Chapter 233: Viciousness (I)
[There's another more, but let's watch it tomorrow morning]
The Red Fen Legion, though essentially already a first-class thief. But after all, there is vision. The situation on the mainland is turbulent, and the days when they are left and right will soon come to an end.
Whether it is Yunliu or Tangulas, there will soon be a violent collision, sandwiched between the two empires, and they have nowhere to escape. It turned out that they were still afraid of the Duchy of Titans, but now it is the last madness. A direct attack on the regular army will not have very good consequences.
With the death of more than 20 pro-soldiers, Bivano was really angry. The pro-soldiers are the elite of the private soldiers, and the martial arts of these twenty or so soldiers are outstanding, if they hadn't encountered a large magic trap, ordinary hundred and ten thieves would not have been able to trap them.
The wounded soldiers were placed in the car, and the few soldiers who had fled were ashamed. No matter how long they have been trained, they still can't resist the fear in their hearts in the face of magic.
Magic is such a thing that when you don't understand it, you are afraid, and when you know it, you are in awe.
"You should see how many enemies there are on the mountain. Bivano's voice was cold, he didn't want to vent his anger on his own soldiers, whose loyalty was unquestionable.
"About 40 people, all killed. One of the soldiers replied boldly.
"It's ruthless. Bifano glanced at the low hill. Some machinery is placed on the mountain, and after shooting a rain of arrows, it attracts people to go up and then triggers magic traps. All those who operated the machines died too. The Red Fen Legion is going to fight for attrition.
"A few of you. Bivano said to the fleeing soldier: "Now, go back at once, the ambush must have been a clue on the way, and know that we have changed the course of our advance." There aren't many villages around here, find out who released the news, and then, kill them all!"
Although Saleen's magic chariot was far away, Bivano's words were heard word for word. This little duke is so vicious, even if some villagers become the eyes and ears of the Red Fen Legion, they are forced to be helpless, he kills people and has prestige, and he doesn't have to slaughter them all.
What's more, these villagers were his subjects, and they had to pay him taxes every year. The Red Fen Legion's ability to control nearby villages is also related to his ineffective extermination, and it cannot be all the responsibility of the villagers. How do you let the unarmed peasants deal with the bandits?
"It's cruel, isn't it?" Rex asked in a cold voice as he looked at Salin's expression.
"It's simply inhuman. Saleen looked up and looked Rex in the eye.
"And what are you going to do now?" Rex tilted his head slightly, without a hint of a smile on his face. She wasn't laughing at Salin, she didn't think it was appropriate for this kind of thing.
"What can be done, sooner or later these people will be involved in the war. Unless I can remove all the ambitions of the Emperors. Saleen leaned back, the cushions soft and comfortable, and the air inside the car was fresh. It's not cold either, and the outside is two worlds entirely. Neris leaned against him and massaged his legs.
"High Compassion, you are really an orthodox mage. Rex's words this time had a sarcastic meaning.
"Biffano is not my friend. Salin replied indifferently, he couldn't save those villagers, and he couldn't save them, and he couldn't turn his face with Bivanno now.
"He's not my friend either. Rex said angrily. The Bivano she knew before was not what she is now, at that time, the little duke had ideals and vitality, and there was no aristocrat's frame on his body. It's only been a few years now, and he's become a cold-blooded aristocrat.
The people on the hill were already dead, and there was no need for Bivanor to stay in such a place and order to move on. The speed of the team is noticeably faster, and it will take you at most an hour to reach the next town. The soldiers didn't want to rush in this kind of ghostly weather, and it was getting dark, even though there weren't many Titan monsters, and it wasn't always safe in the wild.
From beginning to end, the swordsmen responsible for protecting Saleen's two chariots did nothing. They just used the long sword they carried with them to block the rain of arrows, and they didn't bother to do it. The elite soldiers under Bivano, in their eyes, are also very ordinary. Even magic traps can be triggered, and such a soldier will be defeated quickly when he encounters a real enemy.
There were no harassers for the rest of the journey, and Biffano's team quickly came to the next town, which was a town of about 10,000 people, the owner lived in a castle in the countryside, the mayor of the town had no title, and knowing that the little duke was coming, the mayor hurriedly arranged for the team of more than 500 people to stay.
Salin finally saw the real difference between Yunliu and Qin Yin, the level of the nobles could be said to be supreme here. Everyone showed the highest respect for Bivano, which made him understand why the Agareth family was so attached to the power they were about to lose.
From beginning to end, the heads of those who were in charge of receiving them were never raised.
Unlike Qin Yin, there was no official residence reception in a town of this level in Titan, and Bivano and his party were arranged in a huge mansion, which belonged to the local nobles, and the nobles were not there, and there were not many people left.
Saleen and Rex were arranged in two different houses, hundreds of meters apart. Salin knew that this was Bivano's order, and he didn't bother to pay attention to it, and when he found the temple where the Red Fen Legion was hiding, he would see the opportunity to act again. If Biffano's army suffered too many losses, let Neris kill him directly. This kind of person, Saleen will never have a good impression of him.
The dinner party arranged by the mayor was still not attended. He stayed in his room, practicing his magic diligently. He found that he had been distracted too much by external objects recently, and his cultivation was not as hard as before. If this continues, I am afraid that I will not be able to become a magician for thirty or fifty years.
In the restaurant, Rex is not there, only Neris still goes to eat. She sat there in a big way, not caring about aristocratic etiquette at all. The soldiers beside Bivano were angry, this magician's maid was too much.
The soldiers dare not speak out, they cannot afford to offend the magician. Even Bivano was worried about Saline, the magician was not friendly to him, and if he did anything to Neris now, I am afraid that the cooperation would be completely ruined.
"My lord, urgent information!" a pro-soldier walked in quickly, handing Bivano a tiny note.
Bivano glanced at it, his brows immediately frowned, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Go and invite His Royal Highness Rex." ”
The soldiers took the order and went back, and they came back after a while, saying, "His Highness Rex is meditating and refuses to come." ”
"What's going on?" asked Neris rudely.
"You ......" the soldier was about to say that you don't deserve to know, but Nellis had already interrupted him, "I can tell Rex that you don't want to talk to her." ”
The soldier immediately shut up and looked at Bivano. Bivano's eyes flickered, and he said to Nellis: "The princess castle has a military situation, and the Tangulas Empire has finally begun to move, and there are probably two battalions of troops gathering towards the border. I'm afraid the striker has already arrived near the princess's castle. ”
"It's really important, I'll go. Neris pushed the table and stood up. Bivanno and the others had to ignore her rudeness, and it wasn't until Nellis left the restaurant that Bivano gritted his teeth and said: "When I arrive at Fire Dance City, I want her to look good!"
Bivano didn't know that his voice was soft. Nellis, who was already far away, listened to it word for word. Nellis had a happy expression on her face, and thought to herself, it's best if you can't help it, otherwise I don't know when my master will be angry. I'm going to summon a demon myself, so I have to prepare some blood food for the demon.
In Metatrin City, Neris can't find food suitable for demons at all, and she doesn't have to worry about anything in Titan, anyway, this little duke's people will have to deal with sooner or later, so it's better to feed her subordinates.
Ordinary demons are not as picky eaters as Lologara, but they are powerful people with strong muscles, and they will be pleasant to eat and chewy. Bifano was behind him thinking about how to torture Neris when he arrived in Fire Dance City, but he didn't know that Neris had already used them as food.
Outside Rex's room, standing guard is Storm Bear, and two female magicians are accompanying her to contact the family secrets. When Neris came, Storm Bear didn't stop her, just knocked on the door, and Rex let her in.
"Dongulas did it? a little early. Rex was calm when he heard the news. The emperor of Tangulas dealt with the Titans first, which was a good thing for Qin Yin. However, it was a bit early, and she thought that it would be at least another winter before the war broke out, after all, there was no news from the Principality of Divine Grace.
"County Lord, this doesn't affect our itinerary, does it?"
"How can it not be affected? Bivano must want to speed up and reach Fire Dance City as soon as possible. With such a move, Yunliu will definitely speed up to control the Titan, and his good days are over. Nellis, you go and tell Saleen, we don't care about anything, after taking the Stone Castle, go directly to Fire Dance City. ”
Rex knew at this time that if Tangulas invaded, she would not be able to calmly return here and enter the Purgatory Desert, and would need to enter from another direction. The longer it drags on, the worse it gets. If you meet the army of the Tangulas Empire in the land of the Titans. The only way for her to use magic to fly back to Qin Yin was to escape without a magician on the other side.
No matter how bad her relationship with Saint Rock City is, the value to the Tangulas Empire is still huge. As long as she is captured, the Tangulas Empire will be able to create countless reasons to invade Qin Yin, and the most likely thing is for the people of the Holy See to erase their sanity and turn them into a humanoid puppet to wage war in the name of the Kushui Commandery. At that time, the strength of Qinyin's internal resistance will be weakened a lot, and this is a civil war, not an invasion.
Running for the throne as the daughter of Chanak the Great, I am afraid that a quarter of the nobles of the empire will consider supporting her. It's not a good thing, but it will kill her.
