Chapter 33 The Peak Turns Around
After the battle, Reilly came to Sarenwell, smiled and said, "Your Excellency seems to be a person of great status, I don't know how much ransom you can get in exchange?"
Hearing his words, Sarenwell secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My family is also wealthy, and I will not let you down in terms of ransom. "Since the other party is willing to abide by the rules of the game between the nobles, then his safety is guaranteed to a certain extent.
By this time, the puppet knights had killed all of Sarenwell's guards, leaving only two female mages trembling.
"Won't you invite me in and sit down?" said Reilly, gesturing to Sarenwell's carriage, "without it, I would not have been able to confirm your noble status." β
Sarenwell smiled wryly and made a "please" gesture and said, "Is that why you attacked me?"
Reilly shrugged his shoulders and said, "With the wealth that this convoy represents, it will take at least three thousand guards to deter the predators. β
Sarenwell shook his head helplessly and said, "Even if there are three thousand guards, it is impossible to stop your knights. He had already seen that the knights under Reilly were all of level 10 or above strength, and they were also equipped with sophisticated-level enchanted weapons. In the Iron Triangle Empire, the emperor's personal guard is only of this level.
Upon entering the carriage, Reilly saw the map on the wall at a glance. His eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "What a good thing! Look, this map alone makes my trip worthwhile!"
Sarenwell sat down and said, "Now, it's yours." β
"I'm not going to take advantage of you, this map counts as part of the ransom!" Reilly thought for a moment and said, "Also, if you have any requests, you can also ask for them." I wouldn't mind helping you if you could get paid properly. β
"Your demeanor is truly admirable!" said Sarenwell, his eyes lit up, "I will tell you the truth, I have a very important task on my shoulders, and I need to hurry to the predetermined place to meet my companion as soon as possible. If you can release me early, I'm willing to pay 300,000 gold coins for it. β
Reilly thought for a moment and said, "Can you tell me about the content of this mission?"
Sarenwell's face changed and he hesitated: "This ...... May I think about it?"
Reilly smiled disappreciatively and said, "That's right, I'd like to see a few other carriages too." With that, he literally stepped out of the carriage.
Looking at Reilly's back, Sarenwell fell into deep contemplation.
By this time, the puppet knights outside had finished cleaning the battlefield and had changed into the armor of Sarenwell's Guardian as Reilly had requested.
Once again, the convoy set off and slowly moved along the original path. Even if the Red Cossacks came, it would be difficult to perceive the changes, and this was exactly what Reilly was for.
Three hours later, two horsemen came from afar and handed over two pieces of information to Reilly.
"Lord Sarenwell, the secret forces of the Iron Triangle Empire have arrived at their intended location and have joined up with the private armies of the two Marquis of the Sequoia Kingdom, as well as the forces of the Church of the God of Courage, to form an elite force of two thousand people. This also included two hundred Imperial Knights, two hundred Templar Knights, and more than a dozen clerics. Now that the unit has been reorganized, it's up to you to take over the command. Reilly put a piece of information in front of Sarenwell and said.
"If you can immediately send fifty knights to escort me to the Red Mountain Kingdom, I am willing to pay a million gold coins for it. Sarenwell said solemnly.
"Don't worry, let's take a look at the next piece of information first. Reilly smiled, then picked up another piece of information and read, "The black-armored demons from the Alternate Plane have breached the Oasis of Dusk, slaughtering more than two thousand lives on the spot, and then building an army of more than three thousand. β
"Three thousand!" said Sarenwell, with a mocking smile, "it seems that these guys have given a weapon to all who can move." β
"Lord Sarenwell, I have a proposal, would you like to hear it?" said Reilly, smiling mysteriously.
"Speak. β
"Let's go to the Redwood Kingdom together and participate in this battle against the invaders!"
ββββββββββ is divided into two endsββββββββββ
Richard's team hid in a stone forest, seizing every minute to regain their strength. The fighters were exhausted to the extreme, and many were lying on the ground snorting and sleeping. By the time of the battle, Richard's magic power was still half left, and Erin and Minnie had fallen into a state of mana exhaustion. The most worrying thing is that the quicksand and Essien's divine power are about to run out.
In the succession of battles, the number of Wind Fangs was reduced to twelve. Being able to consciously accept Richard's orders, these combat units play a role far beyond their own combat effectiveness. Without them, Richard would not have been able to command his troops.
At this moment, the combat effectiveness of Richard's regiment had fallen to the bottom.
In a recent encounter, Richard had his followers use all of their burst skills to concentrate on an area, killing more than a hundred enemies in an instant. Faced with this situation, the cavalry, which numbered more than five hundred, actually scattered and fled, and could not even organize a decent counterattack.
In fact, that battle was initiated by Richard on his own initiative. After a long search, Reilly found Sarenwell's convoy. So, he asked Richard to turn his troops to the east, crush a Red Cossack cavalry, and then throw off the pursuers. Rayleigh himself gathered the scattered puppet knights and launched a surprise attack on Sarenwell.
In the end, both men achieved their stated combat goals. Richard broke through a cavalry of the Red Cossacks, leaving all his pursuers behind. On the other hand, Reilly not only captured Sarenwell, but also got many unexpected gains.
Half an hour later, Richard stood up with the stone wall beside him and walked towards the staggering warriors.
"Get up, get ready for battle, let's teach the bunnies who are following them a lesson, and let them know who the boss of the Bloodstained Lands really is!"
Amid Richard's shouts, the warriors rolled over one after another, grabbed their weapons, and prepared for battle. After a series of fierce battles, these men had become gods to Richard and obeyed almost instinctively all his orders.
Five minutes later, billowing sand rose on the distant horizon, and a cavalry chased after Richard's trail. Their appearance was about the same time as Richard's prediction, much to the boy's satisfaction. Since the wisdom talent has evolved to the second stage, Richard's grasp of the battlefield has become more accurate.
At this time, the sky is just beginning to lighten. The leader of that team was clearly a master and was able to track down his prey accurately in the dim sunlight.
The number of enemies was small, only about two hundred horsemen. The flags and costumes of the other party are unfamiliar, and they appear to be a new team. Feeling the hatred and fear of the sandmen and barbarians around him, Richard understood that this was a slave hunting team.
When he was about to enter the stone forest, the knight at the head suddenly restrained his horse. His sharp instincts told him that danger lurked in the stone forest ahead.
The next moment, a crossbow arrow silently pierced the air and shot at the knight leader!
The angle of the arrow was very tricky, and the timing was just right, and the knight leader had no time to make any other moves, so he had to pull the reins and let the horseman stand up, blocking the arrow for him.
The next moment, the knight leader suddenly felt a chill surging up from his back, and the power in his body was quickly drained, and his eyes went dark, and he fell off his horse.
Seeing that the knight leader was killed by the splash, Richard quickly issued a series of orders. Led by Wind Fang, a group of warriors rushed out of the stone forest and killed the enemy.
Before the two sides could make contact, Minnie's fear spell and York's trap had fallen into the ranks of the Red Cossacks, leaving at least fifty knights in disarray.
The next moment, the two teams collided fiercely. In Richard's eyes, the battlefield was like a chessboard, and the troops on both sides were pawns. Not only can he freely manipulate his own pieces, but he can also control the direction of the enemy's pieces through a series of actions.
The battle was as fierce as usual, and although the slave catchers had the advantage in individual strength, they were suddenly attacked and their leader was killed in an instant, so they were defeated very quickly.
Richard hastily cleaned up the battlefield and then headed north with his team.
This route was tens of kilometers away from his original trajectory, and even if the Red Cossacks set up an ambush in the north, it would be too late to change now.
