A day later, Richard returned to his territory with his troops.

"Richard, what are you going to do with those corpses?" asked Reilly.

"Just like we did last time in the Blue Water Oasis, hang them on stakes. Richard thought for a moment and said, "Remember to do some treatment of those corpses so that no one can see who they are." ”

"Anyone with a discerning eye knows who they are, and you're just leaving a fig leaf for some guys. Reilly shrugged his shoulders and said, "Let Gonder get it." ”

So, Richard found Gangde.

"No problem, chief!" the big man took over the task of disposing of the corpse. Then, he said, "By the way, the strength of that knight leader is not weak, at least thirteen levels. Do you want to hand him over to Mistress Reilly, and maybe make a powerful puppet knight. ”

"That's right!" Richard nodded. In dimensional warfare, every ounce of resources must be fully utilized. With quicksand, brood, and the help of Reilly, Richard can transform the soul and body of his enemies into his own power, making the most of almost all his resources.

So, Gonde commanded the soldiers to pick out the bodies of all the officers. Afterwards, hired workers worked with the sandmen to arrange the corpses, sprinkle them with antiseptics, and then dispose of them by Reilly.

Soon, Richard erected nearly 800 wooden stakes on the border between himself and Barony Fontaine's domain, and the corpses of the "bandits" hanging from them quickly became a hot topic in the neighborhood. The news spread like wings, and in just a few days, it spread throughout the Sequoia Kingdom. Thus, Richard and his wasteland knight once again attracted the attention of the kingdom's higher-ups.

The Pioneer Knight who came out of nowhere has become a talking point, and people talk about him at countless tea parties, dinners, and card tables. The surname Akmund had never been passed down in the Farrow plane, and Richard's official lineage had been unsuccessful for four generations, so he was unfortunately classified as an upstart and labeled a "cold" one.

However, the aristocracy did not object to Richard's approach, as it was one of the common means of dealing with bandits.

This incident had little effect on Richard's territory, which was originally an undeveloped land with a pitiful number of inhabitants. And in the eyes of some people with a heart, this is definitely a big deal.

In the secret room of the castle at dusk, a middle-aged nobleman smashed the teacup in his hand and yelled at Baron Fontaine's younger brother: "This is your good idea! All 800 Eagle Banner Knights were killed in battle, and they were hung in the wilderness! Tell me, how is the end now?"

"My lord, it is absolutely insulting that Richard dared to kill the Eagle Banner Knights and hang their corpses......!

With a snap, Baron Fontaine's younger brother was pumped upside down and fell into a cart with tea sets. In the face of this field count with royal blood, Baron Fontaine's younger brother neither dared to resist nor dodge, so he had to take this slap firmly.

Seeing this, Baron Fontaine put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Lord Latour, this seems to be a bit excessive, right? Even if George did something wrong, I should punish him, shouldn't I?"

Latour saluted Baron Fontaine and said, "I'm sorry to make you laugh." "He dared to fight George, who was level 11, but he didn't dare to be rude to Baron Fontaine, who was level 15. In fact, even the Duke of Glasburg would treat a powerful man who could enter the "Sanctuary" at any time.

Baron Fontaine sighed, and then said to George: "Richard has identified them as robbers who have destroyed their faces, and it is impossible to confirm their identities at all. ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't think it through. George got up and whispered.

Count Latour let out a snort, then looked at him with disdain, and said, "Do you think this matter can be easily settled? That's eight hundred Eagle Banner Knights! How do you want me to explain to their families? Now there is not even a relic, let alone a pension." If it weren't for that stupid plan of yours, how could they all be wiped out!"

"Didn't you support this plan in the first place?" George roared in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.

Baron Fontaine said apologetically: "I am to blame for this matter, if it weren't for the fact that I said that Richard was going to transport a batch of important goods to Deep Rock City, those Eagle Banner Knights would not have died at his hands." ”

"Lord Fontaine, it's not your fault. Count Latour shook his head and said, "The information you provided is very accurate, but we all underestimated Richard's combat effectiveness. ”

After learning of his target's whereabouts, Latour and George devised a plan to attack and kill Richard. Although they also knew that Richard had brought three hundred knights to escort the convoy, the Knights of the Eagle Banner had never taken a nouveau riche order of knights seriously. Even if you look at the entire Sequoia Kingdom, these Eagle Banner Knights with an average level of seven are also first-class elites.

Before the battle began, both Latour and George believed that the eight hundred Eagle Knights would be able to defeat Richard without any suspense. However, reality gave them a resounding slap in the face. Everyone was shocked to see the bodies of those Eagle Banner Knights hanging from a stake. In addition, since all the knights died in this battle, the outside world does not know what the specific situation will look like.

Although Latour and the others have also found the battlefield, it has been destroyed by the well-intentioned. In the end, they were left with nothing but shock and doubt.

After venting his anger, Count Latour's face was extremely gloomy. He had long been mentally prepared for Richard's counterattack, but he didn't expect the opponent's counterattack to be so sharp.

This time, the Count of Latour clearly understood the weight of Richard, which must not be measured by the standards of ordinary knights. So, he thought of another identity of Richard.

Pioneer Knight, this title originated thousands of years ago. At that time, humans occupied less than one-fifth of the land it currently has. As a result, various countries have canonized a large number of pioneer knights, allowing them to explore areas that have not yet been set foot by human civilization.

It was a time of heroes. Countless pioneer knights, holding their banners aloft, led their modest armies into a dark world that their ancestors had never set foot on.

Countless alien races fell under the banners of the pioneer knights, and the territory of the human kingdom continued to expand outward. From the current point of view, those achievements are simply incredible! However, the blood of foreign races and the fertile land are irrefutable and irrefutable proof that one after another pioneer knights stood out in the war and became the heroes who stood proudly on the tide of the times.

In those years of burning passion, a large number of strong people sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the characters under the legend were not even qualified to leave their names in the epic. When later generations of scholars studied this period of history, they called that turbulent period of more than 100 years a glorious age.

During that period, the Pioneer Knight was the loudest title. When a pioneer knight runs into the distance with dozens of men, no one knows if it will be a prologue to a legend.

And now, the Count of Latour saw in Richard the shadow of the pioneer knight of the Glorious Age. This title has been lost in history for so long that most people have forgotten its former glory and glory. Now, it seems that the glory of history is about to bloom again in that young great magician.

However, the Count of Latour, who was well acquainted with history and politics, knew that if this glory was to be restored to its former glory, it would have to be fueled by countless bloods.

"We must do everything in our power to eliminate this Richard!" Eventually, he came to a conclusion that even he didn't want to believe.

Judging from the military strength on the surface, both Chim's troops and the eight hundred Eagle Banner Knights could easily eliminate Richard instead of being completely annihilated by him. However, the end result was exactly the opposite of what one expected.

Now, Count Latour decided that it was necessary for them to assemble a fully armed army, with enough priests and magicians, and an experienced general to command them, so that they could eliminate Richard.

(Perhaps, we need to dispatch the powerhouses of the Sanctuary?)

The thought popped into the head of Count Latour. Although it was said that the dispatch of the powerhouses of the "Sanctuary" would make things impossible to hide, Count Latour instinctively sensed an aura of danger, a fear that he did not want to admit, forcing him to have the idea of crushing the enemy with all his might.

Yes, the enemy. In Count Latour's mind, Richard was originally a cannon fodder to divert attention from the purpose of carrying out a certain plan. And now his danger has risen to the level of the enemy.
