Chapter 159: Meeting Aini again (Part 1)

"Will those devils of the Holy See come back?" Conan asked with lingering fear.

"If there is no accident, next spring, a small number of troops will infiltrate. At most two years, the Holy See will appear in the northern waters."

Conan lowered his head and carefully analyzed what Salin said. He didn't quite understand what Salin said, but he knew that the barbarians had at most two years to continue facing the devils.

The barbarians are not afraid of fighting, but the devils are protected by evil gods, and the barbarian gods have long since fallen.

Salin stopped talking and quietly waited for Conan's answer. After a long time, Conan rectified his thoughts and described the affairs of the Holy See in the north to Salin again.

According to Conan's knowledge, the Holy See had been active in the north for at least five years. At the beginning, the Holy See came to the north to preach, hoping to develop believers among the barbarians. After two years of busyness without results, the Holy See's people in the north were replaced on a large scale with the black-armored warriors of the Inquisition.

Then there was the beginning of the killing. The barbarians had a large range of activities and the tribes were not concentrated. There were not many people at the beginning of the Holy See, but after gradual erosion, after only two years, tens of thousands of barbarians completely disappeared from the wilderness in the north.

The methods of the Holy See are very cruel. They don’t want children or elderly people, as long as barbarians can fight. Often after a barbarian tribe is swept, the barbarians who survive in single digits. Most barbarians who escaped are survived because they are not in the tribe and go out to hunt.

The area where the Conan tribe is active is quite large, and he knows the locations of hundreds of tribes within a radius of thousands of miles. After three years, none of these more than 100 tribes have been preserved intact.

Salin briefly analyzed that the northern wasteland is a prominent land in the upper right corner of the Meers Continent, with a vast area. According to the density of such divisions, there are at least tens of thousands of barbarians on the northern wasteland. A tribe controls a range of about 100 miles, with a small number of people, about 100 people. Such a residential density is lower than that of the Caucasians. No wonder there has never been any major force in the north for so many years.

The barbarians still live in a primitive way, and are not as willing to run around and become mercenaries as the Caucasians, which is an almost forgotten race. The first time they are remembered, they bring a tragic ending.

The internal part of the Holy See contains three forces. The Inquisition is one side, and the God Envoy is the other side. The main body of the secular body is the Cardinal. The Cardinal will not do this. The contract signed with the three empires that year was the Cardinal.

The first person who preached should be the forces of God's envoys.

The seven god envoys in the Holy See have special believers and act in a mysterious way. They can turn a blind eye to the refining blood knights. The power of the god envoys should have put the people from the Inquisition in the hopelessness of preaching.

According to the description of the barbarian Conan, the referee had to kill two barbarians before they could capture one. The referee also suffered huge losses at the beginning. However, after a year of battle, the situation completely reversed. The referee sent a large number of magicians, and the death rate of the black-armored warriors suddenly decreased. The barbarians did not sacrifice and the injured people could not receive any help.

If the number of barbarians is about 150,000, the referee can capture a total of 50,000 people. These 50,000 people are refined into blood knights, which are five knight orders.

The five swordsman-level knights are really a terrifying force. If these blood knights do not siege the city, they will cause terrifying damage in the field.

The swordsman camp in Rex Kushui County is one of the few elites. After ten years of training, the ratio of swordsmen to swordsmen is only one to four. In other words, two of the ten warriors are swordsmen.

However, Rex had been operating for ten years, and such elite soldiers were just one battalion, which was 10,000 people, including two thousand swordsman-level warriors. The Holy See searched for barbarians in the north, and it took three years to create more than twenty times the power of Kushui County. If both sides fought in the field, Rex's swordsman camp would be killed so much that it was gone.

Of course, Rex also has a large number of low-level mages in his hands, but the Inquisition also has a large number of magicians and ascetics. These people have the power of magicians, which is a magician given by gods. Perhaps with the magicians, Rex's swordsman camp can fight one against two, but the enemy's power exceeds twenty times, which is not something that magicians can solve.

From a time perspective, the referee captured the barbarians just when the Black Magician appeared. Salin suspected that the Black Magician's affairs were created by the referee to attract others' attention and ignore what happened in the northern wilderness. The question is, how did the referee bring back the Tanggulas Empire to the Tanggulas Empire?

Did the Grand Duke of Phoenix participate in this matter? If this is true, then there may be a large amount of hidden power from the Holy See. Once the war on the Western Front becomes tense, these hidden forces will attack from the north. The worst possible is that the Blood Knights have been deployed in the Principal of Phoenix.

The new Grand Duke Phoenix is ​​still in Holy Rock City and refuses to return to his country no matter what. The entire Duchy country is supported by local nobles.

Salin's suspicion is not unreasonable. The appearance of the black magician seemed to be a flash in the pan, and later it was suppressed by the local nobles of Phoenix. With the power of Phoenix, if the black magician was really rekindled and prepared well, without Qin Yin's help, those Phoenix nobles would not have been able to wipe out a large number of black magicians.

If there is such a thing in the Principality of Phoenix, the newly built city of Salin would be extremely dangerous. The straight-line distance between Phoenix and Phoenix is ​​less than two thousand miles away. If it is the Blood Knights, it can be reached in at most two days.

If Salin's city has been built, of course he is not afraid of the Knights, but now he has not even built the city wall, let alone the magic tower that helps the city defend. If the Blood Knight attacks before the city is built, Salin can't defend the city base at all, even with magic cannons.

The worst thing is that if Rex brought a large group of troops back and wanted to travel through the Principality of Phoenix. Rex didn't know that it was dangerous. If it was really as he had judged, Rex's men would almost be wiped out.

"Sir Salin, I'll ask the elders to contact other tribe survivors." Conan finally made up his mind. In Salin's city base, the barbarians' life was very good, and they were no longer hungry. All that was left was hunting, fighting, and training that the barbarians knew so well.

"You... go." Salin was in a heavy mood.

After Conan left, Neris said: "Master, do you want to send someone to Kushui County?"

"It's too late, Rex may be in the Caucasus region now. And Kushui County does not have a teleportation array, so it's almost impossible to find Rex."

"Then let's go to the Phoenix border and wait. Anyway, there will be only two or three roads to enter Phoenix."

"I have no one to send." Salin showed a sad look for the first time. In the past, he had almost nothing and had no foundation. He could escape when he encountered trouble. Now he has a city on his back, which is the city he built by his teacher, and he can't escape again.

The three battleships Jason gave to Salin were originally halved. Rex took one-third away, Pasatro and Cornuco took one-third away, and if the remaining one-third were sent out, the city would have completely stopped working. Of course, those pirates could not be sent to Phoenix, and Salin was not very relieved.

And if all the people here are transferred, what should we do with the Three Kings and the Undead? Once Salin is a little surprised, then this place will be completely part of the Three Kings, and the teacher's hard work will turn into nothing.

"How about Daniel?" Neris mentioned the necromancer, and Salin could only shake his head.

"Daniel is now willing to follow me honestly, but his level is too low. And it takes at least three people to go to Phoenix to guard all intersections."

Neris had no choice. The Winged Skeleton wanted to control the Round Turtle Alchemy Ship and could not leave. She wanted to protect Salin, nor could she leave. In addition, Salin was only four third-level mages left by his side, with similar strength to Daniel. Once they left, Salin was the only commander left here.

"No wonder those legendary magicians have many followers around them, ah..." Salin sighed frequently. He is not short of money or materials now, but he is short of manpower.

"Master, the Holy See may not immediately think of how to deal with you. It's better for us to divert the Holy See..."

“How to transfer?”

"Skochenya has many reputable mercenaries. We can hire a group to go to Phoenix. If the Holy See really has hidden power there, it is easy to make unhidden noises, and Rex will naturally be more careful."

"If the number of mercenaries exceeds a certain level, they cannot enter another country freely. Although Phoenix is ​​only a principality, it is subordinate to Qin Yin and will not let a large number of mercenaries enter the country. If the number of mercenaries is small, it will not work at all. Rex is also the prince of Qin Yin. He led his troops across the country. The Grand Duke of Phoenix is ​​not here, and no one dares to stop her, but the mercenaries cannot do it."

When Salin was worried, someone knocked on the door outside.

"Come in." Salin called out, and a magic apprentice walked into the temple of Salin's cultivation and said, "Sir Salin, Pasatro and the others are back."

"Are you back?" Salin was overjoyed. Just as he was worried that there was no one at hand, Pasatro and Cornuco came back. He really wanted to sleep and drop their pillows from the sky. "Take me to see you!"

"Sarin, are you so anxious? Do you want to see me?" A familiar and unfamiliar voice came from outside the door.

"Ani?"
