Ch 325: Well Aware
Baron Richard had a hint of impatience in his eyes, and frowned:
“But what?”
Andre paused when he heard this, and continued:
“However, Duke Ryan is now mobilizing more Holy Knights to the front lines, and perhaps the situation will be reopened soon.”
Andre’s speculation did not make Richard look relieved at all,
But it made his brow furrow even deeper.
Jeremy’s strength is among the best in the Holy Sun Kingdom, and even the entire Migard Region.
Just talking about cultivation level, he is already at the peak of the Western world.
Such strength can still be easily killed by the experts of the Eastern Nations, then the strength of the Eastern Nations is a bit beyond his imagination!
“How is our army preparing?”
Andre was stunned when he heard this, and did not understand why Richard suddenly changed the subject to the construction of his own army.
But he quickly reacted and replied:
“Baron, everything is normal in terms of army training. With your divine medicine, many of them have broken through to the Quasi-Knight Realm. I believe that many Knights and Great Knights will be born soon.”
Since Andre’s cultivation level reached the Great Knight, he could clearly feel the slowdown in the speed of cultivation level growth.
At the previous speed, he was afraid that he would not even have the confidence to break through to the Earth Knight.
Fortunately, the divine medicine that Richard took out not long ago, which was no different from clear water, could help him speed up his cultivation.
Although the increase was not much each time, over time, Andre had absolute confidence that he could break through to the Earth Knight Realm, and even get a glimpse of the Sky Knight’s demeanor.
The other soldiers in the military camp who drank the divine medicine were also able to embark on the path of cultivation in such a short period of time because of this divine medicine.
I believe that it will not be long before the two thousand soldiers will gradually become Knights, Great Knights, Earth Knights… and even Holy Knights!
When Andre thought of himself leading an army of two thousand Holy Knights charging across the battlefield, he couldn’t suppress the smile on his face, and his eyes were full of longing.
Richard nodded, expressionless.
He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that there were others in this world who were like him.
Especially in the distant Eastern world.
In addition, with Duke Ryan’s defeat of the Eastern Expedition Army of ten million, the two thousand troops of the Silver Wolf Territory could not give Richard any confidence to meet future challenges.
Yes, in Richard’s eyes, the Eastern Expedition had already failed.
The top power of the West fell so easily at the enemy’s doorstep, and even after so long, the Eastern Expedition Army had not broken through the enemy’s first strategic pass, but suffered heavy losses.
In this situation, can the Eastern Expedition really continue?
Richard took a deep breath and temporarily put aside these thoughts in his mind.
Now the Silver Wolf Territory is still in a state of disrepair, and even the sovereignty of the territory in his hands is incomplete. There is no need to think so much about things that are not important to him now.
Thinking too much is a kind of distress.
“The other three knights shouldn’t have focused their attention on us yet, right?”
“Baron, please rest assured, our two thousand people usually go out for normal drills in the military camp, and rarely move around outside. It is impossible for anyone to discover the abnormality of the army without our knowledge.”
Hearing Andre’s guarantee, Richard nodded in satisfaction and encouraged:
“Very good, when our two thousand troops are promoted to Knights, and you are promoted to Earth Knight, it will be time for us to take action against those parasites. I am looking forward to the arrival of that time.”
“Yes, Baron!”
——
Half a month later.
Southwestern border of the Zhou Kingdom.
In Duke Ryan’s Eastern Expedition Army camp, there came a dozen unfamiliar faces whose aura was extremely powerful compared to the surrounding soldiers.
“Duke, has Lord Jeremy really sacrificed himself?”
One of the unfamiliar faces looked at Duke Ryan, who was sitting at the head, with a solemn expression and asked.
Even though the dozen or so people present were all experts at the Holy Knight level, Jeremy’s strength could still rank among the top five among them.
Such a master was actually beheaded by the enemy on the spot.
Moreover, I heard that it took no more than a minute from beginning to end, which is very outrageous!
If the enemy has this strength, is there any need to continue this Eastern Expedition?
Everyone heard this person’s words and looked at Duke Ryan with worry, hoping to get an answer from him.
Maybe what’s outside is just a rumor?
Duke Ryan looked at the expressions of the people around him, his face was livid, but he did not get angry and burst into abuse.
Although these people are very cowardly and want to run away when they encounter something.
But this is also human nature. After all, they have been enjoying the peak of power for so long, and it is not impossible to be greedy for life and afraid of death.
Understand.
Understand.
Duke Ryan understood them very well.
“Don’t worry, the enemy is not as powerful as the rumors outside. In essence, they are only a little stronger than Jeremy. Otherwise, our Eastern Expedition Army would have been wiped out by the other side long ago.”
Duke Ryan restrained the anger in his heart, showed a confident smile, and talked eloquently.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Holy Knights who were staring at him all breathed a sigh of relief.
Since the opponent is only a little stronger than Jeremy, then naturally there is no need to worry.
Not to mention that there are so many Holy Knights present, forming a numerical suppression of the enemy.
But there are three of them who can steadily win against Jeremy, and there are three or five others who can fight Jeremy evenly.
Even if the enemy can kill Jeremy alone, it is impossible to escape from the hands of their dozen Holy Knights.
At this moment, everyone’s faces were filled with confident smiles.
As for the rumors from the outside world?
Just kidding, how many truths can there be in the mouths of those ignorant soldiers!
It’s just that no one noticed the obscure gaze in the depths of Duke Ryan’s eyes.
“Since you are all greedy for life and afraid of death, then let you die reasonably. When you die, the resources you leave behind can cultivate a new batch of seedlings to grow!”
As the war progressed to this point, Duke Ryan had long noticed something was wrong.
Especially when he personally went to the front line not long ago to check the battle situation, he clearly saw that the enemy was basically acting like they were on vacation, and even didn’t bother to act, and the impatience on their faces was clearly visible.
The soldiers under his command were being teased like cats and dogs, and finally brutally killed.
It doesn’t matter if some soldiers die, the key is that those noble officers don’t go into battle themselves, and they don’t believe the words of the soldiers below. They just cover up the information.
If he hadn’t had a whim, he might not have known about this until now.
