Lord Harland

After meeting with the covenant party, Richard led the army led by Harland and stayed at Auxerre Castle for a while.

On June 15th, it was time to open the plane channel.

The red moon plane channel is different from the azure plane channel. It does not require a special key to open, and there are no legendary fourth-level magic props to act as formation eyes.

Opening the passage to the Red Moon Plane is relatively simple. It only requires three thousand magic crystals, placed on the altar of the Goddess of Dawn.

Under normal circumstances, the red moon plane channel is opened twice a month, usually on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. When the red moon plane channel is opened, it will last for more than an hour to facilitate the rotation of personnel.

The Red Moon Plane Channel is established at the headquarters of the Church of Dawn, not too far from the Goddess Cathedral.

The passage in the red moon plane is about four meters high and less than two meters wide. It is made of white marble with complex magic runes carved on it. If you look closely, you will feel dizzy.

Small stone platforms were built on both sides of the passage, with two flames burning on them. The flames contained powerful divine power, and Richard felt familiar with this divine power.

Arriving in front of the two sacred fires, Richard suddenly felt a warm feeling. He thought to himself: "It looks like it should be the Divine Fire of Dawn. Judging from the activity of the Divine Fire, the goddess is not far away from waking up."

Because the plane passage is relatively narrow, large creatures such as trolls, giants, and large monsters can hardly pass through this narrow passage and enter the red moon plane.

After the plane channel was opened, balls of dazzling white light bloomed, and powerful space energy continued to leak out in the blink of an eye.

In this environment, spatial magic instantly fails, and the small extra-dimensional space opened by the magician will also be blown away by the huge space energy. Even lower-level space bags will be torn apart by space turbulence.

Only legendary and above space equipment can withstand the turbulence of space and carry supplies into the red moon plane.

After the plane channel was opened, groups of people quickly walked out. These people are almost all officers and clergy, most of them are from the Holy Radiance Empire, and a small number are from the Kingdom of Palame.

At the end of the team, there were a large number of wounded. Richard made a rough calculation and found that a total of more than 500 people had been evacuated from the red moon plane.

After the last wounded person was evacuated, Richard, Sophia, and Sylph led the first group of soldiers and entered the red moon plane through the plane passage.

When passing through the plane portal, it feels similar to passing through the magic teleportation array. There will be a brief blank in consciousness, and there will be some dizziness and memory confusion in the mind.

Even if you open your eyes wide during the teleportation, you can only see dazzling white light and messy light. Sometimes your eyes will be burned when staring at this milky white light. In fact, during the process of passing through the teleportation gate, It will be more comfortable to close your eyes and relax.

Richard has passed through the plane passage many times and has relatively rich experience, but this time he passed through the plane passage, which felt a little longer than the previous times. In fact, the extra minute or two has already exceeded the limit of measurement. of distant space.

At the other end of the portal, at the apex of the plane space, the ancestors of the Church of the Dawn have built a huge city, controlled a large area of ​​land, and had a very strong stronghold.

After passing through the passage of the red moon plane, Richard took the soldiers to rest for a while and adapt to the new environment, and soon met the greeting personnel.

Although it was the first time for Richard and others to enter the Red Moon plane channel, they were reminded by the pastor of the Dawn Church that they had made preparations in advance. Of course, they would not bring low-level space props near the plane channel and let the space energy tear them apart.

Low-level space props are also expensive magic props. A magic prop in one cubic meter of space is worth more than a few hundred gold coins. Only senior mages and officers of mid-level knight blood in the Harland Territory will equip low-level space props. Space props.

Before entering the plane passage, Richard had ordered that these low-level space props be cataloged one by one and handed over to Soros and the remaining personnel for safekeeping.

Except for the legendary space props carried by Richard and Sophia, the supplies of the army led by Harland were packed in strong wooden barrels and carried by the officers and soldiers with their bodies.

This kind of wooden barrel weighs three hundred kilograms. Most of the barrels inside are weapons and equipment, standard magic crystals, super magic metals and alchemy bombs. Only powerful professional soldiers can carry it easily. As for ordinary supplies, the red moon plane can provide them, and there is no need to replenish them through plane channels.

This time through the plane passage, because the time left for them was relatively short, Harland led the army with only about 300 soldiers. Such a small force could only guard an advancing stronghold at most.

After entering the red moon plane, Richard looked up and found a red moon hanging high in the sky. There was a faint white light blooming above the red moon, giving it a sense of desolate beauty.

After Richard, Sophia, and Sylph entered the red moon plane, they quickly met Count Truss, the commander of the Holy Radiance Empire.

On the other side of the plane passage is the central stronghold controlled by the Dawn plane. This place is called Luin Castle and is the capital of the Dawn Papal State.

Although the Holy Radiance Empire has a hundred thousand troops stationed in the Red Moon Plane, it is not the dominant force in the Red Moon Plane. The most powerful armed force in the Red Moon Plane is the Knights of the Church of the Dawn.

The Church of Dawn has deployed almost half of its armed forces in the red moon plane. The number of knights exceeds 30,000, with dozens of professionals above the ninth level. There are also three legendary knights and two legendary warriors in command. Knights Templar.

This Temple Knights is an all-professional army with extremely powerful combat capabilities, far exceeding the ordinary legions of the Holy Radiance Empire. This kind of all-professional Warcraft cavalry only needs 20,000 to 30,000 to cripple millions of legions from the eastern countries.

In addition, the legendary third-level magician Cardinal Racine of the Church of the Dawn, and the legendary first-level priest Archpriest Berto are almost always stationed in the red moon plane.

A total of seven of the sixteen legendary professionals of the Dawn Church are on the red moon plane. It can be said that the power directly under the Church of Dawn is the backbone of suppressing the Red Moon Plane.

In addition to the forces directly under the Church of the Dawn, the Holy Glory Empire also has five main legions stationed in the Red Moon plane, with an army of 100,000, and three legendary professionals. Count Truss is a legendary second-level knight and a Holy Glory. The commander-in-chief of the empire in the red moon plane. The other two legends are both warriors, and their combat power is weaker than that of Count Truss.

In addition to the Church of the Dawn and the Holy Radiance Empire, the Red Moon Plane also has some pilgrim forces, mainly military forces sent by countries that believe in the Goddess of the Dawn, led by the Kingdom of Palame, with a total of more than 100,000. This group of people is relatively dispersed. They are basically stationed at the front line and are responsible for guarding the first line of defense. They are considered cannon fodder and line-filling troops. The legendary knight Duke Dart is their commander.

Overall, several companies have jointly stationed more than 200,000 troops in the red moon plane, with 11 legendary professionals. This force is already very impressive, and is stronger than the military forces of the eastern powers such as Grant and Lane.

In addition, there is the Dawn Church headquarters near the plane passage, and the capital city of Palame is not far from the plane passage. There is sufficient backup force. Even if the situation in the Red Moon plane changes, there is no danger of falling for the time being.

Because the Holy See of Dawn is the dominant force in the Red Moon Plane, the influence of the Holy See of Dawn in the Red Moon Plane is far greater than that of the Holy Empire of Radiance.

The territory controlled by the Holy Radiance Empire is also nominally under the jurisdiction of the Holy Dawn Papal State, but it is more independent than countries such as Palame.

The Papal State of Dawn has more than 3.6 million square kilometers of land in the Red Moon Plane, of which the Holy Glory Empire is allocated 1.6 million. In recent years, because the resistance in the Red Moon Plane has become stronger and stronger, and the losses have increased, the Holy Glory Empire has lost money in operating this plane, and has gradually made plans to shrink.

However, due to the cooperative relationship with the Goddess of Dawn, retreat and contraction also require an opportunity. Seeing the rise of the Grant Kingdom, Emperor Edward decided to let Richard lead the army led by Harland to the Red Moon Plane to act as cannon fodder and fill the front line.

Earl Truth had received an order from Edward VII of the Holy Radiant Empire in advance, and knew that Richard from Harland would be his replacement to station in the Red Moon Plane. After Richard's troops replace Earl of Truth and gain a firm foothold in the red moon plane, Edward VII will crown Richard.

Even if Richard dies in the red moon plane in the future, the Holy Radiance Empire will recognize the Haaland family's right to rule the territory under its jurisdiction.

In fact, most of the founding monarchs of the eastern countries need to pass this level, and only half of them can complete the mission of the Holy Radiant Empire.

According to the information obtained by Richard, the red moon plane is also a world with stars, planets, and satellites, and can be regarded as a planetary plane.

However, the area of ​​the red moon plane is not very large. The size of the planet is much smaller than that of the earth in Richard's previous life. The land area is only 30 million square kilometers, about half of which is still in the polar ice sheets, which is suitable for human survival. The land is less than 20 million, which is slightly larger than Russia in Richard's previous life.

Such a small land area is divided into three continents, and the richness of products is far less than that of the Dawn Plane.

The physical rules of the Red Moon Plane are similar to those of the Dawn Plane. Magic energy particles are highly active. According to the rough calculation of the magic tide theory, it will take 20,000 to 30,000 years for the next magic power to decline. Even gods may not be able to do so. Can survive until then.

Although gods have infinite lifespans, they will encounter various catastrophes. In fact, less than half of the gods have a lifespan of more than 10,000 years.

Truss was considered the first earl of the Holy Glory Empire. Like Richard, he was self-made and spoke and acted more directly than the established nobles.

After taking Richard to his military camp, Truth directly opened a map and said to Richard: "Since your Excellency the Duke has come to the red moon plane, let's first choose a base to stay!"

Richard scanned the map and found that there were dense red dots on the map.

The Church of Dawn and the Holy Empire of Light have operated on the Red Moon Plane for more than three thousand years. They once controlled the Red Moon Plane and have a very good understanding of this plane.

There are three continents in the Red Moon Plane. The Gothic Continent in the north has been infected by the undead and is now almost uninhabited. Half of the central continent of Deen is controlled by the Dawn Plane, and the remaining half is in the hands of the indigenous Red Moon Holy See. The southern continent of Hagen fell into the hands of the indigenous Oro Empire hundreds of years ago. Now a demonic disaster has broken out, and the power of demons is very active.

Nowadays, the situation in the Red Moon Plane is very tense, and the competition for the Deen Continent is already very fierce. There are more than a thousand strongholds on the two thousand kilometers from east to west.

The military forts, strongholds, and military stations on the front line formed a tight and solid defense line.

Richard stared at the map carefully and took the initiative to choose a stronghold close to the front line.

Seeing that Richard had chosen a frontline stronghold, Truth advised: "Duke, do you want to change? The army led by Harland has just arrived, and he is not used to it in many aspects. The climate and gravity here are somewhat different from the Dawn Plane. There are many differences between them. The newly arrived soldiers will suffer from serious diseases, some of which are also contagious, and without sufficient treatment power, it will be quite troublesome to deal with them."

Richard thought for a moment and finally decided to choose a frontline stronghold to adapt to the war in the red moon plane as soon as possible.

"Although our first echelon is small in number, only 300 members, we have 60 magicians and ten priests inside. The treatment power is very sufficient, and diseases will not be a trouble for us. The reason why I chose the frontline stronghold is In order to adapt to the war as quickly as possible, our team not only has high-level professionals, but also has a legendary knight, who has enough power to protect the frontline stronghold.

Choosing a frontline stronghold is still a trivial matter. The most troublesome thing now is that our handover speed is too slow. Each time the plane portal is opened, only a few hundred soldiers can be rotated. If the teleportation array is opened twice a month, less than a thousand soldiers can be rotated. It may take ten years to complete the rotation of 100,000 troops. "

After listening to Richard's words, Truth thought for a moment and shook his head in embarrassment.

"The portal in the Red Moon Plane is very strong. As long as we have enough magic crystals, we can open the portal once a day. But with such high intensity of consuming magic crystals, we simply can't sustain it. Opening a portal once a day, one More than one million magic crystals are consumed every year. Even if Emperor Edward opens his treasury, he will not be able to sustain such a high investment in one year.

If the Duke wants to speed up the rotation, I think the number of times the portal can be opened can be increased, such as three times a month, but in this case, the Duke will also have to provide part of the magic crystals to increase investment. "

Richard calculated the magic crystal reserves that Harland had received and how quickly the magic crystals were being consumed, and he happily agreed to Truth's request. Promise to spend 10,000 magic crystals every year and share part of the investment to increase the number of plane portal openings to three times per month.

If the handover of personnel is organized and a plane portal is opened, Harland's soldiers will be able to increase by about 500 people.

Now the first echelon led by Harland is divided into three parts. Sutton commands the magic fleet and is responsible for personnel transportation. Thoros commands the remaining soldiers and waits for transmission at Auxerre Castle. Richard and Sylph lead the advance team. Entered the red moon plane and headed to the forward stronghold. Richard's adjutant Green took a dozen soldiers and stayed in Luyin Castle, which was regarded as Harland's stay at the headquarters.
