There was a small mound on the left front of the regular army, more than a hundred meters away from the entrance of the battlefield. The mound was overgrown with shrubs, making it an ideal hiding place.
Before the two of them noticed the sky, Tangning quickly flew away from the area where both parties could see her and landed in a hidden spot.
After changing into the camouflage uniform in his backpack and assembling the sniper rifle, he climbed to the top of the hill under the cover of the trees and set up the gun. The few people riding the magic horse in front of the regular army entered the scope of the rifle.
There were five people riding on horses. From their attire and profession badges, they were three high-level mages, one grand mage, and one grand warrior.
Tangning turned her scope towards the mob. She could not see a single Magician or Warrior. At least, judging from their attire, none of them wore a professional badge.
This was not normal, because on the battlefield of this world, the role of mages or warriors was very important, and their importance often determined the outcome of a war.
And this mob did not have the demonic and martial forces that were the main force of the war. Then, what right did they have to confront the army that had demonic and martial forces?
The four mages, led by a grand mage, raised their hands to the sky. It looked as if they were brewing a large-scale spell. The grand warrior held his sword with both hands and was on guard.
The soldiers raised their shields and stood in front of the mage. All the soldiers formed a circular defensive formation with the mage at the center.
The lethality of a large-scale spell was extremely shocking. If this spell was completed, then as the enemy, as the direct target of the large-scale spell, this mob of people with their backs against the forest would lose more than half of their strength.
The people in the forest were not fools. Seeing that the enemy had protected the mages, everyone on the other side realized that something was wrong. They shouted and charged towards the enemy's army. Those with bows and arrows shot their first arrow.
Suddenly, the arrows shot out from the forest like a black cloud, flying towards the center of the enemy's formation.
" Pu, pu." Most of the arrows hit the shields of the soldiers. The few arrows that passed through the shield wall were also pushed aside by the Grand Warriors.
The murmurs of incantations grew louder and louder. In the middle of the battle formation, red fire elements were continuously condensed by the mages, and a large-scale spell was gradually taking shape.
"Buzz!" After the rain of arrows, another wave of huge rocks smashed into the enemy's formation. They landed right in the middle of the enemy's formation, where the mages were.
"It's a catapult!"
Tangning's heart sank. No wonder these bandits were so fearless.
At such a distance, the catapults and the countless flying rocks were undoubtedly the bane of mages. Any mage who exposed their location would become the main target of the rocks. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for mages to cast large-scale spells with large-scale destructive power.
Sure enough, as the boulder fell, the Archmage, whose safety was threatened, had no choice but to forcefully stop the spell he was casting halfway. He spat out a mouthful of blood from the backlash of magic power and retreated toward the city together.
The boulder crashed to the ground, killing a few soldiers who could not escape in time. However, things were not over yet. With a buzz, another wave of boulders rose from the bandit gang and flew into the air.
Catapults were a useful weapon for the army to attack cities and fight battles. They were usually only used by the armies of the various countries in the mainland. What made Tangning feel strange was that a seemingly unremarkable bandit group actually had such equipment. This made her wonder about the background of this bandit group.
If he was not wrong, this city might be his territory, his City of the Caribbean.
This army that was backed by the city was probably the city defense army of the City of Ghana. He did not expect that such an unremarkable small city in the Brilliance Continent would have such an intense struggle and conflict that had to be resolved by war.
The grand mage hid in the depths of the team. With the grand mage as the center, red fire elements were slowly condensing. Another large-scale spell was brewing.
Tangning's knowledge of magic was not very rich, so she could not tell the level of this spell. However, based on the density of the fire element and her senses, she could tell that this was no ordinary spell. From what she could tell, this spell was at least level 8.
The giant rock came down with great momentum. The remaining four high-level sorcerers of the City Defense Army raised their hands.
Red fire elements gathered above their hands. When the fire elements had gathered to a certain extent, the mage's hands shook violently.
The fire elementals gathered in their hands were gathered into a red and purple fire dragon. With a dash, it shattered a few boulders that flew over their heads. The remaining two threatening boulders were also torn into pieces by the Grand Warrior's combat qi.
Another wave of boulders flew out from the bandit gang, but they were still blocked by the high-level mages and grand warriors who cooperated well with each other.
In an instant, the eyes of the entire battlefield were focused on the grand mage in the City Defense Army Formation. Everyone knew that the key to victory in this battle lay in the grand mage's large-scale spell.
As the Grand Warrior swung his sword at a falling boulder, Tangning tightened the trigger of her rifle. The target she locked onto through the scope was the Grand Mage who was gathering fire elements at full force.
The Grand Warrior slashed open the falling boulder with his sword and was about to retract his sword to defend himself when he heard a soft gunshot. In a hurry, he only had time to sweep his sword horizontally and cut a bullet that was aimed at the Grand Mage in half.
However, behind this bullet, there were three more bullets that were spinning towards the grand mage. The grand martial artist was in a hurry to deal with two of them, and the last one went into the grand mage's head with a whoosh.
With the death of the grand mage, the fire elements above his head suddenly lost control of his mental power.
"Boom!" Countless small fireballs turned the Grand Warrior and four high-level Spellcasters into a sieve. The soldiers surrounding them were also affected and became sacrificial objects for this large-scale spell.
Tangning's decision to kill the Demons and Warriors from the City Defense Forces of the Republic of Ghana was purely a spur of the moment decision.
Logically speaking, as the new leader of the Xiongmian Kingdom, Tangning couldn't help the enemy bandit group during the war.
However, it was precisely because he was the " new " lord of the City of the Xiongmian that it would be beneficial for his future governance of the City of the Xiongmian if he allowed the few powerful figures in the City of the Xiongmian to disappear.
The high-level mages, grand mages, and grand warriors in the City Defense Army were a political force that could not be ignored, no matter which city they were in.
Those who could become mages, or even a higher level of grand mages and grand warriors, were definitely people of the noble class. These people often represented the interests of the families behind them.
In general, this would create an unavoidable conflict of interest with him, the " new " feudal lord. In the subsequent contest, without a very strong backing and background, it was impossible for him, the " new " feudal lord who lacked backing and background, to win.
Instead of enduring the battle in the future, it was better to let them disappear from here. As long as no one saw him kill, who would be able to link the deaths of these people to him, the "new" lord?
In his heart, he could not wait for all the nobles in the city to die. In a territory without any native forces, he, as a lord, could be considered a true "lord"!
As for the war in front of him, what did it have to do with him?
He was still not the leader of the Xiongnu. Now that all the city guards were dead, he could recruit more. If the mages and warriors were all dead, he could recruit them again from the Mage Union and the Warrior Union.
The mages and warriors he recruited would face a new city and a new environment just like him. Everyone would have the same starting point. As a lord, he had an innate advantage. After all, he was the lord of a territory.
He wasn't afraid that the city was occupied by the enemy. He could ask the emperor to send troops and his family to pay for the lost land.
In any case, Tangning had nothing. A dead pig wasn't afraid of boiling water. For the sake of the Empire and the York Family, the Emperor and the York Family couldn't just sit back and watch as the City of Ghana fell into enemy hands.
Moreover, the surrounding area of the City of Xiongmian was the territory of the Rossi Empire. Even if the City of Xiongmian fell, it would be recovered by the empire immediately. How long could a lonely city hold on?
In short, before Tangning took over the city, the more chaotic it was, the better. After he took over, the more stable it was, the better.
