[Today is the fourth update. The badge finally has a leader, and it's an author fanatic from Qidian — Pig, Cat, Red Army. All this while, I haven't thanked everyone for their gifts in the chapter. I'm a germaphobe, and I'm afraid it will affect the content of the chapter. Climbing the fan ranking is my motivation to continue writing. To put it simply, I plan to write a short story during the Spring Festival and post it in the free chapter. All of you will appear in this short story. This is a difficult task, all the fans …]
Hearing the dwarf's words, Antoshi calmed down. He pulled two strands of his beard and said in a low voice, "Tyrant, I'm getting more and more angry. Did something go wrong with my cultivation?"
The dwarf closed his eyes and said, "Master, this is normal. After getting past the Silver Sword Sage, Master's anger will naturally be appeased. There are 24 secret techniques in this world, and Master's is the most unique. If it wasn't for the fact that I can't change my skills since I was young, I would want to learn from Master. "
A fiery red aura flashed in Antoshi's eyes, as if flames were dancing. He took a deep breath and said, "This matter can't be blamed on Rex. I sent troops to attack the city she controlled and was defeated. It's no big deal. Besides, her surname is Glucus. If I really kill her, Ojarvis will take my life. "
"Does Master want that Magic Shooter to die?"
"No, I suspect that the one who came to Daliang this time is the king of the Metatlin."
"Salin? This person isn't strong, but he's not easy to kill. If I kill him, Rex will also be very angry, "the dwarf said slowly.
"Rex killed a battalion of my soldiers, and I'm also very angry. If she's angry, we'll be even. Tyrant, go to Daliang. If there's that king among the Metatlin people, kill him and bring back his head. "
Antoshi said fiercely. When he looked up again, the dwarf was no longer in front of him.
The unnamed town guarded by Earl Bessita had been besieged by the Headless Horsemen for five days. Black Sky was focused on escaping, so he didn't give the Headless Horsemen the order to attack the town. He only let the Headless Horsemen attract attention. These Headless Horsemen instinctively wanted to enter the town and hunt for souls.
There were more than ten catapults left behind by Salin, as well as the armors and weapons of more than a thousand elite soldiers. There were also quite a few strong bows and hard crossbows. Most importantly, the Winged Skeletons had left behind more than three thousand Corpse Soldiers.
The Winged Skeleton's actions were also unintentional. The number of Green Spirits he had was limited, and all of them contained the undead that he had summoned for the fleet. They were irreplaceable, so the newly created Corpse Soldiers were simply left in Earl Bessita's town. If there were no Necromancers to provide the Corpse Soldiers with death energy, these soldiers would dissipate from the Myers Continent within a month. If they were lucky, their soul fires would be reignited in the Undead Plane.
The smell of the Corpse Soldiers was not very good, and the people of the town were disgusted by them. However, when the Headless Horseman arrived, the Corpse Soldiers became the main fighting force.
These Headless Horsemen were personally created by the Black Sky Demon God, and their strength had reached the level of a Swordmaster. Fortunately, they had lost the abilities they had when they were alive. They only knew how to gather near the city gate and use their weapons to hack at the gate. The catapults in the city fired stone shells. After firing a few times, they realized that they could not kill the Headless Horsemen, so they could only give up.
In addition, the Headless Horsemen abandoned their horses and climbed up the city wall. This required the help of the Corpse Soldiers, who instinctively attacked the heads hanging on the Headless Horsemen's waists.
Often, two or three of Earl Bessita's soldiers would block the Headless Horsemen with their spears, and then two Corpse Soldiers would pounce on them and activate Corpse Explosion to blow up the Headless Horsemen's head. Only then would the Headless Horsemen fall off the city wall.
The casualties were increasing every hour. The quality of the new recruits was not as good as the Earl's personal soldiers, and the Headless Horsemen had almost no weaknesses. The people trapped in the city were helpless. If there were no city walls, perhaps everyone would have been killed by these Headless Horsemen.
Now, even if they wanted to abandon the city and escape, they could only defend and wait for reinforcements.
After persevering for two days, the people in the city were exhausted. Less than a thousand Headless Horsemen had been lost, but the number of Corpse Soldiers had decreased by more than half, leaving just over a thousand. Moreover, the remaining Headless Horsemen were even more powerful. Even three to five Corpse Soldiers would not be able to kill the Headless Horsemen.
Just as the morale of the people in the city was about to collapse, in the wilderness in the distance, two figures appeared behind the Headless Horsemen like meteors. These two figures ignored the Headless Horsemen and directly flew up to the top of the city wall. The soldiers at the top of the city wall wanted to shoot their arrows, but they found that their hands and feet were not listening to them.
It was not only the soldiers at the top of the city wall who could not move. The Headless Horsemen who had climbed up the city wall were the same. The two figures stopped, a man and a woman. They were graceful and charming. The man waved his hand, and the Headless Horsemen suddenly emitted a faint sound from their bodies.
Crack …
All the Headless Horsemen collapsed into black powder almost instantly, scattering on the ground as if they had never existed.
The woman spoke. Her fingertips lit up with a green light, forming an illusory image on the top of the city wall.
In this image was a monster that was more than 20 meters tall. It had three heads, four arms, and was covered in black scales. On each head, there was a single horn.
"Who has seen this thing before?" The woman's voice instantly spread throughout the city.
The soldiers shook their heads in confusion. The man glanced at the woman and said, "Gesica, the Black Satan has never been here. We have been deceived."
"Then what should we do, Gao Fei?"
The man said, "When did these Headless Horsemen start attacking this place?"
"Two, two days ago …" One of the braver soldiers replied. Actually, those who could survive until now were all new soldiers who had trained their courage. Fighting with the Headless Horsemen every day was equivalent to having nightmares.
"Gesica, it's been two days. That thing doesn't dare to fly. It's estimated to be about 2,000 kilometers away."
"Damn it, I let him eat more than 10,000 people. His injuries have stopped, and I can't find his aura!"
These two were the Oracles of the goddess who had left the Purgatory Desert. They had nothing to do outside, so they decided to pursue the Black Satan. During their first encounter, the Black Satan was severely injured by the two of them and fled in panic.
These two Oracles had the power to kill him. The Black Satan had concealed his tracks the entire time, but they still caught up to him. Gesica used a divine spell and chopped off one of his heads, using up the power that he had accumulated over 10,000 years. The Black Satan knew that he was no match for the two Oracles. After losing one of his heads, his dirty blood could be easily smelled. Thus, he could only take the risk and kill more than 10,000 Qin Yin soldiers to temporarily stop his injuries.
The Black Satan's third head still had no combat ability. If he wanted to recover, he would need a large number of believers to pray to him.
The Black Satan's risky killing of more than 10,000 Qin Yin soldiers had indeed alarmed the Oracles. He created more than 2,000 Headless Horsemen and hid himself. By the time the Oracles caught up to the Headless Horsemen, he had already escaped in the opposite direction.
Ever since he gained intelligence, the Black Satan had never felt so aggrieved. If his strength was at its peak, he might not be afraid of these two Oracles.
Not mentioning the fact that the two Oracles had lost the Black Satan, Salin had already brought more than 1,000 captives to Daliang City. The captives were all Qin Yin's people, so they had not been mistreated. Rex had arranged for them to be scattered into the recruit camp, and they were not directly thrown into the auxiliary troops.
In Daliang City, the King's Mansion could also be called a palace. Salin did not live in the Magic Tower, mainly because it was difficult to deal with the demons around him. Salin lived in the backyard of the King's Mansion, in a small building near the Magic Tower. Now, the first floor of this small building had become the place where Rex handled military affairs. In the spacious hall, a huge oval table was surrounded by the generals of the Kushui Prefectural Kingdom and the people brought by Salin.
On Rex's side, there was a 7th-tier Sorcerer stationed in the Magic Tower outside the city. There was only one 7th-tier Sorcerer sitting next to her, and the other one sitting next to her was Violent Bear. This warrior who used to be a chef was now a Sword Saint. His talent was so good that even Sue was jealous.
Not only was Violent Bear's sword aura cultivation fast, but he was also born with extraordinary strength that others could not reach. Even if he did not use his sword aura, most swordsmen would die on the spot with one strike of his hammer.
Violent Bear could sit next to Rex not because of his outstanding martial ability. Behind Rex stood four Black Iron Sword Saints, two middle-aged men, and two young men. Violent Bear was now the general of Rex's Royal Swordsman Battalion. He led tens of thousands of armored soldiers, and was best at fighting on foot. After a few years of training, his military talent was starting to show. No one would have thought that such a person was actually a chef.
Rex also had ten main battalions, and all ten of them were sitting at the table.
On Salin's side, Eleanor and Isabella were also sitting next to him. It was impossible for a 6th-tier Great Sorcerer to stand behind them. The four demons stood obediently, including the Winged Skeleton. There was another person sitting next to Salin expressionlessly. It was Mu En.
Pretending to be a Great Sorcerer had caused him great pain, especially when he was surrounded by important people. Mu En felt like killing himself. However, the Winged Skeleton had no intention of letting him go. He still wore a black magic robe and sat next to Salin.
Nicholas and Sue were also beside Salin. Sue could now lead Salin's First Battalion into battle. Salin's First Battalion was also stationed in Daliang City. Because they had fought together, Rex's generals had a very good impression of the Metatlin people.
The people of Kushui Commandery had seen with their own eyes how this battalion of new soldiers fought bravely on the battlefield and became veterans. Since the start of the battle, the First Battalion had lost more than a thousand people, and more than three thousand were injured and retired. In fact, half of the people in this battalion had been replaced, but the First Battalion had completely matured and could bear the name of elite soldiers.
Salin used his perception to check, but didn't find the old assassin next to Rex. That old guy's strength must have increased again. This was very difficult.
Rex brought up the image of the magic map. The Li Sea was vast, and the image gradually approached the shore. Zooming in, the twists and turns of the more than two hundred miles of shore clearly showed the terrain of the shore.
"After I killed Messenger Cloud Flow, everyone retreated to the shore. My fleet has been completely annihilated." Rex used a magic staff to point at the coordinates on the 3D map and said, "The fleet of the ambassador group is very small, and can't launch an attack on land. However, the Cloud Flow people will gather all the Li Sea fleet here next. There's only a small town on the shore with at most ten thousand people. It can't be defended."
After Rex said this, everyone in the hall was a little dejected. If it was a battle on land, they wouldn't be afraid, but no one would fight in the water. Everyone looked at Salin, waiting for his reply.
