Whether it succeeds or not, it will only be good for him.

Richard could not estimate the closeness between the Winter Holy Land and Nehecha.

According to existing information, although Winter Holy Land has always maintained neutrality, it has inevitably maintained a very close relationship with the Cha family due to geographical factors.

Therefore, he could only choose to suffer this hidden loss, pretend that everything tonight did not exist, and try not to drag the Winter Holy Land down.

"It seems that you are indeed difficult to deal with."

The seven-ring space spell [Mirror Broken] was lifted by Richard, and the assassins regained their freedom.

They thought that Richard planned to let them go due to the pressure from the Winter Holy Land.

"I don't want to anger some people in the Winter Holy Land, but I also can't show too much weakness. After all, you have indeed violated the laws of the Midden Territory. The majesty of the Grand Archon and Clintina cannot be offended. This is the bottom line."

The mana in Richard's hand began to build again, and another kind of chanting began again.

"You need to completely disappear from Midden Territory and never appear again. This will be good for everyone. As for whether you can survive...at least I gave you a chance."

As the chanting ended, huge space energy focused on his palm, and a swirling singularity appeared out of thin air.

Seven-ring space spell——[Exile from multiple planes to other worlds]

The next second, all the assassins, dead or alive, were pulled into this singularity, and were randomly exiled to another plane by Richard.

Richard immediately looked exhausted and sat down on the ground.

The continuous release of two seventh-level spells really made him a little tired.

Space spells consume far more magic power than spells of other genres.

"It's been drained, not a drop left. I originally wanted to find Mrs. Eve tonight, but alas, I can't get up, not at all."

Chapter 3: Clintina, it’s you as expected, you are the only one facing the headwind

Weiwei came to the second floor in her pajamas, holding a magic wand in her hand: "Richard, are you okay?"

Richard said with concern: "It's all solved, what about you? Are you injured? Mainly Mrs. Eve and Veroka."

"Don't worry, those assassins are very weak. I burned them to dust. No one was hurt." Weiwei looked frightened and trembling, but her attacks were more decisive and ruthless than Richard's.

Those assassins were evaporated by the high temperature in the physical sense almost the moment they stepped onto the third floor, including the assassins who maintained the forbidden magic realm outside the attic.

This low-level forbidden magic field is completely unable to stop a genius mage like Weiwei whose lethality is comparable to that of a legend.

Underneath Weiwei's seemingly timid and weak appearance, there is a terrifying energy that even the Imperial Army is in awe of.

Richard knew Weiwei well and understood that this girl, who was almost from a military background, was just habitually restrained and cautious, and did not need to be comforted by himself.

I have witnessed it with my own eyes. If Weiwei really goes crazy on the battlefield, she will not be much worse than Lilinu. It may even be far more lethal, attacking one enemy without distinguishing between friend and foe.

After all, the only thing that the Evocation Masters study every day is how to destroy faster.

As for protection, that's something only weaklings care about.

"Hey, common man Richard, why didn't you ask about me? How rude!"

Clintina had already put on her skirt and armor, and there was still some blood stains on her face that could not be wiped off in time. The armor and sword were also dirty, and she was limping. It seemed that she had experienced a hard battle.

Richard stared at her and asked with confusion: "Then what did you do? Didn't Weiwei kill all the enemies?"

Clindina looked a little embarrassed: "Well, hum! You'd better stop asking."

Mrs. Eve, who was woken up, also ran downstairs and said helplessly: "Clintina noticed that there were enemies outside the attic, so she rushed down. Her feet sprained when she landed, and she even crashed into a pile of corpses. She almost died. Will be cremated together with Weiwei."

Richard praised: "As expected of you, Clintina, this will do!"

Everyone was fighting with the wind, but only one person was in the headwind and became the only casualty.

Clintina glared at Richard and said, "It was just an accident. I thought I could do it, but something was always wrong."

Feite looked at the girls running down one by one and rubbed up against Richard, feeling a little uncomfortable and said, "Well, Mr. Richard, am I a little redundant?"

"Of course not, we still have to talk about some serious business." Richard greeted the girls to go back upstairs to rest, while he stayed to discuss follow-up matters with Feite.

Richard had a good impression of this consul who was about the same age as himself. After he was killed by a knife, he could still act like a man in the face of the threats of assassins. This was quite a contrast to his image as the son of a wealthy businessman. .

In any case, Feite did not choose to betray, which made Richard relieved.

Feit was the first official with real power besides Nanalia that Richard came into contact with.

And most importantly, he is a qualified great consul.

As Midden Territory's most numerous "frontier official" on two hands, and being able to be dispatched by Nanalia to the Ice Rin Valley, the core and central area of ​​Midden Territory, he is obviously worthy of trust.

There is no doubt about Fite's ability, and Richard wouldn't mind discussing some next countermeasures with him.

It's always fun and easy to work with smart people.

"But to be honest, I never thought that Nehecha would dare to directly attack Miss Clindina, even with the help of these Sauron assassins." Feit quickly entered the working state, and he said seriously after thinking. , "In my opinion, Nehecha is not an impatient person, which is abnormal."

"Could it be that these Sauron assassins are just his fanatical followers, so everything tonight is a spontaneous act of support?" Richard guessed, "If this is the case, it is worth investigating. I must know Nehecha The status in the hearts of the residents of Binglin Valley.”

If Nehcha is really killed against the public opinion of the entire Binglin Valley, although it can temporarily solve the problem of rebellious nobles and attempted rebellion in Binglin Valley, the subsequent impact will be endless.

A Binglin Valley who is full of hatred for the Duke's Palace and may be incited to rebel at a critical moment is definitely not the result Nunalia wants.

This is why Nunalia chose to ask Richard to come forward in person and ask him to solve the problem properly.

As the true geographical center of Midden Territory, Binglin Valley is located at the exit of the Northern Xinjiang Corridor, connecting Warm Winter City and the Southern Wilderness to the south, and the two key cities of Beifeng Castle and Howling Peak to the north.

It is an important military and transportation town that controls the lifeblood of the Midden Territory.

Compared with Warm Winter City, which guards the southern gateway of Midden Territory and is close to the hinterland of the empire, Binglin Valley is the capital of the province in the hearts of more northern Xinjiang people.

The terrain of Midden Territory is unique, and the overall habitable plateau area is in a "Y" shape.

Binglin Valley is at the intersection of the center, and Warm Winter City is just a relatively low-altitude super-large city located at the southernmost tip of the Midden Territory, next to the Noon Mountain Fortress.

It can be said that Warm Winter City is almost a piece of meat forcibly torn from the southern Nord Territory. In a sense, it is only the end of the Northern Territory and the starting point of the Great Plains.

The empire is broadly divided into temperate zones and cold zones, and the latitude of Warm Winter City is this dividing line.

Although Warm Winter City is one of the largest super-large capitals in the empire, its total area, including the surrounding small satellite cities and villages, only accounts for less than one-tenth of the entire Miden Territory.

The remaining nine-tenths of the area is at the end of the Northern Xinjiang Corridor - the vast Northern Xinjiang north of Binglin Valley.

During the early days of Middenland, the first Duke An actually did not occupy Warm Winter City.

At that time, the capital of the Midden Territory was the Bingling Valley, and it was divided and governed from the Nord Territory using the narrow Northern Territory Corridor as the boundary.

Later, when the Silver Moon Alliance was upgraded to an empire, the Nord Territory occupied the entrance to the Northern Xinjiang Corridor and repeatedly blocked the caravans from entering the Ice Forest Valley in an attempt to suppress the Midden Territory through economic means.

Later, Duke An had no choice but to declare war on Nordland, and with great difficulty, he captured the former site of Warm Winter City between two mountains at the entrance of the Northern Xinjiang Corridor, which was just a frozen village at that time.

In order to avoid being classified as a barbarian tribe in the northern frontier by the empire, and in order to completely occupy the golden area of ​​Warm Winter City that was like spring all year round, Duke An at that time had no choice but to move the capital.

So Warm Winter City was established and became the capital of Midden Territory.

Facts have proved that this decision was very correct, and Anjia successfully became the legal grand duke of the new empire.

Warm Winter City also relied on its warm climate and resource tilt to develop rapidly. Within a few years, it overtook Binglin Valley and became a famous and prosperous city in the empire.

But Nuan Dong City is too far away from Northern Xinjiang after all.

Because the geographical location is too far away from Northern Xinjiang, it is gradually difficult for Anjia to effectively manage Northern Xinjiang.

This led to the later troubles of delegating power to the aristocrats to manage Northern Xinjiang, which directly led to the aristocracy headed by the Cha family becoming bigger in Northern Xinjiang.

It also directly led to the Cha family having been entrenched in Binglin Valley for countless years and almost becoming the local emperor here. Even Nunalia needed to slow down her temper to slowly deal with them.

After all, if there is a rebellion in Binglin Valley at the end of the Northern Xinjiang Corridor and the starting point of Northern Xinjiang, then with the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain of the Northern Xinjiang Corridor, Binglin Valley can almost completely cut off the connection between Nuandong City and the entire Northern Xinjiang.

By then, if [Northwind Castle] and [Howling Peak], which are far away in the northeast and northwest corners of Midden Territory, choose to surrender under pressure, Nuan Dong City will be in an extremely embarrassing situation, and the reputation of the An family's Grand Duke will be even more powerful on the outside.

Binglin Valley is really going to be ruthless, take North Wind Castle and Howling Peak to close the door and establish themselves as kings in the northern border. Not to mention Anjia, even the entire empire can't do anything to them.

Invading northern Xinjiang?

That is impossible!

There is no shortcut to enter Northern Xinjiang from Nuandong City, you can only take the Northern Xinjiang Corridor.

If a large number of troops or a small number of legendary powerhouses pass through such a narrow terrain, they will almost always be killed.

There was also a winter holy land, and the powerful people there made the An family feel frightened many times.

This too loose weak magic organization hides a few old guys who can tear apart dragons with their hands, and I'm afraid even Nunalia doesn't know about it.

Moreover, the starting point of most of the pioneers, rangers and border guards is almost certainly in the Ice Ridge Valley, which can be said to be the heart of the Midden Territory.

So to put it simply, the two cities, Binglin Valley and Warm Winter City, have clearly defined responsibilities.

Warm Winter City is responsible for guarding the southern gateway of the Midden Territory, connecting with the internal politics of the empire, and then ruthlessly making money.

Binglin Valley is responsible for the training of pioneers, rangers and provincial legions, and transports them to various parts of northern Xinjiang to open up wasteland or garrison, while also managing the Winter Holy Land, and then spends money heavily.

As for the North Wind Castle and the Howling Summit in the far north, east and west, each has its own special complexities. Although they have the same detached status, at least Nanalia has effective jurisdiction over them.

So in general, Binglin Valley is the lifeblood of the Midden Territory.

The warm winter city in the south was lost, and the An family of the Midden leader still had a chance to retreat to the northern border and make a comeback.

If the Binglin Valley in the center is gone, then it is really gone. Miden will immediately fall into a dilemma of being divided into four, with almost no possibility of recovery.

The various archdukes within the empire would no longer sit back and watch the emergence of a complete Midden Territory.

This is also the reason why Richard chooses to be cautious. He prefers to use as gentle a means as possible to solve the problem in Binglin Valley and not use force unless absolutely necessary.

But if Binglin Valley is really seriously ill, then even if it means wiping out the entire city, there will be no hesitation.

A Binglin Valley that has been reduced to ruins is better than a Binglin Valley where all members are in rebellion.

Feite thought for a long time, then looked at Richard, a little confused: "Mr. Richard, there is no doubt that Nehcha does have great prestige in Binglin Valley. After all, he has indeed made the lives of the residents here much better." .”

"Um? Are you talking about receiving taxes after 80 years?"

"Well, if I said that the tax was actually collected by Madam Nunalia, would you believe it?"

"Huh?" Richard was stunned for a moment. He suddenly lost his composure and was filled with shock.

In his impression, although Nunalia's methods were a little more ruthless, she was not capable of doing such a simple thing.

Instead she has been advocating lower tax rates and loan interest rates.

Richard confirmed again: "You really didn't lie to me? Are you really not the spy sent by Nehcha?"

"Yes, although I am not very willing to admit it, these are all recorded in the file left to me by the previous consul." Fite also had a grimace on his face, "You know, Nunalia is I slowly started trying to control the Midden Territory more than ten years ago.”
