Chapter 307: Reason

Naturally, it was Richard who caused a commotion outside the door, with Richard, including his own four units, he could only walk more than a hundred kilometers every time he teleported, and he had to stop and recover for an hour or two every time he used it, but when he recovered, Richard could summon the Flying Dragon King to take a few of his men to catch up with the road of one or two hundred kilometers, mainly because the ultimate hydra, which could only act on the ground, was somewhat dragging down the overall speed.

Natalis and the red dragon are fine, anyway, they are both high in the air, the ultimate hydra galloping on the ground really frightened a lot of people, this monster more than ten meters high, anyone who sees it has to tremble, fortunately, the ultimate hydra is just passing by, and does not show the intention to attack, it is estimated that the nobles who saw the ultimate hydra have reported the information layer by layer.

After a while, the information will be placed on Wren's table, and it's okay in the wild, after all, he has been on the road, and he has moved more than two hundred kilometers from time to time, and there are not many people he encounters, but when the hydra finally appeared in Bosey City, it was inevitable that there would be a riot, and even when Parley came out, his heart twitched when he saw the ultimate hydra, even if he guessed that this was a helper made by Richard, he was inevitably a little frightened, and several big knights behind Parley even pulled out their swords directly, staring nervously at the monster more than ten meters high outside the door.

Fortunately, Richard finally stood in front of the mansion with a tall woman, confirming Parley's suspicion and reassuring him a little.

"My dear brother-in-law, you're finally here, where did you get this big guy?"

In addition to doubts, there was also some envy in Parley's tone, the ultimate hydra was not a good-looking existence at first glance, ugly was ugly, but it was certain that it could fight, at least it was not something that a few big knights behind him could deal with.

Faced with Parley's question, Richard could only deal with it, and then directly shifted the topic to other places.

"How's it going?"

Seeing that Richard was reluctant to speak, Parley was also very interested in not dwelling on it anymore, and quickly shifted the topic to business.

"It's bad, the Sea Clan is no longer satisfied with just attacking ships and harassing ports, they have already captured several ports, and they continue to attack inland, their purpose is probably to turn dozens of miles along the coast of the sea into a no-man's land."

"How did they do it?"

Richard was a little puzzled when he heard this, the advantage of the Sea Clan has always been at sea and on land is actually not the opponent of human soldiers, a soldier who has received basic training and is fully equipped, can easily beat three or five Sea Clan soldiers, with the elusiveness of the sea, it is just a matter of attacking the fleet and harassing the port, and it is more than ten miles inland, shouldn't he be caught and beaten by the southern army? Could it be that the human armies in the south have degenerated to such an extent?

"Let's go inside, the Sea Clan's attack is a bit unusual this time."

Richard remained confused and walked into the council chamber with Natalis and Parley.

"His Highness Parley."

As soon as he entered the door, Richard saw a table of nobles with a somewhat similar temperament to the twelve families in the river valley, these people can be distinguished from the military nobles in the north and Longxi Pass at a glance, although everyone started with military merits in the early days, but the inheritance of these nobles in the south has been relatively early, and the commercial atmosphere in the south is strong, although the people sitting there are also good hands above the knight rank, but there is indeed a lack of a little iron and blood in it.

The only difference between them and the valley is that the kingdom's control over the south is not low, and the administrators and regular legions have no way to interfere, mainly through trade to maintain the family's huge expenses, at most tax evasion, and do not dare to reach out to the army.

Therefore, this time the Sea Clan is raging, and their performance is much more positive than when the group of people in the valley faced the ogre, after all, it has hurt their vital interests.

"This is Richard, the youngest marquis of military merit in the kingdom, I believe everyone is no stranger to him, he is also the reinforcement I invited this time."

Parley's control over Posey seems to be quite good, although there are still some whispers about the big nobles of Posey City behind his back, but when he walks in, these people are still quite honest.

"Lord Richard, he really deserves to be the number one master in the kingdom, and he looks heroic."

"It turns out that His Highness Parley invited Master Richard, then we can rest assured."

Now Richard is not as good as he was at the beginning, he had to pull Thor's banner when he first knocked on the bamboo pole in the river valley, and now he himself is the pole banner, after Parley introduced Richard's identity, these high-ranking nobles in Bosey City behaved very politely.

Of course, although these people have a stronger temperament as merchants, they are definitely not stupid, and the huge red dragon from the sky alone is enough for them to show enough respect.

"This is the Marquis of Waraya, this is the Count of Ascota..."

With Parley's introduction, Richard nodded his head and said hello, and then took a seat and got to the point.

"This time, we have gathered five legions, the elite garrison of 100,000 people, more than 200 knight-level masters, ten great knight-level masters, and nearly 1,000 ships, including more than 200 large warships and one dragon ship."

The dragon boat here is not the dragon boat used in the festival as we normally know, but a large sea boat with a length of nearly 200 meters and a width of about 70 meters, which can carry up to 1,000 people, and can be used by the dragon to fall and roost after special treatment.

The sea is vast, to go on an expedition to the sea tribe, the dragon cannot fly in the sky all the time, even if the dragon has good physical strength, but it is not tireless, there must always be a place to rest, the role of the dragon ship is somewhat similar to today's aircraft carrier.

The southern sea trade of the Golden Dragon Kingdom is developed, and the technology of shipbuilding has always been good, almost to the peak level of the sail era, and there is a bit of black technology.

"How effective is the army?"

This is the focus of Richard's attention, the regular corps of the kingdom is now either in the main cities in the south, or is transferred to the north, and the identity of Paley, the lord of Boxi City and the fourth prince, cannot be transferred to the three major corps in the south, only private soldiers and local garrisons can be used, although there are still a large number of garrison corps on paper in various places, but most of these legions What is urine Richard is very clear, maintain law and order, bully civilians It's okay, if you really want to fight, or a naval battle that sails thousands of miles, the general garrison is definitely unreliable.

Richard is not worried about his own safety, with the strength around him, plus a teleportation skill, he can run if he can't beat it, I'm afraid that Paley is a good manager but doesn't know how to fight, and in the end not only folded himself in, but also folded it into a vote of southern nobles, which led to the collapse of the situation in the south of the kingdom, which was also quite unfavorable to Richard.

Parley knew exactly what Richard was worried about, and immediately answered:

"They are all elites, at least they will not lose to the regular army of the Southern Corps, and in addition, there are more than forty nobles who will participate in this operation."

The elite of the five legions, this guy Parley has a big situation in the south, and it is a rule that the prince cannot get involved in the standing army of the kingdom, so controlling some local garrison legions and some irregular militia regiments is a common means for these princes, just like the eldest prince Although he has stayed in the royal capital for a long time, he mainly controls part of the city guards and some local garrisons on the central plain that are still passable, and his influence on the forbidden army is very low, and the total is probably only twenty or thirty thousand people.

A person like Parley who can directly mobilize five legions really exceeded Richard's expectations, and sure enough, his ability to move money is stronger than he imagined.

"This time, our Waraya family will fully support Prince Parai's actions, in addition to the 1,000 elites promised before, the Waraya family will send another warship and 2,000 private soldiers, and I myself will lead five retainers of the Great Knight rank to join the battle."

"This..."

As soon as the Marquis of Waraya spoke, the rest of the nobles looked at each other, the marquis in the south is not as good as the semi-princely marquis of the Lanster family, in terms of the number of strong people, the Waraya family is not much worse than the Lanster family, but the Waraya family in the south does not need to raise so many troops like the Lanster family, plus two thousand, it is basically a whole out of their own old bottom, not to mention that the logistics materials need to be prepared by themselves.

This kind of behavior is a blatant price increase in the eyes of other nobles, and in the past, the Waraya family was not very good at dealing with Palay, before Paley came, the most powerful nobleman in this Boxi City was the Marquis of Waraya, and the previous city lords also had to give some face, but Paray was going to seize the power of the tree as soon as he arrived in Bosi City, although Parai was very clever in controlling the scale, but it was inevitable that it still slightly hurt the interests of the Waraya family. It's a little bit inappropriate.

"Good! The Sea Clan is in turmoil, and it is our entire Boxi City, and even the entire south that suffers, everyone should be like the Marquis of Waraya, and not just count on a few families to contribute. ”

The Marquis of Waraya's sudden statement was a surprise, and the unprepared Parley only sighed that Richard was indeed his savior, and then handed the conversation to the nobles at this table.

Seeing that the two leaders of Boxi City had reached an agreement, the others also knew that it was impossible not to increase their efforts, and they all promised to increase the initial dispatch of troops and material support.

In the end, in addition to the 100,000 people that Parley began to prepare, there were more than 20,000 noble private soldiers and more than 200 knight-level masters.

"Let's talk about the battle plan, the sea tribe's closest large mussel farm to us, probably more than a thousand nautical miles south of the port, our fleet has been assembled in Ned Harbor, I ask all the troops participating in the battle to embark from Ned Harbor within a week."

"What about the Sea Clan's continued march inland?"

"As long as we set out from Ned Harbor, the Sea Clan will not care about attacking, and they will definitely come back to besiege us, instead of marching inland."

What Paley said was to bet that the Sea Clan would not dare to change his home, after all, the clam field was the lifeblood of the Sea Clan, he dared to bet, and the Sea Clan did not dare to bet.

"Although Lord Richard led the dragon into battle this time, the Sea Clan is a little unusual this time."

"Yes, how could the Sea Clan be so difficult to deal with in the past."

"Those Sea Clan priests who usually pretend to be gods and ghosts seem to really have the ability to cast spells now, hell."

As soon as they said this, the nobles below were a little sad, and the little anger they had just mentioned was a lot more dissipated, after all, they had suffered a lot from the Sea Clan priests recently.

"Spellcasting ability?"

Richard questioned when he heard the word.

"Yes, although the Sea Clan used to have the habit of carrying priests with the army, but in the past, those priests were just pretending to be ghosts, and I don't know what happened recently, they actually have the ability to cause tides and cast water arrows, and when the Sea Clan besieged a noble castle before, there were priests who used high-level magic such as water dragon magic."

The era of magic is not far from the present, after all, five hundred years ago, there were still court mages who could barely cast spells, and with Parley's deliberate understanding, he was still able to find relevant information and recognize the spells used by the Sea Clan priests.

"How's it powering?"

"Although it is not as powerful as in the record, the water dragon technique is already worthy of the full force of the great knight."

"The sea clan priests' spell-casting abilities are quite bizarre, as if they were created overnight, and when the dragon knights first left, they attacked the fleet at most, and they were far less rampant than they are now."

Richard probably understood why the situation in the south collapsed so quickly, the dragon knight left and the strength of the Shanghai clan increased, and the strength of both sides suddenly increased and decreased, no wonder Pare, the old silver coin, was overwhelmed.

"When did the Sea Clan start to have spellcasting abilities?"

Richard suddenly thought of something and asked Parley next to him.

"About a week ago, any questions?"

Parley wondered why Richard had suddenly asked this.

"Nothing, let's get a general idea."

Richard said it calmly, but his heart was not at all calm.

Wait, wasn't it time for me to place the artifact a week ago? Although he was not sure, Richard had a strong instinct in his heart that the sudden possession of spellcasting abilities by the Sea Clan was definitely related to Liz's protection.

Made, after a long time, it wasn't me who benefited the most from Lis's protection, but the Sea Clan. Perhaps it was Lisi's protection that triggered the activity of the water element in a large area, and the caster of the Sea Clan, which is similar to the bloodline inheritance, recovered the spell casting ability very quickly, while the human being belongs to the knowledge inheritance type, although the potential is stronger than that of the Sea Clan, but the recovery at the beginning must be much slower.

However, the current situation seems that although the Sea Clan has obtained a certain amount of spell-casting ability, it is still within the controllable range, at least Parley dares to prepare to fight back, and the Sea Clan's spell-casting ability is not strong.

"Ahem, this time in addition to the dragon, I also brought a hydra that I subdued, it is the big guy outside, its strength is no worse than the dragon, and it has the ability to fight in the water, and this lady Natalis, who is comparable to my strength and is also a strong man of the Sky Knight level."

Ten minutes of the sky was also the sky, and Richard silently read it to himself again. At this time, there is no need to hide any strength, but to show more strength and boost everyone.

Sure enough, not only the nobles present, but even Paré's eyes lit up, and he had a greater grasp of the original battle plan.

"Okay, let's go down and prepare, this battle must hurt the Sea Clan and maintain stability in the south of the kingdom."

When he said this, Parley, the Marquis of Waraya, and Richard in the room glanced at each other, and the others may have thought that after hurting the Sea Clan, after returning to their past state, they can continue to make money normally, Parley and the other three know more, and there is more meaning in this sentence...

……

To the south, in a sea area of several hundred meters, thousands of strong, well-equipped patrol guards were surrounded in a circle, as if some important person was being protected in it.

"Your Excellency High Priest, I don't think it makes much sense for us to do this, the land is not suitable for us to live, it just makes no sense to consume the lives of our people."

"Your Majesty, how can you have such a thought, our warriors are winning one after another, and you are starting to think about peace talks?"

"And how long is this pointless war going to be?"

"Until no human dares to set foot in the territory of the sea god again."

"They're afraid to come now."

"No, their lessons weren't deep enough."

"Order General Atamu to cooperate with the priesthood tomorrow and take the target city."

"You..."

"Your Majesty, you should have the momentum to be a king, not to be a lover of peace here."

"Let's go."

After crossing the Sea King and giving the order, the high priest of the Sea Clan left with his own vote of sea patrol guards, leaving only the Sea King wearing a crown, and the remaining sea patrol guards around all looked at each other, and after seeing this scene of the immortal fight up close, these guards were a little at a loss.

And the Sea King who stayed in place was even more gloomy, as if he was about to drip...

He didn't know where the real purpose of the high priest was not to be human, but to gain greater prestige through war, so as to completely suppress the power of the Sea King.

The Sea Clan has always been a dualistic leadership system, with a Sea King and a High Priest in each generation, and the status of the Sea King is faintly above the High Priest, but since the priests have recovered their spell-casting ability, the status of the High Priest has risen instantly, and in a short period of time, it has been firmly higher than the Sea King.

In this regard, the Sea King was helpless, but the high priest was still not satisfied, this practice was to constantly attack the prestige of the Sea King and completely empty the appearance of the Sea King...
