Chapter 88 On the eve of the decisive battle

Now, however, the weaker opponents in the Duke's surrounding territories have been wiped out, and all that remains are powerful nobles, or even Grand Duchy. And even within the Sequoia Kingdom, there is more and more opposition to the rapid expansion of the Duke of Blue Wolf. Duke Blue Wolf is a dukedom, and he is about to defeat the entire Baiyan Principality. If he really annexes the Duchy of White Rock, then the most threatened is the royal family of the Sequoia Kingdom.

At the beginning, the royal family of the Sequoia Kingdom jumped out to support the Magic Association semi-publicly, and it must be said that there were also factors that figured out Guò Richard to contain the Duke of the Blue Wolf. It's just that I didn't expect Richard's strength to be strong enough to win the war almost single-handedly, but instead pit a lot of the royal family's strength.

Even a momentary tyrant like Duke Blue Wolf felt deeply tired and powerless in the face of such an inexplicable situation. This time he was lucky enough, so what about next time, and next time?

But Richard did not directly answer Duke Wolf's question, but said: "What I can confirm now is that Perrin's question was directly guided by the oracle of Sinai, the god of time. ”

In fact, the implication of this sentence is that if Perrin's dilemma is to be completely solved, it is either for Sinai to take back the oracle, and this has no precedent in history. Either that or simply push Sinai off the altar. The latter was originally just in the delusion of a madman, but with the arrival of Richard, it gave Duke Blue Wolf a ray of light.

I will be the enemy of God......

The Duke thought, but his heart gradually calmed down.

And Richard looked at the vast darkness at his feet, but he also wondered who his enemy was. It seems that he has a very, very many enemies, and it can even be said that everyone in the strange plane is his own enemy. In Norland, Richard also had many enemies inherited from Gordon, such as Schumpeter, Mensah, and so on.

Richard suddenly thought of Gordon. This man's enemies also seem to be too numerous to count, and he spent the second half of his adult life in war and expansion. However, when Gordon marched to Faust with only thirteen horsemen, when Richard disappeared, Gordon resolutely went to war with the four giants at the same time, and every battle was sure to be won, when this man did not care about borrowing an astronomical amount of debt from Su Helen, Richard finally understood that this man had never taken these so-called enemies to heart at all from the beginning. To Gordon, those great enemies in the eyes of the world are just small troubles on his way. No one knows where this man's heart is.

If you look far ahead, Richard's real enemy seems to be in Calando, with a huge shadow hanging over the temple of the snowy mountain, looking down on the mountains and the sea, and his enemy seems to be in the depths of the plane, where it comes from nowhere, and will never be able to wipe out the clean shadow swarm. His enemies are hidden deeper in time, and can make the all-powerful Su Helen drift forever.

It suddenly seemed to Richard that the whole world had become unreal. His consciousness hovers between the real and the unreal.

Richard's eyes closed, then opened again, and when they closed, his gaze deepened.

Separated by the darkness of the night, it was not his enemy, but just a little trouble in his climbing path.

It was a quiet and peaceful night, with a gentle wind blowing. But when it passed through the many busy warriors, it had quietly taken on a murderous aura.

Suddenly, there was a dense sound of footsteps under the tower, and the guards under the tower shouted: "The Duke of Glasburg has arrived!

A moment later, the Duke of Glasburg, dressed in black armor, appeared at the top of the tower, and behind him was Countess Catherina. Tonight, the Countess took off her long skirt and put on beautifully made chain mail again, which actually added a touch of heroism and murderous aura, and that implicit momentum was hardly weaker than that of the Duke of Glasburg. And Anna, who was behind her, was completely suppressed by the countess at this time, and looked bleak.

Only then did Richard realize that this was the true face of the countess. How could a woman who only knows how to find a man to sleep with can create such an elite army.

It was the first time the Duke of Grassburg had met. The Duke of Glasburg is scheming and has always been the sworn enemy of the Duke of Glasburg, but this time the Duke of Glasburg has taken out almost two-thirds of all his troops, and more than 10,000 have arrived on the battlefield, and there are 10,000 reinforcements in the follow-up, which will arrive soon. Judging from this number, all the elites in the duke's hands have already entered the war, much to Richard's surprise.

The Duke of Glasburg was tall and thin, with his gray hair meticulously combed, and every wrinkle on his face as deep as a knife. Similar to Duke Greywolf, he also has wolf-like eyes.

When Viscount Sim sent back a message from the territory, claiming that the Duke of Glasburg's army would also join Richard's coalition army, Richard originally thought that the Duke would only send troops, but he did not expect the Duke himself to arrive. So he took a step forward and said with a smile, "Your Excellency, I am really surprised by your arrival. ”

The Duke of Glasburg replied lightly and said, "Sim has stayed in the territory, and I have come here, he can be honest at home." ”

Richard smiled in understanding. Bloodline reproduction is a top priority for any family, and the war of invaders is too dangerous, and it has been proven that even the strongest of the town will fall.

The Duke of Glasburg glanced at the silent Duke of Blue Wolf next to him, and said indifferently: "What's more, the two old guys Billie and I can fight in the kingdom now." In addition, I have all my belongings on you, of course, I have to come and see it in person to rest assured. ”

Richard pointed to the stone tower, smiled and said, "That's all for now, do you feel at ease?"

The Duke of Grassburg, standing by the stone tower, looked down and saw the layout of the defensive position in the distribution of the firelight, so he stretched his gaze a little, and said, "You have never disappointed. ”

Richard smiled silently.

The Duke of Glasburg's gaze swept over the crowd at the top of the stone tower, and almost every time he looked at someone, the corners of his eyes jumped.

Duke Blue Wolf is an old rival, both of them are strong people in Faro Town, whether they are leading or individual battles, they have fought more than once, and they have also fought side by side with foreign countries many times, so it can be said that they are very familiar with each other. However, seeing him again at this time, the Duke of Glasburg felt a strange feeling in the Duke of Blue Wolf.

Richard's followers, all of whom were obviously not very high-level, all made him feel threatened. Finally, when the Duke of Glasburg's gaze fell on a female mage wearing a metal mask behind Richard, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyes seemed to be pierced by needles, making him close his eyes immediately, and two lines of tears flowed involuntarily.

At this time, the Duke of Blue Wolf said: "Old friend, we can't look at the people around Richard with our past eyes. ”

The Duke of Glasburg took a breath, opened his eyes, and nodded. His eyes were already bloodshot and instantly turned red. This is the Duke of Glasburg's secret technique, which can roughly detect the strength of his opponent. This secret technique is more domineering and precise than that mastered by the Duke of Blue Wolf, and the price is that once the person with strength above him is detected, he will be relentlessly counterattacked. Fortunately, the Duke of Glasburg's detection was not hostile, and the other party had no intention of fighting back, so he only suffered a slight injury to his eye.

After fixing his mind, the Duke of Glasburg said: "Actually, I have brought very bad news this time. The coalition of the Royal Expeditionary Force and several other principality expeditionary forces fought a second decisive battle with the invaders early this morning. As a result, in the first battle, the coalition forces with absolute superiority in strength were all wiped out, and the crown prince of our Sequoia Kingdom and the five archmages of the Mage Association were all killed. ”

The royal family has always been on the same side as the Duke of Glasburg, and has been suppressing the Duke of Blue Wolf. But hearing this news, Duke Blue Wolf didn't care about rejoicing at the fall of his opponent, but felt a chill in his heart. Although the royal expeditionary force is not very numerous, it is definitely elite.

"How many people are there in the coalition?" Duke Blue Wolf couldn't help but ask.

"Seventy thousand. The Duke of Glassburg said the number with a wry smile.

Duke Wolf's eyebrows suddenly locked, and his voice became a little dry: "Seventy thousand troops, all annihilated? Didn't the invaders just have a bloody battle with the Baroque King yesterday?"

"Yes. ”

Duke Wolf's heart was heavier than ever. The invaders first defeated the hundreds of thousands of Baroque coalition troops who came preparedly in one fell swoop, almost sweeping away the powerful people of the Baroque Kingdom. Then, after only one night's rest, he once again marched straight forward, completely annihilating the coalition army, which was several times the number of troops.

This result also reveals a terrifying and terrifying truth. You must know that on the battlefield, it is much more difficult to annihilate an army than to defeat it. Once a certain percentage of battle losses are reached, even the most disciplined armies will be scattered, especially if they are coalition forces. Therefore, there is only one possibility, that is, the battle between the two armies is quite short, that is to say, the invader has an overwhelming advantage in force, and it is not even a tug-of-war, so that the personal powerhouse of the Great Magus, who can leave the battlefield on his own, will not even have a chance to escape.

In front of the invaders, although there are many countries within hundreds of kilometers, the elite forces have been exhausted in the two decisive battles before and after, and the invaders' front can be said to be open.

Now in front of the invaders, it is Richard's men who have gathered the most powerful forces. And between Richard and the invaders, the military strength of those small principalities, I am afraid that even if you want to delay the invaders, you can't do it.

"How many intruders are there now?" asked Richard.

"According to the latest intelligence, they may have thirteen thousand people left. Before the decisive battle with the coalition forces, about 16,000 invaders entered the battle. Said the Duke of Glassburg.

"Two dukes, countesses, you have all seen the cousins of the warriors under my command. If I were to lead 16,000 elite soldiers and 70,000 coalition troops, what do you think would be the result?" asked Richard.
