[I just want to say, don't use the moral standards of a society ruled by law to demand the characters in the book. Maybe this chapter will cause misunderstandings. Great people are always stricter than others …]
Sauron was horrified! He looked at Rex in surprise.
He didn't doubt Rex's ability. He couldn't advance to Magic Shooter because he didn't have money. The speed of cultivation was slow to begin with, and he had to think of ways to make money, which wasted a lot of time.
He was already 68 years old. Although he still had 40 to 50 years to live, according to the current speed of progress, he had no hope of advancing before the end of his life.
Advancing to Level 7 Magic Shooter would extend his lifespan by more than a hundred years. Even if he stopped there, his lifespan would still double!
Sauron was tempted. He couldn't refuse such a thing.
"My condition is that this is a secret between us." Rex's face was cold.
Sauron nodded. He was so excited that he wanted to sign the contract immediately. Now, he was afraid that Rex would go back on her word. Most magicians with good aptitude stopped at Level 5 for life. Because of the high cost of learning magic, many magicians had to work hard for magic materials or be hired for some magic books.
If there were no accidents, such magicians would become Level 4 Great Magicians at the age of 50, and Level 5 at the age of 70.
However, the lifespan of magicians wasn't fixed. Magicians could get injured during cultivation. Without special meditation laws and magic potions, magicians wouldn't live to 120 years old. They would usually die before the age of 100.
Sauron had been a Level 6 magician for more than 10 years, but he hadn't made any progress in the past 10 years because he wanted to save money to buy materials to build a magic tower. But there was nothing he could do about it. If he didn't build a magic tower, he wouldn't be able to sense the threshold of Magic Shooter.
To advance to Magic Shooter, one had to be in an environment rich in elements. Nature didn't have such an environment, at least not on the Myers Continent. The only way to create such an environment was to build a magic tower.
If one had a Magic Shooter as a teacher, they could borrow the environment of the magic tower. This was the benefit of having a teacher.
Rex's ability to reach such heights at such a young age was inseparable from her having a Level 8 Magic Shooter as a teacher. Compared to Salin, Rex's advancement was almost smooth sailing. As for miraculous magicians like Salin, his progress was also obtained by risking his life.
Salin had almost died a few times when he had advanced to the next rank.
If he followed Rex, Rex would become a Magic Shooter in 20 years at most. Also, as the king of a country, building a Magic Tower would not be a problem at all. Soran saw hope. At this time, how could he still think about the dignity of a magician?
Mages had dignity, but there was also a strict hierarchy. Rex was much stronger than him. After making such a heavy promise, Soran could no longer insist.
"I can let Nash go, but I'm taking these soldiers with me."
Soran nodded blankly. He didn't care about those soldiers. In the mage's heart, there was no room for anything else. He only remembered one word — Magic Shooter! High Mage!
"Princess, what do you want those soldiers for? Daniel didn't quite understand Rex's intentions.
"Bring these people with me. If uncle sends people to stop me again, I'll kill them all."
Daniel shuddered and did not continue to ask.
Rex snorted. She stared at Daniel with her blue eyes and said, "You're quite bold. You only have 500 people, and you dare to attack the city gate. If I wasn't in the west, you'd be dead. Do you understand?"
Daniel replied anxiously, "How can that be? At most, we'll escape back. You saw it too. All of us have skeleton warhorses. "
"Skeleton warhorses? Hey, there are more than 100,000 soldiers in Phoenix. Can you outrun all of them? "
Daniel gasped. His 500 people had completely suppressed their opponents with magic, and still one-tenth of them had died. If they were surrounded and intercepted by 100,000 soldiers, the only one who could escape would probably be him. Peaches ran too fast. Mages below the level of Magic Shooter could not catch up at all.
"There are three Magic Shooters in Guderian City. This time, we have to bring at least one with us when we invade Phoenix. Daniel, if you're targeted by this Magic Shooter, can you escape?" Rex seemed to know what Daniel was thinking.
Daniel felt bitter on his tongue, and answered honestly, "I can't escape." This was not Tanggulas. Other than Salin, he had no one to rely on. He could escape from the Vatican because he was familiar with the environment. He had many friends traveling in Tanggulas and Yunliu for many years. But in Phoenix, he spoke with a western accent. Even a farmer could tell that he was not from Qin.
"Humph, I don't know why Salin let you come out without worry. Do you think you're invincible with two magic chariots? I have dozens of ways to deal with you. Do you believe me? " Rex could not help but scold Daniel on behalf of Salin. Daniel's actions were too risky. It might cause the 500 soldiers that Salin had painstakingly gathered to be wiped out.
Rex didn't think much of Salin's soldiers, but she could tell that they had good foundations. If they were trained properly, they would be elites. Daniel's reckless use of the chariots would cause the soldiers to be wiped out before they were trained.
Geyi hid behind Daniel and did not dare to make a sound. He was the one who came up with this idea. Although it was successful, now that he thought about it, there were too many loopholes in his original plan. The only commendable thing he did was to kill that white-robed Wizard. If he did not kill the white-robed Wizard, the barbarians blocking the city gate would not be able to survive.
Rex did not continue. He began to ask about Salin, and Daniel answered them one by one. Hearing that the city Salin built was attacked by the East Sea Expeditionary Force, Rex was secretly glad. Luckily, Salin had good methods and directly sunk the enemy's warship. This was also related to the season. If it was summer, those warships could directly approach the city and shoot rocks. Salin's men and horses would be wiped out.
Salin was too lucky. He actually subdued the Undead Lord!
Soon, a soldier walked in and saluted. He said, "Your Highness, the fire has been extinguished. What should we do with the captives?"
"Take off their armor and change into cotton clothes. Assemble them according to the formation of the auxiliary soldiers and take them away."
Rex had his own plans. With so many captives, although they would need to consume food, he had the Shenluo Ring. He could clean out the food stored in Strandburg. They would be brought back to Salin's city as coolies. If Sacred Rock City wanted him to release them, they would either have to pay up or give him the conditions he wanted.
For example, opening a passage in Phoenix to belong to the Bitter Water Prefecture.
One had to know that Rex had obtained tens of thousands of captives this time. Half of them were regular soldiers. Sacred Rock City could not afford to lose so many soldiers.
The military system of the four empires was very complicated, but there was one thing they had in common. They all had armies directly under the royal family. These armies could not be commanded by other nobles. For example, the garrison of Guderian City was directly under Sacred Rock City.
It would usually take more than five years to train such soldiers. These soldiers were different from the auxiliary soldiers. They did not do production and spent their lives in battle. When they grew old and weak, the royal family would also support these people.
These soldiers surrendered today because their opponent was Rex, who was also surnamed Glücos. If the enemy was the army of the Tanggulas Empire, these soldiers would fight to the last man.
Hence, Rex did not dare to kill these soldiers. If she did, it would cause irreversible damage to the Glücos family. These soldiers wouldn't work too hard in Salin's city. If they were the private soldiers of local nobles, Rex wouldn't even think about it. He would just throw them into the mines and let them dig until they died.
This time, Rex had brought a large army to the north. There were countless talents in the army, including magic apprentices who were good at prospecting. When Salin's city settled down, these people would be sent out to search for mines in the frozen lands of the north.
Rex did not have to pay taxes when mining, so no matter how low the profits from mining in the north were, she would still make money.
At this time, Rex had no time to chat with Daniel. His subordinates kept entering the hall to report and reply to orders. Rex made the arrangements one by one, and Daniel was convinced. If he were to do these things, he would not be able to do any of them well.
Rex was much stronger than him, and not just in terms of magic. It seemed that Salin was not bad. He had finally followed the right person. If not for Salin's provocation, Daniel would still be a level-four mage. He would never have advanced to level-five.
After the captives were settled, Rex personally "patrolled" Stranburg's warehouse after dealing with most of the affairs. The military equipment, rations, gold coins, magic cores, and ores were all stored in Rex's Shenluo Ring. If it were Salin, he would definitely be worried. The mountains of rations were enough to feed five thousand soldiers for years.
Rex did not touch the magic tower outside the city. Although the mage who built the magic tower was no longer around, she did not break the rules. However, she dismantled all the magic catapults in the city and packed them away, not leaving a single part behind. Others would definitely not be able to do this. Only a mage like Rex, who had a divine weapon, could take away so many things.
Nash finally woke up. He was locked up, and Rex did not visit him or let anyone talk to him. She ransacked the Strand Castle for three days, scraping every inch of the ground, leaving nothing behind that she could take with her.
Rex was being careful. She did not care about these worthless things. Keeping them for ransacking was her attitude. If anyone offended her in the future, she would empty their house. Besides, there were at least tens of thousands of Qin Yin troops in the nearby cities. Rex had already sent out scouts to gather information.
