Although this army was not a regular legion, it could only be considered a private army of the nobility. But the fact that they can openly carry swords and armor and appear on the streets of the Imperial City of Neuquén is a thing worth pondering. Imperial power in the Karlsruhe Empire has shrunk to such an extent.

Lin thought so, hiding in the starry sky at night.

The reason why I did so many 'performances' before, including the magic array over the State Guest House, and the various actions before arranging the night, were actually just small means used to hide clumsiness, so as to avoid letting people figure out the limits of their skills. As long as there is an opportunity to arrange, Lin does not hesitate to hold a steady hand.

However, it now seems that the long-term clumsy performance is not conducive to making a name for itself. There are too many untold trash fish coming to trouble me.

Just like the army in front of you, if you put it in other places, for example, compared to some militia regiments from villages and towns, they can be regarded as well-equipped and well-trained. But there is still a gap compared to the Empire-level regular legions that someone has seen. As for how much worse, a certain military idiot said that he had not seen them fight and did not know.

And the area in front of him, which seemed to be dark and dense fog, was not so friendly to the soldiers who were walking inside.

Because this dense fog is like a very clear world boundary, there is no sound coming from it. Even after the companion in front stepped into the dense fog range, even if he was only three or two steps away from him, the person behind could not see the figure in front of him.

This strange situation made the soldiers even more nervous, but the reward also urged them to move at the same time. Whenever this nobleman, who often served as a temporary commander, said such a thing, the reward given was really rich. It is precisely because of this that this rabble is also useful in the eyes of the nobility of the empire.

But they never thought about what a cruel instruction Lin had been given to the starry night sky that Lin had unfolded this time. All living creatures that enter the range of night without permission are to be strangled!

Therefore, when a soldier enters the range of the night starry sky, they can see clearly the building of the State Guest House, which was originally shrouded in black fog, but they do not see the soldier who entered before, and of course they do not see the magician who is the target. If there is an anomaly, the ground on which the boots are stepped on is like stepping into a puddle of mud.

In the next moment, countless dazzling white rays crisscrossed and shredded the soldiers who entered the night!

The human body, which was originally upright, collapsed like a pile of building blocks that had been pushed down, and scattered to the ground. Not only the bones and flesh are cut into cubes, but even the armor and weapons on the body have the same ending. And these small fragments were washed by the blood spilled at the same time, and they spread in all directions.

Because the starry sky at night blocked the sight and sound, the people outside did not notice this cruel scene at all, and just kept entering. The soldiers who entered later were also uneasy, completely unaware of the scene they were about to face.

There is also one of the most elite squads in the middle. Knowing that one of the opponents was a magician, the team was equipped with a full set of magical armor and weapons. The armor focuses on magic resistance, and fireballs and lightning strikes can't hurt them. Weapons focus on demon breaking, specifically designed to destroy magic shields, the best weapon for magicians.

But such a team entered the starry sky at night, and it failed to change its fate. They were like thousands of other colleagues who stepped into the starry night sky, and they were reduced to a piece of mud. With their comrades-in-arms, you have me in the mud, and I have you in the mud, and they really can never be separated again.

The strangeness of this layer of 'black fog' is not without anyone's vigilance. But the nobles who took the lead stubbornly and loudly propagated that it was just a shoddy trick. In terms of the number of enemies and friends, their 1,000-strong brigade was the overwhelmingly superior side.

The officers who were close to the nobles knew very well that the nobleman had to show such a strong attitude to strengthen everyone's confidence. It's better than him holding back and making the soldiers cringe. Their job is to make recommendations when they see the impossibility and stop the damage from expanding.

But that's not the time yet. That layer of black fog only enters and does not go out, although it is worrying. But depending on the scope of the black fog, with the location and size of the guest house. If the soldiers who entered in front of them successfully entered the museum, there would indeed be enough space for the followers to enter.

So, this means that the battle went well?

It's just that someone remembers that the magician seemed to have said before entering the black fog that if he sacrificed more than half, he would kill everyone?

That's what he meant by threats. And speaking of this threat, the number of soldiers entering the black fog is already close to five squadrons. So what happens next?

Several rational officers, who acted less impulsively, thought of this incident in unison. But what they didn't expect was that when a full number of five squadrons of soldiers entered the range of the black fog, the black fog instantly expanded, enveloping them as well.

At this time, they also noticed that the black fog was not pitch black, and they couldn't see their fingers. Rather, it has a low light source that allows them to see things. It's just that they were suddenly wrapped inside, and the difference in daylight from the original outside world made their eyes unable to adapt for a while. Some squint, others simply reach out to cover it.

Then, a net-like white light became the last thing they saw. No matter how many magic items you have, you can't withstand this high-temperature, high-energy, numerous and dense line-cutting attack. This group of soldiers and noble officers with unknown conditions, like the soldiers who had taken the initiative to enter the range of the night starry sky before, became a mud mixed with flesh and blood.

After the attack, the magic of the night sky quickly retracted, and the surroundings of the State Guest House returned to a clear and sunny appearance. In the Karlsruhe Empire, it is rare to have such weather in late autumn.

But on the ground, it's not so friendly. Near the State Guest House, there were nearly 100 severed limbs that had been skewered as meat skewers. In the distance, the position of the original aristocratic private army and its front were like a red carpet. The bright red color only gave people an ominous feeling, and if you got closer, you could still be smoked by the tangy fishy smell until you fainted.

The spies who were hiding around and observing the battle at the State Guest House were all shocked by the scene in front of them.

Instigating an impulsive guy to come forward is a common tactic used by many people. In fact, many of the soldiers in that thousand-strong brigade came from other families. Otherwise, the person who took the lead alone would not be able to make a large team alone.

Although the private armies were not as strong as the regular legions, the nobles provided better force than the average adventurer or mercenary. Using this strength to attack sixteen elves and one human mage, when the other party is harassed all night, should be a task that can be captured.

But the outcome of this mission was not expected by anyone. The thousand-strong brigade was killed, but the target was unscathed......

In contrast, the ragtag army sent out to sneak attack the State Guest House last night has achieved relatively large results. At least they smashed a small part of the guest house, and judging by the appearance and number of elves when they went out to protest with corpses, they must have been injured, and maybe even killed.

The loss of such a brigade can be said to be a nerve-wracking blow to the forces behind it. No matter how low the imperial power was, the Imperial City of Neuquén was not a place where private armies gathered and flames broke out from time to time.

Moreover, although this brigade is 'made up', it has unified equipment and training, so you can imagine how much effort the people behind it have put in. Now, it's all gone......

Such news was quickly passed on to those who were concerned about the situation at the State Guest House. The small group of people who had followed the magician remembered a rumor they had seen.

As one of the five empires, the Vida military state put that magician on the list of purple levels. And what does the purple list mean? This means that unless the target has a definite malicious act against the militaristic state that could lead to its annihilation, the militaristic state will ignore whatever the target does. To put it simply, I can't afford to mess with you, I can take a detour.

Of course, the gods are in the purple list of all empires, and there are some Abyss Lords who have come to report to the land in a daze. The Dharma Saint is not necessarily eligible to enter this list, unless the other party's five-story magic tower is built within the borders. But the magician went in. Not only the Vida militarists, but also the Gwana Empire.

The reason for this is that, according to rumors, the magician once destroyed a brigade of the regular army of the militarists in an instant in public. Because this news is too exaggerated, and the place where it happened is too far away to verify, most of the nobles who have heard this news regard it as a talking point to mock the Vida militarism, and ridicule the other party for not being worthy of being ranked among the five major empires with Karlsruhe.

But now it seems...... There is a good chance that the rumor is true. Otherwise, it is impossible to explain how the losses of your side were caused.

Subsequent anomalies around the State Guest House around the time of the black fog. And all the actions of the magician who walked out of the guest house and were exposed to the eyes of everyone were put on the head of the magicians related to these nobles.

The idea is simple, this kind of strategic-level magic must have its signs. As long as these things can be confirmed, then there is a chance to stop the magic before it starts, which is more secure than carrying the magic.

Not to mention the actions of those who were hiding in the shadows, Lin returned to the guest house after finishing work, and all the elves stared at him with strange eyes, except for the blind girl Miriam.

The elves knew that this mage was a human equal to their World Tree Majesty. But his performance in the eyes of outsiders has always been that wisdom that is very different from the delicacy of the land is qualified to make people look high. If you want to be able to fight, most people still focus on the companion who may be the demon king thousands of years ago. No one thought that the other party was really quite dangerous.

Only Miriam, Azard, and William? The height of a person like Greco has a way to judge the height of a person from the essence. In their 'eyes', it's like looking up at an elephant at the height of an ant. They can't explain the reason for this feeling, and they certainly can't warn anyone else.

Probably only Fen knows where someone's temperament comes from. Originating from the eighteenth-story inverted one-level plane tower of the life-threatening relationship, that is the true self of this man. Because Finn himself is also a 'person' in this rank.

Not God, but also with God. Except for the Godhead that embodies the faith of the human heart, they are no different from God.
