Richard sneered secretly, after seeing the power of the three kings of the empire, he already had a rating in his heart on the strength of the legendary powerhouse of Faro. The three kings of the Iron Triangle Empire were all leader-level figures among the legendary powerhouses of the entire Faro back then, and they had explored the planes for hundreds of years, and their strength and knowledge were by no means comparable to ordinary Faro powerhouses. No matter who is hiding in the Principality of the Bead Chain, since they have not left Faro for a long time, no matter how powerful they are, their power is limited.

Although Richard has not yet reached the realm of a legendary mage, he has a set of ashes and the king of metal in his body, and the moonlight in his hand has reached the artifact level after completely absorbing the essence of the iron spear. Coupled with the incomparably rich combat experience of the Peerless Battlefield for several years, even if there are no war fanatics in the body at this time, there is no fear of ordinary legendary powerhouses.

In terms of controlling the rules alone, this storage zài hiding in the Principality of the Bead Chain is probably not as good as Richard. The only thing Richard suffered was that he had not reached the legendary realm, and he had just suffered some losses in the total amount of magic power. But once the fight starts, Richard, who has the well of stars, may not even suffer in magic.

Richard drove the Split Brain and flew at full speed to Neverwinter, then swooped down from the sky, and when it was 100 meters above the ground, Richard jumped off the Split Brain, and the Split Brain drew an arc, pulled up again, and flew away.

The whistling of the split-brain dive alarmed half of Neverwinter, and many people in the city saw the amazing sight of Richard descending from the sky.

Richard's slowdown slowed down sharply, slowly falling on the square in front of the main entrance of the Grand Duke's Mansion, hovering dozens of meters above the ground, just at the height of the bell tower of the Grand Duke's Mansion.

His voice then resounded through most of Neverwinter with the power of magic: "I am Richard Akmund, the Crimson Grand Duke. What about Sabaru, didn't he send me an invitation to come over, why didn't he come out to see me?"

Richard's voice rumbled like thunder, and the sound waves smashed to the ground so overwhelmingly that even the guards around the square were unsteady.

The next moment, the rapid alarm bell rang violently, and the heavily armed warriors poured into the walls of the archival tower of the Grand Duke's Palace, pointing sharp arrows at Richard, but no one dared to loosen the strings.

A powerhouse that can hover in mid-air, at least at the level of a Zhenguo powerhouse. In front of such a strong man, no matter how many of them are ordinary soldiers, it is meaningless. Moreover, Richard's self-reported name also caused a sensation.

The Crimson Grand Duke is now the most resounding name in the entire Farosi Continent, and the man who destroyed the Iron Triangle Empire like a withering and decaying empire is destined to go down in the annals of Faro.

At the beginning of the Great War, not many people were optimistic about the Crimson Duchy, especially those who knew the history of the three kings of the Iron Triangle Empire. To uproot such a thousand-year-old behemoth as the empire, it is not enough to have an advantage in the force of the legion, but in the end, it is still necessary to compete with the accumulation and heritage of both sides.

But no one would have imagined that the huge empire would be so vulnerable in front of Richard's army, and the defense of the fortified city, known as the most magnificent in the Western Continent, would be destroyed like ice and snow. And the three kings of the empire, except for the son of Jin, Gao De Ori, fell outside the imperial capital, but the other two kings were silent.

At this moment, no matter whether Richard's identity is true or not, no one dares to act rashly.

Richard shouted a word, and waited patiently, and in his hands behind him, a small flame was beating. This flame is a reduced version of the nuclear fusion explosion, and its power is roughly equivalent to that of level 8 magic, and it is more than enough to knock down the gate of a grand duke's mansion. And Richard's patience is also limited now, he is ready to wait five minutes, and when the five minutes are up, the flames will accumulate full power and turn into bursting fireballs.

About the fourth minute, the main entrance of the Grand Duke's Mansion suddenly opened, and out of it came a tall and powerful middle-aged man, who was not wearing armor, but wearing a gorgeous and delicate aristocratic long dress, as if he was about to rush to an important banquet.

The middle-aged man stood still on the steps, stretched out his arms to Richard, made a welcoming gesture, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Venerable Crimson Grand Duke! I didn't expect you to come so quickly, you see, this made me not even have time to prepare for the reception! Please go to my Grand Duke's Mansion!"

Richard pursed his lips slightly, revealing a sarcastic expression, raised his hand and pointed to the upper right, and the long-accumulated flame shot into the sky, flying straight out of nearly a thousand meters, and disappeared into the clouds. Suddenly, the clouds were dyed a large fiery red, as if they were rolling and burning.

Seeing the range of the fireball and the power after the explosion, the smile on Sabaru's face suddenly stiffened, and then returned to normal, and said with a smile: "Your Highness's prestige has already spread all over the continent, and we all know and admire it very well, in fact, there is no need to remind us like this." Come with me, my well-trained cooks will be able to prepare a sumptuous feast for you in just one hour. Believe me, the bead chain has some of the most exquisite cuisine in the entire Western Continent and will definitely please you. ”

Richard landed indifferently and walked towards the Grand Duke's Mansion with Sabaru. As for Sabaru taking his explosive fireball as a demonstration, Richard didn't bother to explain it, so he thought like this. When he was in the Imperial Capital of the Cold Iron Throne, the nuclear melt explosion that knocked half of the palace city was a demonstration.

The climate of Neverwinter is quite strange, the seasons are like spring, the grass does not wither yellow, and the trees are just as green, which is very different from the rest of the Northland.

The Grand Duke's Mansion occupies an extremely large area, and in terms of construction area alone, it is almost comparable to the above-ground part of the God's Palace.

As soon as I entered the Grand Duke's Mansion, I felt that a warm and humid wind was blowing in my face, which was a little more comfortable than the outside, and it was obvious that a magic array that could adjust the climate had been added to the mansion. It would cost a lot of money to cover the effect of the magic array in a grand duke mansion of this size. Even in Norland, this is an extravagant act, so in Faro, it is already beyond the realm of extravagance, and has the flavor of showing strength.

Sabaru had a well-disguised pride and arrogance on his face. Unbeknownst to him, however, that even in Norland's Holy League, the nouveau riche nation, Richard was seen as the epitome of the nouveau riche. He could be extravagant enough to use a sacrifice to jump to a floating island, and naturally he wouldn't take Sabaru's tricks seriously.

The Grand Duke's Mansion covers a deep and vast area, and Sabaru walked steadily with Richard for a quarter of an hour before entering the main hall of the Grand Duke's Mansion.

Sabaru instructed the butler who had hurried over to prepare a luncheon, and then led Richard into a historic parlor.

Like most of the nobles of the Iron Triangle Empire, there were a large number of oil paintings hanging in the living room, most of which were some glorious deeds of the ancestors of the family. On an inconspicuous oil painting in the corner, several heroes are fighting a giant monster.

However, as Richard's gaze swept over the living room, he first lingered on this painting for a moment, and then casually looked at the other paintings. This inconspicuous oil painting caught Richard's attention because, from the background of the picture, the battlefield took place on a half-plane, not Faro.

According to the Faro tradition, family paintings are generally very realistic, with little use of legends or imaginary backgrounds.

After the two of them sat down, Sabaru waved his hand for the waiter to leave, then leaned forward, looked at Richard, and said, "I really didn't expect that the Crimson Grand Duke, who shocked the entire Faro Continent, was so young. The number jù on the information is never as shocking as it was when I saw it with my own eyes. ”

Judging from his attitude at this time, although Sabaru's words are quite humble, he has put himself on an equal footing with Richard. Richard knew this, but he didn't say anything, waiting for Sabaru to open his hole cards.

Seeing that Richard didn't react, Sabaru smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Your Highness is really not an ordinary person, so calm. So this time I invited Your Highness to my territory, mainly to let you see with your own eyes what the Principality of the Bead Chain looks like. If you can get some of your thoughts, then we'll be able to talk about the rest of the matter. ”

Richard smiled faintly and said, "Obviously, the gods have deliberately ignored this. ”

Sabaru immediately laughed reservedly, straightened his back, and said, "Your Highness has indeed seen people! Now that you have seen this, you must know that the reasons behind it are none other than that. What it is, but it doesn't need to be detailed. Now, I feel like we can talk about it openly. ”

"Say it. ”

Sabaru rubbed his hands together and said, "First of all, I would like to express my kindness with my sincerest wishes. I can continue to honor the new empire as my suzerain, of course, as always, but only in name. In addition, I unreservedly endorse the accession of His Highness Sarenwell to the throne, and pledge in my realm that no nobles who oppose the new emperor will be allowed to move. In short, I'm willing to be on Sarenwell's side, willing to be on your side. I can also offer you a lot of special things. ”

"And what do you want?" asked Richard.

Sabaru smiled, and there was greed in his eyes that could not be concealed, and said, "It has been a long time since the Principality of the Bead Chain has expanded its territory, and the current land is no longer able to feed its own people. So I want to get a small piece of new territory, a very small piece, the Ruhr, which is ideal. ”

Although Richard had been prepared, he couldn't help but sneer at this moment: "Your appetite is really not small!"

The Ruhr is the most famous mining area in the northern region of the Iron Triangle Empire, and one of the highest quality iron ore veins is buried under the Iron Throne, and the other is located in the Ruhr. The veins here are not only of high quality and high yield, but also have many associated rare minerals.

The Rhine, one of the three major rivers of the empire, also passed through this area, solving important transportation problems. In the past, one-third of the fixed revenue of the entire Iron Triangle Empire came from the Ruhr region.

After listening to Richard's ridicule, Sabaru was not ashamed, but smiled: "Appetite should be proportional to strength, isn't it? Your Highness, don't worry, I haven't finished yet!"
