William was kind-hearted, but that was only relative to his five peers. Compared to the cruelty of others, he preferred to use violence to solve problems. But when he had to use violence, he was Black William, the executioner of the Inquisition. He rarely acted alone. Time was tight this time, and the Inquisition was in the capital for a long time. The people nearby couldn't control a Sorcerer of Rex's level, so he could only chase after them alone.
Rex rejected his terms, which made him happy. But the team in front of him was like a porcupine, and it was hard to attack. The worst thing was that Rex was too fast. He gathered a group of Blood Knights, but they were taken care of by Rex's Battle Puppets. Even though Rex's losses weren't small, he didn't have any pawns that could restrain Rex's actions.
The heavy infantry could definitely keep Rex's men, but they didn't have enough horses and chariots to transport the heavy infantry. They also suffered huge losses in the battle with the Titan Duchy. Those heavy infantry could only rely on the terrible horses to carry their armor. They had to choose a battlefield where the enemy couldn't avoid fighting.
It was basically impossible for the infantry to catch up to such a fast team with their speed.
The Tanggulas Empire's knights lost to the heavy infantry in the battle at Garoulan. Other than the royal army, Qin Yin had to buy most of the warhorses from Cloud State. The local warhorses were either of poor breed or insufficient in quantity, so Qin Yin's infantry had always been the strongest among the four empires.
If the heavy infantry under him were like Qin Yin, he wouldn't be in such a difficult situation. Qin Yin's heavy infantry was only slightly slower than the light cavalry. With the help of Spellcasters, the heavy infantry could travel more than two hundred kilometers in a day, and equip two layers of armor in half an hour.
Black William could only stall Rex's team by himself. After all, the Inquisition would be able to arrive in a few days after he escaped from the chaos in the capital.
Even though the Tanggulas Empire didn't have a Teleportation Formation like Qin Yin's, it could still teleport a person from the capital to the border. With the Inquisition's speed, he would be able to arrive very quickly.
Black William comforted himself. It wasn't his fault that he couldn't solve the problem on his own. The higher-ups of the Vatican had suffered heavy losses to kill Great Emperor Chanak. Rex was Great Emperor Chanak's biological daughter, and Black William was afraid that he would fail miserably. The Glücos family wasn't to be trifled with. Black William didn't even want to do this himself.
This time, Rex simply built a wooden house for the soldiers to live in. The Mages didn't leave the chariot at all. Inside the magic chariot, these Mages who were two to three levels lower than Black William could still pose a threat to him. All the security work was done by the Construct Puppets, and the swordsmiths rested.
If the Tanggulas Empire's army arrived, Rex could abandon this wooden house and leave at any time.
Seeing this, Black William was quite impressed. His plan to exhaust Rex's men was useless. Rex didn't care about his surveillance at all. As long as the main force didn't come, Rex would still do what he wanted to do.
That was indeed what Rex was thinking. Before he killed Black William, he had to wait for news from Metatlin City.
Eileen drew a detailed equipment blueprint for Salin. When Rex saw the blueprint, he didn't ask for it. However, he started to pay attention to it. This magic bow was more complicated than the average large-scale magic equipment. If it wasn't made with Water Flame Alchemy and was made in an ordinary laboratory, the scale of the laboratory would be unusually large. Salin, on the other hand, just threw the materials into the Water Flame one by one. He used his mental power to control the details in the bow, and it didn't seem to be difficult at all.
Rex also had crafting methods, but it wasn't as good as the inheritance on Seriger Island. She wasn't envious. As long as she returned to Rafael's Magic Tower, the laboratory in the tower could be used to make any kind of magic equipment.
Nelis was sleeping, Shika was cultivating, Salin was crafting the bow, and Eileen simply continued to recover from her injuries. The team stopped just like that. They only set up some magic arrays to prevent sneak attacks. Every day, two Mages would listen to the tremors in front of a special magic array. If a large force came, they would immediately retreat. They didn't want to use any other methods to deal with it.
That was because if they released the flying puppets now, they would definitely be destroyed by Black William. Rex had completely thought it through. Take a look if you want. There were no secrets in this camp anyway.
The night was unusually cold. Black William waited for three days and two nights, but Rex didn't do anything. He even wanted to summon the army. However, he also knew that as soon as the army approached, Rex would have to run again. Unless he could surround these twenty people, everything would be in vain.
Just as he was feeling depressed, a huge explosion suddenly occurred in the camp that had been quiet for a few days. Black smoke rose dozens of meters high, and a slim figure rushed out of the camp and ran toward the south.
Black William put up a lens in front of his eyes. In the lens, he saw that the person running was a woman. She had an exquisite figure, and there was a layer of airflow that was visible to the naked eye revolving on the surface of her body.
This woman was wearing a Titan style cotton coat. It was simple and had a very short hem. She was a Mage, but she wasn't wearing a magic robe.
Then, two more people rushed out of the camp. One of them had a blurry cloud-like airflow on the surface of his body. It was unknown what kind of acceleration spell it was. The other one was a Warrior in closed armor. This Warrior was about the same size as the Mage, but his running speed could actually catch up with the Mage who was enhanced by magic.
Another few Swordsmen rushed out of the camp and were immediately summoned back. A Warrior in magic armor jumped onto the carriage and used an alchemy telescope to observe his side.
That Warrior's alchemy telescope could clearly see Black William's position. He suddenly made an insulting gesture.
Black William was slightly angry. He stood up and wanted to go to Rex's camp to teach this guy a lesson. However, he quickly gave up on this idea.
Could it be a trap?
Heh, Rex has powerful equipment. I can't go near him easily. There's probably a legendary powerhouse hiding in the camp. If Rex set up a trap, she wouldn't make it so obvious.
However, I really don't dare to enter her camp. The problem is that the other Mage who chased after her is also level-five. Judging from his speed, the Mage who ran away is definitely not lower than level-five.
Rex sent a level-five Mage and a Warrior to chase after the other level-five Mage, which means that he doesn't dare to send more people.
I don't dare to face Rex directly, but do I not dare to face an ordinary level-five Mage?
Thinking about this, Black William jumped down the mountain. He was still in midair, but he was already in a flying posture. A black book appeared in his hands.
The Warrior on the chariot actually dared to make such a gesture to me. It must be a lure. I don't dare to enter your camp, but do you think I don't dare to chase after a lone Mage?
Black William's speed suddenly increased. He drew a black line in the night sky and followed behind Salin.
It was Zola who made the insulting gesture. He was a little worried, and he thought of this gesture on the spur of the moment. If that Mage attacked Rex's camp, Salin wouldn't have to take the risk.
Zola wasn't afraid of this Mage at all. He was already a Silver Sword Sage and wouldn't be at a disadvantage against a level-seven professional. If Black William wasn't so fast, Zola would dare to launch a surprise attack within a hundred meters. If a Silver Sword Sage wanted to fly, he could barely reach a height of a hundred meters, and his speed was much faster than a level-six Mage.
Unexpectedly, Black William was very cautious and still chose to chase after Salin.
Black William's speed was twice that of Salin, and the distance between them wasn't too far. In less than two minutes, he had already caught up to Salin. Salin also caught up to Eleanor. A green stream of water flashed in his hand and wrapped around Eleanor. The flames on Eleanor's body flashed, but they were destroyed by the green stream of water.
Eleanor flipped over and fell to the ground. Black William saw Eleanor's despairing gaze and had the urge to ravage her.
I can't let any of them go!
Salin suddenly turned around. A crystal clear shield appeared in front of him and floated in the air. He quickly took out a silver magic book and held it in his hand.
Black William was overjoyed. Although he wasn't a Mage, he knew how precious a silver magic book was. If he killed this Mage, the book would be his. He could definitely exchange it for a high-level piece of equipment or even a holy weapon from the Vatican.
The temperature in the air dropped again. Black mist rose from the silver magic book and instantly enveloped the empty space in front of Salin. The book in Black William's hand was already open. He landed on the ground, and golden divine characters floated in the black book. There were even twisted black lines in the middle.
"Shackles!"
With just one word, a golden shackle fell from the sky. It was incomparably huge and covered an area dozens of meters around Salin.
The black book flipped a page, and more golden divine characters floated up. Black William spat out another word, "Disperse!"
Hundreds of golden lights suddenly appeared in the black mist, turning it back into water droplets that fell to the ground.
Black William was about to turn to the third page when he saw the mist dissipate. The female sorcerer, who had fallen to the ground, had grabbed a short bow that was more than a meter long. There was a transparent arrow on the bow, and the entire arrow was made of expensive crystals!
He was tricked.
Black William felt the space around him tremble violently. The transparent crystal arrow had already entered his abdomen.
His opponent didn't shoot at the vital parts! Black William panicked even more. He felt as if he had swallowed a huge ice cube. He didn't feel any pain, but he was so numb that he couldn't breathe.
