Koushi passed out and Sephiroth sent him. www, QuanBeN-XiaoShuo, and coM are all because of his stubbornness. Xinluo was willing to let Rex pass. But precisely because of his stubbornness, once he knew that he could not defend Strandburg, he suddenly couldn't bear it.
Strandburg has a garrison of five thousand troops. According to Nash's idea, if Rex wants to capture it, no matter how powerful her army is, there must be at least a one-to-one battle loss ratio. Rex couldn't afford such a price.
But he didn't expect that because he had gathered all his troops at the west gate, something went wrong on the east side.
Ge Yi was so eager to make great achievements that he rushed into the city regardless of life and death. at this time. The mage sent back by Rex to contact Daniel has not arrived yet.
The white-robed mage was accidentally assassinated by Ge Yi. Next, no one at the east gate could break through the barbarians' iron shield defense line, providing time for the arrival of the magic chariot. The magic chariot rushes into the city. The large number of mages who did not find the enemy simply released their magic and slaughtered the soldiers.
There are only about a thousand people at the east gate, and some of them are still patrolling at the top of the city. Two magic chariots blocked the ramp of the city wall and cut open the defense of the east city. Nash will divide his troops now. It's too late. The city gate was completely destroyed. Skeleton horses rushed into the city one after another.
This kind of undead creature that can suddenly be added is more suitable for fighting in the city. As soon as the last ten carts arrived, the pirates began to eliminate the remaining soldiers. The barbarian quickly put on his magic armor.
The battle at the city gate lasted for five minutes, and twelve more pirates died, and more than twenty barbarians died.
The reason for the rich results was that no one dealt with Nash's soldiers after they were injured. As soon as Daniel's magic chariot arrived, basically all the injured barbarians were treated immediately. And once the magic chariot arrived, no one on Daniel's side died again.
As soon as the east gate was broken, Ge Yi led the pirates to start a fire. They didn't know that the battle to the west had broken out, and no one could care about it.
But the fire was well set, almost half of the sky was burning red. There are too many wooden buildings in Phoenix, unlike the central part of the Empire, which has many stone houses.
Every imperial soldier in the west could see the fire rising into the sky in the east of the city. Coupled with the influence of Rex's magic, they had no fighting spirit. Nash fainted, his command failed, and everyone fought at the top of the city. Just relying on instinct.
Rex's trebuchet fired dense magic stone bullets, all of which were small stone bullets, scattered throughout the city. Nash was snatched away by the soldiers. He wasn't crushed to death, but he didn't wake up either.
Although Sauron did not leave, he did not treat Nash either. He was afraid that Nash would wake up and go crazy. If the city is lost, it is lost. There is no loss to him. Sephiroth couldn't blame him. There are too many mages on Rex's side.
Seeing sporadic counterattacks from the trebuchets at the top of the city, Rex immediately knew that there was a problem with An's command system. She did not hesitate to send siege infantry, pushing huge rolling ladders, and built up the city wall.
Rex did not fly up to fight. She was afraid that one of the soldiers would panic and shoot her with a large alchemical crossbow. The city was definitely undefendable, and Rex no longer had to take risks.
There was chaos at the top of the city, the concubine was in a coma, and the battle demons below had begun to climb up the ladder. The junior officers were disheartened.
The battle changed dramatically almost instantly. Some soldiers began to drop their weapons and surrender. Then this trend seemed to be contagious, and more soldiers simply threw away their weapons and ran directly down the city wall, but did not go far. All gathered together. Waiting for Rex to receive it.
If the enemy were from other countries, these soldiers would not do this. Rex is the king of Qin Yin County, and everyone also heard the conversation between her and Nash. No one is disgusted with Rex, and they also know that Rex will not kill prisoners. Everyone is Qin Yin.
When the soldiers supervising the battle saw this situation, they drew their swords and tried to force the soldiers to fight, but too many people surrendered. The soldiers looked at each other and secretly stopped this action.
Nash didn't say he would fight to the death before he fell into coma. If they force the soldiers at this time, they will definitely cause resentment and even lead to a mutiny.
Below the city, a brigade sent by Rex. They are all two-meter-tall giants holding giant shields. Even though the magicians are covered, sporadic arrows cannot actually hurt these mages. The purpose of these strong men is to allow the mages to command the battle calmly.
Battle golems scaled the walls and brandished weapons to drive away the soldiers. As soon as he went up, the remaining soldiers stopped resisting. They are all from the northern part of the empire. This is Phoenix, not their homeland. The people on the other side are not evil Tangulas either. But the king of his own country.
Only at this time did Rex feel settled.
Despite the arrangement of large magic circles and trebuchets. It cost her a lot of money, but no soldiers were killed. That's what Rex cares about most.
It cannot be said that the battle was without bloodshed, at least many people died in the battle in Dongcheng, and the seriously injured soldiers have not yet received treatment. Daniel doesn't care about that much. He came to break the city and greet Rex.
St? There were very few residents in the fort, and the pirates set fire to it, but few were burned to death. In fact, when they appeared, no matter how courageous the people were, they would have fled far away when they saw the skeleton war horses. Until the west gate opened and Rex's group entered Strandburg, the battle at the east gate It's not over yet. The soldiers of the Qin Empire didn't know who Daniel and the others were, so they resisted desperately.
The fighting stopped only when Rex's cavalry passed through the city and brought a magician with them, who used loudspeaker magic to loudly announce that King Rex had captured Strandburg.
The battle on Daniel's side was extremely hard. Although no one died, almost everyone was injured. This was because Ge Yi had no experience. He later ordered the pirates to attack the soldiers at the top of the city. The soldiers at the top of the city occupied the terrain and defended it. Multiple attacks had no effect.
Rex directly occupied the city lord's palace, and the surrendered soldiers were gathered in the square, surrounded by heavy cavalry. To some relief to the surrendering soldiers, Rex's soldiers did not take off their armor.
Qin Yin's clothes and armor vary according to needs. The standards are complex. The armor of the Northern Legion itself has a cold-proof function. If the armor is taken off, many of these soldiers will definitely freeze to death. Later, the heavy cavalry was replaced again, and the guards of the prisoners became pikemen.
The pikemen were not equipped with bows and arrows, so the prisoners felt more at ease. Bows and arrows were most commonly used to massacre prisoners. Because prisoners were shot with bows and arrows, it was difficult to find out from the bodies the circumstances under which the soldiers died. Everyone is even grateful to Rex. This situation is not ridiculous, but a common thing on the battlefield.
Two magic chariots were parked in the city lord's mansion. The barbarians formed a circle to protect the chariots. The mage beside Rex looked at the two chariots with envy, thinking, it would be great if this was his own.
Although the amplification effect of the magic chariot is not as good as that of the magic tower, the magic tower is more expensive, and if you are less than level six, you are not qualified to build it.
Although Sauron is already qualified to build a magic tower. But he has no money. This is the tragedy of a mage like him. He joined the army because he had no money. Originally, there would be no trouble if he followed Nash, but this time he bumped into Rex. Nash vomited blood and fell into coma, which made Sauron abnormal.
.
Every year he received tens of thousands of gold coins from Emperor Yin, but when it came time to use him, he did not help Sauron fight.
But what can be done? Ordinary soldiers dare to chop Rex with a knife, because this is a battlefield. Even in death, Rex would not seek revenge on their family. But I can't do it. I am a magician. If I dare to attack Rex, I have to face the eighth-level magician behind Rex.
Daniel met Rex, who had a sullen face, but no fire. Daniel actually killed hundreds of Imperial soldiers, and a large number of those injured Imperial soldiers were probably going to die. Or disabled. But this is a battlefield, and Daniel is here to support him.
In the hall, there was only one person standing in front of Rex, the gray-robed mage Sauron. The rest of them sat down and watched this. Sixth level magician.
Rex said: "Sang Lun, be my follower, and I won't kill Nash."
"Me?" Sauron was surprised. Then he said: "Your Highness, I am a poor mage. It will be difficult for me to make progress in this life. You should let me go. Nash has not done any harm to you, so just let him go."
"No harm caused? If there were no war bulls at the east gate, I would have to kill at least two thousand soldiers before I could pass through here. I won't kill Nash. There must be a reason, otherwise no one will dare to stop me in the future. Way to go.”
Sauron immediately understood that Rex wanted to conquer him, but he also wanted to give himself a step down. Otherwise, actually killing Nash would be a very troublesome thing for the time being. There are still hundreds of thousands of Imperial troops in Phoenix. If Sephiroth gives an order, Rex's army may be defeated.
But let go of Nash, as Rex said. The majesty of the county king is gone, and no one will take Rex seriously in the future.
But with a quid pro quo it's different. If Rex wanted to subdue a level six magician. And if Nash is let go, everyone will feel that Rex is hungry for talents and will not feel that Rex is suffering a disadvantage.
And what about yourself? For Nash's life. Surrendering Rex can be regarded as fulfilling one's final obligation to Nash.
Only then did Sauron become in awe of Rex. After all, Rex is the daughter of Emperor Chanak, so she solved this situation easily.
Zoro smiled bitterly. If he refused Rex's solicitation, he would also be responsible for Nash's death. Rex let himself go and then killed Nash. He could only live without Qin Yin in the future. Otherwise no one would give him a gold coin to hire him.
If Rex publicized this matter everywhere in order to shirk the responsibility of killing Nash, he would have to go to the Tangulas Empire to continue practicing.
What a deep scheming, what a ruthless strategy!
Just when Sauron was feeling inexplicably sad and angry, Rex said something else.
"If you follow me, I will let you advance to become a mage before you are a hundred years old."
