When he was a teenager, Richard didn't dare to look directly at Su Helen, not only because of the coercion of the super strong, but also because of the legendary mage's almost arrogant color, so every time Richard's gaze swept over her figure, his heart would pound. And at that time, in front of the legendary mage, Richard had no room to resist at all, no matter what he encountered, he could only suffer. Of course, if Richard complains like this, it is estimated that the entire Norland man will be quite willing to "bear" this kind of oppression for him.

But now it's different, not to mention that Nereus is a man, and Richard is by no means defenseless. If he was in a hurry, at a distance where he could only fight closely, Richard was sure that he could take down the four princes in half a minute. However, looking at that delicate and flawless face, Richard always felt that if he smashed it with a punch, his heart would twitch.

But heartache is better than actually being kissed. Richard comforted himself in this way, and then silently activated the fiery heat, activating the demonic armament, preparing to resist the "suppression" that might come at any time, while carefully controlling the spillover of the energy movement.

Nereus is a genuine talent, from intelligence to body to blood, everything is the best choice, but the actual combat experience is not enough. But his combat power must not be underestimated, and if he is careless, Richard may really be "suppressed" by him.

Richard said helplessly, "Hey, Neris, you...... It can't be serious, right?"

"Why not?" said Nereus, earnestly.

The more serious the fourth prince was, the more frightened Richard became, and said with a wry smile: "But you weren't like this before." The old you, oh, were beautiful. But now it's ...... That one...... Charming. ”

Richard spoke very tactfully, believing that Nereus understood. However, Nereus understood, but a startling smile appeared on his lips, and he said slowly, "I have recently agreed with one of Wilde's famous sayings......"

As soon as he heard the name Wilde, Richard immediately knew it was going to be bad.

Wilde, this is a name that has left a strong mark on Norland's entire human history. He has countless halos above his head, a powerful marquis, a great poet, a great playwright, a great singer and a great philosopher. Once known as a god who would be jealous of his looks, Wilde was not only at the pinnacle of achievement in several fields, standing at the forefront of the entire era, but also the first genius in history to develop the bard profession to the legendary level.

At that time, on the Egyptian Peninsula in the southern frontier of the Millennium Empire, 30,000 emperors confronted the 100,000 troops of the Naga Empire who came across the sea. At that time, Wilde was a servant in front of the king's tent, and when the two armies launched the first hedge, he improvised the "Exodus", and then sang a song, and the buff effect actually covered the entire battlefield. Wilde became famous, and bards were seen as the first profession to surpass the priests on the battlefield.

Wilde is also remembered for a famous quote after the Battle of the Egyptian Peninsula. Wilde, who reached the peak of his life at that time, once said when facing the courtship of a famous beauty in the mainland: "My life has reached this day, and only men can make me interested." ”

This famous quote is even more widespread than the famous song "Exodus".

Richard's sweat had come down. His ability to control spells also seemed to weaken, and bursts of fiery aura began to emanate from his body, a precursor to an imminent outburst.

Nereus suddenly straightened up, reached out and tapped Richard's chin, and chuckled, "Let you go for now!"

This made Richard cry and laugh, and it was a mixed blessing. The word "temporary" made him wonder whether he was let go or just wanted to be captured.

Before Richard could finish his confusion, Nereus sat up in his seat and said, "Time is pressing, we should seriously think about business, not fight here." ”

Richard was speechless, it had always seemed as if it had been Nireth who had been there to play half-truthfully, but now he had been taught a lesson.

The next day, the defenders of Maple Fire City surrendered were gathered in the square and a simple oath-taking ceremony was held. The content of the oath was to renounce allegiance to the Silversword family in favor of Akmund.

The ceremony was not forced, but Richard ordered those who were willing to take the oath and those who did not take the oath to be registered. Warriors who swore allegiance to Akmund were released on the spot, and officers were appointed from among them. As on the previous occasions, when Richard left a place, he gave them the defense of that place. Those who refused to take the oath continued to be held in prisoner-of-war camps, where conditions were not good.

Oaths can be more or less binding, and in a world without faith, vows are like air. In a world where there is God, vows are much more important. But there are also big and small binding forces, and the stronger the person, the more important the oath is, and the binding force is correspondingly much greater. By God's name,

even swore by his real name, once he violated it, the consequences were extremely severe.

For ordinary warriors, the oath is much less binding, and the direct cost of betrayal is light or even none. Richard did not expect to take the oath to bring a group of loyal fighters, but only to sift through the ceremony.

Along the way, no Silver Sword Lord dared to fight back in the city abandoned by Richard. Richard's lightning tactics and the suppressive superiority on the battlefield had already made them completely frightened, and even if they could not hold the city back, why should they attract Richard's attention? Richard attacked extremely ruthlessly this time, only half of the Silver Sword Lords who went to the battlefield became prisoners, and the rest were all killed in battle, and only one Fu Nan escaped, which was the result of Richard's deliberate release of water. Therefore, the little lords are waiting for this war to be completely over, anyway, the fiefdom and the city can be taken back at the negotiating table, so why bother with their lives.

Like the previous cities, Richard selected the defenders of the small city of Fenghuo, and marched towards Sword Wind City, arriving at Sword Wind City that night. The scouts scattered outside the city by the Silver Sword family were suddenly in chaos, and those who were lucky enough to run back to the city desperately, and those who were far away could only flee to the countryside. However, Richard did not pay any attention to them, and did not even send a knight out to pursue them, and even watched the gates open and close from a distance, without the slightest attempt to take advantage of the gap.

The knights began to set up camp, and Richard led some people to walk around Sword Wind City to see the city's defenses. Occasionally, Richard would have the spearman throw two explosive spears to see how strong the walls were. Or let three or five knights in uniform strike together and kill a minor nobleman or officer in the city with a spear. I have to admit that the city defense built by the Silver Sword family has something remarkable, perhaps because it is located on the border and will be attacked by outsiders at any time, so the strength of the city defense has reached the level of resisting large-scale siege alchemy equipment.

As the circle came down, the defenders on the city wall were in danger, and a large number of reserve soldiers were called up, all draped, waiting to go up to the city at any time to fight. During the inspection of the city defenses, although Richard's knights only killed a dozen ordinary soldiers and two noble officers on the city wall, it made everyone extremely nervous, wondering if the next unlucky guy would be their turn.

On a few occasions along the way, Richard even flew up a few hundred meters in the air, condescendingly overlooking the entire Sword Wind City. With such an arrogant move, not only did no one in the Silver Sword family dare to fly up to challenge Richard, but there was not even anyone in the city who shot an arrow. Those who have the ability to shoot Richard are afraid of being targeted by the constructed knights below, and a round of fire will be seriously injured if they don't die.

After a big circle, Richard returned to the barracks and said to Neres, "Fenrir is an old fellow who can't hold on, and thinks he has a plan, but in fact he has worn out the morale of his army. You see, I've all taken to the skies, not even a guy who dares to go out of the city for a decisive battle. But this is exactly what I want, just watch how I take down Sword Wind City!"

Nereus gave Richard a roll of his eyes and said, "The Silver Sword Family doesn't have a legendary powerhouse, what are a few ordinary Sanctuary powerhouses doing when they go out of the city, and send them to death? Which Sanctuary powerhouse is willing to put his head into the mouth of that ogre lord?"

Richard didn't argue with Nereus about this, but went straight to his tactics.

Throughout the night, Swordwind City never stopped commotion. Under the cover of night, Richard's knights seemed to be distributed in all directions, and attacks could come from all directions at any time.

After midnight, tentative attacks began, and even knights in costume rushed directly to the city walls, killing them for a while before retreating. The defenders were extremely nervous and had to be vigilant at all times in case one of the attempts turned into a real engagement. However, ordinary warriors were slaughtered in front of Richard's elite knights, and when they arrived, Fenrir had to send out both the knights in costume and the powerhouses of the Sanctuary, but they were strictly ordered not to leave the protection of the city walls.

After repeatedly comparing and analyzing the information of various parties to determine the location of a certain Sacred Domain powerhouse, Richard quietly concentrated all the Constructed Knights, and suddenly set fire to his location, and the repeated covering dense blows directly blew the unlucky guy to death.

Fenrir's response was to hastily evacuate all the Sanctuary powerhouses and the Constructed Knights to the city, and they had to be ordered to fight before they were allowed to climb the walls to fight.

After this sneak attack, Richard withdrew most of the constructed knights back, recuperated and recuperated, leaving only ten horsemen to roam around Sword Wind City, and continued to harass at the right time. Nerith, who had never had a chance to make a move since the start of the war, was finally ready to play tonight.

The fourth prince was obviously depressed, put on the heavy armor wrapped from head to foot, held a one-handed battle axe and a saw-bladed long sword, jumped directly onto the city wall, bit a strong man in the holy domain who was resting against the root of the wall, and killed him with all his might, chasing and killing along the city wall for a full kilometer, killing the strong man in the holy domain, throwing up blood and running away, and finally simply shameless, jumped over the Tibetan soldiers and fled into the city, which was considered a catastrophe.

ps: It's so stable that it doesn't need any ps, it just needs to break out. That, comrades can return.
