After leaving the mansion, Richard was led by his men to his temporary residence in Reef Fort, which was said to have been specially arranged by Sauron before he arrived.

Entering the temporary residence, Richard took a brief tour and found that it was even more luxurious than the residence arranged in Char Oscar.

Sets of silverware, chairs with gold ornaments, jeweled beds, furniture made by master craftsmen, antiquities that are rare to see on the market......

Although it seems that some of them have a strange style, after asking, I learned that it was part of the ransom sent by the Kingdom of Sika to redeem the officers and nobles who were defeated and captured under Sauron's hands. But in any case, it can be seen that this mansion is indeed attentive, and Sauron is not perfunctory to him, the command adviser who suddenly appeared, and has the respect that he should have in name.

Considering that at the previous Supreme Military Intelligence Conference, Sauron also accepted his suggestion and did not refute it, it seems that he has more power than he imagined.

To put it simply, what he said seems to be really useful.

Maybe the purpose of the Alliance Emperor and Oscar is not to make him a mere puppet?

Richard sat in a chair in his makeshift lodging, tapping on the gold armrests as he pondered the question.

Based on what he has seen and heard so far, he really doesn't look like a puppet, but then again, this may also be to make him a puppet more competent, so everyone cooperates with him in acting, but in fact, his words are not executed.

So, it's good to verify it.

Verify it.

It was not long before it was time for dinner, and after a sumptuous dinner, Richard walked to the bedroom and solemnly told his men that he should have a good rest, and that no one should disturb him until he left the room by himself.

"Yes. The subordinate replied solemnly.

"Good. Richard nodded, slammed, and closed the bedroom door.

The space inside the door, which is seventy or eighty square meters, is a suite, in addition to a resting place, there is a bathroom and a study.

Richard checked it and made sure there was nothing wrong, carefully arranged a few vigilance spells, walked to the side of the bed and lay down.

The body sank into the soft mattress, the eyes closed, the flesh sank, and consciousness rose.

A familiar tremor appeared, like a dandelion seed leaving the stem in a light wind, and Richard's conscious body easily detached from his body.

Quickly piercing through the roof, reaching the outside, rising and rising, glancing at the solemn guards of the temporary shelter, at the dreary reef fort, at the border with a large number of troops, Richard thought moved, and controlled the consciousness body to speed north.

Consciousness moves extremely fast, because there is no obstacle from the physical world, and it can easily break through the sound barrier and reach multiple times the speed of sound. Therefore, in a state of consciousness, one can quickly travel to any corner of the world.

Actually, it's not the fastest, the fastest is the exploitation of consciousness markers.

Richard experimented that as long as a place is familiar enough to be able to construct a place clearly in consciousness, it constitutes a mark of consciousness. Then just think about this location, and you can teleport to the corresponding location in an instant.

The clearer the build, the more accurate the location of the teleportation.

If the construction is vague, and you have only heard about a location from other people's mouths or materials, then the teleportation will produce a huge error, and it is better to "run" to the past honestly as it is now.

What is the principle involved in this, Richard is not very clear, and roughly guesses that it is related to the soul and the current rules of the world, maybe he can understand a thing or two after he can completely crack all the transcendent factors.

Thinking like this, as he continued to walk, Richard saw a crimson mountain range appear below his body, which was the so-called Bloodstone Mountain.

It was an important military city of the Soma Alliance, as well as numerous logistical strongholds, and was part of the border defense line, and because of the easy and difficult terrain to attack, the Sika Kingdom rarely attacked here. Who knows, this time the people of the Sika Kingdom will infiltrate from here. Although it did not conquer the military city, it destroyed a series of logistical strongholds, caused heavy losses, and broke through to the depths of the country's borders, where it continued to wreak havoc.

According to the plan made by Sauron, the raging army of the Sika Kingdom will not be long before it will be annihilated. And the tunnels that allowed the Sika Kingdom army to infiltrate are also being searched.

You can see that countless torches are lit on the ground at night, and many soldiers are looking for them all over the mountains, not letting go of any corner.

When I got closer, I could hear the loud roar of the soldier captain: "I told you that this group of weak chickens has been ordered to die, and the entrance to the tunnel must be turned out within two days, so they all give me wide eyes to search." If you don't work hard, believe it or not, I'll just transfer you to the front line and let you resist the attacks of the most elite Sika guys. ”

A group of second-line army soldiers who had hardly participated in any battles couldn't help but turn pale when they heard the words, and they were as quiet as cicadas.

"Did you hear it, squeak me!" the captain of the soldiers roared again.

"Yes, yes. The soldiers hurriedly replied.

"That's pretty much it. The captain of the soldiers nodded in satisfaction and directed the soldiers to continue to search ahead.

Richard, who was a conscious body, watched all this from the air, looked at it for a while, and then moved his mind and headed further north.

Flying all the way through countless second-line troops with torches and looking for the entrance to the tunnel overnight, they arrived in front of a mountain that looked like steamed buns.

This is the Blue Water Mountain, because there is a special kind of blue mushroom on the mountain, and when it rains, it dyes the rainwater that flows down the mountain blue.

Richard saw that there were also the same second-line army soldiers searching here with torches. They climbed the mountain from the south, slashing through the dense grass with their swords, staring for possible entrances to the tunnels.

Slowly they crossed the hill and walked towards the northern foot of the mountain, and when they reached the bottom of the mountain, they stopped and did not go any further.

Richard looked at it, and there was something moving in his heart.

If he remembered correctly, the original scope of Sauron's search plan was as far north as Bluewater Mountain. He was tentatively inclined to make a suggestion to explore five more miles north, and Sauron agreed.

But looking at the specific implementation, it seems to be inconsistent.

The consciousness body fell, and Richard was able to search for the soldiers' heads more than ten meters above, and could clearly see the faces of the soldiers and hear the soldiers' words.

At this time, a tall and thin soldier was turning his head and asking his captain, "Captain, is our search here over?"

"Yes, that's it, that's the scope set out above. It's enough for us to search the entire Bluewater Mountain, and beyond that, it's none of our business. The captain of the black strong soldier said.

"And what are we going to do next, Captain?" asked the tall lanky soldier again.

"Nonsense, what else can I do? Turn around and search again. I didn't listen to the orders given from above, I had to search for them within two days, and if I couldn't find them, I searched repeatedly within the specified range until I found them. The captain of the soldiers shouted.

"Well, yes. ”

"Alright, search again. The captain waved his hand and instructed a small group of soldiers to turn around and go back up the hill.

Richard looked at it and sighed: it seems that this command adviser of his really only exists in name, maybe there is a group of subordinates and the commander Sauron to accompany him to act, but the order will not be conveyed to the army below at all.

Thinking so, I was about to return when I suddenly saw a fire on a road to the east.

Then came the sound of horses' hooves, and a large group of cavalry approached at a gallop.
