Chapter 501: Tempting the enemy to the deepest (Part 1)

No matter how good the equipment is, it requires the corresponding level 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 knew that his own strength was more important, the problem was that he was not only a magician, but also a king. He was responsible for his followers and his subordinates' equipment.

For the first time since becoming a magician, Salin felt like a coolie. Truman couldn't help him too much. Fortunately, Salin was full of mental power and could teach Truman experience while refining equipment.

Truman has received such patient teaching for the first time since he followed Salin. He accompanied Salin to refine equipment without eating or drinking, and the magic strings in his body grew unknowingly.

His qualifications are much better than Salin, but unfortunately he is not as lucky as Salin. When he was on Srieg Island, he was overwhelmed by many talents and did not win the favor of any magician, so he was even a little depressed.

However, after arriving in Metatlin City, Salin handed over the miniature magic cannon to him to manage, which made Truman feel valued and feel very different. Later, Salin even accepted him as a student, and Truman's grudge completely disappeared, and he devoted himself to practicing magic.

Knowing that he would have a bright future, this feeling is irreplaceable. Truman's speed of advancement became terrifying, and he was discovered by Jason. The increase in plane power is the most obvious effect for a talented mage like Truman. He is a level 5-level magician. After working with Salin for six consecutive days, Truman advanced.

What hindered him was only some insights. His magic strings grew several times faster than Salin. Salin's water element body made his advancement difficult.

Salin didn't expect Truman to advance to another level so soon. He originally planned to let Truman understand it alone for a few years and then guide him on how to advance to the magician. In the current situation, Truman can continue to learn from him.

In six days, the magicians of Metatlin City arrived at Port Royal, which was not fast, but considering that the magicians also brought a group of warriors and many great magicians and used three warships, the speed was already amazing.

Metatlin City also brought a lot of supplies to Rex, mainly in terms of materials. Rex does not have many magic cores now, and the magic cores that Salin has assigned her are not enough to set up a coastal defensive position. Fortunately, there are ancient warships, and the clone of the mechanical undead can share a lot of trouble for Rex.

The twelve magicians stayed in Port Royal for a long time, helped Rex arrange a large number of magic circles, and then quickly set sail and headed straight for Ceylon City.

The border of Ceylon City is less than a hundred miles away from Yaoyang City, and now nearly 50,000 troops have been stationed. Salin has all the refugees in Ceylon City and those who are not engaged in production, and arranged here. His demon army, with two thousand elite soldiers, continues to wander outside Yaoyang City.

It has to be said that the combat power of the Demon Legion is not as strong as theirs. The demons who are more than five meters high wander in sight all day long, which makes the soldiers in Yaoyang City panic. Such an enemy makes them feel a little desperate.

Yaoyang City is not a major city, with only a thousand elite soldiers, and the rest are ordinary soldiers and low-level mercenaries.

Su Fangsuo also knew that if this continued, the soldiers would collapse. I am afraid that if they did not wait for the attack, their city would be over. But he could not escape. Yaoyang City is the family's residence, and all relatives were here. If he escaped, the little nobles and the leaders would completely rebel.

If the great nobles cannot stick to their territory, the consequences will be terrible.

In a state of anxiety and helplessness, the imperial capital finally had news. His Majesty Donnie summoned twelve mercenaries, and 10,000 royal cavalry to support Yaoyang City. These twelve mercenaries were not garbage, each of which was above level six and had more than 10,000 troops. This time, the twelve mercenaries dispatched a total of 10,000 soldiers, plus the royal cavalry and private soldiers of more than 30 local nobles, a total of more than 150,000 people came to support them in a mighty manner.

His Majesty Donnie spent a lot of money to invite these mercenaries, and he could no longer sit idly by. If he continued, the nobles would really rebel and surrender to Salin. And Donnie also knew that Salin would not take the initiative to destroy his city now, otherwise it would cause huge panic.

There are no more than ten cities on the Meers continent that can withstand the attack of metal aircraft.

Metal aircraft are not a powerful equipment, but their targets are ordinary army and civilians. No city can afford such an attack.

In addition to these soldiers, there were also the surviving magicians of Tiebi City, who also followed the army to Yaoyang City. They wanted to clean up the shame. When the Elemental Magic Tower arrived, these people chose to retreat. If they counterattacked, at least some more people could escape from Tiebi City, right?

Donnie himself also sent three palace mages, a total of six level nine magicians, which were extremely powerful in the Skochenya Empire. At the same time, Donnie sent a mercenary group to restrain Rex of Port Royal. If Rex divided his troops to support Salin, it would become a formal attack and regain Port Royal.

Donnie dispatched his troops so late to contact the Holy See. Pope Dinicio learned the news and agreed to send warships to attack Ceylon City on the coast.

Donnie's final order was |--Any mercenary group, if it breaks through Ceylon City, would be the lord there and would be exempted from ten years of taxes.

This is an attractive poison, but all the mercenary groups are excited. Because Salin has integrated all the small nobles near Ceylon City, the area of ​​Ceylon City is now expanding very much. If this territory can be obtained, it is equivalent to having a private country.

The eighth and nineth level mercenary groups are ready to move. Many lower-level mercenary groups take the initiative to contact powerful mercenary groups. The small mercenary groups know that with their own strength, they cannot defeat Ceylon City. What they want is very simple, cooperation and sharing the spoils.

In this way, when 150,000 reinforcements arrived in Yaoyang City, hundreds of mercenary groups behind them moved, and led by six large mercenary groups, they rushed to Ceylon City. Among these mercenary groups, there were only more than 100 people, and most of them could reach more than 3,000. Together, more than 400,000 mercenaries gathered in the north of Skochenya, and there were more small mercenary groups, with only three or five people, all rushing to Ceylon City, wanting to get a bargain.

Everyone does not think that Ceylon City cannot be defeated. On Port Royal, the huge ancient warships did not hide their bodies. Port Royal is being expanded and the city is being re-established. The number of soldiers can be estimated. Most of the troops attacking Ironbi City remained in Port Royal. No one knows that Salin had 100,000 demons in his hands.

In the eyes of the mercenaries, if Salin had the power to destroy Yaoyang City, he would have taken action long ago. No one knew the cause of the conflict between Su Fangsuo and Salin, but Salin was at the city, so it was definitely not for sightseeing. There were already 60,000 or 70,000 troops south of Yaoyang City.

When Salin heard the news, he was happy that if there were fewer people coming, he would not be able to fight back. So many troops arrived, Yaoyang City could not hold it, so he could only directly attack his own territory.

Salin quickly ordered the demon army on the front line to retreat moderately. Once the enemy is strong, escape back in the direction of Ceylon City immediately and do not bother.

As for the more than 50,000 new recruits, Salin also tried his best to arrange vehicles so that they could retreat.

The equipment of these new recruits is not pitiful compared to the low-level mercenaries. They are paper armor brought by Salin. The materials of these paper armor are all waste products derived from magic apprentices and low-level wizards when practicing magic. The defense is comparable to leather armor, but there is no good way to repair it. It is a one-time equipment.

But Skochenya's low-level mercenaries even regarded this kind of paper armor as treasures. These paper armors looked very majestic, and with a small amount of ceremonial armor, Salin armed these new recruits without much gold coins.

If you expect these recruits to kill the enemy, you will be crazy. Among these recruits, less than one-tenth of them have had the experience of becoming mercenaries.

However, the commander of these new recruits was the generals from Kushui County. Salin gave them the order to lure the enemy into deeper.

The generals were puzzled by this vague order and asked Salin where he wanted to lure the enemy. Salin pointed to the new city wall that was still being built and said, "Take it here and remember the merits for you."

Then the orders these generals gave the soldiers were a little strange. The first military law accepted by the recruits was to not discard equipment.

Salin did not want these recruits to die, but the escape from their arms and armor was of no help to the growth of these recruits, and would only cultivate a group of soldiers. Once these people abandoned their weapons and armor, there would be no hope in the future. All the recruits were equipped with light equipment. Salin gave them paper armor, hand crossbows, short spears and thin swords, just because they were afraid that these soldiers would not be able to bear the burden.

It was not until June that Yaoyang City suddenly launched an attack. The heavy armored cavalry attacked the demon's position. Unlike what Count Su Fangsuo thought, the demons had little combat power. After contact, they were defeated by the same number of heavy armored cavalry.

This heavily armored cavalry is also Downey's elite unit. Although Salin ordered the demons to let the water go, if this army was not attacking the demons' positions, there would be no way for the demons to pretend to be defeated.

Earl Su Fangsuo was overjoyed. His Majesty's iron cavalry was indeed invincible. He ignored his subordinates' dissuasion and led his private army, two thousand auxiliary soldiers, a total of three thousand people, to break out of Yaoyang City. If it weren't Earl Su Fangsuo's mind-retarded, he was already the Golden Sword Saint, so of course he would not feel that his life was in danger.

Now His Majesty has ordered the attack on Ceylon City to be the time to make achievements. The 150,000 troops outside the city are only considered vanguards, and there are hundreds of mercenary groups behind them. How many troops are there in Ceylon City? 20,000 people?

So what if Salin is a level nine magician? He is the Golden Sword Saint. If Salin is alone, it would not be impossible to kill him.
