Salin didn't have time to think. Even if he did, he couldn't understand why things were like this. What could these swordsmen get for risking their lives to attack?
At the crossroads, Silva was surrounded. She didn't feel any fear, but was instead very excited.
Her body was a hundred times more agile than Salin's, and the flying arrows couldn't threaten her at all. Silva didn't think as much as Salin. She only knew that fighting had nothing to do with anything. On the battlefield, the only thing you could do was kill the enemy. Her weapon was even heavier than the construction puppets'. Even the thickest metal armor couldn't stop her. Silva even had time to throw boomerangs to kill the archers shooting from above.
In this kind of chaotic battle, even cavalry couldn't speed up. Someone with great strength like her became the master of the battlefield.
Excited, Silva took out the magic liquid Rex gave her with one hand and drank a small mouthful. She felt her strength recover quickly. Like a whirlwind, she rushed back. The alchemy crossbow had already been destroyed. She had to return to Salin's side.
The swordsmen surrounding Salin could still hope that Salin would run out of magic strings or run out of spiritual power, but Silva's fierce charge made them feel fear. This female warrior was only wearing leather armor, but she was even more terrifying than a magical beast. When she swung that black staff, they would be smashed away.
This wasn't a battle, but a massacre.
Everyone knew that no matter how fierce this female warrior was, she couldn't kill everyone. But Silva killed one with a single blow. This was even more shocking than killing with magic. Seeing Silva rush back, the swordsmen in front of her all gave way. Shika charged forward like an earth dragon, sweeping away anyone who stood in her way.
A long metal whistle sounded. The swordsmen surrounding Rex and the others felt their morale drop. At this moment, they actually received the order to retreat.
"Want to leave?" Rex sneered. He drank a mouthful of magic liquid and relaxed his body. He commanded the construction puppets to chase after the retreating swordsmen. Nelis commanded the construction puppets to Rex's side. She didn't participate in the chase, but protected Rex instead.
"Stop!" A deep voice came. At the crossroad ahead, a tall, middle-aged man walked toward Rex, surrounded by hundreds of swordsmen in silver armor.
Rex didn't listen to what he said. The tall metal puppets chased after the swordsmen and smashed them into meat paste. Even the Pope couldn't heal the injuries of being hit by a golem.
It was too late to stop now. Since the other party had used the alchemy crossbow, it meant that they wanted to kill Salin and the others, leaving only Rex alive. Rex was a level-six Mage, and it was hard for him to be killed by the alchemical crossbow. How could Rex not understand the crux of the matter? The people of Dragon Tooth Town had received news from Pang Pei and wanted to capture him alive.
If he was captured alive, his fate could be imagined.
"Rex, do you really think I can't kill you?!" The middle-aged man drew his sword angrily and shouted at Rex, "I still have 150 swordsmen. If you don't stop, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Rex finally stopped. The swordsmen nearby had all been killed. If he placed the construct puppets too far away, it would consume a lot of spiritual power. It was already very strenuous for her to command 10 at the same time.
Suddenly, Shika turned around and threw a boomerang. The boomerang made a strange whining sound and went straight for the middle-aged man's face.
The silver-armored swordsman beside the middle-aged man waved his sword to block it. The boomerang hit the longsword and slid past like a loach. It circled around the silver-armored swordsman's neck and flew back to Shika's hand.
"Your swordsmen are dumber than pigs." Shika waved her club at the middle-aged man before running towards Salin.
The silver-armored swordsman's neck was cut open. His spine wasn't injured, but he wouldn't survive. He covered his throat with his hand, but blood was gushing out. The strength in his body seemed to have been sucked out, and he fell to the ground.
This was the first time that Shika had used the power of a priestess in battle. The spiritual power left in the boomerang could be controlled freely and ambushed a swordsmen. This made her very happy. When she could use the bones of the mysterious magical beast, she would be able to fight in the sky. A battle priestess who could fly was no weaker than a Mage.
Seeing his subordinate die, the middle-aged man's face twitched. He held it in and said to Rex, "You want to force me?"
"Let me think about it." Rex smiled and checked his condition carefully. She had used less than one-third of her spiritual power. But this was already terrifying enough. She had only used one spell and controlled the puppet to fight for less than 10 minutes. During battle, the puppet seemed to use up spiritual power very quickly. This was completely different from usual practice.
Salin gave up on commanding the puppet and let it stand beside him. He also realized that spiritual power was being used up. If it was an ordinary level-4 Mage controlling the puppet, he wouldn't be able to use any spells now.
"If you let me go, how are you going to explain to Dominic?" Rex wasn't in a hurry. She was recovering her spiritual power patiently. Even though she couldn't meditate now, she had all the equipment she had, so her spiritual power naturally recovered faster.
The middle-aged man regretted it. When he received Dominic's message, he thought it was a good job, so he took it without hesitation. He thought he had enough power, but he didn't expect Rex to not only be a Great Mage, but also have those weird metal men with her.
Those metal men were too terrifying. Warriors below the level of swordsman could basically die in one blow. If he wanted to capture Rex, he would probably have to sacrifice all the swordsmen around him.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand," the middle-aged man said coldly. It wasn't that he didn't want to admit it, but he knew that Duke Dominic hid some information and made him misjudge Rex's strength. This wasn't just a matter of distrust. Duke Dominic would never admit his failure.
If he said that Dominic ordered him to do it, Dominic wouldn't let him go even if he managed to deal with the current situation.
"It's good that you don't understand. I don't want to fall out with Dominic. Since he didn't order you to do it, I'll kill all of you. There's nothing to worry about."
As Rex spoke, she took out her magic staff.
"What?" The middle-aged man didn't understand. He didn't believe that Rex would be so arrogant as to choose a method where both sides would suffer. He still had the elites around him, and these 100-odd swordsmen were the accumulation of his family over 100 years.
Rex raised her magic staff. Two rays of light, one black and one white, shot out from the top of the staff and accurately hit the middle-aged man's forehead. A hole as thick as a thumb appeared on his head, going all the way from the front to the back. The hole was extremely smooth. There wasn't even any liquid flowing out, as if his head had been like this since the beginning.
What kind of spell was this? Salin saw this and was very surprised. Under the analysis of Icy Vision, this was a combination of two level-seven spells, but the attack power was far beyond the range of level-seven spells.
"Let's begin. Kill these swordsmen, and Dragon Tooth Town will be ours." Rex gathered the construct puppets around her and galloped forward.
Only then did the silver-armored swordsmen realize that their leader was dead. They were stunned for a moment. Rex's attack instantly killed the strongest person among them.
Rex was surrounded by 10 construct puppets. Even on horseback, the three-meter-tall puppets blocked all attacks from all directions. She charged into the silver-armored swordsmen's team like a warrior.
"Kill her!" The silver-armored swordsmen went crazy and pounced at the construct puppets without fear of death. Two silver-armored swordsmen leaped high and were about to jump over the puppets to kill Rex. The battle broke out again. This time, the swordsmen were somewhat blind. They didn't know whether to escape or not.
The two Construct Puppets protected Salin with all their might. Shika held her club and blocked the other side. She stood side by side with Neris. The blood on her body had already dried up.
Salin slowly moved toward the crossroads. He ignored the swordsmen surrounding him. It didn't matter if these people died or not, but the hundred or so swordsmen had to die.
With so many swordsmen, their battle power surpassed that of a flag regiment. They were the core strength of Dragon Tooth Town. As long as they were all killed, the local families wouldn't be able to cause any more trouble.
Also, Salin knew that it was impossible to kill everyone in Dragon Tooth Town. Even if he had enough scrolls, he didn't have that much spiritual power.
The two silver-armored swordsmen passed the construct puppets. Brilliant sword auras burst out of their swords. This was already the characteristic of a great swordmaster. One more step and they would be bronze sword saints.
Rex commanded the ten construct puppets, but she couldn't even release the scrolls. She looked up unhurriedly and shouted, "Come down!"
A golden aura rippled on the surface of Rex's body. Her voice reached the ears of the two great swordsmen directly. They felt as if the sword aura in their bodies had suddenly collapsed. They could no longer maintain their balance, and fell straight down.
The construct puppets below raised their door-sized swords and cut the two great swordmasters in half. Rex gritted her teeth and activated the Glücos family's secret technique. The golden aura on the surface of her body spread out, and even the surrounding construct puppets slowed down.
Ha!
Rex used all her strength and shouted. The golden aura shot out in all directions. The silver-armored swordsmen surrounding her felt their armors being penetrated by something, and the sword auras in their bodies dissipated instantly. A few swordsmen with heavy swords couldn't even hold their weapons. They watched helplessly as Rex took out a black scroll.
Salin stopped in his tracks. He saw Rex release a level-seven scroll. The image in the air distorted, and black liquid floated around her. Bit by bit, it landed on the bodies of the silver-armored swordsmen and burned rapidly.
Without the sword auras, the burning black liquid became fatal to the silver-armored swordsmen. Screams of agony erupted around Rex at the same time. Their screams didn't matter, but the ordinary swordsmen around Salin couldn't bear it and instantly lost their will to fight.
Even the swordsmen team had been destroyed. These ordinary swordsmen didn't have the courage to attack anymore. They threw their weapons and ran for their lives.
Salin stopped and called out to Silva, who was about to go after them. He looked around. Hundreds of corpses covered the streets. Two construct puppets were covered in blood and flesh. Their bodies were covered with faint marks left by weapons.
