Chapter 5 Military Parade

After sending Sim away, all Richard and Reilly had to do was wait. The process of assembling the coalition forces will be very long, and it will take half a month for the forward troops alone, and at least a month for the whole army to assemble.

During this time, Reilly threw his mind and body into the world of constructs, and finally completed the first fourth-order construct in his life: the Spectre Mask. This build allows Rayleigh to cast spells with two stacks of Spell Penetration, ignoring the target's magic resistance at both levels.

After completing the build, Reilly went outside for a walk. By this time, most of the nobles' armies were already in place and camped outside the Blue Water Oasis.

The camp of Viscount Sim and Baron Fontaine was next to Richard, and groups of well-groomed soldiers patrolled along the established route. Other than that, there is no other place to be found.

In comparison, the private soldiers of other nobles were far behind. Duke Wolf's vassals were better, except that a few warriors were roaming around, and the private soldiers of other nobles even ran en masse to the Oasis City to have fun.

Looking at the camps, which were either empty or filled with noise, Reilly smiled playfully.

"This is ...... human being"

The next day, Richard began a parade of the nobles' armies.

All the private troops were pulled to the same venue in turn, and Richard and the nobles stood on a high platform to watch. After some comparison, people have an intuitive impression of the quality of each unit.

The vassals of the Duke of Blue Wolf were mostly militants, and their army was naturally elite. However, Viscount Sim's army was superior to them, much to everyone's surprise.

In fact, this force was formed by the Earl of Canglu and the Duke of Glasburg with elite soldiers. In addition, Sim's mother also transferred a group of elite fighters from her mother's family, which can be said to be a bloody investment.

And when Richard's humanoid warrior and Reilly's puppet knight appeared, all the nobles were shocked.

A full 700 ninth-level warriors! And 500 knighted knights! This force is fully capable of annihilating the Duke of Glasburg's Eagle Banner Knights!

Compared with a month ago, most of the representatives of the nobility have been replaced by generals who know how to command the army. Seeing the expressions on these people's faces, Richard knew that his goal had been achieved. After intimidating the nobles by force, the rest of the reorganization work will be much smoother.

As the commander of the coalition forces, Richard wanted to make his orders clear to every soldier. However, the private armies of the nobles, who were uneven, had a weak sense of discipline, and no one could expect them to enforce the same rules as Richard's descendants.

Therefore, Richard had to break up these troops, and then reorganize them according to the branches, and let them master some basic formations.

After the parade, Richard summoned the nobles and announced his reorganization plan directly. As expected, several generals blew up on the spot and accused Richard of plotting misdeeds.

However, Viscount Chim, Baron Fontaine, and several other nobles attached to the Duke of Blue Wolf immediately expressed their willingness to obey all Richard's orders. Seeing their attitude, most of the nobles chose to obey, and in the end, only one noble general with two hundred private troops was left who insisted on refusing to accept the reorganization, and asked to withdraw.

Reilly smiled and said, "Don't you think it's too late to quit at this time?"

The general immediately jumped up from his chair, brandished his sword and shouted, "What do you want to do, I'm the ...... of the Redwood Kingdom."

Before he could finish speaking, Reilly flashed in front of the general, grabbed him by the neck with one hand and lifted him up, and then threw the general to the ground with a fierce force.

The choke was thrown down, and the nobles only felt that the entire conference room shook twice. And the twelfth-level general fainted directly, and there was no room for struggle.

Reilly's attack was lightning fast and unexpected. The general was just bluffing and making a gesture, and he didn't really want to do anything to the boss in public. But who would have thought that Reilly would suddenly make a move, and he, a magician, would actually use his fighting skills to bring down a twelfth-level warrior!

Originally, Richard had intended to teach the general a lesson himself, but that would damage the image of the commander and be detrimental to the unity of the coalition forces. If the followers were allowed to do it, it would cause dissatisfaction among the nobles. However, this man's behavior of the coach drawing his sword must not be tolerated, so Reilly made a move. Although he did not have a noble title himself, the status of the fifteenth-level great mage was no lower than that of any of the nobles present.

Richard understood this, Reilly understood, and the nobles also understood.

Richard glanced at Reilly in surprise, it was the first time he knew that the latter was so strong. From Richard's eyes, of course, he could see that Reilly's power skills were not very good, and he was completely crushing the general with his strong strength.

"Guys, Richard and I both know that many of you will be unhappy with the reorganization of the troops, but it is all necessary work. Reilly looked around the venue and said, "If we want to rely on this little bit of people in our hands to get through the bloodstained land, then we need to turn them into a whole and maximize their combat effectiveness." ”

He's right. Richard nodded and said, "If anyone wants to quit, I'll give you a chance ten days after the battle starts." At that time, those who don't want to do it can leave with their troops. ”

As he spoke, Richard glanced at the nobles present, and then emphasized again: "Remember, that will be your only chance, and your last chance. ”

After the meeting, the nobles walked out and talked about their opinions. Many people saw Richard's intention in agreeing to ten days, that is, to give them hope for success. As a result, people remembered Richard's glorious achievements, and even a few nobles had a heated discussion. However, Viscount Chim's face soon turned iron-blue. The nobles were so engrossed in talking that they forgot for a moment that most of Richard's well-known exploits were built on Viscount Sim and his father.

It wasn't until the unicorn viscount couldn't bear it anymore and coughed heavily that the nobles remembered the matter and changed the topic one after another. It didn't take long for people to start discussing how many kilometers Richard could go in ten days. Some say he can advance thirty kilometers, others say he can advance fifty kilometers, and in each of these two sections there is an important point that must be attacked.

Chim also forgot about his previous unhappiness and joined the discussion, insisting that Richard would be able to travel 80 kilometers. The nobles all knew about the unicorn viscount's personality and did not argue with him much. However, the faces of these people were somewhat dismissive, and they thought that Sim was desperately trying to raise Richard to cover up his incompetence. After all, the unicorn viscount was so badly defeated at the hands of Richard.

In fact, most of the nobles of the Sequoia Kingdom did not know that the people who ambushed Sir Odom were Reilly and Baron Fontaine, and that Richard and Chim were not present.

On the other hand, most nobles also forget that the quality and equipment of their private army is inferior to that of the unicorn family.
