Raphael wanted to stir up Salin's emotions and learn more about this human being. wwW,qUAnbEn-xIaosHuo,cOmSalin's blue eyes did not make any waves. He just smiled and did not answer Raphael's words.
"Okay, the weapons that Raphael wants will be available in three days. In about a week, we will arrive at the destination. During this period, you all report to me what I need. This time, although there is a floating city as a We need support, but there are too many demons flying around, so we don’t have time to rest, so all needed supplies must be reported in three times the quantity.”
Salin said this not for his followers. Each of his followers was extremely wealthy. This time, Saleen also brought some tenth-level magicians, who were assigned to various corners of the floating city as a means of defense.
There are also magic towers on the floating city. These tenth-level magicians can make up for deficiencies in the defense when there is a gap in the magic network. Normally, these magisters command local defenses, and their subordinates are arranged separately by Salin.
The mages each calculated the consumption required for this battle according to Salin's requirements, and reported the figures to Salin. After seeing it, Salin also felt that war consumed too much wealth.
And it makes no sense.
In mid-December, Salin's floating city reached the border of Garulan and joined the Iron-Blooded Duke's army.
The Iron-Blooded Grand Duke's army has assembled a total of 200,000 people. Obviously the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke does not want his main force to be consumed here. Among these 200,000 people, there are only 50,000 dragon blood warriors.
Although the remaining 150,000 are elite, they are already the Duke's strength in the Yunliu Empire and are not from Dragon Island.
Impos also came back. When he saw Impos again, Salin felt that Impos's soul was indeed much quieter than before, without the restlessness that made his heart palpitate. It seems that Persia's soul problem has been temporarily suppressed, and there are even signs of improvement. Salin used astrology to speculate that there would be no major problems in Persia for at least three to five years.
The floating city is so large that carrying soldiers is not a problem, not to mention that the number of demons living in Nailis' demon purgatory is increasing, making it almost like a small demiplane.
The rules of the demon plane are present in this purgatory, and the rules for the disappearance of the demon plane are also present in this purgatory.
The mainland brought the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke's army and the mages brought by the Duke to Plateau City at the end of December. In Plateau City, all residents have been evacuated, leaving only countless believers.
The appearance of Plateau City has changed. In the center of the city, a coordinate point is surrounded by Faka with more than ten fortresses. A large number of weapons are deployed in these fortresses. Salin unexpectedly saw a lot of mages.
These mages were hired locally, and they were all from the Rhine Principality or Scotia.
When Salin arrived, Faka's magicians did not panic. The floating city gradually pressed down and stopped at a height of only 500 meters. Faka personally came to the floating city to see Salin. Behind him, there were twelve strange knights.
In Salin's opinion, these twelve knights were all at level nine, but they all had level ten combat effectiveness. That was because of their armor. Saleen had the Blood Armor, and he no longer had any interest in this kind of armor that could improve his rank. This is not something Faka is hiding from him, because the insect angel armor can be used universally, but these armors under Faka are specially refined for use by believers.
Moreover, these believers are all loyal to Faka, and I am afraid that there are some spiritual and soul secrets among them.
If Faka gave this kind of armor to Salin, Salin would not wear it for his men. Maybe after putting it on, his subordinates will become followers of Faka. Magicians are extremely sensitive to divine magic and are heavily guarded against it.
"Devils have appeared, but most of them were killed. I captured some." Faka said, grabbing a devil directly from his own space and placing it in front of everyone.
As soon as the devil appeared, it roared and wanted to hurt people, but it was bound by white divine power, and the devil's movements could only cause the divine power to burn.
The devil's roar turned into a scream, and Salin casually used a silent barrier to seal in the devil's noise.
The Iron-Blooded Grand Duke was not around, and he did not want to meet Faka. There were only Salin and his followers here, and Salin spoke much more casually. "Faka, the strength of this thing is probably only level five, right?" Salin looked at the devil in confusion.
The devil was not wearing any equipment, just thin scales, and a straight horn on his head. His face looked like an ordinary beast on the continent of Mels, and his hands and feet were very similar to humans.
"These are lambs from the devil's plane. When the devil invades, they will be grazed first so that the lambs can forage. When the devil's army kills them, these lambs will still be food." Faka explained.
Lamb already had level five strength, and only then did Salin feel that Faka was not bluffing.
The lamb is just a metaphor, just like the familiar is food for the demonic plane. Familiar is also a type of demon, just of a lower level.
"Faka, the space channel is still not completely opened. Are there many such demons?"
"Almost over a million have appeared. My army has not lost much. It relies on large equipment to support it. I have hired a lot of mages. By the way, Salin, can you sell me some magic cores? "
"Okay, what level do you want?"
"Above level four, below level seven."
"Okay, cost price." Salin didn't hesitate. He saw that there were many magic towers in those fortresses, very close to each other. This is the first front for the devil's invasion. Although the mages are mercenaries, Saleen doesn't want them to die without exerting their strength. With enough magic cores, it is possible for these mages to survive.
"Salin, thank you very much this time." Faka said thank you, and Salin smiled, thinking, I also thank you very much. My army needs to be tempered. If it is not tempered, how will it deal with more troublesome disasters in the future
Saleen brought quite a few people with him this time, including 120,000 demons, 120,000 insect angels, and 120,000 demon controllers.
The transaction between Faka and Salin was not done with gold coins, but with divine crystals. Saleen has a lot of divine crystals on hand, but this thing is not too much at all. For mages, divine crystals are very pure things. They can be used as magic cores and can also be used to restore mental power.
After the two people completed the transaction, Faka took out the map and discussed the deployment of defense with Salin.
Salin's floating city can provide support from above, but after the devil comes out of the space channel, it will attack from all sides. The fortresses were not built very tightly, and the gaps in between were enough for most of the devils to escape the siege.
There is nothing wrong with doing this, and it will make these forts more useful. If the exits are tightly sealed, the devil will attack these fortresses desperately until they are destroyed. Leave a gap and these devils will fight for these less dangerous roads.
All creatures have emotions, and demons are no exception. Relatively easy breakthroughs are always more attractive and more deadly.
"I guard the south and east, Garulan and Qin Yin. I don't want the devil to appear." Salin pointed to the two areas on the map and said to Faka.
"Well, I will let my people retreat in these two directions. Salin, I hope you can withstand it this time."
Salin smiled and said: "Are we the only ones taking action? I think you have been evacuating Plateau City for a day or two, and no one has taken the initiative to help?"
"The Bronze Grand Duke of Yunliu once said that he was willing to send 100,000 troops. The Emperor of Tangelas Empire was also willing to send 200,000 troops."
"You refused?"
"No, but their troops are still on the way."
"Where's Scotia?"
"Your Majesty Downey, you have no appeal. I can't afford a good price, so the nobles are not tempted."
Saleen sighed, if the devil invaded the Mels continent, Scotia should be closer to here. At this time, the nobles of Scotia were still concerned about financial gains and losses.
This country sucks.
"Okay, Faka, these are a batch of battle flags that I have refined. They will be distributed to the army so that there will be no accidental damage. If your side can't stand it anymore, I will send people to support it. If my side can't stand it, I will send someone to support you. Already…”
Faka took Salin's space equipment, put down the battle flag, and said: "Not one of the people I summoned this time will retreat. The limit for us to relax our defense is one hundred miles."
"Radius or diameter?"
"Diameter." Faka replied solemnly. In other words, with the space channel as the origin, the radius of fifty miles is the battlefield. If it exceeds this range, the interception has failed. By then, it will be difficult to control the proliferation of devils on the Mels continent.
After seeing Faka leaving with the twelve knights, Nicholas said to Salin: "Those are the Twelve Knights of the Temple, and they are worthy of the gods. Faka has indeed betrayed the gods."
Such an important figure as Faka betrayed the gods, but the gods didn't know? Saleen vaguely understood that this Faka might have some special equipment that could hide it from the prying eyes of the gods.
The gods will not care about the millions of ordinary believers, but the gods will allocate a little time to the leader of the evangelists in each plane and look at them occasionally.
This Faka's status in the Holy See is very high, and the number of believers who are willing to follow him is also extremely large. The gods will not be indifferent to such an important person.
"No matter, let's set up defenses first. Wing Skeleton, there is no need to summon the undead this time. Your undead army will be used last."
"Yes, Master."
"Nailis, you follow Sika and take control of Alchemy City with Rosen."
"Yes Master."
"Nicholas, you and Zola follow me, taking the star puppets with you. We will set up defenses at this location, and everyone else will act according to the plan."
Saleen laid out the battle plan casually, leaving the inevitable line of defense to the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke. This was what the two of them had discussed in advance.
