[There's only one more chapter left. The double monthly votes will be over. Don't wait and see, heh …]
On the 8th floor of the magic tower, there was another person next to Rex.
This person was Byrne, who had yet to show himself. Byrne looked even older. His hair was cut very short, and there was a patch of gray.
"Princess, I'm back."
"How's your daughter?" Rex asked with concern.
"It's all arranged. Your teacher agreed to teach her magic." Byrne was a bit excited. Although Rex's teacher was not a 9th Rank Magic Shooter, his strength was similar. He was the most powerful existence in the Bitterwater Prefecture. His daughter had actually become his student. This made Byrne very satisfied.
"Byrne, I need your help now." Rex sat there, his tone a bit heavy.
Byrne smiled. "Princess, even if I didn't have this mission, my life wouldn't be long. Becoming an assassin is something that can't be helped. But I'm lucky enough to follow you, and my life has been very peaceful. I'll gather people to do whatever you need. Princess, please give the order. "
Byrne's expression became solemn as he said this.
"Byrne, the Tanggulas Empire used envoys to launch this assassination. You saw it when you entered the city, right?"
"Yes, Princess, I came back late."
"Not late. It was a terrifying assassination. I'm lucky to be sitting here. Byrne, although you're an assassin, you also know that an assassination shouldn't be like this. The Tanggulas people crossed everyone's bottom line. I've decided to take revenge. "
"Princess, what do you want?" Byrne didn't ask anything else. He only asked about the bottom line of the mission.
"At least 12 Cardinals. I want their heads. Also, I need at least a hundred nobles of the Tanggulas Empire to be buried with them. "
"Bloody strike? Princess … "
"Assassinating a large number of nobles is not allowed. I understand," Rex said coldly. "The Tanggulas Empire must pay a heavy price. You can use any means. I won't set any moral requirements for you. "
"What about the city?"
"You don't have to deal with the matters in the city. The bloody strike must be carried out as soon as possible. You … what kind of support do you need?"
"I need some poison that can only be refined by His Highness Salin's Water Flame Alchemy," Byrne answered calmly. If he left Rex once, he might not be able to come back. It wasn't so easy to assassinate a priest at the level of a cardinal.
In Tanggulas, a priest of this level would not act alone. For an assassin, it was very likely that he would not be able to return alive.
However, things would be much easier if Rex allowed him to do whatever he wanted. First killing the nobles, then killing the priests. During this period, it was possible that many innocent people would be implicated.
Rex didn't even give him a list. She just said a number, which meant that Rex's anger had exceeded the limits of what she could tolerate.
"You don't need any other help?"
"There's no need for that, Your Highness. I have a hundred and six assassins under me. It's more than enough to complete such a mission. "
"I don't know if they can come back alive. But you, you must survive. " Rex said to Byrne seriously. She took out a grey dagger and handed it to Byrne.
Byrne took the dagger. Then, Rex took out a set of leather armor and said to Byrne, "This was given to me by Salin. I think it will suit you very well."
It was a seamless leather armor that was covered with magic patterns. The thick leather armor exuded an aura of vicissitudes. Byrne took the leather armor and realized that it was frighteningly light. It was as if he was holding a piece of paper.
"This was worn by a level-10 assassin. Salin and I have tested it. Middle-level magic and divine arts have no effect on this leather armor. It's completely immune, "Rex explained to Byrne.
"Princess!"
"You can only come back alive if you wear this. I don't want Adele to be disappointed. You … "Rex didn't continue. She also knew that Byrne was the most dangerous person in the entire mission. He could only survive if he wore this leather armor.
It was just a possibility.
This was almost a suicide mission, and Byrne would definitely complete it perfectly.
Bloody strikes were popular a thousand years ago. It was an unscrupulous act of revenge by a noble against another noble. One of them was to kill a hundred relatives of the enemy noble.
Rex never thought that she would use such a method of revenge. However, the assassination attempt by the Vatican made her understand that no matter where she was, she would be attacked by the Vatican. Even if she was in her own city, she wouldn't be safe.
She couldn't tolerate it. She could only use the most extreme method. She would make the people of Tanggulas bleed until they were terrified.
Even if Byrne succeeded, she would still launch another attack. She didn't want to use normal methods against the Vatican. When the mages of Seriger Island arrived, the 36 Magic Shooters would open the Hell of Divine Punishment. She could quickly become a level-9 Magic Shooter. At that time, the power of the God Sieve Ring would be unleashed by about ten percent. She wouldn't have to worry about this anymore.
It was a clear night. There were no clouds at all. Huge magic beasts appeared in the sky. Their bodies were more than ten meters long. They carried the soldiers of the Cloud Flow people and flew over the city wall outside the shooting range of the watchtowers. They threw burning leather bags down from the magic beasts.
Salin walked out of the Magic Tower and touched his family crest. Because the family crest had absorbed the power of the angel in the Holy Kingdom, it could attack again.
Although the assassination attempt by the Vatican didn't succeed, it ruined his and Rex's wedding night. Salin didn't have Rex's methods, nor did he have so many assassins. His goal now was to kill a powerhouse among the Cloud Flow people.
Someone had to pay the price for destroying the house he lived in.
Salin tried to hide his true thoughts. Clouds and mist surged around his body. In the time it took for two vibrations, he soared into the air and rushed into the sky. Now, he could ignore the difference in rank. Even if it was a level-9 Magic Shooter, he was confident that he could kill him.
The thick clouds expanded to a range of 150 meters. Salin's control of the water elements was getting better and better. Within the range of the Cloud Walking spell, hundreds of tornadoes propelled Salin's flight. He almost reached the sky in the blink of an eye. First, he looked for the magic beasts that threw the kerosene.
The Cloud Flow people used magic beasts to set fire to Daliang City. This was a very annoying battle. A bag of kerosene wasn't worth much, but it could burn down many buildings in Daliang City.
On a cloudless night, magic beasts and Magic Shooters dared to fly thousands of meters into the sky. Because Stephanie had left the eighth floor of the Magic Tower, the no-fly zone in the city had actually shrunk. Flying above a thousand meters was no longer restricted.
Salin flew into the sky alone. It was a very dangerous thing. However, with the family crest, Salin could deal with two powerhouses at the same time and escape with his life. His flying speed was now terrifyingly fast. If it weren't for the fact that angels in the Divine Kingdom were pure life forms of energy and couldn't be compared to humans, Salin wouldn't even need to hide under Rex's protection.
The Cloud Walking spell was a flying spell that Salin had developed himself. Its speed had already surpassed that of a level-8 Magic Shooter. Rex was definitely no match for it.
Salin quickly found his first target. He controlled the clouds and quickly approached the magic beast.
This was a large magic beast with twelve meters long wings. Although it was only level-3, it was very precious. Because of the huge loss of resources, the Cloud Flow people had to use the flying magic beasts on their warships to attack Daliang City. Such a large magic beast could carry more than two soldiers and carry a lot of kerosene.
The magic beast was very sensitive and discovered Salin's arrival, even though in its eyes, it was only a cloud.
"Awoo …" The magic beast let out a strange cry. On the back of the flying magic beast, the two Cloud Flow people were a bit puzzled. They looked around, but didn't find the enemy.
However, the rapidly approaching cloud made the two soldiers feel danger. They controlled the magic beast and tried to dodge. However, Salin's cloud changed direction even more agilely in the air and directly enveloped the flying magic beast.
Snowflakes appeared in the hundreds of tornadoes within the cloud. Large patches of snowflakes were sharper than swords. They spun rapidly in the tornadoes and cut the flying magic beast into hundreds of pieces in an instant.
Blood sprayed onto the ground like rain.
At this moment, Salin felt the thrill of being a powerful being. The level-3 magic beast and the two swordsmen couldn't fight back against his magic. The two swordsmen also carried small alchemy crossbows, but they couldn't aim at Salin at all. Only a level-8 Magic Shooter could determine Salin's position within the cloud.
Salin opened his elemental eyes, and everything within a hundred kilometers was visible. Above Daliang City, there were more than thirty huge flying magic beasts that were continuously throwing kerosene. Salin pounced on the nearest target without hesitation. This time, he released more than twenty wind blades from two hundred meters away.
Elemental Conversion allowed the water element to vaporize and form wind blades. The number of wind blades was nearly ten times more than what an ordinary mage could create.
The second flying magic beast was cut apart three hundred meters away from Salin. The soldier on it screamed and fell to the ground.
Yun Liu didn't dare to lower his flying altitude. At such a high altitude, there must be someone protecting the flying magic beast. Salin's elemental eyes didn't see the target, which meant that the target's level was much higher than his.
More than ten Fire Crows were released and pounced on the next target. The temperature of the Fire Crows was even higher than Fireball. They directly penetrated the flying magic beast's body and left a large, charred hole.
Salin still didn't kill the soldier on the flying magic beast. Just let them fall. Salin had to conserve magic strings.
The fourth one!
Salin controlled the cloud and approached the fourth flying magical beast. This time, he released a concentrated barrage of ice bullets. In fact, these ice bullets already carried the power of the earth element, and their hardness surpassed that of ordinary water ice magic.
The flying magic beast had hundreds of holes in the air, and blood mist filled the air.
