[Introduction to the Kugit upgrade tree, there are two categories. 】
[Khergit tribe - rider - horse archer - veteran horse archer]
[Kurgit tribe - rider - lance rider - lance knight]
The highest level of Khergit troops is only level 4, which is a bit inferior to the level 5 Swadian Iron Knights.
"Well, that's great, thank you."
De La Serre was pleased with the joining of these two Kujit people. As long as they were promoted to a higher level, they could fight on horseback.
At present, there is not a single horseman in my own army, and even I am an infantryman...
With them, future tracking and patrolling will be much more convenient.
At this time, Owens completed the task of purchasing and fetching water, and Safiya also quietly came over.
"Baron, where are the grapes? Don't try to fool me with watermelon seeds!"
"Am I that kind of person? Here you go."
After that, De Lassel gave Safiya the fresh grapes he had just got. Safiya jumped for joy and started eating the grapes in her arms.
Only then did De La Serre realize that he had been negligent.
Safiya was still wearing the green dress, which was still stained with the blood of the forest robbers.
"It's very troublesome to use a bow and arrow when you wear this, and it also gets in the way when you walk. Why don't you change it?"
De Lassel silently communicated with the system and took out the noble robe from his backpack.
It was brought from Uxhall, and every Swadian lord possesses one.
The noble robe is light and convenient, and is made of high-quality silk, which is soft and comfortable.
"Well, that's very thoughtful of you. Thank you, Baron."
He is not always cold and heartless, he can also be a warm-hearted man sometimes...
Safiya grew up in the mountains since she was a child. She had no idea about the struggle for power and money in the outside kingdoms, and she was even less aware of the humble status of women in that era.
She also yearns for mutual care and concern between men and women.
After changing into the noble robe, De Lassel looked at the beautiful girl in front of him, who had added a bit of aristocratic elegance, and swallowed inadvertently.
【Evaluation: Okay, okay, just take a few glances, and don’t think about colorful things in your mind. 】
At this time, the system took the initiative to come online and communicate with De Lassel.
Damn, you really don't understand romance. Your system must have been single for a long time...
It should have been a happy and harmonious day, but the arrival of a person broke the happiness.
The current lord of Xiko village, Nayan Tulu, now led his elite regular army back to Xiko to collect taxes.
Nayan is an honorific title for the lord of the Khergit Khanate, just like the nobles of the Kingdom of Swadia are all called earls or barons. It’s the same principle.
Nayantulu was one of the lords of the Khugit Khanate. He was cruel and cunning. Under his rule, the people of Shikoh were living in poverty and the government was harsh and taxes were heavy.
"Damn it, village chief, who the hell are these people? Tell me their names quickly so that I know who the hell I'm going to kill if I want to kill them."
This Nayan Tulu was wearing elite Khergit Khan armor, with a first-rate Khergit bow hanging around his waist, two large bags of sharp and slender barbed arrows on his back, a pair of nomadic animal leather boots, and a lightly equipped and handsome white horse.
He looks very intimidating without even getting angry, and he seems to be keeping strangers away.
Damn, the way he swears makes him sound like a rude and uncouth man.
"Respected Nayan Tulu, our lord, hello. They are passing by and came to buy food and drinking water. They also helped us solve the invasion of wild beasts."
The lord was not in his fiefdom and had no time to take care of the problem of so many wild beasts. It should have been a good thing to have outsiders to help deal with this scourge.
But Nayan Tulu, who was suspicious by nature, did not think so. Instead, he became even angrier.
"Young man, who gave you permission to meddle in the affairs of our village? Did I ask you to exterminate the beasts? I am very angry that you are trying to build your reputation and honor in my territory like this! Now, get out!"
De Lassel clearly felt that the other party had ill intentions, but when he looked at the troops behind Yantulu, there were at least 80 people.
There were about 20 of the two fourth-tier advanced cavalry, the Kugit veteran mounted archers and the Kugit lance knights, in the troops behind Nayan Tulu.
Well, if a fight really happens, our chance of winning is 0. De Lassel thought very clearly in his mind and could only give in at this moment.
"Please forgive my presumption and self-assertion, Nayantulu. We will leave now and will not cause you any more trouble or get in the way."
"Wait a minute, you haven't answered my question yet, what's your name?"
If I tell you my name, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the Kingdom of Swadia and myself...
De Lassel wanted to get away with it, but he didn't expect that the simple-minded Safiya would jump out.
"You are such a bearded old uncle, your attitude is really bad! De La Serre, why are you afraid of him? Teach him a lesson!"
"Oh, so you are De Lacel, the new lord of Uxhall and its subordinate villages. I have heard about your story, that you killed your father and brother. Aren't you ashamed of having won power with family affection and blood?"
Hearing this, De La Serre's face darkened, and a hint of murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
Safiya was completely unaware of these things and was a little surprised for a moment.
"Then Lord Yantulu, if you don't know the truth, please don't make assumptions and talk nonsense."
"So what if you're just talking nonsense? What can you do to me, a bird-egg lord with no soldiers and no money? If the kingdoms weren't at peace now, my troops would have overwhelmed you long ago. You should thank your dying King Harlaus. If he had started a war, I'd make sure you'd be beheaded!"
This bastard was so arrogant that De La Serre didn't dare to underestimate him and turned on the system.
【Nayan Tulu】
[Level 28, Strength 28, Agility 30, Wisdom 8, Charisma 12. ]
[Proficiency in bows, crossbows, throwing weapons, poles, etc. is 250. ]
["Archery 6", "Throwing 6", "Horse Archery 6", "Horse Riding 6"]
Good man, I really have no chance of winning at the moment...
A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. Things may change over time. I will take my revenge later!
But the feud has been formed today!
De La Ser nodded slightly and said:
"Then Lord Yantulu, if there is nothing else, please allow our people to leave."
"Humph, you are indeed the lackey of that old man King Harlaus. You are just as timid as before and don't even dare to fart. Get out of here! Get out of here!"
Safiya was really fed up with this rude bearded man. She was about to explode but was stopped by De Lassel.
He leaned over to Safiya's ear and whispered, "Now is not the time to cause trouble..."
Just as the group was about to leave, another infuriating incident occurred.
Nayan Tulu came here to collect taxes. Without saying a word, he picked up the horse whip in his hand and swung it at the villagers in Xiko village.
"You lowly people, pay your taxes now! Line up door to door, 50 dinars per person!"
