Chapter 35 Different Treatments
Flynn Adele, the descendant of a pioneering hero thirty years ago and the daughter of a knight family.

She has natural red hair, which is extremely rare in the kingdom. With a face that is far more charming and seductive than that of an ordinary village woman, she is indeed confident as a woman.

In Rhodes' memory, the former lord of Storm Bay in the kingdom's east port, Duke Clark, was famous for his red hair.

Use it as a symbol of a pure-blood family.

He was the uncrowned king of the East China Sea a hundred years ago. His name alone was enough to fill the pirates of the archipelago with nightmares.

Although the Clark family had long since fallen apart and withdrawn from the kingdom's historical stage,

But the glory that once passed down has not disappeared, and the nobles of East Sea Port still regard marrying a red-haired noble lady as a family honor.

The families of Knights Flynn and Loren are not native to the Duchy, but immigrants who came here to explore the land.

Considering that Flynn's daughter Lucia could have inherited red hair.

Their ancestors might really be branches of Duke Clark, with noble storm blood flowing in their veins.

If Flynn was born in East Sea Port, she would be the daughter of a fallen knight.

I believe there are still many Viscounts of the East China Sea who are willing to marry this beautiful red-haired woman.

They expected red hair to run in the family, and using this as proof, they added a noble storm pattern to their family crest.

Unfortunately, this is the Northern Frost Principality, a snowy field with galloping white horses.

The raging sea storm could not blow away the majestic fortress, leaving only a faint breeze, and few people cared.

Flynn was proud of her beauty, but in the end, only a barbarian baron from the border took a fancy to her.

In Rhodes' eyes, apart from the courtesy of visiting as a guest, the Mrs. White in front of him was now only ugly.

The harsh cold wind from the north left traces of time on her face, and even with thick white powder, the blemishes could not be covered up.

Instead, it looks as disgustingly pale as a corpse soaked in water.

Appearance was secondary, after all, Rhodes had watched his sister Alice grow up since she was a child.

Compared to his own outstanding looks, Alice, who inherited blonde hair and light golden eyes, is flawless in appearance.

It’s just that because she is still young, only twelve years old, her beauty still remains at the innocence and cuteness of a girl.

But it was enough to make Rhode start to be face-blind after getting used to it. When he looked at other women, he only had two feelings:

Pleasant to the eye and unpleasant to the eye.

What really disgusted him was that stinking soul.

He recalled the intelligence his men had gathered on the investigation of Mrs. White, and the girls who had been killed by her by scratching their cheeks.

There is no doubt that the other party is the type that he dislikes the most.

Rod picked up the knife.

Before Flynn leaned closer and put her hand on his neck, the knife was pressed against her cheek.

The layers of white powder on the cheeks were cut open, and the powder residue scattered on the ground.

The cold touch on the sensitive skin of her face made Flynn freeze in her tracks, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Especially when blood seeps out from the contact point of the knife and soaks into the white powder.

She suddenly realized that there was a wound on her perfect face!
The rage made her face unable to maintain its expression any longer and it was completely distorted.

"Go back to your room." Rhodes ignored her anger.

Without Mansaru standing behind her, this woman is nothing.

After I come back from Broken Dragon Fortress and understand the Grand Duke's reaction, I will just find an accident to make her die.

Rhodes was speechless when he noticed the deep hatred in the woman's eyes before she left.

Her emotional management is too poor. How did she control Mansaru?
Could it be true love? Thinking that this kind of thing, which was almost extinct among the nobles of the kingdom, appeared in a barbarian baron.

Rhodes suddenly felt sad for him.

The next morning, outside Hekou Town.

In the direction of Pingdingshan, Holmes was coming with a team of cargo carriages to hand over to the merchant Adrich's convoy.

While the food was being sent to Pingdingshan, the spoils taken from the Wolf Chief's soldiers were transported to the fortress for recovery.

"Sir, Noah and the remaining knights will temporarily take charge of the order of the territory. Everything is normal. You don't need to worry."

Holmes came to Rhodes and reported the situation in Pingdingshan.

Rhodes nodded. The construction process on Pingdingshan had already been determined in advance.

All the residents have to do is follow the instructions, and there will be no trouble even if I am not there temporarily.

Holmes came to temporarily take over the river mouth town while Rhodes went to Broken Dragon Fortress.

The thirty shield-spear soldiers who came with Rhodes would be left to him.

On the way back to the fortress, Rhodes would follow Adrich's caravan, taking only two knight squires and the guarded Knight Loren.

There are still too few people under my command.

Rhodes sat in the carriage, looking at the river mouth town gradually disappearing from his sight, he thought to himself.

Currently, the only two people who can help him manage the territory are Noah and Holmes.

They were all knights, and had followed him all the way from Jianling.

Whether it is strength, qualifications or loyalty, he is worthy of trust.

The remaining twelve knight attendants can only serve as assistants. As managers, they lack prestige and are prone to causing trouble.

As for Whitebread and Sabertooth Tiger, although they have status in the army, it is somewhat excessive to expect them to manage the territory.

Whitebread will treat the granary as his own, and the saber-toothed tiger may treat the entire territory as its own granary.

Before Pingdingshan was completed, the territory was so small that the problems were not obvious.

But with what's happening next, like now.

In order to temporarily manage the estuary town, Rhodes had to call Holmes over, leaving Pingdingshan empty.

It would be difficult to train a knight's squire into a knight in a short period of time, so he had to start considering recruiting knights from outside.

Rhodes turned his gaze to Knight Loren beside him.

The latter was wearing a knight's uniform, sitting upright with his eyes closed.

Knight Loren's father was once a strong archer in the kingdom's pioneering army, and was awarded the title of knight for his outstanding achievements on the battlefield.

As a family inheritance, Knight Loren became an elite knight specializing in bows and arrows.
When he was in Hekou Town, he often taught the villagers in the hunting group archery to facilitate their hunting.

This is in line with Rhodes' current military needs.

If the army can absorb the population of Hekou Town, it will definitely expand.

In terms of soldier training, the shield and spear formation can allow the current shield and spear soldiers to train the new ones, with Holmes serving as the instructor.

As Rhodes's guiding knight, he has dabbled in Rosa's shield and spear formation, swordsmanship, close combat and other military skills.

But his archery skills are only satisfactory, not proficient.

If Rhodes wanted to form a crossbow corps later, he would need a knight instructor to train soldiers for him.

His focus is on wizard knowledge, so he can't waste too much time on the army and personally guide the soldiers' training.
