Chapter 214: Daniel's Attack (Part I)

The pirates left, and Rex gave the order. Have all the magicians do restorative meditation and prepare for the night battle. She carried a lot of mages this time, two fifth-level mages, more than twenty fourth-level mages, and more than a hundred mages below the third pole. The number of magic apprentices also exceeded three hundred.

These mages were not going to take part in the battle, but to take them to the city built by Saleen to expand the city's power. But now that the city is about to be attacked, the magicians will have to help the soldiers. At any time, no matter how strong an army is, there will always be casualties in a siege. Without a mage, the proportion of casualties would be very large, and the morale would be severely damaged.

As soon as Saleen encounters a battle, he is constrained everywhere, always trying his best, and in the end he has to rely on the Three Kings of the Undead, while Rex just has to make up his mind, and there are people available around him.

After all, Rex has accumulated more than ten years, and there is a private gift from Emperor Chanak, and there is no shortage of people and money. Even if it was equipment, Rex and Saleen sacked Dragon's Tooth Town, and they also obtained a considerable amount of weapons and armor, and they were all soaked in dragon blood.

This dragon's blood is a rare thing. If others want to kill, there is nowhere to find it.

Rex's handwriting was shot into the city by an arrow, and a soldier picked it up and gave it to Nash, the city's commander. Nash's father was originally a nobleman in the House of Lords, so he should be closer to Rex, but after the death of Chanak the Great, the House of Lords was leaderless, and the emperor himself was incapable, although he still didn't listen to Prince Sephiroth's arrangement, but in the matter of Rex, the House of Lords completely let go.

If you didn't believe much in the prophecy of Master Domelin before, as soon as Chanak the Great died, all the nobles of the House of Lords were shaken. Now, as long as Sephiroth doesn't give the order to kill Rex, everyone will acquiesce to the Prince's suppression of the Bitterwater Commandery.

It's just that Rex is the daughter of Chanak the Great after all, and legally speaking, she even has the right to inherit the throne of the empire, so it is difficult for the House of Lords to do it.

Sephiroth's method is indeed shady enough, blocking Rex and not taking the initiative to attack, if you attack the Imperial City, it will be your mistake. However, there are only two ways to cross Phoenix from the Empire, and even if Rex changes to another way, he will always encounter a Xiongguan.

In the past, Rex could still walk by sea, and the nobles of Lianyun City were not controlled by Sephiroth, but now that Lianyun City is occupied by enemies, Rex has no other way than to cross Phoenix.

Sephiroth did everything he could, but he didn't expect Rex to really dare to attack Stranburg. Even if he knew Rex would dare to do it. There are no more troops to be freed up, the north is in chaos, even the nobles near Yuncheng have died hundreds of battles, but they are all very strong, but because of the sudden attack, the small nobles have no chance to unite, and for a time they were occupied by the invaders for thousands of miles of land.

Several cities in the central part of the empire have gathered their armies to form an arc of defense to control the invaders on the northern coast, but it is not enough to control them, and Sephiroth must gather more troops to attack. Otherwise, when these invaders are well rested, this loose line of defense will be easily broken by each one.

The north was in chaos, and Garudan was also in chaos, and about one-tenth of the troops who went out were northern nobles, and their hometowns were in danger, or even lost, how could these armies have the heart to fight. The withdrawal of this tenth of the army also had an impact on the remaining troops. After all, the land that Galoulan had stolen had not yet been recognized by the House of Commons, and the nobles had no choice but to give up what they had. Hurry up and withdraw the army to Qin Yin.

Fortunately, the Tanggulas Empire didn't know what trouble it had encountered, and it didn't pursue it, otherwise Qin Yin's army would face another huge defeat.

In order to stabilize Garulan, Sephiroth must dispatch the elite of the Empire, the Royal Swordsman Battalion. These armies are the foundation of the empire and are not affected by anything. The garrison of Holy Rock City must maintain a certain number, and after sending a part of Garulan, it will also be against the allied forces of the East China Sea States in Lianyun City, and Sephiroth really has no one to send to Phoenix anymore.

That's when Sephiroth realized how difficult it was to manage an empire, and how much stronger his brother Chanak the Great was. The only thing he could control was Holy Rock City, and outside of Holy Rock City, his influence was definitely no more than a thousand miles.

For example, Pompeii City in the south is hooking up with the Yunliu Empire, and Sephiroth sees it in his eyes and is anxious in his heart, but there is no way. If the empire is too peaceful, he can naturally scold the Grand Duke of Pompey with a handwritten letter, and if the Grand Duke does not listen, he can also send troops to attack. But now, he can only watch the southern nobles mess around, and the taxes have plummeted in the past two years, and some nobles don't even pay taxes to Shengyan City.

Nash, who had been sent to Stranburg, was a dead man, and Sephiroth sent him a letter with a magic circle, telling him to hold the place and say nothing to let Rex cross the border. So Nash took Stranburg seriously and was ready to fight at any time.

The soldier handed him Rex's handwriting, but he didn't read it, and just tore it up. As a result, he tore this one. The letter burst into flames with a magical glow that burned directly in his hand. Frightened, he hurriedly threw it away.

"Rex, she's going to assassinate me!" Nash was furious.

The magician beside him hurriedly dissuaded him and said, "General, that's a magic feedback, this letter has been copied by Rex with a magic image, your movements, Rex already knows." ”

"So what!" Nash said as he refused. He suddenly remembered that if he went out of the city to find trouble with Rex, he might not be able to defeat Rex's swordsman battalion.

He had long heard that Rex had 20,000 elites, and although he didn't believe that a woman could manage an army, the number of mages in this army was several times that of an ordinary army.

He saw that Rex's battalion had at least 10,000 elites and a considerable number of auxiliaries. If he really went out of the city to fight, he wasn't sure. Although he also has a sixth-level mage by his side, I heard that Rex himself is already a sixth-level mage, and there are quite a few great mages under him.

So even if Rex scolded his ancestors outside the city, he had no choice but to endure it. Anyway, now that it's icy and snowy, the consumption of the other party's camp is much more serious than his own. In order to keep the soldiers from freezing, the daily consumption of magic materials for heating is thousands of gold coins.

Qin Yin is known as the Magic Empire, and its army is stronger than the other three empires, because there are a large number of magicians in the army and a large number of magic materials are used. The cold winter in the north, unless it is inevitable to frostbite some soldiers during the march. When camped, all the soldiers were heated with magic powder.

If you fight in the south, there will be magic materials that kill insects, prevent moisture, and cool down. It can be said that Qin Yin's soldiers can exert normal combat effectiveness in any environment. The only price to pay for is that these materials are expensive.

"Mage Zoro, you say, will Rex attack the city?" Nash suddenly became worried when he thought that the enemy was stronger than himself. He also thought that Rex would not attack the city. But this letter reminded him that if Rex didn't attack the city, should he go back to Kushui County? This time Rex brought more than 20,000 people, including 10,000 elites, as well as various auxiliaries and craftsmen. Arriving here from Kushui County, the cost of the march is a terrifying figure. There's no way Rex can just put up with it.

The gray-robed mage sighed and said, "I am a magician, and I don't plan to know about the affairs of the nobles. ”

Nash wasn't stupid, and although he was brainless, he could hear what the magician meant. Anyway, he couldn't disobey Prince Sephiroth's orders, and no matter whether Rex was determined to attack the city or not, he could only defend it, and it was impossible for Rex to let him go.

"General!" a soldier hurried into Nash's room.

"What's the matter?"

"We lost a squad of scouts. ”

Nash was stunned for a moment, and then reacted that he did not send scouts out of the city in the west, but something happened in the east.

"Who did it?"

"General, the scout didn't put back the flying golem, I don't know what happened. ”

"Send two brigades of cavalry...... Plus two brigades of infantry, go search. Nash, who was a little confused by Rex's letter, gave an order that he regretted.

The four brigades were a total of 800 people, and the total number of soldiers in his hands was only 5,000. If it weren't for the current situation, it would be nothing for him to do this, but if these 800 people go out, they may not be able to come back.

Qin Yin's establishment, a battalion has ten flag regiments, each flag regiment has five brigades, each is two hundred people. Each brigade was further divided into five squads, with a squad of forty people. Forty-man scouts will be divided into five teams to patrol, and these forty-person squads will be assigned a flying golem, and if there is a crisis, the flying golem will be released and fly directly back to the city. Or the big battalion, report the situation.

These scouts have the best horses, are proficient in archery, and the leader of the scouts is at least an intermediate swordsman. The forty men were divided into five teams, and all of them were missing, of course, because they had run into Saleen's army.

The five hundred men of Salin were all riding skeleton horses, the barbarians had hard bows, the pirates had hard crossbows, Daniel gave these soldiers command information on the magic chariot, and those scouts could hide from the necromancer's search, and the battle was over in less than half an hour.

Salin's soldiers had been healed by several arrows, and only two of the forty scouts were alive, the rest were killed. It can't be blamed that the scouts are useless, they don't wear iron armor, and in the face of the rain of arrows, they are simply sent to death. And Sarin's soldiers are all magic armor, and they are blessed with magic before the battle, which can defend against arrows. What made those scouts vomit blood even more was that the horses of these soldiers were not afraid of bows and arrows at all.

The two captives were captured in front of Daniel, and the necromantic flames behind Daniel floated, glowing green. He made the two scouts surrender with a single word.

"There are more than a dozen magicians here, all of whom will detect the magic of lies, and if you don't tell it, or tell a lie, I'll take your souls and check it out for myself. ”
