Chapter 49 The Taste of Fate
So Richard understood that he had thought of Sarenwell in the same way, and his answer was probably the same as his own.
Richard stood at the high point of the Iron Throne, and when he turned around, he could look down on most of the city, and take in the bruised state of the famous city of Faro.
"How many people are still here. Richard asked suddenly.
Sarenwell was stunned and said, "I haven't had time to count them, but I originally evacuated all the people from the surrounding areas into the city, and there were eight million people at that time, and now there are about two million people." โ
Richard flipped the explosion barrel in his hand and said, "This thing you designed is very useful, and it might be able to hold this place, I mean next time." โ
Richard's final emphasis silenced Sarenwell, who knew very well that even if Richard gave him the support he needed, the best outcome would be to hold the next attack, and who knows how many fighters and how many fighters will appear in the third round of the Reaper's attack.
Richard turned to Sarenwell and said, "I can trust you one more time, for you, and for the two million people here, the reinforcements I can give you will arrive the day after tomorrow, this time I will give you two thousand humanoid knights and three hundred night jฤซng spirits, this thing can be tied to arrows and struck by night jฤซng spirits, as for humanoid knights, you can use zรฌyรณu." โ
Sarenwell's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Richard's hand tightly, but he was so excited that he didn't know what to say, Richard's support was not much, but how could he not know how precious the brood combat units and high-level troops were in this environment.
Richard patted Sarenwell's hand and said, "But I also have one condition, after the next battle, no matter how many people are still alive here, they must evacuate immediately, we will never be able to hold the fourth attack here, and I will not have any spare troops to distribute to you at that time, at that time, it is time to leave the fate to heaven, and the survivors need to move to the Crimson Kingdom immediately, maybe they can reach their destination." โ
Sarenwell solemnly said: "I understand, I will be with my people." โ
"No, there's an extra requirement for you, after the next war, you, and some of the people you consider important, must leave first with a flyer. โ
"Me"
Sarenwell still wanted to argue, but was interrupted by Richard: "It's not a build, it's an order, you can choose not to obey, but in this case, you won't have reinforcements." โ
Sarenwell pointed to the busy people below and whispered, "But there are two million people here. โ
Richard didn't give in, and said: "There are still 50 million people in the Crimson Kingdom, and there are hundreds of millions of people in the southern countries, and if these warriors I give you are placed in the Crimson Kingdom, they can save far more people than two million." โ
"But I am"
Richard interrupted Sarenwell again: "You are the emperor of the Iron Triangle Empire, and I am the co-leader of the entire Faro, you are responsible for the people of the empire, and I also need to be responsible for the people of the entire Faro, in my eyes, the people of any country are the same, and the people of the Iron Triangle Empire are not superior to the people of other countries." โ
Sarenwell's face changed.
Richard finally said: "You will get the reinforcements you want, but you must also abide by my terms, there are still many places where you can help me in the future, our war with the Reapers, we will eventually win, and Farrow has not yet reached the moment of destruction." โ
Sarenwell sighed and said, "I also believe that we will eventually win, but when we win, Farrow is probably not far from ruining." โ
Richard patted Sarenwell on the shoulder and said, "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we must persevere! โ
As for where the reapers, who destroyed the battlefields of No. 4 and No. 5, both Sarenwell and Richard had a tacit understanding, and no one said anything.
When Richard boarded the messenger and flew back to Battlefield One in the turbulent West, a series of dispatch orders had been issued.
Richard retracted all his troops and withdrew to the second line of defense, and as for those outside the line, they all withdrew to the line of defense, so that after a few years, Richard's troops only needed to hold the two major battlefields of No. 1 and No. 2 to jam the reaper's advance line, and even if a small number of reapers' small troops infiltrated in, the highly mobile strong men could also kill them.
After the dispatch was completed, Faceless suddenly said to Richard, "Do you want to chase those reapers?" โ
"It's just us. Richard's expression was obviously touched by the faceless words.
"It's us, but not you, you have to go back to Norland now honestly to sacrifice and see if you can get something good, you haven't done anything during this time, and our points-for-huร n system can support at most one period. โ
"Is it still necessary to exchange points for huร n? Richard frowned.
"As long as this system is functioning, we will have a steady stream of revenue, which are the military expenses you need to maintain the war, otherwise, you think you can afford to fight this war. โ
Richard had to admit that this was true.
If it weren't for the huge wealth brought by the points system, he would not have finally made up his mind to fight the Reaper to the death, the points system brought Richard not only wealth, but also dozens of legendary powerhouses from the depths of the plane, and hundreds of Sanctuary, all of whom were fighting for Akmund.
"But in my absence, how can you beat the reapers. Richard was worried.
"You can't always be here, we don't have to fight the same way, not to mention that you will definitely be able to beat me now, it is not a trivial matter for me to suppress your three knives with this artifact. Richard was speechless by the faceless continuous rhetorical questioning.
Eventually, Richard handed over all of his followers and the dispatch of the army to Faceless, and the two messengers separated, leaving Richard on his way back to Bluewater Oasis City, while Faceless and the Mountains and Seas headed west.
A moment later, several more messengers rose from the battlefields of No. 2 and No. 3, and legendary powerhouses such as Zonghu, Shuihua, Scarlet, and Iron Shield and Keane who joined later, also flew west to rendezvous with Faceless.
When Richard left, the mountains and the sea remained silent, as if thinking about something.
Faceless changed positions, sat down beside the mountains and seas, and said a little casually: "I have something on my mind." โ
The mountains and the sea finally glanced at Faceless, in her impression, she was not familiar with Faceless, let alone liked this kind of strange character, but the Faceless at this moment made her feel at ease and indescribable.
The mountains and the sea suddenly approached the faceless, and the little nose sniffed hard, and then said, "You have a smell that I like." โ
There was a hint of surprise in Faceless's voice: "You can smell fate. โ
The little faces of the mountains and seas were solemn, and then they slowly burst into a faint smile and said, "I like your smell very much, so I believe in you, yes, I can smell a little bit of fate, this is the ability given to me by the beast god." โ
"Very interesting ability, does it have any limitations. โ
"I can only smell the fate associated with me. โ
Faceless sighed: "It's already incredible, it seems that your existence will make the other descendants of the beast god extinct in this world." โ
The mountains and the sea were a little surprised and asked, "Why?" โ
"The power of fate is ethereal, but it is above the power of a qiฤ, if you have to give an explanation, then it will be the result of the joint action of all the relevant rules, you should also understand by now that it is very difficult to analyze a system of rules, if you want to master the power of fate, it is equivalent to mastering the rules of the whole world, you can smell the smell of fate, which means that you have the ability to influence the vast majority of rules. โ
The mountains and seas were even more surprised, completely unexpected, and the little ability that they didn't feel so powerful in their hearts could have such a big background.
"You are blessed, so, because of your existence, the other descendants of the beast god will be abandoned by the world, and they will encounter all kinds of troubles until they completely disappear from this world. โ
The mountains and seas had no idea that this would be the case, and asked, "Why?" โ
"I don't know, it's just that it often happened in the past, when an ancient bloodline suddenly appeared with an extremely powerful child of destiny, the other descendants of that bloodline would gradually decline. Faceless said.
The mountains and seas thought for a moment and asked, "Have I seen those descendants?" โ
"Not necessarily, it's possible that they are scattered in all corners of the world," said Faceless. โ
The mountains and the sea frowned and thought, but she couldn't think of what the other descendants would be like, she couldn't think of it, so she didn't want to, shook her head vigorously, and threw her troubles to the end of the world.
Faceless looked at this Highness of Carando, and asked tentatively: "You know Richard because of the taste." โ
This sentence reminded the mountains and the sea of the past, and she thought about it, unconsciously showing a smile, and also unconsciously lighting up the world.
"yes, he smells so good, and at that time, out of all the people I met in Norland, he didn't want my money. โ
Next, the girl told about the past, she talked for a long time, and she listened to it for a long time, especially what she said was just what happened in the deep blue, in such a short time, what could happen must be small things, but as long as it was related to Richard, even the tiniest details, the mountains and the sea could remember it clearly.
"I heard that he came to look for you in Calando later. โ
The mountains and the sea were suddenly silent, and after a long time, they whispered, "Yes, now I regret it." โ
Faceless sighed and asked, "Why, didn't he succeed in getting you away from Calando?" โ
The mountains and the sea looked ahead, and their eyes fell somewhere, and said: "At that moment, the established fate was changed, I don't know what it became, but when I gave up the Sage Totem and came to Norland, I suddenly found that I couldn't help him with anything, I had no strength, I no longer had wealth, I couldn't do anything." โ
"So you sleep desperately, because sleeping can awaken the power of the bloodline. โ
The girl exhaled softly and said, "Yes, it's good that I woke up in time. โ
