On this day, the blue water oasis boiled. Thousands of warriors left Oasis City in full order, heading for Richard's predetermined battlefield.

The nobles of the Redwood Kingdom were also mobilized and formed a coalition army at the call of the royal family, preparing to go to the Baroque Kingdom to fight through the passage provided by the Duchy of White Rock and three other principalities. This army is small in number, but the lineup is very luxurious. The royal family and the three dukes sent a large number of magicians, and the Church of the God of Courage also dispatched the Knights of the Templar and the Priests of Battle.

However, when the news came out that Richard responded to the call of the three goddesses and was ready to fight the invaders to the death, many nobles immediately changed their minds and transferred back the troops that were originally going to join the royal expeditionary force, wanting to join Richard's team.

These nobles had already worked with Richard more than once, so they were well aware of Richard's demands on soldiers and command. In that war that ran through the Bloodstained Lands, Richard showed extraordinary command skills. Not only can you achieve more victories with him, but you also suffer far fewer casualties than usual. So, these nobles decisively threw off the royal family and chose Richard's ranks instead.

As a result, the 15,000 expeditionary force originally prepared by the Sequoia royal family became 7,000 in the blink of an eye. In desperation, the king had to send 3,000 royal private soldiers to gather 10,000 for the expeditionary force.

Just as the royal expeditionary force was assembled and ready to go to the battlefield, a new news came. Richard sent a notice to all the nobles who had joined his army to assemble at the predetermined battlefield.

The general who led the royal expeditionary force was a veteran of many battles, and the more people who knew about military affairs, the more they were in awe of Richard's achievements.

So, when the old general spread out the map and outlined the battlefield that Richard had prescribed, his eyebrows suddenly furrowed. If Richard's judgment was as correct as ever, it would mean that the invaders would crush the Baroque Kingdom's coalition of more than 100,000 troops head-on, then capture the three fortresses in its territory, make a large circle along the edge of the turbulent land, gouge through the four principalities along the way, and finally reach the battlefield that Richard predetermined.

It seems incredible. Not only did the invaders have to crush hundreds of thousands of troops from all countries along the way, but they also had to walk a long way to get to Richard's location.

Could it be that the invaders were targeting the Bloodstained Lands? However, the general could not understand why the invaders had abandoned the fertile lands of the Baroque Kingdom and the surrounding region and persistently marched towards the Bloodstained Lands.

What was the Blood Lands? or, as some rumors were said to be, Richard was actually inextricably linked to the invaders?

This question crept through the general's mind, but he immediately denied it. Although the three goddesses are called the three wasted gods, they are also the gods born from the Faro plane, how can the people they approve have anything to do with the devils of the other plane? Even if they do, it is an undying hostile relationship.

Or do you believe in another way of saying that behind Richard stands a rising new god?

The general shuddered, and waved away the thought of questioning Richard faster than before. In the history of Faro, it is not uncommon for conspirators to thwart the birth of the new gods in various ways. Vicious rumors are the most common tactics they use, and the result is often divine warfare or divine punishment.

――――――――――――――――――――

The western part of the Baroque kingdom is the Gobi, an area that was once inhabited by few creatures, but now it is very lively. The cavalry was either wandering around, or looking into the distance from a wide range of views.

A cavalryman walked around a stone pillar more than ten meters thick, and a large open flat field appeared in front of him.

This is a weathered veteran, his face covered with the marks of time, but his eyes are still sharp. He glanced at the flat land, saw nothing unusual, and prepared to ride through. However, the old horse, who had been with him for a long time, refused to move forward, but neighed and stepped back.

The cavalry was startled and squinted his eyes and looked ahead. The next moment, the scene in the center of the flat ground began to distort and deform, and a dazzling light appeared in the air, as if it was a sharp blade, breaking through the space!

For a time, the eyes of the cavalry could not see anything. However, he was very good at blocking direct sunlight with his hands, and after a brief period of blindness, his eyesight slowly recovered, and he could barely see what lay ahead.

Hundreds of meters away, a huge portal had taken shape, and groups of heavily armed warriors were emerging from the water-like light curtain. Their armor is very different from the style of the Faroese nations, apparently from some mysterious place.

(Intruder!)

The cavalry almost cried out. He took out a short red stick from the bag around his waist, and with the flip of a switch, it could fly hundreds of meters into the air, transmitting the signal far away, so that magicians within a hundred kilometers could accurately locate the intruder's portal.

As he put his hand on the switch, the cavalry hesitated. The vanguard of the invaders had just come out of the portal and had not yet discovered his whereabouts. However, once the warning signal is raised, it is almost impossible for him to escape.

The cavalry clutched the flares tightly, sweat was constantly breaking out on their heads, and the green tendons at the corners of their foreheads were bursting and throbbing.

At this time, the intruder's warriors were still coming out of the portal......

Whether you can find the location of the intruder at the first time and attack head-on when the opponent is not ready will directly affect the subsequent battle situation. This is a war that affects the entire plane, and no one can escape it.

The cavalry gritted his teeth and unscrewed the flare vigorously, so that the red short stick immediately flew into the air, and at the same time emitted a dazzling red light, drawing an extremely striking trajectory in the sky, which lasted for a long time.

After doing all this, the cavalryman only felt that all the strength of his body had been drained, and he immediately turned around and fled desperately into the distance.

At the vanguard of the invaders was a burly general, who was shouting loudly for the warriors to advance a little faster to make room for the follow-up troops. At this moment, a red magic signal came into the general's sight, and he immediately looked into the distance, and soon spotted the fleeing cavalry. The general snorted, took off the astonishingly large longbow on his back, and shot a sharp arrow with a fiery light. Cavalry hundreds of meters away!

The next moment, the upper body of that cavalryman was blown to pieces, and a rain of blood was sprinkled in the air!

With a thunderous voice, the general commanded the soldiers to set up their formation, and sent out a group of cavalry who had just stepped out of the portal to hunt down nearby enemy cavalry.

More and more fighters came out of the portal, and when the scale exceeded 10,000 people, chaos finally inevitably appeared. The general's voice was already a little hoarse, but the warriors who had just come out of the portal were still in a semi-dizzy state, where could they find their way? This is also the price of teleportation through temporary passages, and ordinary warriors tend to suffer greatly, more tiring than a long march.

At this time, the second general walked out of the portal, which made the previous general breathe a sigh of relief. The two men worked together to restrain the troops, and finally maintained order.

At this time, the earth suddenly began to shake, and the distant horizon was filled with smoke and dust, rapidly advancing as far as the eye could see. A large number of cavalry have appeared, and they are rushing towards the portal!

The faces of the two generals changed, their eyes were sharper than ordinary people, and they could see from a distance that they were light cavalry. However, seeing the billowing smoke and dust, the two generals quickly judged that the attack had exceeded 10,000 light cavalry. So, how many follow-up troops will there be?

The warriors who had already exited the portal quickly formed formation, with hoplites in front, dragonkemen behind, and the cavalry outside also retreated, ready to meet the enemy.

The Faro cavalry rushed to the front of the formation, and they did not dare to attack the Dragonlance phalanx of the Norlanders, so they split into two and outflanked the two flanks, preparing to directly attack the rear near the portal. The Faro Plane has fought many wars to destroy invaders and has a wealth of experience. The general in command of the light cavalry knew very well that the huge portal in the rear was the key.
