The next day, the coalition sent all their cavalry to pursue Reilly, and Zaku personally led an army of 20,000 to meet Richard. However, Richard did not engage in a decisive battle with the coalition forces, but kept retreating, never making direct contact with the opposing side.

On the other side, upon hearing the news of the division of the coalition forces, Reilly quickened his march and left Samon far behind. Although he was anxious, the deputy head of the Kingdom Knights did not mess up. Whenever the soldiers' physical strength was exhausted to a certain extent, he would stop the troops to recuperate. In such a situation, Reilly could not find any opportunity to take advantage of it.

"It's really leaky!" Reilly smiled and said to himself, "Although you can force the group, it will cause a lot of losses." It seems that we still have to look for a breakthrough from outside the battlefield. ”

Over the next three days, Reilly ignored Samon and attacked the nobles of the Sequoia Kingdom again, capturing three viscounts, four barons, and seven knights, as well as their immediate families.

Samon tried to catch up with him several times, but he eventually suppressed the urge. If he forcibly pursues the soldier regardless of his physical strength, he is likely to run headlong into the enemy who is waiting for his work and be routed.

However, although Samon was able to make the right judgment, Zaku did not give him a chance to choose.

"This damn pig!" Samon tore up the order from Zaku and roared, "Pursue the enemy day and night, is he going to send the knights of the kingdom to their deaths!?"

Unbeknownst to Samun, what he said in a fit of rage was a true reflection of Zaku's thoughts. The golden-robed mage was determined to shine in the war, so he changed his robe to a dark gold.

Zaku paid a huge price to win the position of commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, but not for the sake of going through the motions. Lane had privately promised to promote Zaku to vice president as long as he could win the battle and as long as he sat in the position of president.

So, Zaku didn't care if Samon could beat Reilly at all. All he needs is a stable rear, even if it is to drag Reilly with his life, Zaku doesn't care.

In fact, the coalition forces were already on the verge of catching up with Richard's main forces. According to Zaku's predictions, the two sides will have a decisive battle in the area of Sunset Plain, when the time comes, Richard will be wiped out in one fell swoop.

However, the situation in the rear has reached a precarious point. If Reilly is allowed to continue to destroy, even if the coalition wins, it is no different from defeat.

Everywhere he went, Rayleigh would cripple the local lord's army and take the lord himself and his immediate family away. As a result, the territory he patronized became a piece of ownerless fat, and anyone could take a bite. The "reinforcements" sent by the other lords were only to fight the autumn breeze and spread their "logistics" costs on the lords, while the uncles and brothers of the captured nobles simply lived in their castles.

If Reilly continues like this, the entire Sequoia Kingdom may fall into turmoil, which is not what the royal family and the Mage Guild want to see.

The seventh day of the Midsummer Moon is destined to be an important day in the history of the Redwood Kingdom.

At Sunset Plains, Richard set up a tight formation to meet the 20,000-strong army led by Zaku. The golden-robed mage directly gave the order for the whole army to attack, wanting to complete the battle. However, less than ten minutes into the start of the battle, five troops appeared on the battlefield from all directions, encircling the coalition forces.

The next moment, the thousand humanoid knights that Richard had placed behind converged into a torrent of steel and rushed straight towards Zaku's Chinese army!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zaku immediately began to chant a spell, wanting to turn the situation around with the powerful eighth-level magic. However, Richard opened a bronze-covered magic book, and then waved his hand and released a seventh-level burst fireball!

Everyone was stunned.

Instantaneous seventh-level magic? Richard is only thirteenth!

Zaku hurriedly interrupted the eighth-level magic that he had prepared halfway through and began to bless himself with defensive magic. However, Richard flipped through the book in his hand and let out a second and third burst fireballs! Then, he shouted "Quicksand!", and a magic spell fell. Then Richard started throwing fireballs again. Although this time it was just an ordinary fireball spell, the casting speed was incredibly fast! Eight fireballs formed a line and flew straight towards Zaku!

Seeing this scene, a thought immediately flashed in the hearts of the other two golden-robed mages: Zaku must be burned to ashes!

However, what they could judge, Richard could also judge, so he immediately turned to another golden-robed mage. The latter only had time to let out a roar before being engulfed in a raging wave of fire.

The two Farro Sanctuaries on the coalition side were about to make a move, but were stopped by Luo Fu and Baron Fontaine.

The next moment, Gangde rushed into Zaku's Chinese army like a beast! Five knights in costume followed him closely, and there was no enemy in their pass! Then, thousands of mannoid knights followed the gap they had opened, and fiercely cut through the line of the coalition army.

At this point, the war has lost its suspense.

At the Battle of Sunset Plains, the coalition forces were routed by Richard in one fell swoop. Of the 20,000 troops, 5,000 were killed, 3,000 were captured, and the rest scattered and fled. In this battle, the coalition army lost two Faro Sanctuary and three golden-robed mages, and none of the priests were spared.

After this battle, the name of Richard's military god spread throughout the Redwood Kingdom.

On the other side, Samon overdrew his soldiers' physical strength to pursue Reilly, but his opponent did not turn back to meet him as he expected.

"It's really worthy of being a famous general of the Sequoia Kingdom! It's all at this time, and he hasn't given up hope of winning......" Reilly looked at the map of the Sequoia Kingdom and said to himself, "But, I won't give you a chance to be strong!"

After saying that, he led his troops to rush to the territory of Count Marko, the biggest supporter of the Mage Guild.

Upon hearing the news, Samon hurriedly chased after him. Although he didn't believe that the Count of Power would be easily defeated, Samon knew that the patience of the royal family had reached the limit, and if he didn't fight with Reilly, he, the deputy head of the Kingdom Knights, would definitely not end well.

Losing his composure, Samon was ambushed while crossing the Madden Bridge and was killed by Gore without even seeing Reilly's face. The next moment, thousands of water arrows shot out from the Onyx River under the bridge, sending the knights of the kingdom to hell.

In the battle, the 7,000 cavalry of the coalition army were all wiped out, the deputy commander of the Kingdom Knights and two sixteenth-level captains were all killed, and the largest inland river in the Sequoia Kingdom was stained red with blood.

After the Battle of Sunset Plains, Richard did not rush to march, but announced that he would accept the surrender of the nobles of the opposing camp. Even the nobles who had just fought each other on the battlefield could be blamed as long as they were willing to join Richard's command. Richard gave the nobles three days to think about it. After three days, he no longer guaranteed the safety of the enemy nobles.

This declaration caused an uproar in the Sequoia Kingdom.

In fact, with the exception of a few families who had long shared the honor and disgrace of the Mage Guild, most of the nobles did not really support the trade rules of the Guild. For most nobles, it was a shackle around their necks. There are many nobles who privately agree with Richard challenging the monopoly of the Mage Guild, but they don't want to be sanctioned by the Mage Guild, so they can only join the coalition. After all, the strength of the Mage Guild has been ingrained in the hearts of the people for the past hundred years.

Before the Battle of Sunset Plains, Richard didn't look like he had a chance of winning, so the nobles mostly sided with the Mage Guild. However, no one could have imagined that the situation would suddenly evolve to this point.

While the other nobles wavered, the group of nobles captured by Reilly simply threw themselves at Richard. When Reilly slaughtered the knights of the kingdom, they witnessed the whole process not far away. In the eyes of these nobles, Reilly was far more terrible than the Mage Guild. What's more, Richard also made a promise to help them regain their territory.

Three days later, Richard again began his march. This time, he took only cavalry and the more mobile barbarian warriors and grenadiers, and went on the attack with Reilly's puppet army. In just one day, they swept through the five territories that Rayleigh had visited, and slaughtered the nobles of the tribe that had taken over the magpie's nest.

Whether in Faro or Norland, aristocratic societies have no shortage of records of bloody suppression of rebellious branches. Even the royal family can't just intervene in this kind of thing. Although Richard's approach is a bit overstepping, no one will pursue it at this time. The nobles understood what he meant: "This is what will happen to my enemies!"

Shocked by blood and fire, most of the nobles of the Redwood Kingdom chose neutrality overnight. In the end, only six local nobles stood firmly on the side of the Mage Guild, and the royal family broke its long-standing silence and sent three thousand knights of the kingdom.

Now, the entire Sequoia Kingdom is waiting for the final battle to come.

This time, Ryan, the vice president of the Mage Guild, personally went into battle and led the army to a decisive battle with Richard in the Red Water Valley.
