Chapter 64: Raymond
In a separate tent, Richard met Raymond. The wise man of the Joseph family had long since lost his former calmness, and he was curled up on the ground, coughing desperately, and a little scarlet splashing from his mouth and nose, as if he was about to crush his heart and lungs.
Richard looked at it coldly for a while, and then said, "Raymond, are you trying to bring someone else to the funeral because you are going to die?"
Raymond slowly stopped coughing, he struggled to prop up his upper body, and turned back to Richard with a weak smile: "Yes, because I am going to die, I want to do what I have to do before I die." ”
Seeing his righteous appearance, Richard suddenly felt that a stream of hot blood rushed to the top of his head! He reached out and grabbed Raymond's neck, dragged him outside the tent, slammed him on the ground, pointed to the messy battlefield below, and roared angrily: "Open your eyes and take a good look! There are nearly 60,000 corpses lying down here! Even the lives of the Faroros are worthless, but there are still tens of thousands of Norland warriors there! They die here, and tomorrow they will be dismembered by the Faroese and fed to the beasts!" So many lives, just for your bullshit must be done?What is the must do?!"
"What he's going to do is kill you!" At this moment, a voice came from not far away.
Richard and Raymond looked back and saw Reilly walking this way.
"Are the lives of the Faroes worthless?" he said, glancing at Richard with a smirk, "So, what about the lives of the Norlanders, a thousand gold coins each?" or ten thousand gold coins?"
"Reilly, you know I didn't mean that!" Richard said angrily.
"So, what exactly are you trying to say?" asked Reilly, spreading his hands.
"I ......" Richard clenched his fists, but he didn't know how to vent his anger.
"You don't look like a leader now. Reilly shook his head and said, "If you hate killing, why don't you stay in Faust and be your royal constructor?"
"I have a responsibility to bear!" said Richard firmly.
"In that case, you have to accept all this!" Reilly said, pointing to the battlefield below, "Since you have chosen this path, you will have to bear the consequences." War is not a game, you better think clearly!"
Richard pointed at Raymond and said, "If it weren't for him......"
"It's not him, it's someone else. Reilly waved his hand and said, "This is the fate of the nobles!"
Richard gritted his teeth and glared at Raymond and said, "From the moment I stepped through Faust's door, your family has never stopped plotting against me and my family! Mensah, Schumpeter, Joseph, and Wellingburg hiding behind you. Time and time again, do you really think I'm a bully, or do you think I don't dare to fight back and kill people?!"
"Now it seems that our biggest mistake was not to pay a greater price to root you down. Raymond smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Damn the law of balance, limited benefits, limited costs. I can only blame myself for not taking a long-term view, but you know, in many cases, there is no way to do it. Norland has a lot of talented young people every year, how can you kill them all?Ancient wisdom says that strengthening yourself is the best way to deal with the enemy, and we put our energy on Gordon, and we set an acceptable price for you. As soon as the price you need to pay is more than expected, we will give up on dealing with you. But now it seems that there are exceptions to the ancient wisdom, and you are the accident. ”
"Ancient wisdom is not wrong. You fail only because you don't have enough talent. Reilly smiled and said, "If I were an enemy of Akmund, I wouldn't need to be as afraid of Richard as you are. ”
Raymond was stunned for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Indeed, the reason why we are afraid of Richard growing up is because we are not strong enough. ”
Richard said coldly, "Very well, now it's my turn to charge you the price." In the near future, you will see the demise of the House of Joseph!"
"I won't live that long. Raymond laughed to himself.
"Don't worry, if it falls into my hands, it's not so easy to die!" Richard said lightly: "I want you to follow me and witness the process of my destruction of the Joseph family." ”
Raymond was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "My life can't even be saved by the divine grace of the Eternal and Time Dragons. ”
"I've heard that the Joseph family has been poor lately. Richard sneered, "Not being able to sacrifice and not being able to receive divine grace are two different things. ”
"The torrent of life can't save my life, it has nothing to do with whether there are sacrifices or not. Raymond said indifferently: "In addition, the divine grace of the dragon of eternity and time cannot solve all problems. Over-reliance on charisma is not a good thing. ”
"Isn't it good to rely too much on charism? I'm afraid most people don't think so! Do you think you're smarter than most people on the Norland plane? Don't forget, your army is at my hands, and you're my prisoner yourself. Richard didn't believe what Raymond said.
Raymond is still calm: "We, the scholars and mages of Fort Solomon, have made it our mission to explore the truth of the world. Between me and most people, it's probably the majority that's wrong. ”
Richard snorted, not ready to argue with him again.
"Exploring the reality of the world?" Reilly said, glancing at him with interest, "It's a good goal." ”
"Is Mr. Reilly also interested in our Solomonburg cause?" asked Raymond with a smile.
"Of course. Reilly nodded and said, "Because that's my business too." ”
"So, will you join Fort Solomon?"
"No, I'd rather destroy Fort Solomon and take your knowledge for myself. ”
――――――――――――――――――――
The war ended with the total annihilation of the invaders.
It was an epic war for all of Farrow, and it had an epic ending. Richard, the god of war in the Redwood Kingdom, defeated the seemingly invincible army of the xenoplane in this hard-fought battle. He planted the battle flag behind him, and the feat of not retreating a single step spread throughout the countries of mankind.
These invaders were extremely powerful, not only defeating the Baroque kingdom in frontal battles, but also crippling the church of Ludrith, the god of war. Just when people thought that the invaders would be driven straight in, the journey of Norland's army was ended by Richard.
With such merit, Richard could receive the title of Divine Favor from all the gods who issued oracles, and was blessed by the gods for the rest of his life. However, according to the tradition of the plane, Richard could only choose one god, or several gods of the same god line, to be their god. Therefore, after Richard became the deity of the three goddesses, he could no longer convert to other gods.
On the other hand, rumors that Richard might be an alien invader have been put to the back of their minds, and the turbulent land full of time turbulence has attracted the attention of many interested people. Richard's earliest footprints appeared in that mysterious land, which reminds people of an ancient legend. Now, many people are beginning to believe that there is a powerful kingdom on the other side of the land of turmoil.
