Chapter 84: Lesson (Part 2)

"Father, I didn't expect her to be so alert." The young man in brocade robe said uneasy. He looked like a playboy at the time, and did not show the intention of trying to make a tough move.

"Even if she is a level 6 mage, you didn't have anyone around you at that time?"

"There is a great magician around her, and I'm not sure that the matter will not spread."

"You underestimated Rex. She was definitely not favored by Chanak because of simple pampering. I only allow you to make this mistake for the last time. If there is any..." Dominic looked at his son with a cold face, and the young man in the brocade robe immediately sweated. Qin Yin's rules were not that the eldest son would inevitably inherit the title, and he had two younger brothers.

Seeing his son's embarrassment, Duke Dominic calmed down and said, "You are right. Rex can develop in places like Kushui County. Her wealth may not be lower than that of Pompey. If we control Rex, our strength will become greater. The empire today will not be as good as before. We must plan for ourselves."

"Will you send the Black Flag Army to chase?"

"Things cannot be done too obviously. They are going to Alchemy City. I have arranged staff on the road ahead."

"The people in Longya Town are a bit unreliable."

"I know that they did not surrender sincerely, so if something happens, I can also push it clean. In Persia, if you practice your family sword skills well, you will not let Rex slip away today. Don't ask about this matter for the time being. When you become the Black Iron Sword Saint, I will hand over the Black Flag Army to you."

The young man in brocade robe was overjoyed by Persia. He thought he would be punished, but he did not expect that his father not only forgave his fault, but also agreed to hand over the Black Flag Army to himself. The Black Flag Army was the duke's private soldiers, with a number of up to 10,000. In order to avoid suspicion, Dominic kept the organization of 3,000 people.

However, after Emperor Chanak died in battle, the nobles in various places had some selfish intentions and began to expand their troops. Pompei was no exception. In the past six months, the size of the Black Flag Army had reached 5,000 people, and five flag regiments could be formed.

Rex and others ran for two hundred miles. The horse was exhausted and stopped. She dismounted, took out the map, and called Salin and others.

"We didn't have time to cross the river. We walked from the river west and wanted to reach Alchemy City. There was only one way." Rex pointed to the map and went to the small town ahead, saying, "Longya Town, here we will be in trouble."

"Trouble? It's almost four hundred miles away from Pompei!" Salin looked at the map. Two hundred miles west of Longya Town was a big city. It was quite difficult for Pompei to control it.

"That's why trouble, something happened to us here, Dominic can push it clean."

"We can give up the war horse and climb over this mountainous area." Salin pointed to the east of the main road.

"Sarin, I did something wrong this time. However, I can't stand such humiliation. Don't you want to teach the other party a lesson?" Rex was forced to abandon the ship and fled. If even Dragon Ya Town had to go around, it would be an indelible shame for her.

Longya Town is just a small town of 20,000 to 30,000 people, and there is not even a magic tower. Rex refused to escape again. She wanted to teach Dominic in Pompeii a little bit of a lesson. If he offended himself, he would not want to live a good life safely in the future.

Salin thought about it and felt that Rex's words made sense. If even Longya Town did not dare to go away, other nobles would be bullied in the future. If Kushui County wants to develop, they cannot swallow their anger. Pompey has a magic tower and tens of thousands of troops, but Longya Town has at most a family and a thousand private soldiers.

"What should I do?"

"Longya Town is a distribution center for armor and weapons, with not many magicians. If we want to go there, we must pass through the town. Without magic towers, we will not encounter threats from mages. After passing Longya Town, there is no plain around, there is only one road. They will choose to let us in before taking action."

"How many people can Longya Town be mobilized?" Salin looked at Rex and enlarged the map of Longya Town. The streets in the town were marked. The terrain was narrow, not suitable for cavalry, nor for mages.

"Everyone, no less than 14,000."

"So many!" Salin began to feel unsure. There was still a possibility of taking advantage of more than a thousand people. Once the enemy exceeded ten thousand, the four people on his side would have to fight head-on.

"Sarin, we still have twelve constructed puppets. This time we can test the power of constructed puppets." Rex was not worried at all. As long as there was no magic tower, her constructed puppets would be difficult to destroy. No matter how many enemies there were, as long as we found the opponent's elite and slaughtered them with constructed puppets, the enemy would lose the courage to fight.

This is something Salin doesn't understand. In a large-scale battle, if one side loses more than 10%, its morale will fall to the end. If it exceeds 20%, the army will collapse. If it loses more than half of the losses, it is best not to touch the army that can continue to fight. However, that kind of steel army will definitely not exist in Longya Town.

Only then did Salin remember that the constructed puppets he and Rex obtained in the Divine Punishment Hell could also participate in the battle.

"Will it be more worth the loss?" Salin finally asked a very personality question. The drivers of the puppets are all advanced magic cores, and in battle, he will use a large number of scrolls. These consumptions are no longer something that gold coins can make up for.

"Don't worry, I won't leave Longya Town soon, I will empty the warehouse here. The only thing I worry about is that the people in Longya Town dare not attack us."

Salin felt cold. It seemed that Rex not only wanted to teach Dominic a lesson, but she also looked forward to the weapons and armor of Longya Town. Kushui County wanted to expand its army, so it was too slow to buy it alone. It was better to rob Rex here once.

"Rex, if you fight, can you kill the enemy or destroy it?" Shika asked seriously. After all, Longya Town is a city on the empire's land. It belongs to a certain family and is protected by imperial laws.

"Don't show mercy. Such a battle is to die. As long as there is someone who refuses to put down his weapons, we will continue." Rex's answer was extremely hard, and he could not tell at all the kindness he usually is to the people around him.

"Would it be too cruel?" Neris asked softly, and Salin could only glar at her. It was normal for anyone to ask, but only Neris asked, which seemed a little funny.

"It's very cruel." Rex didn't mind Neris's instigation. She took out the constructed puppet and replaced the magic core one by one. Originally, the seventh-level magic core was installed in the constructed puppet. This time, the number of enemies was a bit large, and the seventh-level magic core could not support the entire battle.

Salin also began to clean up his demon ring. There were a lot of things in the ring. He only left the bronze magic book and all the scrolls that had already written magic. The rest of the items were transferred into the Gift Ring. The demon hunting spider was in his carry-on skin.

Neris also took out two structural puppets belonging to Salin, and Rex's puppets also replaced with level 8 magic cores.

After everything was ready, Rex asked everyone to start to remember the terrain in Dragon Yam Town, and also specifically instructed Neris. "Behind Salin, the other party may have an alchemy crossbow. Once you find that thing, you should take out the constructed puppet and don't let Salin block it. The fourth-level magic may be broken by the alchemy crossbow."

"Sika, you have the best riding skills and you also have heavy weapons. You are responsible for destroying crossbows. Don't take care of swordsmen or magicians."

"Sarin, at the beginning, you use the bronze magic book, don't use the level 4 and level 5 scrolls, so that the other party feels hopeless." Rex ordered one by one.

She thought it very clearly that once she started to take action, she would never show mercy. But there is a premise that she could not start first, which would leave someone with a handle. If the attack started too strong, the people in Longya Town would be the most troublesome if they surrendered.

It is impossible for me to annex a small town here, too far from the county and cannot control it.

After giving these instructions, Rex took out the magic map and introduced the common military troops, weapons and tactics to Salin and others. She never regarded Salin as a combat mage and never taught this before.

The war horses were almost resting, and the four of them set off again. Rex stroked the war horse's neck, and a hint of pity appeared in his eyes. In this battle, it was difficult for these war horses to survive. There were too many enemies, and all she could take care of was people, and she couldn't care about the horse.

Qin Yin's lanes are basically over 12 meters wide. During the war, large vehicles can be allowed to pass through, and the road surface will not be damaged. On this kind of road, with the blessing of magic, it only takes more than two hours to ride a hundred miles.

When they approached Longya Town, it was already a little late. Rex and Shika were in front of them, while Salin and Neris followed behind them. Longya Town had no city walls in the north and south, and there was a fortress on both sides of the main road. This fortress was already very small, and it could be like a hundred people stationed.

Salin's perception was completely dispersed, and he found that the crossbow arrows in two small fortresses were aiming behind the back. There was no sense of danger, and there was no alchemy crossbow arranged in the fortress. After all, this is a small town and the imperial law, so this controlled weapon is not allowed to appear.

The four of them did not slow down at all and did not mean to stay in the town. There was a drunk man on the road ahead and he staggered through the road. Rex sneered and released a frost formation directly at the feet of the drunk man.

Originally, at the pace of the drunkard, it would just block Rex's way forward. The frost formation fixed the drunkard in place. Rex rode his horse by, and the drunkard was stunned.

Hundreds of arrows suddenly shot out from both sides of the street. If Rex and others stopped, the rain of arrows would just cover them. The drunkard could not hide at all. He was hit by at least a dozen arrows on his body. He screamed for a while, and gradually disappeared.

The black mist suddenly enveloped Rex and others. The commander hiding in the dark found that the enemy was prepared and hesitated. Within this hesitation, dark red raindrops began to fall within a radius of 1,000 meters. The dark red raindrops were strongly corrosive. The people hiding in the dark were drowned and ran out of the shadows screamed.
