After Tangning's operation, the 5,000 City Defense Army soldiers were surrounded by the bandits.
The following battle was a very unbalanced massacre. Although the City Defense Army had excellent weapons and equipment, their opponents did not seem to be weak either. The City Defense Army in the encirclement was quickly slaughtered by the bandits.
Tangning did not stay for long. After killing the Magician and Warrior, she carefully left the scene and returned to the main road where Sai Wen was.
Seeing Tangning emerge from the woods, Sai Wen quickly greeted her," Young Master, you're back."”
"Yes!"
Tangning nodded as she walked towards the bird. He had already changed back into his luxurious noble outfit and placed his sniper rifle into his backpack.
Now, he was faced with two choices. The first was to fly directly to the Xiongmian Republic on the Skyfeather Bird. This way, once he arrived in the Xiongmian Republic, he could become the leader of the Xiongmian Republic.
The second was to return to Niolis City.
The war that had happened in the Xiongnu was the reason why he avoided entering the city, even though he might be seen as a timid or irresponsible young master.
However, in the York family, he was already known as a hedonistic son of a rich family. The addition of cowardice would not damage his glorious image.
Both options had their advantages and disadvantages. The former would be beneficial for him to control the future City Defense Army of Ge City if he entered the city directly.
Because the current City Defense Army had suffered heavy losses, after he entered the city, in order to strengthen the defense, he had to recruit the City Defense Army of this city. Since he had recruited the army himself, was there any need to worry that this army would not be under his control?
Another advantage was that he would enter the city to share the hardships with the citizens during this crisis. It would help stabilize the hearts of the people in the city and increase his prestige in the hearts of the citizens. It would have a positive impact on his future governance in the city.
He returned to Neolis.
The first advantage was that he could avoid getting involved in the war. The second was that he could still sneak into the Xiongmian Republic to do some inconvenient things. For example, he could use his flying skills to sneak into Columbia.
Then, he would kill most of the nobles in the city without anyone noticing. As long as they did not officially enter the city, it did not matter how many nobles died in the city. Moreover, no one would suspect him. In the chaos, who knew who killed those nobles?
This way, when the war subsided, he would be able to receive a clean, unconstrained, and unopposed country.
At that time, the Xiongnu Republic would be like a piece of white paper waiting for him to plan. At that time, he could do whatever he wanted, and the entire city would be centered around him.
However, he was still a little worried. Even if he killed all the aristocrats in the city, he would not be able to take over a clean and tidy Xiongnu.
Not to mention the other families in his empire, even the emperor would think of ways to squeeze some new nobles into the city to maintain the balance of power.
After much consideration, he still chose the former.
The Sky Feather Bird took off and carried Tangning and Sai Wen above the forest. By evening, the three of them finally arrived above the battlefield.
The battlefield had already become the territory of the bandit gang. As the victors, they were cleaning up the battlefield, and countless bonfires were lit on the ground.
Around each bonfire, there were more than a dozen members of the bandit gang who were laughing heartily. Some of them were gulping down inferior wine, while others were celebrating.
Sai Wen's expression changed. He had also seen the scene on the ground. It was obvious that a war had just happened here.
A war had broken out in the City of Ghana, where they were about to go. Moreover, it seemed that the winner of this war was not a regular army, but a group of motley crew.
Then, the losing side would undoubtedly be the army that had thrown their flags all over the ground.
Thinking deeper, in the region of Olivier Province, near the City of the Comoros, the only organized army was the City Defense Army of the Comoros.
If the City Defense Army had been defeated, would they still go to the City of Ghana?
Thinking of this, Sai Wen's face turned green. He turned to look at Young Master Donald, who was sitting quietly beside him. He felt that it was necessary to tell Young Master about the current situation.
He couldn't speak in the air, so he signaled for Auragon to find a safe place to land.
After returning to the ground, he didn't wait for Tangning to regain her balance before he said worriedly," Young Master, I have bad news. It seems like a battle has just ended in front of the forest. The losing side is most likely the City Guards of the City of the Republic of Ghana."”
Tangning sat down on a folding chair that Olagon had brought over and said," I know. I can see that the City Defense Army has suffered a lot in this war. A few of their main flags have fallen into the hands of bandits. This is not a good sign."”
Sai Wen hesitated for a moment and said,"Then, are we still going to the Xiongnu?"”
Tangning looked at him for a while and asked," What do you mean?”
Sai Wen noticed that Tangning was a little unhappy. So, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous." There's a war going on in Ghana right now. Isn't it dangerous for us to go in?"
We don't have any foundation in the Comoros. If something happens, who do we look for to help? Why don't we go back to Niolis City and come back to the Xiongnu after the war?”
" You do have a point," Tangning said with a frown." But, I still want to go to the Netherlands. The greater the risk, the greater the reward."
Going to the Xiongnu at this time was firstly to gain the support of the citizens. At least, I, as the lord, had gone through hardships with them. Secondly, the war would definitely cause damage to this city. If it was occupied by those bandits, the wealth of this city would be plundered by the bandits.
" Perhaps when the war is over, only ruins will be left in the country. I don't want to take over a dilapidated city.”
There was one more thing that Tangning did not mention. It was because of this that he decided not to return to Niolis City.
This was a city that had suffered a heavy blow to its City Defense Army. According to tradition, as the new lord, he would have the right to form a new army to be responsible for the defense of the city.
He was very clear about the role of the army. Coming from Earth, he had a very thorough understanding of the importance of military power.
" Political power comes from the barrel of a gun." With an army, he could be considered a true lord. Otherwise, he would only be a puppet with the title of lord, a puppet controlled by other nobles.
"But!"
" It's too dangerous, Young Master." Savin murmured." You have the responsibility of reviving the Lancaster family. You are a genius who could become a mage. It's not worth it to take such a big risk for a city."”
"What?" " What Mage God?" Tangning was shocked. Sai Wen, what makes you so sure that I can become a Mage God?”
Sai Wen looked at Auragon in the distance and lowered his voice. When the Heavenly Feather Bird was flying, you used wind magic, right?”
Thinking back to the magic practice she had done on the bird's back, Tangning nodded her head," That's right. I do have a gift for wind magic."”
"Other than his talent in wind magic!”
" You have the talent to silently cast magic, don't you?" Sai Wen asked happily.
In the sky, without special equipment, it is impossible to cast any magic. This is common knowledge in the Glorious Mainland.
On the way through the plains of Nicaragua, you successfully cast a wind spell in the air. Then, there is only one possibility left, which is that the spell you cast in the air was cast silently.”
Tangning did not deny it." Yes, I can silently cast magic."”
Seeing Tangning acknowledge his talent, Sai Wen excitedly said," This is great! Young Master, you can actually silently cast magic."
In the entire history of magic on the continent, the only people who could silently cast magic were mages at the Archmage level and the dragon race, the source of magic.
Under normal circumstances, Silent Magic is synonymous with Archmage. This is a fact that everyone in the Glorious Mainland knows.”
"Oh! I forgot."
Tangning thought to herself,'All of my magic knowledge comes from the York Family's library. This is basic magic knowledge, so the York Family won't collect it.'
