"Moriel, how about it? Do you think there is a chance at Dragon's Breath Pass?"
In the past few days, Richard either together with Duke Ross, or took Moriel and Natalie on his own, inspected the entire defense of Dragon's Breath Pass, and gained a deeper understanding of the defense of Dragon's Breath Pass.
Judging from Richard's relatively good military literacy, the defense line was very complete, but it still could not stop the orcs' attack.
However, when it comes to the ability to lead troops, Richard can only be regarded as qualified if he does not cheat. To be able to do this is considered to be Richard's talent and intelligence, while Moriel can be called a true military expert, so Li Cha
After Chazai made his own judgment, he wanted to hear Moriel's conclusion.
It’s just that Moriel, who has always been arrogant, has no way to protect Dragon Breathing Pass. She just shook her head and said:
"We can only try to delay it. This Dragon's Breath Pass cannot be defended. If nothing can be done, I hope you will evacuate decisively."
"Um"
"It's a pity that if the Western Army were stronger, they would still be able to fight."
"The Western Border Army is really good."
"Just in terms of combat literacy and fighting will, this army is not weaker than Erathia's Royal Guards Corps. It is better trained than any army in the underground city. Unfortunately, their personal strength is generally poor.
On par with cavemen.”
Moriel's evaluation of the Western Army can be said to be very high, but it can also be said to be very low. Comparing the Western Army with the Royal Guards of Erathia is definitely an affirmation of the Western Army. Erathia's Royal Guards
The Imperial Guards are not the kind of soldiers who stand guard in the royal capital.
It was the ace army that Catherine personally formed after the Erathia Crisis. Catherine personally led the expedition to the mainland, and forcefully saved the Erathia Building from falling. It was definitely an army that was talked about by all the forces on the Erathia Continent.
Moriel said that the Western Border Army's tactical literacy and fighting will are not weaker than those of Erathia's Royal Guards Corps. Naturally, this is a great affirmation of the Western Border Army. However, combat literacy and fighting will alone cannot fully represent combat effectiveness and individual strength.
The strength of the army will also greatly affect the combat effectiveness of the army.
Although the fighting quality and fighting will of the Western Border Army are not inferior to Erathia's Ace Legion, their combat effectiveness is completely different from Erathia's Guards Legion.
Erathia's Guards Corps is based on a large number of spearmen, halberdiers and sharpshooters, with backbone forces such as swordsmen and crusaders. It has an independently organized champion knights and even a mixed army of angels.
However, great knights are rare in the Western Army, and their individual strength differs greatly.
The combat strength of the ordinary soldiers of the Western Border Army is similar to that of the cavemen in the dungeon. The cavemen are basically the weakest first-order soldiers in the world of Might and Magic. Even if they are said to be cannon fodder, they are somewhat unqualified. In the dungeon where the jungle is strong and the jungle is strong.
, Cavemen even sometimes become a backup ration for other high-level creatures.
With the individual combat effectiveness not much different from that of the cavemen, no matter how strong their combat qualities and willpower are, the Western Army cannot possibly compete with Erathia's Guards Corps.
"What do you think is the optimal solution?"
"If I were to take command, Longxi Pass must be defended for a while, but it cannot be defended forcefully. Most of the Western Border troops are cavalry. It would be too wasteful to put them on the city wall to fight a war of attrition. Put some of them on the second and third lanes.
Between the buffer zones of the defense line, we waited for the orcs to break through and then looked for opportunities to make a surprise attack. After we succeeded, we left and no longer cared about the defense of Longxing Pass. Behind us was the central plain. Hundreds of thousands of cavalry were scattered on the plain to fight on the move.
It will definitely cause more trouble to the orcs than at Dragon Breath Pass."
"This is to make Duke Ross give up Dragon's Breath Pass."
"Longxing Pass cannot be defended in the first place."
…
"Lord Richard, Duke Ross wants you to rush back to the meeting hall in the main city immediately."
While Richard and Moriel continued to discuss the defense issue of Longxingguan, a messenger came to Richard and conveyed Duke Ross's order to Richard with a respectful expression.
"Huh? Do you know what happened?"
Seeing the messengers hurrying to summon him back to the meeting hall in the main city, Richard was a little confused. He had just left not long ago, and there were no plans for a military meeting today. Why was Ross so anxious to call him back? Could something have happened?
What accident?
"It seems that a messenger from the royal capital has arrived. He is going to read out some order. I need you to come with him."
"Messenger from the royal capital?"
…
"Your Excellency Richard has arrived."
After the messenger reported the news, he quickly returned to the main city without any further delay. At this time, there were several horses parked beside the door of the meeting hall. The horses were covered with mud, and they had obviously traveled a long distance.
This time the envoy from the royal capital was not pretentious at all. In order to rush for time, he did not even ride in the carriage, but came galloping all the way with a few followers on horseback.
Without thinking much, Richard walked into the meeting hall with Moriel and Natalies. The surrounding guards respectfully moved out of the way. Even the guards like Moriel and Natalies were very familiar with it.
They were also in awe of the two beautiful ladies who followed Richard at all times. After all, there were many defeated soldiers who came back, many of whom had seen the strength of Moriel and Natalie. As time went by, they became a little better informed.
Everyone knows that the two female generals who are following Richard at all times are strong men who can fight the dragon alone.
"Your Excellency Richard is finally here. Let me introduce to you. This is the envoy from the royal capital, Lord Popodia."
There were not many people in the meeting hall, and most of the people inside were familiar to Richard. Except for the Duke of Ross and a few senior generals, there was only one unfamiliar face.
A tall, beardless man was standing next to the Duke of Ross. Although he was wearing a warrior uniform, he could not hide his feminine temperament. His face was delicate and white without a beard. Although he looked tired from the world, his skin was very white and tender, and he was surrounded by a group of people who had been around for a long time.
The battle-hardened generals stand out in comparison.
Richard could tell the identity of the other party almost at a glance. The messenger who sent the order was an internal official in the palace. If ordinary nobles and officials saw this kind of internal official, they would probably have some thoughts to please, but when it came to the Duke of Ross and Richard
After this level, these internal officials are just ordinary heralds in their eyes, and those who are servants of the kingdom are of little significance to them.
Richard just nodded as a greeting.
"Master Richard is young and promising. He has become a great hero in the hearts of the people of the Kingdom at such a young age..."
The internal official named Bobodia did not dare to be dissatisfied with Richard's casual attitude. Instead, he took the initiative to chat with Richard, which was completely different from his previous indifferent attitude when facing other nobles along the way.
Obviously, this internal official is also a smart man, and he clearly sees the gap between his own status and that of Richard.
After a few perfunctory words, Richard didn't want to waste time listening to others praise him, but took the initiative to ask:
"I wonder what His Majesty Ren's decree was brought by the envoy to Longxingguan?"
Popodia took out a piece of high-quality kraft paper, which was full of words. Although Richard was far away, he could see that it seemed to be an order to award a reward.
"Lord Richard, Your Majesty thinks that you and the Duke of Ross have made great contributions, and has decided to promote you, the Duke of Ross, and Lord Saul to the title of king. From now on, you can ride horses when entering the palace without having to hand in weapons, and you do not need to stand and salute during court meetings.
, I have also prepared a place for you in the main hall."
Several generals around showed surprised expressions. The highest title in the kingdom is a duke. It is really unheard of to have a king. Even the heroes at the beginning of the founding of the country only had the title of duke at most. In a sense, the king
Even if he is on an equal footing with the king, how can the Golden Dragon Kingdom grant him a title so easily?
After hearing this, the Duke of Ross on the other side showed a tangled look on his face. He didn't know why the king wanted to raise his title for a moment. If possible, he didn't want it. At his status, the so-called prince and duke was just a false name.
It's just that there is no substantial benefit but carrying a huge burden of tourist attractions will only make him more stressed.
But when Richard heard this, he said, good fellow, isn't this just a replica of going to the palace with swords and shoes, entering the court without following, and praising names without paying tribute? I'm afraid no one who has been treated like this in ancient and modern times will have a good death.
However, Richard was not worried about this at all. What worried him more was the sudden notification sound in his consciousness.
"You have been recognized by Yunzhong City..."
When Richard got the piece of vellum that conferred him the title of King, Yunzhong City's recognition also followed.
Richard found the construction page in his mind, and the Yunzhong City construction option that had always been gray turned green. Without any hesitation, Richard directly chose to build Yunzhong City.
Cloud City is no different from other buildings. This biological nest that can produce top-level angels is not on the ground, but in mid-air.
At this time, the sky in Miracle City in the North, thousands of miles away, suddenly changed. Large white clouds gathered over the stone castle at the core of the city. A dragon seemed to appear above the stone castle, sucking water, gathering and crushing the surrounding white clouds.
It slowly spread out, and then a golden palace appeared above the clouds, and a god-man's residence appeared above the city of miracles.
Different from the game, the Cloud City in the game only occupies a small area of the screen and is inconspicuous. However, in reality, the area of the Cloud City is close to the size of the Stone Fortress, even if it is several hundred meters high.
It is also particularly conspicuous in the air.
The strange phenomenon in the sky has long attracted the attention of the residents of the City of Miracles. Many people noticed the scene in the mid-air when the clouds changed. At this time, they saw a palace appearing out of thin air in the sky, and their eyes dropped with shock.
son.
"what is that?"
"Look, there is a palace above the clouds?"
"It must be an illusion. I heard businessmen from the south say that they occasionally see cities appearing out of thin air on the sea. As soon as they get closer, they find that there is nothing there."
In addition to exclamation and speculation, some people also try to explain the existence of Yunzhong City from a reasonable perspective.
At this time, the city lord's palace also exploded. A group of people stood in the open space of the castle, looking up at Yunzhong City at 90 degrees, and the leader was Viscount Sauter.
"There really is a palace up there!"
"Brother! There won't be any problems in this palace. Do you want to enter a state of war readiness?"
After observing for a while, no other abnormalities were found, but the sudden appearance of the palace in the sky was the biggest abnormality, enough to make everyone alert.
But after Viscount Sauter lowered his head, he discovered something different. Among the surprised crowd, some people seemed a little out of place. The faces of the master guards left by Richard were too calm. They looked at the air.
The palace that suddenly appeared showed no curiosity at all.
"Knight Zebul, do you know what that is in the sky?"
Viscount Sauter did not issue an order to prepare for war for the time being, but tentatively asked Zebul.
Unexpectedly, Zebul calmly said a bunch of words that he couldn't quite understand.
"It's Yunzhong City. In the future, our city will also have an angel army. Lord Richard's men are becoming more and more powerful."
Come on, don't be wary. Although most of them didn't understand, Viscount Sauter still understood the last sentence. These are all things created by his precious son.
After having some idea in his mind, Viscount Sauter turned around and ordered:
"It's nothing serious. It's all caused by that kid Richard. Send people to Miracle City to maintain order. Don't let some guys with ulterior motives take the opportunity to disrupt the order."
"yes, Sir!"
…
On the other side, Richard didn't know how much noise the Yunzhong City he built had caused in the City of Miracles. Of course, even if he knew about it, Richard wouldn't care too much. The strength of the Beidi Group is no longer afraid of anyone coveting it.
The hundreds of thousands of Northland troops and the endless high-end forces are enough to deter all prying forces.
After building Yunzhong City, Richard came back to his senses and looked at Bobodia, who was a little embarrassed. The envoy from the royal capital was looking at the cowhide document in Richard's hand, and seemed to want to
Say something.
"Lord Richard, we may need a simple canonization ceremony."
It turned out that Bobodia did not want to directly hand over the canonized cowhide document to Richard. Richard just grabbed the document in his hands in excitement. Richard tried hard to take it. How could Bobodia dare to confront Richard?
, this thing that originally needed to be handed over to Richard after going through a certain ceremony was directly in Richard's hands.
At this time, several of Popodia's followers were still waiting outside the door, and they had obviously made some preparations for this ceremony.
It's just that Richard has no intention to cooperate with Bobodia's ceremony now. Today also happens to be the first day of the new month. The war is getting closer and closer. Now it is extremely important to strengthen the strength. Richard still
I want to go back to the Northland as soon as possible to see if I can gain anything new.
"Your Excellency Bobodia, I still have military duties to attend to today, so I will skip the ceremony. If it is really necessary, I will make up for it after the battle."
"this?"
Bobodia was a little confused, and only one word came to his mind, domineering. He was somewhat annoyed by Richard's attitude.
But he was a smart man, so he didn't even dare to have an attack, but turned his attention to Duke Ross for help.
However, before Ross could speak, Richard was anxious to return to the North, so he took the canonization order and turned around and left with Moriel and Natalies, leaving only everyone in the hall looking at each other.
"Well, Mr. Bobodia, I think what Mr. Richard said may have some truth..."
