[This is the fourth update. I’ve had a headache these past few days and it’s a bit difficult to write. Please forgive me.]
In the end, Faka did not come back, and the fighting in Salin continued until midnight. wWW!QUAbEn-XIAoShUo!CoM It's not that the Skokyanians are powerful, it's just that Salin's elemental creatures need to rest. This is not the Abyss King City, and the recovery of the power of elemental creatures is not as fast as in the Abyss King City. Salin does not want to have the cannon fodder in front of him after Faka comes back.
The northern camp was attacked by Salin and Aini, and the third camp in the south simply chose to retreat.
After ten hours of fighting, the Scotia people, known as a million-strong army, collapsed. The elemental creatures were exhausted from the battle, and Saleen wanted six of each elemental creature to be left as spares. Blue Ice Princess simply left thirty-six. Gloria could not help Salin fight within a year and could not restore the elemental creatures under his command. Salin was calculating carefully.
Less than a thousand demons were killed in the battle. After the war situation expanded, all battles could not be fought by elemental creatures. Under the impact of the Scotians on both sides, the demons in the temple legion were the main force, and casualties were inevitable.
The casualty ratio of demons has always been very different. If one demon dies, more than five may be seriously injured. Demons are immortal and can recover themselves even without doctors and magicians.
Saleen only led two battalions of the temple legion, which included 4,000 magic heavy infantry. These 4,000 heavy infantry did not suffer any losses. A lot of armor was damaged. Almost one-fifth of the magic armor was completely damaged. Withdrew from the battle.
In Lone Star City, tens of thousands of troops came out one after another to clean up the battlefield, and the wounded were carried into the city for treatment by the undead in an orderly manner. Of the 100,000 troops Salin brought, only more than 8,000 were lost, and they were basically auxiliary troops.
However, if you lose one out of ten, it is still a big loss. If the enemy hadn't died more, Salin would have lost this battle. Saleen made a mental calculation and found that his temple legion had the strongest combat effectiveness. One battalion could match the enemy's five battalions. The main legion was far behind, but it could still be done with one against two.
Salin had no intention of cleaning up the battlefield. Faka's appearance made him very uncomfortable and he went directly into Lone Star City. After leaving his army in charge of Nicholas, Salin and Aini greeted them and went to Rex's magic tower.
In such a fierce battle, Rex did not appear. She was doing magic experiments calmly and calmly in the magic tower, with a dozen great magicians waiting on her.
Seeing Salin coming in, the dozen or so magicians were about to leave. Rex said: "Continue with your business."
Salin is no longer the boy he was before, and of course you can hear Rex's unhappiness. It must be because of his decision that he hurt the Qin Yin Empire.
It's useless to reason at this time. It's not that Rex doesn't understand the situation on the mainland, it's just that he finds it difficult to accept it emotionally. Salin walked up to Rex and called, "Lace."
"Yeah." Rex replied calmly.
"I am coming."
"I've known it for a long time." Rex said angrily, but Salin laughed instead. Rex finally understood that he did this all because of the contract with the goddess. He can't lead the army to overthrow the rule of Holy Rock City, it would be too bloody. Rex completely understood Salin, but he was just feeling depressed and wanted someone to vent his anger on.
The problem is that Salin is not someone you can use to vent your anger on. Both of them have signed a contract, regardless of each other. There are some things that Rex will have to do in the future, such as capturing Phoenix first and turning Guderian City into the border between Metatrin and Qin Yin.
"What should we do, Lace?" Salin asked deliberately.
"What do you mean?"
The great magicians around were also listening with their ears pricked up, but Salin glanced at them. These great magicians had no choice but to turn around and leave. Whatever the couple wanted to talk about, it would be bad to stay. After all, Salin was also theirs. Your Highness. Rex didn't call them again this time.
"I attracted the attention of the Holy See, and I haven't killed the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke yet."
"What does this mean? It took Qin Yin more than a hundred years to establish an empire. Counting the first generation of Gryx, this time is more than eight hundred years. How many years have you only founded the country?"
"It's been more than eight hundred years, aren't you going to die of old age?"
"You, you always look at this thing in front of you." Rex said depressedly. This was not her original intention, but all the things Salin had been doing recently were not long-term plans. This made Rex a little weak, and Salin didn't pay attention to some of the arrangements she made.
"You can't look at what's in front of you, Lace." Salin said, taking out his fear drum and placing it in front of Rex.
The terrifying human face on the front of the Fear Drum is still grinning, as if it wants to devour Salin.
"Is this... made from the thing you mentioned?" Rex was a mage, and he was so interested in magic equipment that he immediately forgot about the quarrel with Salin.
"Well, the skin of a twelfth-level creature, the Dread Angel, contains a trace of the Dread Angel's companion soul." Salin said, and took out the broken jade. In this broken jade, the two souls of the Dread Angel were imprisoned.
Rex took the broken jade in his hand, studied it for a while, and said, "There's nothing we can do..."
"Yes, if you don't fall for these two things, you can't deceive them no matter what. It would be a pity to forcibly refine them. Unless one of the souls is put in, this fear drum can only be a ninth-level equipment."
"What does this have to do with our affairs?" Rex suddenly remembered that he was distracted by Salin.
"Do you remember the first expeditionary force sent by the Holy See?"
"Remember, there were no strong men in Metatrin City at that time."
"Do you know why Dinisio sent troops to attack Metatrin City?"
"Don't beat around the bush, just tell the truth." Rex glared.
"Nicholas told me that Pope Dinisio had a dream about me..."
"Dreaming about you?" Rex was surprised. She was sure that Salin had never met Dinisio.
"He not only dreamed about me, but also dreamed about this war drum of fear. In my dream, I used this piece of equipment to kill countless of his followers."
"Oracle?" Rex said the word with difficulty.
"Yes, Oracle. I tested the power of this war drum during the battle with the Iron-Blooded Grand Duke. Although it is a level nine equipment, the attack it unleashed was very terrifying. I didn't use it this time because I couldn't control it well. Afraid of hurting the undead.”
Rex fell silent. The Iron-Blooded Duke must have sent the news to the Holy See. The Pope knew the existence of this thing and was more sure of the oracle. Wouldn't this mean that he and Sara's plan would be broken
"Lessie, don't be angry now. The Holy See will regard me as a more important target, hey..."
Saleen sighed deeply. At that time, he was testing this piece of equipment for a moment of pleasure, and he never thought it would have such consequences.
"Otherwise... I'll trade Daliang City for Phoenix, okay?" Rex said this after a while. She knew that if the entire Phoenix was captured, she would only need to build a majestic pass at the southwest pass of Phoenix, and the Metatrin Kingdom would be much safer.
Salin was moved. Daliang City was developed by Rex with great difficulty. Although the land was not as big as Phoenix, it was related to the development of Kushui County. Rex gave up when he said he wanted to, in order to protect the Metatrin Kingdom.
"Lessie, this is absolutely not possible. Daliang City is the place where we got married. We cannot use it for trading. In the future, it will be your capital, the center of a new empire."
"You can... call back." Rex was no longer angry with Salin. What she is thinking about now is how to protect the Metatrin Kingdom.
"It's better to attack Phoenix directly."
"What?"
Saleen took out the magic map and unfolded it. He pointed out: "You mean that if you build Xiongguan here, the entire Phoenix will be difficult to enter. This is now an area controlled by the Qin Yin Empire. If you use it in exchange for Daliang City, you will still suffer a loss. I mean here."
Salin pointed to the other side of the mountain pass and said: "This place is surrounded by plains and is difficult to defend. But if I build a city here, do you think the Holy See will attack by force? Or will it bypass here and attack Phoenix?"
Rex looked at the magic map in a daze. Seeing that she didn't answer for a long time, Salin patted her shoulder. Only then did Rex come back to his senses. He pointed at the Rhine Principality on the map and said, "What kind of city are you building?" I think you are addicted to building cities. If you capture the Rhine Principality, we will directly occupy the Rhine, then enter Didipus from the Chaos Swamp and simply swallow up the Rhine Principality. With your strength, can't you do it?"
Saleen smiled bitterly. He really wanted to do this. Rex had a good strategic vision. It would be easier to capture the Rhine Principality than to defend Phoenix. At least now that he has so many ninth-level subordinates around him, the Rhine Principality is unable to resist. But there is still Faka in the Chaos Swamp.
Joey goes after Faka, and Salim is unsure of the outcome.
If Faka didn't die, it would be a joke to cross the Chaos Swamp by himself. If you can't cross the Chaos Swamp and occupy Didips, then you won't be able to defend Rhine.
He signed a contract with Faka, so he couldn't tell Rex directly about these things. Even Joey couldn't break this contract, and the restraint on him was a hundred times greater than the restraint on Faka. It’s just that I had no ability to resist at that time!
Seeing Salin smile bitterly, Rex vaguely understood something. He and Salin had signed a contract with the goddess, and he could not mention it to others. Salin must have something to hide.
"It's impossible to cross here, right?" Rex pointed to the Chaos Swamp Road.
Salin shook his head and nodded again. Rex already knew in his heart that there was a huge trouble hidden in this chaotic swamp.
Rex looked at the magic map and controlled the magic circle in his hand. The details on the magic map were revealed bit by bit. Every mountain and river was marked on it. Only the Chaos Swamp was blurry.
"Salin, can Mr. Jason defend Metatrin City?" Rex asked a question that seemed to have nothing to do with the overall situation.
"Absolutely," Salin replied confidently.
"Then let's attack here, why not?" The magic map quickly shrunk, then expanded its image. Rex's finger pointed upward and landed in Scotia.
Saleen looked at Rex in surprise and asked, "Iron Wall City?" V! ~!
