[The third watch is before 12. It's been terrible recently. I don't have enough energy. I'm afraid of drowsiness when I take medicine. My cold recovers slowly. Usually, I'll be fine in seven days.]
Rhine Duchy didn't expect Metatlin Kingdom to send out so many troops. It panicked and asked Scotia Empire for help. In fact, Rhine Duchy had a population of nearly 30 million. It had vast land and sufficient soldiers. However, the news that Metatlin Kingdom had a demon army had spread. Right, they also had a ghost army!
More importantly, Metatlin Kingdom's attitude. Because of Daliang City, Rhine Duchy had always thought that Metatlin Kingdom wouldn't help Qin Yin.
They were wrong about one thing. Metatlin Kingdom indeed didn't want to help Qin Yin, but Rhine Duchy itself was a fat piece of meat. They couldn't give up eating for fear of choking. They had to eat what they had to eat.
Two hundred thousand troops and twenty thousand demons. Of course, they couldn't swallow Rhine Duchy. However, Metatlin Kingdom had a population of more than 10 million and had a marriage relationship with Bitterwater Prefecture. Metatlin Kingdom's declaration of war meant that Bitterwater Prefecture was also participating. These two countries were definitely stronger than Rhine Duchy.
Scotia Empire found it funny. His Majesty Downey agreed to send troops, but used the Blackfeather Prefecture battle as an excuse to delay sending troops. In Downey's opinion, Metatlin Kingdom couldn't defeat Rhine. Rhine Duchy's request for help was to save some troops.
Lone Star City still had more than 100,000 troops. They could march into Rhine at any time. Rhine Duchy sent an envoy to Metatlin City for peace talks.
Rex just wanted to laugh. The war had already started. Scotia Empire and Tanggulas Empire had formed an alliance. Rhine Duchy still wanted to stay out of it? If they really wanted to stay out of it, why did they let Scotia's 600,000 troops pass through?
Rhine Duchy's contradictory actions were comparable to Yun Liu's.
However, because of this, Rex's confidence in attacking Rhine Duchy was strengthened. Rhine Duchy had more than 400,000 main troops. For a country with more than 20 million people, these troops were definitely not a lot. However, Rhine Duchy also produced mercenaries. Most men learned martial arts. It could be said that every citizen was a soldier.
Rex wasn't worried about the enemy's soldiers. Qin Yin had an advantage that other empires couldn't compare to, and that was the problem of food.
Apart from the Phoenix area, Qin Yin also had large amounts of fertile land in the south, central, and north. In Qin Yin's large cities, there would definitely be magic warehouses that could store food.
The Qinyin Empire's attitude towards food was incomprehensible. With a bumper harvest every year, and with the help of magic equipment, the Qinyin Empire's output was more than three times that of other countries, the entire Qinyin Empire was storing food.
He would never brew wine or use food to create magic materials. None of the great nobles knew how much food they had stored in their granaries. At least from now on, no one would farm. The nobles would have no problem feeding their people for decades. The food that Salin had asked for last time was the food that was about to expire in the magic warehouse. If it wasn't used to make elven pills, it would be used to feed warhorses.
Rex did not consider a large-scale invasion of the Rhine Duchy. She would let the nobles encroach on the main roads of the Rhine Duchy and block the main roads of the Rhine Duchy. The Skokenians did not like farming, and so did the Rhine. The amount of grain stored in these countries was probably less than that of one of Qin Yin's dukes.
Now, the Qinyin would not sell them food at all. The Rhine Duchy could only think of a solution from Skokenia. In the Chaos Swamp, Rex had already left an undead army. This undead army passed through the Chaos Swamp and entered Skokenia through a secret passage. Then, they headed south in the mountains and attacked the grain routes from behind.
In the Rhine Duchy, the mercenary groups had the most food. When the nobles felt that there was not enough food, they would, of course, ask for more from the mercenary groups. It was almost inevitable that there would be conflict between the two sides.
Rex did not handle too much government affairs. She did not even go back to Daliang City. She had to travel between the two planes and pick up the Mages. Her God Sifting Ring was used for this purpose.
In Daliang City, the palace had already been repaired. It was much smaller, and there were no tall city walls. The original city walls were destroyed. Rex did not build more for the sake of frugality. There was originally a city wall, but that was the remains of an ancient city. There was nothing in the ruins. Rex only built three Magic Towers outside the palace.
Some of Rex's subordinates had advanced to become Magic Shooters. However, before all the Mages in Seriger Island advanced to level-9, this half plane could not be leaked. Even Rex's followers were not allowed to know about it.
It was not that he did not trust Rex. It was that the Mages under Rex had a complicated background. The Mages in Seriger Island had lived together since young. There were no outsiders joining them.
The Life Mages in the palace were just like when Rex was here. They lived their own lives and did things that Winter did not understand.
Winter seemed to have forgotten his mission. A year had passed, but he was still guarding outside the Magic Tower and looking at that figure from afar. Isabella finally advanced to level-7. Winter saw her advancement, but did not take the opportunity to attack her.
Pope Dinicio could not contact him at all. He was also meditating, cultivating, and researching the mysteries of magic with the other Mages. These days made Winter feel safe and happy.
If it was possible, he was willing to live like this for the rest of his life. However, he also knew that he had to act once the Mages in the Magic Tower appeared.
Isabella did not know that she was being watched by a powerhouse. Her advancement was successful, and she did not want to leave the Magic Tower. However, staying in the Magic Tower for a long time made her feel tired. Isabella thought of her days in the Tanggulas Empire. She missed her subordinates a little.
Those people were all recruited by Salin, which was a pretty good result. It was rare to see a bandit group that could last for more than ten years. Generally speaking, if they did not stop after three to five years, they would be exterminated by others.
Some Bandit groups had existed for more than a hundred years, but they could not escape this rule. These Bandit groups were usually eliminated by the previous Bandits, and the later Bandits just borrowed the name.
Isabella stood up and stretched her body. Just like when she was in the Tanggulas Empire, she tied her long hair up and used a silk thread to fasten a button. This action was done by Bandits. A simple button was the most effective way to tie up one's hair.
Winter happened to see this action from outside the Magic Tower. A sharp light flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared.
Haha, you actually lied to me for so long. Rex is not in Daliang City.
Thinking of this, Winter stood up and left his seat, preparing to leave. If Rex was not in Daliang City, then the most likely place to be was Metatlin City.
He heard that more than thirty Magic Shooters and more than a hundred Great Mages came to Metatlin City. If he went there, he would most likely die.
Winter dared to cause trouble in the Sacred City, but he was not an arrogant person. More than thirty Magic Shooters were completely invincible to him.
Thinking of this, Winter sat down and began to plan. When he came out, he destroyed the seventh church in the Sacred City. This could not be hidden at all. If any of his brothers survived, they would definitely follow him all the way here. It had been so long, but no one had come to find him. This meant that the Divine Kingdom Knights were indeed all dead.
If he died, then the Divine Kingdom Knights would completely disappear.
The pope established the Divine Kingdom Knights and had complete control over the Cardinals. Now, the cardinals of the Cardinals did not have the guts to establish the Divine Kingdom Knights. The reason why he wanted that position was to rebuild the Divine Kingdom Knights.
Dinicio would definitely understand his intentions, but he still agreed. There was a serious problem with this mission.
It was also very interesting to wait and watch that female Mage. Winter leaned back in his chair and pointed at the begonia outside the window. Because of the Mages, there were flowers blooming in Daliang City at all times except winter.
This begonia was planted by Winter. After watering it with the Water of Restoration, it grew rapidly and then … bloomed.
A flower branch flew into the room. Winter picked it up and inserted it into the vase on the table. After doing this, he completely calmed down.
In the past, Winter had annihilated many powerful bandit groups. He was very familiar with the habits and actions of bandits. Isabella's actions allowed him to see through the disguise. As a prince of the royal family, Rex would definitely not have the habits of a bandit.
A bandit Mage? Winter was interested in Isabella. He really wanted to see what this Mage looked like.
If it were someone else, they would be worried about their daughter. After discovering the flaw, they would immediately choose to leave and search for Rex's real hiding place. However, Winter knew too well about the Inquisition. His daughter's soul had probably mutated and been made into a weapon.
Even if she was saved, she would have nothing to do with her body and soul.
Dinicio definitely wouldn't think that he had become so heartless, right?
Winter released a spell for the begonia — Poison Interference. Under the effect of the spell, the begonia, which had a weak poison, changed a few colors and then quickly withered.
At this moment, the petals withered and fell, as if they had experienced a long autumn.
The thought process of magic was indeed interesting. If a divine spell wanted to create such an effect, it could only be a curse — Instant Aging.
Winter continued to watch the beautiful figure in the Magic Tower while doing magic experiments for the Life Mage. He suddenly felt that he didn't want to leave because he liked this figure.
No wonder God said that Mages were all blasphemers. Of course, this saying was only spread among the core members of the Vatican and was not written into the Vatican's law.
The more magic he learned, the more attracted he was, and his thinking began to change.
If he thought like a Mage, he would be far away from the belief of God.
If he really had the Magic String, would he betray the Gods?
"Gold, it's Saturday. Why haven't you gone to get your new books!" Someone called out to Winter from outside the window. The name Gold was the one he was using now, a disguise of a level-three Mage.
