Chapter 63: After the War
Richard summoned his magic and let his voice resound throughout the battlefield: "Raymond, you madman! Do you want all the Norland soldiers to be buried for your ambition? Surrender! If you continue to fight, you will also be wiped out! I have forty-eight knights in armor!"
Hearing Richard's words, Raymond's face flashed with determination, ready to fight to the end, but he was stunned as soon as he looked up. The archmage who was guarding Raymond's side already had a look of fear and anticipation on his face.
In the face of the natives of the Faro plane, all Norlanders can see death as if they were home. Because they knew that defeat would result in either death in battle or being captured and killed. Plane wars have never been merciful, and for the Faroese, the invaders are all heretics, the spokesmen of the devil, and must be burned at the stake.
But Richard is not a native of the Farrow plane, he is a Norlander, and he also has a plane portal.
People know that Richard's subordinates lack strong men, whether it is the Sanctuary or the Grand Magus, as long as they can prove their loyalty, Presumably Richard will not refuse. In the final analysis, this is the war between Joseph and Akmund, the war between Richard and Raymond, and the war between those members of the family who are related by blood, and these strong men who are employed by Joseph have no reason to fight to the death.
A cry of anger and pain was heard not far away, and the gray-clothed old man jumped into the sky, blood constantly flowing from his body. He quickly fell to the ground again, apparently badly injured. As soon as he landed, the old man in gray was attacked by Gore.
At the most critical moment, the old man in gray got rid of the Duke of Blue Wolf and the Duke of Glasburg, and wanted to intercept the other party's constructed knights. However, Reilly suddenly flashed above the gray-clothed old man's head, and the undead shield slapped downward!
The gray-clothed old man raised his long sword and slashed at Reilly when he couldn't make a move! The gray long sword burst into a big gap, and the old man himself was stabbed by the ensuing black magic sword, spitting out a mouthful of black blood.
At this time, Lei Li was wrapped with lightning on his body, and his strength and speed were not weaker than ordinary Sacred Domain powerhouses!
In the end, the old man in gray let out an unwilling roar and was pierced through the heart by Gore. The Black Magic Sword contained powerful dark energy, and in order to counter this power, the gray-clothed old man consumed most of his fighting energy, and was finally killed by Gore.
At this time, a golden light appeared in Raymond's sight, which was the brilliance of divine magic. The Grand Magister beside him immediately recognized the origin of the divine light, and said with a wry smile: "Lord Raymond, do you see it? That's the priest of the Eternal Dragon Temple casting a divine spell, Richard has already taken root in Faro, and he even dares to let the priest of the Eternal and Time Dragon openly participate in the war!"
This was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Eventually, Raymond slowly closed his eyes and announced his surrender.
Richard looked around at the hellish battlefield and felt no joy at all.
Less than a thousand Norland fighters surrendered, and most of them were seriously wounded. Almost all of the strong men were killed in the battle, and only the archmage beside Raymond survived.
Richard's side also suffered heavy casualties, with a total of nearly 70,000 troops, and in the end there were less than 20,000 left!
Among those who survived, there were more than 5,000 seriously wounded, and although they could not die, they could not remain in the army. If they could be treated by the priest within a day, most of these ordinary warriors could be cured. However, the number of priests and priests is limited in any plane, and it is unrealistic to want to heal everyone.
Now, Richard's descendants had less than 4,000 troops left, including 400 humanoid knights. The nobles of the Redwood Kingdom were also badly damaged, losing most of their army.
At this time, the Duke of Blue Wolf was lying in a tent. His face was extremely gloomy, his skin was a strange dead gray, and there were several inconspicuous wounds on his waist, which were the marks left by the old man in gray. The pale golden aura of magic shimmered on the Duke of Blue Wolf, but it had no effect.
As Richard and Reilly walked into the tent, Quicksand stood up from Duke Greywolf and shook his head at them. Clark looked at Reilly, his mouth opening and closing a few times, but finally didn't say anything. Both he and Quicksand were helpless against Duke Wolf's injuries, and the priests of the three goddesses would have nothing to do.
Reilly said lightly: "You guys go out first, and I'll have a few words with the duke." ”
Richard nodded, and led the others out of the tent.
Reilly walked up to the Duke and injected a wisp of divine power into him. The Duke of Blue Wolf perked up his spirits, turned his head to look at Reilly, and then slowly raised his clenched right hand.
A small but delicate seal was held in the hand of the Duke of Greywolf, and it was cast in lapis gold, with a lifelike wolf head carved on the top. A faint force was entrenched inside the seal, and the aura emitted was very similar to that of the Duke of Blue Wolf.
Duke Blue Wolf smiled helplessly and said, "It seems that my luck is not very good, and I should not be able to survive this time." ”
When Richard's Constructed Knights entered the battlefield and two Norland Sanctuaries were killed by Gore, the old man in gray was clearly aware of the danger. He struggled to break free from the entanglement of the Duke of Blue Wolf and the Duke of Glasburg, and wanted to intercept the Constructed Knight. Naturally, the two dukes would not let go, so the old man in gray made a terrible killing move and repelled them.
At that time, the Duke of Glasburg's position was in the rear of the flank, and he was lucky to get rid of that terrible vindictiveness. Duke Blue Wolf's luck was not very good, and he was directly hit by the long sword of the gray-clothed old man.
Reilly smiled and said, "Actually, you can live, but you have to give up this body." ”
Duke Blue Wolf's eyes lit up and he asked, "How to do it?"
Reilly turned on the divine vision, looked at the Duke of Blue Wolf carefully, and said, "You have condensed a trace of divinity according to the method I gave, which can be completely transformed into the Holy Spirit, and then intercept the power of faith and ignite the divine fire." ”
"What?!Intercept the power of faith?!" Duke Blue Wolf said in shock, "What about the souls of our ancestors?"
If the Duke of Blue Wolf intercepts the faith of all the people, then the ancestral spirit of the Blue Wolf family will not be nourished, and it will gradually weaken. It was an almost devastating blow to the patriarch-worshipping family.
"Isn't the ultimate goal of ancestor worship to become a god?" said with a smile, "Now that you have the opportunity to become a god, do you still need to care about the spirit of the ancestor?"
"......" Duke Blue Wolf was silent for a while, and then said, "Reilly, we're friends, aren't we?"
"Of course. Reilly took the seal he handed over and said solemnly.
"Help me take care of Perrin and let him follow you. In addition, my fiefdom was given to Toffler, who was my other son. This process can be a bit of a hassle......"
"For me, the Redwood Kingdom is no longer a problem. Reilly smiled and said, "If anyone dares to jump out, I'll kill him!"
