When Richard returned to Haddon Castle, he did not alert anyone else.
Richard went to Vicksburg last night and happened to not receive a combat mission today.
This time he went to Vicksburg, and outsiders did not know about it yet.
The reason why Richard took the lead and obtained the information about Baron Stoppa's family was because of his position.
After defeating Walder's brigade, Vicksburg was deserted.
In fact, only a few officers such as Richard, Diarra, Owen, and Ron could seize this opportunity.
Richard's brain was the fastest and he immediately took action that night to obtain the inheritance of the Baron family.
After a day of rest, Richard received the battle report.
Baron Harden, Lieutenant Colonel Marvin and Captain Sharp defeated the Silver Moon Wolf Cavalry Brigade, and Gunderson could only escape into the Eagle Mountains with the remaining defeated soldiers.
The battle at the Platos Mountains defense line finally ended early.
After the battle at the Platos Defense Line, Baron Harden and Lieutenant Colonel Marvin reunited and went to Flame Castle for reinforcements. The 8th Brigade stayed and rested in Harden Castle and was responsible for the defense in this direction.
After two consecutive months of fighting, the Eighth Battalion suffered heavy losses. The strongest force now is the Sixth Squadron commanded by Diarra and the temporary squadron commanded by Richard.
After Captain Sharp arrived at Haddon Castle, he brought new appointments.
Richard was transferred to the position of captain of the 7th Squadron, and his eldest brother Ron took over the position of deputy squadron commander of the 6th Squadron.
The 7th Squadron is a newly formed squadron. It originally did not have enough soldiers. Most of the soldiers were killed or injured in the battle. The former squadron leader was also killed in the subsequent battle.
There are currently only more than 20 soldiers in the 7th Squadron.
However, these more than 20 soldiers participated in the city defense battle for more than two months. Although their physical fitness is not good enough, mentally they are already veterans who have participated in hard battles.
The temporary squadron commanded by Richard is composed of recovered wounded soldiers, mainly soldiers from the 8th Battalion, and there are also some wounded soldiers from the Legion Reconnaissance Brigade.
The temporary squadron is now the most complete. Captain Sharp only gave Richard thirty soldiers and asked him to take him to the 7th Squadron.
This time, Hayden still followed Richard and was transferred to the 7th Squadron. With Richard's care, although Hayden was not strong, he was not in the key direction of the battle every time.
When encountering tough battles, Richard always went into battle personally, leaving Hayden to stay behind. After several months of fighting, Hayden remained intact during the battle.
Seriously short of soldiers, Captain Sharp recruited hundreds of recruits from refugees to supplement the battle losses of the Eighth Battalion.
Richard took the soldiers to the 7th Squadron and found that the 7th Squadron was in pretty good condition. There were more than fifty veterans in total, and its combat effectiveness was estimated to be second only to the 6th Squadron. All the previous main squadrons were crippled this time.
, 70 to 80 percent are new recruits.
If the Eighth Battalion wants to regain its combat effectiveness, it is estimated that it will take two to three years of training.
In the following battle, the Eighth Battalion could only undertake second- and third-line tasks. The legion headquarters did not transfer them to the main battlefield, but stayed in the direction of Pratos to rest.
Now that the seventh and sixth squadrons have the strongest combat effectiveness, Captain Sharp ordered these two squadrons to station in the Platos Fortress Group.
The remaining main force is stationed in Haddon Castle, seizing the time to train and restore combat effectiveness.
With the books found in Baron Stopa's castle, Richard and the 7th Squadron once again stationed themselves in Castle No. 3.
Castle No. 3 changed hands several times, a lot of the city's fortifications were damaged, and part of the city wall collapsed.
After entering the castle, Richard organized training and repaired the city defenses. More than a month passed quickly, and it was August.
In the past month, rewards from the legion headquarters have also been distributed.
Ordinary soldiers received double military pay, and officers at the squadron level also received a bounty of twenty gold coins.
The most important thing is the military exploits. The canyon ambush commanded by Diarra and Richard completely wiped out three squadrons of the Wald Brigade, which played a key role in the victory of the Pratos defense line.
For victory in this battle, the two squadron leaders will each be awarded three medium merits.
In addition, Captain Diarra reinforced Platos Castle and cooperated in defeating the orc commander-in-chief Gunderson, and was awarded a medium merit. Richard led 20 cavalry to defeat half a squadron of orcs, and was awarded a medium merit.
Richard cooperated with the soldier Dida to kill the fifth-level lion-headed man Walder, and rewarded Richard with two medium merits and Dida with one medium merit.
Counting the fact that Richard killed the orc professional, he accumulated six medium skills and three small skills in this battle.
After fighting the entire war this year, Richard has already accumulated one major achievement and three minor achievements.
After Ron became a professional, he made two small contributions in subsequent battles, but Hayden still made no achievements.
We are still at war and many areas cannot communicate.
Richard didn't even know about his father William's situation.
Whether it is safe can only be determined through rough intelligence analysis.
According to the battle reports coming now, the main castles such as Black River Fort, Flame Fort, and Flying Eagle Fort were not lost.
However, the fortresses at the southern foot of the Eagle Mountains suffered heavy losses. Some of these fortresses were noble territories, and others were castles directly under the kingdom, where the main force of the Northern Army was stationed.
The second brother, Barron, is in the Grizzly Bear Legion. The Grizzly Bear Legion is stationed far away from the Mad Lion Legion, and Richard is even less familiar with the situation there.
Barron's position was relatively low and his strength was not very strong. In such a cruel war, the losses of junior officers were particularly heavy.
After the war started, Richard did not receive any letters from his family. He did not know whether his father William, third uncle Bernie, and second brother Barron had made any military exploits.
William has already accumulated a lot of military exploits. If he gains something this year, the combined merits of his family will be enough to become a hereditary noble.
Living in the Kingdom of Grant, there is no noble title and everyone is inferior to others.
In the past month or so, Richard has been leading soldiers to train and handle military affairs in the morning, leading soldiers to repair city walls in the afternoon, and reading magic books in the evening.
This magic book is called "Charlotte Explains Thirteen Common Spells". In addition to recording complete meditation methods, it also records thirteen commonly used spells.
From the preface of the book, Richard knows that Charlotte is a local magician.
Active before the establishment of Grant Kingdom, around 2000 in the Dawn Calendar.
It has been more than 1,200 years now.
Charlotte is a leader of the magical organization the Highland Wizards Guild.
The meditation methods recorded in this magic book are very advanced and complete. This set of meditation methods is called the Highland Meditation Method. There are twelve articles in total, which are enough to become a nine-ring magician.
But the number of spells is relatively small, only thirteen. Nine of them are low-level magic, the other three are four-ring magic, and one is five-ring magic.
For a magician, the more magic he masters and can adapt to complex environments, the stronger his combat effectiveness will be.
Thirteen kinds of magic are far from enough for magicians.
Because of the busy military affairs, I mainly focused on reading magic books, which even affected the practice of breathing techniques. There was not much progress in various skills, which was reflected in the experience value, which did not increase much for more than a month.
