Chapter 50: Kill or Kill
By the time Reilly walked out of the portal, three months had passed on the Faro plane.
After hearing the news of his return, Erin rushed over as soon as possible.
"Hey, didn't Richard come back?" the girl's expression looked very lost.
"He was so crushed by quicksand that he couldn't get out of bed, so he couldn't come back. Reilly laughed.
Although she knew that he was joking, Erin couldn't help but puff out her little face.
Reilly patted her on the head and said, "How are you doing, are you in any trouble?"
Speaking of business, Erin immediately changed to a serious expression: "The nobles of the Iron Triangle Empire always want to put their hands into our trade routes, and the Minotaur fought with them several times!"
"The result?"
"The other side lost more than three thousand people, and the casualties of our army exceeded one thousand two hundred. Erin sighed and said, "Thanks to the activity of Lord Essien and Archpriest Clark, many warriors have been rescued. ”
"Who's the commander on the other side?" asked Reilly.
"The one who appears the most is a general named Willen. In addition, Sarenwell also came once, and the Minotaur was accidentally surrounded by him. It was a very difficult battle, and most of our losses came from this. However, he was eventually beaten back by the Minotaur. ”
Reilly asked in surprise, "Was Sarenwell beaten back?, and how did the Minotaur do it?" He was under the impression that the Minotaur warriors didn't seem to have that kind of leadership talent.
"This......" Speaking of that incident, Erin couldn't help but smile: "I heard that Sarenwell was commanded from the roof of the car, and the Minotaur directly led a team of knights to kill and cut through the opponent's formation. Sarenwell saw that the situation was not good and ran. ”
Reilly laughed: "Count him unlucky, he met the Minotaur." "Calculating the time, the Minotaur warrior's rebirth ability should almost cool, so he is not afraid to fight with people at all.
To be sure, Sarenwell was a hero of great talent. But he was defeated twice at the hands of Reilly, and now he was defeated by the Minotaur with brute tactics, which luck ......
(Barely rating an E)
Reilly thought for a moment and said, "Gather all the cavalry, I'm going to go around the Iron Triangle Empire." ”
Erin asked in surprise, "Go now?"
Reilly smiled, "I don't like to fight unprepared battles, let's set off the day after tomorrow." ”
Two days later, Reilly led two thousand human cavalry and a thousand puppet knights to attack the Iron Triangle Empire. This time, he brought out all the gold-robed mages and puppet mages.
One of the legions placed on the border by the Iron Triangle Empire was completely annihilated, and none of the 4,000 people survived. Under the attack of nearly a hundred mages, even escaping has become a luxury. The following week, Reilly swung north, sweeping through the borders of the Iron Triangle Empire at a speed of 300 kilometers per day. Wiped out the private armies of one count, five viscounts, and eight barons, and sacked their castles before marching away.
The Iron Triangle Empire's response was not slow, and the military headquarters immediately mobilized 3,000 cavalry to pursue Reilly, and two reorganized legions followed.
As he was about to break away from the Iron Triangle Empire, Reilly suddenly turned around and met the trailing Imperial cavalry in the Papan Valley. After World War I, the Iron Triangle Empire's proud Iron Cavalry was wiped out.
Looking at the blood-stained river, the two imperial legions that followed did not dare to attack or retreat, so they had to send people back to call for reinforcements.
However, the reinforcements of the Iron Triangle Empire have not yet arrived, and Reilly's allies have arrived on the battlefield first. Thousands of trolls and three times as many orcs appeared on the east and west sides of the Imperial Army, forming a coalition with Reilly's main force.
After a great battle, the Iron Triangle Empire lost two legions again.
"Chief Thunderhammer, High Priest of Zambilar, this time it is really thanks to you. Rayleigh and the orc chief hugged for a moment, then nodded to the troll priest.
Thunderhammer laughed and said, "Well, you're going to treat us to a big drink tonight." "Since the alliance with Richard, the development of the Bloodstone Tribe has been on a fast track. Due to the presence of the shaman York, most of the orc slaves were willing to join Richard's forces. And when they fulfilled the targets set by Richard, most of these orcs chose to become members of the Bloodstone Tribe.
Reilly also smiled: "Good!"
After returning to the Bluewater Oasis, Reilly took out three blueprints of the magic weapon from Lawrence and studied them carefully.
The Magic Arm is a unique construct that absorbs the user's mana and converts it into a Fighting Spirit-like energy that greatly increases the user's strength, speed, and defense.
For Reilly, the outfit was almost tailor-made. As the level increases, Reilly's mana becomes more and more abundant, and the art of war replenishes the consumption. If he can have a magic weapon, his combat power will immediately increase to a notch!
For some time afterward, Reilly asked Minotaur to lead his troops and continue to sweep away the horse bandits and aliens in the Bloodstained Lands. After four months of purging, all the slightly sizable horse bandits and alien forces were wiped out, and only a few horse bandits who secretly took refuge in Reilly remained.
The remaining bandits are smart enough to know who is the true master of the Bloodstained Lands. Reilly asked them to rob whoever they wanted, and then handed over the looted things, so that they could get a chance to survive and even grow stronger. Reilly had privately promised that when Richard formally incorporated the entire Bloodstained Lands into his domain, they would be given a chance to become regular soldiers, or they would be able to return home with a severance pay.
In addition, the Minotaur also exterminated many slave hunters.
Reilly's meaning is very clear, it is not impossible for slave hunters to exist, but they must register and pay taxes. The slaves caught by the slave catchers were to be taken by the tax collector for a tenth of the money, or they were sold directly to Richard.
However, the vast majority of slave hunters refused to pay their taxes, and even fought when confronted by tax patrols. In just one month, six patrols were destroyed and hundreds of cavalrymen were killed. The slave hunting group was extremely ruthless and never left a mouth alive. A large slave hunter even openly attacked Richard's tax collection stronghold, killing the tax collectors and guards inside, and even stripped the corpses naked and stuck them in wooden stakes and stood around the stronghold.
For a time, Richard's five tax collection offices in the Northwest were in danger.
The members of the slave catchers are outlaws, and these murderous creatures have a hard time following the rules of others. However, Reilly is even more ferocious, and he has only one attitude towards the rebels, and that is to shoot!
Reilly had Minotaur and Clark take three hundred puppet knights and two hundred human cavalry to patrol the area where the slave catchers operated. Once you see a slave catcher who has not paid taxes, you will kill them all!
This domineering and brutal order caused an uproar in the Iron Triangle Empire and the Sequoia Kingdom, and the opposition was heard endlessly. You must know that most slave hunters have the support of nobles from various countries behind them. Their act of defiance was actually at the behest of these behind-the-scenes people. Although Richard's taxes were not heavy, the benefits generated by the entire bloodstained land together became astronomical, and even the royal family of the Sequoia Kingdom was blushing. Therefore, most of the nobles wanted Richard's rule in the Bloodstained Lands to fall, or at least not be stable enough, so that they could get a kick in it.
No matter what the nobles thought, the Minotaur and Clark would not stop. On the first day, they wiped out three slave traps, killing more than 700 people, and suffering less than 20 casualties themselves. Reilly's aim has always been to inflict the first wave of damage on ordinary warriors, and then the puppet knights to destroy the enemy. However, with the Priest Corps led by Clark in this team, even ordinary soldiers are not so easy to die.
The Minotaur returned the corpses that had reached level 10 back to the Blue Water Oasis, and then nailed the rest of the slave catchers to the stakes to bury the victims at the tax collection point.
The battle was like wings, and in the blink of an eye, it spread throughout the countries around the Bloodstained Lands. Among the three slave trappers wiped out by the Minotaur was the Marquis of Nojean of the Sequoia Kingdom. He angrily sent emissaries to the Blue Water Oasis to protest. However, Reilly's response was: "If there is any dissatisfaction, we can talk slowly on the battlefield." ”
So, the Marquis of Nojean went into disgrace.
