"Master Richard, we are already reaching the dense forest."
"Well, order the army to cook and eat on the spot, speed up after resting, and rush back to Yandong Mountain tonight."
"Yes, sir!"
Richard led more than 2,000 of his men to march for a day and a half. Because there was no need to think about combat issues anymore, and they also brought a pile of materials stripped from Bailong's body, the army did not march very fast. It took a day and a half to march.
Arrive at the edge of the jungle.
Richard's mission in this battle has been successfully completed. Richard has no unrealistic idea of attacking the Orc King's capital. He led his people to decisively return to Yandong Mountain to rest. As for whether to return to Longxi Pass or directly return to the Northland
, it just depends on the situation.
But at this moment, a wind bird quickly fell into Kurtz's hands. Kurtz, who had always acted as a liaison officer, opened the letter brought by the wind bird and hurried to Richard.
"Lord Richard!"
"What's wrong with General Kurtz?"
"Lord Thor expressed his praise for your achievements in the letter and will ask for credit after the battle. Now Lord Thor hopes that you can lead the dragon to Watch City to help in the battle."
The distance between the North Road and Watch City is no less than a few hundred miles, which is still a straight line from the air. If you want to go to Watch City, you have to cross Monaya, the capital of the Orcs. It is naturally impossible for ground troops to go there together.
Regarding the matter, Thor did not ask Richard to go, so in the letter he only made a request for Richard to lead the dragon.
Richard took the letter handed over by Kurtz and saw that the handwriting was strong and strong. It was actually Sol's own handwriting. The wording also seemed very respectful. It was not a command tone from a superior to a subordinate, but it contained some discussion and request.
.
In less than a year, Richard's status has risen sharply to the point where he is on par with Thor, the Kingdom's Optimus Pillar. Even after the results of this battle are reported back, Richard's status will also rise.
One more thing can be said.
All in all, Saul is somewhat kind to Richard. When he was in the Northland and the River Valley, Saul treated Richard well, and he got a lot of benefits from him. Now his old boss is asking for help in this tone.
You should consider both emotions and reasons.
It's just that as the leader of a semi-independent force, some things are not just based on kindness. Originally, Richard led the dragon and a large number of system troops to lead the North Route Army with the intention of making a deal. For the fat meat in the river valley,
Richard paid the price of five giant dragons.
Now Saul's letter is nice, but the actual benefits are not much. Now that Richard's territory is adjacent to the core territory of the kingdom, the Central Plains, we can't give Richard a piece of the Central Plains.
The title has even reached the level of Duke, which is also unentitleable, and Thor cannot make the decision.
What's more important is that the dragons under him have been fighting continuously, which not only severely exhausted their physical strength, but also caused many injuries after fighting the white dragons. Richard's injuries can be solved by going to the front line of Watch City to help in the battle now, but it is really not enough.
After struggling a little in his heart, Richard turned to the giant dragon that had been following the team in the sky and said to Kurtz:
"General Kurtz, you see, my dragons are all injured, can they still continue to fight?"
"This...is Lord Saul's side."
"The war is tense on Lord Saul's side. If the army in the middle is defeated, it will be difficult to hold Longxi Pass."
"Master Richard, the dragon needs to rest. The soldiers' physical strength has reached its limit during this period."
At this time, Moriel, who was riding a red flame horse, came over and reminded Richard that of course Moriel did not support Richard's going to Longxing Pass to help in the war. Even in Moriel's view, the war between the Golden Dragon Kingdom and the orcs
, Richard's best choice is to sit back and watch the success or failure, and the best choice is to come out and clean up the mess in the end.
"you…"
Kurtz looked back at Moriel. He knew how terrifying this woman was, and he didn't dare to say anything like that. After all, he, the liaison officer, could only be an outsider here with Richard, and he could only show a little dissatisfaction on his expression.
, while Moriel stared back indifferently.
Richard closed his eyes, but a round of battle between heaven and man began in his heart.
Strictly speaking, according to Moriel's idea, the best solution is to go back to the North and wait and see the success or failure. With the current strength of the orcs and the strength of Bailong's support for the orcs, Richard can put all his men's strength into this.
The outcome of this battle is only 50-50. Unless the golden dragon can also show its support for humans with the same strength as before, and a holy-level golden dragon comes with dozens or hundreds of giant dragons to help in the battle, the human army will have a chance to come back.
If Richard doesn't care about anything at this moment and takes people directly back to the North, Thor's final defeat is almost inevitable, and the destruction of Dragon's Breath Pass is also a high probability event.
After the Dragon's Breath Pass is defeated and the invading orcs destroy all order in the kingdom, it is the best solution for Richard, who is hiding in the North, to lead the Northland army and return a systematic army to clean up the mess. There is almost no reputation or moral pressure.
Successfully ascended the throne.
And with the system in hand, Richard doesn't have to worry about the orcs becoming too big to control the situation. No matter how bad the Golden Dragon Kingdom is, there are still so many people. There are still a large number of knight castles dotted on the central plain, and the fleet on the Jinlong River is still there.
Parley's preparations in the south are no joke.
Although the kingdom is not as rich in martial virtue as in the Aragorn era, under the policy of heavy knights, it still maintains the bottom line of the combat effectiveness of the entire aristocratic class. It is not a ruling class that can be broken at a glance like a doomsday dynasty. The orcs have entered the dragon's breath.
Guan will have to spend at least a few more years to calm down the situation. In a few years, the dragons under Richard's command will be able to form a clan of their own.
But just letting the beasts break through and slaughter all the humans, Richard still felt a little guilty in his conscience.
"Sir Richard, it may not be that easy for the orcs to control a holy dragon. It would be too risky to go to the front line of Watch City!"
Seeing Richard lost in thought, Moriel was a little anxious, fearing that Richard would fight for the kingdom again.
"General Kurtz, do you think His Majesty Ren is willing to make me king?"
Richard opened his eyes, and his first sentence did not respond to whether he wanted to support Thor. Instead, he asked a question that made Kurtz almost fall off his horse.
"Be crowned king?"
This is to be on an equal footing with the king. The royal family of Charlemagne has been powerful in the kingdom for hundreds of years. The nobles only dare to make some small moves. No rebellious ministers and traitors dare to make such unreasonable demands. The key is this question. Kurtz
I can't be the master at all.
However, Kurtz can be regarded as a clear-thinking person. Although he was shocked by Richard's question at first, he quickly realized that now it is not a matter of considering whether Richard is a traitor or a traitor. If he cannot win this
After the First World War, it will be a question whether the kingdom will survive after the orcs break Dragon's Breath Pass.
"I think that based on Sir Richard's merits, His Majesty Ren will definitely be willing to make him king."
"Does it matter what you say? When did General Kurtz have such power?"
Moriel on the side poked Kuz unceremoniously, but at this time Kuz was brave enough and said immediately:
"Master Richard led the Northern Route Army to victory after victory, annihilating tens of thousands of orcs, and also defeated the invading white dragon. I believe that with Sir Saul's justice, he will definitely ask for credit for Sir Richard. Sir Richard
It is not impossible to be crowned king."
"Okay, Sir Mrak will continue to lead his army back to Cave Mountain to rest. General Moriel, please take the dragon that is in better condition and go with me."
"But…"
"It's nothing to worry about. It's worth the walk for the Archangel."
"Yes, sir!"
Richard finally came up with a reason that allowed him to take a trip into this muddy water. The seventh-level military camp of the main human (castle) city, Yunzhong City, has not yet been located. According to the description of the construction requirements, what is needed to build Yunzhong City is to become
A representative figure of the human race, but when Richard was granted the title of Duke, he still did not receive recognition from the system. The title of Prince, in theory, should be recognized as he is on an equal footing with the king.
Seeing that Richard had made up his mind, Moriel stopped trying to dissuade him. She jumped into the air and turned into an ancient black dragon and flew into the air. The huge dragon wings flapped the strong wind, which made Kurtz unable to open his eyes.
"The kingdom is lucky to have a loyal minister like Lord Richard."
Although Kurtz didn't understand Richard's last words about castles and angels, he still understood that Richard had decided to go to support Thor. No matter what, he had to flatter him first.
Richard smiled casually after hearing this. At this point, no one would believe him even if he said he was a loyal minister. If the orcs, a powerful enemy, did not exist, and the top officials of the kingdom were still clear-headed, based on what he did in the North,
It has long been suppressed by the entire kingdom's ruling class.
Kurtz himself made a fuss and said no more and remained silent.
After a while, Moriel separated from the team with the nine-headed dragon.
A poisonous dragon, an ancient golden dragon, and seven golden dragons. These dragons had basically no injuries on their bodies and maintained good combat power. In addition, Richard also brought Natalis, Elena, the archangel and the three dragons with him.
He is an archangel, and his sincerity speaks volumes.
Richard knew that this line of work was quite dangerous. This battle had become extremely abnormal since Bai Long joined the battle. Not only had he escaped from Thor's control long ago, but even Richard had sensed the danger inside, but with the ability to teleport
Richard, who had double protection with the Archangel, still had the courage to go to the middle line to play again, which was worthy of his status as a human being.
"Roar!"
As the reins in Richard's hand lifted, another poisonous dragon flew from the sky. Richard jumped on the poisonous dragon and led his men to the Watch City...
