Chapter 67 The appearance of the church

In Sdison's mind. At this moment, fear has overtaken hatred and jealousy.

He knew very well what the pit under his feet meant. Richard just didn't use any magic. Just a few more tramples. to be able to take out most of the people around you. Including him. Their speed root can't escape the range of the impact.

And Stexon was only ten meters away from Richard at the moment. Such a little distance. Richard was able to kill him two times with a single instant spell.

So the battle on the periphery of the battlefield is in full swing at the moment. But there was silence in the middle of the battlefield. No one dared to act rashly. Let Richard stand there thoughtfully.

Since Sdison below. Most of the generals were within Richard's reach. They didn't dare to make any moves. For fear of an immediate attack. Naturally, it is impossible to command. So this army of 100,000 quickly collapsed.

Of the ten thousand knights that Richard brought. There are more than 100 Constructed Knights. There are also nearly a thousand Darkblade Knights. In terms of combat power. Far more than Sdisson's army.

When Richard finally woke up from the memories of the old days. When you speak. The generals were relieved.

"Surrender. Stop resisting uselessly. ”

The generals looked at each other. Eventually, eyes were on Stexon. Stason gritted his teeth and asked, "What if I say no." ”

Richard smiled: "That's easy. Kill them all. My law commands death. I don't know if any of you have the confidence to resist. ”

The generals were all pale. The Law of Death was originally a ninth-level instant death magic. Now cast by Richard, the legendary mage. It's too late to escape within this range. As long as the strength is below the Grand Magus. They will all die.

Stexon swallowed hard. Finally said: "I surrender." ”

Richard nodded. Pointing to Minnie and Stexon. "You don't have to worry. You can go in a while. I need you to go back and bring a message to Duke Solam. Let him do his best to deliver the ransom. A top-of-the-line offering. I just let all the soldiers and generals here. He had three days to prepare. Of course, if the duke is too injured to move. Then you can come over with another person. ”

Stexon's eyes widened in shock. Duke Sovim was wounded. And the injuries are not clear. That said. The Duke had already had a fight with Richard.

This is the end of the battle. Sdison's 100,000-strong army surrendered in time. The casualties were not significant. Richard didn't have too many difficulties for Jameson and Minnie.

It just looked like Minnie had something to say to Richard. But Stexon was on the side. She swallowed back the words that had come to her lips.

After defeating Stilson. Due to the early retreat of the other two troops of Duke Solam. Richard couldn't catch up for a while. So I just let them go.

Several of the other duke's private soldiers were then rewarded with battle reports. Frightened, he immediately stood still. Invisibly. Richard made the looming crisis invisible.

To Richard. The aristocratic private army is not a problem at all. The difficulty lies in the Sacred Tree Dynasty.

However, a group of Shenmu Ugin is not a big deal in terms of value. But since it involves the life and death of a descendant of Richard's genius. That's an absolute big deal. This kind of thing. It is already equivalent to a blood feud between life and death. Richard would have made sense even if he had started a war directly.

So now Richard has pushed the situation directly to the brink of war. And he also began to kill the blood relatives of the Marquis of Brahms.

Under Richard's strong blockade. The entire Brahms Collar has been turned into a cage. All the marquis's relatives were under surveillance. The sky is also off-limits. You are allowed to enter but not to go out. As long as any griffon wants to fly out of the territory. will be shot down by Richard's army.

The act of killing blood relatives. Finally Brahms understood. Richard was determined to fight the entire Sacred Tree Dynasty. This realization made the marquis feel cold to the bone. How dare Richard. A nobleman. How dare and the entire Holy Tree Dynasty. The whole Church of Light is against it.

When Richard led his army back to Sunset. Also in custody were 70,000 private troops belonging to the Duke of Solam. Counting the marquis's private army that was captured earlier. Nearly 150,000 prisoners of war have been held in the Sunset City POW camp.

This group of fighters. This means a huge ransom. Twenty gold coins per person. The ransom that needed to be paid alone was close to the value of the Divine Mu Ugin. And that's not counting the dozens of nobles with titles.

Stexon and Minnie were released. These two former classmates and rivals have now been left behind by Richard. There is no hostile qualification. Richard no longer needed to step on Sdison's wounds. A relaxed attitude that can be released at will. It's the best contempt.

And Richard wants Stilson to stay in charge. After all, this opponent is too easy to deal with. It's a pity that after so many years, Stexon hasn't entered the realm of the Grand Magister. So there's not much hope for that.

After returning to Sunset. Richard continued with the most basic exercises. While admiring the armor in the study. Then wait. Waiting for a new war.

Day 3. Richard got the news. Paladins of the Church. The legendary powerhouse St. Thomas personally led 50,000 Knights of the Church. It has reached a place less than fifty kilometers from the Brahms territory.

The private army of the Duke of Sanlu, who had retreated, made a comeback. Together with St. Thomas. Plus the private army of small and medium-sized lords recruited along the way. Thomas brought with him an army of 300,000 this time.

Such a huge disparity in forces. Even Richard couldn't ignore it. So Richard simply gathered the army. Directly met the army of St. Thomas.

On this day. There is also a little episode. Maybe it's because he knows that the dynasty's reinforcements have arrived. The relatives of the Marquis of Brahms were a little uneasy again.

As a result, Richard was not afraid of the approaching imperial army. sent someone to arrest the two viscounts who made the most trouble. Hang yourself directly in front of the gates of Dragonwing Castle.

They were all uncles of the Marquis of Brahms. Thus he was put to death in front of the marquis. It was only a small group of knights who carried out the hanging. The Marquis de Brahms never showed up. It's just that everything in the study and bedroom has been smashed to the ground.

Everyone in Dragonwing Castle knows it. Richard had lost his patience. And the Marquis of Brahms still stubbornly refused to bow his head.

Soon. Richard met St. Thomas's army in a river valley north of the marquisate.

A full army of 300,000 people. It looks like it's all over the mountains. At the very center is the Church Order. This time St. Thomas brought a whole ten thousand knights of the Church. The holy white armor, the bright red ribbon and the cloak. It looks extremely majestic.

And in contrast. Richard had only 30,000 troops on display behind him. The disparity in power is enormous. However, in momentum. These 30,000 people were no worse than the army of the church opposite.

The battle array between the two sides is good. Richard and St. Thomas rode forward together. Meet in the middle of the battlefield. St. Thomas was followed by several cardinal archbishops. Among them was also a cardinal. And Semir was the only one behind Richard.

The years have left deep marks on St. Thomas's face. Every wrinkle records a piece of history. This paladin, who is over three hundred years old this year. It has gone through six emperors and nine popes. He had a resolute countenance. The eyes are determined. Nothing could affect his decisions and judgments.

"Richard Akmund. Stop your intrusion. Immediately withdraw from Brahms territory. This is your last chance. Otherwise. I will uproot your castle of the Black Roses as well. St. Thomas said in a deep voice.

Richard was slightly stunned. St. Thomas's tone smacked of threats and commands. High. Don't say this to Richard. Even to an ordinary lord, it seems rude. It was clear that the paladin had no intention of resolving the matter peacefully.

Seeing that Richard did not answer for a while. St. Thomas's face sank. He shouted, "What." You still want to challenge the majesty of the dynasty and the church. If you hadn't colluded with the heretics in the church. Thought you would get this chance to exit safely. Now get out of the land of the dynasty at once. Otherwise. I'll just say that you rejected the tolerance and kindness of the church. ”

Richard's eyes narrowed slightly. But not waiting for him to speak. St. Thomas said, "But keep all the knights in costume." as collateral. After you have paid the compensation that satisfies the church. These Constructed Knights will be returned to you. ”

Richard looked at St. Thomas. Said lightly: "This request." It's your own decision or the decision of the Church of Light. ”

St. Thomas' face flashed with murder. Say, "You don't need to know that." ”

Richard became more and more calm and patient: "There is a big difference. St. Thomas. If it's your personal decision. I advise you to take it back now. Because you don't represent the church. I can't afford to take that responsibility. ”

St. Thomas's face grew colder and colder. Reaching out and pointing at the tip of Richard's nose: "I can't afford to be responsible." Right now. Over here. My decision is the church's decision. Now the choice is yours. Or leave the Constructed Knight. Roll yourself. Otherwise, I'll help you get out. ”

Richard's face finally changed. He took a deep breath. Then a charming smile began to appear on his face.

That's when it happened. Suddenly, a pleasant but majestic voice sounded on the battlefield: "St. Thomas." This is the place to be. You can't replace the church. ”

Hear the voice. St. Thomas's face changed. And there was a commotion among the knights of the church.

The sky that had been cloudy suddenly brightened. A thick pillar of holy light appeared in midair.

The beam of light is milky white. It's dazzling, but it's not dazzling. A central gate of light slowly opened. Dozens of people in holy robes walked out of it. Just hanging over the battlefield out of thin air.

on the robe of the first man. Decorated with gold ornaments. He was armed with a scepter. Looking down on St. Thomas.
