Chapter 6 The First Objective

Ten days later, Richard completed the reorganization of his troops and killed more than a dozen troublesome private soldiers.

On the eleventh day, the coalition forces set off from the Blue Water Oasis, and the Fortune Avenue Project officially began!

This time, instead of riding a horse as usual, Richard chose to ride in a car. Quicksand and Erin were also sitting in the car, and they looked at Richard intently, as if the boy was the center of the world.

"That's not going to work! We're going to have to gather the mages and the priests so that we can have the greatest effect. Richard frowned and said, "However, the mage is better to say something, those priests will definitely not listen to my command, what should I do......"

"Ignore those people. Reilly smiled and said, "I'll give you a team of puppet priests." ”

"That's great...... "A sharp pain suddenly hit, and Richard involuntarily hugged his head.

"Are you alright?" "What's wrong with you?"

Erin and quicksand rushed over, looking anxiously at Richard.

"I don't know what's wrong, I've had a terrible headache in the last few days!" Richard said bitterly.

Reilly opened his divine vision and carefully observed Richard's state. He noticed that Richard's soul was changing violently, which was why he wanted to hit the wall in pain.

Quicksand was completely panicked, and she threw all the magic she could at Richard's body, but that didn't ease his pain.

"Don't worry. Reilly smiled and said, "His soul is undergoing a metamorphosis, and there is nothing dangerous about this process. ”

Hearing his words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After a few minutes, Richard's body gradually stopped convulsing. At this moment, a hole opened in his soul, and a small milky white dot of light drilled out of it.

"Congratulations, Richard. Reilly smiled and said, "From today onwards, you have the ability to do two things. ”

"Dual-minded?" asked Erin, confused.

"A secondary consciousness has been born in his soul that can take the place of the primary consciousness. Reilly explained.

"Soul split?" exclaimed Erin, "It won't be a problem, will it?"

"I'm fine. At this time, Richard only felt extremely tired, and he hurriedly confessed a few words, and then fell into a deep sleep.

When Richard woke up again, the sun was about to set. With him unable to show up, Reilly took command and brought the army to their first target.

Camp Blue is a giant slave camp and one of the most important slave staging stations in the Bloodstained Lands. The camp was the size of a small city, and tens of thousands of slaves were held in it all year round. The camp was inhabited by an army of thousands in size, and the constant threat of horse bandits and riotous slaves had long since developed a strong fighting force and a ruthless style.

The owner of the Blue Camp is Count Rambert of the Iron Triangle. Originally a small knight, he had devoted all his strength to the slave trade in the bloodstained lands. Over the decades, the numerous slaves brought him great wealth. Based on this, the Count of Lambert has come to this day step by step. With a large army and several large slave hunters active in the Bloodstained Lands, he is also a notorious presence within the Iron Triangle Empire. Many aristocrats were reluctant to provoke this ruthless man who had made his fortune in the slave trade.

The Blue Camp was an important supply point between the Bloodstained Lands and the Iron Triangle Empire, where the Red Cossacks also purchased their estate.

After destroying a large number of caravans and strongholds by Reilly, the Red Cossacks withdrew from the Blue Water Oasis and then increased their forces in the Blue camp. By the time the coalition had set up camp ten miles away, fifteen hundred Red Cossack guards had gathered here, almost as numerous as the army of Count Rambert.

When Richard woke up, he learned about the Allied forces from Erin. He called Viscount Sim over and said, "At eleven o'clock in the evening, gather all the generals together to discuss the strategy of attacking the blue camp tomorrow. ”

"Eleven o'clock?" Chim thought strangely, isn't this the time to sleep? If you don't have a good rest today, where will you have the energy to fight tomorrow?

Richard nodded and affirmed, "Eleven o'clock!"

Next, Richard quickly eliminated the dinner, and then asked Reilly about the Blue camp.

When the coalition forces set up camp, Reilly sent a large number of dragonflies to watch the entire Blue camp. As a result, they can now visualize the inside of the Blue camp.

After observation, the two found that there were four city defense giant crossbows in the blue camp, which were placed on the four corners of the city wall. When they were looking at the camp, they happened to see each other conducting a test firing.

When a giant crossbow bolt pierced the night sky and landed on the ground 1,200 meters away, Richard's face changed. At this distance, most Magisters are unable to strike enemies. With enough tracking arrows, these giant crossbows can be called Magister killers. In addition, the tracking arrow can also add a long-range effect under certain conditions, and strike targets up to 2 kilometers away!

However, the construction of the Castle Defense Giant Crossbow is very expensive, and most of the materials are used to strengthen the attack, and its own defense is almost zero. Once attacked on the main body, these castle defense weapons will immediately turn into a pile of waste.

After the test firing, several dwarfs ran to the giant crossbow, constantly calculating something. Then, one of the gray-bearded dwarfs jumped onto the crossbow machine and directed a group of warriors to carry the pieces of iron ingots and fix them to the base of the crossbow.

"Gnome?" Richard was stunned for a moment.

"Well, are you interested?" said Reilly, playfully.

Gnomes are a race commonly found in many planes, they are small in stature and weak in strength. But these little men have extraordinary intelligence and dexterous hands, so they live well in most planes.

Gnomes are natural alchemists and have a great talent for magic. Reilly had long heard of the existence of gnomes in the Farro plane, but the realm created by the dwarfs was further west than the Pale Heights, with the impassable Dragon's Top Mountains in between, and had little connection to human society.

Both Richard and Reilly saw a dwarf in Farrow for the first time. The city defense giant crossbows in the blue camp are obviously from the hands of gnomes, so it is no wonder that they are far more powerful than ordinary giant crossbows. Even in Norland, there are many people rushing to ask for this kind of giant crossbow.

"These little things must be kept alive!" Richard nodded and said.

At midnight, the last two city defense giant crossbows had also been commissioned, and the blue camp gradually entered the dream. The scouts they sent had already determined the location of the coalition forces. Judging by the distance, the battle may start at noon tomorrow.

At this time, Count Rambert, who was thousands of miles away, had just taken out a copper tube from the claws of a swift eagle, read the information inside several times, and then walked quickly to the study, looked at the map hanging on the wall, and fell into deep thought.

On this map, the BLU camp logo is prominent. Two of the four transport routes controlled by Count Rambot pass through the Blue camp.

In addition to Count Rambert, there was also an elderly magician in the study, who read the information several times before he said: "Richard really only brought 10,000 men, and now there are 4,000 warriors in the blue camp, although the possibility of holding the camp is very small, but it can also make Richard pay a heavy price for this war." I think he'll think about it. After all, if the coalition forces suffer heavy losses here, they will not have the strength to continue westward in the future. We should have expelled the Red Cossacks sooner, and without these guys, it would have been entirely possible for Richard to bypass the well-guarded Blue camp and continue westward. ”

Count Rambert snorted heavily, and said, "It's the same with or without a red Cossack! Richard is not a guy who only has hatred in his eyes. However, if he wants to attack the blue side, then go ahead and try it! my troops are not the same as the redwoods!"

Hearing this murderous declaration, the Great Magician couldn't help but shudder. He cautiously asked, "Earl, Lord Sarenwell is still waiting for your news!"

Count Lambert's face became even more ugly, and he said coldly, "No, this kid still thinks I don't know what he has in mind?! The Bloodstained Land is indeed a piece of fat, but not everyone can come and take a bite." How much did it cost me, how many people I killed, to get everything I am today. He's just a prince who doesn't have a name, why should he put his hand in here? You just tell him that it's okay to enter the bloodstained land, and you can find a way to go yourself! Use me as a sword? There is no door!"

The archmage nodded and said, "Okay, I know how to answer." ”
