Frontier province, the city of Billes.

Surrounded by many personal guards, Qin Feng was visiting the Governor's Palace, and he followed the former Governor, Duke Patmick, acting as a guide and commentator.

After being treated by high-level divine arts, his injuries seemed to have basically recovered, but his face was still a little pale, and it seemed that his emotions had not yet recovered from the previous fiasco.

With a history of more than 1,700 years, this majestic city has not been captured by an enemy country since it was built, and for nearly 200 years, it was still one of the capitals of the empire. It was only later that as the empire grew larger and stronger, the status of the city declined to a certain extent.

Duke Patmick thinks that he is not a mediocre talent, and the soldiers in his hands are not much different from Qin Feng, and he has the geographical advantage of defending the city, so he can drag His Majesty the emperor here for ten days and a half months. When the time comes, Prince Eston, the master of his own family, will lead the main force to arrive, and he will definitely defeat the other party.

However, in front of the legions of the Star Fir Empire, this well-defended and powerful city was breached in only half a day.

It's a real frontal attack, not that kind of outwitting.

As soon as the siege began, Duke Patmick was shocked to find that the number of high-level mages in the army of the Xingshan Empire seemed to be too many, to be precise, the number of magic scrolls they took out was too much, almost terrifying!

With the help of the effect of the magic light mirror technique, when he saw the thousands of court mages outside the city take out boxes of sixth- and seventh-level magic scrolls under the strict protection of the heavily armored warriors and priests around him, Duke Patmick had a feeling of blood clotting all over his body.

Wearing a full set of epic gear, it takes no less than five seconds to cast a level 6 spell by chanting a spell, and even longer with level 7 magic. But tearing open a sixth-level seventh-level magic scroll is enough for a second, and a twelfth-level mage can do it.

However, the total amount of mana of the Archmage is limited, and for safety reasons, after spending more than half of the mana, they will stop participating in the battle, and even the leading commander cannot force them too much.

Therefore, the rank and equipment level of the mage legions of the powerful countries on the continent, and the long-lasting combat ability, the experienced commanders are all aware of it, and naturally there will be no shortage of means.

Due to the relatively short time since the establishment of the country, the average level of the mage legion of the Xingshan Empire is indeed inferior to those old empires, and it can be said that the gap is quite large, and it is no secret until now.

So Duke Patmick had been optimistic until he saw the mages each with a box of magic scrolls.

Before he could come up with a countermeasure, under Qin Feng's order, the first batch of magic scrolls were torn apart and activated, and in the next second, the overwhelming magic flooded the entire city wall.

Chain of lightning, summoning meteorites, inferno dragons, bursting fire clouds

The saturation magic carpet bombardment lasted for a full quarter of an hour, and the large Demon Feng Realm that protected the city wall only lasted less than three minutes before it collapsed, and then the defenders and soldiers on the city wall, even the powerhouses of the Holy Domain were difficult to resist under such a dense magic covering blow, and only the legendary powerhouses had a chance to leave the battlefield in time.

Duke Patmick did not fail to try to save the tide of the battle, and ordered the long-range attack units such as magic archers, high-level mages, and bed crossbows on the city wall to fight back with all their might, and prioritize shooting those mages under the city.

However, Qin Feng only released the Saint Realm once, and as soon as this large-scale divine power realm enchantment came out, it blocked most of the attacks on the city wall, and even those legendary powerhouses who were going to fight turned around and left the battlefield after seeing him.

Legendary rank and a high-level demigod fighting each other? That's because I think my life is long!

By the time the unprecedented magic fire cover was over, the solid city wall made of large blocks of green gang molten sandstone, which was more than 30 meters far away, was completely gone, and the streets and many buildings in the city could be seen at a glance.

As for the defenders on the city walls, and the reserve army on standby near the city walls, there were more than 80,000 men combined, and the vast majority of them were left with no bones, and only a small number of soldiers who saw the opportunity quickly escaped.

The seriously wounded Duke Patmick escaped with his life under the protection of several legendary powerhouses, and after emergency treatment, the first thing he said when he woke up was to order the surrender of the entire army.

It turned out that his approach was extremely wise, and when Qin Feng asked him to visit the baggage camp in the army, and when he saw the boxes and mountains of magic scrolls, the duke, who was still a little unwilling in his heart, immediately dispelled any thoughts.

As long as His Majesty the Emperor is willing, it is not a problem to bulldoze the entire Biles City with a magic scroll, what else can he say?

"Your Majesty, have you moved all of the Magic Guild's inventory?" He asked.

Magic scrolls are easy to use, and when there are enough of them, they can turn the tide of battle, and the Duke certainly understands this.

The crux of the matter is that the cost is too high; A seventh-level magic scroll, the market price is tens of thousands of gold coins, like Qin Feng's style, it is equivalent to smashing boxes of gold coins and gold bricks out constantly, which empire's legion can squander it so unscrupulously?

Qin Feng smiled: "My scroll, endless!" ”

Duke Patmick sighed: "Even so, this kind of play is too costly, even if you directly annex the entire Broman Empire, it will be difficult to make up for the financial deficit within ten years, right?" ”

"That's not something you need to care about."

Of course, Qin Feng would not explain that he had a magic scroll assembly line in his half-plane, and he could mass-produce scrolls at a low price. After ensuring the supply of raw materials and forming a sufficient scale advantage, this thing is similar to the heavy artillery shell production line in the Overworld, and you can produce as much as you want.

"Your Excellency, you now have two ulcers,"

In the exhibition hall of the Governor's Palace, Qin Feng played with a beautifully crafted blue and gold saber in his hand, and said indifferently: "One is to go to the local government, starting from a municipal administrative official, and the title is reduced to a viscount. As long as you perform well, you can revert to the rank of Count after three years, so that after nine years, you can become a Duke again and have a certain chance to serve in the Imperial Center. ”

The Duke of Patmick was very moved, and it only took nine years to prove his loyalty, and then he could restore his original territorial authority, which was really quite a good condition.

"Your Majesty's handling is very magnanimous, but the minister still wants to hear about another sustenance." Duke Patmick said.

"The other is to act as a lobbyist for me to persuade Prince Eston to surrender. As long as you do this, you can immediately become the real power lord of the empire, and the title power is not a lot, how about it? ”
