Chapter 28 The Horn Calls the Rangers

"Sarah, Ralph calls himself a knight captain under Earl Oden, not a knight... This is the problem itself. Ordinary knights will never introduce themselves like this..."

Indeed, the average knight would state his or her name directly, and at most mention his hometown or territory, such as "Knight of the Far Country Territory" or "Lord of Jialing Village".

But he definitely wouldn’t call himself a ‘Knight Commander’.

Knights who are loyal to the great nobles do not have the title of knight commander - at most they have the title of chief knight.

Titles like knight commander generally appear in local armed forces, that is, in various knights. It is a position within the knights, rather than representing a noble status.

Moreover, as we all know, it is impossible for a nobleman not to fly the family flag.

Especially a leading knight who needs to lead an army and face life, death and hardships.

The lower the aristocracy, the more knights will use their coat of arms everywhere - this is a testimony of a lifetime of honor, and his descendants will enjoy the blessings he earned on the battlefield for generations to come, which is worth boasting about.

If you really meet someone who doesn't have a flag, then at best they haven't had time to make it, just like Li Ang now.

Li Ang had only left the House of Lords for a few days. He really didn't have time to think about making a flag, not that he didn't want to use it - without a flag, the enemy lords would probably think that you were not a noble but an illegal armed force. If you bumped into him on the battlefield, they would

He's going to kill you.

Flags can save lives in this day and age.

The nobles may have relatives with each other, and no one knows whether the temporarily hostile parties will become allies later, so there is a tacit understanding between the nobles. Unless they commit suicide or die accidentally, otherwise they only need to surrender in time.

You can save your life.

And there is almost no one like Ralph who, as the commander of the garrison, does not fly his own flag - unless he is not a noble and does not have the right to use the flag.

Sarah recalled it carefully, and then expressed her approval of Li Ang's observation and memory.

"Maybe he is indeed a civilian. But sir, what does this have to do with letting him buy this camp?"

The agreement was only for Li Ang's keen observation. Sarah didn't understand Li Ang's intention, and her delicate face was full of confusion. How to negotiate this business?

I'm afraid this lord's foreign affairs officer is not very easy to be...

"A civilian has become the commander of the Changhe Town garrison. He can command thousands of people. What do you think is the greatest possibility? Moreover, he is also a so-called knight commander."

Li Ang shook his neck and asked Sarah.

"It means that he is not an ordinary civilian... nor is he a knight in the conventional sense... Wait, sir, you mean, he is the knight captain of the Horn Call Rangers?"

Sarah understood somewhat, and this was the only explanation.

Changhe Town has a unique armed force, which is a powerful force that patrols and protects the border. It is also the basic force for the rise of Earl Oden.

This unit is called the Horn Call Rangers.

After Duke Alfred of the Lion usurped the country and established his own country, most of the knights loyal to the old Kingdom of Pendor were forcibly banned, leaving only the Knights of the Lion, a national knighthood.

The Lion Knights may indeed be powerful, but the Lion Kingdom once faced the invasion of the Bacchus Empire in the south, pirates in the west, and Jatu people in the east at the same time, making the only legal knight order in the territory exhausted.

Changhe Town was still a border at that time, and the northeast was the vast Jatu grassland. The Jatu people's cavalry often entered Changhe Town to burn, kill, and loot.

These prairie barbarians are extremely powerful in fighting and their looting methods are extremely terrifying - they will steal all women and property, including food and tools.

Except for women whom they regard as property, any male taller than the wheel will be slaughtered.

Moreover, the Jatu people, all of whom were cavalry, came and went like the wind. By the time the lords from various places came in a hurry with their armies, the Jatu people had already returned with their loads.

This kind of unscrupulous robbery finally made some local knights in Changhe Town intolerable, and they spontaneously formed the Horn Call Ranger Group to deal with the Jatu people.

These knights will patrol the border of Changhe Town in small teams. Once the Jatu Cavalry is discovered, the patrol team will blow the horn they carry with them and launch a charge.

The nearby knight squad will rush to support immediately after hearing the sound of the horn.

This efficient mobile defense system successfully prevented the Jatu people from plundering border villages. The Horn Call Rangers have since become famous, and these knights have become the patron saints of the local people.

At the same time, it has also become the official default legal knighthood of the Lion Kingdom.

As for Earl Oden, it is said that he received the full support of this armed force - Oden is a native of Longhe Town. He may have been a member of the Horn Call Rangers, and he may even be the grand leader.

Over time, the Horn Call Rangers have gradually developed into a very distinctive group. They will wear the iconic green armor and match their horses with green vests - in the grasslands and forests, this protective color allows them to be more effective in scouting battles.

and gain the upper hand in encounters.

At the same time, with the victory after victory, the territory of the kingdom - or the jurisdiction of Changhe Town gradually entered the border of the grassland. They began to introduce a large number of various good horses for breeding and breed Changhe Town's unique geldings.

This kind of war horse that does not go into heat, is not easily frightened and is extremely docile allows them to have an upper hand even in riding and shooting when facing the Jatu people who are good at riding and shooting.

This was probably the reason why after Ralph heard about the Jatu Centurion, he thought it was "natural" to capture or kill the Jatu cavalry.

They do have the ability to kill those Jatu raiders quickly.

Although it is also known as the Knights, there is a significant difference between the Horn Call Rangers and other knights on the mainland - their core members are not necessarily noble knights.

As long as they are determined to protect their homeland and have sufficient skills, any citizen in Changhe Town can start as a sentinel and gradually become a core member of the Horn Call Rangers.

In contrast, this knighthood does not particularly care about status, which may have something to do with Count Oden.

Of course, the grand leader can still only be a noble.

Ralph, the knight commander, must be like this - he is not a noble knight in the general sense, but the 'knight commander' of the Knights of the Call of the Horn.

This is actually rare. There are still a large number of nobles in the Horn Call Rangers. Ralph must have an extremely outstanding record to become the leader of those nobles.

"Sarah, do you think it would be difficult for Ralph, as a commoner, to face a power struggle between two high-ranking nobles in a place like Long River Town?"

Li Ang twisted his neck and said slowly.

Sarah was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood: "Sir, it seems that Ralph is not very good at being a bureaucrat, otherwise he would not be beaten by you... he would not provide you with so many supplies..."

Li Ang smiled and nodded: "That's right, he is a warrior, an outstanding warrior. I can see that his skills are probably better than Klose... The stage that belongs to him should be the border battlefield, not

Intrigue among nobles."

As he said that, he looked at Sarah, but there was no businessman's philistine in his eyes, but instead he was a little worried.

"Sarah, I think you can convince him to buy this place that the Jatu people must pass through to station his elite sentries...Here, he will probably become the second Earl of Oden!"

Sarah's eyes gradually opened wide, and the smart vixen had already thought of the meaning of Li Ang's words.

"Sir, do you think that the Jatu people's army will launch a massive attack on the Lion Kingdom from here?!"
