Chapter 42 Harvest

For example, in Gangde's opinion, unusable scrolls are similar to waste paper, and if you don't want to leave them to the enemy, it's easiest to burn them down. Because the time to actually clean up the battlefield is only ten minutes, there are countless valuable things in the temple, and it is impossible to clean them all out and take them away, for example, the statue of the god of courage is embedded with a lot of gold and gems.

Originally, the scepter in Essin's hand could be said to be priceless, but it was a pity that the stored divine power was exhausted in order to resist Richard's powerful fireball bombardment, and it is estimated that Esin's divine skills were also increased by the scepter, so the white crystal has completely turned into ashes, and even the scepter itself is distorted and deformed. However, the scepter, which was made of a mixture of gold, pure gold, and a small amount of black crystal iron, was worth 10,000 gold coins just for the remaining part of the material that could be recycled.

Deep Blue's learning career has made Richard a master in the field of magic materials, so he naturally knows how much he has gained this time. In the process of accumulating wealth in the early stages, robbery and plunder do have incomparable advantages. Although it is a bloody capital, it is undoubtedly the fastest way.

Another special bonus was a diary found in the room of Priest Essin. The heavy diary is half as thick as the cover alone, and the twisted clasp is attached to an intricate magic lock. If it fails, the furious energy in the magic lock will instantly crush the diary to ashes. From such strict protection alone, we know that the contents of this diary must be very important, and the experience of a true God pastor in the plane is very precious.

Richard decided to take this diary back first, as for the magic lock, it essentially belongs to a type of magic array. As long as it is a magic array, it is not too difficult for Richard, especially the magic array of the secondary plane. He casually glanced at it and knew that cracking it wasn't a problem, it just took some time. Although he still doesn't know the magical language and symbols of this plane, the high similarity with the Norland plane means that the world structure and rules are highly similar, especially this is a magic array that is in operation and has a clear purpose. He might as well do this later, and maybe he could parse some of the rules a little bit so that he could accurately use the magic materials of this plane to construct them.

Richard re-mounted, glanced with some regret at the Baron's castle, which was still closed, and couldn't help but feel pity in his heart. Baron Fossa didn't know if he had become smarter, or if he was simply cowardly, he didn't save him when he saw death, and he didn't go out. Let Richard, who was full of preparations for an ambush halfway, lose a little.

Even if the castle itself is ignored, Baron Forsa's command is still at least an elite guard of dozens of people, and the loss will definitely not be light if it is attacked, and Richard's biggest problem now is that he can't withstand even the smallest attrition. If the death is only a surrender, it is fine, but if it is damaged, even if it is a foot knight, it is an irreparable heavy loss.

Even if you have the blueprints of the Baron's Castle now, if you want to fight a second tough battle, you have to wait until the quicksand is full of divine power. Now it's not just Richard, but those guys who rush to the front line can't do without her. If quicksand hadn't stood behind them, they would have felt awkward when they rushed to kill. But now the quicksand has unexpectedly consumed most of its divine power.

A priest like quicksand often means an extra life on the battlefield. Richard's support for everyone's psychological morale is not only in the powerful large-scale attack firepower, but also in his control of the battlefield. As long as Richard is there, the quicksand, which has been closely following Richard's actions, can be guaranteed to appear at the most critical moment and in the most critical place. In this respect, Richard's role is no less than that of quicksand.

Richard glanced again in the direction of the garrison barracks, where it was dark and dreary, and there was no movement at all, if he hadn't known that the large longhouses in that direction were barracks, he really couldn't see any difference from ordinary houses in this night.

Only a few garrisons probed their brains to reconnoiter at the beginning of the battle, and after being shot dead by Oral, there were no successors. It seems that the knight who commanded the garrison was also a smart man, and if he was held accountable, the most he would do was to lose his fief, which was better than losing his life.

Richard looked back at the temple that had been completely engulfed in flames, and his heart was full of regret. The outcome of the battle tonight was roughly as he expected, and the process was not much different from what he expected. It's just that the results are a little unsatisfactory, except for the wealth that is satisfactory, other aspects are not very good. The priest of Essien escaped, and the barons did not lose even a single knight, and the destruction of the Knights of the Templar was a small result, but it was also a little damaged. Moreover, the core of the war should be to eliminate the opponent's high-level professionals.

"Let's go!" Richard let go of his regrets, waved his arms, and led the cavalry in the direction of the city gate.

The gates were still open, and the barricades that had been removed were completely unchanged, leaving no one to take care of the corpses of the garrisons lying in pools of blood. A large group of horses roared out, followed by two ogres and a group of velvets.

After galloping some distance, Richard looked back and saw that the harbor was still in flames, and at this distance, he could still see patches of open flames and billowing smoke engulfing the buildings, and there seemed to be no sign of fighting the fire. Fortunately, the temple was surrounded by open areas, otherwise if the fire spread, it could kill half of the city.

Richard suddenly thought of the page in his arms, and had a vague intuition that perhaps this page was the most important takeaway of the night.

Before leaving, Richard ordered that the notices that had been prepared should be posted in a conspicuous place on the city's main road all the way to the city gates. The content of these notices is exactly the same, that is, to inform Baron Fossa's three family members who died in battle that they are in his hands, and to ask Baron Fosa to prepare 5,000 gold coins to redeem the hostages. If Baron Fosa does not pay the ransom within two days, the families of the dead will be sold into slavery elsewhere.

Demanding ransom payments to prisoners of war or hostages was a common practice for nobles in war, and it was generally not a blood feud, and there were few massacres of cities in war, and the amount of ransom proposed by Richard was not excessive, and it was completely within a reasonable range. However, because of the oracle of the god of courage, it was impossible for Baron Fosa to agree to this request. Richard also knew that the Baron would not compromise, and all he wanted to do was to make the Baron's decision widely known. There is already a qualitative difference between three jazzes and one jazz.

No sooner had he left the harbor than to disperse a few of the swiftloctors and continue to patrol the area separately in case of unexpected pursuers and surprise attacks, including detecting traps and ambushes in the road ahead, if any.

The route of the team was to take the town of Jovan, and the two swift beasts went out several kilometers to explore the way, one left and one right. Not only because the road was already familiar, but also to observe the movements of the garrison in Jovan, if the army dared to return to the rescue of the Baron's city, then Richard would not mind another ambush. Those ordinary warriors who ran around all night definitely didn't have much fighting power left, and a single swift impact could have crushed them.

Quicksand's divine power is slowly recovering, and Richard has a vitality structure, and the recovery speed is much faster than that of quicksand, and he faintly feels that after several fierce battles in a row, his magic has faintly shown signs of breakthrough, and he will soon become a ninth-level mage, able to learn and cast fifth-level magic. These were all guarantees of victory in the battle, and they were also Richard's confidence that he dared to start another battle. It's a pity that the knight who led the standing army was also a cautious person, completely cowering in the barracks, and it seemed that he had made up his mind not to leave the barracks until dawn. From a distance, the fork in the road from the main road to the barracks www.biquge.info Biqu Pavilion, there began to be visible barricades.

When passing by the town of Jovan, looking back at the military camp that had been left far behind, Richard could only shake his head helplessly. The tactic of besieging a place and annihilating the reinforcements was indeed effective, avoiding the trouble of fighting a fortified position, but unfortunately now the reinforcements are all unwilling to be dispatched, which makes Richard helpless. He had no choice but to change course and turn towards the mountains, ready to digest the results of this battle.
