Chapter 476: Target, Iron Wall City (Part I)
γFirst Updateγ
As a mage, Salin naturally believes in the belief that giving and giving are equal. It's just that this time, he seems to have received too little in return. The four divine trees and seeds, the materials of the eighteenth level, seem to be the most advanced things in this world, but the limit of this world is the twelfth level, and no matter how advanced the equipment materials are, they can't play a corresponding role.
Something that is only worth the twelfth level, but it has to be exchanged for the price of unifying the continent and promoting faith. If this is fair, then the Lord of Radiance has already unified the continent, and it is the turn of the goddess Myers to be resurrected?
The Divine Seal that Salin obtained at the beginning is probably a twelfth-level or higher equipment, and it cannot exert the most powerful power on the Myers Continent. This is just one of the three artifacts of the Pope, and the three artifacts are all together, and it is said that they can directly borrow the power of the gods, break the barrier of the plane, and send pure divine power to the plane of the Myers continent.
This thing was given to Joey, I don't know what the result of Joey chasing Faka was.
Thinking of this, Salin couldn't wait to catch up and see how the two tenth-level peak powerhouses fought. Recently, I have relied too much on the power of equipment, and in the long run, how can I advance?
Salin gradually regained his mood and was no longer agitated.
On the south bank of the Nameless River, the clean-up of the battlefield had begun, two large battalions had been routed, too many soldiers had been killed by magic fire bombs and drums of fear, and this time, the Skocians had suffered even greater losses than in the previous battle.
At least 300,000 soldiers were killed in the attack, and this time, the resistance of the Scochenian soldiers was significantly weaker, and Saleen's army suffered even fewer losses. The more than 200,000 troops who had fled could no longer be brought together, but fled aimlessly.
The magicians and generals fled westward into the border between the Duchy of the Henine and Garlouland, and many soldiers could not distinguish the direction and fled to the depths of the Qin Yin Empire. These soldiers were soon captured by the troops sent by the North Rejection City.
The North Rejection City knew that Lone Star City was trapped, and although it did not send troops to rescue, it also ambushed many people near the Nameless River. When the battle broke out suddenly, the city of Northern Rejection received the news, and before these soldiers and horses could be dispatched, Salin had already launched a second blow, completely crushing the Skocians on the south bank of the Nameless River.
The soldiers and horses of the North Rejection City did not receive exact orders, so they let go of the troops that fled westward, only to capture the rout army that broke through the territory of Qin Yin, and then returned to the North Rejection City with these tens of thousands of prisoners.
There are also Skocians who fled south, captured by the large army on the Qin-Yin border, this area is already on the edge of the frontal conflict between Qin-Yin and the Holy See, and there are tens of thousands of Qin-in elites distributed in various fortresses, responsible for the northern guard. These elite Qin Yin armies belonged to different northern nobles, but they were related to each other, which was different from the southern aristocracy.
These armies had long planned to attack the Skochenians from behind, but Holy Rock never gave orders for support.
In the end, there was not a single Skocian, who fled into the Garudan, and when they arrived, there were more than 900,000 horses, and when they returned, there were less than 50,000 left. The saddest thing for the general was that eleven magicians died. The number of magicians in the Scochenian Empire was only about one-tenth of that of Qin Yin, and such a loss was already huge.
In two battles, more than 900,000 enemy troops were crushed, and more than half of the enemy were killed, and such a battle had not happened on the continent of Mels for a long time. Qin Yin and the Tanggulas Empire fought for several years, and the two sides were only consumed in a tug-of-war. The losses of the Qin Yin were more than one-third of the losses of the Tangulas Empire. If you include the losses of the Principality of Garulan itself, the casualties of the Qin Yin people are even greater.
Saleen created this bizarre war, relying solely on a force far superior to that of his enemies. After a few battles, the Metatrin lost more than 200,000 undead.
Of course, Salin and Rex don't calculate these consumptions, so naturally they have subordinates to count them. In fact, the consumption of the undead is nothing, and when the auxiliary soldiers of the Temple Legion die, they will have to increase the pension, and this part is calculated within the scope of the loss. The compensation to the necromancer is not much.
Back in Lone Star City, Neris has been anxious to return to Metatrin City, Ani has already received the battle report, and half of the warriors on the Elven Wings will return first to end the battle.
Seeing that Aini couldn't hide the joy on his face, Salin smiled and said: "Aini, this time, I'm also relieved, the number of troops actually sent by the Inquisition is more than 300,000, and you still have at least 500,000 undead in your hands now, and I have left you with three temple legions, as well as twelve ancient warriors." You can also ask for less than 10 magicians from Metatrin City to build several magic towers in the city. β
Aini said, "Salin, I want to make this a city of the undead, how about it?"
"No, at least 100,000 human troops must be stationed. Aini, all undead, once the mage gets out of control, the city is lost. β
"That's what I meant, I want all the necromancers in Metatrin City to come over. β
"Do you have a way to control it?" Salin wondered.
"This. Aini reached out and showed Saleen his Scarlet Soul Tower.
Salin frowned and said, "This Scarlet Soul Tower is demonic equipment, how do you control the mage?"
"You don't understand the source of the necromancer's power, after I advance to the ninth level, with this Scarlet Soul Tower, the entire Lone Star City is under my protection, which is much more powerful than the Magic Tower. β
"Then you can't leave Lone Star City?"
"Then don't leave, the speed of cultivation here is really fast, it's not because of the advancement of the continent's strength, Lone Star City is an ancient battlefield, and the underground is full of the aura of death, and my plant undead are grown here, making my advancement ......"
"But in the future, I need you to attack the cities of the Holy See with me. What am I going to do if you don't leave?" said Salin, joking.
"Hey, flesh and blood undead, when I was at the ninth level, it was equivalent to one of my doppelgangers, the same kind as gods. When the time comes, you can stay here for me, and I will take the plant undead with me, and I can go anywhere. β
Salin's eyes lit up, this Aini's advancement was really useful, his plant undead, energy source constantly provided power to all kinds of undead creatures. This is equivalent to human food and equipment, the location of Lone Star City is special, there is no place to grow food nearby, and it doesn't matter if you can stay in the lonely city for a long time with the undead.
"But you are a duke, you can't be a court mage in the dead country......" Salin didn't say it directly, what he meant was that a duke, and then mastered all the necromancers in the dead country, would cause other nobles to be suspicious and worried.
"Salin, aren't you going to build an elemental magic tower here? Let the court mages keep an eye on me, and those nobles will have nothing to say. Anyway I like it here, I want to ......"
Salin patted Aini on the shoulder and said, "Aini, if you want to be a fief here, you have to wait until everyone has established meritorious deeds." The three of them have contributed a lot, so they are here for you. I'm in a lot of trouble. β
When Salin said the central matter, Aini didn't blush, and said: "This is also simple, four dukes, when you were rewarded, you were just to set an example, so that the nobles could take refuge in you." Now that you are united with Rex, you have the six-winged flying snake mark in your hand, and you are a legitimate royal family. Even if you draw cakes for them, they are attractive. Phoenix will have to occupy it sooner or later, even if it is Qin Yin......"
Aini paused and glanced at Rex. Rex laughed, "You say, Aini. β
"Even if it is Qin Yin, once it collapses, in the name of Rex, it can still be recovered and become the territory of the Metatrin Kingdom. The Grykos family will support it, right?"
"Well, you'll support me. Rex replied.
"Then hurry up and reward all four dukes, so that they will not be dissatisfied in the future. Choose three plots of land on the Phoenix border, and I only need this Lone Star City, and everyone will be satisfied. In the future, once the Metatrin Kingdom expands, there will be no reason for the Gu Ya and them to change their fiefs, let alone expand their fiefs into the county lord's Qin Yin territory. β
Salin exclaimed, "Ani, who said you were just a necromancer, such an idea is too ......"
"It's too bad!|" Rex laughed too. Aini's idea is good, the duke's fief can be expanded, but there will not be a duke, and the fief will be divided, and it must be a complete land. If it is not sealed now, the kingdom of Metatrin will expand in the future, and the Gu Ya and their territories may want somewhere.
It's better to limit the three duchesses to the territory of Phoenix now, anyway, the three duchesses' ambitions are not big now, and if the ambitions of the dukes swell in the future, it will really be difficult to deal with.
"Salin, in order not to make them suspicious, your son and daughter, too, should quickly establish their identities, first build two cities, and form a pattern of four dukes protecting their little highness in the interior of their territory, so that no one will be suspicious. β
For the sake of Lone Star City, Aini completely ignored the other three duchesses.
From the current point of view, the benefits of the three of them are many, but that is because the matter of Salin's determination to attack Qin Yin is not clear to others, and he only hinted at it with Aini. Now that it has been approved by Rex in person, this plan, from Aini's mouth, has a bit of a sinister taste.
"In the future, if you establish an empire, the capital of the country will almost be Daliang City, and this Metatrin City will be the fief of the Metatrin family, and it will never be shaken. The founding duke, who defended the city of Metatrine, is also a good story. Ani smiled and said soundly.
There was something that Aini didn't say, and Saleen knew it. That is, if the three duchesses have some opinions in the future, they can only blame Aini, this idea is completely Aini's idea, and it is for his Lone Star City.
In the long run, Aini was at odds with the other three Founding Dukes, but it was a very good outcome for the Metatrin family.
Rex narrowed his eyes and glanced at Aini, this necromancer, if it weren't for the man, she would have suspected that she had some personal affair with Saleen.
"Aini, I've wronged you. "Saleen knew that this matter would definitely spread in the future, and all the Metatrin nobles would think that it was Aini who instigated Saleen to quickly divide the Dukedom for the sake of a Lone Star City.
"What are you afraid of, I will live a long time, I will be the oldest duke of the empire in the future, what can their descendants do to me?" Ani directly used the word empire, obviously very confident in the future of Saleen and Rex.
