"I wanted to update it earlier today, but I found some mistakes in the previous chapters. I'm upset. I'll send a corrected message to the related section of the work later. I spent a lot of time checking and flipping through the manuscripts before me. I'm sorry.]
In the main tent of the military camp, Rex was questioning a mage angrily.
"Nash, did he really say that?"
"Yes, Your Highness. If you want to cross the border from Strandburg, the army has to put down their weapons. He said that you can cross the mountain too. Of course, there's no need to trouble him."
"Nash's father is a sly old man. I didn't expect him to be so stubborn. Alright, you can leave now. We'll talk after a day's rest. "
The low-level mage left the tent. In the shadows, a middle-aged man showed up.
"Princess … Sigh, you're a king now. You should call me Your Highness." The person who walked out of the shadows was Assassin Byrne.
"You can't go. Assassinating a general of the empire is tantamount to rebellion. Nash didn't attack me. He just didn't let me cross Strandburg. Besides, he can guard the west. He must have a great mage with him. He might even have a Magic Shooter. You might not be able to get close to him. "Rex knew what Byrne was going to do.
Rex was also helpless. She was crossing the border with her swordsmen. If Guderian City's army hadn't invaded, the nobles of Phoenix wouldn't have dared to stop her. However, Strandburg was controlled by Guderian City's army now. The terrain here was narrow. If they didn't pass through the city, the army would have to cross the mountains.
In such cold weather, the soldiers wouldn't be able to withstand the torment even if they didn't have any supplies. They had been marching for half a month. Some soldiers from the south were even frostbitten. If there weren't many mages with them, their morale would have dropped.
"Your Highness …"
"Forget it, Byrne. Call me princess. I'm more used to it," Rex said to the assassin who had followed her for more than ten years.
Byrne glanced at the mages around Rex, especially a middle-aged mage in a gray robe. He stared at him. The mage was a little uncomfortable. Rex said, "Byrne, Basta can be trusted."
Basta was a level-five mage from Serrig Island who had followed her back to Bitter Water Commandery. They had been away for half a year. Basta was anxious too. However, Rex's preparations couldn't be done in a day or two. He could only endure.
"Princess, I don't care what the laws say. Nash stopped you here. If we don't let you pass, your army will be in danger. He has so many men. If you don't make a clear choice tonight, Nash will really be on the side of the law, and nobody can say anything about it. of them. can't. "
"I'm not worried about that. There's a seven-story Magic Tower outside Strandburg. Although the mages are no longer here, Nash's army mages can still be used. The terrain here is narrow, it's useless even if I have more people than him. "
"At least make an attitude first. If they still don't let us go, I'll poison them. "To".. "I can" to of of of of the plan. they were, but they were. "At least, I should I say, they are.
Byrne's method was feasible, but the two sides were in a hostile state, and the other side would definitely check the water. Salin gave me a formula. Anyone below the level of swordsman will die soon after taking this poison. Only magic potion can cure them. "
In that case, it would at most reduce the enemy's combat power, and the main officers and mages would not be affected.
"Byrne, I think the people of Sacred Rock City want me to do this," Rex thought. Rex calculated in his heart. His route of action could not be hidden from others. As long as he made a rough calculation, Nash would be able to lead the army to seal this place in advance.
If he didn't fight, he would have to take a longer route. He might not be able to pass anywhere else. It was impossible to wait here. The enemy only had ten thousand people. He had ten thousand elites, not including the support soldiers. However, it would be too wasteful to use these swordsmen to attack the city.
Uncle, you're forcing me to fight you! No matter what the result was, I've already lost half of this battle. Sacred Rock City wouldn't give me any support in the future. Prince Sephiroth didn't have the right to strip Rex of his title, but he could control the nobles and isolate himself.
"Your Highness," someone called from outside the tent.
"What's up?"
"We caught a spy. He said he came from the north."
"Spy? Bring him in. "
After Rex finished speaking, Byrne had already disappeared into the shadows. There were two Black Iron Sword Saints hiding in the tent. Rex had always been very concerned about his safety.
The person who was escorted into the tent saw Rex and shouted, "Princess, let go of me."
Rex was amused. This was a pirate that Salin had subdued. She remembered him. This pirate's hands were tied with a leather rope, and his weapon was taken away.
The female mage beside Rex, Narnia, waved her hand and cut the rope that bound the pirate with a wind blade. The pirate had been trained by Salin to have some manners. He bent down and bowed to Rex.
"Alright, give him a chair. Tell me, why are you here?"
"Sir Salin asked us to pick you up."
"You? How many people did Salin send? "
"Five hundred. They're in the east of Strandburg. Strandburg has sealed the main road, so we can't come over. We could only send a few people to come through the mountains."
"Only five hundred …" Rex was a little disappointed. If Salin had sent more than a thousand swordsmen to attack from both sides, or as long as they were bluffing, Nash would let them go. If Nash let them go, Rex really didn't want to fight him.
Seeing Rex's expression, the pirate was indignant. He said, "Sir Salin has sent all the great mages around him."
Pfft …
Someone in the tent laughed. It was the life mage beside Rex, Juan. Juan had always been outstanding, but after Salin came to Kushui Prefecture, Rex had been training Salin, so he didn't seem important anymore. After Rex left, Juan couldn't follow him, but he was determined to stay in Kushui Prefecture and continue helping Rex manage the princess' residence. Now, Juan was the leader of the life mages, and he had also advanced to level four.
Even though he was passionate about fame, he never slacked on his magic training. He was a genius himself, so he advanced very quickly. After Rex went to Alchemy City, there were more mages in Kushui Prefecture.
These mages all had the same idea: the princess was forced to leave by Holy Rock City, so they should protect Kushui Prefecture and prevent it from declining. Therefore, after Rex left for a long time, Kushui Prefecture became a gathering place for mages in the central part of the empire.
Even though Juan was only level four, he could already order hundreds of mages and almost a thousand apprentices to do things.
That pirate Juan mocked and didn't hide his anger at all. Even though everyone was afraid of mages, and Juan was already wearing a gray magic robe, this pirate had seen many mages, so he wasn't scared by Juan. Instead, he stood up straight and said to Rex, "Princess, you might think it's nothing, but I think it's amazing that Sir Salin could still send 500 people after the battle."
"Battle? What happened there? "
"A fleet ambushed the East Sea, but Sir Salin took care of it."
This time, Juan didn't sneer. Rex knew about the East Sea Fleet ambushing Lianyun City, so he brought everyone through Phoenix and didn't let the mages go by sea.
The pirate looked proud. He said, "There were more than 10,000 enemies and 12 warships. I also chopped off a few heads with Sir Daniel."
"Is Mage Salin already so powerful?" Nania couldn't help but ask. Salin subdued the Three Lords after Rex left, so Rex naturally didn't know about it.
The pirate continued, "Sir Salin also sent two magic chariots."
"Magic chariots!" Rex stood up. She was really surprised.
"They were captured. Sir Salin said that it's too expensive to build them." The pirate exhaled and felt much better. The mages in the tent no longer looked at him with contempt.
"Yes. Tell me, what's the strength of these 500 people?" Rex started to value Salin's support. If there were two magic chariots, they could temporarily resist the attack of the Magic Tower.
"Two magic chariots and 20 regular chariots, all carrying some supplies. There are also 200 of our brothers and 300 barbarians. Each chariot has a level-five great mage and four level-three mages. Sir Daniel also came with them. "
Although Daniel was only Salin's follower, he was still a great mage in the eyes of others. Also, these pirates had always been under Daniel's command. They already treated Daniel as their leader. When they talked about him, they couldn't help but be respectful.
"Princess, if that's the case, we can give it a try." Juan immediately egged Rex on after hearing the pirate's words.
Rex didn't know where Salin recruited these barbarians. She thought that this was probably all Salin could gather. If they attacked from the east and suffered too many losses, it would be unfair to Salin.
Seeing Rex's hesitation, the pirate said, "Princess, the 500 of us, including the chariots, all use skeleton warhorses. If we can't beat them, we can still run. "
The moment he spoke, he let the cat out of the bag. Actually, he wasn't afraid of Strandburg's army because this team of 500 could run too fast.
"Okay, then I'll write a letter to Daniel. One of you will go back with him and contact Salin's men. We'll attack at night." Rex was also decisive. As long as she made the decision, there would naturally be officers who would be responsible for the detailed battle plan. She didn't have to worry too much. This was the advantage that Rex had over Salin. She had all kinds of talents by her side, unlike Salin, who had to do everything himself.
A level-three mage stood out. Rex immediately wrote a letter, which basically meant that Daniel should cooperate with them and carry out a feint attack. Rex specially mentioned that they had to pay attention to the casualties, and retreat temporarily if the pressure was too great.
The letter was quickly finished. The pirate took Rex's letter and left the camp with the level-three mage. The level-three mage didn't waste any time either. He directly released a scroll for the two of them. Wind Speed. With the help of magic, the two of them ran as fast as they could towards the mountain range.
