The pirates left and Rex gave the order. WwW, QUaNbEn-xIAoShUO, cOm asked the magicians to perform restorative meditation in preparation for the night's battle. She brought a lot of magicians with her this time, two fifth-level magicians, more than twenty fourth-level magicians, and more than a hundred magicians below the third level. The number of magic apprentices also exceeds three hundred.
These mages were not originally prepared to participate in the battle, but were brought to the city built by Salin to expand the city's power. But now that the city is about to be attacked, the magician must provide help to the soldiers. At any time, no matter how powerful an army, there will always be casualties during a siege. Without magicians, the casualty rate would be high and morale severely damaged.
When Salin encounters a battle, he is always restrained and always tries his best. In the end, he has to rely on the three kings of the undead, but Rex just needs to make up his mind, and there are many available people around him.
After all, Rex had accumulated it for more than ten years, and with the private gift from Emperor Chanak, there was no shortage of people and money. Even in terms of equipment, Rex and Saleen looted Dragon Tooth Town and obtained a considerable amount of weapons and armor, all of which were soaked in dragon blood.
This dragon blood is a rare thing. If someone wants to kill someone, there is nowhere to go.
Rex's handwriting was shot into the city with an arrow. A soldier picked it up and gave it to the city coach Nash. Nash's father was originally a noble in the House of Lords, and he should be relatively close to Rex. However, after the death of Emperor Chanak, the House of Lords was leaderless. The emperor himself had no ability. Although he still didn't listen to Prince Sephiroth's arrangements, he still didn't listen to Prince Sephiroth's arrangements. In the case of Rex, the House of Lords completely let it go.
If we didn't believe Master Domelin's prediction before, once Emperor Chanak died, all the nobles in the House of Lords were shaken. Now as long as Sephiroth doesn't give the order to kill Rex, everyone will acquiesce in the prince's suppression of Bitter Water County.
It's just that Rex is the daughter of Emperor Chanak after all. Legally speaking, she even has the right to inherit the throne of the empire, so it is difficult for the Upper House to do so.
Sephiroth's method is indeed cunning. He blocked Rex and did not take the initiative to attack. If you attack the imperial city, it will be your fault. However, there are only two roads from the Empire through Phoenix. Even if Rex chooses another road, he will always encounter a majestic pass.
In the past, Rex could still travel by sea, and the nobles of Lianyun City were beyond Sephiroth's control. But now that Lianyun City is occupied by the enemy, Rex has no other way except through Phoenix.
Sephiroth had calculated everything, but he never expected that Rex would actually dare to attack Strandburg. Even if he knew Rex would dare to do it. No more troops could be spared. The north was in chaos. Hundreds of nobles near Lianyun City died in battle. They were all strong. However, due to the sudden attack, the small nobles had no chance to unite and were temporarily occupied by the invaders. Thousands of miles of land.
Several cities in the central part of the empire have assembled troops to form an arc-shaped defense line to control the invaders on the northern coast, but just controlling them is not enough. Sephiroth must gather more troops to attack. Otherwise, when these invaders take a rest, this loose defense line will be easily broken through one by one.
When the north was in chaos, Garulan also followed suit. About one-tenth of the troops sent out were northern nobles. Their hometowns were in danger or even lost. How could these troops have the heart to fight? The withdrawal of one-tenth of the army will also have an impact on the remaining troops. After all, the land snatched from Garulan had not been recognized by the upper and lower houses, so these nobles had no choice but to give up what they had in their hands. Quickly withdraw the army to Qin Yin.
Fortunately, the Tanggulas Empire encountered some trouble and did not pursue it. Otherwise, Qin Yin's army would have faced another huge defeat.
In order to stabilize Garulan, Sephiroth must dispatch the elite of the empire, the Royal Swordsman Battalion. These armies are the foundation of the empire and are not affected by anything. The garrison in Holy Rock City must maintain a certain number. After sending part of it to Garulan, they also have to target the coalition forces of the East China Sea countries in Lianyun City. Sephiroth really has no one to send to Phoenix anymore.
Only then did Sephiroth realize how difficult it was to manage an empire. His brother, Emperor Chanak, was much stronger than him. The only thing he can control is Holy Rock City, and outside of Holy Rock City, his influence definitely does not exceed a thousand miles.
For example, the city of Pompeii in the south is colluding with the Yunliu Empire. Sephiroth sees it and is anxious in his heart, but there is nothing he can do. If the empire is at peace, he can naturally scold the Archduke Pompey with a piece of handwriting. If the Archduke doesn't listen, he can also send troops to attack. But now, he can only watch the southern nobles messing around. The tax revenue has plummeted in the past two years, and some nobles even stopped paying taxes to Holy Rock City.
Nash, who was sent to Strandburg, was stubborn. Sephiroth used a magic circle to send a letter to him, asking him to guard the place and say nothing to let Rex cross the border. So Nash seriously armed Strandberg and was ready to fight at any time.
The soldier handed Rex's handwriting to him, and he tore it up without even looking at it. As a result, he tore it apart. The letter glowed with magic and burned directly in his hand. He was so frightened that he quickly threw it away.
"Rex! She is trying to assassinate me!" Nash was angry.
The magician beside him quickly dissuaded him and said: "General, that is a magic feedback. This letter has been copied by Rex using a magic image. Rex already knows your actions."
"So what!" Even though Nash said this, he still held back. He suddenly remembered that if he went out of the city to find trouble for Rex, he might not be able to defeat Rex's swordsman camp.
He had long heard that Rex had 20,000 elite men. Although he didn't believe how well a woman could manage the army, the number of mages in this army was several times that of an ordinary army.
He looked at Rex's camp and saw that there were at least 10,000 elite soldiers and a considerable number of auxiliary soldiers. He was not sure if he really went out to fight in the city. Although he also has a sixth-level magician beside him, it is said that Rex himself is already a sixth-level magician and has a lot of great magicians under his command.
So even if Rex scolded his ancestors outside the city, he would have to endure it. Anyway, it's freezing and snowy now, and the opponent's camp is much more depleted than our own. To keep soldiers from freezing, the daily consumption of magic materials for heating is thousands of gold coins.
Qin Yin is known as the Magic Empire, and its army is stronger than the other three empires. This is because there are a large number of magicians in the army and they also use a large amount of magic materials. The cold winter in the north will inevitably cause frostbite to some soldiers unless they are on the march. When setting up camp, all soldiers were kept warm with magic powder.
If you fight in the south, there will be magic materials to kill insects, prevent moisture, and cool down. It can be said that Qin Yin's soldiers can display normal combat effectiveness in any environment. The only price is that these materials are expensive.
"Master Sauron, do you think Rex will attack the city?" Nash suddenly became worried as he thought that the enemy was stronger than himself. He originally thought that Rex would not attack the city. But this letter reminded him that if Rex didn't attack the city, would he return to Bishui County? This time Rex brought more than 20,000 people, including 10,000 elites, as well as various auxiliary soldiers and craftsmen. To reach here from Kushui County, the cost of marching is a terrifying figure. Rex couldn't just endure it.
The gray-robed mage sighed and said: "I am a magician, and I don't want to know about the nobles' affairs."
Nash is not a fool. Although he is stubborn, he still understands what the magician means. Anyway, he couldn't disobey Prince Sephiroth's order. No matter whether Rex was determined to attack the city or not, he could only defend and would never let Rex pass.
"General!" A soldier hurriedly walked into Nash's room.
"What's up?"
"We lost a small team of scouts."
Nash was stunned for a moment, then realized that he did not send scouts out of the city to the west, but something happened to the east.
"Who did it?"
"General, the scout didn't put back the flying puppet. I don't know what happened."
"Send two groups of cavalry... plus two groups of infantry to search." Nash was a little confused because of Rex's letter, and issued an order that he regretted.
There are four brigades, a total of 800 people, and the total number of soldiers in his hands is only 5,000. If it weren't for the current situation, it would be okay for him to do this, but if these 800 people go out, they may not be able to come back.
Qin Yin's establishment included ten flag regiments in one battalion, and each flag regiment had five brigades, each with 200 people. Each brigade is divided into five squads, each with forty people. The forty scouts will be divided into five patrol teams. Each of these forty teams will be assigned a flying puppet. If a crisis occurs, the flying puppet will be released and fly directly back to the city. Or camp, report the situation.
These scouts all have the best war horses and are proficient in archery. The leader of the scouts is at least an intermediate swordsman. These forty people were divided into five teams, and all of them disappeared. Of course, they encountered Salin's army.
Salin's five hundred men all rode skeleton war horses. The barbarians had hard bows and the pirates had hard crossbows. Daniel provided command information to these soldiers on the magic chariot. How could those scouts escape the search of the necromancer? Within an hour, the battle was over.
Saleen's soldiers were hit by several arrows and had been healed. Only two of the forty scouts survived, and the rest were shot to death. We can't blame the scouts for being useless. They didn't wear iron armor, and facing the rain of arrows, they were basically going to die. Salin's soldiers are all in magic armor, and they are all blessed with magic before the battle to protect themselves from arrows. What made the scouts vomit blood even more was that the horses of these soldiers were not afraid of bows and arrows at all.
The two prisoners were caught in front of Daniel. The undead flames behind Daniel were floating and glowing green. With one word he made the two scouts surrender.
"There are more than a dozen magicians here who can detect lies. I'm asking you. If you don't tell, or tell lies, I will extract your souls and check for myself." E! ~!
