In the beginning, maybe some brothers didn't like a strong woman, right? I don't know how it is now. I'm just thinking that it would be a tragedy if Rex was written as a weak woman. If you want to push, push the most powerful one. Even if you don't push her, it's good as a target.
Rex's actions were effective. Her infantry had already set up the magic catapults. The defenders in the city didn't have the mood to send the mages to the east of the city.
Although Nash was tough at the beginning, he was secretly complaining. He thought that Rex didn't have the guts to attack the city. Now that Rex had set up the catapults, and there was support at the east gate, it was obvious that Rex was going to start a massacre.
Everyone knew that the number of mages in Rex's Bitter Water Army was many times that of a normal army. In a short battle, the advantage might not be obvious, but the more mages there were, the longer the enemy's fighting time would be, and the faster their recovery would be.
Speaking of which, the Vatican had used this method to create the Holy Knights. Every brigade had a priest following them, and those knights could release sword energy crazily.
There were fewer soldiers in the city than the Bitter Water Army, and if they didn't fight as long as the enemy, Strandburg wouldn't be able to defend at all. Rex didn't attack the city at the beginning because she didn't want to lose her soldiers here.
Rex's Bitter Water Army soldiers had followed her from the beginning. Some were already the second generation. Their fathers retired, and their sons continued to serve in the army. These soldiers were very loyal. Rex didn't want them to die on the city wall. She had wanted to set up a large-scale invisibility spell at night and send the catapults to the bottom of the city. Then, she would use her speed to blast a small hole. She could only use force now. That was what depressed Rex the most.
Rex's vehicle arrived outside the city very quickly. Two low-level wizards released a flying puppet and let it fly high up to continue observing the movements in the city.
Flying puppets weren't Eyes of the Undead. What they saw wouldn't be sent back as images. Instead, it was a type of magic wave. Mages needed this magic wave to determine the information of flying puppets. This was true learning from experience. New mages couldn't master it no matter what.
But there were too many low-level mages in Bitter Water Commandery. There were many who could control flying puppets.
Soon, a mage told Rex the new information. The battle in the east seemed to be very fierce. The elemental waves were shocking. Rex knew that the magic chariot had appeared.
"Hey, Daniel, that brat. He's caused me so much trouble." Rex's tone was unfriendly. She asked again, "How long will it take to set up the magic array?"
"Three minutes, Your Highness."
"Then let's wait for another three minutes. First, adjust the catapults and aim at the front wall according to the magic sequence. I don't know where their catapults are, but I'm sure they're arranged in a regular pattern. Be careful, don't let the puppets fly too close or they'll be shot down. "
After saying that, Rex closed his eyes to rest. The two Great Magicians kept staring at the sky. Although Strandburg was not an important city, they were still afraid that the enemy had large flying puppets.
Large flying puppets could carry large amounts of magic materials, burn and explode, and could quickly destroy catapults.
Three minutes passed quickly, and a gigantic magic array was set up on the ground. The entire floor was covered with ingredients, and magic patterns had been etched on them in advance. Rex came to the center of the magic circle. Six great Magicians stood around her before she activated the magic circle.
A gigantic light shot into the sky. Rex's image was magnified hundreds of times and projected in the air, facing Strandburg. The guards on the city wall looked pale. They had never heard of such magic.
Rex looked down at the city like a god. She spoke slowly.
"Nash, ask your Magician to speak for you."
Nash looked up at the gigantic magic image in the sky and knew that he would definitely lose. Because the morale of the soldiers was dropping rapidly. This was very important. Rex used the mentality of ordinary people to release a spell that had no offensive power, but it made everyone fearful.
That was the fear of magic, and Rex had become the embodiment of magic.
"Master Sauron …"
The gray-robed Magician sighed and started to set up the sound-transmitting magic array for Nash. Rex was willing to see such an exchange between the two sides. However, if Nash rejected it, all the soldiers would hear would be Rex's words. That would be even worse.
Sauron set up the sound-transmitting magic array and signaled for Nash to speak. This valiant general of the empire looked up at the sky and said in a low voice, "Your Highness Rex, are you going to attack the empire's city? Even if you are a member of the royal family, this is equivalent to treason. "
Once Nash spoke, he wanted to overpower Rex in terms of words.
Who was Rex? She had been exceptionally shrewd since she was young. She smiled, and all the soldiers' gazes were focused on her smile. They couldn't help but have a ridiculous thought.
Her Highness … is a good person.
This was a hint of magic. These young and strong men even ignored Rex's beauty. Instead, they felt a sense of closeness to her. This kind of hint was useless to powerhouses, but to ordinary soldiers, the effect of this kind of magic hint was too strong. Sauron watched silently at the side. Of course, he had a way to eliminate this influence, but he couldn't. Rex was also a level-6 Magician, and he had a level-8 Magic Shooter as his backing.
Sauron, on the other hand, had trained himself to become a level-6 Magician. It would be very difficult for him to become a Magic Shooter. If he did that, he might very well be killed by Rex's teacher.
"Nash, I only have one question for you. Are you still loyal to my father?!" Rex didn't use a questioning tone, but a reprimand. The soldiers panicked. Suddenly, they felt that they were the ones in the wrong.
Who was Rex? He was the Duke of the Empire. Her father was the kindest emperor. Emperor Charnak was the most popular emperor in the history of Qin Yin. Not only were the local nobles on his side, but even the ordinary people had a good impression of this emperor.
It was easy for an emperor to make people respect him, but it was too difficult to make people feel close to him. Charnak was such a person. Nash was instantly speechless.
Then, he replied in an extremely bitter tone, "His Majesty is still the person I respect the most, but the current emperor is your younger brother."
"Nash, the order was given to you by Sephiroth, not my poor younger brother. Open the city gates and let me pass. I'll pretend that you didn't make this mistake. "
Rex didn't explain whether or why she wanted to attack. She spoke as if everything was Nash's fault. However, what was wrong with Nash executing the military order? Did he have to go against Sephiroth for Rex? Did he still want to live?
Rex had been observing Nash's reaction. Suddenly, a bodyguard approached Nash and whispered a few words. Nash's expression changed drastically.
The east gate was tricked open and destroyed. That wasn't the worst. Two magic chariots actually rushed into the city!
This was equivalent to the enemy setting up two miniature magic towers in the city. Nash felt his insides burning. He suddenly screamed, spat out blood, and fell to the ground.
He would definitely lose!
Actually, he could totally use the cavalry to escape. However, would Sephiroth spare him?
"General Nash …" The grey-robed mage looked down at the fallen Nash. He wanted to say something but stopped.
Nash raised his head, but his eyes were filled with despair. He forcefully swallowed the blood in his mouth and smiled bitterly. "I understand. You don't want to offend Rex. You can leave now."
Sauron looked awkward. He indeed didn't want to offend Rex because he was a mage without any backing. So what if he was a level-6 mage? If he injured Rex, the three level-9 Magic Shooters in Holy Rock City might find trouble with him. Moreover, it was more likely that he would be killed by Rex. There were actually six great mages accompanying Rex just to make the magic image bigger.
There were only about 50 mages in the city, and most of them were low-level mages. They couldn't compare to the enemy at all. Most of these mages had no backing, just like Soran himself. Mages who really lived a comfortable life wouldn't follow the army. They would have already found a place to practice magic.
These mages who followed the army might be richer than the small nobles, but they were considered poor among the mages.
Rex was also helpless. What she did today was to make it clear that she would oppose Sephiroth to the end, and there was no room for negotiation.
What was the use of those idiots in Holy Rock City even if the empire lasted for tens of thousands of years? The royal family couldn't protect their own clan, and the capital couldn't control the local nobles. Sephiroth might be brave and invincible, but could he rely on force to make all the nobles submit?
When Soran's father was on the expedition, all the nobles in the country sent soldiers to participate in the war. Of course, it was for the sake of benefits, but more importantly, they recognized Soran as a person.
What about now? Even the cowardly nobles of Phoenix rose up against Holy Rock City. Was this still Qin Yin? Where was the glory of Lycus?
Although Soran's father was dead, Rex was even more determined to not be influenced by those prophecies anymore. Master Merlin was great, but she couldn't ruin her life for a great person.
Your greatness has nothing to do with me.
Moreover, Rex had also gotten rid of some of the pressure in her heart. Since they had already fallen out, she wouldn't be able to protect Qin Yin's everything in the future, unless she became Qin Yin's emperor.
She should protect the Bitterwater Prefecture, just like what the people of Phoenix were doing now. If Sephiroth continued to force her, then she would go to war.
"Teacher …" A white-robed mage called out softly beside Sauron. He was also hesitant about whether he should continue to help Nash defend the city.
"All of you, leave." Sauron's face was gloomy. He still had four students with him, all of whom he had carefully trained. All of them were white-robed mages. He was only 60 years old now, which was enough for him to be proud of. But the one outside the city was only 20 years old, right? He was already a Level 6 Mage. Thinking of this, Sauron was disheartened.
"Teacher!" The four white-robed mages were shocked. They didn't care whether they left or not, but if their teacher stayed, it would be very dangerous.
Sauron smiled bitterly. "I won't attack the king, but I have to protect the general's safety."
