Chapter 138 Tieling Town
The wild knights, represented by Leonardo da Vinci and Kylian, will eventually transform into a new faction.
However, none of this matters. As a great man once said, "There are no parties outside the party, only imperial thinking; there are no factions within the party, only all sorts of strange things."
"Killian and Lucas will stay. The Royal Guard will be expanded to thirty men, divided into two detachments, each commanded by one person." Ron paused. "Da Vinci will be in charge of the entire team, and Fanta, you will be responsible for training standards."

The brief meeting ended over breakfast.
When Amy came out of the restaurant, she still looked bewildered and confused.
Mrs. Moriel smiled and patted Amy on the shoulder.
"You'll get used to it gradually. The young master likes to discuss things during meals. He often says, 'If one meal can't solve a problem, have another one.'"
Amy could only nod, unsure of what to do.
Mrs. Moriel carefully instructed, "Don't worry, the young master will definitely go with us when the construction takes place. After all, as a master architect, he will naturally be in charge of the construction. Your primary task is to arrange for the relocated residents to resume iron ore mining as soon as possible."
Amy then realized what was happening and quickly expressed her gratitude: "Thank you, Mrs. Moriel. I will not let the lord and you down."
Upon arriving here, she naturally understood the situation of the Women's Guard, which was somewhat similar in nature to the Rose Knights.
However, in Gorubakburg, the Rose Knights are one of the border lords' strongest weapons, while here, the existence of the Women's Guard provides women in the territory with a space for advancement.
This is because the total population of Ashwood Territory is already approaching 20,000.
However, the number of women reached a terrifying 16,000, while the number of men was less than 4,000.
This ratio was gradually increased by the fact that Duolong sent several hundred refugees every now and then, since more than 70% of the refugees sent each time were male.
Early the next morning, Ron, Amy, and Will headed to Iron Ridge, accompanied by Leonardo da Vinci and his new bodyguard.
Today, no one is stationed in Tieling Town. Due to mining, some houses remain for people to rest in.
It was only when Ron personally arrived in Tieling Town that he realized that during this period, the people in charge of mining would slowly repair the wooden fortress wall each time they came, using wood dismantled from the houses inside to make repairs.
When Ron arrived, he saw a group of ragged people with crude weapons destroying the city walls.
Someone stood on a large rock behind and shouted, "Everyone, give it your all! This stronghold is unguarded. Once we break through the gate, it will be our new territory!"
""
Ron almost laughed in anger when he saw this.
Without a word, Leonardo da Vinci drew his embroidered spring knife and roared, "Knights, charge!"
Thirty knights formed a wedge formation and cut in from the flank, the muffled thud of their hooves hitting the gravel ground like rolling thunder.
The defeated army didn't even have time to form a battle formation before they were scattered. Some were stabbed by spears, while others threw down their weapons and ran away.
More than thirty fully equipped knights attacked a defeated army of more than two hundred men, and in a single encounter, they routed the army.
Without a doubt, Ron figured it was the lord who, after the great purge, was leading his defeated troops back to Gorubak Castle when he came across this deserted fortress and decided to use it to make a comeback.
Among the two hundred-plus people were the elderly and the young; some used wooden sticks as crutches, while others wrapped their wounds with rags.
When they were crouching on the ground, some of them couldn't even hold their guns properly; they had really been shot apart.
A disheveled middle-aged man stood up. He was not intimidated by Leonardo da Vinci's sword. Instead, he calmly shouted, "I am the lord of Hall, and I want to talk to your lord."
,
Leonardo da Vinci frowned slightly, because he sensed a powerful life force emanating from the middle-aged man that far surpassed his own.
"Earth Knight!"
Killian and Lucas stood guard closely around Ron.
As for the defeated soldiers, after being cut down by more than a dozen men, they obediently squatted down with their heads in their hands.
"I am Lord Hall, Matic Hall!"
Ron sat quietly on his horse, looking down at him.
"and then?"
Matic felt humiliated looking at the young lord who hadn't even introduced himself.
But circumstances were beyond his control, and he was powerless to resist.
Although he possessed the cultivation level of a mid-stage Earth Knight, he had been fighting continuously during the Great Cleansing and had recently been traveling continuously, leaving him exhausted and only able to exert less than one-tenth or one-twelfth of his combat power.
"My territory has been breached. I hope this lord will cede it to me. I am willing to serve you faithfully in the wasteland from now on."
Ron laughed, and Leonardo da Vinci and the knights assumed fighting stances, ready to kill everyone present without leaving a single one alive.
Amy, however, was somewhat confused.
Ron said coldly, "I've been managing this territory for more than half a year. I only moved the people back to the main city recently because of the large-scale cleanup. You think you can just give it to me with a word? Who do you think you are? Do you want to try and see if your Earth Knights are tougher or if I've killed more Sky Knights?"
Matic's gaze swept over the thirty fully armed knights behind Leonardo da Vinci, Killian, Lucas, and Ron. Even the lowest-ranking knight was a formal knight, and the leader was the Earth Knight. He clenched his fist and then relaxed it.
"I apologize. I thought this was unclaimed territory, which is why I launched the attack rashly. Please, lord, show mercy. We are willing to compensate you."
Ron was somewhat surprised to see Matic so readily admit his mistake.
Amy then squeezed next to Ron: "My lord, I know this Mattich. He is a veteran Earth Knight of Gorubike Castle and was once a centurion of the Iron Shield Knights. However, he was an upright man and clashed with the Iron Shield Knights' Grand Master, Will Hamilton, many times. His family was also targeted by the Hamilton family and lost their livelihood. In the end, in a fit of anger, he asked the lord for a territory to lead his entire family to the Blackthorn Wasteland."
""
Ron glanced at the middle-aged man in front of him with some surprise, but before he could speak, he did so.
Amy then said:
"My lord, this happened five years ago. Hall Territory is one of the top five territories in the wasteland."
"Ron Adler!"
'
Ron has now publicly stated that Ashwood cannot be used yet.
What are your plans now?
Matic shook his head helplessly: "Our territory was attacked by the Great Dragon Tribe and eventually fell. In addition to the outside, it seems that the Dehea territory was also breached. However, they were lucky because they had built a castle in their territory, and they were able to defend it with the help of the castle."
""
Ron asked, "Which five territories are ranked in the top five of the wasteland?" At the same time, he waved to Leonardo da Vinci, who immediately tossed a water jug to Mattich.
Matic took the water bottle, took a sip, and said, "The first is the Valerius Territory. I heard that it occupies a certain canyon, grows a lot of rock potatoes, and has canyon passes to block it. It is recognized as the safest canyon in the wasteland. Hmm, it is similar to the canyon of the Earth Dragon Tribe. As for the size of the territory, no one has ever been inside, so I don't know."
