Throne of the North
Chapter 222: The Griffin in the Sky, the Duke on Earth
In the end, Harrington did not take out the beast bow, because a head was exposed on the gryphon.
After seeing the team below, the griffin quickly fell down and retracted its wings with a wingspan of more than seven meters. The griffin was still as huge as a bison.
Such a huge bison is not scary, but it is a lion.
It can fight in the sky and is the most powerful eagle. It can also roar on the ground, no less than a lion.
This is the griffin. When there is no dragon, the griffin is the best mount for amphibious combat in the sky and on land. And because the dragon is usually violent and has a bad temper, the griffin is the perfect mount that the knights most dream of.
Not one.
Yes, there is no one. If there is a ranking list of dream lovers in the knight's heart, the dragon will also be ranked below the griffon.
Because of this, Grand Duke McReynolds is not only the most powerful nobleman in the Kingdom of Andara, but also famous throughout the Norris Continent.
Many knights dream of joining the command of Archduke McReynolds and becoming the other party's knight squire, because then they will have the opportunity to turn a griffin into their own mount.
This is not the only mountain range on the continent that breeds griffins, but it is too difficult to find griffins elsewhere and turn them into mounts.
"Are you from the Tundra Territory?"
The knight on the gryphon looked down haughtily at Harrington and the others. He saw that the mounts under this cavalry team were substitutes for war horses and were a bit too small.
But if you can get so many war horses, do all the barons in the empire have such strength?
"I am Falk Thorne, and the Archduke has sent me to guide you so that you will not go in the wrong direction."
Of course, we must be wary of any possible consequences of large-scale arms transportation being noticed by the Andala Kingdom. He is the only one here, but there are many griffon knights in the wide surrounding area.
Everything is for the sake of secrecy. Even Grand Duke McReynolds cannot bear the consequences of the nobles of the Kingdom of Andara smuggling arms and weapons from the empire.
"Harrington Clayton, I am the deputy commander of the Tundra Territory. Are these things being traded here?"
Harrington said in a neither humble nor condescending manner, and then looked at the other party. He came alone. Of course, Fokker Thorne couldn't take away these dozens of cars of weapons.
"Follow me."
Knight Fokker didn't say much. The next moment the griffin took off and flew at a low altitude to guide them in the direction they were going.
After clearing the jungle, Harrington and others were surprised to find that this road actually existed in the mountains.
"It seems that the Grand Duke has absolute control over the Griffin Mountain Range."
Soon, the team appeared in a camp, which was a military camp in a valley. There were eight hundred soldiers stationed inside. Although they were only wearing rough leather armor, they seemed to be well-trained.
"You hand over to them."
Knight Fokker fell off the griffin. He didn't need to take out any tokens. The army commander in the camp had already walked up with a smile. The griffin was the best token here.
Carriages entered the camp one after another. When the linen that blocked the view was pulled away, cold weapons appeared in front of everyone.
Visibly, the soldiers in the camp were breathing heavily.
Even the Fokker knight put away his arrogance at this moment and came to a carriage excitedly.
The boxes here were opened, and they were all knight swords. He picked up one of them, and the sunlight shone down, and the cold light reflected made him extremely excited.
"nice one!"
He looked at Clayton and said with admiration:
"Your forging craftsmanship is indeed very impressive."
Just this weapon was of higher quality than the knight's sword he used.
And there is a carriage here.
"Check it and stamp it here."
Harrington didn't say anything. These things were not scarce in the Tundra Territory. The knight's sword in his hand could cut off the ones held by the opponent.
He took out a piece of parchment with the departure time written on it, as well as how many knights' swords, how many spears, and how many half armors Deku had.
At this moment, Harrington wrote the arrival time with the blood of some kind of beast, inspected the acceptance quantity, and everything matched.
Knight Fokker was stunned for a moment.
"Can this still happen?"
Obviously, it was his first time to see this kind of handover.
"It's all about safety, isn't it?"
Harrington laughed. Even within the empire, there were not many such methods, let alone the Kingdom of Andara.
The gap between a kingdom and an empire is not just about military strength and land territory.
Frank left his handprint on the parchment. He couldn't write, but it was enough.
After putting away the parchment, Harrington also felt relaxed.
"You guys move your things quickly. We have to leave quickly. Shunlian would like to ask, which is the closest aristocratic territory to the Kingdom of Andala?"
"Continue to go east here, take the outside road, and after leaving the mountains and forests, you will find the territory of Viscount Fragoso."
Fokker replied that the good quality of weapons made him enthusiastic about Harrington. If he established a good relationship, he might be able to get better weapons and equipment in the future.
For knights, this is a necessity second only to a mount.
But he was still a little curious.
"Aren't you going back? Are you still going to stay in the Kingdom of Andara?"
He was a little puzzled. This transaction was not open to the public. They wished that the people from the frozen land would just leave after they came.
Didn't you see that this time, he, a griffin knight, was in charge of the handover, and no nobles were involved?
Those nobles were also afraid that the matter would be leaked.
"Of course, we came to the Andara Kingdom to buy food. Now we are just lost. If we can't buy food and go back, the baron will blame us and we will all be punished."
Harrington smiled. In the words of Master Ryan, this is business. Since it is business, how can we go back empty-handed after coming with a full car?
"You will be exposed. Last time your people came to the kingdom to buy food, many nobles already knew the news."
After all, the Grand Duke is just a Grand Duke, not the king of this land. Many news cannot be blocked.
"Isn't that just right?"
Harrington said:
"We are here to buy food. If we don't have food when we go back, someone in the territory might wonder what we did."
"You are afraid of being discovered by the royal family and other nobles of the kingdom, and our lord is also worried that the empire will discover this transaction."
"Which do you think is more terrible, the punishment of the kingdom or the punishment of the empire?"
Harrington asked, but Knight Fok could not answer.
Although he was not a noble and didn't know many things, he also understood that the empire would definitely not be willing to subsidize the nobles in the kingdom.
Especially not in the name of the empire.
