Now that you understand the principle of capturing stars, the rest of the matter is simple. Richard only needed to keep calculating new orbits to accommodate more stars. Theoretically, when five stars appear, they are equivalent to the existing well of the stars on the Magic Restoration. In other words, the addition of the Well of the Stars in five stars can double the speed at which Richard's magic power can be restored. According to this calculation, when Richard has eighty-one stars, the speed at which mana is restored is equivalent to the consumption of a normal archmage when casting spells. That is to say, if Richard were to fight at the normal pace of an ordinary archmage, the magic would be endless!

Thinking of this, Richard suddenly burst into excitement. But then I realized that if I wanted to capture eighty-one stars, the difficulty of orbit calculation was probably no less than thoroughly analyzing the rules of the Divine Nest of the Hulan plane. If you really have that level, Richard estimates that he will already go deep into the legend, and he still needs to grind hard in the way of the Great Magic?

However, since it is so difficult to increase orbits, Richard has to carefully select the captured stars, rather than capture them at will, so as not to waste a valuable orbit. The best choice is naturally the origin power of various planes, and this energy itself contains rules, which is of considerable help in analyzing the rules. It's just that the power of the plane origin is very rare, and for such a long time, Richard has only obtained two plane origins.

As a result, the stars found in the Rock Plane are not suitable. In contrast, the energy of the Golden Valley was more inclined to pure magic and was more helpful to Richard, while the earth element of the Rock Plane had limited effect on Richard. In addition to the origin of the plane, Richard also needs pure star power, because only star power can strengthen the bloodline of Akmund and the Silver Moon Elves at the same time.

In the next few days, the army of the Rock Plane continued to be reorganized, and then about 100 Akmund Foot Knights entered the Rock Plane, and they served as the middle officers of the defenders, which constituted the backbone of an army. After much thought, Richard left Raya as the temporary chief of the town guard plane, and when the elven poet Oral was transferred, Raya could serve as Oral's deputy. Richard spent a few more days looking at the surroundings of the base and the location of the iron ore vein before returning to Norland.

For some reason, when he returned to Faust, Richard always felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. After interrogation, the floating island and the Ukiyo-e were normal, and nothing major happened during the time that Richard was away. The same goes for the news from Nolan. If the news received by the Secular and Eternal Dragon Hall is nothing serious, then it should be nothing. Richard comforted himself in this way, but his heart always seemed to be clouded, gray and very uncomfortable.

While Richard was preparing the griffons on the floating island, Nereus got the news out of nowhere and hurried over. He wears a gorgeous close-fitting soft armor, but is wrapped in a heavy cape, and even wears a sterling silver mask under his hood to cover his eyes. The dress of the Four Emperors startled Richard, and he didn't understand what new tricks this guy had come up with.

"Richard, are you going to trouble the Silver Sword Family?"

Richard nodded, and said, "Yes! It's almost time, I'm going to join the troops." This war has to be won, so I have to take command myself. The Silver Sword family itself is not a concern, but I am responsible, those guys hiding behind the scenes may be secretly attacking. ”

Neres took off his mask, revealing a goblin-like countenance, and asked, "What if those guys behind the scenes weren't lured out by you?"

"Then it's better to clean up the silver sword, and destroy Kannan again by the way. Richard replied.

Nereus frowned and asked, "But what kind of reason are you looking for?"

Richard smiled and said, "History says very clearly, as long as you want to fight, you can do it." If you do, it's too late to find it after you've beaten it!"

Nereus shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's incisive, but you have to win." ”

"I've brought a lot of people with me, and I've got some good stuff, so if I can't win, I don't have to mess around. Richard said with a smile.

Nereus patted Richard on the shoulder and said, "I'll go with you too!"

Richard looked at him suspiciously, and said, "Are you so idle?"

"If you're in a bad mood, learn how you command. ”

As he spoke, Nerith's hand never lowered. It was originally a normal shoulder pat, but now it has become a shoulder tie, which is quite awkward. Richard quietly slapped Neres' hand away and said, "That's whatever you want." But you can't learn the way I command in battle. In terms of military strategy, you are no worse than me. ”

Nereus shook his head and said, "Don't say so much, are you going to go?

Richard fastened his bag to the griffin, looked back at Nereus, who was carrying only a small bag, and said, "You brought such a little thing?"

"Well, a little bit of clothes. Use yours for the rest. ”

For some reason, Richard always felt that this topic was a little weird today, so he didn't say more and turned over

Griffons. Fortunately, Akmund is also wealthy now, and there are a lot of high-grade griffons in stock, and it is not difficult to pack one more Neres. Moments later, six griffons took off one after another, speeding westward.

On the way, Richard once asked tentatively, "Why are you in a bad mood?"

Nereus was silent and did not reply, but flew forward.

Two days later, Richard and Neres, who had only a short break in between, caught up with the troops that had set off earlier. Fifty knights in armor, two hundred knights of the Darkblade, one hundred spear-throwers, and eight hundred horsemen of Akmund on horseback, this is the vanguard force. This vanguard marched at full speed, leaving the follow-up army far behind. Leading the way were Crimson and Tiramisu, along with a thinker. Such an equip, even if Richard does not come, it is enough to defeat the Earl of Silver Sword head-on. And now it's not just Richard who has come, but also Neris. If there is no prejudice against Neris's appearance, the Four Emperors are indeed a strong reinforcement.

After converging the troops, after marching for half a day, they arrived at the Earldom of Silver Sword. The Silver Sword family has a long history, and there are a large number of large and small nobles in the clan, and most of the territories are on the western border, leading each other and dotting each other, vaguely forming a complete system of mutual assistance. Most of the new territories of the Silver Sword are expanding beyond the boundaries of the Alliance, and at the same time, they also implicitly block the expansion of other families in this area, and they have the potential to turn this boundary into the inner realm of the Silver Sword Family.

The Silver Sword family, which got the news, had already gathered 7,000 people to "greet" Richard.

If it weren't for Richard's vanguard coming too quickly, the Silver Sword Family would still be able to gather tens of thousands of more troops. The scouts had already sent the news back to the Silver Sword Territory, so when Richard's cavalry trotted all the way to the border of the Silver Sword Territory, they saw a neat military formation, firmly blocking the road through the territory.

Richard glanced at the strict and majestic military formation opposite, nodded, and said, "Not bad." ”

Nereis also said: "The old family that can take root in the border is somewhat confident. How's it going, doesn't it feel like you've hit an iron plate?"

"Iron plate?" Richard just smiled, then pointed forward and said, "I don't see where their Constructed Knights are." ”

Nereus sighed and said, "Who would be foolish to give your Darkblade Knight a precious Constructed Knight now?"

Richard smiled, "That's what I want." With that, he rode forward and walked alone to the Silver Sword Family, which was waiting for him.

Several nobles in the Silver Sword Army rode out and met Richard.

Richard glanced at the crowd and asked, "What about Fenrir, why didn't I see him?"

A middle-aged nobleman bowed slightly and said, "Father has something else to do, and he is not in the territory at the moment." Now the affairs of the territory are temporarily in charge of me, Baron Fro. ”

"Baron Fu, the first heir to the Silver Sword Family?"

"And so far, the only heir. Fernando added.

Richard snorted and said, "Then it seems that the same is looking for you." Get your army out of the way, they're in my way!"

The smile on Fu Nan's face froze, his anger flashed away, and then he returned to normalcy and said, "This is the territory of the Silver Sword Family, and where my soldiers stand, it is completely our freedom. ”

"Then we take a detour?" said Richard with a harmless smile.

But the faces of the people with silver swords changed. The terrain of the Silver Sword Territory is flat, and the configuration of Richard's cavalry can be said to come and go freely. If he bypassed the Great Road, he also bypassed the assembled army, so wouldn't Richard be able to go wherever he wanted? If Richard wanted to go to Sword Wind City, the main city of the Silver Sword, wouldn't he have copied their lair?

"This is the Silver Sword Territory!You can't enter, please go back!" Fu Nan said word by word.

Richard suddenly smiled and said, "So, Silver Sword is planning to declare war with Akmund?"

Fu Nan sneered: "Declare war, we just want to defend our territory! Lord Richard, don't think that as a floating island nobleman, you can bully others. ”

"You're in my way, you just don't want me to open up my own dukedom. Is this not a declaration of war or what?" After speaking, Richard's smile narrowed, and he said: "As a floating island nobleman, I have never heard of a family that will not fight back after being overshadowed. ”

"Lord Richard, I don't understand what you mean!" I think you can choose another place to open up the Dukedom!"

"Oh, isn't this the border of the Holy Alliance? I can't open up territory in this direction? Why, this area has become the private land of the Silver Sword?" Richard asked lightly.

Unmoved, Fu Nan said forcefully: "No matter what place this is, you can't pass through the territory of the silver sword. ”

Richard looked at Fu Nan seriously, suddenly smiled, and said, "I don't know if you are really not afraid of death, or if you are just stupid enough to be bold." It doesn't matter if you give way or not, I'm going to pass anyway. Well, now let me see how determined you really are!"
