Chapter 472: Shocking Courage (Part 1)
Farka finally didn't come back, and the battle here lasted until midnight. It was not that the Skochenya people were so powerful, but that Salin's elemental creatures had to rest. This was not the Abyss King City, and the recovery of elemental creature power did not exist in the Abyss King City. Salin didn't expect that after Faka came back, he didn't even have cannon fodder to stand in front.
The camp in the north was attacked by Salin and Aini, and the third camp in the south simply chose to retreat.
The Skochenya, known as the army of millions, collapsed after ten hours of fighting. The elemental creatures were exhausted, and Salin had to leave six spares for each elemental creature, and the Blue Ice Girl simply left thirty-six. Goria could not help Salin fight within a year and could not restore the elemental creatures under his command. Salin was careful to calculate.
The devil's death was still less than a thousand. After the battle situation expanded, all battles could not be supported by elemental creatures. Under the impact of the Skochenya people on both sides, the demons in the Temple Legion, as the main force, inevitably suffered casualties.
The proportion of casualties of demons has always been huge. If a demon dies, the proportion of serious injuries may exceed five. If a demon does not die, he can recover himself even without a doctor or magician.
Salin only brought two battalions of temple legions, with four thousand magical heavy infantry inside. There was no loss in these four thousand heavy infantry. A lot of armor was damaged, and almost one-fifth of the magical armor was completely damaged and he withdrew from the battle.
Tens of thousands of troops were launched in Lone Star City to clean the battlefield, and the wounded were carried into the city by orderly undead people. The loss of 100,000 troops brought by Salin was only more than 8,000, and they were basically auxiliary soldiers.
However, one of the ten is a big loss. If the enemy hadn't died more, Salin would have lost this battle. Salin estimated in his mind that his Temple Legion had the strongest combat power, and the main legion of the five battalions in one battalion was much worse than that of the enemy, but it could still be done with one against two.
Salin had no desire to clean the battlefield. Faka's appearance made him very uncomfortable and went directly to Lone Star City. His army was handed over to Nicholas to take care of. Salin and Aini greeted him and went to Rex's magic tower.
Rex did not appear in such a fierce battle. She was calmly doing magic experiments in the magic tower, and there were more than a dozen magicians waiting around her.
Seeing Salin come in, the dozen or so magicians are about to leave. Rex said, "Continue your business."
Salin is not the boy he used to be. Of course, I could hear that Rex's unhappiness must have hurt the Qin Yin Empire because of his decision.
It is useless to reason at this time. Rex does not understand the situation in the mainland, but it is just difficult to accept it emotionally. Salin walked to Rex and called out: "Lace."
"Yes." Rex replied faintly.
"I am coming."
"I knew it a long time ago." Rex said unhappily, and Salin laughed instead. Rex finally understood that he did this because of the goddess' contract. He could not lead the army to overthrow the rule of Holy Rock City, which was too bloody. Rex fully understood Salin, but he was just mentally depressed and wanted to find someone to vent his anger.
The problem is that Salin is not someone who can be used to vent his anger. Both of them have signed a contract and are not distinguished from each other. There are some things that Rex has to do in the future, such as occupying Phoenix first and turning Guderian into the border between Metattering and Qin Yin.
"What should I do, lace?" Salin asked deliberately.
"What should I do?"
The great magicians around were also pricking up their ears and listening, but Salin looked at them. The great magicians had to turn around and leave. What did the couple want to talk about? It would be bad if they stayed. After all, Salin was their highness. Rex did not call them again this time.
"I caught the attention of the Holy See and have not killed the Iron Blood Duke."
"What's this? Qin Yin took more than a hundred years to establish an empire. Including the first generation of Grüx, this time is more than eight hundred years. How many years have you been founding?"
"For more than eight hundred years, aren't you going to die of old age?"
"You, you always see this thing in front of you." Rex said depressedly. She was not the case, but in recent times, everything Salin has been tossing is not too long-term. This made Rex a little weak. Salin didn't care about some of the arrangements she made.
"It won't be possible if you don't look in front of you, Lace." Salin said, taking out his fear drum and putting it in front of Rex.
The terrifying face on the front of the fear war drum was still grinning, as if he wanted to swallow Salin.
"This... was the thing you mentioned to refine?" Rex was a mage. He was interested in magic equipment and suddenly forgot to have a quarrel with Salin.
"Well, the twelve-level creature, the skin of the Fear Angel, has a trace of the companion soul of the Fear Angel." Salin said, and took out the broken jade again. The two souls of the Fear Angel were imprisoned in the broken jade.
Rex took the broken jade in his hand, studied it for a while, and said, "We have no choice..."
"Yes, these two things are not fooled and cannot be deceived. It would be a pity to force them to be refined. Unless one of the souls is put in, the fear war drum can only be a level nine equipment."
"What does this have to do with our affairs?" Rex suddenly remembered that he was abducted by Salin.
"Remember the first expeditionary force sent by the Holy See?"
"Remember, there were no strong people in Metatrium at that time."
"Do you know why Dinicio sent his troops to attack Metatriline?"
"Don't go around the corner, just say it." Rex stared.
"Nicholas told me that Pope Dinicio had a dream, dreaming of me..."
"Dreams you?" Rex was surprised. She was sure that Salin had never met Dinicio.
"He not only dreamed of me, but also this fear war drum. In my dream, I used this equipment to kill countless believers."
"Oracle?" Rex uttered the word with difficulty.
"Yes, Oracle. I tested the power of this war drum in the battle with the Iron Blood Duke. Although it is a level nine equipment, the attacks I launched are very terrifying. I didn't use this time because I couldn't control it well and I was afraid of hurting the undead."
Rex was silent. The Iron Blood Duke must have sent the news to the Holy See. The Pope knew about the existence of this thing and was even more confident about the oracle. Wouldn't this break both his and Sarah's plans?
"Lace, you don't have to be angry now. The Holy See will regard me as a more important goal, hey..."
Salin sighed deeply. At that time, for the sake of temporary pleasure, he tried this equipment and never thought that such consequences would occur.
"Or... I'll trade Daliang City for Phoenix, okay?" Rex said this after a while. She knew that if the entire Phoenix was occupied, she only needed to build a pass in the southwest pass of Phoenix, and the Kingdom of Metatlin would be much safer.
Salin was moved. Daliang City was developed by Rex. Although that land was not as big as Phoenix, it was related to the development of Kushui County. Rex said that he gave up and gave up in order to protect the Kingdom of Metathrin.
"Lace, this is absolutely not possible. Daliang City is the place where we are married. Nothing can be used for transactions. In the future, it will be your capital and the center of a new empire."
"Okay... let's call back." Rex was no longer angry with Salin. What she was thinking about now was how to protect the Metattering Kingdom.
"That's better to attack Phoenix directly."
"What?"
Salin took out the magic map and expanded it. He pointed out: "You mean to build a pass here, and it will be difficult for the entire Phoenix to enter. This is now an area controlled by the Qinin Empire and used to exchange Daliang City. You are still at a disadvantage. I mean here."
Salin pointed to the other side of the mountain pass and said, "There are four plains here, which are difficult to defend. But if I build a city here, do you think the Holy See wants to attack? Or bypass this place and attack Phoenix?"
Rex looked at the magic map in a daze. Seeing that she had not answered for a long time, Salin patted her on the shoulder. Rex then came to his senses and pointed to the Duchy of Rhine on the map: "What city is it? I think you are addicted to building cities and construction. You can't capture the Duchy of Rhine directly, and then enter Didips from the chaotic swamp, and simply swallow the Duchy of Rhine. With your strength, can't you do it?"
Salin smiled bitterly. He really wanted to do this. Rex had a good strategic vision. It was easier to conquer the Principal of Rhine than to defend Phoenix. At least now he has so many subordinates at level nine around him, and the Principal of Rhine is unable to resist. But there are also Farka in the chaotic swamp.
Joey went to chase Farka, and Salin couldn't determine the result.
If Faka doesn't die, it would be a joke to travel through the chaotic swamp by himself. If he can't travel through the chaotic swamp and occupy Didips, he can't defend Rhine.
I signed a contract with Farka, and I can't just tell Rex these things. Even Joy couldn't break this contract. The constraint on myself was a hundred times greater than that of Farka. It's just that I had no ability to resist at that time!
Seeing Salin smiled bitterly, Rex vaguely understood something. He signed a goddess contract with Salin, but he could not mention it to others. Salin must have a hidden secret.
"It's impossible to travel here, right?" Rex pointed to the chaotic swamp.
Salin shook his head and nodded again. Rex knew in his heart that there was a huge trouble hidden in this chaotic swamp.
Rex looked at the magic map and controlled the magic circle in his hand. The details on the magic map were revealed bit by bit. Every mountain, river and river were marked on it, and only the chaotic swamp was blurred.
"Sarin, can Teacher Jason defend Metattering City?" Rex asked a question that seemed irrelevant to the overall situation.
"Absolutely." Salin replied confidently.
"Then we will attack here, why not?" The magic map shrank rapidly and expanded the image. Rex's finger pointed upwards and landed in Skochenya.
