Chapter 497: Capture of Ceylon City (Part II)

[Third watch, tomorrow's fourth watch]

After several twists and turns, Salin has gradually understood what he wants to do in the future and what kind of attitude he has to face it.

A magician can't kill indiscriminately, and he can't treat ordinary people as mustard, because these people are part of the whole world, and if you destroy them, the world will lose its balance, and the magician will lose the environment he needs to study.

Every magician is an ordinary person, and there must be an ordinary person's imprint in his soul, as a high-level being, there are many human cannibalisms, but there are no people who directly destroy their own races. This is the difference between man and god, when the god falls, his god will also decline and die.

The gods will self-destruct and will give up the whole world, and humans will not.

Magicians can't destroy the whole world, what they have to do is to make this world richer and bigger.

Salin was not a magician in the ordinary sense of the word, and he now knew that he did have something to carry in his fate. For example, resurrecting the goddess Myers, such a duty, or task, may only be done by a few people on the entire continent.

These people are all burdened with a special fate.

What is fate? Saleen didn't understand it before, but now he understands it somewhat. I have been in the river of fate for more than 20 years. The hopes I once had were still extending in the vein of fate, and they didn't change anything. If you continue like this, you will be bound by fate forever.

And the astrologers, trying to stand in the sky, look down on the earth, see clearly the veins of all fate.

The magician, on the other hand, analyzes the fundamental composition of matter, the laws of operation of all energies, and the most basic form of the whole world. It's also chasing the truth and trying to take control of your destiny.

What you have to do is to really control your destiny, not to be fed and to survive.

Now Saleen understands Jason very well, the teacher is such a person, never backs down, moves towards the goal, even if there is a lonely person left, he will not give up.

The merchants of Ironwall were imprisoned, and the minor nobles signed an agreement with Guge to become his subordinate nobles, and Guge became the court nobles of Sarin, advancing to the rank of First Earl.

Nasha, the wife of Viscount Guge, cried with joy when she saw Viscount Guge return. Count Guge, however, was as worried as water.

"Guge, you're a first-class earl, why aren't you happy?" Nasha couldn't understand why her husband was worried.

"Nasha, His Highness Saleen wants too much, do you know, his target is probably the entire Myers Continent. If he succeeds, of course we will soar. If he fails, we'll go to hell with him. ”

Nasha was stunned and asked, "So Guge, are you going to follow Saleen to the death, or are you ready to rebel at any time?"

"I'm worried precisely because I don't plan to rebel. By name, I am really a close nobleman of Saleen, he grew up in the city of Ceylon, and he will not give up on me no matter what. You know what? There aren't too many people for a magician to care about. As long as I am honest and honest as this earl, I don't even need to have any talent, His Royal Highness Saleen will make me rich and noble in this life. ”

"You're worried about the kids?"

"Yes, our youngest son, who is only two years old, I don't know if he has a future. Viscount Guge's eyes did not reveal the feelings that a Skochenian nobleman could have, they were a combination of confusion, sorrow, and fear.

Nasha gritted her teeth and said, "Guge, give the child to His Highness Sarin, don't the nobles of the court often do this?"

Giving children to the monarch and becoming a lifelong servant of the monarch is a common thing among the nobility. The nobles who did this were showing their determination.

While Guge was worried, the people of Saleen had already begun to renovate the city of Ceylon. There is no need to think about the original plan, since the Tangulas already have a not weak naval strength, it is better to make the port and shore defense of Ceylon City complete first.

The inhabitants of Ceylon, apart from being shocked by the announcement of the Earl of Gug, did not make much trouble. The first thing Count Guge did when he declared his submission to Salin was to exempt all the people in the city from taxes for ten years.

This was a huge gesture, and then the Earl of Guge proclaimed the decree of war. Once Ceylon City is besieged, as long as the city is not breached, the Earldom will provide food for those who have lost their financial resources.

Those who receive food for free only pay the price of working for the Earl's Court, such as building some facilities in the city, cleaning, etc., and do not need to go to war.

The people of Ceylon City were skeptical, but when they saw the demons walking around the streets, everyone chose to wait and see. Escaping the city of Ceylon was unrealistic, and it is said that the surrounding nobles took refuge in Guge.

The reputation of the Earl of Guge has always been good, and the city of Ceylon has not been in turmoil, and Salin is very satisfied. He didn't want an empty city, but he wanted to make Ceylon City a commercial port city of the future. It was responsible for connecting the Tangulas Empire routes.

Only magic warships can sail for a long time, and ordinary merchant ships need large supply points. The location of Ceylon City is very suitable for commercial operations, but unfortunately, the Tangulas Empire has a very severe crackdown on merchants, and the slightest violation of the law is basically death.

In this way, Salin took the city of Ceylon, and did not say hello to the emperor of Scochenia, the guy named Donnie. Ironwall City was destroyed, and Donnie wouldn't swallow it anyway. It was impossible for Downey to admit that Ceylon City was independent.

Saleen didn't give Donnie a chance to scold, and now Rex occupies Port Royal and himself occupies Ceylon City, one west and one north, it's up to Downey to deal with it. If Donnie sent troops to attack, Saleen would still be very happy, because Port Royal still has more than 600 metal flying machines, which can rush to the cities around the imperial capital.

Rex's layout began to bear fruit, and Downey was no longer in the mood to cooperate with the Holy See in sending troops from the Duchy of the Rhine to attack the Kingdom of Metatrin. His own empire was in turmoil, the city of Iron was destroyed, and the local nobility was terrified. Except for the mercenary group, Donnie no longer has the strength to mobilize the main army of the nobles.

At this time, the Holy See army had already torn through the frontal defense line of the Qin Yin Empire and broke through to the Qin Yin Northern Plain. Qin was already scattered because the armies of the northern nobles had retreated to their respective territories, and on the east coast, the army of the iron-blooded Grand Duke occupied Lianyun City, rebuilding the city on the spot, and it looked like it was going to fight a protracted war.

No one entered Metatrin, and even the territory of Phoenix was peaceful. The three duchesses under Saleen mobilized their forces and persuaded the nobles to join in Phoenix. Qin was tempted by the situation in the north, and Gu Ya and others successfully built a city in Phoenix, completely blocking the two most important passages into Phoenix.

Sika fully supported the three female nobles, and on the side of Lone Star City, the army of the Inquisition attacked to no avail, retreated to Garulan, and entered the north of Qin Yin from the frontal battlefield.

Rex's attack on Iron Wall City is still effective, and the Holy See's army may avoid the Metatrin Kingdom because of the unfavorable terrain, even if Lone Star City is overthrown, a large-scale army will not be able to enter Metatrin smoothly, but Rex's Bitterwater County is also calm now.

The thousands of miles of land controlled by Daliang City, no one went to attack.

The people of the Tangulas Empire are also afraid that Rex will go crazy and attack their country and city. Until a good defense is found, the expeditionary force of the Holy See can only bypass the territory of Salin and Rex.

Alchemy City began to send magicians to negotiate with the nobles in various places to demand greater power. As long as it can support Alchemy City, Alchemy City is willing to rearrange the defense system for the nobles' city, and send magicians to build magic towers. Alchemy City's fangs were exposed, and after a thousand years of silence, Alchemy City had decided to join the action of competing for the continent.

The northern nobles had no choice but to give in, and they signed contracts with Alchemy City one after another, and there was no longer a voice from Holy Rock City in the northern territory of the entire Qin Yin Empire.

Saleen was well informed and had already established contact with Port Royal, Metatrin City, Great Liang City and Kushui County, and these news were transmitted to Ceylon City as soon as possible, and Saleen accelerated the pace of building Ceylon City.

Saleen did it very simply, he drew a circle on the magic map, drew the plains around Ceylon City, and the land suitable for farming, and then sent the demon legions to convince the nobles who had not signed the contract.

This kind of forcible occupation, if it was in the past, would definitely cause the entire continent to condemn, but now no one cares, even His Majesty Donnie, there is a fire in the backyard, and there is no time to take care of it.

Salin originally intended to occupy a hundred li of land, but the final territory was three hundred and sixty li long from north to south and two hundred and eighty li wide from east to west, and it was already possible to establish a small state. There are very few northwestern plains in the north of Scochenia, and the place carved out by Saleen is already the limit, and then it expands outward, it is the mountainous area.

The persuasion of the demon legions was extremely effective, and the nobles expressed their willingness to follow the great King Metatling. Salin calmly dispatched troops and placed defenses at key points. The mercenary groups in this territory naturally have to submit to Salin.

Ceylon City's port expanded the fastest, and Salin demanded that in addition to the commercial docks, the most important thing in the port was to build forts, set up magic towers, and build a chain of military ports.

The military dock must be able to repair warships of more than 200 meters, and it must also have a strong supply capacity.

Salin's men were so busy that even Neris was sent out to do her daily errands. His student Truman was sent to the mountains to build Fort Metatrin.

Everything went well, unlike before, when Salin started to do something, someone came to sabotage it. However, Salin himself did not want to stop, because there was another city that stood in the way of the north, the city of the sun.

The lord of Shining Sun City, Count Sufonso, once destroyed the family cemetery in Saleen. Now, Salin is going to collect the debt.
