The sacrifice was very long, so long that the priests of the Eternal Dragon Temple, who had never been tempted by it, also showed envy. Numerous and varied offerings, they are a favorite combination of the Dragons of Eternity and Time, often granting additional divine favors. Looking at the happy and satisfied face of quicksand, you can know how much divine grace there is.

This time, the priests saw Richard's expression different. In the past period, Richard was arguably the person who had made the most impression on them in the entire Holy Alliance, not only because he was the most diligent, but also because he brought a large number of sacrifices. And from Nolan, it can also be seen what kind of development Richard's exclusive plane has now reached.

You know, Richard is only twenty-one this year!

Priests above the twelfth level of the Eternal Dragon Hall have the ability to distinguish the traces of the passage of time, that is, they can identify the true age of an item, as well as the true age of a person. Faust's time had only passed for a little over a year, but Richard had been fighting between planes for five years. In five years, a young man who was still young and autistic in the past has become an important figure in the Holy Alliance. People have even begun to talk about whether Richard will have the same miracle three years as Gordon.

But the priests didn't know that the smile of the quicksand was not for the sacrifice just now, but for the coming night.

The sacrifice was long, and the night was even longer.

On this night, Richard lived a fierce life, lived a vigorous life, lived a difficult life, lived a dying struggle, and lived a life of slaughter. And then Richard found out that this wasn't the fucking end of it!

Quicksand is like a mountain flower after the rain, and it is more and more delicate. She is as happy as her body.

The night finally passed, and when it was dawn, Richard felt happiness come along with the sun.

Since it is a war, there must always be a winner and a loser. After the winner was decided, the victorious side had poor people chasing after him, and there were also those who beat the water dogs. Quicksand, on the other hand, clearly falls into the latter category.

The followers had already rushed back from various planes one after another, and Richard and Quicksand had also arrived at the Black Rose Castle through the Guò Teleportation Array. got the news of Richard's return, and Ellie Jie also rushed over as soon as possible. When Richard met in the Grand Chamber of the Black Rose Castle, the room was already packed.

Richard looked around, and familiar faces passed in front of him. Splash, Crimson, Oral, Sandru, Zonghu, Nayu, Lina, are all people who have followed him for a long time. Semir and Asiris are still Gordon's stays, and they don't show absolute deference and obedience to Richard. Richard could understand, and now he understood, that these two men were not unruly, but that they were honoring Gordon in this way.

It'd been some time since Mordred had passed over Faust, and they had learned of Gordon's departure. It's just that these two people, perhaps including Wald and Han Erdong, are commemorating in this way, or looking forward to, looking forward to Gordon creating a zào miracle again.

Gonde, Tiramisu, Io and Oral are still guarding Faro. Over the past year, Richard's Crimson Duchy, supported by Norland's steady stream of imported high-end equipment, has continued to advance into the depths of the Ancestral Highlands. It has now penetrated hundreds of kilometers and has firmly controlled the area it has occupied. During this period, the friction between the Iron Triangle Empire and the Crimson Grand Duchy continued, and after confirming the news that Richard was not in the Crimson Duchy, half of the main army of the Iron Triangle Empire was still tentatively fighting with the Crimson Duchy on the vast battlefield. Leading the way was the reactivated Sarenwell, and it is said that there was also Li Shilongtu's right-hand man in the legion.

However, the side of the Crimson Duchy was unexpected, and it was not a group of wolf-like followers who led the army to fight, but the mysterious General Anlekara!

Anlekara is now the most mysterious figure in the entire Crimson Duchy, and the mysterious Cheng Dù is even above Richard and Quicksand. No one knows where he came from, and he doesn't always show up.

Anlekara always appears and disappears suddenly. But when he appears, it must be accompanied by a near-undefeated record and unpredictable use of troops. Even the occasional failure will later prove to be a premeditated deception. Now after Richard, Anlekara has become the second god of war in the Crimson Grand Duchy, and has never tasted real defeat in his life.

When Sarenwell led his army to provoke again, Anlekara suddenly appeared and led the elite troops of the principality to attack. This time, the Crimson Duchy still maintained its tradition of having fewer troops than its opponents, with 8,000 against 10,000. However, in real combat strength, these 8,000 people must exceed the 10,000 main army of the Iron Triangle Empire, because it contains a full 1,000 humanoid knights armed to the teeth.

The battle unfolded on a vast battlefield of hundreds of kilometers, and the two sides maneuvered, detoured, and set up ambushes, almost bringing their tactical capabilities to the extreme. In the end, Anlekara still prevailed, forcing Sarenwell to fight a decisive battle at an unfavorable time and place, and in the end only more than 3,000 of the Empire's 10,000 main army escaped.

After this battle, Anlekaraway became famous, and he also became a famous general in the Iron Triangle Empire. After his defeat, Sarenwell made a secret report to the Emperor and all the core decision-makers. In the report, he analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of Anlekara in detail, and came to the conclusion that this mysterious general was indeed a rare famous general on the mainland, and he could hardly find any weaknesses in the use of troops, but he was still not as good as Richard.

Richard, Richard was able to win a war that was supposedly impossible to win in a head-on battle.

All in all, Anlekara is still a famous general in the world, but Richard seems to be the embodiment of the god of war in the world.

But whether it is a famous general in the world or the incarnation of a military god, it makes no difference to the Iron Triangle Empire. The entire empire can't find a famous general who can match them, so they can only rely on the advantage of national strength and gather a large army to fight hard against the Crimson Duchy. But this is a battle related to the fortunes of the country, and no one dares to draw conclusions lightly. In the end, the meeting did not produce any meaningful results, except that it was decided to gather intelligence on Anlekara.

This is an endeavor that is doomed to no results. In the Crimson Duchy, only a handful of people know the true face of Anlekara. The new generation of the Principality's mysterious military god is actually just an elite Darkblade Knight. Any elite Knight of the Darkblade, as long as he wears that armor, is Anlekala.

Raymond plus the split brain is Anlekala.

In this tentative skirmish, the Iron Triangle Empire suffered few casualties and as many as 5,000 prisoners. The Crimson Duchy now has a well-known policy of not mistreating captives or deliberately killing opponents on the battlefield. Even after the war, the wounded of the enemy were treated, and thanks to the large and extravagant chaplaincy of the principality, the minor wounded were always treated, and the seriously wounded could hope to survive.

However, for the enemies of the principality, this policy was a deep headache for them. The Crimson Duchy allowed the ransom of captives, and in any case, even if it was tantamount to re-staffing the opposing side. It's just that the redemption price set by the principality is double that of the normal situation, which puts a heavy pressure on the enemy country. It is impossible for any country, from the Iron Triangle Empire to a small principality, not to redeem its warriors when the price set by the Crimson Principality is still within a reasonable range. Since the Crimson Principality, the Great War has been almost invincible, and the number of prisoners captured has been huge, which has put great pressure on the finances of the hostile countries. And after a little time, another effect of this policy began to appear, that is, any legion fighting against the Crimson Duchy, even the most elite legion, would involuntarily retain its strength, and the fighting spirit to fight to the end would drop significantly. Knowing that surrender can lead to a good life, then in the unfavorable situation of the battle, the soldiers' spirit to fight to the death is also greatly reduced.

This was also the case in this battle, where even the main army of the Iron Triangle Empire was defeated, and only about a thousand people were killed in the end.

The situation in the green forest plane is still stable, stable to the point that people want to doze off. There, the daily theme is to cut down trees, cut down trees, or cut down trees. Rocks and timber have piled up, and the yard has grown in size over the base city itself. After the Tree of Life is promoted, its control over the surrounding forests is greatly enhanced, and the difficulty of hostile elves and even druids trying to infiltrate them also increases.

In terms of military strength, Richard's main forces were placed in the Black Rose Castle and Faro. However, he did not deliberately strengthen the drawing of the Construct in the Peerless Battlefield, so the overall number of the Constructed Knights was maintained at two hundred, of which one hundred guarded the plane passage of the Black Rose Castle, and one hundred lent it to Ellie. In Faro, in Richard's absence, the brood is dominated by a level 10 humanoid knight. With the help of the hive, even after the wear and tear of the war, the number of humanoid knights reached as many as three thousand. And the fourteenth level elite Darkblade Knight prepared for Richard is currently only a hundred.

Richard took a rough inventory of the assets at hand, and realized that all he had at his disposal was a meagre reserve of two million, and the rest was used by his followers for military expenses. From Ellijie to Gangde, and even quicksand, all of them are fanatics of war, and Alyselle also knows how to develop her territory, and Gangde is bent on equipping her warriors with the best weapons and the best war horses. The hunk probably had no hobbies other than axes and spirits.

A year has passed, and many followers have stayed at level seventeen. According to Richard's requirements, they were not in a hurry to advance to the ranks, but they carefully polished their will, bloodline and combat skills at this level, and then waited for the day when the water would come to fruition.

At this moment, Richard took a rough inventory of his family's background, took out a stack of envelopes that had been prepared, and distributed them to everyone in the conference room. Followers who didn't make it to the scene also had an envelope of their own. Inside the envelope was a voucher that could redeem a specified amount of gold coins to the Eternal Dragon Palace, and it was also the second reward that Richard had given to his followers since he became the patriarch.
