City of Sin: Ten
In three days, Richard was running around, quelling seven rebellions in a row, and killing hundreds of people. Soak up the book (www.pao8.com), which is specifically outside Royal City, and fight a large-scale battle with some rebel city defense forces and the noble private army who came to Loyalist.
The number of Royalist troops reached more than 4,000, and Richard sent 1,500 troops, which is almost all of his current strength. Such a disparity in the strength of the forces caused the suspense to be lost from the beginning.
In three minutes, Rune Knight penetrated the opponent's front. Five minutes later, the Loyalist army began to be chaotic, and it became a total defeat in the tenth minute.
The essence of the royal family has been through the successive attacks of Raymond invasion, Sixth War of the Gods, and Richard this straight into Royal Capital, and finally lost all.
After pacifying the situation in Royal Capital, Richard convened a meeting of the House of Lords to formally announce the establishment of Crimson Duchy and found the country Grand Duke. But Richard did not take this opportunity to break away from Sequoia Kingdom, but said that Crimson Duchy upholds the permanent covenant with Direwolf Duke and is still a vassal of Sequoia Kingdom.
This news does not make people happy, because Richard does not mean surrender, but to continue to legally intervene in the Kingdom ’s internal affairs in the future. Richard has made it clear that he is not going to make the royal family feel better.
The second thing that Richard announced in the House of Lords reiterated its identity as Pioneer Knight and updated the direction and scope of its development. This time, Richard's appetite was much larger, and Ancestral Highlands, Pale Highlands, and the turbulent land were all included in the scope of 'pioneering'. These places are dangerous areas where humans have been helpless in the past few years, but there are Richard's glorious history of Bloodstained Lands in the past few years, and now no one dares to say that he cannot complete such a feat.
Later, Richard posted a map, which is the territory of Crimson Duchy. In fact, Crimson Duchy is the most part of Bloodstained Lands. The former jazz collar officially subdivided to him by Direwolf Duke, as well as a few pieces of territory seized from Iron Triangle Empire and Sequoia Kingdom.
Finally, the result of the church war was announced. Except for the northeast region of the kingdom, the Church of the Three Goddesses will completely replace the Church of the God of Courage, and all the parishes that originally belonged to the God of Courage will be placed under the Church of the Three Goddesses. The religious tax originally required by citizen was also transferred to the Church of the Three Goddesses, and the conversion of the underlying believers would not be mandatory. However, some nobles who have a close relationship with the church have heard from the last sentence the sound of unwilling killing, because Richard emphasized the word on the bottom.
At this point, Richard's position in Faro is completely solid and has become a powerful party. At this moment, relative to the Farobon Plane forces, Richard can definitely be said to be strong and powerful. But the Sixth War of the Gods ended in this way, or let Sequoia Aristocrat breathe a sigh of relief.
According to mainland practice, after a War of the Gods, there will be a fairly long period of calm on the mainland. But what these nobles did not expect was that Richard was already thinking about the seventh War of the Gods.
Richard found that Neian ’s natural allies Ceres and Cenai did not participate in the war.
There may be many reasons behind this. War of the Gods is actually a very complicated thing, no less than the political trade-off between Human Kingdom. Perhaps it was because at the beginning they felt that Neian alone was enough to deal with the three goddesses. Perhaps it is due to balance considerations, that is to say, if the **** advantage of one side participating in the battle is too obvious, and it is expected to get too many benefits, it is likely that some gods from the neutral camp will change their positions, especially the God's Obligation is related or Cross. But it is more likely that they have not recovered, and the injuries are much heavier than Neian.
If this guess is confirmed, then Richard does not mind giving Ceres and Cenai a heavy blow at this time.
The Sixth War of the Gods ended, and the three goddesses accident/surprise won a full victory.
But it seems that Richard did not get much loot in the war. He neither asked for war compensation nor made too many territorial claims, not even increased the caravan share of the vertical line, but only collected 10% of the royal system.
Richard requires and obtains more religious rights, but that has nothing to do with him. Because almost everyone now knows that in addition to a mage who may be Legendary Level, there is also a mysterious and extremely powerful deity behind Richard.
There are also keen people who have seen the invisible harvest of Richard, that is, now Sequoia Kingdom has almost become the back garden of Richard.
In a series of wars, Richard defeated and wiped out all the enemies in his kingdom, destroyed their army, and more importantly, destroyed the courage of the Sequoia Aristocrats against him. For at least ten years, it was impossible for the royal family and nobles who had stood on the opposite side of Richard to restore their vitality and rebuild the army that could threaten Richard.
On the other hand, the economic lifeline of Sequoia Kingdom is actually controlled by Richard. All the minerals of Sequoia Kingdom, the dwarves of Pale Highlands, have more than ten times the output of Sequoia Kingdom. However, most of the slaves needed by the kingdom have to be imported from the original Bloodstained Lands, and now the Crimson Duchy of Richard. Moreover, all caravans that pass through Crimson Duchy in the Kingdom now have to pay very high taxes to Richard.
The only thing that Sequoia Kingdom is useful for Richard is food and wine. But these two things are the least valuable goods in terms of the rich production of Faro. Even if Sequoia Kingdom wants to blockade, Richard can also be purchased from Iron Triangle Empire or Baroque Kingdom. A larger number of principalities are willing to supply Richard grain. In Faro where a farmer can feed a dozen people, food is not a problem at all.
Even so, Richard's gains still don't seem to be enough. As a result, he has gained the reputation of "benevolent" in the mainland's high society.
Richard did not stay in Royal Capital, but hurried back to Oasis City. He left Gangdor and Eio in Faro again, and left them twenty Rune Knight, and returned to Norland with all his followers.
In Norland, Richard still has a lot of miscellaneous things to deal with. On the other hand, he should seriously think about the promotion to Archmage.
Yes, Archmage, a Archmage who was just twenty years old.
The promotion of Archmage is not all simple. Although Richard does not feel its bottleneck, it is not willing to engage in haste.
When the accumulation of Mana gradually approached the boundary of Level 18, Richard found that his bloodline gradually showed signs of resonance with Mana. This is a symptom of the ability to produce Archmage.
However, Richard wanted to take a deeper look. His analytical talents found that his different blood lines and Mana have different resonance degrees, obviously Archeron Bloodline is the strongest, and Imaginary Star is second, followed by Rank 2 recovery, then Nature, elements and Moon Force. Upon discovering this sign, Richard immediately stopped the process of sprinting towards Level 18.
There is no room for sloppyness on the road to the rank of Jin. The first ability gained when entering the Archmage realm is extremely important, perhaps second only to the legendary ability.
Sometimes an unexpectedly powerful ability can transform a Archmage. For example, Dragon Master Lina, when she was promoted to Archmage, she evolved her ability to summon a common Red Dragon into an ability to permanently sign a soul contract with an adult Red Dragon. Then she found the powerful Red Dragon Carlo, and gained the trust of Carlo. From then on, she became a real dragon mage, and became an extremely powerful Archmage. She even had the power of one enemy and two on the battlefield.
The ability gained when promoting Archmage is largely regarded as a gift of fate, because no one knows what he will get.
But now Richard does not think so. Obviously, Archmage ability is related to blood vessels. The specific relationship needs to be further clarified. Although he is still unclear, whether this connection can be used to add human influence, but since there is such a discovery, always try it.
To clarify this issue, Richard has an ideal place, dark blue.
So after Richard returned to Norland, it immediately took three heads of Wyvern, famous for its speed, and flew to the dark blue. At present, the ultra long-distance teleportation array from dark blue to floating island has not been completed, but in fact Richard can also consult the teachers of the past through magic communication. However, Richard still decided to rush to Deep Blue. Another reason is that he wanted to see the sleeping Legendary Mage again.
Wyvern has fast speed and long endurance, and beat Griffin in hurry. But they have a fierce temperament, violent bumps when flying, and a strong body odor. Therefore, it is not liked by human nobles, and most of them are used to transport goods. But at the moment Richard is eager to leave, comfort has long been put aside.
The departure of Richard is dusk. When Dawn arrives, dark blue is already in sight.
This time is different from the last time. Richard jumped lightly from Wyvern's back and moved the body a bit. The three-headed Wyvern was lying on the stone platform, tired of spitting white foam, and even the raw meat sent by the black-skinned slave was too lazy to take a look.
"Aiya! My Little Richard, why did you come suddenly!" Blackgold's voice came from far away, he got the news, and rushed from his office as soon as possible.
Now Richard has become the largest gold sponsor with the most sponsorship of the Deep Blue operation in addition to Sharon. Blackgold originally liked the Richard that was hardworking and dull, but now there are more reasons to like Richard.
In the eyes of the gray dwarf, Richard is like a super raw ore that I have never seen before.
Richard greeted Blackgold, gave him a accident/surprise hug, said with a smile: "There are some things to ask the masters, in addition, I also want to visit the teacher."
PS: Gaga always ignores it.
