A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 139 The Shadow of Mahabray

The Alliance of Saints has received devastating news: Joan of Arc's daily obsession with purges, her inability to function without punishing at least a dozen people each day, has led to a rebellion among the nobles in the army, which is currently being suppressed. Many ordinary soldiers have ascended to the divine realm.

The news, brought by Chahara, is quite explosive.

"Someone! Take a headcount of the soldiers, we're going to give them some leeway!"

How could Jiang Shuzhou let such an opportunity slip by? He immediately decided to take action, determined not to let this mutiny become a bloodless one.

Want a peaceful resolution?

Let a bunch of people die first!

"Sprint! Sprint!"

Jiang Shuzhou led a group of soldiers directly to the camp of the All Saints Alliance. He was determined to cause trouble before the matter was resolved satisfactorily.

In fact, this matter has a lot to do with Jiang Shuzhou.

Because Chahara needed practice, and the army of the Mage Alliance was too obedient, with almost everyone following the law, the worst thing they did was go out to prostitute themselves.

Even so, Jiang Shuzhou gave that person a rather severe punishment, deducting one month's salary.

Are you trying to imitate American soldiers?

We sent you here to provide support, not to leave your seed!

Compared to the Mage Alliance, the Saints Alliance is completely different.

Every nobleman had his own agenda, and every officer had his own purpose.

Some came to gain prestige, some simply to enjoy the war, and some were just perverts who wanted to have some fun; none of them wanted to fight a serious war.

There are all kinds of people, and it's a time when all sorts of stars shine.

This led to Chahara being able to find a lot of dirt on these noble officers every day and then hand it over to Jiang Shuzhou. Every time, the various perverted behaviors of these nobles opened Jiang Shuzhou's eyes.

Even demons advocate killing without torturing life; if you encounter a demon, they'll just stab you to death with two blows.

If you encounter these kinds of people, you might as well meet a demon.

So Jiang Shuzhou would frequently hand over these pieces of evidence to Joan of Arc and admire her expression.

His pale face was filled with disbelief, terror, and an uncontrollable rage.

Her expression was always quite amusing.

In the end, every nobleman was punished, but unfortunately, none of them died.

The worst that could happen is being kicked out.

If it were Jiang Shuzhou, he would definitely let that scumbag experience what it means to be a master of flesh and blood, and let him know what cruelty is.

"My lord, we're almost there."

Chahara, who was standing nearby, offered a reminder.

At the same time, her wolf ears stood up.

Since she was a half-orc, Jiang Shuzhou preserved her race when creating her.

Although Jiang Shuzhou wanted to ask Chahara whether she was a wolf or a dog, he decided against it since it wasn't important and it would be impolite.

"Excellent! All troops, charge!"

Today, no matter what, we have to shed some blood.

Soon, the camp of the Alliance of Saints was within reach.

The two groups are facing off.

"Café, why?"

"Because you are stubborn and refuse to listen to reason, you arbitrarily punish my brothers over such a trivial matter!"

Joan of Arc's face was filled with sorrow, and she looked as if she were about to break.

Cafu, Joan of Arc's adjutant, had a righteous and awe-inspiring expression, making him appear to be the one on the side of justice to anyone who didn't know better.

"Don't be afraid, Pastor Joan of Arc."

"I'll help you!"

After saying that, Jiang Shuzhou led his troops out from the flank and charged directly at Cafu.

Cafu was followed by mostly noble officers, while Joan of Arc was followed by some paladins.

If all of Cafu's men are killed, the Alliance of Saints will suffer a devastating blow.

As for whether it will create enmity?

This was completely outside of Jiang Shuzhou's scope of consideration.

First of all, the Alliance of Saints and the Alliance of Mages were mortal enemies, having fought countless wars, large and small.

The reason we are at peace now is mainly because we don't want the empire to reap the rewards.

Moreover, given the chance, even without any enmity, these lackeys of the gods would not let any mage go unpunished.

Within the territory of the Alliance of Saints, once a mage is discovered, he will be burned at the stake.

"Navis! We don't need you here! I can handle things myself!"

Joan of Arc's tone was filled with anxiety.

"According to the treaty, I have the right to assist you in suppressing the rebellion."

Jiang Shuzhou brought up the treaty again at this point, even though he had never helped Joan of Arc before.

"..."

Joan of Arc fell silent at this point, because according to the treaty, Jiang Shuzhou could indeed help quell the rebellion.

"You can't kill me! I am..."

A noble officer shouted loudly, but unfortunately, he was not dealing with the soft-hearted Joan of Arc this time.

The soldiers ignored his cries and killed him without hesitation.

These nobles' fighting ability is extremely worrying. They can bully commoners by relying on the number of men they have, but they become cowardly when it comes to real combat.

"I'll vote..."

Before a nobleman could even utter the words of surrender, Chahara slit his throat.

The noble lords who were usually high and mighty are now like lambs to the slaughter, being killed one by one by Jiang Shuzhou.

Occasionally, if there are strong opponents, Jiang Shuzhou will casually throw a fireball at them, burning them to ashes.

Joan of Arc tried to stop him many times, but to no avail. Jiang Shuzhou's magical control was extremely good; he could even make the spells take a detour and directly bypass Joan of Arc to kill her.

The paladins behind Joan of Arc remained silent; to be honest, they had long disliked these nobles as well.

After all, he was standing behind Joan of Arc, so his morality must not be low.

In no time, all the nobles who came to force the emperor to abdicate were slaughtered.

They had anticipated from the beginning that Joan of Arc would not dare to kill them, so they brought virtually no guards.

Who would have thought that the long-time antagonistic Mage Alliance would actually come to help quell the rebellion?

The result was, of course, a tragedy; now they're all in pieces.

Jiang Shuzhou had anticipated this outcome, which is why he led the team here.

"No need to thank me. I won't concern myself with the private soldiers of these nobles. After all, this is an internal matter of the Alliance of Saints, and it's not appropriate for me to interfere."

Speaking righteously and solemnly, Jiang Shuzhou patted Joan of Arc on the shoulder to comfort her.

"roll!"

It looks like it's all irritated.

I finally managed to help you this once, but you made me lose so completely.

I'm heartbroken, I won't help you anymore.

"Hehehe."

Jiang Shuzhou left with a strange laugh, leaving behind only the corpses of nobles scattered everywhere.

It must be said that none of these people were cowards; not one of them surrendered until their death.

They're both tough guys.

Jiang Shuzhou left, leaving Zhen De bewildered in the wind.

"Sir, what should we do with their soldiers?"

The paladin standing nearby then spoke up and asked.

"Kill them all!"

Joan of Arc's body trembled slightly, and her words were cold and ruthless.

"Understood."

The paladins left.

Joan of Arc stared intently at the dead nobles.

Why? Why is this happening?

Then she thought of Jiang Shuzhou, that sorcerer, who never showed mercy, and what about herself?

They had so many opportunities to nip the threat in the bud, but they were too lenient and let them go, which led to this tragedy.

Perhaps justice does not require mercy.
