Bayi Chinese Network [This chapter is finished for you, and without waiting for the castle to reply, Richard ordered Gangde, ogres and a team of humanoid warriors, let them enter the twilight castle first, and the key points in the control zhì are especially important to pay attention to several city defense giant crossbows, although Richard does not believe that Baron Fontaine can still afford enchanted crossbow arrows, but it is always right to be careful

When the team was about to set off, Richard suddenly felt two burning glances from the side, and when he looked sideways, it was Io Richard's love surging again, and he was almost about to say that together with Gangde, in the first batch of words to enter the twilight castle, it was finally suppressed Richard is a magician and a commander, and the idea of entering the castle with the vanguard is absolutely stupid

When Richard was still glad that he had finally not been carried away by jealousy, who knew that Io suddenly said: "I will go in with them too"

Due to the position and responsibilities of the battle priest, there are many means to save his life, and Richard is not easy to oppose, but somehow, Io's decision made Richard feel indescribably awkward, and even the joy of taking the castle of Dusk without a bloody sword was diluted

Half an hour later, the entire Château at Dusk had fallen into Richard's hands, and Baron Fontaine's remaining forces did not seem to have been replenished much in these days, so Richard's entry was almost not resisted, in fact, after the Count Latour withdrew with his army, the defenders had long lost the heart of resistance

Richard went around the castle everywhere, even the secret room and the wine cellar did not let go of this is a habit of his, as long as he has seen it, he will remember that after this time, the enemy wants to use the castle of dusk as a stronghold again, and the geographical advantage will be greatly weakened

However, in the Baroness's bedroom, Richard saw many unexpected special tools and props, and it was evident that in the past, the Baroness had spent a rather rich time with the generals who occupied the place, and not very reluctantly, at least at first, thinking of the days when he fought side by side with Baron Fontaine, Richard's face became more and more gloomy

It took another hour to walk the entire castle, and now that Richard's men had gradually become accustomed to his style, they had begun to develop enough patience

After visiting the castle, Richard saw the Baroness and Baroness Fontaine sitting on the edge of their desks in Baron Fontaine's private room, while Baroness Fontaine and Baroness sat opposite each other in the chairs usually prepared for guests, looking very reserved

Richard was the first to ask, "You haven't had a good time in the past?"

Baron Fontaine pursed his lips stubbornly on this question, and without saying a word, the young man seemed to have a lot of prejudices against Richard, especially for him to open up the identity of a knight, always showing a kind of obsessiveness, the arrogance of the nobleman, the baroness was much more pragmatic, and hung her head deeply, since she knew that Richard had gone around the whole castle, she also knew that he must have seen many things that could not be made public

Richard tapped on the desk under his ass and said, "Let me guess who used to sit behind this desk constantly? Latour, or Odom?"

The Baroness was anxious to remain silent, but knew that doing so would easily provoke the other party, so she said softly, "They have all sat down, but the Count of Latour sat more often"

Richard smiled and said, "Madame, you are very clever, but unfortunately, not wise, if you had persevered a little more, you probably would not have fallen to this point?

The Baroness sighed lightly, and then resigned herself to her fate: "Give us your domain, and cut a part of the noble territory of their vassals to make up a viscount."

"A viscount even makes me a little tempted, but can this be fulfilled?" asked Richard rhetorically

The Baroness sobbed quietly, this question did not need to be answered at allIn fact, during this time, even the weapons workshop of the Barony of Fontaine was not able to operate normally, but was taken over by the cronies of the Count of Latour, and the little Baron Fontaine did not know what was made there, and only got a meaningful gold coin to make up for that little gold coin, which was not enough for the Baroness to purchase jewelry in the past

Richard called in a soldier and ordered, "Go and call Sisoka."

A moment later, Hisoka walked into the office and saw his mother and brother, he seemed very excited, but he refrained from rushing over, and his mother and brother used to stand on the opposite side of Richard, Hisoka knew it, but he was also very aware of his father's dying wishes, and fully carried it out, and now he has completely dedicated himself to the dragon of eternity and time, so he is firmly on Richard's side

Hisoka's level has reached level five, and he already belongs to the middle priesthood, and at his age, this is definitely an achievement to be proud of, so Hisoka stood there, and naturally had a momentum

Richard patted Hisoka on the shoulder and said, "You see, Sisoka is now a fifth-level priest, and it won't be long before he becomes a noble high priest I miss the friendship of Baron Fontaine and admire his wisdom now...... You'll talk for a while."

Hisoka immediately looked agitated, and looked up at Richard inquiringly

Richard patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about time"

Before leaving, Richard remembered something, turned around and said: "Little Baron Fontaine, I just heard that your uncle unfortunately fell off a cliff in the process of chasing bandits, and now his life and death are unknown"

The little baron looked up and said dryly, "Ah, is that so?"

Richard smiled and pushed the door open

The next day, Baron Fontaine the Younger publicly announced that he would return to the Duke of Greywolf as a vassal and declare an alliance with Sir Richard to punish a crime against Richard in his domain

After another week, the convoy full of building materials departed from Barony Fontaine's domain, and drove to Richard's domain, accompanied by various craftsmen, many of whom had been taken from Richard's domain, and the weapons workshops on the baron's domain were busy working again, and every month they were able to produce hundreds of sets of high-quality armor and equipment, and these products naturally flowed to Richard's territory

Richard's castle was able to start construction again

Richard only left a few dozen soldiers to garrison the territory, the brigade reopened, and returned to the Blue Water Oasis This is Richard's habit, as long as he brings all his strength with him, then the territory is safe Whoever dares to fight the idea of Richard's territory, once the army returns, it can be destroyed immediately

But before he returned, he sent a letter to all the powerful nobles who were adjacent to the Bloodstained Lands, inviting them to send representatives to Bluewater Oasis City to discuss a real matter together:

Longitudinal line plan

This plan is to gather the strength of the major nobles and several merchant groups to work together to open a passage from east to west, through the bloodstained land, the end of which will reach the miserable white highlands in the northwest, and establish a connection with the dwarven kingdom there, and the income of the passage will be distributed proportionally according to the investment of human and material resources of all parties involved

Once the longitudinal line plan is implemented, it will be a fatal blow to the horse bandits, thieves and even a foreign race on the passage in the bloodstained land, and it will also have a certain impact on the Iron Triangle Empire It is precisely because of the danger of the Bloodstained Land that many small caravans and groups are bypassing the Iron Triangle Empire, although the route is lengthened, and all kinds of taxes are paid, but it is still better than the loss of people and goods, and the red Cossacks that Richard planned to completely destroy during this period are also a large merchant group belonging to the Iron Triangle Empire

The Vertical Line Project was very wide-ranging, and Richard even sent an invitation to Viscount Chim

Viscount Sim is still a trouble, but it's not so troublesome In fact, from beginning to end, Richard only felt that the Viscount, together with the forces behind it, was just a trouble to deal with the human nobles, a common feature is that it is easy to use various means to delay time, there is a brood, and delaying time is always beneficial to Richard

War can also be a very effective diplomatic tool against the great nobles

This time, the 700 cavalry led by Sir Odom was completely annihilated, and even to the Duke of Glasburg, so lost, it was impossible to make up for it in a year, and the Earl of Canglu was indirectly disabled, the two great magicians and the two great priests were all killed, and the commander of the Plantagenet Swordsman battalion was also killed, and most of the backbone strength under the command of the Earl of Canglu was lost at once

The number of people lost does not seem to be large, but all of them are the most elite warriors Odom is a Sanctuary powerhouse, and each Sanctuary powerhouse can play a great role, otherwise the Faro Plane would not give every sixteenth-level professional the title of Sanctuary powerhouse

Richard believed that if he went to war with himself again, even the Duke of Glasburg would have to carefully consider the gains and losses, after all, the interests of the other party were still unknown, and the losses were intuitively visible

On any human plane, astonishing news travels faster than the wind

By the time Richard's troops returned to the Bluewater Oasis, news of the death of Sir Odom, a Duke of Glasburg's command, had already spread throughout the city, so when Richard returned to the army, invitations and visits filled his desk again

Richard swept all the pieces of paper into the garbage basket with a flick of his hand

Then he locked himself up and waited for the representatives of the various nobles to arrive, while he buried himself in drawing the costumes

On the one hand, this is Richard's usual diligence, on the other hand, he is a little reluctant to see Io, but he also does not want to ask quicksand in Richard's heart, the same question has been asked once, but if he has not been answered, he does not want to ask a second time

In fact, the longitudinal line plan was the product of Richard's whimsical when he was extremely depressed, and he thought he was crazy at the time, but after thinking about it, he unexpectedly found that the plan was promising, so Richard simply put aside a qiē and spent two days perfecting this crazy plan
