unnecessary troubles, but now that six years have passed, the Black Snake Knight has already died. Turned into the dust of history, and you, as the heir of the Black Snake Knight, have long since disappeared from everyone's sight. At this time, it is most appropriate to find a killer to get rid of you to prevent future troubles, but the Duke of Montenegro probably couldn't think of it, only six In 2000, you have grown from a child to a real knight." Fred Knight said.

"Is it possible that Abraham of the church did it?" Levi asked.

"It's possible, but the probability is not high. If the church really wants to do something to you, it doesn't need to be so troublesome. After all, for the duke, to kill a nobleman for no reason, he still needs to cover up the kingdom's laws and the rules among the nobles. , and for the church, there is a loving father in heaven, and they are the law. And Abraham, who recognizes money but does not recognize people, we have already promised to give money, so he should not do this."

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

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

After all, this group of people has occupied the Tulip collar and Stormwind collar for so long, but there is still a grudge, which makes them feel a little worried when they think about it occasionally.

That is me, the son of the black snake.

Although I look like a prodigal, weak and incompetent, I can't rule out the possibility of the rise of the fallen nobles in the 30 years of Hedong and 30 years of Hexi, as in the legend. As long as there is a slight possibility, it is possible to attack the Duke of Montenegro Create trouble.

And now it has been six years since the Holy War, no one remembers the Black Snake Knight, no one cares about the little baron lord in such a remote area. Wouldn't it be nice to feel like you can get rid of yourself.

"Heh, being a nobleman is also quite difficult. Obviously I have shown my disinterest in power as much as possible, kept a low profile as much as possible, lived in my own world as much as possible, and did not participate in secular disputes, but there are always some big people , I am used to looking at me with the eyes of power, treating me as an imaginary enemy, as a weed that gets in the way by the roadside, and they want to pull me out."

These big men turn their hands into clouds, turn their hands into rain, are far-sighted, intriguing, aloof and defiant.

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

Silent liver proficiency, when your own power is enough to change everything, crush their heads and trample on their dignity!

"Master Li Wei, although you are an advanced knight, if you fight the Duke of Montenegro, you are still far away. Let alone the Duke of Montenegro, the Seven Hussars of the North, even the Earl of Bloody and Earl of Silver Shade are both big knights." Knights, they are far superior to us in terms of personal strength and military strength, so you can't be impulsive." Knight Fred said suddenly, looking at Li Wei whose eyes were red.

"Don't worry, Fred, I have my own measure. From now on, we can live as usual. From now on, we will keep half of the armor forged every month for our own use. I will first arm a squad of fifty elite soldiers. .”

"If possible, I would like to buy war horses and train our militiamen into real cavalry. Having a well-armed, well-trained, and flexible cavalry team can also greatly enhance our strength."

Li Wei said his future plan, and the cavalry must be done.

In this era of cold weapons, cavalry is the absolute king. An official knight may be able to deal with ten well-trained ordinary soldiers by himself, but he will definitely not be able to deal with a ten-man cavalry team.

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

If Li Wei had a cavalry team of fifty men, he would be able to attack more than two-thirds of the baron's territory, and if he had a cavalry team of hundreds of men, he would not be afraid of it even in the earldom. Man, Li Wei can't even think about it now.

During the Millennium Jihad, King Jade 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 all over the country.

In a word, in this world, although knights are powerful in force, it is still the number of troops and equipment, especially cavalry, that really determine the direction of large-scale wars.

Li Wei originally had no intention of expanding and developing the army. He only wanted to earn a little money at first for his own cultivation.

However, he found that he was wrong. In this world, once he sat in this position, he had to face challenges from all directions at all times.

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

And Li Wei's line is to go high-quality, and first get a fully armed cavalry.

Regarding the construction of cavalry, the issue of weaponry,

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

What troubled Li Wei the most was the war horses needed by the cavalry.

As far as Li Wei knows, a high-quality and pure-blood equipped mountain horse needs 80 gold coins.

If Li Wei wanted to prepare a whole cavalry team of 50 men, and weapons and horse armor were negligible, the horses themselves would cost thousands of gold coins.

And this is just bought. War horses need to consume dozens of catties of feed every day. In order to ensure nutrition, they even have to be mixed with a lot of people's food. For the little lords of this era, this thing is a waste of money. machine.

But thinking of the possible crisis in the future, Li Wei felt that it still had to be done, but it had to be considered in the long run.

In the final analysis, it is still a matter of making money.

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

"who is it?"

"Hog Rider."
