"Will those devils from the Holy See come back?" Conan asked with lingering fear.
"If there are no accidents, next spring. A small group of troops will infiltrate, and within two years at most, there will be battles from the Holy See appearing in the northern seas."
Conan lowered his head and carefully analyzed what Salin said. He didn't quite understand what Salin meant, but he knew that the barbarians had at most two years to continue facing those demons.
.
Barbarians are not afraid of fighting, but those devils are protected by evil gods, and the barbarian gods have long since fallen.
Saleen stopped talking and waited quietly for Conan's answer. After a long time, Conan straightened his thoughts and once again described to Salin the affairs of the Holy See in the north.
According to Conan's knowledge, the Holy See has been active in the north for at least five years. At the beginning, the Holy See came to the north to preach and wanted to spread believers among the barbarians. After two years of busy work with no results, the Holy See's people in the north were greatly affected. The large-scale ones were replaced by black-armored warriors from the Inquisition.
Then the killing begins. The barbarians had a large area of activity and the tribes were not concentrated. There were not many people in the Holy See at first, but after gradual encroachment, tens of thousands of barbarians completely disappeared from the northern wilderness in only two years.
The methods of the Holy See are very cruel. They don't want children or old people, just savages who can fight. Often after a barbarian tribe is wiped out, the number of surviving barbarians is in single digits. Most of the barbarians who escaped were not among the tribes and went out hunting.
The area where Conan's tribe operates is quite large, and they know the locations of hundreds of tribes within a thousand miles. After three years have passed. Not one of these more than a hundred tribes has been completely preserved.
Salin briefly analyzed it and found that the northern wasteland is a prominent piece of land in the upper right corner of the Myers Continent, with a vast area. Judging from this branch density, there are at least hundreds of thousands of barbarians in the northern wilderness. A whole tribe controls an area of about one hundred miles, and their number is not large, probably around a hundred or so. Such residential density. Already lower than Caucasians. No wonder I haven't heard of any big forces emerging in the north for so many years.
The barbarians still live in a primitive way, and they are not as willing to run around as mercenaries like the Caucasians. This is an almost forgotten race. The first time they were remembered, it brought about a tragic ending.
The Holy See is divided into three forces. The Inquisition is on one side, the Divine Envoys are on the other side, but it is the College of Cardinals that targets secular subjects. Capturing barbarians to refine blood knights is something that the Cardinals will not do. The contract signed with the three empires back then required the Cardinals to come forward.
The first people to preach should be the forces of God’s envoys.
The seven divine envoys of the Holy See have special followers and act in secret. They can turn a blind eye to refining blood knights.
The forces of God's envoys let in the people from the Inquisition when they saw that preaching was hopeless.
According to Conan the Barbarian's description, the Inquisition had to kill two barbarians before it could capture one. The initial losses at the tribunal were also huge. But after a year of fighting, the situation was completely reversed. The Inquisition sent a large number of magicians, the death rate of black-armored warriors suddenly dropped, and the barbarians had no sacrifices. The injured received no help.
If the number of barbarians is around 150,000, then the Inquisition can capture a total of 50,000 people. These 50,000 people will be refined into blood knights, which is five knights.
The five swordsman-level knights are really a terrifying force. If these blood knights do not attack the city, they will cause horrific damage in the field.
The swordsman battalion in Rex Bitter Water County is already considered a rare elite. After ten years of training, the ratio of swordsmen to swordsmen is only one to four. That is to say. Among ten warriors, two will be swordsmen.
But Rex has been in business for ten years. Such elites are only one battalion, which is ten thousand people, including two thousand sword master level warriors. The Holy See searched for barbarians in the north, and within three years, it was able to create more than twenty times the strength of Bitter Water County. If the two sides fought in the field, Rex's swordsman battalion would be killed until no bones were left.
Of course, Rex still has a large number of low-level mages in his hands, but the Inquisition also has a large number of magicians and ascetics. These people have the same power as magicians, which is magic given by gods. Perhaps with the addition of magicians, Rex's swordsman battalion can fight one against two, but the enemy's strength is more than twenty times greater, which cannot be solved by magicians.
Judging from the time, the Inquisition captured the barbarians exactly when the black magician appeared. Salin suspected that the black magician's incident was caused by the Inquisition to attract other people's attention so that they could ignore what was happening in the northern wilderness. The question is, how did the Inquisition bring these more than 50,000 barbarians back to the Tangula Empire
Is Archduke Phoenix involved in this matter? If this is true, then there may already be a large amount of hidden power from the Holy See in the Principality of Phoenix.
As soon as the war on the Western Front becomes tense, the hidden power of Weeping will come from the northern abyss. The worst thing may be that there are already blood knights deployed in the Principality of Phoenix.
The new Archduke Phoenix is still in Holy Rock City and refuses to return home no matter what. entire. Within the principality, they relied on the support of local nobles.
Salin's suspicion was not unreasonable. The appearance of the black magician seemed to be short-lived, and was later suppressed by the local nobles in Phoenix. With Phoenix's power, if the black magician really resurrected and was well prepared, without Qin Yin's help, it would be impossible for those Phoenix nobles to wipe out the huge number of black magicians.
If this kind of thing happened in the Principality of Phoenix, then the newly built city in Salin would be extremely dangerous. The straight-line distance from Phoenix to here is less than two thousand miles. If it were the Blood Knights, it would take at most two days to kill them.
If Salin's city had been built, it would certainly not be afraid of the Knights, but now he didn't even build a city wall, let alone a magic tower to help the city's defense. If the Blood Knights attack before the city is built, Saleen will not be able to defend the city base, even with magic cannons.
The worst thing is. If Rex comes back with a large group of troops, they will travel through the Principality of Phoenix. Rex didn't know that it was dangerous. If it turned out to be what he judged, Rex's troops would almost be wiped out.
"Lord Salin. I'll ask the elders to contact other tribe survivors." Conan finally made up his mind. Life is good for barbarians in Sarin's urban base. There is no more cold and hunger, only the hunting, fighting, and scraping that are all too familiar to savages.
"Go ahead. "Salin's heart was a little heavy.
After Conan left. Nailis said: "Master, do you want to send someone to Kushui County?"
"It's too late, Rex may be in the Caucasus now. And there is no teleportation array in Kushui County, so it is almost impossible to find Rex."
"Then go to the Phoenix border and wait. Anyway, there are only two or three ways to enter Phoenix.
"I have no one to send." Salin looked sad for the first time. In the past, he had almost nothing and no foundation. He would have to run away if he encountered trouble. Now he is carrying a city on his back. This is the city that his teacher asked him to build. He can no longer escape.
The manpower on the three battleships Jason gave to Salin was originally halved. Rex took away one third, Pasatero and Cornuco took another third. If the remaining third was sent out, the city would completely stop working.
Of course, those pirates cannot be sent to Phoenix, and Salin is not yet confident about them.
And if everyone here is transferred, what will happen to the three kings and the undead? Once Salin is a little surprised, it belongs entirely to the three kings, and the teacher's hard planning turns into a battle.
.
"How about Daniel?" When Nelisse mentioned the necromancer, Salin could only shake his head.
"Daniel is willing to follow me now, but his level is too low. And it takes at least three people to guard all intersections in Phoenix."
Nailis had no choice. Wing Skeleton wanted to control the Pan Turtle alchemy ship and couldn't leave. She wanted to protect Saleen, so she couldn't leave either. Apart from this, there are only four third-level mages left around Salin, whose strength is about the same as Daniel's. Once they were sent away, Salin was left as the bare commander.
"No wonder those legendary magicians have so many followers," Saleen sighed frequently. He is not short of money or materials now, but he is short of manpower.
"Master, actually the Holy See may not immediately think of how to deal with you. Why don't we also divert the Holy See's attention?"
"How to transfer?"
"There are many reputable mercenaries in Scotia. We can hire a group to go to Phoenix. If the Holy See really has hidden power there, it will be easy to make trouble that cannot be hidden. Rex will naturally be more careful. .”
"When the number of mercenaries exceeds a certain level, they cannot freely enter other countries. Although Phoenix is only a principality, it is subordinate to Qin Yin and will not let a large number of mercenaries enter. If the number of mercenaries is small, it will not be able to afford anything. Function. Rex is also the king of Qin Yin County, leading troops to cross the border. No one dares to stop her when Archduke Phoenix is not around, but not the mercenaries."
When Salin was feeling sad, someone knocked on the door outside.
"Come in." Salin called, and a magic apprentice walked into the hall where Salin was practicing and said: "Lord Salin, Pasatro and the others are back."
"Back?" Salin was overjoyed. Just when I was worried that I had no manpower, Passatero and Cornuco came back. I really wanted to sleep and the pillows fell from the sky. "Take me to see you!"
"Salin, are you so anxious because you want to see me?" A familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from outside the door.
"Ani?"
"It's me. I didn't expect that you would care about me so much and send people all the way to find me. It's not in vain that I made you my friend." Aini said, already opening the door and walking in from the outside.
