The Richest Man in the Heavens Starts from Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 871 Breaking the Level
Du Yu led a team of mercenaries to Hanshiling.

There is no high-end combat force in the team except for the three knights rewarded by King Arnel Buck, but there is no shortage of low-end professionals.

There are many types of people like rangers, rogues, warriors, etc., but they are not numerous.

In fact, it is normal. The original owner, Jeremy Nolan, is just an intermediate wizard. Even if Du Yu has plenty of means to conjure up gold coins, he cannot use them wantonly.

But for him, the strength of these small fry is actually not important, he is just making a relatively reasonable move.

After all, his mission is to inherit the title and expel the orcs who are causing chaos in the Hanshi Territory. He can't do everything by himself.

Klin City is not too far from Hanshi Territory, but it is nearly 800 miles away. A group of 2,000 people are traveling at a forced march speed.

In just two days, the army entered the relatively sparsely populated mountainous area.

Du Yu, who was sitting upright in the carriage, suddenly opened his eyes, released his spiritual sense to investigate, and when he saw that there were indeed no people from other forces investigating nearby, he started to move.

In an instant, he switched the Hunyuan Immortal Power in his body into magical form, and then he moved his hands to cast a mental magic that enveloped the entire army.

"Group mind control!" he shouted.

An energy of a unique frequency entered the souls of these two thousand people.

If someone observes carefully, they will find that their eyes are dull for more than ten seconds before returning to normal.

It's just that Du Yu had planted a seed of faith deep in the souls of these people. In other words, they became loyal believers who took him as their faith in an instant.

Or it can be understood as a magical version of the Mangekyō Sharingan's strongest illusion, Kotoamatsukami, a magical spell that can modify the will of others.

With Du Yu's strength as a half-step saint, he can naturally do it easily and without any sequelae.

After making some secret arrangements, the team continued to advance towards Hanshiling.

The three knights and the mercenaries unknowingly developed a feeling of admiration for the new Earl of Hanshi and became his loyal soldiers.

Perhaps because the team was quite large, the journey was very smooth.

A few days later, the group finally set foot on the territory of Hanshi Territory.

After consulting Du Yu, the knight leader Stanch Field ordered his troops to take a short rest and then march towards Falling Stone City.

The news received in the imperial capital before was that the group of orcs suddenly attacked and broke through Hanshi Castle and massacred the original owner's family. The army under the command of Lord Hanshi has regrouped in the small town of Luoshi City on the outskirts.

While accumulating strength, they waited for the kingdom's response. Of course, the most important thing was to wait for the new earl to come back and lead the army to counterattack.

It’s not that these people are loyal, but the Nolan family has a direct heir who is a talented intermediate magician.

Magicians have always been noble, and they think that even King Arnel Buck would not want to offend the Magicians Association. So Jeremy Nolan's title is stable.

Another point is that they have been branded as members of the Nolan family. In this hierarchical yet relatively closed supernatural world, the cost of changing allegiance is too high. Moreover, no matter which earl comes to Hanshi Territory, he will only trust his own people, not this group of people.

After Du Yu learned this information, he rushed directly to Luoshi City, ready to take over those troops.

Luoshi City was not far away. The army arrived outside the city in less than half a day after entering the territory of Hanshi Territory.

After seeing Jeremy Nolan's flag and family crest, the defenders of Falling Stone City immediately opened the city gates and came out to greet him.

They had long learned through the kingdom's military that Jeremy Nolan had inherited the title of earl, so they met their new master with a respectful attitude.

Du Yu exchanged pleasantries with those people in the style of the original owner, and then entered Luoshi City.

After the welcome dinner, he was sent to a luxuriously decorated room to rest.

But he didn't expect that the garrison officer would actually send his daughter, who had just turned eighteen, to his room. This shows how chaotic the Western world is.

Du Yu casually gave a command and let him enter the illusion, then he sat cross-legged on the bed and released his spiritual sense to investigate the true situation of Luoshi City.

After a moment, he had found out all the important information clearly. After thinking for a while, he used the same trick again and used "group mind control" again to bring all the people in Luoshi City under his control.

The next day, Du Yu called a meeting of the officers and finalized the plan to counterattack Hanshibao. After a short three-day rest, he led an army of 10,000 to march towards Hanshibao.

If he occasionally encountered some fleeing subjects on the road, he would order his army to rescue them. If he encountered groups of orcs that were looting everywhere, he would naturally kill them with his sword.

Du Yu obtained some valuable information from the minds of those orc captives and determined the strength of the enemy's army.

"They are just a mob. It seems that the orcs have stronger individual combat power." Du Yu murmured to himself, touching his chin.

After considering for less than five minutes, he decided to strengthen the combat effectiveness of his men.

Faced with such a small situation, this guy is not willing to take action himself. As he said before, he can kill the natives of this world in seconds but he doesn't want to kill them easily, although he is not afraid of karma.

"My Lord Earl." The three elite knights saluted in unison.

"Stanchy Field, Kirk Cardwell, Alberto Hudson, are you willing to accept the gift from this Taoist master?" Du Yu said.

Although the three of them did not understand what Daojun was, the magical mark deep in their souls made them have a fanatical worship for the Earl.

"We are willing to die for the Earl." The three men didn't know what the benefits would be, but they expressed their loyalty first.

Du Yu waved his hand and asked them to stand up. He opened the "Eye of Delusion" to observe for a moment, and then quickly reviewed the training methods for knights obtained from the Imperial Library.

Based on the elemental properties in the other person's body, he quickly tailored a new training system for them.

"Sacrifice!" Du Yu shouted softly.

As his hand movements changed, three light balls of different colors flew out from his hands and sank into the foreheads of the three people respectively.

Stanch Field's body is most friendly to the element of fire, so what penetrated into his brain was a red ball of light.

As soon as the ball of light entered his sea of ​​consciousness, he felt that he had mastered a new and very high-level knight training method in an instant.

Before he felt that he had fully digested the knowledge, Stanch Field felt himself surrounded by a ball of fire, and the burning and violent energy entered his body in an instant.

The miraculous thing was that the flames did not hurt him, but instead quickly transformed his body, making it more adaptable to the new knight training method.

After an unknown amount of time, Stanch Field's physical transformation was finally completed, and he was surprised to find that he had been promoted from a slightly stronger elite knight to an Earth Knight.

"Breaking through two major realms in a row? How amazing." Stanch Field said in surprise.

After realizing what was happening, he immediately bowed down and kowtowed to thank his new master.

After standing up, he was still thinking that even those warlocks who secretly surrendered to the evil spirits might not have such a terrifying improvement speed.

Not only him, Kirk Cardwell and Alberto Hudson's situations were almost the same. One of them had the elemental attribute of ice and the other had the elemental attribute of earth.

But no matter what kind of physique they had, they broke through the levels continuously in a short period of time and became Earth Knights, who were high-end combat forces even in the Buck Empire.

After being initiated, the three became even more fanatical in their faith in the Earl, and even worshipped him as their own god.

After artificially creating three masters, Du Yu became a hands-off boss again.

He left the military operations to them and rode in a carriage towards Hanshi Castle at a leisurely pace.

The process of the battle does not need to be described in detail. In short, when Du Yu arrived at Hanshi Castle ten days later, Stanchi Field, whom he appointed as the legion commander, was already lining up to greet him.

Needless to say, those orcs were killed by the three Earth Knights working together.

Their heads were piled up as a spectacle, waiting for the new Earl to make the final decision on how to deal with them.

Du Yu remained calm when facing the bodies of the Nolan family. After the burial, he burned the bodies and heads of the orcs as a memorial for them, which was also an explanation to the original owners.

The outcome was decided after one battle, and from then on he became the new master of Hanshi Territory.
