Chapter 213: The Battle of the Persecuted (Part II)
[I wanted to change it earlier today.] It turned out to be some of the previous mistakes, and I was annoyed. Let's go back and send a corrected message separately.,Send it in the work related.。 I checked it for a long time, flipped through the previous manuscript, and wasted a lot of time, sorry]
In the main tent of the barracks, Rex was questioning a magician with an angry face.
"Nash, did he really say that?"
"Yes, Your Highness, if you want to cross the border from Strand, the army must lay down its arms, and he said, you can also cross the mountains, and of course you don't need to trouble him. ”
"Nash's father was an old slippery man, but I didn't expect him to be a smelly and hard person. Okay, you go out, let's rest for a day. ”
The low-level mage withdrew from the big tent, and in the shadows, a middle-aged man appeared.
"The county lord...... Hey, now that you are the king of the county, you should be called Your Highness. "The man who came out of the shadows was none other than the Assassin Byrne.
"You can't go. The assassination of the Imperial General was tantamount to a rebellion, and Nash did not attack me, but only did not allow me to cross through Strandburg. Besides, if he can guard the West, there must be a great magician by his side, and maybe even a magician. You may not be able to get close to him. "Rex knows what Byrne is going to do.
Rex was also helpless, she brought her own swordsman battalion across the border, originally without the invasion of the army of Guderian City, the nobles of Phoenix would not dare to stop her, but now Strandborg is controlled by the army of Guderian City, the terrain here is narrow, if you do not pass through the city, the army can only go over the mountains.
In such a cold weather, even without logistical baggage, the soldiers could not withstand such a toss. It's been half a month of continuous marching, and some soldiers from the south have even been frostbitten, if it weren't for the fact that there were more magicians in the army, morale would have fallen long ago.
"Your Highness......"
"Forget it, Byrne, you still call me the county lord, I'm used to it. Rex said to the Assassin who had followed him for more than a decade.
Byrne glanced at several mages beside Rex, especially a middle-aged gray-robed mage, he stared at it, the mage was a little uncomfortable, Rex said, "Byrne, Basta can be trusted." ”
Basta is a fifth-level mage of Shrig Island who accompanied her back to Bitterwater County. This departure is half a year, and Basta himself is also in a hurry, but the things that Rex is preparing are definitely not something that can be done in a day or two, and he can only endure it.
"County Lord, I don't care what the imperial law says, Nash stopped you here, if you don't let you go, your army will be in danger, he has so much, it is already equivalent to declaring war with you. If you don't make a clear choice tonight, then Nash is really on the side of the law, and no one else can say anything. ”
"I'm not worried about this, there is a seven-story magic tower outside Stranburg, although the mage is no longer there, Nash's military mage can be used. The terrain here is narrow, and it is useless that I have more people than him. ”
"At least make an attitude first, if they don't let them go, I'm going to poison them. Saleen gave me a recipe for those under the sword master, as long as they take this poison, they will die quickly. Only Ichor can heal. ”“
Byrne's approach is doable, but the two sides are in a state of hostility, and the other side will definitely check the drinking water. If the amount of magic potion is small, it will not work, and if the amount is large, it will be easy to be detected.
In this case, at most, the enemy's combat power will be reduced, and the main officers and magicians will not be hit.
"Byrne, I guess the people of Holy Rock are hoping for me. Rex calculated in his heart that his course of action could not be hidden, as long as he roughly calculated, Nash could lead the army to blockade this place in advance.
If you don't fight, you can only take a farther detour, and you may not be able to pass elsewhere. It's even more impossible to wait here. There are only more than 10,000 people on the other side, and there are 10,000 elites not counting the auxiliary soldiers. But it would be too wasteful to use these swordsmen to attack the city.
Uncle, you're forcing me to fight with you! No matter what the outcome is, I've already lost half of my battle. In the future, Holy Rock City will never give itself any support again. Prince Sephiroth did not have the right to strip Rex of his title of county king, but he was able to control the nobles of the House and isolate himself.
"Your Highness. Someone outside the tent shouted.
"What's the matter?"
"I caught a spy, and he said he was from the north. ”
"Bring in, spy. ”
After Rex finished speaking, Byrne had disappeared into the shadows, and there were still two Black Iron Sword Masters hidden in the big tent, and Rex had always paid great attention to his safety.
As soon as the people who were escorted in outside the big tent saw Rex, they shouted, "County Lord, let me go." ”
Rex was happy, it was a pirate that Saleen had subdued, and she had an impression. The pirate was now tied with a leather rope and had his weapons removed.
Rex's sorceress Narnia waved her hand like a wind blade, slicing through the leather rope that bound the pirate. The pirates were also trained by Saleen. Bent down and salute Rex.
"Alright, give him a chair, and say, how did you get here?"
"It was Lord Saleen who asked us to pick you up. ”
"How many of you have sent?"
"Five hundred men, to the east of Strandburg, Strandburg blocked the main road, and we couldn't get through, so we had to send a few men around the mountains. ”
"It's only five hundred......" Rex was a little disappointed. If Salin sends more than a thousand swordsmen, flanked on both sides, or just bluffs, Nash will let him go. If Nash lets him go, Rex really doesn't want to fight him.
Seeing Rex's expression, the pirate was not angry, and said, "Lord Saleen has sent all the great magicians around him. ”
Laugh at......
There was one person in the tent who laughed, but it was Juan, the life mage next to Rex. Juan was already outstanding, but after Saleen arrived in Bitterwater County, Rex had been cultivating Salin, and he seemed unimportant. Later, Rex left, and Juan was not able to follow, but he was determined to stay in Bitterwater County and continue to help Rex take care of the county lord's mansion. Now Juan is already the leader of the Life Mage, and has also advanced to the fourth level.
Although he is keen on fame. But the cultivation of magic has never relaxed, and he is also a genius, and the speed of promotion is very fast. After Rex went to Alchemy City, there were more mages in Bitterwater County.
These magicians all have an idea in their hearts, the county lord was forced away by the Holy Rock City, so everyone will protect Kushui County and prevent Kushui County from decaying. So after Rex was away for a long time, Bitterwater County became a gathering place for magicians in the middle of the empire.
Although Juan is only at the fourth level, he can already instruct hundreds of mages and nearly a thousand apprentices to do things.
The pirate Juan laughed at him, and made no secret of his anger. Although everyone is more afraid of magicians. Juan had already put on a gray magic robe, but this pirate had seen a lot of magicians in his usual days, so he was not frightened by Juan, but stood up straight and said to Rex: "The county lord may think it's nothing, but Lord Saleen can still send five hundred people after the battle, I think it's amazing." ”
"Fighting, what's going on there?"
"There was a surprise attack by a fleet in the East China Sea, and it was solved by the adults. ”
This time Juan didn't sneer, the East China Sea Fleet attacked Lianyun City, and Rex also knew about it, so she took all the people and crossed the border from Phoenix without letting the mage go by sea.
The pirate's face was a little proud, and he said, "That's more than 10,000 enemies, twelve warships, and I also cut off a few heads with Lord Daniel." ”
"Mage Sarin, is it already that powerful?" asked Nania. Salin's subjugation of the Three Kings was something that happened after Rex left, and Rex naturally didn't know.
The pirate continued, "Lord Saleen has also sent two magic chariots. ”
"Magic Chariot!" Rex stood up, genuinely surprised.
"It's seized, Lord Saleen said, it's too expensive to make. The pirate let out a sullen breath in his chest, feeling much more comfortable. The magician in the big tent no longer looked at him with contempt.
"Well, tell me what kind of establishment these five hundred people are. Rex began to pay attention to Salin's support, and if he had two magic chariots, he could temporarily withstand the attack of the magic tower.
"Two magic chariots, twenty ordinary chariots, carrying some baggage. And two hundred of our brothers, three hundred barbarians. Each magic chariot has a fifth-level great mage and four three-pole mages. Mistress Daniel followed. ”
Although Daniel is only a follower of Saleen, in the eyes of others, he is also a great magician. Moreover, these pirates have always been under Daniel's control, and they have regarded Daniel as their leader, and when they talk about him, they can't help but bring out a respectful tone.
"The county lord. If that's the case, you can give it a try. Juan listened to the pirate's words and immediately encouraged Rex.
Rex didn't know where Saleen had recruited the barbarians, and she thought to herself that this was probably all that Saleen could muster up, and if they were to attack in the east and suffer too much damage, she would be sorry for Saleen.
Seeing Rex's hesitation, the pirate said, "County Lord, our five hundred people, together with the chariots, all use skeleton war horses. If you can't beat it, you can still run. ”
As soon as he spoke, he leaked the bottom. In fact, the reason why he was not afraid of the army of Strandburg was because the team of five hundred people ran too fast.
"Okay, then I'll write a letter to Daniel, and any of you will follow him back, contact Sarin's men, and we'll attack at night. Rex also made a quick decision. As long as she makes decisions, the officers below are naturally responsible for formulating a detailed battle plan, and she doesn't have to worry too much. This is Rex's advantage over Saline, there are all kinds of talents around her, unlike Salin, who must do everything herself.
A three-pole mage stepped forward, and Rex immediately wrote a letter, roughly asking Daniel to cooperate with this side and make a feint. Rex made a point of mentioning that he should pay attention to the casualties and retreat temporarily if the pressure is too great.
The letter was quickly written, and the pirate left the camp with Rex's handwritten letter and the Tritrem Mage. The three-pole mage didn't talk nonsense, and directly released a scroll to the two people, the wind speed technique. With the blessing of magic, the two of them walked like a fly, running in the direction of the mountain.
Rex wrote another letter, copied it with a magical image, and gave it to Juan, saying, "Shoot this letter into Strandburg, whether they let it go or not, and prepare for the night attack." The letter was Rex's last piece of advice, and she knew that Nash wouldn't let him go, and it was just a formality, a show.
