Crimson was silent for a while, the light in her eyes flickering, and only after a moment did she say, "It's because of the battle." ”

Crimson uses a complex script, belonging to the same language family as the brood, but not the same system as Norland's known gods. Because of the brood, Richard was able to understand what it was saying, rather than relying solely on the exchange of consciousness.

This is also another small detail that Richard feels strange, the humanoid combat unit is not human after all, in fact, language is very unnecessary, especially when there are only two people, Richard and Scarlet, who can completely exchange consciousness. But Crimson seems to be more like a human, and every time Richard talks to it, whether it is speaking or making conscious contact, Crimson usually responds in words.

But Scarlet's answer this time obviously did not satisfy Richard.

"Be more specific. ”

“...... In battle, the souls of the enemies I kill will be extracted by me and converted into power for me to use, so that my combat power can be increased. Scarlet finally made it clear this time.

"Where did this ability come from?"

"I had it when I was created when it came out, and it should be the ability to extract from the original template. ”

Richard nodded, and now the problem was cleared. It seems that Crimson has inherited a lot of Sinclair's abilities during his lifetime, and has even enhanced them in some ways. After all, it was a special unit that consumed three full divinities to create. Richard didn't have a specific idea of how many of the three divinities were, but they were no worse than the ancestral spirits sacrificed by a large tribe of orcs.

However, looking at the evolutionary trend of Crimson, it should be to gradually abandon the enhancement of defense, and focus on increasing speed and lethality. Richard thought about it for a while, not intending to interfere with its natural evolutionary direction, but decided to tailor a set of light armor for it, which is equally important for defense on the battlefield, and heavy offense and light defense only work when fighting in small teams. Basic defense can sometimes be a lifesaver, as evidenced by Sinclair's downfall.

After letting Crimson leave, Richard thought of the splash again. This wild and cold girl also neglected defense, so much so that she was reluctant to wear leather armor, relying only on the construction to provide a little defense, and it could not protect against the blows of the truly powerful. So Richard also decided to order a set of leather armor for the girl, and he could no longer let her fight according to her own character.

With more than two hundred wooden stakes erected, the corpses of the 'bandits' hanging from the wooden stakes quickly became a hot topic in Barony Fontaine's domain. A few days later, the news was like wings, flying across the Sequoia Kingdom. So Richard and his territory, which can be described as poor mountains and bad waters, once again entered the field of vision of the high-level of the kingdom.

At countless afternoon tea parties, dinners, and card tables, Richard became a topic of discussion. Because the surname Akmund had never been heard of, and his official pedigree had been passed down for four generations in the noble heraldry, Richard was unfortunately classified as an upstart and labeled 'indifferent'.

However, the nobles did not consider Richard to be cruel, and what he did was one of the common methods used by the nobles to deal with the bandits. Historically, there have been cases where aristocrats chop up whole bandits and boil them and feed them to dogs. So what Richard did was only up to the standard of indifference.

Richard's status as a great magician is also one of the topics of curiosity. Such a young archmage is rare in the history of Faro, so many nobles tend to have at least one archmage behind Richard, and it is close to the legendary rank. This magister is unknown, and it is likely that he is a strong man who lives in seclusion in the dark world.

The so-called dark world is a place where human footprints have never been or rarely set foot. For example, in the southwest of the bloodstained land, the ancestral highlands inhabited by barbarians. and the White Plateau northwest of the Bloodstained Lands, the land of orcs, mountain people, and dwarves.

The impact of this incident on Richard's territory was minimal, because his territory was originally a poor country with few villages at all. And in the eyes of those who have a heart in the Sequoia Kingdom, this is definitely a big deal.

In the secret room of the castle at dusk, a middle-aged nobleman with a stern demeanor smashed the precious fine porcelain teacup in his hand and roared angrily at the uncle of the little Baron Fontaine in front of him: "This is your good idea! Didn't you say that even if Richard knew that we did it, he wouldn't dare to do it? Now, the two squadrons of Eagle Banner knights have been killed cleanly, stripped naked, and hung in the wilderness to show the public! You say, how will it end now?"

"My lord, Richard dared to kill the Eagle Banner Knights and hang their corpses, this is definitely an insult! Lord Duke should launch a large army and indirectly destroy his little ......"

There was a crisp snap, and before the little baron uncle could finish speaking, he received a loud slap in the face! The slap was so heavy that he flew upside down and fell to the cart behind him where the black tea and tea sets were placed.

The middle-aged nobleman only had the strength of the eighth level, but he slapped the eleventh level of the little baron uncle. The little baron's uncle only had the title of knight, and in the face of a middle-aged nobleman with royal blood and a field earl, he didn't dare to resist or dodge, so he could only receive this slap.

The middle-aged nobleman named Latour is the nephew of the current king, and his territory is rich in specialties and his private army is strong. Even if he doesn't rely on royal blood, he is a powerful man who can't be offended lightly. Of course, he was not here just for the sake of the Baroness' family or for the sake of Viscount Chim's face. However, the incompetence of the baronial family still made the Count of Latour, who did not have much expectation of their IQ, angry.

"Fools! Richard killed them as carjackers, ruined their faces, and tore off all the secret marks on the linen lining, making it impossible to identify them. He had written to the barony to make a complaint about the robbery of several goods, and you had not claimed that there was a group of bandits in the territory, and now they had suppressed them! What can we say!" Latour rebuked angrily.

"Yes, Lord Latour, I didn't think it through. The little baron's uncle got up and whispered, refusing to wipe the blood from the corners of his mouth.

Count Latour snorted heavily, looked at him with disdain, and said coldly: "Do you think this matter is so easy to deal with? More than two hundred knights of the Eagle Banner! How do you make us explain to their families, what do you say? And now there are not even a few relics, let alone how many pensions will be left! If it weren't for your stupidity, how could they all be wiped out!"

"Didn't you strongly support this plan in the first place?" Of course, Uncle Little Baron didn't dare to really say this, so he could only roar in his heart.

Blocking the goods to Richard's domain, angering Richard, and waiting for Richard's counterattack was the plan Latour had with Uncle Baroness after Chim's defeat.
