Chapter 93 Unilateral Agreements
Among those who survived, more than 5,000 were seriously injured, and although they could not die, it was impossible for them to remain in the army. If they could have been treated by the priest in a single day, most of these ordinary warriors would have healed their wounds. However, the number of priests and priests in any plane is extremely limited, and although the number of clergy in Richard's army is extravagant according to Farro's standards, it is impossible for even low-ranking officers to be treated before their injuries have been permanently damaged, let alone treating ordinary soldiers.
The brood's class suffered heavy losses. In the end, only a few dozen of the Feathered Serpents survived, less than four hundred humanoid knights survived, and only a few elite bats remained of the rest. There are still hundreds of worker bees, but it's a pity that this thing can't be used to fight.
At present, the total number of troops under Richard's line has dropped to less than 4,000. Fortunately, the surrounding forces are also greatly damaged, and in the Sequoia Kingdom, Richard's current strength has jumped to the top nobles. Due to the distance of the Iron Triangle Empire, there were few losses in this war, but due to the deterrence of the gods and oracles, they had no way to openly wage war against Richard for at least a year. And a year later, Richard was a whole new Richard.
Another big loss in this battle was the Duke of Blue Wolf.
At this moment, the Duke of Blue Wolf was lying in a tent, his eyes were looking at the top of the tent with his eyes distracted, and his chest was slowly rising and falling. His face was extremely pale, losing all lustre, his skin was an unusually dead gray, and several inconspicuous wounds could be seen on his lower back. It was the part that was stabbed by the old man in gray, and the wound was flashing with a pale golden divine brilliance, but it had no effect at all, all the body tissues in it had died and turned into fibers, just like a piece of wood that had completely decayed into ashes, no matter how strong the life energy could not make it bud again.
When Richard walked into the tent, Quicksand was standing up from Duke Wolf's side and shook his head gently at Richard.
In this tent, there are still three great priests of the goddesses, Phiren, Fermi, and Xiyou, but since the quicksand is helpless, it is impossible for the three of them to have any way.
Richard said, "You go out for a while, and I'll have a few words with the duke." ”
When the people in the tent had left, Richard crouched beside the duke, and a few rays of lightning jumped from his fingertips, sending them into his body. The Duke of Blue Wolf perked up a little, struggling to turn his head to look at Richard, and then slowly raised his clenched right hand.
In the right hand of the Duke of Blue Wolf, a small but delicate seal was held. It was made of lapis gold, with a lifelike wolf head squatting on the top, and a faint and indissipating power flowing within the seal, very similar to the aura of the Duke of the Blue Wolf.
Looking at Richard, Duke Blue Wolf smiled helplessly and said, "It seems that my luck is not very good, and I shouldn't be able to survive this time." When Akmund entered the battlefield with the Knights, the old man in gray apparently realized that the battle situation was extremely dangerous, and tried his best to get rid of the entanglement between the Duke of Glasburg and the Duke of Blue Wolf. After several unsuccessful attempts, an extremely terrifying killing move was issued, and all the soldiers within a radius of more than ten meters fell, regardless of whether they were friends or enemies.
The Duke of Glasburg was in the rear of the side at the time, and although he was also seriously injured, he finally managed to get out of the terrifying dead air. Duke Blue Wolf was unlucky, and just as he was at the edge, he was directly hit by the sword of the old man in gray.
Richard wanted to say that maybe there would be a miracle, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say anything.
The strong men of the town of Faro have the skills and courage to be defeated by anyone. At the beginning of the war, the Duke of Blue Wolf and the Duke of Glasburg, the two original enemies of life and death, met the old man in gray side by side, but the strength of the two sides was far apart, even with the endless divine support of Yi and Io behind him, the two dukes could only pay the price of double injuries in exchange for some injuries of the old man in gray.
At the last critical moment, the wounded old man in gray was unable to escape, and was besieged by the Constructed Knights, who still killed more than ten Constructed Knights before they were dying. It was a knight in a second order suit, and more than half of them had the strength to be close to the naked Sanctuary. If it weren't for the two dukes dragging each other's strongest powerhouses to death, Richard's followers and the allied Sanctuary powerhouses would have suffered heavy casualties.
Richard silently took the wolf seal handed over by the Duke of Blue Wolf and waited for the duke's final explanation.
Duke Blue Wolf said slowly, "Richard, we ...... Friends, aren't they?"
"Of course!" Richard gripped Duke Wolf's hand tightly, his voice a little choked up.
"Help me...... Take care of Perrin and let him follow you. This needs to trouble you...... Four years. Also, my territory...... To...... Toffler, my other son. But there may be trouble in the process......" The Duke said intermittently, his breath getting hotter and hotter, and with each breath he exhaled, his body became a little colder.
Richard took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, Toffler will definitely become the new Duke of the Blue Wolf!"
Now Richard has the determination and ability to prevent the incident of Barony Fontaine's repetition.
Duke Blue Wolf sighed, his eyes stared at the sky with lost eyes, as if he wanted to see the endless sky through the thick tent roof, and said slowly: "For the sake of Perrin, I actually betrayed ...... Farrow. I don't know what my soul is when I die...... Can you ...... with the ancestors again? Tie ......"
The last wisps of heat spit out from the mouth of the Duke of the Blue Wolf, and slowly dissipated with the last of the Duke's self-talk.
It didn't take long for Richard to get up and walk out of the tent. The wind was strong and cold, but it couldn't caress the piece of stuff that was blocking his chest.
Richard grabbed one of the guards and asked, "Where are the captives?"
Soon, in a separate tent, Richard saw Raymond. At this time, Raymond had long lost the calm and wise demeanor he once had, his hair was messy, covered with blood and mud, he was curled up on the ground, coughing desperately, and a little scarlet was splashing from his mouth and nose, as if he was going to crush his heart and lungs and cough it out.
Richard stood coldly at the door and watched for a while, his analytical ability had revealed all of Raymond's physical condition, and then he spoke: "Raymond, just because you are going to die, why do you want to bring so many people to the funeral for you?"
Raymond slowly stopped coughing, struggled to prop up his upper body, and then turned his head and showed a weak smile, "Yes, because I am going to die, I want to do what I have to do before I die." ”
Seeing that he was so calm and so reasonable, Richard suddenly felt a rush of blood on the top of his head!
Richard didn't say a word, he directly reached out and grabbed Raymond's neck, dragged him out of the tent like a dead dog, and slammed him to the ground, pointing to a messy battlefield under the hill, and roared in Raymond's ear: "Open your eyes and take a good look! There are nearly 60,000 corpses lying down here! Even if the lives of the Luo people are worthless, there are also nearly 10,000 Norland warriors there! Now they are all dead here, and they will be dismembered as devil's invaders, and then fed to the beasts." So many lives, just for your bullshit must be done?What is the must do?!"
Raymond was indifferent to Richard's outburst, he didn't cast a glance over there at all, and said calmly: "In the previous few days of war, I lost a total of 20,000 soldiers, more than ten strong men. At least a few thousand of them were not killed on the battlefield, but abandoned by me because of their wounds. Since entering the plane, Faro's army has died at least 100,000 at my hands, oh yes, I have killed more than 50,000 captives. Do you feel even more angry? But this is war. In order to win, in order to accomplish that one thing that had to be done, the price was worth it. ”
Raymond met Richard's eyes, which had begun to erupt with blazing flames, and said word by word, "And what I must do is kill you." ”
Richard gritted his teeth and laughed, and said in an extremely contemptuous tone: "From the moment I stepped into Faust's door, your family has never stopped conspiring and fighting against me and my family! Schumpeter, Mensa, Joseph, and Wellingburg hiding behind you, again and again, do you really think I'm a bully, or do you think I dare not fight back and kill people?!"
"In fact, looking back now, our biggest mistake was not to eradicate you at any cost. Speaking of this, Raymond smiled self-deprecatingly again and said, "Damn the law of balance, limited benefits and limited costs." I can only blame myself for not taking a long-term view. But you must know that in many cases, there is no way to do this, and every family, in every wealthy family, every year, there will be a large number of talented young people who come out, how can they be killed? Ancient wisdom says that strengthening oneself is the best way to deal with the enemy. So we focused all our attention on Gordon and set an acceptable price for you. As soon as we need to pay more than expected, we will give up on dealing with you. But now it seems that there are times when ancient wisdom has exceptions, and you, that exception. ”
Richard had already wanted to punch it, but as Raymond spoke, he slowly calmed down, and the volcano in his eyes slowly subsided. He was no longer angry now, at least he didn't seem angry, and when Raymond finished speaking, Richard just raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Very good, now it's my turn to charge you the price." In the future, you will surely see the demise of the Joseph family!"
"I won't live that long. Raymond said self-deprecatingly.
Richard's voice was indifferent and cold, and he said: "Don't worry, if it falls into my hands, it won't be so easy for you to die! I want you to follow me and witness with my own eyes how I destroyed the Joseph family." ”
