Sarenwell once said that he did not have the slightest confidence in defeating Richard with equal forces. Ryan is a genius in the field of magic, but his ability to lead battles is far inferior to that of Sarenwell.

However, Ryan himself believes that magic is above all else, and mastering magic is equivalent to mastering the truth, so nothing can stump him. So, Lane led an army of 20,000 to meet Richard's 20,000 troops.

As a result, during the Battle of the Red River Valley, Reilly used his ability to calm down and instantly send out a meteor shower. With the triple amplification of talents, constructs, and power guides, the power of this ninth-level magic is almost catching up with some legendary spells.

Ryan watched in amazement as more than a dozen meteorites fell from the sky and fell into the coalition line! The Knights of the Kingdom, who had high hopes, did not play a role, but collapsed like the rest of the troops.

Subsequently, Richard cut through Lane's central army, Countess Catalina and Baron Fontaine routed the enemy's left and right flanks respectively, and Reilly's puppet army swept across the battlefield like a gale, cutting off the back of the coalition army!

Seeing that the general trend was gone, Ryan directly opened a portal, wanting to escape the battlefield with random teleportation. And at this time, a short sword suddenly stretched out of the air and instantly pierced through Ryan's heart!

The Battle of the Red Water Valley ended in a complete rout of the coalition forces.

In this battle, the coalition side lost two more Farro Sanctuaries and two golden-robed mages, and Ryan, the vice president of the Mage Association, was not spared. All 3,000 knights of the kingdom were killed in battle, and not even a single prisoner was taken!

At this point, Richard has become one of the most powerful figures in the kingdom, comparable to the three major dukes. The Sequoia royal family has been hit hard, and its position has been challenged like never before.

That night, Reilly quietly left the main force and disappeared into the night.

President Theodore of the Mage Guild returned to power, and he immediately captured two golden-robed mages from the Ryan faction, wanting to seek peace talks on this condition. However, while the high-level members of the Mage Guild were busy in a meeting, Reilly suddenly appeared in Lausanne and attacked the headquarters of the Mage Guild!

Under the attack of a full thirty Knights of the Dawn, the Mage Guild quickly fell. Except for Hoover, who was far away from Lausanne, the remaining eight golden-robed mages of the Mage Guild, along with the president Theodore, were wiped out! In addition, all the mages whose magic power reached level 10 were slaughtered by Reilly, and none of them were spared!

After the news came out, the entire Sequoia Kingdom was shocked! The royal family and the three major dukes immediately sent envoys to ask Reilly to stop the attack, and Hoover even hid directly in the royal capital.

At this point, the war between Richard and the Mage Guild ended with the fall of the latter.

When he saw Richard again, Reilly noticed that something was wrong with the kid's expression.

"Hey~hey~hey!You've won the battle and you're still crying, what are you doing?"

"It's not that exaggerated, is it?" Richard smiled wryly and said, "I just think everything the Sequoia royal family and the Mage Guild do is funny. ”

"Why?"

"For a kingdom, the war that has just ended is a crucial battle that determines the political landscape. However, if you look at the whole of Faro, this is just a local war on a slight scale. Richard raised his head, looked at the sky and said, "And Faro is just a secondary plane. ”

"Huh. Reilly smiled and said, "If His Royal Highness Su Helen saw what you did, he would probably think it would be very ridiculous." ”

“...... So I can't laugh at all right now. Richard sighed and said, "Reilly, what do you think is a plane war?"

"Plane war?" Reilly thought for a moment and replied, "It's something akin to eating." ”

"Eat?" Richard's eyes widened, "What does the plane war have to do with eating?"

"How can I say that......" Reilly said, "Eat to get nutrients and replenish your body, and conquer the Otherworlds to gain wealth and resources for your own survival." So, I think eating and war are actually the same thing. ”

"No!" Richard frowned, "War is a demon that destroys life, and this cannot be confused with eating! Watching countless lives wither before your eyes, don't you feel a little touched?"

"In this way, the essence of war and eating is much closer. Reilly smiled and said, "Aren't all other lives you eat every day?"

“...... I am a human being, and I can only think from a human point of view. Richard was silent for a moment and then said.

"That's a good answer!" Reilly shrugged his shoulders and said, "However, you're not qualified to think about these questions right now!"

"That's right. Richard smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "There have been countless amazing and brilliant figures in Norland's history, none of them have been able to crack the secrets of the plane war, but have thrown themselves into it one by one, what right do I have to think about this?"

"So......" Reilly patted Richard on the shoulder and said, "You just need to recognize your own strength and then use your talents within this range." When you become a real powerhouse, you may have unexpected gains when you go back and think about these questions. ”

“...... Thanks, I feel much better now. Richard suddenly noticed a delicate bone shield hanging from Reilly's left arm, and asked, "What is this?"

"A treasure. Reilly smiled mysteriously.

After destroying the Mage Guild, the undead shield flew out of the Tower of Eternity. Like the Dark Magic Sword, the Undead Shield is also an epic equipment that surpasses the legendary level, and is only one step away from an artifact.

After the quest to conquer the Bloodstained Lands is completed, a new quest is released:

[Side Mission 4: Independence]

Objective: Help Richard break away from the Duke of Blue Wolf and become an independent nobleman.

Reward: Skull Crown.

For this task, Reilly doesn't have any good ideas at the moment, but he is not in a hurry. Now that the situation in Faro has stabilized, the gains need to be digested, and it is not appropriate to start a war lightly. So, he followed Richard back to Norland.

When the two returned to the floating island of the Akmund family, Faust was already covered in night. Richard didn't feel sleepy, and sat in his study drinking sullenly. Reilly ignored the tangled guy and went to his guest room to sleep.

The next day, Reilly went to his study to look for Richard, only to find some suspicious marks on the floor. So he gave Richard a middle finger: "You stallion." ”

"Don't worry about it, single dog!" said Richard angrily.

"Who's going to care about you?" Reilly spread his hands and said, "What's the plan for today?"

"I'm going to meet with Nereth today, are you going?"

"Go, of course!"

Reilly then followed Richard out of the castle and into a small building on the hill behind Faust. Although this area is not a floating island, it is also the territory of the royal family, and no idle people are allowed to enter and exit.

Nereus and Agamemnon were already waiting in the box, while Reilly took Gore with him. She carried a demon sealing box with three million worth of constructs.

After eating, Richard handed the Sealing Box to Neris, who opened it and carefully examined each piece of the structure. After half an hour, he said with surprise on his face, "The bonus of the build is a little higher than last time! Oh my God, how much time has passed!"

Richard thought for a moment and said, "In the Faro plane, it's been more than four months. ”

"It's only been four months!" Nerith exclaimed exaggeratedly, "If other Builders want to increase their bonuses, it will take them five or even ten years! But you only need four months! Maybe you'll soon be able to make a great Craftsy that can be used for Composite Builds! Did you know that a few years ago there was a superb Beginner Agility that had a bonus that was close to that of a second-order build! That build was a legend and sold for a sky-high price on the spot! Richard, I think if you continue to progress like this, it will be possible to make such a legendary construct!"

Richard opened his mouth, let out a few notes of unknown meaning from his throat, and finally said only one sentence: "I fight for ...... Don't regress......"

Neither Nereus nor Agamemnon understood Richard's meaning, but Reilly knew right away: the costume was probably made by Richard when he was in Deep Blue.

(Hehe, he really deserves to be the future saint constructor)

And in the next moment, Reilly's eyes were almost blinded by Neris! I saw the fourth prince slap Richard on the shoulder and shouted, "As a man, how can you be so unconfident!" His anger actually produced an unstoppable feminine charm!

At this moment, Reilly didn't even dare to look directly into Nerith's face.
