The so-called fight with a holy-level white dragon was just a way for Richard to put money on his face. After more than a dozen moves, Richard was suppressed by Yamos and had little power to fight back. The leader of the White Dragon Clan
After absorbing the scales of the Dragon God, Yamos' strength increased greatly. Before, Yamos's strength was only slightly stronger than Richard's, but now his combat power advantage over Richard is crushing.
If it weren't for the recovery state of the sacred blood bottle, Richard would have been unable to hold the opponent back. Later, Richard would no longer take the initiative to fight against Yamos. When he found that the opponent was determined to chase after him for some unknown reason.
, Richard kept heading east to leave the battlefield, and ran thousands of kilometers straight away to fight with the opponent for a whole day before he got rid of the opponent through teleportation.
Although it was a bit embarrassing, it finally achieved its set goal, entangling Yamos and the dozens of white dragons he brought to help Duke Ross and his Western Army successfully break through the obstruction of the orc army.
It's just that Richard's losses this time were not small. Not only was he seriously injured, he also lost two golden dragons again. Although he killed half of the white dragons, facing Fang Bailong who had an absolute numerical advantage, even the archangel lost one.
, although the archangel who died in battle was quickly resurrected, one of the resurrection slots was still in vain, resulting in only three of the other five golden dragons that died in battle being resurrected.
In this sudden battle, although the losses were smaller than the last battle with Bailong, Richard was obviously more embarrassed. The first thing he said after arriving at Sol's camp was to persuade Sol to withdraw his troops immediately. He was not sure.
Stop the white dragon one more time.
"Richard, are your injuries okay?"
Richard's injuries at this time looked really scary, and even iron-blooded warriors like Thor were a little worried, but Richard just shook his head and didn't care about his injuries. He was actually a little numb from the pain.
Anyway, as soon as the sacred blood bottle is restored, he will be able to recover immediately without leaving any hidden injuries. What he is really worried about now is the safety of Thor's army.
Although Richard was only responsible for leading the northern route army, he still had a clear view of the current situation. Although he successfully entangled some orcs on the northern route, the orcs in the south had not yet reacted, but the orcs still showed up with a large number of reinforcements.
, coupled with the White Dragon clan who suddenly formed an alliance with the orcs, the plan that Ren and Thor made at the beginning has long been changed beyond recognition. How to retreat now is a big problem.
"My injuries don't matter, Lord Thor's. The army must retreat immediately. When I come back, the orc army has already made some moves. If we don't retreat, the army will be entangled."
"There is also White Dragon. If White Dragon appears again, I have no confidence in resisting him again."
The White Dragon's support for the orcs is completely unmatched by the Golden Dragon clan. Although the White Dragon suffered huge losses after the two wars, for the White Dragon with a small number of people, the loss of dozens of heads was already crippling, but Bai Long
With the dragon's posture, it is not impossible to draw hundreds of white dragons to join the battle again, and the patriarch Yamos is also an existence that Richard cannot deal with at the moment. If it happens again, Richard will not be sure to take the opponent away from the battlefield and use teleportation.
He ran away. After all, Yamos was not stupid. This kind of trick would never happen again.
As soon as Richard finished speaking, the entire tent fell into silence. Apart from the orc army, the white dragon was the variable that Thor was most worried about. Now that Richard said that he could not resist the white dragon, the few dragons who relied on the Golden Dragon Kingdom
The knight was even less sure. Except for Thor's partners, the other dragons were in a state of inaction. It was completely unrealistic to expect them to fight the white dragon desperately.
"But the withdrawal of the army is not that simple. If you withdraw blindly, being chased by the orcs is likely to cause a huge rout..."
"Order the army to discard all heavy equipment, bring enough rations, discard all non-essential supplies, and begin to withdraw immediately. The Imperial Guard will withdraw to Raging Flame Castle and stand by."
"Yes, sir!"
The officer who originally had doubts said no more after Sol gave the order, and immediately took the order and sat back.
"Sir Ross, you lead the Western Army to open the way forward and maintain order at Longxi Pass after retreating. Before I come back, all the troops in Longxi Pass will be under your command."
Ross looked at Thor, hesitated and said.
"I will stay with the Western Border Army. The Western Border Army is all cavalry..."
However, Sol shook his head and said something very straightforward.
"The Western Border Army cannot suppress it, so I must lead the Imperial Guards to stay and hold the Raging Flame Castle for at least half a month."
"Okay, just listen to my orders. I still have the dragon. It's easier to leave than it is for you."
Seeing that Duke Ross wanted to say something else, Thor simply waved his hand to stop him and turned his attention to Richard.
"Richard, your injury..."
"It will recover tomorrow. I have the strength to fight, but I am no match for that white dragon. The dragons under my command suffered heavy losses, and basically all of them are injured. If the white dragon comes again, not many of them will be able to participate in the battle."
"If the war doesn't go well, I will retreat first."
Richard spoke very frankly at this time. Anyway, the battle has reached this point, and he has a clear conscience. He knows what Sol means. In order to retreat the army, the coach is going to personally lead an elite team to break the rear. With such strength,
In a situation of great disparity, after breaking off, there is almost no possibility of escape.
As for evacuating by dragon in the end, if you think about it carefully, you will realize that it is unreliable. It would have been possible in the past. Now that the orcs have the help of the white dragon, how can they let go of a dragon knight who has left behind a broken queen?
Thor had obviously prepared for the worst in order to evacuate the army.
Although Richard admired him in his heart, he didn't want to stay and live and die with Thor. At most, he could help defend the city and retain his magic power. When things couldn't be done, he could use teleportation to evacuate with his men.
"Well, I have sent Fengniao to deliver a message to the royal capital. Based on your merits, I suggest that your majesty grant you the title of king."
Saul was not annoyed by Richard's attitude. He knew that Richard had done his best to do this. Instead, he told Richard about his kingship.
"Thank you Lord Thor!"
No matter what Solti's purpose was at this time, Richard still had to accept this sentiment and thanked Sol with a slight bow.
"I just reported your credit to His Majesty truthfully. It's up to Your Majesty to decide. You don't need to thank me yet."
Of course, this is just what Thor said politely. Regarding the current dilemma facing the Golden Dragon Kingdom, with Thor's status and importance plus Richard's strength, as long as Richard doesn't want Ren to step down and become the king himself, Lei
Endu will agree to it, it's just a title, and an old fox like Renn knows very well what is more important. This prince is already in his pocket, and all he has to do is wait for Renn to issue the order.
This virtual title, which is equivalent to the king's status, seems to be of little use to others, but it may play a big role in Richard's case. A prince whose status is equivalent to the king can always meet the conditions for the opening of Yunzhong City.
Alright. After the war with the orcs began, Richard's need for high-end combat power became more and more urgent.
After Sol and Richard talked, the big tent fell into silence for a while. Everyone was not stupid and naturally knew what Sol meant. The atmosphere was obviously a little depressed. In the end, Sol waved his hand.
"What are you still doing here? Hurry up and arrange a retreat!"
"Yes, Lord Thor!"
Richard also withdrew from Saul's main account along with Duke Ross and a group of senior officers...
…
Watch City.
After a period of fierce human attacks, the city's defenders were pushed to their limits. At this time, they finally breathed a sigh of relief due to the arrival of a large number of reinforcements.
However, it was not time for them to rest yet. Under the command of the defender, the army in the city had already begun to leave the city and prepared to launch a counterattack against the retreating human army.
Watch City, in a spacious hall, several senior generals, including Orc Watch City Commander Areva, were sitting at the bottom of the table respectfully. An old orc and an elf who looked out of place sat down.
on the top.
"Master Great Shaman, the troops have begun to mobilize according to your instructions. If all the troops in the Watch City and the surrounding fortresses are mobilized, we will have more than 500,000 troops available for pursuit."
"It's just that this way the Watch City will be completely undefended."
"Follow my order. All the reinforcements from the Northern Grassland Corps will arrive at Watch City tomorrow. Don't worry about humans still daring to attack. We will launch an attack as soon as dawn tomorrow and leave the enemy behind as quickly as possible."
"Yes, Your Excellency the Great Shaman!"
"Does Mr. Adelillo have anything else to say?"
"The White Dragon will cooperate in fighting tomorrow. If that human saint takes action again, I hope you and Yamos will cooperate to defeat the opponent."
"no problem."
The great shaman readily agreed to Adelillo's request, and it was originally something that he wanted to do to deal with the powerful human beings at the holy level.
As the war progressed, the great shaman who was originally in the royal capital had secretly arrived at the front line of the war. Along with him was the elf god Adelillo. They had also learned the lesson from the last time. This time the great shaman
Mitsuru is responsible for commanding the orc army, while Adelillo can suppress White Dragon and cooperate with the orcs to win this battle.
…
Human Camp
Under Richard's reminder, the retreat was much faster than before. Of course, the whole process was also a lot more chaotic. A large amount of supplies were discarded, and the soldiers were also in a hurry. However, basic conditions were still maintained under the officer's dispatch.
order.
Some of the cavalry in the Western Territory have dispersed to guard the two wings. Only the Imperial Guards brought by Thor and a few elites of the Longxinguan Legion, a total of 400,000 people, have remained in place for the time being.
The remaining soldiers looked somewhat unnatural on their faces when they saw the other troops retreating. Fortunately, Thor rode a golden dragon for a circle from time to time, which stabilized the morale of the soldiers.
Moriel and Natalie were in a separate camp, watching the entire army move with cold eyes. To them, the success or failure of this army was not important. They were more worried that Richard would get hot-headed and try to survive or die with the army.
.
But at this tense moment, Richard disappeared. In order to improve his strength as much as possible, Richard rested in the camp and restored his magic power, then activated teleportation, preparing to take advantage of this free time to return to the Stone Fortress.
, receive the mission reward for killing the white dragon.
…
in the dark night
The Stonehenge Castle is eerily quiet. As a controlled system castle, the Stonehenge Castle is not as lively as the City of Miracles outside, but it is the core existence of the entire territory.
Without alerting anyone, Richard appeared directly in the Stone Fortress and walked into the Congress Hall...
