About a quarter of an hour later, Natalie left the Fortress of Dawn in a mighty procession with the so-called First Guard Regiment of 400 people.
Rosen was among them, of course.
Through Ander's memory, he already knew that the Eye of Dawn Wizards had a total of six elite guard regiments, each with 400 people.
Among them, the Guards Regiment is the most elite, with an average soul strength of 9 rings, and is equipped with powerful magic weapons provided by Moon City.
At this time, he followed Natalie, secretly observing the battle mages of the 1st Guards.
"Battle mages themselves aren't very strong, but their staffs are ridiculously strong."
"Not only is it well-made and has superb performance, but it also secretly contains three grams of Eternal Essence. Although the maximum output power is limited due to the Queen's ban, it still far exceeds the power limit of the mage itself."
Such a high-energy staff will give the battle mage unlimited power, so even though he is only a ninth-ring mage, he can easily compete with ordinary mages above the 15th ring.
And there are as many as 2,400 such battle mages in the Eye of Dawn Mages.
They ensured that the mages would have an absolute crushing advantage in the Gray City area.
It would be extremely difficult, almost impossible, for the Longshan Brotherhood to defeat the Eye of Dawn on the front line.
Therefore, the best way is to create chaos inside the Eye of Dawn first.
Along the way, Rosen was always busy.
He was secretly observing Natalie because he believed that this arrogant wizard lady was a potential destabilizing factor within the Eye of Dawn.
After watching for a few minutes, he came to two conclusions.
"This girl has such a beautiful figure and such a proud character, the taste must be very wonderful."
Of course, this conclusion is irrelevant, the second one is important.
"Although he is arrogant, he still has some humanity in his heart, which is worth my efforts to persuade him to rebel."
Because a civilian accidentally blocked the road, other mages would have turned the person blocking the way into ashes, but Natalie just shouted at him and pushed him to the side of the road with a force field spell.
So he tentatively complained to Natalie.
"I really don't understand why Guinevere chose to be a traitor instead of the Hand of Dawn."
"Now that the incident has become so serious, everyone is suffering because of it."
As soon as she finished speaking, Natalie's expression turned cold instantly, and she glared at Rosen fiercely with her deep blue eyes, which were very similar to Guinevere's.
"Of course a coward like you wouldn't understand!"
After saying this, she gritted her teeth and muttered, "The people in Moon City are all shameless bastards!"
The voice was very vague, but Rosen had very good ears. He immediately took a step forward, got closer to Natalie, and whispered:
"Miss, you can't say this carelessly. If it gets out to the heavens by accident, even the president won't be able to save you."
Natalie's face turned pale, and she glanced at Rosen with a threatening look on her face: "Andre, are you going to tell on me?"
Rosen immediately shook his head: "Of course not, I just want to remind you, Miss. After all, our Mage Association still has to rely on the power of Moon City. It's not good to have a bad relationship."
Natalie's expression eased a little: "You're smart!"
After saying this, the repressed dissatisfaction in her heart seemed to have found someone to confide in, and she switched to a secret language of the heart and said, "She is my best friend. I understand her choice and even admire her courage. If it were me, I might not dare to do the same thing if I were faced with such an experience."
Rosen also responded in a mental voice: "I am very curious, what happened?"
He really didn't know about this, because Ander didn't know either. He only knew that Guinevere had suddenly defected.
Natalie glanced at Rosen with a look of contempt in her eyes: "Don't ask about things you shouldn't know, or you might lose your life."
After that, she really stopped talking.
But the information revealed was enough, enough for Rosen to make a decision.
"The eldest daughter of the Eye of Dawn despises Moon City and even sympathizes with the plight of traitors. So she only needs a little help to finally betray the Mage Association."
If Natalie betrays, it will be a huge blow to the Eye of Dawn, but it will be great news for the Dragon Mountain Brotherhood, which will greatly help the Brotherhood to seize control of Gray City.
How to boost it? Rosen thought for a moment and came up with a solution: "This matter still needs to be handled by the envoy of Moon City."
So, he used the secret voice of the mind again and reminded softly: "Miss, Alex is very arrogant. His eyes are directly on the top of his head."
"Don't force it later. You must try to comfort him with kind words, so as not to anger him."
Natalie got even angrier when she heard this.
"arrogant?"
"Humph~ He is just borrowing the power of Earl Gauntkin. But if the Earl knew about his absurd actions in Grey City, he would definitely not protect him. So he has no capital to be arrogant at all!"
Rosen immediately added fuel to the fire: "He is still a 17th ring mage, miss, you can't afford to offend him easily."
"Humph~ I'm also bringing a regiment of guards with me!"
Natalie waved her hand impatiently: "Andre, shut up! I know what's going on!"
Rosen immediately shut up, but secretly contacted the Apostle of Joy, Liv, and briefly introduced the current situation: "Liv, Natalie is on fire right now. If we're not careful, she'll massacre the Joy Birds. You'd better be prepared."
Liv was extremely smart. As soon as she heard the situation, she knew that the anger must have been started by Rosen.
She complained tenderly: "Your Majesty, you really caused me a lot of trouble."
"You can't say that. Most of this trouble is your own fault. You shouldn't have seduced Alex."
"But no matter what, it has happened, and the most important thing now is how to deal with it."
Liv immediately asked, "What does your majesty think?"
"Alex is the messenger of Moon City, and Eye of Dawn is Moon City's minion in the mortal world. I hope you can cooperate with me and create an irreparable rift between the two parties."
Liv understood immediately and said with a sweet smile, "It's not difficult, but Your Majesty won't let me work for nothing, right?"
Rosen was prepared for this. After all, Liv was not his, and her master, the Pleasant, had also made it clear that he would not participate in the bet between him and the Goddess of Annihilation.
Logically speaking, Liv shouldn't have anything to do with him.
However, Liv is a mortal. It is true that she is the Apostle of Joy now, but that may not be the case in the future.
Liv's professional ability, especially her ability to gather intelligence, was truly amazing and provided Rosen with great help.
Therefore, Rosen not only plans to turn Natalie against Liv, but also to turn Liv against him.
Maybe this is unfair to the people who made me happy, but I will find a chance to make it up to them later.
So, he smiled gently and said word by word: "Liv, if you can keep helping me, I will help you light the divine fire."
Liv was shocked: "Your Majesty, this reward is too high. I can't afford it."
Although she said so, Rosen could clearly hear her excitement from her tone.
The reason why Rosen made this promise was that after he ignited the divine fire, he understood the limit of the power of the true God.
He knew that Taranaya, the Pleasure-maker who was in a distant other world, had very little control over Liv, her believer.
He also knew that as long as Liv didn't pray actively, it would be difficult for the Pleasant to locate her soul, let alone perceive her thoughts.
Obviously, Liv also vaguely understood this, and she was extremely tempted by the reward of becoming a true God.
Her soul was in turmoil that was difficult to suppress.
Rosen continued: "Liv, my natural empire in the mortal world has unified the entire plane, and currently has 4.8 billion believers. I bet this number must be far more than your master, right?"
Liv nodded: "Yes, far more than that, hundreds of times that of my master, and even half of the number of the Supreme God's followers."
Rosen immediately said, "It's halfway now, but my plane is still very empty, and there is a large continent that is still undeveloped. Once this new continent is filled, the number of my believers will catch up with the Supreme God."
"And I also have many supporters in other planes. As long as I use some tricks to control these planes, it won't be difficult to gain billions of believers."
"I proudly say that my future is incredibly bright. If you are willing to join me, your future will definitely be far better than it is now."
Liv's heart was pounding, but she was still hesitant: "Your Majesty, you are talking about the future, and the future is not guaranteed."
"It's true. But all the great prospects in the world are gambled, aren't they?"
Liv sighed, "Your Majesty, to be honest, I am very moved, but I cannot betray my master."
"Because once I have a strange thought, my master will sense it sooner or later, and she only needs a thought to turn my soul into nothingness."
Rosen smiled and said, "Don't worry, she can't do it. Or rather, I already have the ability to stop her."
Liv was shocked: "How is it possible? Has His Majesty already ignited the divine fire?"
Rosen smiled and said, "Not quite there yet, but don't forget that I have the Scepter of Light. I was lucky enough to figure out the working principle of this real artifact and imitated a ring of light."
"If you're willing to help me, I'll give it to you. It'll keep you safe when you need it."
Even through the soul connection, Rosen could clearly feel the waves surging in Liv's heart, and could even vaguely sense her violently beating heart through these soul waves.
About ten seconds later, Liv gave a clear reply: "Your Majesty, I am yours, you can command me as you wish."
Rosen smiled and said, "It's a wise choice. Let's go on."
In a short time, he used his own essence to condense a ring of light to protect the soul, and then used the secret passage technique to hand this true artifact directly to Liv.
Liv, who was in the happy bird, reached out to take it and chuckled.
"Your Majesty, next, please watch my performance."
