That evening, Richard and Reilly lay out a map on the table and discuss the current situation.

"For now, the next target for the Town Bear Rider should be the Oasis of Twilight. Richard said as he drew a circle on the map.

"Maybe add the Sark Oasis and the Saltwater Valley. Reilly thought for a moment and said, "In this way, the Bear Riders will continue to shrink and be replaced by a group of bandits and slaves. ”

"Both the Twilight Oasis and the Sack Oasis have Sanctuary powerhouses in charge, and there are quite a few warriors. Even the Bear Knights have to pay a certain price to capture these two places. Richard smiled and said, "I hope they keep fighting." ”

Quicksand, who was sitting next to Richard, pointed to the map and said, "Soon, we will leave the Bloodstained Land and enter the realm of the Iron Triangle Empire. The area is full of mountains and forests, and the Schumpeter family's forward base should be nearby. ”

Richard nodded and said, "It's very likely. However, I suspect that the Schumpeter family's beacon of time has also been extinguished. Otherwise, they should have sent the Constructed Knight instead of the Bear Rider. In this plane of legendary powerhouses, the Bear Knight is not a decisive force. ”

"Speaking of which, do the Schumpeters have a grudge against you?" said Reilly, looking at Richard suspiciously.

"It's a grudge against Akmund!" Richard snorted and said, "More than seventy bear knights were actually sent, and Schumpeter really paid for it!"

Reilly spread his hands and said, "If you have so many resources, you might as well use them to strengthen yourself." ”

Quicksand shook his head and said, "Of course they will be scared when faced with a future Saint Constructor. ”

"Is that so?" Reilly looked at Richard curiously and asked, "How sure are you about the Holy Constructor?"

Richard thought for a moment and said, "As long as my magic power reaches level twelve, I can become a Grand Constructor." Also, if I can complete the second set of the 'Deep Wild' series, I'll be able to touch the threshold of the Holy Builder. ”

"In that case, the distance between you and the Holy Constructor isn't that far. Reilly nodded and said.

Like Earth, the society of Norland is a pyramid structure. In order to get more resources, everyone is trying to climb upwards or trample others down.

Richard sighed, although he didn't want to step on others, but others wanted to step on him. What's more, every stratum of society has its limitations, and every time Richard takes a step forward, he squeezes a person down, and this is the reality.

Reilly beckoned to quicksand and motioned for her to come over in her ear: "This idiot is starting to get tangled again, you help him 'relax' first, and I'll call Erin over." ”

Quicksand nodded and whispered, "Actually, I'm just alone." ”

Reilly rolled his eyes and said, "I'm just afraid that you'll drain him, so I'll let Erin come and watch it! ”

Early the next morning, Richard led the team on their way and found the traces left by the Bear Rider. But he did not rush north, but walked dozens of kilometers to the east and came to a supply point of the Golden Radiant Battle Banner.

Richard handed over a few letters to the camp leader to bring their caravan back to the Bluewater Oasis.

In the first letter, Richard wrote to Marven, asking him to find a way to encourage the temple of the Sequoia Kingdom to send troops and enter the bloodstained land to crusade against the invaders of the alien plane. In several other letters, Richard said he had spotted the tracks of the Xenoplane invaders, who were all the way south, most likely to the Bluewater Oasis. So let these old friends take precautions to avoid losses. Finally, Richard also depicts some of the characteristics of the Bear Knight in detail.

When the news of Richard's walk spread, the powerhouses of the Faro plane naturally set their sights on the Bear Knights, thus ignoring the presence of another group of invaders.

Three days later, Reilly spotted a team of red Cossacks through the field of vision of dragon flies. So, Richard rushed over with his team.

"Ultra Magic: Spell Spread!"

Before the two sides could make contact, Rayleigh slowed down all enemies with a Curse of Slowness. Then, Richard and Erin each threw a fireball, blowing up the horse bandits on the opposite side. Thanks to the broad back and steady footwork of Kodomon, even the weaker Erin can cast spells during the charge.

Ten minutes later, all the horse bandits collapsed in a pool of blood.

Over the next few days, the ranks of the Red Cossacks kept appearing, and Richard and Reilly quickly realized the gravity of the situation. The enemy has somehow been linked together and is trying to surround them.

"Looks like we're going to have a tough opponent. Richard sat in the camp with a very heavy face.

"Hmph, it's just a wolf pack tactic. Reilly said lightly: "We have dragon flies, we can scout from the air, and in this kind of one-way transparent battlefield, wolf pack tactics will only turn into fuel tactics." ”

Richard shook his head and said, "Have you ever wondered why the Red Cossacks always find us with unerring accuracy?"

"After all, the Bloodstained Lands are the home of the Red Cossacks, and it is inevitable that we will suffer some losses. Reilly waved his hand and said, "Our biggest weakness is that we don't have backup. ”

"But they are able to muster a large number of allies and vassals to surround and intercept us. Richard frowned, and said in a deep voice: "In recent days, new forces have been joining the battle, either a large number of horse bandits, or a skilled slave hunting team, their total number has exceeded four thousand!"

"Don't be nervous, we don't have to face these four thousand people at the same time. Reilly patted him on the shoulder and said, "In order to maintain the encirclement, they had to spread the team apart, which gave us various chances to break through. ”

Richard nodded and asked, "By the way, why did you hide the Dawn Knight? If we had allowed him to fight, we wouldn't have fought so hard." ”

"Didn't you notice? I've been looking for the commander of the Red Cossacks. Reilly smiled and said, "Once his location is confirmed, I will have the Dawning Knight lead an elite army to launch a surprise attack and take down this difficult fellow." ”

At first, Reilly wiped out several Red Cossack horse teams, but the enemy quickly adjusted their tactics and equipped each team with some cavalry that roamed the perimeter. Seeing this, Reilly hid the Dawn Knight and the puppet knights over level 10 from being discovered by the enemy commander.

"Why not an all-army assault?"

"If you do that, it's easy for the other party to escape. Reilly thought for a moment and said, "I think it's time to attract the attention of the Red Cossacks with a large force, and then let the puppet knights break into pieces and lurk in the bloodstained lands." When I find the commander, let the Knights of the Dawn lead them in a surprise attack and wipe out this difficult opponent in one fell swoop!"

Over the next few days, Richard and the Red Cossacks fought in the northern part of the Bloodstained Lands. In order to avoid being encircled, Richard deviated from his initial destination, but he repeatedly routed the horse corps of the Red Cossacks in battles of movement, inflicting heavy losses on the enemy.

In a series of battles, Richard's troops were reduced to about seven hundred. Although war is cruel, it is the only way to cultivate strong men, and everyone who survives has become a calm and fierce warrior. This small patchwork force is undergoing a metamorphosis in Richard's hands. They had fully adapted to Richard's command and were integrated into one.
