Chapter 18: Unable to coexist

Two days later, the coalition forces embarked on the road to the west.

As he walked on the road, Viscount Unicorn couldn't help but ask Richard, "Chief, I heard that a group of people from the Mage Guild came two days ago......

Richard said lightly: "They are all dead. ”

Sim was shocked: "In this way, you will become mortal enemies with the Mage Guild!"

Reilly glanced at him and said, "Is there a legendary powerhouse in the Mage Guild?"

"Nope. Chim shook his head and said, "If there were legendary powerhouses, those guys would have turned the world upside down!"

"So we don't have to worry about any mage guild at all. Reilly smiled and said, "If they dare to come, then kill them all!"

Chim said excitedly, "You are so amazing that even the Mage Guild dares to ignore it. Let's just destroy it!"

Richard and Reilly looked at each other, both feeling angry and funny. In the past two days, they have learned from Fontaine and Sim about what the Mage Guild is all about. In the Kingdom of the Redwoods, both the Mage Guild and the Church of the Gods are behemoths independent of secular power. And in terms of status and wealth, the Mage Guild of the Sequoia Kingdom is still above the temple.

However, with the exception of the down-and-out gods such as the Three Goddesses, the churches of other gods are often scattered in all corners of the continent, with temples in several or even dozens of countries. In contrast, the structure of the Mage Guild is much looser. There are dozens of large and small mage associations on the Qihui Continent, and they do not belong to each other.

The Mage Guild and the nobility and the temple have long maintained a relationship of competition and cooperation. With a monopoly on magical items and alchemical potions, the Mage Guild was often able to amass an astonishing fortune that could then be used to expand. It was also normal for Chim to hate them, and it was impossible for any nobleman in real power to like things like temples and mage guilds.

Richard sells a large amount of enchanted equipment in Faro, which attracts the attention of the Mage Guild, who discover the origin of this elite equipment after a little investigation.

In fact, Richard's approach had already touched the core interests of the Mage Association, which is why the other party came to the door in a hurry. For the Mage Guild of the Sequoia Kingdom, it is in their best interest to maintain the status quo. What the Mage Guild hopes is that there will be no more high-quality equipment in large quantities in the future, and only in this way can the high price be maintained.

The reason why Kalimi put forward such harsh conditions was to force Richard to resist, so as to get an excuse to eliminate him.

On the other hand, Richard and Reilly will not give up the high profits of enchanted equipment either. Elite gear is just the beginning, and the real value is the Elite (that is, the Norland standard "epic") and even the Legendary gear. Those things can be sold for a sky-high price in Faro, allowing them to exchange for a lot of resources, and then make more equipment and builds to increase their own strength.

Therefore, these two people and the Mage Guild cannot coexist.

The reason why Reilly killed Kalimi and the others mercilessly was because he saw that the other party did not have a legendary powerhouse. Although he was only level fifteen now, he was confident that he would defeat the ordinary eighteenth-level archmages, not to mention the "archmages" of the Mage Guild who didn't know whether they were sixteenth-level or seventeenth.

This time, the coalition forces marched westward with a total of 15,000 men. Of these, there were three thousand warriors attached to Richard, and most of these people were selected from the slave camps. In addition, Reilly's puppet knight also broke the 1,000 mark. When this knightly order, whose entire staff had knights and even jazz levels, appeared, all the nobles were shocked.

The size of Duke Wolf's personal guard is only a hundred. Reilly, however, had a knightly order ten times the size of the Duke's Guard, and armed them to the teeth.

The first stop on the second westward march was Camp Canovinson. This 150,000-square-kilometer land is inhabited by dozens of non-human races, and they are full of contradictions among themselves, fighting and even killing almost every day.

Not to be outdone, the coalition forces were directed at the Canovenson camp, and hundreds of tribes banded together to form an army of more than 40,000 men and fought a decisive battle with the coalition forces in the gravel Gobi.

In the endless Gobi, the human warriors lined up in a tight formation, and there was a fierce collision with those loose but ferocious alien races!

In this war, the role of most of the strong is compressed to the limit, and Reilly has become more dazzling than anyone else. With the ability of the art of war, he became a self-propelled cannon with unlimited firepower, constantly firing fireballs at the enemy.

Originally, Richard had formed several squads of his brood knights and the most elite heavy cavalry in the aristocratic army, ready to attack the enemy's key positions, tear gaps in the battle formation, and let the infantry kill them. However, before he could act, Reilly used magic to complete the job.

As a steady stream of fireballs flew into the lines of the Tribal warriors, blasting out clearings, all Richard had to do was direct the infantry to fill the gaps.

Eventually, Reilly threw a full thousand fireballs in this war. The tribal warriors left behind more than 10,000 corpses and hurriedly retreated to the Canovinson camp.

The coalition forces pursued the victory and engaged the opposing side in a second battle in the Sweetwater Valley. The aliens poured out, and even the old and children went to the battlefield. This time, however, they were defeated faster and fled in less than three hours.

The human cavalry then began to hunt down the fleeing aliens, and by the time the fighting had finally subsided, the Sweetwater Valley had been stained red with blood.

On the third day, the coalition forces burned down the Canovinson camp and drove the aliens hiding inside into the wilderness. The fire lasted a whole day, and thousands of aliens were reduced to ashes in this man-made catastrophe.

However, neither the sentimental Richard nor the comfortable aristocracy were indifferent to this inhumane massacre. In the soil of Camp Canovinson, too, tens of thousands of human remains are buried. It's brutal, but that's the norm between races and races.

Next, the coalition forces launched a fifteen-day sweep, and the aliens who had gathered in Canovinson were almost wiped out. At this point, the road to the kingdom of the dwarves is a smooth one.

The position of the coalition forces is still more than two hundred kilometers from the Pale Heights, and there are no strong forces in this area. The ruins of Jubvar, Richard's other target, were the fabled capital of the Troll Empire.

However, as several major rivers dried up, the forests that originally covered tens of thousands of square kilometers gradually disappeared, and the troll empire went from prosperity to decline, and finally disappeared into the long river of history.

Richard stationed his army on the edge of the former troll empire, leaving the noble generals to recuperate. He and Reilly led their followers into the ruins of Jubwal.
