After leaving St. Louis Cathedral, Reilly joined up with Riven and launched an attack on the Isolian Magic Crystal Mine, while Richard fought a guerrilla attack in the Duchy of Solam, with only more than 800 men left in his army, and only one prisoner, and his mobility was even stronger than when he came.

Taking advantage of the fact that Solam's main force was attracted by Reilly, Richard killed the dukedom with lightning speed, and successively defeated three reorganized legions.

On the other side, Duke Solam gathered nearly 100,000 troops and rushed to the Isolia Magic Crystal Mine from three directions, wanting to surround Reilly's troops, but the latter did not give him a chance.

Before Duke Solam's army arrived, Reilly took the puppet legions into the kingdom of God, leaving the pursuers with nothing but an empty camp.

It was only then that the Duke realized that he had been fooled. That night, he left the army and went alone to hunt down Richard. The Duke has understood that he can't help Richard's small elite army on the battlefield, and the only way now is to solve the problem from the level of the strong.

There is no doubt about the action of the legendary strongman, even if he was led by Reilly to run hundreds of kilometers of wronged road, Duke Solam still found Richard's troops the next night, he drew his double sword without saying a word, and fell to the enemy's camp with a murderous aura, when the legendary strong man dispatched, the war should come to an end.

Richard's army set up a small camp in the mountains, and in the central tent, Richard was flipping through a canon of the Church of Radiance, and Martin was also sitting in the tent, and whenever Richard did not understand something, he would give the most detailed explanation, and there were two Knights of the Dark Blade standing in the tent, apparently guarding against Martin.

At this moment, a Knight of the Dark Blade suddenly said, "He has arrived." ”

Richard closed the holy book in his hand, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "That's really good, you don't need to wear this armor anymore." ”

"This thing is really uncomfortable. With that, the Knight of the Darkblade began to remove his armor, and as he took off his helmet, a handsome but somewhat evil face appeared in the tent.

Aceris, the dark magician.

Seeing Aceris, Martin's eyes flashed with a gleam and said, "I really didn't expect you to be so well prepared and endure until now." ”

Aceris had always dressed himself up as an ordinary Knight of the Darkblade, and even during the attack on St. Louis Cathedral, Richard did not let him show up, for the sake of this moment.

When Richard was improving, Aceris was not idle, after Hulan's battle, he thought about it repeatedly, and cultivated several powerful divine arts, and now as long as he is present, it is difficult for ordinary legendary powerhouses to escape.

On this night, an earth-shattering battle broke out in the mountains and forests, and the Duke of Solam was seriously injured and fled, and the encirclement and suppression of Richard by the Holy Tree Dynasty came to an end.

"Why don't you keep him? You can do it. Reilly said, looking at the looming figure in the distance.

Richard shrugged his shoulders and asked, "Then why don't you do it?"

"Because my current strength is not enough to fight against the entire Holy Tree Dynasty. Reilly said with a smile.

"Me too. ”

————————————————————

As soon as Richard and Reilly returned to the junction of the Holy Alliance and the Holy Tree Dynasty, the secret envoy of the church came to the door, this is a cardinal archbishop who is only one step away from the legend, and his rank in the church is equivalent to that of Chinese, which shows the sincerity of the Glorious Church.

Reports of battle on the northern front had arrived, and the news of Duke Solam's defeat had alarmed the commanders of the Holy Tree Dynasty, and Elijah had seized the flaw and annihilated a legion and captured an earl alive. After demanding a large ransom, Ellie began to retreat, and the war on the northern front ended.

This countess deserves to be a famous general in the world, with less than 30,000 troops and the enemy's 70,000 army for half a month, and the final losses of both sides are 4,000 and 13,000 respectively, judging from the comparison of forces and the final result, this is another big victory.

Ellie did a great job of her mission, holding back two-thirds of the elite forces in the Sacred Tree Empire's border area, allowing Richard to reach Tobul City.

In fact, half of the 100,000 troops that Duke Soram finally used to contain Reilly were local garrisons and improvised militiamen, whose combat effectiveness was completely incomparable with that of the regular army, and the Duke did not expect them to play any role on the battlefield, and brought them with him only to build a larger encirclement. However, Reilly's teleportation ability renders it useless.

While the Black Rose Castle was in sight, Richard and the Church's envoys finally reached a final agreement.

As the one who took the initiative to provoke the war, Richard released Martin on the spot and promised to pay the church an indemnity of one million gold coins, and the church acquiesced to the condition that Richard could keep all the holy relics taken from St. Louis Cathedral, which contained powerful magical items and things that could be used as sacrifices, but these were not things that the Church of Radiance could not give up.

For the Church, the value of a relic lies in history, not in its own function, and what the Seven Saints have used, even a branch, is more important than a legendary item.

Therefore, the envoy couldn't understand why Richard and Reilly had to keep those holy relics, so they had to take a fancy to the magical items and sacrifices inside, which could sell for about three million gold coins in human society, which was only a drop in the bucket for the Holy See.

In addition to this, Martin also kept the summoning power of the Holy Book as part of the spoils of war, and when he first heard his decision, the expression of the Holy See Secret Envoy was very wonderful, and when Martin said the number of troops he had summoned from the Holy Codex, he was relieved and no longer objected to Martin's decision.

Obviously, the summoning power of that holy book is not infinite, and even if it is not used up now, there is not much left, which is why the secret envoy cares so little.

Seeing Richard's expression, Martin said bluntly: "I have used up all the summoning abilities of this holy book, and every ten years, it will give birth to a new summoning opportunity, so it is still a little valuable, so I should sell you a million." ”

It can only be summoned once every ten years, and it can only be selected among the Silver Knight, the High Templar, and the Angel, which is equivalent to a quasi-legendary-level magic scroll, which is 500,000 yuan, but Richard still frowned and agreed. For him, the depleted tome had other values.

Seeing him accept the holy text, Reilly quietly breathed a sigh of relief. When Martin said that he wanted to keep this book, he was really afraid that the other party would send it to him, this holy book has an extremely powerful destiny power, and whoever gets it will be involved with a certain fate, which is not what Reilly wants.

In this way, the two sides reached a final agreement, and the Radiant Church regained face, at least on the surface, Richard paid compensation, and Richard let the Radiant Church see his strength and determination, and the secret envoy said that the matter in Carlando was a thing of the past, and the Radiant Church and the Holy Tree Dynasty would not pursue it anymore, and at the same time would restrain the Chinese, and Richard also said that he would give enough respect to the Temple of the Radiant Church in the future.
