Chapter 221: Return and Advance
Richard pulled the men and horses brought out of the Boulder Fort and shook around the city in the woods, taking away all the soldiers and horses he could take.
Compared with the Boulder Castle, the situation in the city in the forest is even more painful for Richard, not to mention the dragon that can recruit green dragons and golden dragons, and now he has not even figured out how to meet the conditions of the forest holy land for recruiting unicorns.
In order to select a female elf hero who can be the city lord of the elf forest, Richard even asked Al, the half-elf hero who had already taken refuge in him, to find a group of half-elf girls who met the basic conditions to gather and let him choose, Richard now can't forget Al's expression at the time, and he was looking at Richard with the eyes of a hungry ghost in the color, but fortunately, Richard took a few minutes to watch this group of half-elf girls and found that they didn't meet the requirements, and then let them go back, so as to keep the character intact.
Thinking of this, Richard had a headache, although the building conditions of Cloudsdale were difficult, but there were traces to follow, the most difficult thing was to pull the king off the horse and change his own avatar on the kingdom's Jinnar,
But this holy place in the forest wants a pure elf girl to be the lord of the city, it is very difficult for Richard, Richard wants to take the half-elf indiscriminate number and can't find a person who matches the gender and has to be a hero, sometimes Richard will stare at Al with bad intentions, thinking how good it would be if this guy was a woman.
I can't think of a way for the time being, Richard can only pull the men and horses under his command to rush towards the wilderness again, he must deal with the snow giant's affairs in order to obtain enough magic energy crystals, and now there are more systematic tasks on his body, so Richard is not in a hurry, along the way, the human soldiers of those castles and the elven soldiers recruited by the city in the forest are okay, not dazzling, and the leaders of the Hunter family have long been used to it.
It's just that the nearly ten-meter giant still caused fear among the people, and Richard had no choice but to summon the Flying Dragon King, fly a short distance above the giant's head, and show himself in the most obvious place,
In this way, the lords looked twice, and found that the giant seemed to have been obediently following behind their own lord, and finally realized that the giant was their own person, at least they listened to the lord, and it should not be dangerous, as for why there would be one more giant under their lord's command, it can only be said that their lord is wise and martial, and what kind of creature is not normal to worship under his own lord, but even if he understands that the giant should be a new subordinate of the marquis, these lords don't dare to observe a little closer than before, Before they became familiar with it, most people still had an instinctive fear of such a large creature.
Richard relied on the way to highlight himself in the most conspicuous position, barely eliminating the fear of the giants along the way, so that there would be no riots, but Richard found himself as if he and the giants formed a strange picture,
How does it feel a bit like praising the father day by day?
Shaking his head, Richard threw this strange brain hole out of his head and continued to speed up his march back into the wilderness.
Although this time it is not as fast as riding the Wyvern King when he came, he is carrying all system soldiers, and he can perfectly enjoy the bonuses of treasures such as knight's gloves and divine boots, plus this is only an elite team, and the marching speed is several times faster than when he first went, and after less than three days of day and night, Richard returned to the central plain of the wilderness.
The arrival of the giants also caused a small commotion among the remaining armies, the existence of giants is known to humans, but the places where giants live are completely isolated from human humans, and most humans are in a state that they have never heard of.
However, the ogres and kobolds in the wilderness occasionally encounter snow giants hunting on the edge of the wilderness, and they still have a little understanding of this species.
However, the performance of the soldiers made Richard quite satisfied, seeing the huge giant approaching, the soldiers did not escape, the commotion was just for the action of handling weapons, in just a few breaths, many pikemen who were still resting just now had already picked up their spears of more than three meters and began to try to form a formation,
There are also soldiers who operate bear hunting crossbows, who have removed the cover from their crossbow gear and are ready to push it out.
Fortunately, at this time, Richard flew to a conspicuous position in a very timely manner, and Richard, who was worried that the soldiers would not recognize him, also pulled out the Vulcan sword, igniting a fighting spirit, and urging a tongue of fire with very obvious personal characteristics.
"It's Lord Richard!"
"Stop, stop!"
"It's Lord Richard!"
Seeing the appearance of the giant, in the past few breaths, even Quill and Kerry have sweated, only Ron and Elena look indifferent, they recognize what it is, and naturally know that it must be something made by the lord again, and they still sit calmly by the fire and soaking mutton.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
The giant came to the edge of the barracks under the watchful eyes of the crowd, and Richard descended to the middle of a group of high-ranking officers on the Wyvern King, and came down to give orders.
"Ron, Zebull, Hardman have brought the people and prepared to go with me, Elena, you are also here."
"Koren will prepare the spies to lead the way, and let Haba set off with a few thousand sturdy kobolds."
"It's my lord!"
"So, what about us?"
Although Quill and Kerry didn't know what Richard was trying to do at this time, they could clearly know that this was a military operation and wanted to hear what their mission was.
"You two lead the Flying Bear Army and the Tiger and Leopard Army to guard the central flat of the wilderness, and then count the harvest, and guard the spoils, so as not to let other ogre tribes take the opportunity to rob any benefits."
Of course, Richard's arrangement is also well thought out, the Flying Bear Army and the Tiger and Leopard Army are still mainly ordinary soldiers, and it can't be said that it is useless to take them to crusade against the snow giant, after all, there are many ants that can still bite the elephant to death, but after all, they may have to suffer a lot of losses, and now the losses of the two armies are not low, there is no need to go again,
Second, so many seizures will definitely not be able to be moved for a while, and Richard also took a fancy to this piece of feng shui treasure land selected by Grugersh, he wants to realize the rule of the wilderness, and the central plain of the wilderness is so dead, he doesn't want to leave by himself, and he finds that another ogre tribe has come here to destroy and rob his things, and it is also necessary to keep people guarded,
This time, he only planned to bring the elite forces such as the system army and the Red Flame Knights as combat power, and brought Haba and a large number of strong kobolds to be able to immediately mine the magic energy crystal to use, and the second army of the flying bear, tiger and leopard was used as a left-behind force, and he took a break here for a while.
"Stay where you are, be vigilant, and keep our booty."
"Yes, Lord Marquis!"
Richard ordered that Quill and Kerry could only respond, but they were a little disappointed in their hearts, and they were somewhat regretful when they answered.
"Be vigilant to me, although Grugosh and the four major tribes are gone, there is more than this ogre in the wilderness, and there is a problem with military law!"
"Yes, Lord Marquis!"
Although there are still hundreds of thousands of ogres in the wilderness, but after the death of Grugersh, they have been completely reduced to a plate of scattered sand, except for the four major tribes, the other tribes have completely degraded back to the primitive civilization state, and there is no body strong but it is impossible to pose much threat to the two armies left behind, but Richard still wants to wake up Quill and Kerry.
Hearing the word military law, both of them came back to their senses, and their voices were much louder in reply.
Richard saw that it was almost over, and after a few words, he rode on the Red Flame Horse and left, because there were not many people who needed to be dispatched, just ten minutes ago, the men and horses he ordered had been assembled, and the Red Flame Knights and the squire cavalry sat neatly on the horse under the leadership of Hardmen.
The system army was even faster, and soon after Richard gave the order, the formation was completed, and the system army under Richard at this time was:
Centaur Elite (305), Halberd (320), War Dancer (280), Marksman (350), Elf Archer (144), Royal Griffin (184), Silver Pegasus Warrior (48), Crusader (120), Phantom Archer (5), High Monk (33), Deadwood Warrior (33), Diamond Man (2), Champion Knight (7), Scorpioncore (1), Giant (1).
Although Richard replenished the army for two weeks, because of the previous battle, the halberders, centaurs and war dancers suffered serious losses, and after being replenished, the number was still a little less than before the war, and even the crusaders had losses, not to mention these low-level troops, but the number of ranged troops was relatively well protected, and the number of ranged troops increased steadily.
Most of the army was taken by Richard, only the Deadwood Guards were left in the city in the woods as a barrier to the forest north of Hunter's house because they were more suitable for jungle warfare and had difficulty moving, and the poisonous scorpion lion was placed in the Demon Suppression City, as the power of the earth level to stay behind to prevent any accidents in the event that the army of the Demon Suppression City poured out.
Looking at the small number of but absolutely powerful troops in front of him, Richard was also full of confidence, what snow giants, what strange changes, can they still stop my giants, can they still block the charge of my champion knights, and can they still stop me......
"Boom!"
Drawing his sword and pointing obliquely, Richard shouted:
"Let's go!"
The army followed Richard in order and began to march, only the thousands of kobolds hanging at the end of the line still looked a little cowering, which was slightly unworthy of the temperament of this army...
