Heroes of Might and Magic: Knight Chapter 44: Barrier (Elf)
Under the leadership of more than a dozen Crusaders, the last resistance of the ogres was completely suppressed, and no prisoners were left in this battle.
Firstly, because the ogres are naturally fierce, the old, weak, women and children left in the stronghold also have good fighting capabilities and resist fiercely.
Secondly, Richard does not need ogre prisoners at all. Unlike the war with his own clan, annexing other families' territories and people is also for the sake of population and territory. Ogres, a species with a cruel nature, are still It is better to eliminate them as much as possible.
The entire village was filled with the smell of blood, and the stench of ogre blood was much heavier than that of humans.
The soldiers of the Flying Bear Army did not feel uncomfortable in this smelly environment. They still cleaned the battlefield in an orderly manner and removed the corpses in an orderly manner.
I tried my best to identify the bodies of my comrades and brought them back, and dug a big pit to bury the ogres. Almost all of this ogre tribe was killed by the Flying Bear Army in the wooden village. Here, Richard took over Dayong came down and naturally ordered people to clean up the wooden village.
"Sir, everything has been dealt with"
While Richard was inspecting this wooden village, Ron, who was leading the Crusaders, walked up to Richard and reported.
"Yeah"
Richard nodded, naturally understanding what Ron had dealt with.
Although Ron is somewhat kind, he only targets human women and children. He has no pressure to attack this alien race that looks completely different from humans and feeds on humans.
"Bang"
Al, who had been following Ron to kill, suddenly knelt heavily on the ground towards Richard.
"Thank you, sir. The great revenge has been avenged. Al's wish has been fulfilled. From now on, Al's life belongs to you. Al is willing to lead the whole family and swear to serve you to the death."
Although Richard was a little confused by Al's sudden move, who is Richard?
Having experienced the baptism of the Blue Star Information Explosion Era and two lifetimes as a human being, he naturally knows what to do at this time.
To win people's hearts, you must be courteous and virtuous. Although the half-elf race seems to be a bit awkward now, but it has to be prepared for Al, a heroic unit, right?
After being stunned for a second, Richard walked forward in two or three steps and helped Al up.
Al kneeled sincerely, but Richard used the strength of the knight level to suppress and forcefully pulled Al up
"Al, from now on you will regard Ironwood City as your home, and share weal and woe with Ironwood City."
"I am willing to offer my loyalty to you."
Excited, Al put his hand on his chest again and saluted.
If Al led his people to defect to Ironwood City before because he had no choice but to find a force to rely on to keep warm, then now when Richard leads the army to exterminate the ogres to avenge his tribe, Al is truly willing to sacrifice his life for Richard. , completely returned to my heart.
For Richard, Al’s value lies in two points. First, he has a hero template, and his talent is absolutely unique. However, there was no way to obtain suitable skills in the past. Their tribe is too small after all. Insufficient inheritance, only a second-rate breathing technique, but no air entrainment technique that can advance to knighthood, which became an obstacle that restricted Al's growth.
If Al's tribe had a knight on the night of the ogre attack... Of course, it would probably be for free. Half-elves are inherently weaker than ogres, and half-elves will certainly not be ogres one-on-one. The opponent of the Demon Warrior.
But Al's growth will definitely not stop at the knights, and he can definitely be a great knight in the future. For a future great knight, it was already worthy of Richard's attention.
Not to mention that Al also has the talent of being a half-elf leader. There are nearly a hundred thousand half-elves scattered throughout the North. Although this group of half-elves are weak in frontal combat,
But after training, he will definitely be a good scout and archer. Using Al's expertise to recruit some half-elves to his command will also be a good supplement to the Flying Bear Army.
But for Richard, the most important thing at hand is to settle the main city of the barrier (elf).
In an era when elves have disappeared, it is no longer possible to find an orthodox elf castle.
If the current stronghold with a fairly obvious elf style cannot meet the requirements of the system, then Richard will have no choice but to give up the main city of the barrier (elf) in a short time.
"Quil"
"Lord Richard."
Quil, who was directing the soldiers of the Flying Bear Army to clean up the battlefield, heard Richard's call and immediately trotted to Richard.
"After packing up, we will return to Ironwood City with the Flying Bear Army. I will be back with Ron in a moment. Remember, no one is allowed to stay except the personal guards. Take them all back."
The personal bodyguards are how Richard calls the system soldiers externally. They have mysterious origins and are closely loyal to Richard. Of course, they can be called Richard's personal bodyguards.
"Yes, sir."
The upright Quill never had doubts about Richard's orders. Even if some of the orders were strange, he just carried them out. This was what Richard was most satisfied with about Quill.
Under Quill's urging, the soldiers of the Flying Bear Army quickly cleaned up the battlefield and left as a team. Al and others were also among the leaving crowd. Although they had doubts, they were not worried about this trivial matter. He came here specifically to ask Richard what he was talking about.
Watching the Flying Bear Army soldiers gradually disappearing into the forest, Richard gestured to Ron.
Understanding this, Ron immediately led his people to disperse and alert the surroundings. Of course, such a shocking thing as building a city out of thin air should be kept secret for as long as it takes. It is best that outsiders never know about it.
Calling out the system in his consciousness, Richard once again chose to place a barrier (elf) in the main city.
This time the surrounding environment changed quickly after Richard's choice, and the surrounding wooden walls were quickly replaced by stone walls.
In the center of Muzhai, basic buildings such as a meeting hall and a centaur stable appeared one after another, and then no other buildings appeared.
Sure enough, the foundation of Muzhai is too poor, and the initial buildings that appear are not as good as the main castle (human race) built in the Stone Castle.
Li Cha officially named the wooden village the apt name Linzhong City and began to check the details of the building.
Needless to say, the Assembly Hall is the foundation of the city. It can also provide Richard with fifty gold every week, which is definitely of great use. Unfortunately, the Assembly Hall cannot receive new tasks, perhaps only the Stone Castle. Only the council chambers in major cities can receive the mission.
The Centaur Stable can recruit first-level troops such as centaurs, which is definitely a timely help for Richard who lacks cavalry.
With the resources of wood and stone accumulated before, Richard was quite rich in resources. He quickly upgraded the horse stables to high-level horse stables and recruited twenty centaur leaders. A group of centaur leaders were interested in Richard. In other words, its importance is definitely greater than that of some secondary arms.
Centaurs currently only exist on the prairie in the north of the mainland. They were also one of the servants of the elves in the past.
After the collapse of the Elf Empire, the centaurs occupied the vastest grassland in the north and lived a nomadic life. They were separated from the human territory by an entire ironwood forest and a central snow mountain, so they had almost no interaction with humans. They just roughly know each other's existence.
In order to avoid being too shocking, Richard left the centaur leaders in the forest city, both as a guard force for the forest city and as a surprise force that could be used at any time.
After completing the biggest goal of placing the barrier, Richard greeted Ron and others and hurried towards the Stone Castle. At this time, Richard's mood was very similar to that of rushing to the NPC after completing the task in the game. The player who handed in the task,
After all, the task of annihilating the ogres was overfulfilled, and Richard was looking forward to the rewards given by the council.
