Chapter 192: The Stagnant City in the Forest and the Return
After Aragorn returned to the ring, he didn't make much noise, and seemed to fall into a deep sleep again, it should be that the magic power to maintain his state was not abundant, and Richard didn't have enough magic crystals in his hands at this time, so he could only grieve Aragorn first.
According to Aragorn, both the magic power and the fighting qi cultivated by the knights belong to the same kind of energy from the origin, but the magic power is purer and the qi introduced by the qi is a little mixed.
And the current situation seems to be even more serious than Aragorn's time, the magic power between heaven and earth is so thin that it is close to nothing, and even the mode of Douqi cultivation, which is more rugged than magic cultivation, is difficult to enter the advanced realm.
Aragorn appeared outside the ring, and the energy that sustained his soul was depleted without any replenishment, and he was soon forced to fall into a deep sleep.
This also explains why in Aragon's era, there were still sky knights with a number of hands, and even one or two sanctuary-level powerhouses, but now it is difficult to even have a sky-level powerhouse.
In this kind of environment where the strong are difficult to come out, the race with a strong innate body will be more advantageous, not to mention the existence of the giant dragon clan, which can eat the big knight and the earth knight by relying on the body, even if it is only one or two orcs who are generally higher than humans, it is becoming more and more troublesome, and the disparity between the two sides in terms of basic strength is already huge, and now there is no gap in the strength above the knight level, it is almost certain that when the golden dragon leaves, the human race will immediately be attacked by the orc kingdom in retaliation.
Of course, this is not something that Richard should be worried about at the moment, although from all kinds of fragmentary information, as well as Aragorn's mouth, he probably knows that the Golden Dragon Clan is not reliable, but the news that the Dragon Knight of Zhenguo will only exist for the last year is still the top secret of the kingdom, and even Richard is not qualified to know about it at this time.
Now what really gives Richard a headache is the city in the woods that has come to a standstill in its current development, the high-level arches that produce deadwood warriors and the high-level magic springs that produce silver pegasus have been built by Richard gritted his teeth, but the forest sanctuary that produces the barrier (elf) sixth-order unicorn makes Richard have no clue at all.
Architecture: Sanctuary in the Woods
Only the beautiful and pure elven girl can be favored by the holy unicorn when she is the lord of the castle.
This condition simply made Richard a little blind, where to find an elf hero to serve as the city lord? I still want a beautiful and pure girl.
The unicorn has become synonymous with hypocrisy in Richard's eyes, but whether it is hypocritical or not, it is also a sixth-level soldier.
The key is that the sacred land in the forest is still the premise of building the Dragon Cliff, and if this thing does not come, when will Richard's dream of having a dragon come true.
It's really useless to complain and complain, and after thinking of a way to deal with it for the time being, Richard can only count his troops and take people on the way back to Demon Town.
After more than a month of accumulation, Richard can now be described as a strong soldier, and he currently has troops under his command
Centaur Elite (375), Halberd (351), War Dancer (275), Marksman (320), Elf Archer (132), Royal Gryphon (168), Silver Pegasus Warrior (40), Crusader (113), Phantom Archer (5), High Monk (30), Deadwood Warrior (30), Diamond Man (2), Champion Knight (5), Scorpioncore (1).
After leaving the deadwood warriors in the forest city, Richard took all the troops under his command to return to the demon city, and the time was ripe for the second expedition to the wilderness, the last time because of the lack of strength, Richard fought more like a chicken thief,
This time, Richard is ready to completely wipe out the large tribe left behind by Grugersh, cut off the hidden ogre in the wilderness in one game, control the magic crystal mine, and complete the task that has been hanging by the way.
This elite force of more than 1,000 people, and Elena with a curious look on the side are the confidence of his expedition.
"Lady Elena, what do you think of my army?"
Richard, who showed his muscles in front of Elena, couldn't help but feel stunned at this moment, and Elena could have doubts about the strength of his territory at first.
"A strong army."
Elena has a temperament, even if she is in the continent, if she can have an army of this strength, she can be called a powerful lord.
Not to mention anything else, just the four champion knights, Elena was not sure to defeat them without summoning angels to descend, and the group of crusaders who walked with a clanging sound, at first glance, they were not easy to match.
"It's just that with your strength, it really surprises me to be able to lead such a powerful subordinate."
The more powerful the world, the more powerful the ruler must have, in Elena's world, the lord is usually the force of the territory, looking at the strength of a lord, you can probably judge the strength of a territory.
In fact, the lords of the Northland also almost conform to this law, but Richard was an accident.
Richard listened to Elena's words but didn't care, and cheekily pointed to his own head and said:
"A strong lord, in addition to force, needs a smart and flexible mind, as well as a benevolent heart."
In fact, in this kind of world, the strength of the lord is of course important, even if it is not the strongest, you have to see it, Richard understands the reason, but I have to hold on to the face.
"A merciful heart?"
Richard's reasoning made Elena fall into thought.
"Maybe I'm too obsessed with power."
…
After a day and a night of marching, by the time the sun rose the next day, Richard had already seen the outline of the Demon Suppression City.
After more than two months of rushing work, the outer city wall of the Demon City has begun to take shape, and the basic construction of the internal streets and house layouts has been completed.
This is of course thanks to Lint's good scheduling during this time, and of course, the hard work of the kobold 007 mode.
Soon Richard led his army close to the city walls, and after confirming his identity, the defending Flying Bear Army immediately lifted their guard and saluted Richard.
The surrounding workers also stopped to salute Richard, and Richard even saw some unusual kobolds stop to salute him.
To say that these kobolds are different is literal, they look much stronger than the group of kobolds working on the ground, and they are also wearing a blue and white uniform, carrying a small whip in their hands, which is very conspicuous among kobolds, after all, kobolds did not wear clothes before.
After a little thought, Richard probably knew what was going on with this group of kobolds, set up a model and give rewards, use kobolds to supervise the kobolds to work, and give them a little hope to make them work harder, let Richard take care of this matter It is estimated that this is also a routine, and a smart person like Lint will definitely not think of it,
But looking at the funny appearance of this group of kobolds, Richard couldn't help but smile, and a word popped up in his head inexplicably - dog management.
When passing by this group of kobold slave laborers, Richard also paid special attention to Elena's expression, Elena's expression was very natural, and there was no uncertainty, obviously her justice was only for humans, not the kind of guy with moral purity, which made Richard breathe a sigh of relief.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Soon after entering the city, the sound of army training came from the school field, and now it was the time for the army's morning exercise, and the training of the Flying Bear Army and the Tiger and Leopard Army had obviously not been left behind, and everything was being carried out step by step.
Rows of pikemen and sword players are rehearsing the formation, their formation is quite skillful, the formation is neat, and it can be seen at a glance that they are well-trained elites.
There are also some tall soldiers armed with special weapons such as war hammers in the array, and these special squads are designed to deal with some difficult opponents, that is, knight-level good hands break through the formation, and they also have to attack with heavy hammers under the leadership of the captain.
"These armies are inferior, and there is a big lack of individual strength."
"Well, there are more of them, though."
Elena, who was following Richard, was not suppressed by the momentum of these armies, and directly pointed out the shortcomings of the Flying Bear Army and the Haw Par Army.
This is also true, after all, it depends on who you compare with, in Elena's eyes, the elite soldiers are at least soldiers of the level of halberders, and those halberds have barely had the combat power of quasi-knights under Richard's bonus, so naturally they are not comparable to these ordinary soldiers.
However, Richard was already quite satisfied, the Flying Bear Army and the Tiger and Par Army were not long in their formation, but it was definitely well trained to this extent in two or three months.
There is no shortage of individual and powerful mid-to-high-end combat power in his hands, as long as the ordinary army under his command can reach the level of the royal forbidden army in the future, he will be satisfied.
In this expedition to the wilderness, both legions had to participate in the battle, training and actual combat baptism, and the two armies were able to grow up quickly.
"Let's go, go back to the castle."
