Chapter 215 Charm

A few days later, Richard knew what Freya wanted to do.

In this war, there was a big gap in the number of people on both sides, but in terms of quality, Richard's soldiers were better. In the city, they might be able to rely on buildings to resist, but in the wild, they were completely at the mercy of others. Freya knew this very well, so she used the same tactics she used before to create chaos everywhere.

The tactics she used before were confusion. Recently, soldiers from all the legions have betrayed. If it was just the newly recruited soldiers from the occupied areas who rebelled, it would be understandable, but it was very incomprehensible that people from the main legion that had been following Richard from the beginning to the end also rebelled. Even some male Nagas had attacked their own people, which was even more incomprehensible. After being tormented for several days, the army was in a panic. Thinking back to the time when Freya instantly confused Richard's guards during the negotiation, it was clear who was responsible.

But what method did she use to make these soldiers defect? ​​Neither the original guards nor the new soldiers could explain it clearly. These people had very vague memories of the period of defection, and it was impossible to find out the reason. There were no wounds on their bodies. The only thing they had in common was that they were all male. Richard was having a headache now. He couldn't use his divine power to protect every soldier? If so, even beating all the goddesses dry couldn't do it.

"Lord Richard. I found something very interesting today."

Primadis came over with a transparent bag in his hand. Richard saw a needle-like object in the bag.

"What is that?"

Primadis said, pinching the needle through the bag. "I found this on the back of an officer. Today, when I was patrolling, I noticed a light reflecting from the back of an officer, so I walked over and found two needles stuck in his back. I picked up one, but it melted in my hand, and I became confused. Thanks to the crystal made by Diluka, I cleared my mind. After that, I used tweezers to take out the other needle. Based on my condition, I speculated that this needle was the culprit that disturbed my army."

Richard opened the bag, and energy from between his fingers flowed through the bag. After a short while of wrapping the needle around the body, Richard said with certainty, "It seems that your speculation is correct. This contains Freya's divine power. This should be one of her attack methods, or the characteristics of the divine armor. She should have used this to control my guards during the initial negotiation. How could she use this skill instantly? By the way, this needle is stuck in an officer's body, where is that officer?"

Primadis replied, "The officer was wearing dragon scale armor, and the needle could not penetrate the armor and enter the flesh, so the needle did not dissolve and was successfully preserved by us."

"Can this defense method be mass-produced?"

"Yes." Primathis nodded heavily. "Although we don't have so many dragon scales, we have enough animal skins. The animal skins can be added to the existing soldiers' armor, which can have a certain degree of anti-shooting ability."

"Then do it as soon as possible."

"Yes, I will mobilize all officers and soldiers to sew new armor for myself."

Richard nodded. His soldiers not only performed well in battle, but were also extraordinary in life. Each of them was an excellent tailor, builder, and repairman.

"Also, mess up the Nagas and send all the female Nagas to various units. Since those who are enchanted are all men, we should use more female soldiers!"

Primadis took the order. Richard always had a vague feeling of uneasiness in his heart. Can the attack of the goddess be defended in this way?

Richard and his men acted quickly. Soldiers and officers of various legions added animal skins to their armor. Freya, who had been causing chaos in secret, had not appeared yet. Richard decided not to passively take the beating and took the initiative to attack. The main legion went straight to the capital of Fluke, and several newly formed legions were also separated to be responsible for fighting the reinforcements.

And the accident happened here.

Richard and his men have pushed to the vicinity of the capital in the past few days. There is only a medium-sized city standing in front of the capital. If they break through it, the capital will lie naked in front of them. So Richard increased the force of the attack, but something unexpected happened.

Freya, who had not been seen for a long time, came back, and standing in front of her was a group of mercenaries. This group of mercenaries came from Gretz and belonged to Richard's newly formed army. Freya's body is now constantly overflowing with divine power. Under the illumination of the divine power, these mercenaries are extremely singing. Looking at the divine power that Freya was constantly releasing, Richard knew that this group of mercenaries was finished. Unless Freya was defeated, this group of mercenaries would not get rid of control.

"All-out assault! Rush in one breath! Show no mercy!"

Richard, who came to this conclusion, ordered his troops to attack. Richard's troops were ruthless and showed no mercy to the soldiers just because they were once his comrades. This also shocked the new recruits who were ready to make a move. Richard was never soft-hearted towards betrayers, no matter what the reason was.

In this assault, Richard personally led the attack, and his whole body was filled with the divine power he had seized, protecting the soldiers behind him. As for Freya, it was difficult to launch an attack while using divine power, and launching a counterattack might cause these controlled warriors to regain their sanity. They could only choose to fight Richard head-on. The outcome of the battle was obvious. Richard once again drove Freya away, and the army was one step closer to victory.

It would be the last stronghold before the attack on the capital in a moment. Primatis came over with another transparent bag.

"Sir Richard, we have found something new."

Richard looked at the bag: "Is it an arrow this time?"

Primadis nodded and said, "Yes, this arrow was found on the mercenary we just fought. This arrow is different from the silver needle. It will not melt. This is Freya's improvement against our enhanced defense. In this way, it is difficult to protect Freya except for high-level armor. The armor of the attackers was broken. Moreover, the arrows were more powerful. None of the mercenaries we captured had any memory of what happened at that time. Those who were stabbed by the long needles still had vague memories, while those who were stabbed by arrows could not even remember some of the things that happened before. "

Richard frowned. It had come to this point. He could not retreat. He had to attack. However, Freya's new trick was very disgusting. Richard hesitated for a moment and called Onyxia.

"Primathis, now we have no choice but to attack. I will do the reconnaissance myself, and you will command the ground troops. We must take down the stronghold in front no matter what the cost!"
