Chapter 162 The Tactics of the Upstart
Although I knew that the time for the Constructed Knights to come out one by one would not last long, the feeling of waiting was so long. When he finally heard the sound of rushing footsteps, the ministers breathed a sigh of relief.
Richard's Constructed Knights already have sixty horses, and they are still going on. ”
This news doesn't sound so shocking anymore.
There was another sound of footsteps, and as expected, seventy knights in costume had appeared.
Then eighty, ninety, one hundred......
The final number is fixed at one hundred and fifty.
At this moment, the minister suddenly understood what Philip meant, Richard was indeed using this way to declare his existence, announcing that he had officially stepped onto the political stage of the Norland continent. He tried to follow a different path from Gordon, but in the same domineering way.
This is the roar of a young dragon to the whole world when it has just come of age!
It was noon when Richard returned to Norland, and Faust was dead silent all afternoon, and then when night fell, it began to boil.
The news centered on Faust and spread in all directions under the cover of night, reaching all corners of the continent in an instant. At this moment, Richard has become the center of attention of the entire continent, and more people have feared, admired, and even wanted to destroy him than ever before. It's just that at this time, Richard is no longer a Saint Killer who can succeed lightly, as for the legendary powerhouses, it is because of His Royal Highness Su Helen that he will not take Richard lightly.
Countless wealthy families held meetings overnight to discuss the adjustment of their strategy towards Akmund. More wise men began to gather all the information about Richard in the first place, in an attempt to unravel the secrets of Richard's magically summoned Constructed Legion. When the morning came, it was already pointed out by wise men that perhaps the secret was in Richard's success rate, and that he must have had a very capable assistant, even a group of assistants.
Some, on the other hand, fell into a complete panic and never slept all night.
However, it was not until the next morning that the army that Sauron and Goliath had placed near the Black Rose Citadel had not withdrawn, but had been reinforced.
When Richard heard the news, he just said lightly: "Akmund is Akmund!"
And Richard's impact on the alliance is still spreading, and in many ways it has had a subtle effect. For example, several pieces of information that he had been trying to check were sent to the floating island by someone with a heart in the early morning of the next day.
Richard sat in his study, somewhat carelessly reading through a few secret letters. At this moment, the study room was crowded with followers, making the originally very spacious study room quite crowded.
Richard quickly scanned the first piece of information and said, "The identity of the killer who assassinated me last time has been found out, and this is his family's information." Well, go and give this information to the Night Dancer, and make a bid for a bounty, with the first five thousand gold coins for each of them. "Night Dancer", one of the two major organizations of the Dark World, has a reputation for hundreds of years, and at the same time has the pride of being the king of the Dark World, serving only the existence of true status.
Oral took the information. This kind of thing is usually handled by him now.
The second piece of information surprised Richard, and he looked at it several times before he looked up at Lina and said, "Lina, it seems that the Earl of Cardiff has taken a fancy not only to your person, but also to your construction. He'd been very close to Luneau during that time, and had heard that Luneau wanted to get your unique build, or at least a design solution, so that he could break through the bottleneck of the fourth order. ”
Lina opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say. Thinking back to the last experience, and the words Cardiff had said to her, all of a sudden I felt unspeakably hypocritical and disgusting.
Richard tore this information to shreds, threw it into the waste paper basket, and said: "This matter is over, that Cardiff still doesn't know where to stay, he almost broke the family last time, and it can be regarded as a enough lesson for him." This kind of person does not need to be killed, and being alive will make him more painful. ”
Richard casually picked up the third and final piece of information, looked at it for a while, wanted to tear it up, thought about it and put it down. He casually handed the list to Oral and told him to put it away and use it again when he had a chance.
This list records the final flow of most of the offerings during the family riot on the floating island. Although it is not listed in this list who originally fell into the hands of the sacrifice, there are indeed some families who do not know who bought the sacrifice.
However, this list is still very useful, at least when Richard announced that it was in hand, according to the rules of the nobility, many families who bought sacrifices had to spit out the sacrifices, or compensate Akmund in disguise. As for their losses, it should be the price of buying the stolen goods. Of course, this rule only works if Akmund is strong enough.
Next, the followers are a little impatient. They had been fighting each other for the past year, but it was rare for them to gather around Richard and fight together. The few people who followed Richard at the beginning often felt that it was more fun to be chased by people when they first arrived in Faro.
Richard sat back on his desk, his gaze swept over the now large number of followers, and smiled, "Can't you wait?"
"Of course!" Gangde was still the most anxious one, and shouted: "It's most comfortable to be with the leader, just cut people, don't think about anything else!"
"Don't rush yet, wait a few more days. We haven't arrived yet! I've ordered a batch of equipment for you, and it will take a day or two to deliver. Two pieces of epic gear per person, fair this time!"
"Boss, how are you going to fight?" Gang De was obviously a little impatient. He's not very interested in equipping anything, except for big axes.
"Do you still need to prepare?" said Richard, touching his beard, which had become as hard as a steel needle, "Let's push it over!"
Gangde's eyes lit up: "Flat push! I like it!"
"I like it too!" a dull voice suddenly came from outside the door, and it sounded echoed.
The door to the study was slammed open, and it was Tiramisu who walked in. The Ogre ** Master was originally more than four meters tall, and he couldn't squeeze into the passage of the castle at all. But the current two-headed ogre is only about 1.8 meters, and it looks quite cute between looking left and right.
However, Richard's eyes immediately widened and he exclaimed, "You used the shrinking technique!"
"yes!" Tiramisu clutched his head, both of his faces dazed, not understanding what was going on.
"Damn!There's only one minute of shrinkage without the supermagic effect!!"
With a bang, the smoke filled in front of everyone's eyes, and there was rubble and ash everywhere, and the ogre's height regained its original size, and the two heads hit the ceiling directly. Obviously, the wood-and-stone castle is nowhere near as hard as the ogre's head. The slab above Tiramisu's head was pierced through the floor, and its three eyes were still staring blankly, wondering why Richard and his companions were suddenly gone.
In the end, Richard was furious, and a shrinking spell with many super-magical effects turned the ogre into a meter in size, like a fat, delicate and cute doll. Then Richard flew up and kicked the ogre out of the window.
However, there has been a catastrophe in the study, and you must know that when everyone changes suddenly, the first reaction is to protect themselves. So all kinds of fighting spirits criss-crossed, and the magic shield was brilliant, but this was simply an irresistible storm for the ordinary furniture in the study!
Eventually, everything that is wood becomes slag, and everything that is paper becomes a butterfly.
"Okay, let's all disperse, rest for a few days, and don't embarrass me when we fight!" Richard blasted out all his followers, leaving them alone in the study.
When everyone was gone, Richard stood in the rubble, looking a little confused.
This is the study that Gordon left behind. He may have been in a hurry, and many things had not been organized. The desk, the chair, the magic sand table, and the maps of each plane are still in use, and it seems that the next moment the master will walk in through the door, and then carry out another battle deduction.
There aren't many books and scrolls on the shelves, but each one is hand-picked by Gordon and placed here to read. The parchment floor, the edges of the pages have been flipped a little hairy, and the rare monster skin surface has become particularly shiny after many strokes, and the text is released, and there are some marks and notes left by Gordon.
Before Richard realized it, many of his habits were actually subconsciously imitating Gordon, and then unconsciously became his own habits. This man, it may be difficult to say where he is strong, but he will always leave an indelible memory.
But now, all the qiē has vanished with the cannibal magician's crappy spell.
Looking at the devastation, Richard was surprisingly calm, without sentimentality or irritation at the ogre, as if it had destroyed only the most ordinary room.
Richard suddenly smiled, shook his head, strode out of the study, and instructed the butler to call someone to repair the place, and the standard was to follow the top wealthy. When the old butler received the order, Richard thought about it again, and asked him to renovate the entire castle, as for the standard, it was four words:
Splendid.
Looking at the stunned expression of the old butler, Richard smiled and said: "This is like a nouveau riche, isn't it? Do as I say, only choose the expensive ones, not the right ones!"
As he walked out of the castle gate, Richard suddenly felt an indescribable sense of relief, it turned out that he no longer needed to rely on those external things to speculate.
He now understands the man very well.
Three days later, when Semir and Asiris hurried back from the plane, they couldn't help but wonder if they were in the wrong place when they saw the family castle that had been turned into a construction site.
The densely packed Constructed Knights and Elite Darkblade Knights in the small barracks made their eyes straighten even more, and this time they really began to doubt their eyes.
Who would have thought that a dignified second-order suit knight would actually have to squeeze four people into a tent? In comparison, the Darkblade Knight with eight people squeezed into one room was not so dazzling.
ps: Was the last chapter cut just as coquettish?
