Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage

At this time, the Port of Rotterdam was no longer as prosperous as it used to be. There were only a few two-masted light cruisers and merchant ships in the port. These were ships belonging to the Ludwik family, and the other merchant ships had long since disappeared.

Every shop on the bustling Cross Street is now closed. Businessmen have long since fled the city, leaving only a few clerks to guard their goods. Although the war between nobles should not affect the common people, after all, swords have no eyes, and there is no excuse for being accidentally injured.

Archduke Fernand did not expect that things would turn out like this. Duke Stewart and the Floating City did not show up, but the Teutonic Knights, who were unable to fight, came to help. They held on until Alicia and the others came back, but the result was a failure.

He also sent a message to the Church of the Goddess of Magic, saying that since the women were back, he could ask them about the whereabouts of the floating city. If the church took them away, wouldn't his dilemma be solved? However, he has not received any reply so far.

Alicia is the princess of the Silver Dragon Clan, Carlottani and Onelia are both legendary level, and they only have a cooperative relationship with Duke Stuart. Even the Church of the Goddess of Magic cannot arrest people and question them about the whereabouts of the floating city. .

It was normal for nobles to surrender if they could not win the war, and they would not be laughed at. Therefore, Archduke Fernand also sent an envoy to Alicia to express his intention to surrender, but unfortunately no agreement was reached.

The troops of the Stewart Territory have occupied all the territories of the Ludwick family except the Port of Rotterdam and Amsterdam. What qualifications do you, Archduke Fernand, have to talk about surrender? However, Alicia would not say so bluntly that this was not in compliance with the rules of the nobility, but would require Archduke Fernand to pay sufficient compensation.

Alicia made it clear that don't think that the mage tower can withstand the army led by Stewart. She is sure to knock down the mage tower. These two cities and everything in them are spoils of war. If you want to surrender, you must take them. Additional property to pay compensation.

Mainland China has a long history, and this compensation also has a default amount, which means it is calculated according to the loss caused by one party to the other party. Archduke Fernand's behavior of deceiving people to go to Dunkirk for talks and then planning an attack was the worst kind, and the compensation required was also the highest. Especially since he was the one who took the initiative to declare war, the compensation for surrender would be doubled, which he couldn't afford.

According to the rules of the nobility, if the defeated party can pay the ransom and compensation, then the victorious party must allow the defeated party to surrender, but if it cannot pay, then you can die.

Pope Saskia Van Acht of the Poseidon Church was also worried, and he did not expect that the final result would be like this. There are a total of twelve counts in the Principality of Bihe, and now four have been lost. The belief in the great Poseidon has been greatly weakened. Fortunately among the misfortunes, he suggested that Archduke Fernand declare war in the name of the Ludwig family, rather than in the name of the Principality of Benedictine, and at least the religious areas of eight counts were preserved.

Not to mention the church, even Poseidon Velko has to admit to the current situation, because he has nothing to do. Every once in a while, a heroic figure will appear on the continent, and the country where he lives and the true God he believes in will benefit from this. This time it is just the Poseidon's turn to be unlucky.

Outside Rotterdam, the soldiers led by Stewart were already in position and preparing to attack the city.

Eric Bernard, the eighth-level knight who was in charge of commanding the battle, ordered: "Please ask the mages to take off."

Several fifth-level mages used "flying skills" to reach the sky. From their positions, they could easily see the situation on the city wall. They probably felt that they could not defend it. There were no defenders on the outer city at all.

After the news came back, Knight Eric Bernard immediately ordered: "Knight, go and open the city gate."

Several low-level magicians stepped forward and blessed the ten knights with "Light Spirit Technique" and "Spider Walking Technique". The former could reduce the weight of the armor, and the latter allowed them to climb the city wall like Spider-Man.

According to the intelligence, Archduke Fernand now only has two masters, two fifth-level mages, and four knights, so ten knights are dispatched at a time to open the city gate, even if there is an ambush secretly. But in fact, the knight Eric Bernard thought too much. He didn't see a single soldier of the Principality of Belgium until the army entered the city.

"The City Guards and the Tulip Thorn men are going to search the outer city."

Not long ago, Alicia transferred another 500 city guards. They have rich experience in urban security and are good at performing tasks in complex terrain. The thieves in Tulip Thorn are searching for secret passages or hiding places to prevent the other party from using these methods to counterattack.

The lion still needs to fight the rabbit with all its strength. Although it is known from the information provided by the local thieves guild that Archduke Fernand has not made any arrangements in the outer city, this is not an excuse for the army to relax its vigilance. The necessary preventive measures must be taken. .

After leaving some soldiers to garrison key points, Eric Bernard commanded the army to capture the inner city wall in one go. To be precise, the inner city also had no defenders.

Now there is only a castle and the mage tower built in it. You can see the soldiers on the castle wall from a distance. Obviously, the opponent wants to rely on the mage tower to resist.

Eric Bernard asked for instructions: "Your Excellency Alicia, I will send someone to come forward and shout to persuade you to surrender."

Alicia waved her hand to stop him: "No need, let the soldiers prepare for the attack!"

"As ordered!"

In Alicia's view, there was no need to persuade them to surrender, and it would be easier to kill them all. So under everyone's attention, she flew to the edge of the one-thousand-meter attack range of the mage tower, took out the "ratchet bomb" and threw it hard with a flick.

When the master mage who was monitoring the battlefield in the mage tower saw this scene, he shouted: "Run!" and then used the teleportation function of the mage tower to teleport himself nine kilometers away.

The distance of one thousand meters is very far for ordinary people, but for the ratchet bomb thrown by Alicia with all her strength, it is a blink of an eye. During this period, the defensive spells of the mage tower were intercepted, but everyone knew that this was just in vain.

boom! With a loud bang, the ground seemed to jump. After the smoke dissipated, the entire mage tower had disappeared, and even half of the castle outside was destroyed.

"attack!"

The well-prepared Stewart led the army and rushed over under the leadership of the knights. The soldiers who were shocked to death were killed before they could react. In this battle, no one from the defenders surrendered and all died.

The master mage who teleported away also didn't run away. He was stopped by Master Margarita Drum and Monica Bellucci who had been waiting outside, and finally had to surrender.
