Chapter 186 Aftermath
At this moment, in Richard's body, the afterglow of the boiling magic was still lingering, so under the dual effect of the construction vitality and the magic technique, Richard's magic power was surging rapidly, constantly recovering, and soon recovered to one-third of the normal magic power level, which stopped increasing, and the effect of divine power disappeared completely.

One-third of normal mana is also the limit of mana consumption for ordinary magicians. In fact, if the average mage consumes half of the total mana, the chance of magic failure is greatly increased. When it drops to a third, it is difficult to release even low-level magic. Therefore, in the common dictionary of magicians, one-third of mana is called mana dry. However, the divine magic boiling overcame the mana barrier, and invisibly increased the combat power of the magicians by one-third.
"Quicksand, how many times a day can you use it for boiling?" asked Richard solemnly.
"How many times? It's a good idea, but I also have to pay a lot of money to use this magic technique, so... It can only be used once in seven days. Quicksand said.
"Seven Days ......" Richard was slightly disappointed, but when he thought about it, he suddenly became surprised. With such a powerful divine technique, it is normal for the use to be limited. Strong ability means that the rules of attraction are strong, which means that more divine power needs to be paid. Quicksand is just a tenth-level god, and using sixth-level divine skills is already a leapfrog.
"Can anyone else use 'boiling'?" is another key question.
Quicksand shook his head and said, "No." Boiling must be combined with the Book of Time and my Construct Time Mirror to be effective. As I get stronger, the Book of Time, which provides extra power, can be omitted, but the Mirror of Time is a must. ”
So Richard understood that 'Boiling' was like an exclusive magic technique of quicksand, unless he could create a fourth-order construct 'Time Mirror' in the future. But even if Richard really became a saint constructor one day, he would not be able to make every construct. In addition to the time-consuming time it takes to refresh your builds, many special builds have unique limitations. For example, the Celestial Armament set requires the maker to have a strong faith.
In this team, quicksand, which was originally at the core, is now completely irreplaceable.
So Richard began to give orders to clean up the battlefield. There were two hundred and six knights in the attack, and all of them were killed. Under the burqa that concealed their identity, they were all well-made cavalry armor. These armors are mainly plate armor, and the movable parts are connected by chain mail, which is unique in design, well-made, and has both protection and flexibility, and is not very heavy. Although there were no insignia or patterns on the armor to indicate identity, Richard, who had carefully studied the genealogy of the Sim family, knew that they were the Eagle Banner Knights affiliated with the Duke of Glasburg.
Although Richard and these people have not been in the Faro plane for a long time, they have experienced dozens of battles large and small, and all the retinues have rich experience in cleaning up the battlefield. They removed all the valuable items from the knights, even the inner armor. This was a serious act of desecration of corpses in the war of the nobility, but since the other party pretended to be a bandit, Richard would treat them like bandits. This is one of the reasons why he didn't ask for the identity of the other party.
The corpses of the knights were stacked on the wagons, and the recovered armor weapons filled the four wagons. The throwing axes of the Grenary were also collected one by one, and the blades of the axes were all made of stainless steel, and the price was very high, and each throwing axe was equivalent to thirty fine arrows. There are more than 50 intact war horses, which is also a big harvest. Richard's side lost less than ten Sand Cavalry.
The battlefield was quickly cleared, and the convoy turned around and returned to the territory. The carcasses of a large number of horses and all the throwers remained in place and did not immediately follow the convoy.
Oral looked back, then asked Richard carefully, "Master, why didn't those throwers follow?"
"They need to eat. Richard said lightly.
Oral shuddered all over, and behind the dignified and formal word 'dining', there were many other meanings.
The Throwers were even more hideous than the cavemen, and even Richard's retinue would have thought they were monsters if it weren't for their incredible intelligence and incredible discipline. Usually the grenadiers were not camped in the same place as the other soldiers, so no one cared for their food, but they seemed to consume less rations.
This time, the object of their meal was naturally the corpses of those war horses, which was nothing, but Richard deliberately did not let everyone watch it, and the incident itself was intriguing. So what will they feed on in a desperate situation?
In Richard's mind, the three elite throwers had already estimated the number of horse corpses, and reported to Richard that after this meal, they would be able to maintain the normal survival needs of the throwers for a whole week.
Hearing this, Richard began to think again. As a level 4 class, the Thrower is only slightly weaker in melee combat than the Wind Fang, but the long-range strike power is equivalent to the level of level 8, and the elite thrower has more combat power at level 10. Another characteristic of the Thrower is that it can sustain a week of activity when fully fed, while the Wind Tooth can only last for two to three days. As a result, the Grenadiers are much less dependent on logistics, and the value of the class is once again increased. If Richard was able to overcome his psychological barrier and allow the Throwers or Wind Fangs to feed on the enemy dead, their logistical supply capacity would be nearly infinitely improved.
Is this one of the strengths of the brood class?
A day later, the victorious force returned to territory. Then Gangde came over, pointed to the corpses of the dead knights, and asked Richard, "Chief, what to do with the corpses of these fellows? It's very hot now, and if there is no magic to protect them, they will stink in an afternoon." ”
"Just like we did last time in the Blue Water Oasis," said Richard, "embalm them all, and then drive two hundred stakes at the border between us and Barony Fontaine's domain, and hang them all." Oh, and make sure to double-check and do something special so that people don't see the original Order insignia on them. ”
"No problem, chief!" Gangde agreed loudly, and then suddenly remembered something, and said to Richard: "By the way, Boss, that leader's original strength is not weak, and he has the appearance of level thirteen. Leave him to Sandru? That rib with a gloomy face may be able to make another black knight out of him. ”
"That's a good point!" Richard nodded. Plane conquest, every bit of resources must be used. And he is undoubtedly lucky, there is quicksand, there is a brood, and he ambushes Sandru, so that the enemy's qiē, faith, and soul can be reused, and the use of resources has reached the extreme.
Luck is also a part of strength, and it is often the most important part of strength in long plane wars. The male lords who can rise are all strong luck. In this respect, Richard doesn't have much to stand out. Those who can rise up among tens of millions of people in the flames of war are all extraordinary.
So Gangde commanded the warriors to pick out the corpses of the knight officers, and in addition to the knight chief, there were two knights of the eleventh rank. The knight who has been able to obtain the knighthood is only a squadron leader in the Eagle Banner Knights, which shows the overall combat power of the Knights.
