After the thieves left, Reichs gave the order for the magicians to be restorative and prepare for the night's battle. wWW!QuANbEn-XiAoShUo!CoMShe 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 third level. The number of magic apprentices has also exceeded 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's blood is a rare thing, and there is nowhere to find it if others want to kill it.
Rex's handwriting was shot across the city with an arrow. A soldier picked it up and gave it to the city's coach Nash. Nash's father was 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 depleted, and the emperor himself had no ability. Although he still didn't listen to Prince Sephiroth's arrangements, But when it came to 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. But there are only two ways to cross Phoenix from the Empire, and Rex even takes another way. There will always be a great 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 that Rex dared to take action, he could not spare more troops. The north was in chaos. Hundreds of nobles near Lianyun City died in battle. They were all strong, but because of the sudden attack, the small nobles had no chance to unite. After a while, thousands of miles of land were occupied by invaders.
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 Jialoulan had not yet been recognized by the upper and lower houses. These nobles had no choice but to give up what they had in their hands and quickly withdraw their troops 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 elder 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 is definitely no more than Qianli Fanyin.
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 Pompey in a handwritten note. 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 not 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. The result of his tearing was the brilliance of magic. Ah Yi also has the right to burn in the middle of the year. 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 magic images. 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, now, 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. In the cold winter in the north, frostbite is unavoidable for some soldiers unless they are marching. When camping, all soldiers use magic powder to stay warm.
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 thought that the enemy was stronger than himself, and suddenly became worried. He originally thought that Rex would not attack the city, but this letter reminded him If Rex doesn't attack the city, why should he return to Kushui County? This time Rex brought more than 20,000 people, including 10,000 elites, as well as various auxiliary soldiers and craftsmen. Arriving here from Kushui County, the marchers The cost is a terrifying figure. Rex can'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 hurried 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 brigades of cavalry and two brigades of infantry to search." Nash was a little confused because of Rex's letter, and issued an order that he regretted.
Four brigades, a total of 800 people. The total number of soldiers in his hands was only five thousand. 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 consisted of one battalion with ten flag regiments, and each flag regiment had five brigades, each with 200 people. Each brigade is divided into five squads, each with forty people.
The forty-man scouts will be divided into five patrol teams. Each of these forty-man 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 the camp to 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 four people were divided into five teams and all 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, they were simply 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 the magic of lies. I'm asking you. If you don't tell, or tell lies, I will extract your souls and check for myself."
