[Third update, fourth update tomorrow. During the second update, the background was stuck, so it was late. WWw!QuanBen-XiaoShuo!comThis is not a problem that old D can solve, but I still want to say sorry]
No matter how good the equipment is, it must be at the corresponding level to be able to exert its power. Salin admired it for a while, then put away the Seal of Silence and refined the next piece of equipment.
Although Salin knows that his own strength is more important, the problem is that he is not only a magician, he is also a king. He is responsible for the equipment of his followers and his men.
For the first time since becoming a mage, Saleen felt like a coolie. Truman couldn't help him too much. Fortunately, Salin was full of energy and could refine equipment while imparting experience to Truman.
It was the first time since Truman followed Salin that he received such patient teachings. He almost didn't eat or drink as he accompanied Salin in refining equipment, and the magic strings in his body grew unknowingly.
His qualifications are much better than Salin's, but unfortunately he is not as lucky as Salin. When he was on Srig Island, he was overwhelmed by so many talented people and didn't win the favor of any magician. He even felt a little depressed.
But after arriving at Metatrin City, Salin gave him the management of the miniature magic cannon, which made Truman feel valued and his mood was very different. Later, Salin even accepted him as a student. Truman felt that The grudge disappeared completely and he devoted himself to practicing magic.
There is no substitute for the feeling of knowing that you have a bright future. The speed at which Truman advanced became terrifying, and Jason discovered it. The improvement in plane power has the most obvious effect for a talented mage like Truman. He is a fifth-level great magician. After working with Salin for six consecutive days, Truman advanced to the next level.
What hindered him were some problems with his perception. His magic string growth rate was several times faster than Salin's. Saleen's body of water element made his advancement difficult.
Salin didn't expect Truman to advance to the first level so quickly. Originally, he planned to let Truman learn it alone for a few years before giving him guidance on how to become a magician. Under the current situation, Truman could continue to learn from him.
In six days, the magicians from Metatrin City arrived at Port Royal. This speed was not very fast, but considering that the magicians also brought a group of warriors and many great magicians, they used three The speed of a battleship is already amazing.
Metatrin City also brought a large amount of supplies to Rex, mainly in terms of materials. Rex doesn't have many magic cores right now, and the magic cores Saleen gave her are not enough to set up a coastal defensive position. Thanks to the ancient battleship, the clone of the mechanical undead can share a lot of trouble for Rex.
The twelve magicians stayed at Port Royal for half a day, and after helping Rex arrange a large number of magic circles, they quickly set sail and headed straight for Ceylon City.
The border of Ceylon City, less than a hundred miles away from Yaoyang City, now has nearly 50,000 troops stationed. Salin sent all the refugees and non-productive people in the city of Ceylon into the army and arranged them here. And his demon army, with two thousand elite soldiers, was constantly wandering outside Yaoyang City.
It has to be said that the combat effectiveness of the Demon Legion is not as strong as their deterrence. Demons more than five meters high wander in sight all day long, making the soldiers of Yaoyang City panic. Such an enemy makes them feel a little desperate.
Yaoyang City is not considered an important town, with only a thousand elite soldiers, and the rest are ordinary soldiers and low-level mercenary groups.
Su Fangsuo also knew that if this continued, the soldiers would collapse, and his city would be destroyed before others came to fight. But he couldn't escape. Yaoyang City was the family's residence, and all his relatives were here. If they escape, the minor nobles and the people will completely rebel.
If the great nobles cannot hold on to their territory, the consequences will be dire.
In anxiety and helplessness, the Imperial Capital finally got news. His Majesty Downey summoned twelve mercenary regiments and ten thousand royal cavalry to support Yaoyang City. These twelve mercenary groups are not rubbish. Each one is level six or above and has more than 10,000 soldiers. This time, the twelve mercenary groups dispatched a total of 100,000 soldiers, plus the royal cavalry and more than 30 soldiers. The private soldiers of local nobles, totaling more than 150,000 people, came to support in a mighty manner.
His Majesty Downey spent a lot of money to hire these mercenaries. He could no longer sit back and ignore it. If this continued, the nobles would really rebel one by one and take refuge in Salin. And Downey also knew that Salin would not take the initiative to destroy his city now, otherwise it would cause huge panic.
On the continent of Mels, there are no more than ten cities that can withstand the attack of metal aircraft.
Metal aircraft are not powerful equipment, but their targets are ordinary troops and civilians. No city can afford such an attack.
In addition to these soldiers, the surviving magicians from Iron Wall City also came to Yaoyang City with the army. They want to wash away their shame. When the Elemental Magic Tower came, these people chose to hide. If we fight back, at least a few more people can escape from Iron Wall City, right
Downey himself also dispatched three court mages, a total of six ninth-level magicians, which was considered an extremely powerful force in the Scotia Empire. At the same time, Downey sent a mercenary group to contain Rex in Port Royal. If Rex divided his forces to support Salin, it would become a formal attack and recapture Port Royal.
Downey sent out the army so late because he was contacting the Holy See. Pope Dinisio learned the news and agreed to send warships to attack the city of Ceylon along the coast.
Downey's final decree was that any mercenary group that captured the city of Ceylon would become the lord there and be exempt from taxes for ten years.
This was a tempting poison, but all the mercenary groups became excited. Because Salin has integrated all the small nobles near Ceylon City, the area of Ceylon City has now expanded greatly. If you can obtain this territory, it is equivalent to owning a private country.
The eighth-level and ninth-level mercenary groups are ready to move, and many lower-level mercenary groups take the initiative to contact powerful mercenary groups. The small mercenary groups all know that they cannot defeat Ceylon City with their own strength. What they want is very simple, cooperation and sharing the spoils.
In this way, when the 150,000 reinforcements arrived at Yaoyang City, hundreds of mercenary regiments from the rear mobilized, and under the leadership of six large mercenary regiments, they attacked Ceylon City. Some of these mercenary groups only have more than a hundred people, and some can reach more than 3,000 people. Altogether, more than 400,000 mercenaries have gathered in the north of Skochina, and there are more small mercenary groups, with only three or five people, all rushing to Ceylon City, trying to take advantage.
Everyone does not think that the city of Ceylon cannot be defeated. Over at Port Royal, the huge ancient warship has not hidden its figure. Port Royal is expanding, the city has been re-erected, and the number of soldiers can be estimated. Most of the army that attacked Iron Wall City stayed in Port Royal. No one knew that Saleen had a hundred thousand demons in his hands.
In the opinion of the mercenaries, if Salin had the power to destroy Yaoyang City, he would have done it long ago. No one knows the origin of the conflict between Count Sufonso and Salin, but Salin's troops came to the city certainly not for sightseeing. To the south of Yaoyang City, there are already 60,000 to 70,000 troops.
Salin was happy when he heard the news. If there were fewer people coming, it would be difficult for him to fight back. With so many troops arriving, Yaoyang City could not accommodate them and could only directly attack its own territory.
Salin quickly ordered the demon army on the front line to retreat appropriately. Once the enemy became strong, they should immediately flee back towards Ceylon City without entanglement.
As for the more than 50,000 new soldiers, Saleen also arranged vehicles as much as possible to allow them to retreat.
The equipment of these recruits is not pitiful compared to low-level mercenaries. They are paper armors brought by Salin. The materials of these paper armors are all waste products derived from magic apprentices and low-level mages practicing magic. Their defensive power is equivalent to that of leather armor, but there is no good way to repair it. They are disposable equipment.
But Scotia's low-level mercenaries regard even this kind of paper armor as a treasure. These paper armors look very majestic, and with a small amount of ceremonial armor, Saleen can arm these new soldiers without spending many gold coins.
If you expect these new recruits to kill the enemy, you are out of your mind. Among these recruits, less than one-tenth had any experience as mercenaries.
However, these new soldiers were led by generals from Kushui County. Salin's order to them was to lure the enemy deeper.
The generals were puzzled by this vague order and asked Salin where he wanted to lure the enemy. Salin pointed at the new city wall that was still under construction and said, "Bring it here and record the merits for you."
Then the orders given by these generals to the soldiers were a bit strange. The first military law the recruits received was - they are not allowed to throw away their equipment.
Saleen did not want these new recruits to die, but fleeing for their lives without their armor would not help the growth of these new recruits, and would only create a group of young soldiers. Once these people discard their weapons and armor, there will be no hope in the future. The equipment of all the new soldiers was very light. Saleen gave them paper armor, hand crossbows, short spears and rapiers, just to prevent these soldiers from being overwhelmed.
It was not until June that Yaoyang City suddenly launched an attack. The heavy armored cavalry attacked the demon position. Contrary to what Count Sufonso thought, the demons' combat effectiveness was not very good. After contact, they were defeated by an equal number of heavy armored cavalry.
This heavy armored cavalry was also Downey's elite force. Although Salin ordered the demons to release water, if this army had not been attacking the demon position, the demons would have been unable to pretend to be defeated.
Count Sufonso was overjoyed. His Majesty's cavalry was indeed invincible. Ignoring the dissuasion of his men, he led his private army and two thousand auxiliary soldiers, a total of three thousand people, and fought out of Yaoyang City. Count Sufonso is not mentally retarded. He is already a Golden Sword Master, so of course he will not feel that his life is in danger.
Now that His Majesty has given the order to attack the city of Ceylon, it is time to establish meritorious deeds. The 150,000 troops outside the city are only the vanguard, and there are hundreds of mercenary regiments behind them. How many troops does Ceylon City have? Twenty thousand people
So what if Salin is a ninth-level mage? He is the Golden Sword Master. If Salin is left alone, it is not impossible for him to kill him.
After Nazarin destroyed the Iron Wall City and killed him, he would definitely be promoted to Duke immediately. V! ~!
