Chapter 319: Crazy Expeditionary Force (Part 1)
"What's this? The Marquis... I thought about this kind of thing. I just told you according to the script." Erinno talked about her man, and she no longer had the sadness of the past. She lived well in Metatlin City, and now she has advanced to a level six mage. Without that bracelet, she has recovered to her peak power in the continent of Meles.
Salin thought to himself, your man should be dead. This kind of mind is too terrible, no wonder he can rise rapidly in a place like the Tanggulas Empire.
Thinking of this in his heart, Salin didn't dare to say it. He said to Erinno: "Or, you will be responsible for this matter, how about it?"
Erinno said: "I am a mage, do you let me do this?"
"But no one around me knows how to do it, only you. You have the idea, and I'm not at ease with others."
"Forget it, Salin, you know I'm unwilling to do this. In this way, you choose a few people and I'm responsible for teaching them. This kind of small thing will take about half a month to learn about it." Erinno refused Salin's appointment.
Salin was not surprised. He refused to do this kind of thing. He consumed a lot of time every day, which was a waste of life for the magician. Erinno was willing to find a few people to guide him, which was the best result.
The matter was certain, and Salin began to practice in the temple.
A level six-level mage already needs a magic tower to gather rich elements to speed up the pace of magic practice and enter the ranks of magicians as soon as possible. Without a magic tower, magicians will have to spend ten times more energy to have hope.
Anthony and Franco, who came to join Salin, were a hundred times stronger than Salin in terms of qualifications. It was because they had no money to build a magic tower, and their cultivation speed was only as high as ordinary people.
The current temple of Salin does not come out outside. In fact, the sixth floor where he lives is no different from the layout of a magic tower. On the sixth floor, in addition to the mage who serves him, there is also a huge alchemy room. The entire sixth floor layout, connected to the five floors below, is a huge magic array.
The material of the temple is the practical separation between steel rock and white stone. The key place is still steel rock. The place where Salin lives has more elements than to be regarded as a level nine magic tower. Therefore, the mages, Daniel, and Erinno of Srieg Island were arranged by Salin to live in the temple.
There are not many rooms on the sixth floor, each of which is big enough. Salin has a room that has been closed and never opened. Even if he enters, he would rather consume a few magic cores through the teleportation array. The entire room is completely closed, with only the top, and there is ventilation hole to connect to the outside.
Salin is now in this room, the enclosed room is filled with water. Salin floats and sinks in the water, with a look of joy in his eyes. Next to his body, a six-meter-long thunder dragon swims around Salin.
This thunder dragon grew to a length of six meters in the goddess' necklace, and it was almost time to help Salin fight. The golden magic patterns on the light green skin of the thunder dragon were already very clear. While swimming, the golden magic patterns were still changing regularly. The room was not big, and Salin could only release a thunder dragon for feeding.
The ones he fed to the thunder dragon often added repair water and even magic liquid. In the goddess' necklace space, the soul of the thunder dragon grew normally and could even be said to be very powerful, but due to the lack of normal combat in nature, the physical strength of the thunder dragon was slightly insufficient. The thunder dragon was not a creature that relied on hand to hand to fight. In this way, the skin of these thunder dragons that grew to six meters long was still light green.
Salin didn't know the habits of the Thunder Dragon, and he didn't find any useful information on many magic notes. It was not until recently that Salin discovered that the Thunder Dragon not only ate meat, but also liked to eat the hard shells of monsters in the sea. He used to peel out the meat and feed it, but recently he began to let the Thunder Dragon eat the whole thing.
Now the skin of these thunder dragons has a faint silver color in their light blue color. Salin knew that if the amount of substances to be absorbed during the growth of the thunder dragon, it would be extremely unfavorable to the development of the thunder dragon.
For this, Salin had to organize a hunt, and go to the Ice Sea.
While teasing the Thunder Dragon, Salin kept releasing water-shaped shields. The water-shaped shield he released was only the size of a thumb, forming a series of bubbles in the water.
Salin communicated with the little thunder dragon with his mental power. The little thunder dragon released silver currents, accurately hitting each water-width shield. Each current was not too strong, but the water-width shield was broken under the current that the little thunder dragon was not very strong.
The effect of devil-breaking is the effect of the thunder dragon current. Salin's Thunder Eye has this effect. However, Salin's body is not as powerful as the thunder dragon, and the current released by the thunder dragon is barely ten meters away from the attack distance.
The attack of ten meters is another demon-breaking effect, which is a bit too close to the magician. Salin thought that his Thunder Eye has not continued to advance and the attack effect is not more than fifty meters, so he can only not use it for the time being. And these thunder dragons, even now, have the possibility of helping themselves fight. Of course, the battle must occur in the water.
Twenty-four thunder dragons launch an electric current attack at the same time, even the defensive magic of the level nine monster will be completely destroyed.
Now Salin has freed up some time every day to train the Thunder Dragon and his cooperation. These twenty-four Thunder Dragons have already looked a little bit. The target that Salin wants to attack can be keenly captured by the Thunder Dragon almost at the same time. This is equivalent to Salin having an instant electric attack.
If the Thunder Dragon could leave the water, Salin stroked the golden pattern on the Thunder Dragon's body with his hands, thinking without regret. The little Thunder Dragon intimately wrapped his body on Salin, and Salin felt the implicit and unreleased electric current.
"Oh, I can't force it." Salin sighed and took the thunder dragon back to the goddess' necklace. It was probably already noon. After dinner, he would learn some magic and exercise in life with Nanya. These Salin would also pass them to Master Srieg Island in the future. He made an appointment with Erinno to learn elf skills with Nelise.
What he wants to learn is elves magic, and Neris learns archery.
Elinnoken taught these, showing that even if she left in the future, she would not be enemies of Salin. The elves' skills were almost extinct in the Meers Continent. Elinno's royal archery and elf magic are all quite practical.
In addition to Nania, Rex also left a group of magicians for Salin. These mages were actually the backup plan for Rex. If something happened in Kushui County, she could have a group of mages making a comeback.
In this way, day after day, Salin practiced day and night. In early June, news came from the border that Rex's army encountered the Holy See Expeditionary Force. Rex left behind 20,000 people, of which only 5,000 were her swordsman battalions, and the others were auxiliary troops with relatively weak combat power.
Rex's 20,000 troops had three contacts and three defeats. He suffered not much loss of personnel, but he lost three towns. With a defensive against the offensive, the 20,000 troops were still no match for the 100,000 troops.
As for the few soldiers who lost, they received information from Salin. Rex's army did not fight hard. After consuming a certain amount of enemy strength, they could not do anything, so they retreated.
The Vatican Expeditionary Force entered Phoenix from the Rhine border, and headed north to the west of Phoenix. There were no decent cities along the way, and the defense of the town could not stop the expeditionary force from advancing.
The news brought by the carrier pigeons made Salin more and more shocked. His sixth battalion continued to raid the supply route behind the expeditionary army. However, he suffered a lot of damage. More than 10,000 people were sent out. After more than ten days of battle, he lost more than 1,000. There were more than 3,000 wounded people, so he had to leave the battlefield, otherwise the wounded would not be able to save them.
When the Expeditionary Force left the Duchy of Shen'en, it was about 160,000, of which 125,000 were combat troops, nearly 40,000 were responsible for logistics. Until now, the logistics troops of the Expeditionary Force have almost been completely killed, but the regular troops have only lost less than 10,000 people.
The fact that his own troops could escape so many wounded people was summoned by Judy Koko's secret help. From the intelligence perspective, the expeditionary forces of the Holy See were very powerful. Although they were not regular troops who had been trained, their morale was terrible. The biggest casualties were caused by the attacked logistics forces to the people of Salin.
These logistics troops were fearless and even had smiles on their faces when they died in battle.
Only then did Salin know why the Holy See is so terrible. This kind of delusion power is more useful than any magic. As long as you tell the believers that they will enter the kingdom of heaven after death, these believers will not care about who is fighting with them and whether they can defeat them.
In the Expeditionary Force, unlike what Salin imagined, there were still a large number of magicians. With these magicians, soldiers of the Holy See's army could quickly get up and fight again as long as they did not die. Although healing magic will shorten human lifespan, it is really fast and effective, and is stronger than magic.
Magical treatment will improve physical fitness without any consequences, but the treatment speed is too poor. On the battlefield, the recovery speed of this soldier has a great impact on morale.
The Holy See Expeditionary Force rushed through Phoenix, then headed eastward to Metatlin City. Salin felt that he underestimated the enemy this time and actually tried to use an army that had only been formed for several months to harass a group of madmen who were not afraid of death.
The aristocrats in the city were not fast enough to recruit teams. According to the marching speed of the Holy See, these thousands of miles of roads can be reached within a month.
Can the 50,000 troops stationed in Xizhen really stop these madmen? Damn Farka does not provide anyone with the core strength of this expeditionary army? How many magicians are there?
The Holy See has more than 100 million believers. If everyone can fight like this, how can they completely eliminate it?
