Fangzheng did not find it strange that there were people who resisted, even if he displayed great power.
This was normal. The baldy who was beaten to the island was still thinking about counterattacking the mainland.
Everyone had to have dreams.
Fangzheng had expected the resistance of the Barthmero Family.
After all, the war between the Thousand World Tree and the Magic Association was a rebellion of the lower classes overthrowing the upper classes. On the other hand, the Barthmero Family was a family that advocated absolute nobility.
What was absolute aristocracy?
That was, aristocrats were allowed to kill and fight each other because they were "people" of the same level, but the rebellion of the lower classes against the upper classes was absolutely not allowed because they were not people!
As a slave, how dare you rebel against your slave master?
This was treason!
Just like how the white people would never allow other races to stand up and rule the world, the aristocrats would never allow slaves to rise up!
Because only the aristocrats were the supreme, noblest, and most glorious existence!
Others could only obey the aristocrats and could not rebel against them!
If the Thousand World Tree that Fangzheng represented was also an ancient aristocratic family, Barthmero might have been able to accept it. Unfortunately, the Thousand World Tree was an alliance of those declining magician families. Even the Fiore Family, which was the main family, could not be considered an ancient and glorious bloodline.
So, in the eyes of Barthmero, this was unacceptable.
This was a rebellion of the lower classes against the upper classes!
And they, the aristocrats, had glorious bloodlines, noble bloodlines, a long history, and great power. How could they allow themselves to lose to a group of commoners?
Kneel to them? Beg for mercy?
What a joke!
They would rather die standing than live kneeling!
That's right, this was the absolute aristocracy of the Clock Tower represented by the Barthmero Family.
To them, the glory of the aristocracy was above everything else.
Not to mention the source, the warship, and the heroic spirits.
Even if you summoned Zhu Yue, Gaia, and Alaya, they would still resist to the end.
Even if they died, they would never surrender!
You want us to surrender with just a bunch of slaves?
Impossible!
You can kill us, but you can never make us, the aristocrats, lower our heads to you slaves!
Not even death!
These were class contradictions, irreconcilable class contradictions.
Fangzheng was also well aware of this. This was very normal. When he fought against the local tycoons, there were not many who did not resist until the end.
So what else was there to say?
Kill them directly!
Countless cannons rained down from the sky, but the Clock Tower of Time was clearly not a pushover. Soon, layers of shining shields appeared at the top of the clock tower, blocking the bombardment from the sky.
"It's an ancient mystery."
Demetrius glanced at it and immediately recognized it.
"It's not strange. After all, the Clock Tower has existed for so many years. There's bound to be some hidden treasures."
Fangzheng, on the other hand, was quite calm. After all these years, how could the Clock Tower not have preserved a few cultural relics? In terms of time, the Clock Tower itself was a mysterious existence.
"Do you need us to take action? MASTER？”
Midea blinked her eyes curiously as she looked at the metal battleships in the sky. She could not suppress her curiosity. This was also the second reason why these Einherjars were willing to come down to help Fangzheng. Although Einherjars would obtain knowledge about this world when they were in the modern world, the battleships brought by Fangzheng were obviously not within the scope of this world's knowledge. Therefore, many Einherjars were very interested in these powerful metal behemoths.
For example, Helena ran around the battleships every day, trying to figure out the principles of these battleships. If she was not a girl, the ship lady would have kicked her away long ago.
Why are you looking around in other people's bodies!
"There's no need for that. You just need to watch."
Fangzheng shook his head. He summoned these Servants mainly to hold the line, not to let them fight. It was not that these Servants did not want to fight, but in Fangzheng's view, the destruction of an era had to be done by the creators of the new era themselves. The Servants only needed to be in charge of watching from the side and ensuring their safety.
As for the real battle … .that would be left to the magical girls of this world.
And … .this round of attacks was just the beginning.
"Boom!"
Finally, under the continuous bombardment, the protective shield of the Clock Tower could not hold on any longer and shattered. Following that, colorful artillery fire whistled through the barrier and directly hit the huge tower. In the next moment, the Clock Tower of Time exploded violently. After the dazzling light and thick smoke, the tip of the Clock Tower of Time broke off and slowly fell from the sky, smashing into the ground.
At this moment, the clock tower was in a mess. All the buildings were in ruins. The entire clock tower looked like it had been turned upside down. There was almost no complete building left.
"The aerial bombardment is over. Next is the time to sweep the ground."
After saying that, Fangzheng raised his head and looked at the sky. Soon, a destroyer slowly landed. The hatch opened, and the girls walked out. They were wearing the school uniforms of the Rite Garden. Their expressions were solemn and serious.
"I think you know what to do next."
Fangzheng stretched out his hand and slowly flicked the greatsword in his hand.
"You've experienced enough during this period of time. I think you should know what our goal is, why we're doing this, and what we're going to do."
No one spoke, but the girls' eyes were filled with determination. Just as Fangzheng said, they already knew what they were going to do. And this was not only because of the teachings of the Thousand Worlds Tree and Fangzheng, but also because of the "words and deeds" of the Magic Association.
As mentioned before, after the Thousand Worlds Tree officially declared war on the Magic Association, the Magic Association had sent several teams to the Far East in an attempt to eradicate the Thousand Worlds Tree. In the process, they naturally clashed with the young ladies under the Thousand World Tree. Some of them even tried to kidnap the young ladies to threaten the Thousand World Tree. Some even planned to use more extreme methods to wipe the entire Ritual Garden off the map.
In the process of this struggle, the girls gradually understood the philosophy of the Thousand Worlds Tree and the nature of the Magic Association. Most of them were not nobles, so of course they would not stand on the side of the Magic Association. In their opinion, the Magic Association's behavior of trying to harm so many people just for themselves was unforgivable.
Not to mention, they were not only targeting themselves, but also their families, friends, and even their homes ….
It could be said that no matter how the Thousand Worlds Tree tried to reason with them, it would not be as good as letting these girls personally experience the assassination and sealing of the Magic Association.
"Flowers."
Fangzheng looked at Flowers in the lead and nodded.
"You know what to do. Defeat those who resist, especially the monarchs of the 12 Families — capture them alive. Of course, if anyone is stubborn and tries to resist to the end, then …. kill them. "
"Yes!"
Hei Tong Xianhua nodded at Fangzheng, and the next moment, her body began to shimmer. Following that, Xianhua's attire changed from a student's uniform to a pitch-black one. It looked rather handsome and resembled a trench coat.
"Sisters, let's go!"
After saying that, Fresh Flower waved her hand and leaped down from the city wall. Behind her, the girls who had completed their transformations followed closely behind.
They were not just simple spellcasters. After Fangzheng tested and observed them, some of them had been granted magic devices by Fangzheng and turned into "magical girls".
This was only the first batch. Soon, more and more people walked out of the warships, lined up, and marched to the clock tower.
Although the Rite Garden was the headquarters of the Thousand Worlds Tree, it did not mean that the Thousand Worlds Tree only had one stronghold in the Far East. In fact, in addition to the Rite Garden, the Thousand Worlds Tree had also acquired several schools in other places and found many children with magic potential in them.
In addition, there were also other magic families that joined the Thousand Worlds Tree. After all, the Thousand Worlds Tree was originally an alliance established by absorbing those declining magic families, so it naturally had a lot of talents. In particular, after the Thousand Worlds Tree revealed new magic skills that did not require magic engraving, many magic families that were originally hidden in the Asian continent came to seek shelter.
Not to mention some magicians who had been sealed.
Of course, Fangzheng did not reject all of these people who sought shelter. After observing the situation of these families, he rejected some of them and kept some of them. After all, as Fangzheng said, this was a revolution, so they needed companions with the same ideals and not opportunists who only wanted to benefit from the war.
Even though Fangzheng had given strict inspections, nearly half of the families joined the Thousand Worlds Tree.
This was normal.
The magic association had accumulated great power, but there was resistance when there was oppression, especially in the Far East. Most of the magic families here, except for the local ones, fled here to avoid the persecution and oppression of the magic association. It could be said that the world had suffered for a long time. At this moment, Fangzheng raised his arm and shouted, "The sky is dead, the yellow sky shall rise." Naturally, they rose up and joined in.
The people who appeared in front of them were magicians of the "new era" like Weber. Their families had been passed down for less than two or three generations. They had no accumulation of magic skills and were looked down upon and oppressed in the magic world. Because of this, their desire to overthrow the magic association was stronger than anyone else.
"To be honest, I really didn't think that one day I would lead people to destroy the clock tower. Even in my dreams, I didn't think about it."
Heine, who was wearing armor and holding a long sword, walked to the side of Red Ponytail. Looking at the mess of wreckage in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh. Well, he finally listened to Fangzheng's advice and stopped using guns.
"This is just the beginning, but it will be a new beginning."
Fangzheng reached out and patted Heine on the shoulder.
"Let's go."
"Yes!"
Under the leadership of Flower and Heine, the army of the Thousand Worlds Tree quickly moved toward the clock tower in the distance. At the same time, the spirits around Fangzheng also disappeared. They didn't go home, but they would patrol around these soldiers in spirit form and be responsible for assisting.
Looking at the ruined clock tower in front of him, Fangzheng's expression was very calm.
From today onwards, there would be no more clock tower.
