During the campaign, Richard successively repelled the legendary powerhouses of the Millennium Empire and the Holy Tree Dynasty, and had to dispatch and command the entire army. He had exhausted his mana several times, and had dozens of scars, large and small, added.

Running out of magic power is an extremely painful thing, and it takes a lot of energy and even life force to let the priest heal his injuries, even if he uses a lot of magic potions, it only cures the symptoms. Richard had already overdrawn himself, and after stepping into the war room at this moment, he really relaxed, and as a result, he fell asleep all at once.

The war room suddenly fell silent, followers and generals, you look at me, I look at you, and there was a tacit understanding in silence, so he quietly prepared to leave, allowing Richard to rest for a while.

"All done?" Richard asked suddenly. The unusual silence woke him up.

Richard took a deep breath, barely bred himself up, and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"

One of the generals under Ellie's command asked, "Your Highness Richard, I still don't understand this. The three empires are only massing troops on the borders, they are not really invading our territory, and they are not officially showing hostility. Why should we attack first?"

"For peace. Richard said.

"For peace?" the general looked confused.

Richard smiled and said, "True peace is made by fighting." ”

A few days later, the general was waiting not for the revenge of the three empires, but for the messengers.

The Imperial emissaries had a surprisingly unanimous purpose, all of whom had come to negotiate an armistice. At this time, Richard had already gone to Faro, but he had assigned Ellie Jie and the envoys of the empire to deal with him.

Before leaving, Richard explained the bottom line of the negotiations, and the three empires also came for reconciliation. In the end, the two sides agreed not to ask for compensation from each other, but to share the losses, and at the same time, Richard also returned the land he had seized in the three wars. Of course, the redemption of prisoners of war is operated according to the standards of the civil war, and it is not considered a small amount of money in the negotiation conditions at all.

It seems that Akmund has suffered, but in fact, the three empires are the ones willing to swallow the bitter fruit. After the armistice talks were over, it was logical to come to the link of wooing and forming alliances.

Both the Sacred Tree Dynasty and the Millennial Empire brought more favorable conditions, mainly in terms of resources, with a dizzying catalogue of items and a more enthusiastic and sincere attitude towards the emissaries. They even hinted that as long as Richard did not join the opposing side, then he could get a lot of supplies and conveniences out of thin air.

The expression of the envoys of the two empires amazed many of their followers, as if there had never been a war between the two sides.

Even the envoys of the Holy Alliance couldn't help but hint that as long as Richard was willing to return to the Holy Alliance, then many things could be discussed, and even the uncertain majesty was likely to take a small step.

As a follower of Richard, even Oral, who was in charge of the negotiations, was not surprised by the expressions of the envoys of the three empires. Although the elven poets know some politics, most of them are in the case of noble ladies and ladies, and there is also the founding war of the Faro plane, and the pattern is completely different from the current one. Only then did he understand the meaning of Richard's phrase "peace is made".

The nobles once again experienced the mad family tradition of Akmund in replacing defense with offense, this time with an enhanced version of the legendary powerhouse and massive constructed knights.

The war with Akmund is costly, and it is more likely that there will be no outcome in the short term. It would also mean pushing Richard into the arms of another empire once and for all, and that was an outcome that no empire, including the Holy Alliance, wanted to see.

In contrast, as long as Richard hasn't made a clear choice, it's still an acceptable situation. It would be better if he was willing to let go of some of the resources on the build. In this respect, Richard was very open, still accepting any of the party's orders, including the fulfillment of the Holy Alliance's annual royal offering, as if war had never happened.

In Faro, the situation suddenly calmed down, and Richard's return did not stir up any waves.

In the eyes of the rest of the continent, the ferocious Crimson Principality suddenly became peaceful and tranquil, and stopped a large-scale military movement, as if it had been completely satisfied with gaining access to the sea on the east coast of the continent.

However, dozens of large and small principalities in the vast coastal area were all uneasy, and the intensity of this uneasiness was also due to the extremely strong territorial declaration issued by Li Shilongtu that year.

This is not because of anything else, but the main force of more than 20,000 troops of the Crimson Principality is still there. Although the Duchy's native warriors suffered heavy losses, the Humanoid Knights and Darkblade Knights who had truly fought the coastal kingdoms remained in size, and their numbers increased after receiving a new supply.

Gangde had already told the people in battle that the 20,000-strong army of the Crimson Principality was enough to wipe out all the principalities along the coast, although they still had hundreds of thousands of troops.

The situation in the Iron Triangle Empire also turned calm, with the nobles at least superficially recognizing Sarenwell's dominance, and the decrees of the new emperor were able to be passed throughout the country. All the nobles who opposed Salonwell were either directly destroyed by Richard's army, or the family lord lost his head one night for some reason.

In the eyes of the imperial aristocracy, this is the most naked/naked reign of repression and terror. But this is not the case in the eyes of civilians and other nations.

In the previous war, the Iron Triangle Empire was completely defeated, all the main armies were swept away, and the strong also suffered heavy blows. Such a fiasco, according to Faro's practice, the result was the destruction of the country. But what the Iron Triangle Empire ultimately lost was a vassal dukedom and some inconsequential territories on its borders. Crimson did not recruit slaves or remove people from the Empire.

The new emperor who ascended the throne, Sarenwell, had impeccable royal blood, which allowed the royal family to remain in power. As a result, the losses of the Iron Triangle Empire were incredibly small.

The Valley of the Dragons is prosperous and peaceful.

Most of the Legendary Powerhouses and Heavenly Rank Sanctuaries have already returned from the Dragon Plane, and of course they have come with a lot of gains. The Valley of Dragons has established a well-established supply system, and these powerful and influential people can almost find everything from wine women to equipment construction in this valley.

There are now only forty Knights in the Valley of Dragons, who are responsible for guarding the portal and preventing any blind dragon from suddenly coming out.

Their other mission was to patrol and guard the manor area. This makes the few manors hot, and even the legendary powerhouses are not capable of using the Constructed Knight as a guard.

Of course, no one is stupid enough to cause trouble in the Valley of Dragons these days.

Richard had already spread the word that he had fought that day, and he was able to defeat a legendary mage when he was not a legendary. Now that Richard has officially been promoted to Legend, although it still takes time to stabilize the realm according to the convention, and the level of the Legend rank is also high and low, no one dares to challenge it at will.

Of course, there are reasons for this from Su Helen and Star Sage, but Richard's own strength and status are even more crucial. Now, the legendary powerhouses have come to see Richard as one of them, entitled to be on an equal footing with them and respected for themselves.

So Richard's return, in the world of the strong, is a big deal.

As Richard stepped out of the portal in the Valley of Dragons, the intense sunlight made his eyes narrow. He looked up at the sky, and there was an endless blue, too far as to see the end. A round of red sun hung high in the sky, splashing heat.

Richard smiled slightly, as if talking to himself, "Rare good weather!"

"Indeed! An unfamiliar voice sounded next to him. "My name is Airo. ”

Richard turned his head to look and saw a strange celestial sanctuary, apparently preparing to leave the Valley of the Dragons through the guò portal. This is an extremely handsome and handsome young man, and he is also a talented kind of person.

The young strong man has a chilling murderous aura and undisguised self-confidence and arrogance. Obviously, his confidence comes not only from his strength, but also from his results. This is by no means a showmanship with no power but no combat power. In fact, in the Peerless Battlefield, Airo's fame is not much smaller than that of White Night.

"How's the catch?" said Richard with a smile and a nod.

"Very generous and beyond imagination. ”

"That's good, cherish the opportunity. ”

"I will, Your Highness. I'll be back as soon as I hand over the loot to the clan this time. ”

Richard nodded, and headed deeper into the valley. It wasn't until Richard's back disappeared that Airo suddenly realized that he had been half-bowing and talking to Richard. This is a very respectful attitude, and it is often only done by younger generations when they are dealing with their elders. And Airo unknowingly used this gesture!

He looked at Richard's back, his eyes filled with deep fear.

Richard returned to his lodgings, casually set aside the moonlight and the ruling, and threw himself into the couch.

"Coming back?" Faceless asked casually as he appeared at the door.

Richard just mumbled, his elbows resting on his knees, his hands resting on his chin, pondering something.

Faceless smiled lightly and asked, "What, what's on your mind?"

"Yes, lost. ”

"Badly losing?" Faceless seemed interested.

"Defeated. ”

Faceless became even more interested, walked up to Richard, squatted down, looked at Richard's face through the mask, looked at it playfully for a long time, and said, "Defeated? It's kind of interesting! Why do I think that there is no one else who can flatten you at will except me? Say, who is it?"

Richard took a deep breath, actually smiled, and said, "It's uncertain." ”

"Undetermined, is it her?" Faceless seemed to be taken aback, then the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and his voice floated a line higher: "You actually went to challenge the super strong? What should I say about you, are you stupid or crazy? Defeated? It's already good that you didn't die in her hands on the spot! What do you think is a super strong, it's as simple as being seven or eight levels higher than you? And you've only been a legend for a few days, do you have a half-plane? Have the rules improved? Have you stabilized your magic power? Do you know how to use your legendary ability?"
