Chapter 69 War

When Richard returned to Faro, all the remaining followers were immediately given the order to summon them. So they rushed back to Bluewater Oasis City from all directions. In the blink of an eye, another year had passed for Farrow.

As usual, Richard wanted to leave Gangde behind, but as soon as this powerful man heard that he was going to fight with the Holy Tree Dynasty, he refused to leave anything. But Richard can't take all his followers away, and he has to leave someone behind to monitor Anlekara's movements, in fact, to spy on Raymond. The brood may sometimes be unaware of Raymond's schemes, but it is not easy to fool his followers.

They quarreled back and forth, and finally left the elven poet Oral. The elven poet is still stuck at the seventeenth level of the boundary and cannot be breached, but he is good at intrigue and trickery, and it is most suitable to maintain the situation and contain Raymond. In the time that Richard was away, Oral just had to maintain the status quo.

The brood is still producing a steady stream of Darkblade Knights and Horsemen, which are now the core of Richard's forces in Faro. And when the brood received Richard's order, it gave Richard a big surprise. Star Chrysalis came to Oasis City with two special combat units, one was Crimson, but she was now one of the Big Three, and her comprehensive combat power was equivalent to that of an ordinary human Sanctuary. But the other talent was the real surprise, it was a man with an extra large head, and a strange helmet of iron blue on his head at all times. It was the same as the crimson armor, it wasn't a helmet, it was bone armor that grew directly out of the head.

This is the thinker. He doesn't look much different from ordinary humans, except that he is fast enough, his combat effectiveness is simply zero. But as his name suggests, this is no ordinary combat unit, but a special split-brain, and the special thing is that the brood also uses divinity to construct a soul for him. So he, like Crimson, has self-awareness, has his own ideas, and can learn and grow.

The Thinker, like the Qiē Brood Elite unit, can communicate directly with Richard. On the battlefield, the thinker would be Richard's most direct and powerful aid.

Later, Richard met with Luoqi alone. Under the influence of the leaves of life, her appearance has not changed much from before, but her personality is much calmer. For the past few years, she had spent almost all of her time in the magic room, especially when her magic power stopped growing when she reached level fifteen, and Luo Qi knew the limits of her talent. Frustrated, she plunges headlong into the world of constructs, seeking ways to complete more advanced constructs with less magic.

In Luoqi's eyes, this is the world of magic, and there is no word for 'impossible' here.

Richard's original magic room was no longer enough, so Luo Qi simply found another place and built a large-scale magic workshop, in which dozens of mages recruited from Deep Blue were working, and there were more than two hundred low-level mages as auxiliaries. Luoqi herself is responsible for the final assembly of all the constructions. Just look at the mountains of sealed magic boxes, you can know how diligent she has been in the past year.

Walking around the magic workshop, Richard was also quite shocked by this scale, and at the same time felt very sorry for Luoqi's efforts. So after seeing the finished workshop, Richard said to Luoqi: "Come back to Norland with me and go to war." ”

Luo Qi was obviously very eager, but finally hesitated and said, "But I can't leave ......"

"Do you have an assistant?" asked Richard.

"Two construction apprentices have been trained, and both of them can complete the final drawing of part of the build. ”

Richard immediately said, "Then I'll give it to them first." Come back with me, it's only after the war that we know what kind of structure we should have. ”

Luoqi seemed to want to say something, but just nodded silently.

At night, Richard sat quietly alone in the former residence of quicksand.

The city outside the window is still lit up and prosperous. The city is now a large city with a population of nearly 100,000 people, which has increased several times in size, and people continue to come here in search of opportunities to soar. Oasis City has become a paradise for adventurers. But the people in the city didn't know that Miè was creeping in, and probably the rest of Faro didn't either.

This is the plane where he and Quicksand have fought together, and this room is where Quicksand has always lived. But now that she's gone, it's almost impossible to see each other again.

It wasn't until he lost it that Richard suddenly understood the true place of quicksand in his heart. Without her, there was a huge void in Richard's world.

In the void, Richard felt nothing but loneliness and coldness.

When the sun shone through the window on Richard's body, his body felt a little warmer. Richard stood up, his gaze scanning the room again. The room was cleaned up and everything was moved. And the life of quicksand is as simple as it is to the extreme, and there are never too many personal things. Richard tried to find something to honor her, but found nothing. The quicksand walked very thoroughly, taking away what a qiē was able to take. Not only her, but even Io and Naiyu have erased a trace of their own existence.

The night passed, and at dawn Richard returned to Norland, and performed two high-level sacrifices in the Eternal Dragon Palace, perhaps after a series of blows, Richard's luck finally improved, or perhaps Richard's new title played a role, these two sacrifices were very successful, and they were strengthened by the plane channel that Richard wanted, and the reinforcement was increased by two percent compared to what it should be. Now that the cost of teleporting a man between Farrow and Norland has been reduced to nine hundred gold, Richard can finally move troops between planes on a large scale.

The time of war has finally come.

This time, Richard directly built the plane portal in Ellie's castle. After a few days of marching from Elliejie's territory, you can enter the territory of the Holy Tree Dynasty. Early that morning, all the people in Ellie's territory crawled out of the bed early and squeezed into a place where they could see the teleportation hall from afar. It is said that today's King of Akmund, Richard's army, will pour out of the private plane and rush towards the Holy Tree Dynasty.

In the war with Mensa, Richard had already made a name for himself. The young Magister is also a Grand Constructor and a Celebrity, and has long been one of the most famous figures in the Young Generation of the Holy Alliance. Now the nobles wanted to see how strong Richard's army was.

It was not only the nobles in Ellie's territory who were present, but also many nobles who got the news and hurried over. This place is close to the Sacred Tree Dynasty, and there are several pieces of land in Elijie's territory that were simply the territory of the Sacred Tree Dynasty a few years ago. The relationship between the nobles here is complicated, and it is impossible to tell who is the spy of the Holy Tree Dynasty. But Elliet took a laissez-faire attitude towards the nobles who arrived, and did not take any action other than to order the price of the inn to be doubled. And the foreign nobles can always find one or two blood relatives or friends among Ellie's vassals, and they can also find a place near the teleportation hall.

When the nobles had filled all the places they could occupy, the sun had just broken away from the mountains and risen into the sky.

At eight o'clock, the teleportation hall suddenly surged with strong magic fluctuations, and the entire hall emitted a faint light. This was a sign of the opening of a super-large dimensional portal, and dozens of mages quickly ran to their own positions and began to continuously inject mana into the portal.

"Here we go!"

"Look, don't crowd!"

The crowd began to stir, and some even began to bet on the number of constructed knights that Richard would bring out. Some say two hundred, some say three hundred, no matter what kind of speculation, it is astronomical to other nobles, and only the old wealthy will have such a scale of knights. But Richard himself was a great constructor, as if he had a magical power, as if he could conjure hordes of constructors.

The light at the portal of the teleportation hall grew stronger, and the five knights in the first row rode out side by side. They were tall and muscular, heavily armored in black, and their faces were all hidden behind hideous steel shields.

"Demon Riders! Look, it's all Demon Riders!" There was another commotion in the crowd.

They were not riding ordinary war horses, but demon horses that had gradually become famous in the Holy Alliance, and were said to be a specialty of Richard's private plane. The magic horses are exceptionally strong and ferocious, and they are equivalent to powerful monsters when they fight alone, but when they are under the knight's crotch, they are extremely docile and obedient, and they are completely top-level mounts. However, the high price discouraged their popularity, and they could only be used to build mounts for knights.

But the five knights at the front don't look like knights in costume, but just like elite ordinary knights. Among the nobles, there were many people with good eyesight and various special abilities, and someone whispered at the moment: "Strange, these are thirteenth-level knights, how can they all be equipped with magic horses?" ”

"This is the Knight of the Darkblade. A knight unique to Lord Richard, he fights without fear of life and death!" said one of Ellie's vassals.

More and more people recognized them as Darkblade Knights. Richard's Dark-Edged Knight is also well-known now, and in the eyes of his opponents, the Dark-Bladed Knight is even more terrifying than the Constructed Knight. These guys who come out of nowhere don't know the pain, they don't fear death, and they're ready to die with their opponents whenever they think it's worth it. This is a group of out-and-out madmen, and although the individual combat power of the Constructed Knights is far superior to that of the average Darkblade Knight, they are at least human, and someone should react, they will hurt when they are injured, and they will hesitate in the face of death. Worst of all, there are far more Darkblade Knights than Constructed Knights.

In the evaluation of the nobles, the Knight of the Dark Edge is simply not human. Of course, they didn't know that the Darkblade Knight was indeed not human.

After the five-rider Darkblade Knight walked out, the same five-rider followed. In this way, the Knights of the Dark Blade, in a row of five horses, walked out of the teleportation hall in turn, and walked along the avenue to the camp outside the castle. They were lined up one after another, the strikers were almost outside the castle, and the knights who followed were still pouring out of the dimensional portals, and the number was simply endless!

Someone is already numb to watch. (To be continued)
