The two hundred and thirteenth chapter is bound to win
"Are you okay?"
In the wounded barracks, Richard used his hands to slightly support Elena, who was obviously too exhausted and weak. Although Elena's magic power supply relied on magic crystals, using magic not only consumes magic power, but also consumes the spirit.
, fortunately Elena's mental attributes are not low, so she was able to endure it.
The magic power contained in a magic crystal was naturally not enough to treat this battalion of wounded soldiers. Elena could only control the use to try to save the lives of some seriously wounded soldiers.
But even at this level, the doctors and soldiers in these wounded barracks regarded it as a miracle. With magic having been extinct for hundreds of years, these ordinary people had no idea about magic.
, even most nobles actually don't know much about it. Only some big nobles with long inheritance or huge power will understand it half-heartedly. Some top nobles or royal families will have one or two magic items that can still be used and are retained as inherited items.
"Long live Lord Richard!"
"Long live Lord Richard!"
I don’t know who raised the head. When Richard helped Elena stand upright, the soldiers in the wounded barracks began to cheer. However, the person they shouted seemed to be the wrong person. Maybe in their view, Elena
Since he is a subordinate of Sir Richard, naturally everything should be attributed to Sir Richard.
However, Richard was not shy or impatient to that extent. After listening to the cheers of the soldiers around him, he held Elena's hand and raised it. After raising it high, he pressed it with his other free hand to signal the soldiers to stop.
.
These soldiers, the soldiers of the Hunter family, almost all understood the meaning of Richard's gestures, and their voices soon became quieter. When the time was almost up, Richard took the lead and shouted:
"Long live Lady Elena!"
In fact, everyone saw the scene where Elena was treating the wounded soldiers just now, and they were also grateful and respectful to Elena. Now with Richard taking the lead, the cheers started again, even as much as the shouts just now.
.
"Long live Lady Elena!"
"Long live Lady Elena!"
"Long live Lady Elena!"
"..."
"The Dragon of Light..."
Elena, who was enjoying the cheers, felt a little uncomfortable at the moment. She subconsciously wanted to pray to the Dragon of Light but was interrupted by the shouts of the soldiers. She stopped mid-sentence. In the end, she could only smile and nod to the soldiers with her left hand.
But she held Richard tighter and tighter. Elena, who was as brave as any man on the battlefield, was actually a little nervous now...
"Lord Marquis, there is news about the magic crystal."
"you sure?"
The main tent is brightly lit. Compared with the big tents of the ogre chiefs, except that Richard's handsome tent is more spacious and can accommodate many people for discussion, in other aspects it is not as good as the big tents of the ogre chiefs, even Richard.
The handsome tent can be called simple.
After Richard came back from the wounded barracks, he flipped through these documents in the commander's tent, preparing to take a few glances before taking a rest. Unexpectedly, he heard Colon come in to report an important news.
"What specific situation can you tell me?"
Richard put the manuscript in his hand back on the table, looked up at Column and asked.
As the intelligence chief of Yusidu, Colon does have an important task to be brought along by Richard in the battle, because Colon has been handling the intelligence exploration of the wilderness in the early stage. Although Colon's ability cannot be said to be excellent, after passing
After Richard's teachings and practice, he became a qualified intelligence leader, and his early work was quite satisfactory to Richard.
"Lord Marquis, this is the information we just obtained from interrogating the kobold prisoners.
There are several kobolds from the servant tribe that were directly affiliated with Grugash. They once dug similar red ore for Grugash. After several inquiries and comparisons, we can basically confirm that what they dug is what we have been looking for.
The magic crystal."
"Interrogating the kobolds?"
"Well, those kobolds are outside."
"Let them in."
"yes"
"Bring those kobolds in."
As soon as he finished speaking, several dogs' furtive heads emerged from outside the handsome tent, looking inside.
"Hurry in, the master is letting you in."
Just when the kobold hesitated, a burst of very strange words came from outside. To describe this voice, it was like the kind of person Richard encountered in his previous life who could speak some Chinese, but couldn't use the tone and the pronunciation was not standard.
The foreigner spoke, but his voice was a bit sharp, which actually sounded a bit awkward.
"Woof woof..., hurry up, what are you hesitating about!"
"Woof woof... don't kick me, they can't move."
After being urged repeatedly, the group of kobolds came in one after another. A total of four kobolds came into the handsome tent. Three of them looked like ordinary kobolds, with no clothes and unkempt appearance. However, the last kobold actually wore
The blue uniform fits reasonably well, and the hair on his body is clean and clean. At first glance, he is not the same kind of dog.
"The great Lord Marquis."
As soon as he came in, the kobold in blue uniform knelt down and saluted Richard in an exaggerated manner, and patted Richard's horse in broken human language.
Although the words were quite lame, they succeeded in attracting Richard's attention. He looked at Column with some confusion. After Column understood, he began to explain the ins and outs of the matter to Richard.
"When we, Yusi, began to explore the wilderness, we began to try to communicate completely with the kobolds. Since the kobolds can understand the ogre's instructions, there is no reason why they cannot understand human language.
We tried to select some smart ones from the kobold captives and teach them human language deliberately, and the results so far are pretty good. Haba is the one who learned the best among them. Although his tone is ridiculous, there is no problem with basic communication."
"Haba is willing to serve you."
Hearing Column mention his name, Haba immediately straightened his chest and returned to Richard.
"Tell me about those red crystals."
When it comes to magic crystals, the kobold's little mind may not be able to understand it. It is better to describe it more intuitively.
"Sir, they have dug that red crystal for Grugash before, and they all survived the excavation."
"Survived?"
"what happened?"
Haba murmured and relayed Richard's question to several kobolds. During their conversation, the three kobolds clearly thought of something terrible. They looked frightened as they spoke. It was obvious that what they were thinking of was frightening.
They left quite a shadow.
"Great Lord Marquis, the three of them were digging red crystals for Grugash before, but there were huge humans in the area where the crystals were dug. If they encountered those huge humans, they would be eaten as food. Come with them.
They are the only three unlucky ones left to participate in the excavation."
"Giant humans?"
After a moment's thought, Richard understood what the kobold was describing. It was a creature on the snowfield in the far north of the wilderness. It was a snow giant that could have the strength of a great knight when it reached adulthood.
Although the kobolds fled fairly quickly, it was still impossible for them to outrun these snow giants, which were at least six or seven meters tall. Once targeted, they would naturally become prey.
It's a bit tricky. Although the Snow Giants have weak fertility and a small population, that is still relative. According to the limited information that Richard has obtained so far, the Snow Giant tribe generally has its own hunting ground. The environment near the wilderness seems to be
Not comfortable for a snow giant,
The snowfield is not a desolate land with nothing left. There are large herds of cattle and mammoths living in the snowfield. They are all hunted by snow giants. The tribe of snow giants who place their hunting grounds in areas bordering the wilderness should be relatively weak. However, in the weak
The Snow Giant tribe must have dozens of members. Excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled, at least a dozen young and strong warriors can be produced, which is a combat power of more than ten knight-level.
It’s no wonder that Grugesh would rather force the kobolds to die and try their luck than to drive away the nearby snow giants. It is not easy to drive away the snow giants with more than ten powerful knights, and they may also suffer certain losses.
, anyway, Grugesh's demand for magic crystals is not large, and there is no need to mine it on a large scale. It is the most cost-effective way to send some kobolds to try their luck. The lives of kobolds are not valuable anyway.
But things are different here with Richard. Richard's demand is more than a little bit greater. From the consumption of his subordinates, to the construction of buildings, and even the later recruitment of troops, mana crystals are used. And like Grug
The scattered points collected before would definitely not satisfy Richard's appetite.
He must drive away the snow giants entrenched nearby, and he must win the magic crystal mine.
"Colon."
"My subordinate is here."
Send someone to figure out the route to the mine. I need detailed directions.
