This is the first time that a family has made a declaration to enter Faust since Gordon entered Faust with an unparalleled strength. The first to bear the brunt were Schumpeter and Mensa, but Duke Mensa should have been furious, but this time he suddenly fell silent, but the movement of troops within the territory was unusually frequent.

Duke Schumpeter was furious, and his roar continued to be heard from the floating island. The Schumpeter army, too, was mobilized, but they had not yet recovered their strength, and it was clear that they were powerless to stop the Anan family's strong advance.

Duke Schumpeter continued to issue various orders, but a small number of them were not effectively carried out, and some were even put on hold. Now the family has a lot of complaints about the duke. Especially when it was revealed that Duke Schumpeter was going to marry Luoqi, so that Mensa could annex Schumpeter, the doubts about the Duke became louder and louder at the family elders' meeting.

According to unwritten convention, the wealthy families of the seventh-layer floating islands must send troops to prevent the new family from entering Faust. The sixth tier and beyond, on the other hand, should sit on the sidelines or participate in accordance with their own interests and preferences, which in the past meant giving material support and expressing tendentious opinions at regular sessions of the House of Lords.

In Richard's understanding, however, the scope of this appropriate engagement is clearly broad. Therefore, not long after the Anan family completed its mobilization, a full fifty constructed knights and a hundred elite dark-bladed knights set out from the Black Rose Castle and joined the Anan family's marching sequence.

As soon as this news came out, Faust was in an uproar, and doubts arose.

In this way, the elite combat power of the Anan family is almost doubled, and who wants to take out so many constructed knights and the Anan family, especially Richard, to fight to the death? Especially when there are so many Richard's constructed knights.

In the face of the doubts of the wealthy families, Richard's representatives on the floating island issued an extremely strong declaration in the House of Nobles, saying that Richard would only give up supporting the Anan family if the two families of Mensa and Joseph gave up their intervention, which refers to the direct and indirect actions of the Qiē. Otherwise, Akmund would not hesitate to fight.

Joseph is okay, they didn't intend to intervene on a large scale in the first place, because it didn't do them any good. But Mensa couldn't sit still, the family's army had been mobilized, and Duke Mensa even openly said that he would die to protect the Schumpeter family. For the sake of aristocratic fame and honor, Mensa could not be flinched at this moment. So the Duke of Mensa made an impassioned speech in the House of Lords, re-emphasizing his position and saying that he would mobilize the entire army.

If someone wants war, give him war!

In the face of Duke Mensa's strength, the envoy left behind by Richard only laughed a few times in public and left the House of Lords.

On this day, the plane portal to Norland from Farrow was built at the Black Rose Castle, and the construction of the plane portal to the Green Forest began.

Also on this day, the one-year protection period signed between the Eternal Dragon Temple and Akmund officially expired, and the Dragon Temple Knights began to evacuate the floating islands of Akmund. For a while, the guard force on the floating island seemed extremely empty, except for Fasqi, there were only a few dozen foot knights, and what they could rely on was the defensive magic and various defense facilities of the six-layer floating island.

However, Richard has no plans to add more guards, and may take Fasqi away in the future. The floating island is a symbol, and its own value lies in the qualification for sacrifice. Its safety depended not on the number of garrisons on the island, but on Richard's overall strength.

If Gordon and the Thirteen Knights were still there, even if there were only a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled people on the floating island, no one would dare to attack the floating island. Similarly, as long as Richard's constructed knights are not damaged, no one will be bored enough to capture his floating islands.

And except for the crazy Akmund, no wealthy family will use the method of consuming a top-level sacrifice to jump the ranking of floating islands, so that the edge facilities of other families' floating islands will be damaged, and there may not be any in the future.

In the ensuing time, the situation changed dizzyingly.

The Anan family finally began to march into Faust, and in a series of battles, they showed their formidable fighting power and formidable will to fight, leaving bloodstained footprints on almost every step they took. However, Richard Constructed Knights and Darkblade Knights are not seen in the Anan army.

While people were speculating, Richard walked out of the plane portal of the Black Rose Castle, followed by a dozen Constructed Knights and hundreds of Darkblade Knights. Although these knights are not elites, they have all reached the thirteenth level, and they are the latest creations of the ninth-order brood.

Eventually, at the Black Rose Castle, Richard assembled a super-elite cavalry force of more than 2,000 men. There were nearly a thousand people in it, who were subordinate to Elijie's cavalry unit, and they were also borrowed by Richard.

On the one hand, although the level of Ellie's troops is not as good as Richard's knights, they have a high military literacy after a long period of war. On the other hand, Richard also wanted to use this battle to deter the veterans who had followed Ellie the longest time, and let them see if he, the self-proclaimed king of Akmund, had enough strength to lead the family name.

In the early morning of this day, two thousand iron horsemen rushed out of the Black Rose Castle and rushed directly to the territory of the Mensa family!

In the next few days, Richard led this iron cavalry out of nowhere, and the front of the army was unpredictable, which fully gave people a taste of his style of using troops.

Norland is not Faro, and Richard will not have a one-way view on a vast battlefield. Elite bats could indeed provide him with an unmatched advantage, but the reconnaissance of the Mensa Family's Sanctuary powerhouses was just as difficult to stop.

At this time, the situation has developed into a war between the two giants of the Alliance, and the priests of Eternity and Time Dragon will not openly participate, and this time Quicksand and her Chosen Guardians did not accompany them.

But when Richard and Mensah really started fighting, people saw his really shocking side on the battlefield!

As soon as they entered the fray, Richard's troops were transformed into an incomparably sophisticated machine, mercilessly harvesting the lives of their enemies. Richard's orders seemed to be transmitted to every knight at the first time, and the result of such command was to make the duel in which Mensa had the advantage of the army and was still on his own main battlefield into a rout for Mensa, and with the same military strength, Richard could often completely defeat Mensa in a few back and forth attacks.

Nine battles in four days, Richard won every battle.

Mensa's casualty toll is increasing at an alarming rate, and Richard's constructed knights are falling on horseback. The two sides seem to have different strategies, the Mensa family has always hidden the core of the family's constructed knights, and Richard doesn't seem to care about the casualties of the constructed knights, only to defeat the opponent as quickly as possible, and maximize Mensah's blood loss.

In the vast expanse, Richard came and went, fighting against the tens of thousands of troops of the Mensa family. As long as Mensa dared to divide his troops below 10,000, Richard would wave his army without hesitation and defeat his opponent in one battle. If Mensa gathers too many troops, Richard ignores them, and instead uses the superior mobility of cavalry to wreak havoc in Mensa's territory.

The Duke of Mensa had the idea of gathering troops and attacking the Black Rose Castle, but he was dissuaded. The Black Rose Castle is now connected to Richard's private plane, and who knows how many troops are hidden in it? Even with the 5,000 soldiers currently stationed in the castle, it is not something that tens of thousands of people will be able to capture in a moment and a half.

Moreover, if you directly attack the traditional territory and family symbols of Akmund, the war will not expand further from the combined forces of Richard and Ellie. The group of crazy people who will have a civil war after becoming a wealthy family on the floating island will only be even more crazy for outsiders, and the native lords who look far away on the peninsula, and even Goliath, who is a little farther away, have the possibility of participating in the war, and it is difficult to say whether they will be able to quickly enter Yashan City at that time.

During this period, Richard was allowed to operate in Mensa's territory, and it is estimated that the Black Rose Castle was laid, and the countless rich territories of the Mensa family were also scorched. No matter how you look at it, the gains outweigh the losses.

So the war continued, and four major battles broke out in five days, and Richard was still invincible.

In these four battles, Richard lost nearly 100 cavalry, including more than a dozen knights, while Mensa lost thousands of his most elite warriors and more than 10,000 wounded, and all the experienced generals in the family were defeated at the hands of Richard.

At this point, the Mensa family's army has lost more than 10,000 casualties, all of which are the most core and most combat-effective troops, and there are more than 10,000 soldiers who can no longer go to the battlefield even if they recover from their injuries. Mensa's Constructed Knights were still unscathed, while Richard's Constructed Knights had lost more than thirty horses.

However, Mensah still didn't dare to fight Richard with his Constructed Knights. Richard's remaining number of Constructed Knights and Darkblade Knights can still swallow the Mensa family's Constructed Knights in one gulp. And Richard has made it clear that he is not afraid of losing the attitude of the Constructed Knight, but Mensah can't do it.

Mensa suddenly found that if they continued to fight like this, all the elite troops in the family would be exhausted, and at that time, the combat effectiveness of the Knights with a bunch of second-tier troops would also be greatly reduced.

Only then did they realize that Richard was bleeding Mensa at the expense of elite and constructed knights, and under Richard's incomparable battlefield command, the battle loss ratio between the two sides reached an astonishing number, and the rate of blood loss was so severe that Mensa couldn't afford it at all. From the very beginning, Richard's eyes were not on Mensa's Constructed Knights, but only on destroying their living force.

After a depressing council of elders, the representatives of the Mensa family finally announced in the House of Lords that the Mensa family would withdraw from the war and would no longer interfere with the Anan family's march into Faust. As soon as these words came out, Faust shook again.

This de facto family war between Mensa and Akmund, later known as the 'Eight-Day War', was the first battle in which Richard formally asserted his power in the Holy Alliance.

Since then, Akmund has produced another famous player after Gordon and Ellie. And Richard has an irreproducible art of battlefield command, and his momentum is even more faint above Ellie.
