Richard led his troops into the Red Moon Plane, mainly to help the Divine Radiant Empire relieve pressure and take over the Divine Radiance Empire to stabilize the front.

According to Emperor Edward's conditions, the Harland Empire needs to send 80,000 troops and two legendary professionals to maintain the situation in place of the Divine Radiance Empire.

The power of the Divine Radiance Empire will not completely withdraw from the Red Moon Plane, and the 1.6 million square kilometers of land The Divine Radiance Empire will give up 1.2 million and retain the most essential 400,000.

After all, the Red Moon Plane produces some special magical resources, and having the territory of this plane is conducive to the diversity of magical materials and can promote the development of magical civilization. Had it not been for the need to face pressure from other directions, the Divine Radiance Empire decided to shrink its sphere of influence, and Emperor Edward would not have given up on the Red Moon Plane.

The 400,000 square kilometers of land that the Divine Radiance Empire decided to keep were basically not far from Ruin Castle, and the geographical location was to the west of the sea, and the territories that decided to give up were all on the front line.

According to the agreement, the territory to be handed over to Richard was about 1.2 million square kilometers, although there was also a rear, but it was responsible for a front of 900 kilometers long.

The order of the handover between the two sides is also to hand over the front-line territory first, and when Haaland leads the army to station, all the rich land in the rear will be handed over.

Although it has been decided to give up a large area of territory, the main force of the Harland Leader has not yet entered, and the Holy Radiance Empire cannot withdraw its troops and give up its territory at will. It will take a few more years to complete the handover with Haaland. After all, both sides want to maintain the stability of the Red Moon plane and the stability of the battle line.

According to Richard's choice, the first thing the two sides handed over was Beers Castle, which was 1,600 kilometers away from Rouin Castle.

The distance of 1,600 kilometers, even if there are well-established military stations along the way, it will take more than 20 days to a month to march in a hurry.

Of course, the Red Moon Plane is the second plane that the Goddess of Dawn enters after being canonized, and it is also the focus of the Dawn Church's operation. For more than 3,000 years, the Church of Dawn has built a solid foundation in this plane, building eleven long-distance teleportation arrays before and after.

With Ruin Castle as the center, you can teleport to other major strongholds in an instant.

Richard could also choose to teleport to the vicinity of Red Rock Castle by taking a long-distance teleportation array, which is about three hundred kilometers away from Beers Castle, which is not too far.

Long-distance teleportation requires a large amount of magic crystals, and it takes a thousand magic crystals to open a teleportation array, and it can only teleport about a hundred soldiers at one time.

Now the situation at the front is not tense, Richard has enough time, and naturally does not want to spend money in vain. Rushing to Beers Castle is an internal march, which can be used to use the military stations and grain stores established by the Papal States of Dawn, and only need to spend a few dozen gold coins to buy grain and straw along the way, which is enough for the first batch of 300 soldiers to rush to the front line.

Richard left the adjutant Green, the eldest daughter Margaret, and the fourth-order magician Dean to form the Stay-behind Office, which was responsible for receiving the second group of people.

In late May of this year, Margaret's professional level was raised again, and she was promoted to the Five Rings Magician, she was not yet twenty years old, and her magic level was already quite level. The speed of advancement is a few points faster than when Sophia was younger.

Dean is also a high-class talent, the same age as Margaret, who has only been studying magic for eight years and has successfully promoted to a mid-level professional, and has a very bright future.

The reason why Margaret and Dean were promoted so quickly was also an important reason for the superior external conditions. When Richard and Sophia were young, although they were lucky enough to get the magic inheritance, they almost did everything on their own.

By the time Margaret and Dean learn magic, they already have the excellent platform of the Harland Mage Guild. Since childhood, he has been guided by a famous teacher, and the difficulty of acquiring knowledge is low, and he meditates and practices in the magic well every day, and the basic conditions are far beyond those of his predecessors.

has a better external environment, and the speed of promotion at the beginning naturally surpasses that of Richard, Sophia and others.

Margaret, in particular, has no shortage of magic crystals in her hands, has the best external environment, and is very fond of magic, and is particularly diligent in meditation. Coupled with the qualification of one in a million, he can be promoted to a five-ring magician at the age of less than twenty.

Margaret's promotion speed is extremely rare in the Magic Kingdom of Makholm, and there are no three or five people in the whole country.

Green took two geniuses to be stationed at Rouin Castle, and Richard, Sophia, and Sylph rushed to Beers City with an advance team.

The three hundred soldiers led by Richard were not Warcraft cavalry, and in order to speed up the march, they first bought a part of the pack horses at Ruin Castle, and then marched south without stopping.

The physical rules of the Red Moon Plane are almost exactly the same as those of the Dawn Plane, and the vegetation is also quite similar, except that in addition to green, the main colors of the vegetation in this world are red and purple.

Along the way, Richard saw a large number of red fruit trees, the red fruit trees were full of purple fruits, this purple fruit has a lot of starch, Richard tasted, although the taste is very ordinary, but the yield of red fruit trees is very amazing, a fruit tree can produce two or three hundred catties.

Thirty trees are planted on one acre of land, and the yield per mu is several thousand catties.

"If you can transplant plants from the Red Moon Plane to the Dawn Plane, it will greatly increase the yield of food. It's just that the difficulty of cross-plane transplantation is inevitably high. If it had been successfully transplanted simply, this red fruit tree would have already spread in the Dawn Plane. ”

Richard suppressed the emotion in his heart, and still decided to establish a botanical research institute in the Red Moon plane to study the deep causes of plant growth.

"When we have a foundation in the Red Moon Plane, we must build a mage tower and a magic plantation, hybridize plants across the plane, and the research on transplantation must also be strengthened and carried out as soon as possible."

Richard looked at the unfamiliar plants on the road and made up his mind.

Along the way, the crowd admired the strange scenery and marched at a rapid pace, and it took only twenty-one days to arrive at Beers Castle.

The daily march reached a speed of 80 kilometers, which was an extraordinary performance.

One of the most important factors in the reason why the infantry marched so fast was the internal march, with towns every few tens of kilometers, and there was no need to camp in the field. In addition, Richard's subordinates are all professional elite soldiers, and their physical fitness far exceeds that of ordinary infantry.

In fact, marching lightly and without carrying a large amount of baggage, Haaland led the elite troops to march for 20 hours in a row, marching 200 kilometers in a day and night. After all, the physical fitness of the profession far exceeds that of ordinary people, even if it is a warrior apprentice, the physical strength is already several points better than that of athletes.

A first-order warrior can carry a heavy object of seven or eight hundred catties, and his strength exceeds that of Richard's fierce general brother in his previous life.

When Richard arrived at Beers Castle, Haaland and the second group had already set off from Rouin Castle and were halfway there. The second group totaled more than five hundred people, including forty magicians, ten priests of the dawn, and thirty bipedal dragoons. Three hundred infantry, one hundred and twenty Warcraft cavalry.

The speed of the two-legged wyvern was extremely fast, and by the time Richard and his people had just completed the handover with the Divine Radiance Empire army and settled down, the two-legged wyvern had already appeared nearby.

Although they rushed to the front line, due to the continuous rapid march and the unsuitable environment, six of the thirty bipedal wyverns actually suffered from diseases.

"Sabo, go and count how many of our people are sick? By the way, let Adrian come over, and I'm going to ask him if he has found the cause. ”

Even the rough-skinned and thick-skinned Wyvern suffered from a large number of diseases, which immediately attracted Richard's attention, and after the completion of the handover of the Bills garrison, Richard immediately showed special concern for this problem.

Not long after, Saber appeared in Richard's tent with Adrian.

Saber is the third son of Rogge, he is over thirty years old, his talent is not bad, he has awakened the knightly bloodline, and now he is a fourth-order knight, and he is the lieutenant next to Richard like Green.

As soon as Saber entered the tent, he reported what he had learned to Richard.

"Honorable Duke, after entering the Red Moon plane, our people have been sick, one hundred and eighty-six people have cough, cold, fever, vomiting symptoms, most of them are mild, do not affect the usual activities, more than 100 of them have been cured, now a total of 27 people in the battalion are lying in bed to recuperate, the remaining 50 officers and soldiers have very mild symptoms, should be able to recover within three days."

After entering the Red Moon plane, the officers and soldiers of Haaland led various symptoms such as water and soil adaptation and pneumonia have appeared one after another, although they got the information of the Dawn Church and took precautions in advance, a large number of diseases are still inevitable.

Fortunately, Haaland's medical force is very strong, and the army not only has a large number of magicians and priests, but also a large number of doctors and a wide variety of medicines, so there are no dead people.

Seeing that although the scale of the injury was relatively large, it had been controlled, Richard finally let go of his worries, he turned his head, stared at Adrian and asked, "Adrian, did your medical department find the cause?" ”

Adrian, despite his low professional rank, is the head of the medical department, and has studied in this field for more than 20 years, Adrian is not only a medical researcher, but also an experienced and excellent doctor.

"Combined with the observation of microscopes and magic powers, the cause of the disease is mainly the unique viruses and bacteria of the Red Moon plane, and the flora and viruses of this plane are slightly different from those of the Dawn plane.

Bacteria and viruses are everywhere, and we can only rely on our own immunity to adapt. Fortunately, the people who entered the Red Moon Plane were all professionals, with very strong physique and super immunity, so our casualties would be relatively light. If it is an ordinary person, the mortality rate is at least ninety percent. ”

Hearing Adrian's words, Richard suddenly thought of something, his face changed slightly, and he hurriedly asked: "Since viruses are slightly different from bacteria, will we bring germs from the Red Moon Plane into the Dawn Plane?" ”

"There is a violent spatial energy when teleporting across the plane, which is estimated to be able to kill viruses and bacteria, or because of the divine power of the goddess of Dawn, it helps us sanitize viruses and bacteria.

The Dawn Church has operated the Red Moon Plane for 3,000 years, and frequently opens cross-plane teleportation. The kingdom of Palame has never heard of a serious plague, and we don't need to worry about this for the time being. ”

Richard also agrees with Adrian's speculation. According to Adrian's observations, the epidemic in the military is not very serious, and the vast majority of professionals can rely on the strong immunity of the flesh to adapt to the viruses and bacteria of the Red Moon plane.

Although the physical fitness of the magician is a little worse, it far exceeds that of ordinary people. If you can't bear the immunity and suffer from a disease, you can use magic to save your life, healing can enhance your vitality, you can expel diseases to eliminate viruses and bacteria, and space spells such as dimensional gates can also make magicians enter a vacuum environment.

The two chatted for a moment, and Richard began to gather the main officers to discuss the military situation.

"Beers Castle is already a front-line stronghold, and there is an enemy ten kilometers away. We've just entered the Red Moon plane, and despite the paper-based information we have from the Church of Dawn, we're still relatively new to the enemy.

For the first time, you must be cautious.

Tomorrow's reconnaissance mission, Silf and I will be personally involved, and Sophia will take a part of the soldiers to sit at Beers Castle. Twenty Wyvern Knights will be drawn to participate in tomorrow's reconnaissance operation. ”

Since being promoted to Earl and commanding the army, Richard has hardly personally participated in reconnaissance operations. This time I went out in person, and I just left Biers Castle, and I didn't have time to enjoy the scenery along the way of the new plane. An extremely strong sense of danger suddenly hit, and Richard was sweating profusely, knowing in his heart that his talent for danger perception had come into play.

Almost instinctively, Richard activated the magic and activated the force field protection spell attached to the High Enchanted Armor, while raising the arm shield, hiding his body behind the arm shield. A variety of magic runes have also been condensed in the spiritual power space, and a variety of spells have been prepared and ready to be used at any time.

"Enemy attack, everyone be careful."

After taking precautions, Richard immediately issued a reminder. Sylph reacted the fastest, and after hearing Richard's reminder, she jumped onto the tree and disappeared from Richard's eyes. The other officers and soldiers were all professionals, and they reacted equally quickly, and the soldiers stopped in unison, squatted down and raised the force field shield they carried with them.

Before Richard could finish speaking, there was a sudden sound of breaking the air in his ears.

Several sounds of breaking the air were extremely sharp, and a terrible scream suddenly appeared near Richard.

Richard swept his eyes and found that hundreds of feathered arrows were shooting towards everyone, a white metal arrow hit the force field shield fiercely, sliding through the force field shield and stabbing fiercely into the dirt, despite the force field shield protection, Richard still felt the fierce wind.

This metal arrow is about four feet long, and it looks like it is issued with a high-grade enchanted bow and crossbow, and its power is extremely amazing. The arrow was ferociously inserted into the stone wall on Richard's left, and the arrow was two feet deep into the stone wall, and the shaft of the arrow exposed to the ground was still vibrating, making a palpitating buzzing sound.
