In the past, Salin had only heard that a pure-blooded third-level war horse could run more than sixty miles, but that could only last for two or three hours, and the war horse had to rest completely, unable to move for ten or eight days. WWw!qUAnbEn-xIaosHuo!Com At a steady speed, that kind of pureblood horse can run forty miles, which is almost equivalent to the speed of an ordinary cavalry charge.
The skeleton war horse that Winged Skeleton carefully created obviously exceeded Salin's knowledge of horses. This kind of war horse can catch up with a flying mage, and its speed does not change in a day.
The cavalry could not control the speed of eighty miles at all. Without the control of the winged skeleton, almost every one of these cavalry would have broken bones and tendons.
Winged Skeleton has shown his powerful advanced ability, and Saleen's contract has not controlled his development. The eighth-level undead is already comparable to the Great Mage. This is of course related to Saleen's powerful mental power. He and Nailis both have soul contracts. As long as Saleen's mental power can reach the level of a ninth-level mage, the Winged Skeleton can also advance to the ninth level.
However, this also requires the efforts of the Winged Skeleton itself. As the master, Salin cannot provide him with other help now.
Saleen himself was physically strong, and the two magicians were even more powerful than him. Isabella and Elinor were both skilled in magic and martial arts. They ran all the way and ran for ten hours on the first day. "Then they rested.
If it were any other mage, he would have been paralyzed long ago. Even if he continued to use magic to bless himself, he would not be able to survive for ten hours. Run wildly.
The Emperor Bai warriors with Zesarin were the most tired. During a break, the magician cast magic on everyone. At night, everyone fell into a deep sleep, leaving only the Winged Skeletons and the demons awake. .
The Winged Skeleton wore the armor that Saleen had refined for him. On the front of the helmet was a crystal mask. The soul fire behind the mask beat slowly, showing a strange silver color in the night.
Pisi looked at the Winged Skeleton, remembering Nailisi's warning, and did not provoke the undead. He commanded the other three demons to carefully guard outside Salin's tent. The undead under Winged Skeleton are responsible for the security of the entire camp. Winged Skeleton stood at the gate of the camp, with a weapon as long as ten meters in his hand.
The front end of this weapon is a circular axe blade with a diameter of more than one meter. The giant axe, which is open on both sides, is blood red in color. There is a magic circle on both sides of the giant ax, with colorful magic cores inlaid on it, like six weird eyes.
This weapon was salvaged from the sea by Winged Skeleton and is estimated to be at least 20,000 years old. It's not that weapons with a longer history are better, but weapons that can withstand the corrosion and high pressure of seawater without any damage for 20,000 years are definitely top-notch equipment.
The long shaft of the giant ax is oval-shaped and covered with magic patterns. However, these magic patterns are not refined on the surface, but are magic patterns naturally refined inside the entire metal giant ax. No matter how polished, these magic patterns will not disappear.
The breath of the undead seeped out from the Winged Skeleton's gloves and entered the giant axe. The multicolored magic core inlaid on the giant ax lit up, and blood-red magic patterns flowed on the black giant axe.
The six jade skeletons following the Winged Skeleton stood behind the Winged Skeleton, each holding a giant ax of the same shape in their hands, which was a weapon that Salin imitated and refined.
Wing Skeleton and his men are extremely powerful, and no one would dare to take such a giant axe. Even the Silver Sword Master must consider whether his own strength can withstand it.
Seven skeletons stood at the entrance of the camp, and all the monsters looking for food at night fled far away. Six gray auras floated on the giant axes of the Winged Skeletons, and were sucked into their giant axes by the Jade Skeletons behind them.
The seven skeletons are like one body. Salin dared to take two hundred people to Daliang City. In addition to his own abilities, it was also because Wing Skeleton was already an eighth-level undead, and his combat power was comparable to that of the three kings. Judy Koko's soul fire was given to the Winged Skeleton to enjoy. As long as Salin advanced, he could immediately reach the ninth level.
\{\} The skeleton looked up at the bright moon. The silver moonlight shone down, penetrated the crystal surface, entered his eyes, and was absorbed by two groups of soul fire. The soul fire absorbed the moonlight and became more intense.
The night passed without incident, and the camp was not disturbed in any way. Salin continued on his way with the team. It is now mid-September, and he has to reach Daliang City before the end of October. Regardless of road factors, he must also consider whether he will encounter enemy attacks.
It was a safe journey from Metatrin to the new city where Aini was supervising. Only at the Rhine border did Salin turn south and head toward Daliang City along the border of Garulan.
It was impossible for these two hundred or so heavily armed men to go unnoticed, but Salin and others did not walk along the driveway, and did not need supplies along the way. They bypassed the city and just ran wildly in the wilderness.
Those who are interested in intercepting it cannot catch up with the skeleton war horse. These two hundred or so skeleton war horses, together with Sarah's two hundred soldiers and mages, advanced at a speed of seven hundred miles per day.
Everyone who made decisions on the official road had miscalculated. Whether it was the local nobles with ulterior motives, the Holy Rock City army, or even some thieves groups, they were left behind by Salin's strange marching method.
In mid-October, Salin led more than two hundred of his men into the territory of Garulan, the land actually controlled by Rex's Kushui County.
The border is a military post with five thousand soldiers stationed there. Salin showed his badge. The highest officer in Jingwazi was an old nobleman from Kushui County. Seeing Salin's coat of arms, the old nobleman warmly received Salin. "Your Highness Salin, I didn't expect you to arrive so soon!" The old noble greeted Salin's team outside and did not show any disappointment when he saw that Salin only had more than 200 people.
Salin secretly approved that this was a wise, or cunning, old man. He, a child, borders the area controlled by Holy Rock City, and this kind of wisdom is needed to allow the two sides to live in peace.
This old man was originally a first-class Earl, and he was also a noble assigned to Rex by Emperor Chanak. After Rex established the country, he was promoted to a second-class earl, two levels in a row. Now he commands five thousand soldiers and guards them here.
"Earl..." Salin was taken to the Earl's mansion and held a banquet with the Earl. As soon as Salin opened his mouth, the Earl said eloquently: "Your Highness, just call me Besta. I watched the princess grow up, no. I’m not an outsider.” Salin smiled and said, “Besta, can we join forces with Daliang City?”
"It's possible, but..." Besta was a little embarrassed. The number of magic cores he had here was very limited. If you can't consume it, try not to use it. To send a letter, you will consume one magic core. This low-level teleportation array consumes six level four magic cores each time.
Salin immediately understood the implication of Besta's words and said: "Although Rex will replenish your consumption, he will not send supplies until the end of the year. Okay, this is it. I haven't paid it yet. You want it?" Keep this baby safe and don't let people from the north take advantage of it." Salin said, taking out a box specially designed to contain magic cores, which contained 60 cut fourth-level magic cores and handed it to Besta.
The old count worked conscientiously, and it was not easy to guard the border in such a place with no future. Saleen didn't care about these sixty magic cores either.
Besta blushed a little. Lei Keyan had indeed not sent out magic cores for a long time. The last attack had captured three important cities, but the consumption of magic cores was also very huge. There are still a lot of low-level magic cores in his county, but there are indeed not many mid-level magic cores. "Your Highness, how is this possible?"
"Don't worry, Rex will give this back to me." Salin joked. Besta also felt embarrassed. Salin could rush thousands of miles to help, so why would he care about these sixty intermediate magic cores. Even if this thing is put on the market, it will cost more than 100,000 gold coins. Salin did not write to Rex immediately, but asked Besta about the military deployment of this unknown town.
After questioning, I found out that among the five thousand soldiers, except for the more than five hundred personal soldiers of Count Besta, the others were just novices who had been trained for two or three years. This kind of training is not the kind of training that Rex gave Salin's soldiers, but the simplest training method according to Qin Yin's law.
The soldiers can control most ordinary weapons, and with combat effectiveness, five soldiers should be able to kill a junior swordsman.
Rex did not deploy elite soldiers at the border of the land controlled by Holy Rock City. Saleen listened in his heart and understood the general situation of Rex Tartar. The number of soldiers controlled by Rex must have exceeded 500,000, but half of them had poor combat effectiveness.
Defending the city is enough, but attacking the city or fighting in the field is basically the fate of being destroyed. In this case, there is no need for Saleen to leave any equipment to Count Besta. His equipment is all for the main army.
Then Salin wrote a letter and asked Besta to send it to Daliang City. In the letter, he wrote about the equipment and village information he carried, and told Rex the battle plan.
Many of his materials have not yet been spliced into equipment, and Rex's magicians need to prepare corresponding alchemy equipment. So Salin wrote to Rex when he was still more than a thousand miles away. He couldn't start preparations until he arrived in Daliang City. Salin and others were constantly on the road and were exhausted both physically and mentally. They wanted to rest here for a day to fully recover before going on the road.
Salin and others went to bed while Earl Besta was handling military affairs in the palace. At this time, some soldiers hurriedly came to report that a cavalry group had approached Xiaosuo, and there were almost more than two thousand people. Count Besta was shocked. Two thousand cavalry was the standard for a battalion. The following were probably two thousand heavy cavalry and six thousand infantry. The old earl did not disturb Salin and said to the soldiers: "Call all the men and I will go up to the top of the city to have a look.
"Lord Earl, can I go with you?" As soon as Besta finished speaking, the Winged Skeleton appeared in front of him, with the terrifying giant ax in his hand. Under his crystal mask, "the fire of the soul beat slowly.
\{\} The skeleton has been following Salin. When Besta saw him, he thought he was just an ordinary undead. Unexpectedly, this undead was intelligent and could speak human language. F! ~!
