Chapter 265: Return to the Heart
It was close to evening, the sun had just set in the west, and before the mountain had set, the soldiers of the system were carefully cleaning the battlefield, treating the wounded, and by the way, mending the stabs to the orcs who were not dead.
And the orcs are no better than the poor ghosts of the ogre, these orc elites are all well-made heavy armor, and the battle axe is also made of high-quality iron, even if the size is not suitable, it can be changed slightly, and some tall quasi-knights are rationed or recast in the furnace, and the battlefield is still very interesting to clean.
In particular, the armor on the orc legion leader Nuno and his adjutant Raff is made of fine iron and some rare materials, and they have a little resistance to fighting spirit.
…
On the edge of the battlefield, Richard sat in a clearing, ignoring the bloody corpses not far away, and lit a cigarette.
In his previous life, Richard was an old smoker, but he didn't have a big addiction, as long as he didn't open the game, he only had three or four cigarettes a day, and he couldn't control it when he opened the game, after all, it was the gap between the super god and the super ghost.
But this thing hurts his body a lot, Richard in this life is relatively restrained, he has never touched it before he became an adult, and now he is a cigarette after fighting blood to relieve his tense nerves.
"Lord Marquis, if you try this, it is definitely a fine tobacco leaf."
Seeing Richard sitting in the open space smoking, Hardman, who was a little more familiar, naturally came over and lit a cigarette for Richard.
"Whew"
"Not bad!"
"Lord Marquis likes it, these leaves are all hand-picked by me, I have been helping my family pick tobacco leaves since I was a child, until I was sent to the knight academy in the royal capital, I plan to make a living from this, and the leaves I picked out are definitely no worse than those big people in the royal capital."
"It's a pity, the taste is still a little too rushed."
Richard took another puff and pointed out the inadequacy of the tobacco leaf.
"I'll pay attention to it the next time I pick it."
"This has nothing to do with the leaves, the rolling method of this cigarette is too primitive, some of it burns the lungs, and you can't smoke more."
The cigarettes here are some like the ancient dry tobacco in the previous life, and they are relatively primitive dry tobacco, and the taste is particularly strong, and Richard was a little unaccustomed to it at first.
"This cigarette has been done for generations, but it does hurt a little."
Needless to say, Hardman also felt it himself, this thing is somewhat depleted to the body, but when it comes to a strong person of their level, they can ignore this little damage.
Richard nodded, as if something had suddenly occurred to him, and turned to Hardman and asked:
"The smoke of the kingdom is all rolled up like this and used in a single layer of inhalation?"
"Huh?"
Richard's question made Hardman hesitate slightly, and only nodded after thinking about it in his mind, it seems that this has been the practice for so many years, and the upper nobles of the royal capital use it is similar to that in Richard's hand, which is already considered to be finely handled.
With a sudden reminder from Hardman, Richard suddenly thought about this problem for a while, and suddenly felt that this matter seemed to be profitable.
He can't make additives or anything, but the principle of what filter is relatively simple, and then make a little more detailed, don't be so rough, beautifully packaged, just two words "upstream." ”
I have to talk to the caravan about how much benefit this thing has, Richard knows very well in his heart, and now because of the market, a big spender, and Richard's slightly reckless military expansion, the Hunter family's finances have been in a tight state.
"Lord Richard."
Just as Richard and Hardmen sat together and soothed the fog, the orc Tarr came over with a bloody human head.
The smell of blood on Tár's body matched his identity as a half-orc, and Hadmen, who had just relaxed, almost drew his sword nervously,
Fortunately, Richard was very calm, so that Hardman did not really make any drastic moves.
Richard looked up at Tar, the human head in his hand should be the orc lieutenant Raf, although he already has only a head, his eyes are still round, and he looks dead.
"This is the head of the orc lieutenant Raf, please take a look..."
Tal is here to vote for him, and he also wants to probe Richard's attitude again, there is no place for him on the orc's side, and Richard's attitude is very important to him now.
"Well, come and sit, don't keep walking around with your head after the battle is over, the clerk will take note of your merits, and the merits that should be recorded will not be less than yours, under my hands, they are all their own people, and everyone will be treated equally."
After saying that, Richard beckoned Tal to sit down, and handed him a cigarette by the way, what Richard gave, Tal did not refuse, but quickly coughed,
Whether this thing is on the side of orcs or humans, although it is not exclusive to nobles, it has to be consumed by slightly richer people, and people like Tal who have struggled to survive since childhood have no chance to come into contact with it, and they are suffocated at the first bite.
"Hahahaha..."
Richard waved his hand to signal that Tal did not have to continue, and continued:
"From now on, you will be the commander of the orcs under me, responsible for recruiting the orcs to join the army."
There can be a thousand-person half-orc white wolf warrior group in the western realm, and Richard naturally won't mind using these half-orcs to fight, and even the more the better, with the existence of the half-orc hero Tár, the effect should be seen soon.
"Not only the orcs in the human kingdom, but also the orcs on the orc side, they can live a normal life under my rule in the future."
"Over there with the orcs?"
It's good that Richard doesn't mention it, as soon as Richard mentions the orcs on the orc side, Tar's guilt comes up again, in Tar's eyes, the importance of his sister Hypatia is the first, and the second is to try to improve the miserable life of the orc compatriots on the orc kingdom,
Now that he, a benchmark figure, surrenders, and when the news reaches the orcs, I am afraid that the situation of the half-orcs, who are already in an embarrassing situation, will be even worse.
"Yes, when we clean up the orc kingdom, the orcs over there will also have to rely on you to recruit them."
Richard naturally talked about cleaning up the orc kingdom, originally this kind of thing, even if it was said by King Wren, it was a bit of a rhetoric, but thinking of the strange soldiers around Richard, and the number of strong men far beyond the reasonable number, and the red dragon who was still resting on his stomach not far away,
The two listeners, Tal and Hadman, actually believed a point or two for Richard's bragging, maybe Master Richard could really do it?
"Do a good job, your road has been widened."
Richard threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, got up and patted Tal on the shoulder, and then said a serious word, then left the two and walked towards Ron,
He was going to give some more orders, and then go to the hall of the Parliament in Boulder Fort to receive the reward for this mission.
Although there are not many orc troops this time, the quality is higher than ever, two earth ranks, seven or eight orc warriors, and dozens of orcs, the reward should be considerable, and after receiving the reward as soon as possible, you can see the next task, maybe you can get some useful information...
