Warlord: King of All Clans

After taking a bath, Knight Solovy and a group of people came to the greenhouse to rest.

Several female companions had rosy complexions, dreamy eyes, and rosy cheeks.

She was only wearing a towel, which made several young men's hearts beat fast.

Next to the hot spring pool there are supporting facilities such as massage rooms, steam rooms and gyms, but the country people are very unfamiliar with them and dare not try them actively.

Ivan and Vichter only dared to glance at the young maids who were only covered with a light veil.

Freya and Fisa, the two furry friends, showed off the fruits and pastries they served.

Although the Petukhov family is traditional and old-fashioned and does not like the licentious atmosphere in today's aristocratic circles, they are not ascetic monks and have enjoyed all the aristocratic enjoyments.

Knight Solovy and Leo walked up to Norin, the former pounding his fist on his chest, "Knight Leopold, good day, I am Solovy Petukhov, a former member of the Knights of the Wind."

Norin quickly stood up and performed the same etiquette, "Good day, Knight Petukhov. I am Norin Leopold, a former member of the Order of the Rose and current member of the Order of the Griffin. You can just call me Norin, senior."

Knight Solovie turned his head and looked at the little mouse imprisoned in Olivia's arms. He knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "Your Highness."

The little mouse hid in Olivia's arms, at a loss.

Leo quickly grabbed Knight Solovy and said to Norin, "Let's talk over there."

The three of them sat down at the small reception table at the other end of the greenhouse. Leo continued, "Knight Norin, this is the guard I found for you. The journey to the imperial capital is long and full of dangers. I'm afraid it's not safe for you to take the princess alone. I will escort you to the imperial capital with Knight Solovy."

The situation in Hewan Territory is currently stable and everything is in order. One more or one less won't make much difference, so it is better to send the little mouse back to the imperial capital safely first.

If he could get some benefits from the emperor, it would be absolutely possible for Hewan County to become rich overnight, not to mention leapfrogging an ancient dynasty.

Norin's reaction was beyond his expectations. She lowered her head and said after a moment, "I came here only to verify the identity of Her Royal Highness the Princess. I didn't plan to take her back like this."

"..." Leo and Knight Solovy looked at each other, then looked at Norin quietly, waiting for her next words.

"I have been looking for the princess for the past two years, but I have always returned disappointed. The other Rose Knights who acted with me have also scattered all over the northern border."

"The princess's schedule is not that simple. It would be a very unwise choice for me to take Her Royal Highness back with me like this."

Leo couldn't help but ask: "So what are you going to do?"

Noreen planned: "There is a garrison of the Griffin Knights in the Fabados Mountains, less than 2,000 miles away from here. There is a 10-man Griffin Knight squad stationed there. I will hurry up and get there within 10 days. Then I will fly here with the Griffin Knights and take Her Royal Highness the Princess away."

"This place is about 4,000 miles away from the imperial capital, separated by two northern earldoms, more than ten southern viscounties, as well as wars and wilderness. It would take at least two months for the three of us to ride there with the princess, and there would be many unknown dangers along the way. But the griffins can fly back in a week."

Leo also saw the figure of the griffin in the little mouse's dream.

This flying giant has the head and wings of an eagle, the body and claws of a lion. When fully grown, it is nearly three meters long and has a wingspan of over six meters. It can fly in the sky carrying hundreds of kilograms of weight.

The Imperial Griffin Knights, also known as the Royal Griffin Knights, are an extraordinary order of knights that existed before the founding of the Orlantis Empire.

More than a thousand years ago, the Orantiri, the ancestors of the Imperials, tamed the wild griffins that lived on the cliffs of the southern coastline and gradually formed the Griffin Knights.

Unlike the other two extraordinary knight orders, the Griffin Knights had sufficient reserves of knights, and their size was limited only by the lack of qualified adult griffins.

Griffins are difficult to reproduce, and during the long process of artificial domestication, the strength of individual griffins gradually deteriorates. Not every artificially domesticated griffin can be used as a war mount.

Some inferior griffins can only serve as pack horses and messengers, except that they fly in the sky.

After the Empire's extraordinary knights successfully joined the Griffin Knights, apart from patiently waiting for the appearance of new griffin war beasts, they could only go to the cliffs of Orantiri Province to tame wild griffins by themselves.

But this is obviously not a wise move. The size and strength of wild griffins are far greater than those of domesticated ones, and their temperaments are extremely ferocious. Sharks in the sea and bison on land are their prey.

In order to tame a wild griffin, one needs to have the strength to at least beat the griffin with one hand, which is not something an ordinary extraordinary knight can do.

Currently, the Griffin Knights only have twenty squads, with a total of two hundred Griffin Knights in service.

The existence of the Griffin Knights is also one of the reasons why the Orlantis royal family has stood for a thousand years. There is almost no army that can resist the attack of the Griffin Knights.

For the army in the era of cold weapons, a griffin knight was like a helicopter.

Five hundred years ago, at its peak, the Griffin Knights had a thousand Griffin Knights and absolute air superiority, making them a horrific nightmare for any hostile force.

Most of the ground troops could neither defeat nor escape from the Griffin Knights, and leaving the castle would almost mean death.

It was in this context that the Western Territory was forcibly incorporated into the empire's territory.

Their most proud archer cavalry corps just happened to fall into the griffins' diet - the grassland cavalry's recurve bows could not shoot down the griffins with thick skin and enchanted armor.

Leo also thought Noreen's plan was a good one.

When he first saw Noreen appear, the first thing he thought of was: How can she protect her little mouse alone?

Where is the face of our imperial princess?

According to his traditional thinking, even without the protection of the imperial army, he would at least have to find a few trustworthy strong men to form an escort team to escort the little mouse back.

However, there are towering mountains and steep fortresses along the way, and we must avoid war-torn areas and go deep into the wilderness.

Traveling four thousand miles on horseback is definitely a difficult challenge, almost on the same level as the Lord of the Rings escort team.

But the griffin doesn't need to think so much. As long as it ensures its food and rest, it can fly straight to the imperial capital.

When he was a child, he watched Journey to the West and was very confused as to why the group of people seeking the scriptures didn't just fly over directly using the somersault cloud.

Later, when I watched The Lord of the Rings, I was also puzzled as to why the Fellowship of the Ring didn't just fly over there on a giant eagle.

Of course, only after rereading the classics can one understand the various reasons behind this.

But now, with flying units available, who wants to run on the ground?

As expected of the Rose and Griffin Knights, the elite of the Empire, they always think more thoughtfully than myself!

Leo nodded repeatedly, "This is fine, this is good, let's do as you say!"
