In three days, Richard went from place to place, quelled seven rebellions in succession, and executed hundreds of people.

At one point, the Royalist army numbered more than 4,000 men, and Richard sent 1,500 troops, which was almost all he had at his disposal. With such a disparity in strength, the battle lost its suspense at the beginning.

Within three minutes, the Constructed Knight had cut through the opponent's line, and after five minutes, the Qinwang army began to disarray and turned into a total rout by the tenth minute.

The essence of the royal family was finally lost after the invasion of Raymond, the Sixth War of the Gods, and Richard's continuous attacks on the royal capital.

After pacifying the situation in the royal capital, Richard convened a meeting of the House of Lords and officially announced the establishment of the Crimson Duchy and appointed himself as the founding Grand Duke. However, Richard did not take this opportunity to break away from the Sequoia Kingdom, but stated that the Crimson Duchy adhered to the permanent alliance with the Duke of Blue Wolf and remained a vassal of the Sequoia Kingdom.

This news did not make people happy in the slightest, because Richard was not a sign of submission, but a desire to continue to legally intervene in the internal affairs of the kingdom in the future. Richard had made it clear that he was not prepared to make the royal family feel better.

The second thing Richard announced in the House of Lords was to reaffirm his status as a pioneer knight, and to update the direction and scope of the expedition. This time, Richard's appetite was significantly greater, and he included the Ancestral Highlands, the Pale Highlands, and the Unstable Lands in the scope of 'exploration'. These places were dangerous areas where humanity had been helpless for many years, but with Richard's glorious history of leveling the bloodstained land for several years, no one dared to say that he could not accomplish such a feat.

Richard then hung up a map of the territory of the Crimson Duchy. In fact, the Crimson Duchy is the majority of the Bloodstained Lands, the knight domain that the previous Duke of Blue Wolf officially gave him, and a few small pieces of territory that were stolen from the Iron Triangle Empire and the Sequoia Kingdom.

Finally, the results of the Church War were announced, except for the northeast region of the kingdom, the Church of the Three Goddesses will completely replace the Church of the God of Courage, and all the parishes that originally belonged to the God of Courage will be assigned to the Church of the Three Goddesses. The religious tax that the people were supposed to pay was also transferred to the church of the Three Goddesses, and the conversion of the lower believers was not compulsory. However, some nobles close to the church heard a malicious murderous voice in the last sentence, because Richard accentuated the tone of the word bottom.

At this point, Richard's position in Faro was completely solidified and he became a powerful party. At this moment, compared to the forces of the Faro plane, Richard can definitely be called a strong army, and the strong are like clouds. But the end of the Sixth War of the Gods was still a relief to the redwood nobles.

According to mainland practice, after a divine war, there will be a fairly long period of calm on the mainland. But what these nobles didn't expect was that Richard was already thinking about the Seventh Divine War.

Richard discovered that Xerxes and Sinai, the natural allies of Inner Security, were not involved in the war.

There could be many reasons behind this. Divine warfare is actually a very complicated matter, no less than the political trade-offs between human kingdoms. Maybe it was because at first they thought that Nei'an alone was enough to deal with the three goddesses. Perhaps it is for the sake of balance, that is, if the advantage of the gods participating in the war is too obvious, and it is expected to get too many benefits, it is very likely that some of the gods of the original neutral camp will change their positions, especially if the priesthood is related or intersecting. But it's more likely that they haven't recovered yet, and that their injuries are much worse than Nei'an's.

If this speculation is confirmed, then Richard doesn't mind dealing a heavy blow to Xerxes and Sinai at such a time.

The Sixth War of the Gods is over, and the side of the three goddesses unexpectedly achieves a total victory.

But Richard doesn't seem to have made much of the spoils of the war. He did not claim war reparations, nor did he make too many territorial claims, nor did he even increase the share of the caravans along the line much, but only took back 10% of the royal system.

Richard demanded and received more rights to religious beliefs, but that had little to do with him. Because almost everyone now knows that in addition to a mage who may be a legendary, there is likely to be a mysterious and extremely powerful god behind Richard.

There are also keen people who see Richard's invisible harvest, that is, the Sequoia Kingdom has almost become Richard's backyard now.

In a series of wars, Richard defeated and eliminated all enemies in his kingdom, destroyed their armies, and more importantly, destroyed the courage of the Redwood nobles to oppose him. For at least ten years, neither the royal family nor the aristocracy, which had been on the opposite side of Richard, would be able to recover and rebuild an army that could threaten Richard.

On the other hand, the economic lifeline of the Sequoia Kingdom is in fact in Richard's hands. All the minerals in the Sequoia Kingdom are available to the dwarves of the Pale Highlands, and the yield is more than ten times that of the Sequoia Kingdom. However, most of the slaves needed by the kingdom had to be imported from the original bloodstained land, and now Richard's Crimson Duchy. Moreover, all caravans in the kingdom that pass through the Crimson Duchy now have to pay a lot of taxes to Richard.

The only thing that was useful to Richard in the Sequoia Kingdom was food and wine. But these two things were the least valuable goods in the bountiful Faro. Even if the Sequoia Kingdom wanted to blockade it, Richard could buy it from the Iron Triangle Empire, or from the Baroque Kingdom. There were also a large number of principalities willing to supply Richard with grain. In Faro, where a farmer can feed a dozen people, food is not a problem at all.

Even so, Richard's gains didn't seem to be enough, and he earned a reputation as 'benevolent' among the mainland's high society.

Richard did not stop in the royal capital, but hurried back to Oasis City. He left Gond and Io in Faro, and left them twenty Constructed Knights, and returned to Norland with all his followers.

In Norland, Richard still has a bunch of chores to deal with, and on the other hand, it's time for him to seriously think about becoming an archmage.

Yes, the Archmagister, an Archmagus who was just twenty years old.

Advancing to the rank of Grand Magister is not a simple matter, and although Richard did not feel his bottleneck, he was not willing to do it hastily.

As the accumulation of mana gradually approached the eighteenth-level boundary, Richard found that his bloodline was gradually resonating with magic. This is a sign that he is about to have a special ability when he is about to rise to the rank of Grand Magister.

However, Richard thought deeply, and his analytical talent found that his different bloodlines and magic powers resonated differently, obviously Akmund's bloodline was the strongest, and Phantom Star was second, followed by the second-order Restoration, and then Nature, Elemental, and Lunar Power. As soon as he noticed this sign, Richard immediately stopped the process of sprinting towards the eighteenth level.

There is no room for sloppiness on the road to advancement, and the first ability obtained when entering the realm of the Great Magus is extremely important, perhaps second only to the legendary ability.

Sometimes an unexpectedly powerful ability can transform an archmagus. For example, the dragon mage Lina, when she was promoted to the rank of Grand Magister, she evolved her ability to summon an ordinary red dragon into the ability to permanently sign a soul contract with an adult red dragon. Then she found the powerful red dragon Caro, and gained Carlo's trust, and since then she has become a real dragon mage, and has also become an extremely powerful archmage, and even has the power to fight on the battlefield.

And the abilities gained when promoted to the rank of archmage are largely regarded as a gift from fate, because no one knows what they will get.

But now Richard doesn't think so, obviously, the archmagister's ability is related to bloodline. What the specific relationship is remains to be further clarified. Although he did not know whether this association could be used to add human influence, since he had made such a discovery, he had to give it a try.

To figure this out, Richard had an ideal place, Deep Blue.

So after Richard returned to Norland, he immediately took three bipedal wyverns, known for their speed, and flew to the deep blue. At present, the ultra-long-range teleportation array from the dark blue to the floating island has not yet been built, but in fact, Richard can also consult with the former teachers through guò magic communication. However, Richard decided to rush to Deep Blue for another reason, because he wanted to see the sleeping legendary mage again.

The Wyvern is fast and has a lot of stamina, and is better than the griffin when it comes to traveling. But they have a fierce temperament, and when they fly, they have a strong body odor. Therefore, it is not liked by the human aristocracy, and most of them are used to transport goods. But at this moment, Richard was in a hurry, and the comfort had already been thrown aside.

It was dusk when Richard set out, and when dawn came, the deep blue was already in sight.

This time was different from the last time, Richard jumped lightly from the back of the two-legged wyvern, moved his body, and looked as usual. The three-headed wyvern crouched on the stone platform, so tired that he kept foaming at the foam, and he didn't even bother to look at the raw meat sent by the black-skinned slave.

"Oh, my little Richard, why are you here all of a sudden!" Black Gold's voice came from afar, and he got the news and rushed from his office as soon as possible.

Now Richard has become the big funder who sponsors Deep Blue Operation the most besides Su Helen. Black Gold originally liked the hard-working and somewhat dull Richard, and now there are too many reasons to like Richard.

In the eyes of the Grey Dwarves, Richard was like a super-primordial mine that had never been seen before.

Richard greeted Black Gold, gave him an unexpected hug, and said with a smile: "There are some things to ask the masters, and besides, I also want to come and see the teacher." ”
