Fang Zheng was not at all surprised that someone resisted, even if he had demonstrated great strength.

This is normal. The bald guy who was driven to the small island is always thinking about counterattacking the mainland.

Everyone should have dreams.

The resistance of the Barthelmero clan was even more within Fang Zheng's expectations.

After all, the war between the Thousand World Trees and the Magic Association was itself a rebellion of the lower class overthrowing the upper class. The Barthelmero clan was a clan that advocated absolute aristocracy.

What is absolute aristocracy?

That is, killing and fighting among nobles are allowed because they are "people" at the same level, but resistance of the lower class against the upper class is absolutely not allowed because they are not people!

As a slave, you dare to resist the slave owner?

This is treason!

Just as white people will never allow other races to stand up and rule the world, the nobles will never allow slaves to rise up!

Because only the nobles are the supreme, noblest, and most glorious beings!

Others can only obey the nobility, but cannot resist it!

If the Thousand World Tree represented by Fang Zheng was also from an ancient noble family, perhaps Barthelmero could accept it. But unfortunately, the Thousand World Tree itself was an alliance of those declining magician families. Even the Fiore family, which was the main family, could not be considered an ancient and glorious bloodline.

So, in Barthelmero's view, this is unacceptable.

This is a naked riot of the lower class civilians against the upper class aristocrats!

And they, the nobles, possess glorious lineage, noble blood, a long history, and powerful strength. How could they allow themselves to lose to a group of commoners?

Kneel before them? Beg for mercy?

What a joke!

I would rather die standing than live on my knees!

That’s right, this is the absolute aristocracy of the Clock Tower represented by the Barthelmero family.

For them, the glory of nobility is above all else.

Not to mention the origin, battleships, and heroic spirits.

Even if you summon Zhu Yue, Gaia and Alaya, they will still resist to the end.

Even if I die, I will never surrender or give in!

Just relying on a bunch of slaves like you, you want us to surrender?

impossible!

You can kill us, but you can never make us nobles bow down to you slaves!

I can’t even die!

This is a class contradiction, an irreconcilable class contradiction.

Fang Zheng is well aware of this, and this is normal. When fighting against the rich, few people will not fight to the end.

So what else is there to say?

Kill directly!

Countless artillery fire fell from the sky, but the clock tower was obviously not idle. Soon, layers of shining shields appeared on the top of the clock tower, blocking the artillery fire from the sky.

“It’s an ancient mystery.”

Medea took one look and recognized it immediately.

"It's not surprising. After all, the Clock Tower has existed for so many years, so there must be some hidden treasures."

Fang Zheng was quite calm. How could the clock tower not have preserved a few artifacts over the years? Even the clock tower itself was a mysterious existence in terms of time.

"Do you need us to help, Master?"

Medea blinked curiously, looking at the metal warships in the sky, unable to suppress her curiosity. This was also the second reason why these heroes were willing to come down to help Fang Zheng. Although heroes would gain knowledge about this world when they appeared in the world, the warships Fang Zheng brought were obviously not within the scope of this world's knowledge, so many heroes were very interested in these powerful metal giants.

For example, Helena is running around on the warships every day, trying to figure out the workings of these warships. If she weren't a girl, the ship girl would have kicked her away long ago.

What are you looking at inside someone else's body?

"No need, just watch."

Fang Zheng shook his head. He summoned these servants mainly to hold the line, not to let them fight. It was not because these servants did not want to fight, but in Fang Zheng's opinion, the destruction of an era must be done by the creators of the new era. The servants only had to be responsible for guarding the side and ensuring their safety.

As for the real battle...let's leave it to the magical girls of this world.

And...this round of Gong attacks is just the beginning.

"boom!"

Finally, under the continuous bombardment, the clock tower's protective shield could no longer hold out and shattered. Then all I saw was colorful artillery fire whistling through the barrier and directly hitting the huge tower. The next moment, the clock tower exploded violently. After a dazzling brilliance, accompanied by thick smoke and dust, the tip of the clock tower broke, and then slowly fell from the sky and hit the ground.

At this moment, the clock tower is in ruins, all the buildings are in ruins, and the entire clock tower looks as if it has been turned upside down, with almost no intact buildings left.

"The air bombing is over, now it's time to start ground mopping-up."

Fang Zheng said this and looked up into the sky. Soon, a destroyer landed slowly, opened its hatch, and then the girls walked out. They were wearing Liyuan's school uniforms and had solemn and serious expressions.

"I think you know what to do next."

Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and slowly flicked the sword in his hand.

"You have been through a lot during this period of time. I think you should understand clearly what our goal is, why we are doing this, and how we are going to do it."

No one spoke, but the girls' eyes showed determination. Just as Fang Zheng said, they knew exactly what they were going to do. And this was not only from the teachings of Qianjieshu and Fang Zheng, but also from the "teaching by words and deeds" of the Magic Association.

As mentioned before, after the Thousand World Tree officially declared war on the Magic Association, the Magic Association had sent several teams to the Far East in an attempt to eradicate the Thousand World Tree. In the process, they naturally clashed with the girls under the Thousand World Tree, and some even tried to kidnap these girls to threaten the Thousand World Tree, or simply planned to use some more extreme means to wipe the entire Ritual Garden off the map.

In the process of this struggle, the girls gradually understood the philosophy of the Thousand World Tree and the nature of the Magic Association. Most of them were not nobles, so they certainly could not stand on the side of the Magic Association. In their view, the Magic Association's behavior of wanting to hurt so many people just for its own sake was unforgivable.

Not to mention, they are not only targeting themselves, but also their families, friends, and even their homes…

It can be said that no matter how much Qianjieshu presents facts and reasons, it is not as thorough as letting these girls personally experience several assassinations and sealings by the Magic Association.

“Flowers.”

Fang Zheng looked at the flowers in the lead and nodded.

"You know what to do. Defeat those who rebel, especially the rulers of the twelve families - capture them alive. Of course, if someone is stubborn and tries to resist to the end, then... kill them without mercy."

"yes!"

Heitong Hana nodded to Fang Zheng, and the next moment, the light on her body began to flicker, and then the clothes on Hana changed from Liyuan's student uniform to a set of black clothes that looked quite handsome, similar to a windbreaker.

"Sisters, let's go!"

As she spoke, Xianhua waved her hand and jumped directly down from the city wall. Behind her, the girls who had completed their transformation followed closely.

They are not just simple spellcasters. After Fang Zheng tested and observed them, some of them were granted magic devices by Fang Zheng and turned into "magic girls".

This was just the first batch. In fact, soon more and more people walked out of the battleships, lined up, and headed towards the clock tower.

Although Liyuan is the headquarters of Qianjieshu, it does not mean that Qianjieshu has only Liyuan as its base in the Far East. In fact, in addition to Liyuan, Qianjieshu has also acquired several schools in other places and found many children with potential in magic.

In addition, there are other magic families that have joined the Thousand Worlds Tree. After all, the Thousand Worlds Tree was originally formed by absorbing those declining magic families, so it naturally has a lot of talents. Especially after the Thousand Worlds Tree revealed a new magic that does not require magic seals, many magic families that were originally hidden in the Asian continent also came to join it.

Not to mention some magicians who were designated to be sealed.

Of course, Fang Zheng did not reject all of these defectors. After examining the situation of these family forces, he rejected some and kept some. After all, as Fang Zheng said, this is a revolution, so what they need are companions with the same ideals, not those speculators who only want to benefit from the war.

Even though Fang Zheng gave a strict review, nearly half of the families still joined the Thousand Worlds Tree.

This is also normal.

The Magic Association was very powerful, but where there was oppression there was resistance, especially in the Far East. Most of the magic families here, except for the local ones, fled here to avoid the persecution and oppression of the Magic Association. It can be said that the world had suffered from Qin for a long time. Now that Fang Zheng raised his arm and shouted "The blue sky is dead, the yellow sky should be established", naturally they also rose up and joined in.

The people who appeared at the moment were all "new era" magicians like Weber. Their family inheritance was less than two or three generations. They had no accumulation of magic and were looked down upon and oppressed in the magic world. It was precisely because of this that they were more eager than anyone else to overthrow the Magic Association.

"To be honest, I never thought that I would lead people to destroy the clock tower one day. Even in my dreams, I never thought about it."

Heine, wearing armor and holding a long sword, walked to the side of Red Ponytail, looking at the mess of wreckage in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh - well, he finally listened to Fang Zheng's advice and stopped using a gun.

“This is just the beginning, but it will be a new beginning.”

Fang Zheng reached out and patted Heine on the shoulder.

"Let's go."

"yes!"

Led by Flowers and Heine, the army of the Thousand World Trees quickly moved and rushed towards the clock tower in the distance. At the same time, the heroic spirits around Fang Zheng also disappeared one after another - they did not go home, but patrolled around these soldiers in the form of spirits and were responsible for assisting them.

Looking at the dilapidated clock tower in front of him, Fang Zheng's expression was very calm.

From today on, there will be no more clock tower.
