Chapter 223: The test of military strength, the result of overwhelming defeat

Finally, Harrington's one hundred cavalrymen were stationed in Viscount Fragoso's territory. As an imperial aristocratic army, they could not advance any further.

What remained was for Edward to lead his team to purchase grain in Fragoso's territory, and then send some people to purchase it from other nobles.

The circle of nobles was very small, and the trade of grain, although it was private, was a considerable source of income for the nobles in the Andara Kingdom. They certainly couldn't just watch Fragoso eat all the food.

This is also a way of dragging everyone down with it. It would be bad if Fragoso was accused of having secret dealings with the empire.

At other times, it would be fine if Viscount Fragoso had a big quarrel with those nobles, but recently...

The atmosphere in the Andara Kingdom is somewhat tense.

As the viscount of the kingdom, Fragoso did not show up, but Fragoso's eldest son, Diglan Fragoso, came forward to receive Knight Harrington from the Frozen Territory.

This eldest son was a knight who practiced fervently, but his talent was not very good. He was in his thirties and was still a silver knight.

To others, a silver knight in his thirties could be considered a child of destiny, but he was the eldest son of the viscount, and he possessed resources that no one else could compare to.

So, he is not very talented.

The most talented descendant in Viscount Fragoso's family is Mihaly. When a Sanctuary Knight passed by here in the kingdom, he said that Miss Mihaly has the potential to become a Sanctuary or even a legend in the future.

Just this one comment made Miss Mihaly a lord in the Viscount Fragoso's territory.

The kingdom is not an empire, there are not many legends here, and they are hard to see.

In a place like this, the status brought by strength will be more direct than that of an empire.

"Mr. Harrington, I have always admired the Empire's knight system. Can you tell me about the legendary knights in the Empire?"

Digran's eyes were burning. The soldier in front of him was actually a silver knight like him, which made him firmly believe that the knight training of the Empire was better than that of the Andara Kingdom.

He was the eldest son of the Viscount, but as he was only an heir, he could not be considered a noble, so it was natural for him to be close to Harrington, and it didn't matter if he was close to him.

Too many noble heirs would even team up with aliens when going on adventures.

"Sir Digran, how could I possibly know about the legend?"

Harrington smiled bitterly. The only legend he knew was Earl Clayton, but how could he reveal the news about Earl Clayton to others?

Not to mention that he was the monarch he once served, the Baron Ryan he is now loyal to is the child of Earl Clayton.

"There are also legends in the Andara Kingdom. Your father is a viscount, don't you know about it?"

Harrington was a little curious. Logically speaking, the status of this Viscount heir was much higher than his own, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to come into contact with the legend.

Could it be that he was grounded?

Digran was somewhat helpless.

"The legends of the kingdom no longer show up, and the royal family is very afraid of us nobles coming into contact with those legends. If I dare to go find a legend, the royal family will be extremely wary of the Fragoso family."

"How could this be?"

Harrington pretended to be surprised, but he remembered what Ryan said to him when he came here. "In the Kingdom of Andara, there are big problems between the royal family and the nobles, especially with the faction of Grand Duke McReynolds. If you have the chance, you can try to understand it."

Harrington didn't know how to describe how Master Ryan was so clear, but now that he had the opportunity, he certainly didn't mind making a contribution.

Although Master Ryan handed this matter over to the cat people.

"Alas, the Andara royal family is afraid that the power of us nobles will expand. Over the years, as King Andara has grown older, he has become more and more incompetent. I hope that things will get better after His Royal Highness succeeds to the throne."

If a legend becomes friends with a noble, or even stands on the noble's side, then that noble is bound to find ways to expand his wealth and power, but for the royal family, this would weaken their own interests and voice within the kingdom.

The problem is that the royal family cannot influence the thoughts of the legend.

This is the difference between an empire and a kingdom, or in other words, a big difference from the current weak Andara Kingdom.

In the empire, let alone if a legend stands on the side of a certain noble, even if a noble kills someone in the territory of a certain noble, he will be investigated.

For the Andara Kingdom, legend is heaven, but for the empire, legend will also die.

Is the Andara royal family afraid of the powerful transcendents and nobles joining forces? Harrington thought to himself, and couldn't help but look a little weird, because as an imperial man, this was hard for him to imagine.

Besides, Harrington is not a cunning person, and many things are subconsciously revealed on his face.

"Oh, right."

Finally, after asking the legend in vain, Digran remembered his purpose and interrupted Harrington.

"The soldiers of the Fragoso family have been a little proud recently. Can you please have a sparring match with the soldiers of the Fragoso family?"

Digran didn't look like a future noble at all. He asked directly, then took out a bag and put it in Harrington's hand. There were several monster crystal cores in the bag.

"I hope you can help me teach those guys a lesson. As their legion leader, I'm also having a headache."

Of course, what Digland said was nonsense, and he couldn't even be tactful.

Because when Harrington arrived at the military camp with a hundred knights and attendants, Viscount Fragoso and several other nobles stood at the window of the castle high up in the distance, looking down.

Their real purpose was to see what the army of the imperial nobles was like.

The empire was so powerful that it had no enemies except the Church and the orcs for so many years, and no other nobles knew what the imperial nobles' army looked like.

Harrington did not refuse, because this was also Ryan's order. Even if Digland had not mentioned it, Harrington would have found an opportunity to test it.

Ryan was also very curious about the strength of the nobles of the Andara Kingdom.

What kind of army could force the Andara royal family to sell out the interests of the kingdom?
"charge!"

In the military camp and the parade ground, Harrington held high the knight's sword in his hand, and behind him, hundreds of cavalrymen charged forward with wooden spears for training. The hundred cavalrymen trampled on the ground like thousands of troops. Just the indomitable momentum disrupted the formation of the 300 cavalrymen on the opposite side. After an encounter, seventy or eighty cavalrymen were pushed off their horses by the huge force and had to hold themselves to avoid being trampled.

On the other side, the hundred knights behind Harrington silently reined in their horses and turned around, looking at the battlefield full of wailing with cold eyes under their visors.

In the castle, Viscount Fragoso crushed the crystal glass in his hand at this moment.
