1), Frost Giant (1), Red Dragon (1); (PS: The previous description is wrong. Unicorns that have not been upgraded are sixth-level junior soldiers. They only have the peak strength of the Great Knight and cannot reach the earth.)
After recruiting all the troops during this period, the number of Richard's system troops has reached 2,000. A small part of the elven troops remain in the forest city, and some remain on Elena's side. The main force is now
They gathered around Richard.
Ron had already led his troops to meet up with Richard outside the Forest City. At this moment, except for the Frost Giants who were left at the Stone Castle to prepare for emergencies, most of the troops followed Richard into Ironwood City.
"Hey, there are so many half-elves in Master Richard's team."
After Richard led his army into the city, although he ordered the city guards to clear the roads, he did not expel the citizens. Because the relationship between the army and the people of Ironwood City was harmonious, the residents of Ironwood City did not have any fear of the army led by Richard, but there were many
People stayed on both sides of the road, pointing and watching the excitement.
"These people don't feel like half-elves. Although they are somewhat similar, you can see that half-elves are not that tall."
Because of the half-elf leader Al, Ironwood City has attracted many half-elves who have settled in the Ironwood Forest to settle in Ironwood City. Many citizens in Ironwood City have seen half-elves.
Half-elves are generally about 1.7 meters tall, which is shorter than the humans in the North. However, the half-elf war dancers in front of them are generally taller than 1.85 meters and close to 1.9 meters tall, which is even taller among humans.
They are tall, and if you look closely, you can see that they are much stronger than half-elves. One or two half-elves can be said to be like this, but why are all these half-elves so tall and strong?
"What if they weren't half-elves? How could they still be elves?"
"This, too..."
To make him believe that the pure-blooded elves that no longer existed appeared in large numbers under Richard's command, it would be more reliable to believe that they were a group of carefully selected half-elves.
"Hey, look at those horses with wings!"
"Those horses must be able to fly."
"Country bumpkin, that's a Pegasus. It must be able to fly. There's one on the grassland to the west through the Ironwood Forest."
"have you seen?"
"of course!"
"Going west through the ironwood forest and crossing the barren mountains, how can you handle it?"
"I…"
"Qi!"
When this guy whose bragging was exposed was about to refute something, he suddenly saw his companion in front of him staring at the sky and his jaw almost dropped to the ground. He seemed to have seen something extraordinary. Look at the exaggerated dark color of the other party.
, he ignored the rebuttal and looked up at the other party's gaze.
What kind of creature is that? It has a huge body, fiery red scales, sharp dragon horns, and a ferocious dragon head...
"So, is that a giant dragon?"
"Roar!"
A high-pitched dragon roar completely attracted the attention of everyone present.
"The dragon, it's the dragon!"
The crowd suddenly became excited. The giant dragon is a symbol of power in the Golden Dragon Kingdom. This is an idea deeply rooted in the hearts of every kingdom. The Hunter family in the Northland and our Tiemulin also have giant dragons. This is the idea of most citizens. Originally,
As for the extremely high sense of security, the growth may have doubled directly after the appearance of the red dragon.
"There is no red dragon. There are only green dragons and golden dragons."
"What do you know? It's just that the Golden Dragon clan has an agreement with our kingdom. There are not only golden dragons and green dragons on the mainland, but also red dragons and black and white giant dragons. It's just that we haven't seen them before."
"Did Sir Richard's dragon make any agreement with other dragon clans?"
"This is possible."
The person who answered was completely unsure. He was just a traveling businessman with a little more knowledge than these people. How could he know such a profound question?
"Master Richard, you are so awesome."
"Long live Lord Richard!"
"Long live Ironwood City!"
The appearance of the red dragon completely pushed the atmosphere to a high point. Anyone with a little knowledge knows what a giant dragon means to a force. Most of them are bound to the interests of the Hunter family in Ironwood City.
The stronger the Te family is, the happier they will naturally be.
Richard showed the red dragon in front of everyone after careful consideration. Unless he doesn't use these advanced creatures, they will be exposed on the battlefield sooner or later.
With his current power and strength, he is no longer afraid of any trouble caused by sensitive creatures like the red dragon.
Ordinary nobles have no qualifications to influence his ideas. As for the kingdom, even if they have some ideas, they must have a good discussion with him according to the rules. It is impossible to use force.
Showing the red dragon now will be more conducive to uniting people's hearts, promoting the development of the territory, and shocking some young people.
"boom!"
Ironwood Castle
After Richard arrived, most of the troops were arranged to move into barracks. There was a large barracks surrounding Ironwood Fort, and there would be no shortage of buildings like barracks.
The red dragon landed in the open space of Ironwood Castle with a "bang", causing a panic at first. When Richard appeared, the red dragon's tame appearance made everyone give up their fear and start to watch.
"Richard, what's going on with this giant dragon?"
Before he could retract the long sword he was carrying, Viscount Sauter was holding the sword in one hand and looking at the red dragon. Viscount Sauter, who had been sitting in Ironwood Castle, his first reaction when he saw the red dragon was to pick up the weapon.
It wasn't until Richard showed up that he relaxed.
"Don't worry, you can absolutely trust it."
Viscount Sauter: “…”
Richard's words made Viscount Sauter stop asking about Chilong's origin, because he knew that Richard meant he didn't want to explain what he said. No matter how curious he was, he had no choice but to hold it back.
"Can I touch it?"
"Okay, but daddy, it's best not to ride it. It can't control itself."
"Uh-huh."
It seems that every man in the Golden Dragon Kingdom has an indescribable yearning for the giant dragon. Not only Viscount Sauter, but also Richard's two uncles and some younger cousins came over to look at the red dragon, which made the red dragon confused.
He sneezed impatiently,
Chi Long's character is not good at all, he can even be said to be irritable. If Richard hadn't given the order, Chi Long would have breathed his last breath by now.
…
Northland, outside Ironwood Forest
A team of about ten people emerged from the forest. Taking advantage of the patrol of the Hunter family's cavalry, they quickly left the ironwood forest and burrowed into the Hunter family's territory.
"Brother, I could kill all those cavalrymen in less than a minute. Why did they stay in the forest for a long time looking for an opening?"
"You can kill them all so that these cavalry can't go back. Doesn't that clearly tell others that there is a problem?"
"oh."
This team of more than ten people was the advance scout of the orcs led by Youtar. Because the appearance and size of the orcs were not suitable for inquiring, they found a suitable place to camp in the ironwood forest.
Tal and Hypatia went out first to investigate with these half-orcs who could disguise themselves as humans.
Tarr observed the frequency of cavalry patrols and successfully led his men to break through the first release line and get in without alerting the patrolling cavalry.
"These cavalry should only be patrolling around the Iron Wood Forest. After passing this group of cavalry, it should not be easy to encounter the human army again."
"Everyone, remember, never take off your headscarf easily. If someone is exposed and the investigation fails, you should go and explain to the Legion Commander with your head in hand."
"Yes, sir."
"First find a human village to replenish supplies. Next, let's confirm the location of the surrounding Ironwood City and the direction of Zhenbeiguan. It's best to draw a more detailed map."
"Yes, sir."
It is difficult to obtain intelligence from both orcs and humans. For such an important operation, Tarr's understanding of the North is only that of the last time the ogres marched eastward. It can be said that he only knows some superficial knowledge and does not even have a decent map.
, still need new painting.
"Stop and don't move, Xiaoshi Village patrol team will check."
However, just when Tarr and others started to explore, an oncoming human team stopped them. Tarr originally wanted to avoid it, but the northern plains had no more room to escape than the ironwood forest. This flat plain
The terrain and the field of vision are extremely good. As soon as they start running, their secrets will be exposed. Tarr and others can only stand there...
