[Second update, there are still two more updates, feel free to cast a few votes, February is a good month, wish everyone a happy old age]
Nicholas knocked on Saleen's cabin door. On this ship, only the magician's room was closed. wWW. QuanBen-XiaoShuo. Com followed Saleen on the expedition. In addition to the group of people who went to the Frozen Sea, there were also more than 400 demons on the dragon warship. Now the dragon carcass battleship is finally fully operational.
"Nicholas, come in." Salin's door opened naturally. Nicholas walked in and saw a huge ball of water floating in front of Salin. Every time he saw this water Yan, Nicholas felt a little scared. This thing is too dangerous to touch. Lower-level warriors will not pose any threat to Salin if they approach him.
There were only two Caucasian warriors in Salin's room, and no personal soldiers were left with him. Seeing Nicholas come in, these two Caucasian warriors also bowed out.
"Lord..."
"Nicholas, are you asking about Lone Star City?" Salin continued to refine his eternal control fragments. He was only refining one piece at a time. He had sufficient mental strength and could still chat with Nicholas.
"Yes, Lord, are you really not worried about His Highness Rex?" Nicholas asked, trying to soften his tone.
"What's there to worry about? Aini is an eighth-level undead mage. Hey, if you want to defend the city, you can't break Lone Star City unless the Holy See sends a large number of magicians. What do you think the Holy See is busy with now?"
"Of course I want to break through Qin Yin's frontal defense line. Qin Yin has war puppets, and we must avoid them, otherwise we will suffer heavy losses."
"So, it is difficult for the Scotia people to get the support of the Holy See, regardless of their alliance. The location of the war puppet is the northernmost lane of Qin Yin. The Holy See wants to attack in the middle of Qin Yin, or even Go further south. Any talk of a three-front war is a lie."
"But my lord, the Scotians have an army of one million, and Lone Star City is not Metatrin City."
"So, Nicholas, what do you think my best course of action is?"
"Of course, we are going to march into Lone Star City with all our strength. With the power in my lord's hands now, the Scotia people's army is vulnerable. Metatrin City can just defend it. Lord Jason will lead the magicians to guard it, and the Yunliu fleet will attack in a big way. They can't be defeated either. Then let His Highness Rex respond to Daliang City, attack from the north and south, and destroy the offensive of the Tangulas Empire." Nicholas said in one breath.
"Tactically speaking, there is nothing wrong. But the plan I made with Aini was to defend Lone Star City." Salin glanced at Nicholas with a stern look.
Nicholas's heart suddenly became cold. Salin's words seemed like a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, illuminating all the dark corners extremely clearly.
Salin nodded slowly and said: "Nicholas, strategically, we should not help Qin Yin."
It was only at this time that Nicholas was shocked by Salin's cruelty. In his heart, Salin had already decided to give up the Qin Yin Empire. Yes, if there is no Holy See, what reason does Salin have to attack Qin Yin? But the Qinyin Empire also has Rex’s share!
"Holy Rock City has been unwilling to help us for more than a day or two. This time Alchemy City has caused us trouble. Nicholas, you can't give blindly. If Holy Rock City wants to get something, it must pay an equal price." Salin He spoke calmly, and every word was like a sledgehammer, hitting Nicholas' heart.
Even if Salin defeated the Iron-Blooded Duke, he would not attack Garulan as he said. Originally it was because Salin did not have the power, but now it is because Salin's power is enough to influence the situation on the mainland.
Use the power of the Holy See to destroy Qin Yin, and then legitimately recover Qin Yin's land and put it under Rex's name. This is Salin's plan. As long as the north of Qin Yin is occupied, at least half of the nobles in the south of Qin Yin will join Rex and become part of the Kushui County.
No, it was no longer a county at that time, but an empire. All that Holy Rock City can control is a huge ancient city, which can no longer pose any threat to Salin's kingdom. Saleen holds the six-winged flying snake seal, and the power of the Glucos family will acquiesce to Rex's approach.
It's possible that Salin had already made this decision when he obtained the Six-Winged Flying Serpent Seal.
"Nicholas, Lone Star City is a nail, and the Scotia people can't remove it anyway. Nailisi takes twenty-four ancient warriors, which is enough to defend the city. With Lone Star City there, at least millions of troops can be contained , whoever wants to attack the Metatlin Kingdom must take the path of Phoenix, I will continue to strengthen the defenses around Mars City, no, I will annex Phoenix and make it part of the Metatlin Kingdom!"
Salin's ambition was revealed and Nicholas had no more doubts. He just said softly: "Lord, His Highness Rex..."
"She is smarter than me, but she just can't bear her brother." Salin's answer was not direct enough, and Nicholas also understood that Salin was not hiding anything from him, but Salin didn't like to say this kind of thing.
Qin Yin's sword will be cut off sooner or later. Salin is patient enough if he doesn't attack directly.
"Nicholas, you don't understand. The problem actually lies with Alchemy City. Don't you think Alchemy City is too negative?" Salin saw Nicholas's expression was not good, so he talked to him about the key points of the situation.
"No, lord, the main point is Lone Star City. This controls the roads into Qinyin, Garulan, Rhine and Scotia. Sooner or later, Alchemy City will be destroyed. What they do is seeking their own death." Once Nicholas understood With Salin's thoughts, many questions were solved and his mind became much clearer.
Salin glanced at Nicholas with a smile. This old man finally followed him wholeheartedly. Then he doesn't have to worry about the cliques he formed in the past.
"Nicholas, I want you to do something for me." Seeing Nicholas return, Salin told him what he thought. "I want you to corrupt more magicians and become my subordinates. No, I want you to become your subordinates!"
"Become my subordinate?" Nicholas was very shocked.
"Nicholas, will the fallen magician advance into a god?" Salin asked.
"Of course not. Gods need true faith. We are just stealing. Although they all use the power of faith, the principle of advancement for fallen magicians is the same as that of magicians."
"So, no matter how powerful you become in the future, I will not kill you. My enemies are only gods."
Nicholas suddenly felt relieved. Salin clearly told him that he could now start building his power. This was a sign of Salin's trust in him. He didn't have to do anything secretly in the future, which felt good.
"Nicholas, do you know why I asked you to do this?" Salin asked.
"I don't know, my lord."
"Faka." Salin spit out the name gently. Even though he now carried six tenth-level elemental creature leaders, he still felt tremendous pressure on the name Faka. If he doesn't advance to the tenth level, he will never be able to defeat this powerful divine envoy.
Nicholas' originally relaxed mood became tense again. Faka, this powerful messenger, is a thorn in Nicholas's heart. At that time, he was forced to fall by Faka. Faka left suppression methods in the Soul Pearl, and he could not resist at all.
If Salin hadn't broken the hidden danger in the Soul Pearl for him, he would never have been able to get rid of Faka's control. This was also the reason why he had been unable to concentrate on following Salin.
"Nicholas, Faka, he wants to become a god, so he must die. It's just that I may be able to defeat him sooner or later, but I can't destroy his belief. I want you to corrupt more people just to destroy his belief. .Is the Bloody Soul Tower good?"
"Very good."
"What does this kind of thing without hidden dangers mean to a magician?"
"Self, I am God!"
"Now I ask you to follow Faka, are you still willing?"
"Absolutely not!"
"Well, then let more magicians fall. I will make sure that Faka cannot find qualified believers!" Salin said with a smile. He kept Nicholas in the first place because he had no choice but to be forced by Faka. Now he wants Nicholas to become Farka's nightmare.
Nicholas thought of Salin's determination to enter the frozen sea, and the pressure in his heart eased a lot. Faka is the biggest obstacle in his life. If he doesn't eliminate Faka, he won't be able to advance even with Salin's protection.
Saleen's fleet advanced south, and on the driveway of the Metatrin Kingdom, Naerys led a battalion of the temple legion to rush westward. On the days when Saleen went to the Frozen Sea, Metatrin City sent a large number of necromancers and elemental mages with mechanical puppets to open a straight lane.
This driveway completely imitates the driveway of the Qin Yin Empire, with a slightly narrower width of nine meters. This lane goes west and is straight for nearly five thousand miles before turning north. This place is already a truly majestic mountain. Even if there are countless skeletons and weeping stones, there is no way out.
If viewed from a high altitude, the driveway of the Metatlin Kingdom is in the shape of a sickle, drawing an arc among the mountains. It is inevitable that holes must be dug in the mountains to build the road.
In such a cave, I don't know how many skeletons were lost, and there were even some intermediate and advanced undead. When the Saleen warship went to sea, Nailisi's reinforcements had already reached the north of Lone Star City.
This is a fortress of the Metatrin Kingdom, blocking a mountain passage into Metatrin City. There were only 5,000 defenders, but the Scotchians still did not choose to attack. Because this castle is simply built together with the mountain. If that doesn't work, the magician in the castle will destroy the cave and completely block this path.
If there was no such road, entering the Metatlin Kingdom would require heading north to find a gap in the mountains, and the detour would be even further. The Scotia people simply ignored this place, and the defenders of this castle did not dare to attack anyway. An army of five thousand people had no effect at all against an army of nearly one million.
The arrival of Nailis did not attract the attention of the Scotia people. Her temple army quietly entered the castle and sent a letter to Lone Star City. V! ~!
