Chapter 11: The Harvest
When assembling in the square in front of the temple, Richard's team had dozens of extra horses, carrying bundled weapons, armor and other trophies.
The temple had been searched, and in addition to the strange page, Richard had obtained fifty processed magic crystals. In addition, Quicksand collected two boxes of the God of Courage's canons for future research. To everyone's incomprehension, she also took more than five hundred divine scrolls stored in the temple.
The Divine Scroll can only be cast by the corresponding clergy, and Richard's team doesn't have a priest of the God of Courage, so everyone can't figure out what the quicksand is doing to collect these things.
However, the most surprising thing is not the quicksand, but the Reilly.
Everyone's eyes widened as he put the idol and altar of the god of courage into storage.
"How big is Mr. Reilly's storage space?" said Quicksand, giving him a thoughtful look at Reilly.
"Hehe, a girl who is too curious, but she will be spanked!"
"So, who's going to spank my ass?" quicksand blinked.
"Richard. ”
"Why is it on me again?" complained Richard in dissatisfaction.
Reilly and Quicksand glanced at each other, and then said in unison, "Because of love!" Looking at their serious expressions, Richard felt the urge to die.
Erin and Minnie Mouse's laughter rang back, and Gond and the Foot Knights tried to make a serious expression, but their trembling bodies betrayed them.
In Priest Essin's room, Richard found a diary. The diary is half as thick as the top and bottom covers, and an intricate magic lock is added to the clasp. Once the crack fails, the furious energy will turn the diary into ashes in an instant. Seeing this tight protection, Richard knew that the diary contained something very important.
Richard decided to take this diary back first, as for the magic lock, it is essentially a kind of magic array, he looked at it casually, and knew that this magic lock was not difficult to break.
"Yo, the guys outside are starting to attack the city. Reilly smiled and said.
"Only now?" Richard was surprised, those people were so inefficient?
"No way. Reilly shrugged his shoulders and said, "They don't have siege weapons, and they don't have a big advantage in numbers, so if it weren't for the temple fire, these guys might still be confronting the warriors on the walls." ”
"How's it going?"
"All 500 people pressed up. ”
"What's going on?" Richard was shocked. In the absence of siege weapons, this practice is no different from sending to death.
"It's a stupid decision from a military point of view; Reilly smiled and said, "At least it proves Baron Fosa's devotion to the god of courage." ”
Richard turned his head, pointed to the closed Baron's castle and said, "This is Baron Fosa's piety?"
Reilly smiled and said, "You know. ”
Richard got back on his horse, glanced at the Baron's Castle again, and said regretfully: "Baron Fossa seems to have become wiser, and he can't save him when he dies." ”
"If you want to go in, just attack directly. Reilly said lightly.
"The baron still has an elite guard of dozens of people under his command, and we don't have siege weapons, the losses of the assault are too great, and now we can't afford to reduce our numbers at all. Richard shook his head and said.
"Isn't that easy?" Reilly shrugged his shoulders and said, "Wouldn't it be better if we went and wiped out the army outside, and then used the troops as the main force to attack the castle?"
Richard's pupils shrank, and he said expressionlessly: "After capturing Baron Fosa's castle, how many of those surrendered troops will remain?"
Reilly thought for a moment and said, "Forty or fifty." ”
Richard gritted his teeth and said, "Even if they surrender troops, they shouldn't be sent to death, that's more than 200 lives!"
"Richard, what you need now is not mercy and glory, but victory!" Reilly pointed at Erin, then at Quicksand, and then at Splash, Gonde, Minotaur, Trinity, Tiramisu, and the ten Foot Knights, and said, "If you are not willing to trade the lives of those surrendered soldiers for victory, then the consequences of defeat will fall on these people's heads!"
“...... I understand. Richard straightened his back and said, "Thank you for your advice." ”
The next moment, Richard rushed out of the city with his cavalry. Baron Fosa's troops were fighting for the walls with the remaining surrenderers, and they did not expect that the invaders would go out of the city to fight, let alone that Richard had a cavalry on his hands.
When Richard's "tanks" burst out of the city gates, Baron Fosa's troops were taken by surprise, and then the cavalry that rushed out cut their line in front of them. At this point, the suspense of the battle has been lost.
After disposing of the reinforcements, Richard gathered all his troops under Baron Fosa's castle, where a fierce battle broke out. The Barons' Guard was no less combative than the Templars, and they won the respect of Richard with their blood and courage, and took the lives of more than 200 surrenderers.
In Baron Fosa's castle, Richard was pleasantly surprised to find a full hundred magic crystals. In addition to this, there are various kinds of property worth 300,000 gold coins.
In the early stages of wealth accumulation, plunder has an incomparable advantage. Although this practice will stain the first pot of gold with blood, it can allow people to get a certain amount of capital in the shortest possible time.
In order to take all the valuable things with him, Rayleigh also specially summoned ten Kodo beasts to use as a means of transportation.
After getting what he wanted, Richard left Baron Fosa's territory with his team.
As the night was about to fade, Richard, Reilly, and Quicksand raised their heads almost at the same time and looked northwest. At night, a brilliant meteor pierced the sky and fell to the earth, and the dazzling tail flame lingered for a long time.
Casters with keen perception could sense that the space-time turmoil in that direction was in turmoil. After the meteor fell, there were bursts of thunder in the originally clear night sky!
Reilly looked up and looked up at the sky. Just now he felt several large and distant wills, their angry roars invoking the power of nature, causing thunder to emerge in the night sky, giving the people on earth the feeling that the sky was about to fall.
(Is this the Faroese gods...... )
Reilly smiled and said to Richard, "It looks like another group of invaders have come to the Faro plane. ”
Looking at the place where the meteor fell, Richard calculated its landing point and distance, and compared it with the map in his mind. Hearing this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Good thing! In this way, the eyes of the gods of Faro will not be all on us." ”
"Richard, we should be careful. Minnie said worriedly.
Richard smiled, "Don't worry. I don't know what kind of team is coming this time, but it's still stronger than our team that was supposed to go to the lower planes, right? ”
"They're just a little bit higher. Splash said coldly. In the death training camp, almost all the prey she killed was two or three levels higher than herself, and sometimes even four or five levels higher.
"Wouldn't it be better if it was just a high level?" Richard laughed and said, "That way, we can get a precious set of dimensional coordinates." ”
Quicksand reminded him, "Generally speaking, only the primary plane can establish a passage to the secondary plane. So, what we get is most likely the coordinates of another main plane. ”
"Wouldn't this set of coordinates be more precious in that case?" replied Richard lightly. Realizing the deep meaning of his words, the people behind him gradually became a little enthusiastic.
