Richard was standing on the ruins of Langshou Village with a group of heroes and officers.
Although Langshou Village is strong and has been treated with fire protection, ordinary fire attacks have little effect.
But anything can be transformed from quantitative change into qualitative change. With more than forty giant dragons repeatedly attacking Langshou Village with their dragon breaths, all fire prevention measures are in vain.
Occasionally, there would be a burst of fighting sounds in the distance, and then it would soon calm down. It was because some of the orc warriors outside the village had survived and were escaping into the woods. They were bitten by soldiers from the First Flag Regiment of the North Route Army.
put.
Richard did not stop them from chasing the poor bandits. Although he said that the poor bandits should not be chased, but it depends on the situation. Now there are only two or three kittens and puppies left in the nearby orc warriors, and they are all frightened soldiers.
.
The First Flag Regiment was mobilized by Arsi for a long time, and it was with the determination to fight the forward with a narrow escape. As a result, when they arrived at Langshou Village, there was no decent battle, and they were just cleaning the battlefield. The only casualty was
He was injured while going up a gentle slope to clear a trap set by the orcs.
Although it was a good thing to win without any injuries, the soldiers of the First Flag Regiment were still holding their breath and felt as if they had been punched in the cotton. At this moment, they were using all their energy that had not been consumed in the pursuit.
Enter the remaining orc troops.
Richard, on the other hand, was dressed in bright armor. In the ruins still smoking black, if there weren't a large group of officers surrounding him, he would have looked like an aristocratic young man posing for a photo.
"Master Richard, where did those giant dragons go just now?"
Kuz was shocked too much today, which was even greater than the shock he received in the City of Miracles. There were so many dragons under Richard's command, and Kuz could still convince himself that if someone had any secrets with the dragons,
As for our friendship, this kingdom has nothing to do with it.
But today, the dragon that appeared half in the sky out of thin air was too much. It almost appeared in front of everyone, completely defeated the orcs, and then suddenly disappeared out of thin air. This was already challenging Kurtz's perception of the world.
Got it.
Several heroes on the side did not respond to Kurtz's question, but General Arsi and several other senior officers of the Northern Route Army also turned their attention after hearing Kurtz's question. They were actually curious.
This question was only asked by Kurtz first.
"Are you talking about those mirror images? You can do it with just one magic."
"Magic? What those mages in the palace always brag about?"
Compared to Ren, Thor and some top nobles with a long tradition, Kurtz, Arcee and others obviously have less knowledge. Magic has been away for so long that they are extremely unfamiliar with the word magic.
Kurtz only had some impression of magic when he was often in the royal capital and occasionally met court mages. Moreover, hearing what he said was obviously not good for the senses of court mages. He thought that the magic mentioned by court mages was just a boast, and he would also
The court mage is regarded as a member of the Mi Chong.
"Magic is not a lie, it is real."
Richard was in a good mood and responded with a smile. Then he brought the topic back without further explanation.
"Give credit to the First Flag Regiment and tell them not to chase too far and not to enter the woods more than 100 meters."
Richard didn't want to say more about mirror magic. After all, he was also a dabbler who tried to bluff people later. He couldn't explain it clearly himself and he had no obligation to satisfy other people's curiosity. After Richard stopped answering the topic of magic,
, and others did not dare to ask further questions.
After Richard issued the order, someone immediately began to convey it forward and restrain the pursuing soldiers. In this kind of forest, it is one thing to chase too hard and be defeated by the defeated soldiers. If you run too far without a guide, you will get lost.
It is possible.
The number of casualties caused by the army's attack on Langshou Village was not as high as the number of people missing during the recent march in the woods by the army of 100,000 people.
"Sir Richard, the First Flag Regiment has not made any merit, do you want to directly record one merit?"
Arsi was a little hesitant when he heard that Richard wanted to take credit for the First Flag Regiment. Although the First Flag Regiment was an army under his command, logically speaking, he should strive for the credit.
But today's battle was really weird. He had never encountered anything like this before. It was too easy to win. The battle was not difficult at all. It was just like an armed parade. He did not encounter any resistance during the attack and suffered no casualties.
So in the end, the soldiers had to use a venting pursuit to relieve their depression.
Richard now said that he wanted to give credit to the First Flag Regiment as the vanguard, which made Arcee feel a little guilty, so he asked a while of questions.
But Richard didn't think so, and courage is worthy of encouragement.
"It is a rule for pioneers to record their first achievements. They are indeed the first to enter Langshou Village."
"And courage to face death on the battlefield is itself worthy of reward."
"Yes, Sir Richard, I understand."
Alsi quickly announced the news of the merit record to the First Flag Regiment who had returned from chasing the orcs. This made the ordinary soldiers overjoyed. They did not feel the embarrassment of receiving reward for nothing as Alsi felt. They heard that the first meritorious service since the expedition was recorded.
Then everyone cheered.
It's just that Richard still has something to say. The army that will serve as the vanguard will have to prepare for a large number of casualties. The next battle will not be as easy as the Wolf Head Village. As long as the orc general is not stupid, in
After confirming the number of human dragons, the tactics will be adjusted accordingly. It will be difficult for a bunch of orcs to be crammed into the village and the dragons will be able to catch them all like a stuffed can.
…
night falls
The Northern Route Army was well prepared and captured the relatively flat land of Langshou Village. Richard and some of the soldiers lived in the original Langshou Village, but this village was only half of the white land.
, the kobolds had to work hard to repair and build it before the Langshou Village had a look. It was considered that Richard's idea of spending the night in the Langshou Village was realized, and more soldiers cut down trees and set up tents outside.
, the camp was set up according to the construction specifications of the temporary camp.
"Did you see that today at the Wolf Head Village, the number of more than 20 giant dragons suddenly turned into 40, and the orcs were eliminated in one breath?"
"Ah, so many giant dragons suddenly appeared. I thought I was blinded."
"Hey, so many brothers have seen it, it's not like we are dazzled."
"Where do you think this suddenly transformed dragon came from?"
"If I knew, I would still be sitting here with you warming up? But I see, Lord Richard looks like another grown-up."
"who?"
"Hey, who else in our kingdom can bring over forty dragons to help us fight? Of course, His Majesty Aragorn."
"That's right. Who else could find so many giant dragons except His Majesty Aragorn at that time."
"I think Sir Richard and His Majesty Aragorn are not only similar in that they can serve with so many dragons, but also that Sir Richard has the same winning streak against the orcs as Lord Aragorn."
"I heard that Lord Richard had two battles with the orcs when he was in the North, and he won both times. He also killed an orc warrior who was protecting the country."
"I heard about it too. At that time I thought it was just the nobles from the mainland who were bragging."
Although the kingdom had examined the heads of the orcs that Richard sent to the capital from the North, the defenders at Longxingguan, who had been suppressed and beaten by the orcs all year round, simply did not believe in the results of the battle. They had always felt that the results of the battle in the North were
It's an exaggeration.
But now after fighting with Richard, they all believe it. With his ability to suddenly turn twenty giant dragons into forty, wouldn't it be a matter of minutes to defeat two orcs?
"If we go on an expedition with Lord Richard this time, maybe we can really reach the Orc Plateau."
"Maybe, how can the orcs in the woods to the north be able to stop Richard's dragon and those sharpshooters? Our Northern Route Army was heading towards the orc plateau from the beginning."
"But we only have 100,000 people..."
"What's wrong with a hundred thousand people? Lord Richard still has forty giant dragons under his command."
The soldiers didn't know anything about mirror magic. After seeing more than forty dragons, they immediately assumed that Richard had more than forty dragons under his command.
"Too."
These soldiers were talking and bragging around, and they didn't care whether it was appropriate to compare Richard to Aragorn, but they still looked respectful when mentioning Aragorn. The throne of the Charman family is so stable, half of it depends on the golden dragon.
The other half relies on Aragorn's legacy.
Now comparing Richard to Aragon also illustrates Richard's current position in the hearts of the soldiers of the Northern Route Army.
"There are more than forty giant dragons, do you think we have anything to do with this battle?"
"Yes, look at the First Legion today. They just walked into the Langshou Village with their weapons and it was their first achievement."
"It's cool for them to remember this song."
"If you are embarrassed, you should also sign up for the next selection of forwards."
"Sign up, just sign up. With more than 40 giant dragons helping us fight, can we still be afraid of the orcs?"
…
"Team 7, please keep your voice down! Go to bed now that it's warmed up!"
An officer stopped the soldiers' discussion, and in the end only the occasional chirping of insects and the crackling of burning wood were heard in the forest.
Time passed slowly, because the orcs nearby were cleared out relatively thoroughly, and the Northern Route Army spent the night in Langshou Village quite peacefully...
