Yi Nan directly assigned one hundred magic beast warhorses to Yuan, then spent a staggering 150,000 gold coins to upgrade a hundred Violet Light Armored Warriors into Heavy Armored Warriors! That was nearly all the money he had earned recently, almost completely spent.
Those hundred Violet Watch Heavy Armored Warriors began to transform one by one. Each of them held a purple heavy shield, the surface of the shield engraved with mysterious runes—runes that could even withstand magical attacks!
The purple spears were over two meters long, their tips glinting with a chilling cold light, as if they could tear through any defense with ease.
The evolutionary path of the Violet Watch was always infantry; if they fought mounted, their combat ability would actually be reduced.
Looking at this hundred-strong unit of Heavy Armored Warriors, Yi Nan felt even more confident. These women, clad in thick armor, were veritable war goddesses who could slaughter enemies on the battlefield as easily as chopping vegetables!
Very soon, Yuan and Luo Ling each led their own armies out. This time, Yi Nan didn’t hurry to follow. If his army now couldn’t take a single Rosen Territory without his supervision, he might as well bash his head into a block of tofu.
He went straight back to the castle and knocked on Aurora’s door.
The little girl acted as if she hadn’t seen him, continuing to read her book…
“Sweetheart, are you still angry with Yi Nan-gege?”
Aurora still didn’t look up, just gave a soft hum and flipped her pages even faster. The sound of turning pages seemed especially loud in the quiet room.
Her attitude made Yi Nan regret his earlier impulsiveness a little, but the increase in Aurora’s obedience value above her head gave him some comfort.
It was already at 72%.
Yi Nan walked right up to her, placed his hands under her arms, and scooped her straight into his embrace.
Aurora struggled lightly at first, but soon quieted down, though her lips were still slightly pouting, looking as if she hadn’t completely forgiven him.
“What book are you reading?” Yi Nan leaned close to Aurora’s ear and asked softly…
His warm breath brushed against her neck, making Aurora shrink her neck slightly.
She thrust the book in front of Yi Nan, saying irritably, “The Empire’s Criminal Law. Is Yi Nan-gege interested in this too?”
“That’s not something you should be reading!” Yi Nan took the book away at once. “Don’t be angry anymore, sweetheart.”
He gently set the book aside, then hugged Aurora tightly in his arms, resting his chin lightly on the top of her head.
Aurora wriggled a bit in his arms, muttering softly, “I’m not angry. Even though Yi Nan-gege looked really scary that night when he was angry, he also taught me a lot of things…”
Yi Nan paused, a bit embarrassed as he listened to Aurora’s quiet muttering. “When I have time, I’ll teach you some new things…”
According to the Empire’s laws, Aurora was already an adult. It wasn’t unheard of for girls of her age to marry and have children.
He didn’t say anything more, just comforted Aurora a bit, then left the room. As long as this little cutie’s obedience didn’t drop, that was enough.
She was his hidden trump card; maybe he could use her to deal with Will and Nancy, those two troublemakers.
Yi Nan walked out of the room and gently closed the door. When he heard the servant’s report, his expression instantly grew cold.
He boarded his carriage and headed for the Fu Jin Territory. That wicked woman—who knew what she was planning, suddenly demanding he come over.
Meanwhile, the war between Yi Nan and the other viscount, Rosen, had begun.
Rosen watched those Heavy Armored Warriors from atop the city wall, his scalp tingling…
As the hundred Violet Watch Heavy Armored Warriors advanced, the clattering of their armor sounded like the footsteps of death itself, pounding his nerves with every step!
“Where in the world did that guy get these things!?” Rosen couldn’t believe it. Even Nancy couldn’t have given him these warriors!
The military commander was also on the wall, staring intently at the Heavy Armored Warriors. “Don’t worry, Lord. Even if these soldiers wear such heavy metal armor, they’re just targets for fire magic!”
Hearing this, hope flashed in Rosen’s eyes. “You’re right! Quickly, have the mages prepare fire magic—focus their attacks on them!”
Soon, Rosen Territory’s mages gathered swiftly atop the walls, beginning to chant complex incantations.
Orange-red fire elements gradually gathered in the air, forming blazing balls of flame that bombarded the Violet Heavy Armored Warriors.
But they showed no fear at all. They raised their shields and faced the barrage of fire magic head-on.
Thunderous explosions echoed continuously, the bombardment lasting over ten minutes until the mages had nearly exhausted their mana…
Smoke and flames rolled over, obscuring the Heavy Armored Warriors’ figures…
Rosen stared tensely at that cloud of smoke, anxiety churning in his heart.
The military commander reassured his lord, “Lord, no matter how well equipped they are, in such a wild bombardment, they’re just waiting for death. There can’t be many left!”
Hearing this, Rosen felt a bit more at ease, but he still kept his eyes glued to the smoke, not daring to relax for a moment.
However, the familiar sound of clanking armor rang out again as one by one, the Heavy Armored Warriors emerged from the smoke.
It was as if they were completely unharmed, utterly defying the principle that heavy armor was vulnerable to fire magic!
Rosen watched, dumbfounded, as the Heavy Armored Warriors emerged from the smoke, looking completely unscathed. His heart instantly plummeted.
“What… what the hell are those things!” His voice involuntarily rose, filled with terror and fury.
The military commander was also in utter disbelief—this was beyond his understanding!
Could it be that their armor was all inscribed with magical runes!?
Impossible! Where would a viscount find the resources and connections to possess such things!?
The Violet Heavy Armored Warriors, led by Luo Ling, marched directly up to the city gate. They hefted their heavy shields and began slamming them against the gate!
“Dong! Dong! Dong!” The heavy shields struck the city gate again and again, producing a deep and forceful sound…
Every blow made the gate shudder violently, as if it could collapse at any moment.
Rosen was left dizzy atop the wall from the tremors. Where on earth did these monsters come from!?
The military commander was equally frantic. Forcing himself to stay calm, he shouted, “Mages, keep casting! Reinforce the gate! At the same time, have the ballistae change angle—attack the warriors battering the gate!”
Rosen Territory’s mages, suppressing their exhaustion from mana depletion, began to chant spells once more.
Seeing all the firepower focused on the Heavy Armored Warriors, Yuan ordered all cavalry to take out their bows and charge!
The cavalry, each riding magic beast warhorses, drew their bows and let arrows fly straight toward the mages!
Arrows rained down on the mages, the whistling wind like the whispers of death itself.
At that moment, Rosen finally understood. His army and Yi Nan’s weren’t even on the same level!
Did that bastard seduce some duchess, or maybe become Her Majesty Theresa’s toyboy!?
He simply couldn’t understand where a viscount would get an army like this!
