Chapter 53 Return to the plane

After taking care of all the trivial matters, everyone quieted down, waiting for Richard to choose the direction of his next move. In front of Richard, there were several maps lined up, namely Faro, Midori, Hulan, and Tutlan where Asiris and Cold Erndon were stationed.

Seeing Richard take out these plane maps, everyone was slightly excited. This means that Richard will temporarily leave the Desperate Battlefield and return to the Plane War.

Between several planes, Richard was a little undecided. Eventually, his gaze fell on Hulan, and he said, "Let's go here and have a look!"

Semir raised her beautiful eyebrows, a little surprised, and then looked at Richard with interest. Richard, however, issued a series of orders to redeploy the work of his followers. The reorganization of the warriors of the Black Rose Castle has been completed, and a full 3,000 infantry knights have been formed. One after another, **Akmund, as well as **warriors from other families**, rushed to ask to join the army. As a result, Richard now has a full three hundred candidate Construct Knights on his hands.

Richard sent someone to recall all of Faro's followers, and a hundred elite Knights of the Darkblade. Now Richard's Crimson Duchy only has Anlekara and Mika in charge of the overall situation, but Richard believes that as long as Anlekara is there, Faro's human kingdom will not dare to do anything now.

It will take two more days for all the followers to assemble, and this is the time for everyone to go their separate ways.

As always, Richard spent his time in the war room studying the map, and from time to time asked Semir about the situation and customs of Hulan.

Hulan is a rather peculiar plane, the entire plane is only a piece of less than a million square kilometers, surrounded by oceans. Such a small land is more appropriate to say that it is a large island than a **. Like an uneven fusiform, the ends are pointed and the middle is wide. The terrain is low in the south and high in the north, and the northernmost point is the highest snow-capped mountain in the whole world, with an altitude of more than 10,000 meters.

Gordon's foothold is in the southernmost part of the world, and after more than ten years of business campaign, it now occupies two-fifths of the entire world. The local aborigines of Hulan are also quite fierce, with the help of the traces of the Great Rift Valley in the middle of the **, they actually blocked Gordon's troops, and launched a tragic tug-of-war and positional warfare here. The battle lasted for three months, and the forces of the Plane consumed more than half of Gordon's army at the cost of three times the casualties, and finally forced Gordon to halt his advance.

If he did his best, Gordon would not be able to completely defeat the natives of the Hulan plane that day, but the price would be particularly heavy, and the army recruited from the plane might be exhausted. At that time, Gordon will face a mess again. Hulan's development process is actually very low, which can be seen from the fact that the cost of teleporting a person in the plane is as high as 30,000, such a high cost, so that Gordon, who is extremely short of military funds, can only teleport a very small number of elites back and forth, and in the later stage, as Gordon's stall is getting bigger and bigger, only the thirteen knights can enter and exit Hulan.

The reason why Richard chose Hulan is because it is a rather bizarre plane, the whole ** is pitifully small, and it is surrounded by the sea. According to the local natives, there is no end to the sea, and from ancient times to the present, there have been countless people who have gone to sea, but have never seen any of them come back. And the people of Gordon found that there was no life in the sea, only salty water. Salt can be extracted from the sea, but there is no life, not to mention whale sharks, and even a piece of seaweed cannot be found. Therefore, in the dictionary of the locals, there should be no such words as fish and shrimp. However, in a mysterious temple occupied by Gordon, murals of mysterious and vast life in the sea were discovered.

Richard looked at Hulan's map and felt that something was wrong. He frowned and pondered for a moment, then asked Semia next to him, "Where did this map of the Hulan plane come from?"

Even in Norland, maps are important, precious, and hard-to-obtain strategic resources. Although Huland is very small, the elaborate nature of the map is extraordinary.

"We took a temple and found this map from inside," Semir said. At first, we didn't take it too seriously, but then we realized that the map was surprisingly accurate. Then we made many copies of the original map, replacing the map we had drawn ourselves. ”

Richard pointed to the highest peak at the northern end of the plane and said, "So these places are also copied from the original map?"

"Yes, what's so strange?"

"No, nothing. Richard shook his head, but he was always a little uncomfortable. This uncomfortable feeling mainly comes from the highest peak at the northern end of **. On the map, the highest point of this peak is almost the same as the coastline, which means that the northern edge of the sea should be a 10,000-meter-high sea cliff. This is not like a naturally generated terrain, but it seems to have been cut off from the ** by some powerful god. And the name of this highest peak is called the God's Nest.

Richard and Semir chatted for a long time, and learned more about the situation and customs of Hulan. Although Hulan is small, he has a fairly powerful power system, and the strongest here has also reached the legendary level, and there is more than one. Hulan has a fairly developed magical civilization, but what has developed is not Norland's magic pattern structure, but a sage totem similar to Carlando. Warriors with totemic patterns on their bodies are obviously stronger than others.

Hearing about Semir's introduction, Richard suddenly thought of something, quickly took out an alchemy calculator, and began to quickly calculate with reference to the number jΓΉ on the map.

Semir stood quietly on the sidelines, waiting for the results. It was a full half hour before Richard straightened up, frowning in thought.

"What's wrong?" asked Sema, who had never had much patience.

"There's something wrong with the size of the plane. According to the plane mathematics calculations I have learned, if the plane wants to produce a strong person who has reached the legendary level, the area should be much larger than it is now, and the area must be at least 10 million square kilometers or more, and it must meet many harsh conditions. Now Hulan is indeed too small, even the creatures above the fifteenth level are very reluctant. ”

Semir didn't know anything about plane mathematics, but he finally understood what Richard meant, and said, "There is indeed a legendary powerhouse there, and we once met one." However, he was only seriously injured at the time, and finally let him escape. ”

Richard's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, pondered for a long time, stretched out his hand and slapped it on the map, and said, "I understand, this is it, let's attack with all our might!"

"Attack with all your might?" Semir was taken aback, she knew very well how many troops Richard had gathered, and if he brought all the elite troops over, then the cost of channel transmission alone would be more than 10 million gold coins.

"This plane must have a heavy secret, and it is also appropriate to invest more. Richard said lightly.

"How much are you going to put in?"

"All followers go, Constructed Knights go to a hundred, and Elite Darkblade Knights all go. ”

Richard's words made Semir take a breath!

She and Richard had not been fighting side by side for a long time, and had not yet fully appreciated the difference between Richard and Gordon. In the eyes of this paladin, who was more concerned with the ornate exposure of his armor than the others, Richard was just a little richer than Gordon. However, Richard's elite Darkblade Knights who are now stationed in the Black Rose Castle already have a full 400 people! Counting the Constructed Knights and Followers, Richard will pay more than 15 million in plane teleportation fees!

It's not a matter of having a little more money than Gordon. Quantitative change leads to qualitative change, and as Gordon said, if the outbreak exceeds people's capacity, it will be accepted. Just like the bloodthirsty Philip, now that His Majesty's deeds have been excavated again, even the almost whole-life dragon ribs that must be eaten at every meal have actually become a popular fashion today. It's just that in addition to the top wealthy families, of course, the average nobleman can't afford to eat dragon ribs, even the hind legs of the earth dragon, so they can only eat a piece of raw beef casually to show fashion.

Semir looked at Richard's gaze and suddenly became tender. It didn't take long for this little boy to become such an attractive man, which really surprised her. In Semar's eyes, wealth and power are both part of a man's power, and they are the most important part, it would be better if he was handsome, and it didn't matter if he wasn't handsome. For a man who can throw fifteen million dollars at the teleportation fee alone, it doesn't matter what he looks like.

In fact, Richard was also quite depressed, this time he sacrificed so many sacrifices, and there was not a single option for plane channel enhancement, which made him quite helpless. Perhaps this is the characteristic of the Dragon Sacrifice of Eternity and Time, which will always give you what you want, but not what you need.

Semir suddenly reached out and put his hand on Richard's shoulder, leaning half on Richard's back, his bulging chest was clearly attached to Richard, and asked with a smile: "If I also give you a follower, how much can I get?"

Richard looked up and asked, "Be my follower?"

"Hmph! I was still young at the time, and he just gave me this suit of armor in the first place, and I was deceived into selling him his life for more than ten years, and it was enough for a long time. You know, little girls are easy to deceive! Now, all you have to do is give me three suits, no! five suits of armor, and I can become your follower. You see, my requirements are not high at all, and if you don't have ready-made armor, then you can discount it or give it to me!" Semir sparkled with gold coins in his eyes, and his enthusiasm was like fire.

Richard glanced at her armor, and the deepest impression was that in addition to her overly full ** breast, the armor's defense was so low. The material of Sema's armor is very good, but the magic attribute is very average, and the defense bonus is surprisingly low. This armor is at best fine-calib, not even epic. However, looking at the preciousness of the materials and the excellent workmanship, it should indeed be close to the epic product.

"Five sets, no problem!" Richard immediately agreed to Semir's terms.

Not to mention five sets of fine-level armor, even five sets of epic ones, Richard can also take them. If Richard remembered correctly, in Neris's private arsenal was a set of quasi-legendary-level armor, light and gorgeous, in the style of women's armor.
