Chapter 170: Chapter 153: Excited Players with Swords in Their Hands

Richard looked deeply at Knowles.

A level 20 extraordinary hunter, its value was immeasurable even if it was already broken.

This generous gift was ultimately indispensable.

His tone was lucid.

“Knowles, I won’t let you down!”

The dwarf nodded in satisfaction.

He wanted to pat Knowles on the shoulder to show his satisfaction, but when he realized its height was not high enough, he was unwilling. Knowles stood on tiptoe and finally reached the top.

This made the warm scene inexplicably funny.

After satisfying his thoughts, Knowles thought for a moment and handed him a half-palm-sized crystal.

“This magic crystal contains a colossal amount of magic energy. Although your skill is powerful, the magic power limits its power.”

“At the critical moment, this thing may be more useful to you than my big baby.”

After Richard took it, Knowles said earnestly, “Young human, I have high hopes for you. Go and meet your destiny. The powerful and wise master Knowles will bless you.”

“Remember, be as brave and fearless as a dwarf!”

Richard was bewildered.

This guy completely wiped out the little atmosphere in his heart. Richard didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he waved his hand and left.

Ferguson looked at Richard, who had disappeared into the space gate, and sighed.

“Knowles, do you think we can realize our dream”

This question made Knowles fall silent.

It shook its head after a long time.

“Who knows? But there are some things that no one will do if we don’t do them…

“Whether we succeed or fail, at the very least, we have tried, worked hard, and fought hard. The needle of fate may not turn toward us… But, so what?

“Isn’t what we do to break fate? What else can make us retreat if we are not afraid of fate?”

Ferguson stared at the dwarf in a daze for a long time before he said faintly.

“How can you say that?”

Knowles was so embarrassed that he roared in anger.

“Damn bastard! You Idiot, Master Knowles is ten thousand times smarter than you! Ten thousand times!”

******

After passing through the spatial gate, a forest three to four meters tall appeared in Richard’s line of sight. It seemed to be thin and sparse due to malnutrition.

He did not rush into action because there was an indescribable danger around.

There was a troop lying in an ambush.

“I am an elder of the Scarlet Council, Richard. Mir, come out and listen to my orders!”

The voice traveled over an extremely long distance. A moment later, that sense of threat disappeared.

Not long after, surrounded by a group of soldiers who used vines to make armor, a heroic unit riding a long-horned deer approached.

The other party’s gaze was burning.

The other party holding a Scarlet Book similar to President Jones caught Richard’s attention.

“Are you an elder of the Scarlet Council?

“I feel a familiar aura…”

Mir opened the Scarlet Book and looked down at it. He then looked up at Richard, closed the book, and flipped over.

He knelt on one knee.

“Mir welcomes your arrival, elder Richard…”

Richard nodded. Ferguson had already explained the situation in the dimensional plane to him.

Mir was the main person in charge here.

A B-rank heroic unit with potential had reached the limit of this plane’s capacity — level 14.

He looked directly at the other party.

“Mir, the plan has already begun.”

He gestured to the Third Princess in his arms.

“But we are now facing the pursuit of both the Covenant of Evil and Oath of Light factions…”

He used the shortest words to inform the other party of the current situation.

Finally, he said in a deep voice.

“How many troops do you have now?”

“There are five legions, and all are level 10 to 14 elites!

“Four of them have the potential of a glorious level, and one has the potential of a crown…”

Richard heaved a sigh of relief. The information was not wrong.

With five legions, they might be able to last for a few hours…

As for completely blocking the enemy’s attack, it was almost impossible — unless there was ten times the number of troops.

No one could estimate what kind of troop the Covenant of Evil and Oath of Light factions would send…

He learned from Ferguson that the Third Princess’ dragon body was an extremely exaggerated bonus to the entire templar dragoons, and its importance was almost irreplaceable.

Without her, the battle strength of the templar dragoons would be reduced by at least 30% or even more.

“I need you to gather all your troops and defend the spatial gate. Stop the enemy at all costs!

“For the next battle, everyone, listen to my orders!”

As one of the twelve elders, he had the highest authority in the absence of his elders.

He was in charge of defending such an indispensable area of the dimensional plane, so he was ultimately the Scarlet Council’s most loyal troop.

As expected, Mir didn’t have any objections to Richard’s seizure of power and handed over command directly and neatly.

“I’ll listen to your orders… Everything, for the Scarlet Council!”

Mir’s tone softened a little as it spoke.

“Elder Richard, please head to the war fortress at the rear immediately…”

Richard shook his head.

“No, I need you to pull out all the troops in the fortress and defend the space gate.

“The enemy we are facing is not something that the fortress can defend against.

“The only thing you need to do is to stall for time. We will be safe while we hold off for 15 hours…”

“Fifteen hours?”

Mir immediately raised its head.

“As long as one of us is left, we won’t let any enemy enter!”

Richard nodded and scanned his surroundings.

“Why don’t we set up a defensive structure around here?”

“Elder Richard, the spatial crack only opened at the back. Moreover, there’s a large amount of gravel under the forest. It’ll take a lot of time to build a defensive structure… what we lack is time.”

No wonder these trees grew so thin and small…

“Wait, gravel… sand?!”

Richard narrowed his eyes slightly. After carefully sensing for a moment, he was in a great mood.

There was a large amount of gravel buried under the grass and soil.

He had an advantage in the home field!

Under his order, the large armies scattered around the plane began to gather.

Five legions. This was an extremely exaggerated power for him.

But this was not enough.

He did not hesitate to release all the troops of Twilight City from the Tibetan soldier card.

The upcoming battle was a splendid time to gain points. Even if the final mission failed, he had to earn money first.

Taking advantage of the time while they deploy the troops, Richard had all the mages bombard the earth. At the same time, he cut down the trees around the space gate and cleared the land…

When the bombardment reached three to four meters underground, a large amount of gravel and sand appeared in his line of sight.

With a thought, Richard took out the magic crystal Knowles had given him.

[Magic Crystal]

[Level: Special]

[Characteristics: 100,000 magic power has been stored. After it is used up, the magic crystal will shatter.]

[Description: A one-time use item.]

The value of this treasure was not inferior to a permanent three-star strategic treasure.

One hundred thousand magic energy points were enough for him to do many things.

After clenching the magic crystal, he lowered his head to look at the earth. The yellow sand on his body surged.

In the next moment, the deeply buried sand began to surge out.

Under everyone’s gaze, a sandstone city wall that surrounded the 100-meter-long spatial crack grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When the surrounding hundreds of meters of earth sank a large part, a 12-meter-high and 5-meter-wide wall stood in front of the 8-meter-high spatial gate.

It was like a miracle.

As a result.

As long as the enemy stepped into the spatial crack, they would face the frenzied attacks of the troop.

Richard was intensely worried when he saw this.

With a wave of his hand, the sand surged out again. And dozens of arrow towers of different heights were erected behind the wall.

A defensive fortification that looked like a hedgehog appeared in front of him.

His original plan was to hold them off for three to five hours. With the city wall, he quietly increased the time to eight hours.

By the time they dispatched the troops and completed the city wall, it was already eight o’clock in the evening… The aura left behind by the divine artifact on the Third Princess immediately gushed out.

The troop searching around when Richard disappeared for the fifth time immediately felt that aura.

They immediately turned around and swarmed over.

However, this time, the first thing the troops that had suffered a loss did was to seal off the space.

This was to prevent the enemy from using their Teleportation Formation to escape.

At this moment, the players were also excited because Richard’s traces had been exposed.

“F*ck! I just saw several levels 20 and above NPC heroes appear. Qingqiu is going to die soon…”

“Although this guy will ultimately die, to be able to hold on for such a long time is simply too ridiculous.”

“With the sword in hand, subdue Qingqiu!!”

Curse words continued…

Soon, the troops chasing Richard found the spatial crack hidden in the valley.

They immediately confirmed that Richard had escaped to the alternate dimension.

However, just as they were about to enter the alternate dimension in a rage, they discovered something enormously embarrassing.

This newly born dimension could not contain too much power.

The dimension repelled them!

They could not break in…

This was too much.

Those top-tier heroes were furious.

The Covenant of Evil faction had also arrived. They did not care so much and went straight to the point.

Some powerful existences even planned to directly destroy this dimension and let the templar dragoons commander of Templar City perish along with the dimension.

But unexpectedly, this plane seemed to have been connected to the main plane by some powerful existences using some special means, becoming a part of the main plane.

It was impossible to destroy it.

In anger and humiliation, they turned their attention to the plane stone.

But they couldn’t even enter the plane, how could they find the plane stone in the depths of the plane?

This formed an endless cycle.

They were about to kill the enemy, but they were stuck at the door… …

In anger…

The Oath of Light faction began to join forces.

In just a short hour, they built a large-scale Teleportation Formation.

This Teleportation Formation was directly connected to Templar City, and they could send troops directly from Templar City.

After that, the king of the Templar City gave the order to conquer that dimension at all costs and take back the Third Princess.

All lord players of the Oath of Light were summoned.

The players received the news that Qingqiu had been locked in a cage. Now, they were just waiting to catch him.

With the fantasy of obtaining rich rewards after completing the s-rank mission and the excitement of killing this bastard, hundreds of thousands of players began to gather to participate in this super battle…
