Chapter 12: The Temptation of Legends

After the battle, Richard decided to repair the Continental Bridge fortress for a while, while Rayleigh summoned his puppet army and entered the heart of the Hulan Empire.

Now that Richard has taken the difficult bone of the Continental Bridge, of course his ally has to express it, not to mention that the casualties of the Norlanders are not small, and they must be stopped and repaired.

When Semir led his army to attack the fortress, the Hulands put up a fierce resistance, and finally cost the Norland side 2,000 warriors. However, the price paid by the Hulans was even heavier, with more than 30,000 killed in the war alone.

In this battle, the most elite troops of the Hulan were almost wiped out by Richard, and less than a tenth of them fled back. And under Reilly's "key care", Hulan's Sanctuary powerhouse killed thirteen in battle, which was a heavy blow to the entire Hulan Empire, and even shook the foundation of the empire.

However, the combat methods of the Hulan Sanctuary also made Reilly stunned, and they all disguised themselves as ordinary soldiers and mixed in the battle array, and they came out when they saw the opportunity. Although it was of little use to the Norland Sanctuary, it killed many mid-to-high-ranking officers and constructed knights.

Over the next month, Rayleigh intercepted the troops on the road to the Imperial Capital of Hulan. These troops ranged from hundreds to thousands, all of them were completely killed, and even two Sacred Domain powerhouses died at his hands.

Soon after, Richard, who had finished repairing, also arrived with 15,000 men. Emperor Hulan had 10,000 defenders, and Richard's strength advantage did not seem to be large, and he had to face tall walls, but Richard had an overwhelming advantage in the number of strong and elite troops.

The next morning, Richard began to attack the imperial capital of Hulan, while Rayleigh led a puppet army to defend against the Dragon Star. The battle went well, but the dragon star never appeared.

After five hours of fierce fighting, Norland's army captured the capital of Hulan, and the emperor, empress, crown prince and other important figures all fell into the hands of Richard. He handed them over to Minnie, who did not expect to ask for the information Richard needed.

The real secrets of the Hulan plane are hidden in the Divine Lair, but it is a forbidden place for the Hulan people, and even the Emperor has never entered it, so he doesn't know what is in the Divine Nest. It is said to be the abode of the gods, and that if anyone enters it, they will be in ruin.

There is a holy city beneath the nest, which is the core of Hulan, and the entire empire is to serve the holy city, and the royal family is more like an agent for managing the affairs of the mortal world. The masters of the Holy City are the only two legends in the Hulan Plane, and they also have a thousand elite Holy City warriors under their command.

It is said that there is a mysterious ritual in the Holy City that can elevate the two major leaders of the Holy City's samurai to legendary powerhouses.

"It turns out that Long Xing is a parallel commodity that was forcibly broken through by external forces. "Reilly finally understood why Dragon Star was so weak.

"This plane hides a great secret. Richard said excitedly.

Becoming a legend is the ultimate dream of almost every Norland powerhouse, and the news that there is a ceremony in the Holy City that can make people ascend to the sky in one step is so exciting. Although Richard himself did not need to use this method, he could create two powerful followers from it.

"The key is why this ritual allows the Sanctuary to break through to the legendary. ”

Compared to parallel legends like Dragon Star, the knowledge behind the ritual is what Rayleigh is interested in.

In fact, there are not many people here who want to rely on external forces to improve their ranks. The Minotaur and Trinator have already got their tickets to the legend, and now they just need to keep accumulating their strength and wait for the day when the water will come to fruition. Gore, Ruiwen, Quicksand, Minnie Mouse and Splash are all determined people, they know very well what kind of path they want to take, and naturally they don't need to rush to break through.

Richard looked around, already having a number in his mind, so he said to Minnie, "Go ahead and ask him about the defensive strength of the Holy City, and what else needs to be paid attention to. ”

Minnie nodded and continued to cast spells on Emperor Hulan.

The interrogation lasted a whole day and a night, and did not stop until Richard confirmed that he could never ask anything new.

In the next few days, Richard asked Semir to return to Norland to gather reinforcements, and he himself was stationed in the imperial capital of Huland. While waiting, Richard often stared at the distant nest of gods in contemplation.

From the imperial capital, the Divine Nest resembles a huge conch, its top surrounded by a thick layer of clouds, and it keeps spinning, and from a distance, it looks like the whole world is turning.

Richard was no stranger to such clouds, having seen the same thing in Faust and the City where the sun never sets.

However, the spiraling upward pattern of the Divine Nest made Richard, who was proficient in plane geometry, move in his heart, and immediately reduced the scene he saw to numbers in his consciousness, and then tried to find patterns in the numbers. An extremely large system of formulas gradually emerged, a huge set of formulas that Richard had never seen before, and there were many places in it that were surrounded by mist, and its complexity was almost comparable to the simplest plane rules.

During this time, Reilly had also observed the Hair and confirmed that it was a man-made creation, which led him to believe that Hulan was once a high-level plane.

There must be a great secret hidden in the nest, which is the common knowledge of Richard and Reilly. Perhaps, as the Hulans say, the nest is the resting place of the gods, because there are no living gods in this plane.

This is another incredible phenomenon, although Hulan is small, but the power system is quite powerful, it stands to reason that there will definitely be gods, and it is very likely that there will be strong divine powers, even if there is only one god, it is normal. However, the current Hulan people have no gods, not even demigods have ever appeared in their history.

If Hulan did have gods, and for some reason they fell asleep or even fell, and slept on the top of the lair, that would make sense. Of course, the truth will only be revealed after ascending to the Nest.

In any case, the obstacle of the Holy City must be removed, and those two legendary powerhouses are the biggest threat. Although they are all in a state of serious injury and have not recovered, they can also take away a few Norland powerhouses with their desperate efforts.

For Reilly, it is impossible to judge how valuable the secrets of the Divine Lair are, but the benefits of killing the legendary powerhouse are obvious. When the time comes, his powerful magic ability can really come into play.

On the other hand, Richard seems to be a little abnormal after viewing the Nest, he first asks his followers what they see, and after learning that no one sees anything abnormal, he says that the Holy City may not be as simple as he thinks, and then tells Semir to go back to Norland to call for reinforcements.

"Maybe we've all underestimated the Huran plane. ”
