However, at this time, the accident happened again, and the Fu Nan, who had already fallen, suddenly screamed and stood up straight. I don't know what he remembered or what stimulated him, but he refused to faint honestly, and jumped up violently. Nereus was stunned for a moment, so Fu Nan opened his eyes and saw the frightened appearance of the fourth prince's big mouth.

Fu Nan's consciousness was in chaos in an instant, and his heart contracted and he couldn't bounce anymore, and he was full of just: "How can there be such a beautiful woman??"

Nereus's face flushed, but he was ashamed and angry. Everything is not going well today, and even the unconscious can get up again, I don't know how many jokes Richard has seen. Without saying a word, he flicked his left hand, took Fu Nan around in a half circle, and smashed his right hand on the back of his head with a punch, knocking Fu Nan out again. This hit was extremely heavy, which made Riccha feel a little frightened.

In the first battle of Sword Wind City, Richard lost three Constructed Knights and nearly 100 Darkblade Knights, and the Infantry Knights also died nearly 100 horsemen, suffering heavy losses for the first time. But the results of the battle were even more brilliant, the first battle completely destroyed the core combat power of the Silver Sword Family, and the defense of Sword Wind City was destructively lost, the city gate was completely collapsed, if it was restored to its original state, it was necessary to invite a master craftsman of the goblin level, and if ordinary repairs were carried out, the defense power would be reduced by at least half. The silver sword, which had entrenched itself on the western border for hundreds of years, was crippled and on the verge of collapse.

With less than a thousand knights, it was not easy to win the battle by attacking the heavily defended Sword Wind City head-on, but as a result, Richard not only fell in one battle, but the proportion of battle losses was surprisingly small. If you consider the true identity of the Darkblade Knight's brood mass-produced combat unit, the results are even more staggering.

When the battle damage of both sides was counted, Nereus was silent for a long time, and only after a long time asked, "Why don't you bring more Constructed Knights? ”

Richard smiled and said, "If I bring two hundred armors and a thousand dark edges, who else will fight me? Will Fenrir put seven thousand men on the avenue to stop me?"

Nereus was silent for a moment, then said, "You are so sinister. ”

Richard laughed, patted Nereth on the shoulder, and said, "If they feel that they have a chance to win, they will come out of the city to fight me." Although I have some losses every time, the other party's losses are dozens of times that of mine. If you grind slowly like this, it won't take long to cripple your opponent, how good is that. If I really don't want to lose anything, people won't fight me. ”

Nereus carefully recalled Richard's past battles, and in recent times, Richard tended to give up his absolute superiority in forces, and always brought no more troops with him. It was difficult for the opponent to resist the temptation of superior forces and chose to fight Richard in a decisive battle. But when you really go to the battlefield, you will find that Richard's elite tactics and precise command on the battlefield are terrifying.

However, all human beings will always subconsciously think highly of themselves and underestimate the enemy, thinking that they will be able to do what others can't do. Therefore, those who have tasted Richard's awesomeness have been crippled and withdrawn from the stage of history. People who haven't tasted Richard's power are still eager to try, and there are definitely many such people.

Once in Faro, there was a genius commander named Sarenwell, who thought that he could defeat Richard with three against one, and then he did achieve three against one on a local battlefield, but in the end he reaped the biggest defeat of his life, and his military career came to an end. At that time, Richard was far from the point where he could now form an all-elite army at will.

Nereus thought to himself, if he hadn't fought side by side with Richard many times and personally experienced the terrible command of Richard in battle, he would probably have pulled thousands of knights, and he would rush over and prepare to swallow Richard in one gulp, after all, his private army was much stronger than ordinary nobles. Whenever he thinks of this, the four princes are often in a cold sweat.

Less than a day after the fall of Sword Wind City, Robert and Count Silitus, who were stationed on the border of the Silver Sword Territory, received the news. When they saw the battle damage ratio, they couldn't believe their eyes. This is a result that cannot be deduced on the sand table at all. If the Earl of the Silver Sword is a well-known waste, it would be fine, but the Silver Sword family is entrenched in the border area, which is not very strong, but it is definitely not weak.

Looking at Richard's remaining troops, the two old foxes began to have difficulties, wondering whether they should send troops to the silver sword collar to rob while the fire was burning as originally planned.

The whole city of Sword Wind City was calm, and it was already close to dawn. Then at noon, Count Fenrir's envoy arrived at Swordwind City and asked to see Richard to discuss a truce.

At that time, Richard had just finished taking over, arming and pacifying, and was looking for a place to take a nap. Before he could greet Neris, who had been raised from the couch, he heard the knight's report, and could only buckle back the first button on his coat that had just been unfastened.

Nereus held a cushion with his eyes half-open and half-closed, and lazily sighed that the old fox was the old fox, this kind of cheekiness was indeed extraordinary, according to the time, the earl should still be on the way to escape, and when he saw that he was temporarily safe, he sent a messenger to sue for peace.

However, Count Fenrir was clearly a wise decision, and the Silver Sword family was already in jeopardy, and the slightest delay would lead to the invasion of other lords, and the entire family would be destroyed.

In addition to the time of the arrival of the envoy, Richard had long expected the Earl's follow-up moves, and any qualified family leader, in the face of this situation, the first consideration was definitely not revenge, but preservation. He had already thought of the conditions, one was to compensate for the military expenses and pensions, the second was to dispose of Baron Cannan, the third was the right to freely pass through the entire territory of the Silver Sword, and finally to cede Maple Fire City and the attached baronies to Akmund.

These four conditions were fully in line with the general norms of civil war among the nobles of the mainland, as can be seen from the emissary's expression of obvious relief. The sincerity of the earl's side was also very full, and the envoy was fully prepared, and actually carried a one-time two-way long-range communication magic array with him.

An hour later, Fenrir's reply arrived. Articles 34 and 2 all agreed, and the compensation proposed by the first count was 1.5 million gold coins, and it was negotiable. As for Baron Cannan, he will be allowed to commit suicide by poisoning himself in order to save Cannan's own family.

Fenrir was so cheerful that Richard and Nereus did not expect. However, this was a good end, so Richard agreed to a truce and reconciliation. When the messenger departed, it was not yet dusk.

After the territory of Maple Fire City was assigned to Richard's name, the two sides actually formed a symbiotic relationship. If Robert and Hilitus were to invade the Silver Sword Territory again, it would be a direct threat to Richard's territory. Richard had a reason to interfere. In addition to the pleasant scenery, the geographical location of Maple Fire City is equally important. It overlooked the largest road that crossed the entire Silver Sword Collar, and it was a key point of contention.

After the messenger left, Richard asked the guards to prepare the griffons, and now that he was done here, it was time to go back. But no sooner had the guards left than Richard suddenly heard a clear, high-pitched shout: "Richard." If you come out for me, if you are a man, you will fight me to the death. ”

Richard was surprised, the voice sounded very clear, but the source of the sound was clearly from outside the city, and this was the first time that someone had openly challenged him since he had attacked the Silver Sword Territory. When did the Silver Sword family have such a bloody powerhouse?

Nereus looked at Richard with a smile on his face.

Richard took a few steps back and forth, and said with some annoyance, "Do I look so easy to bully?" The followers in his consciousness had already begun to move towards the city gate.

Nereus spread his hands and said, "God knows." ”

It was obviously a woman who challenged Richard, and her voice was very penetrating, and it covered the entire Sword Wind City, so that it could reach the castle. However, the shouts fluctuated significantly, fluctuating in strength and weakness, and the two of them knew that this challenger had just entered the holy realm. Not to mention that the manipulation of power is far from home, even the absolute amount of power accumulation is far from enough.

When Richard fought on the battlefield of the Peerless Domain, he was not yet a great mage, and his record was already dazzling, and at this time, killing this kind of rookie who had newly entered the Sacred Domain was similar to cutting vegetables. Perhaps for this reason, Crimson and Tiramisu, who were already at the city gate, didn't even mean to move at all.

Then the voice rang out again: "Richard." You come out for me. Don't hide. Are you going to rely on the number of men you have?"

Richard's face was already very exciting at this moment, he went out to fight the silver sword collar this time, and he had at most a thousand horses in his hands, but he was facing an army with a total of nearly 50,000 silver swords. This is also called relying on the number of subordinates?

"Let's not rush out yet, and hear what else she has to say. Nereus said with a fluttering eyebrow.

Richard flatly refused: "No." Give her a few more howls, and my reputation will be ruined. He already had a hunch that even if he ordered it, Crimson and Tiramisu might not be interested in taking out this reckless female sanctuary.

Seeing Richard striding out, Nereth hurriedly chased after him: "What are you afraid of?" Anyway, Akmund's reputation is not good? Listen to it again, there are not many such talents. ”

Akmund's reputation, though not great, does not include timidity. Richard's face darkened, and he suddenly turned a corner, walked up to the terrace, and flew directly towards the city gate. He didn't even have time to ride a horse.

But what Nereus said is indeed right, there are not many women who turn things upside down like this, and can still speak with reason. Judging from her daring to challenge Richard as soon as she entered the Sanctuary, this woman was probably convinced of what she was saying, rather than deliberately referring to the deer as a horse.

When Richard landed at the top of the city, he saw a young knight standing a hundred meters below the city. She looked to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, with a delicate little face still a little childish, and a silver armor with a hazy magical glow, which seemed to be at least epic enchanted armor. Her mount is also rare, and it looks like a particularly tall war horse, but there are more than a dozen coiled horns on the top of her head, which are somewhat similar to the head of a dragon.
