[Fourth Update]
Nelis found it interesting that her master wanted to subdue all the mages in Scotia. This process was not just about bribing, but also suppression.
King Metatlin was not only in charge of the nobles, but also the mages on the continent. This meant that Salin had already decided to be the most powerful king on the continent, just like the emperor of the First Dynasty.
There were few mages in Scotia, and their levels were low. It would be easy to subdue them. Salin wanted to use the Scotia Empire as an experiment in preparation for unifying the continent and conquering Alchemy City.
The people in Alchemy City would definitely not be willing to be under someone else. Her master was no longer aimless. Nelis felt her heart settle down, and she did not miss the Demonic Plane as much.
The next day, Nelis rushed to Radiant Sun City and replaced everyone in the Mage Tower, leaving behind the tamed demons and a demon that was about to evolve into a Great Demon to impersonate the Magic Shooter Juan.
Salin contacted Port Royal and sent the necklace to Rex through the teleportation formation. At the same time, he explained his plan. Rex was very pleased. Salin had matured, and was no longer the youth he used to be. This made her a little sad. Fortunately, she was not that kind of woman, and immediately replied to Salin.
The two exchanged information through the teleportation formation. After deciding on how to deal with the Scotia Empire, Rex contacted Metatlin City and asked them to reinforce Great Liang City.
Great Liang City only had six Mage Towers. In terms of the army, Sue was the only one in charge. In the past, it was naturally safe enough, but not now. The Vatican seemed to have avoided the territory of the Bitter Water Prefecture Kingdom, but in reality, they could invade at any time.
The land controlled by Great Liang City did not have any natural defenses. Only Three Link City on the western line was considered easy to defend and hard to attack. The territory in the north was basically a few small cities. If the Vatican wanted to attack, they could kill their way to Great Liang City at any time.
Rex had long wanted to send reinforcements, but the situation required manpower everywhere. While there were many mages in Metatlin City, they still had to take care of Port Royal and Ciaran City. Coupled with Lone Star City, no matter how many mages there were in Metatlin City, they could not take care of every place.
With Salin's actions, Lone Star City was temporarily out of danger. Sending people to Great Liang City wouldn't affect the situation, and they wouldn't be caught unprepared by any sudden incidents. What was even more amazing was that Holy Rock City had no time to care about Phoenix. Phoenix was taken over by Salin's three duchesses using gentle methods, and the Metatlin Kingdom gained a large piece of land that was easy to defend and hard to attack.
The Martian City front line was no longer the focus. The embryonic form of the Metatlin Kingdom had finally completed its development. Such a huge kingdom only needed to guard two mountain passes to be safe. Otherwise, the enemy could only attack Lone Star City and detour from the northernmost area. That way, the losses would be even greater. Even if they did not go to war with the Metatlin Kingdom, the terrible weather would make the soldiers shrink back.
Rex's view of the big picture was better than Salin's in the first place. At most, she wasn't as lucky as Salin. Even her magic training was faster than Salin. Seeing that Salin's plan had turned the situation around, Rex had no choice but to take care of his nest. If Great Liang City couldn't be defended, the Cloud Flow people could also attack from the sea in the future. The two secret mountain passages behind Kushui Commandery would also be exposed.
Great Liang City couldn't be lost. Rex knew the pros and cons, so she didn't care what others thought and wrote a letter to Jason directly, asking him to send Magic Shooters to Great Liang City.
Jason already had too many Magic Shooters on hand. Those with relatively ordinary aptitudes were all sent to the Six Yuan Space to train. After a few months, they would be level-nine Magic Shooters. Those with good aptitudes were kept in the Holy Temple and slowly advanced. Their speed was still many times faster than before.
He also had a lot of savings, which were all left behind by his teacher. Jason's lineage of mages had only had one disciple for several generations. They had accumulated a lot of wealth and were able to afford to raise their children.
Even if he couldn't support them, he still had Salin as his student.
Since Rex wanted people, Jason didn't hesitate. According to the size of Great Liang City, Jason chose six level-nine Magic Shooters and brought hundreds of Mages to Great Liang City.
Of course, the Church knew that Great Liang City was an important place. As long as they could open up the sea, they would be connected to the Cloud Flow Empire. The Iron Blood Duke's arrogant behavior made Pope Dinicio understand that the alliance with Cloud Flow was just a piece of waste paper. The Cloud Flow royal family might not be able to control the local nobles. Their future enemies would include these Cloud Flow people.
But the Scottinya people were in chaos, and the entire Iron Wall City had been burned to ashes. Downey was terrified and didn't have the strength to send troops, so naturally there was no need to talk about joining forces to attack Qin Yin. If they attacked Great Liang City at this time, not only would it anger Salin, it would also make the Cloud Flow people wary, and the alliance would be dissolved prematurely.
No matter what, the Iron Blood Duke had sent troops to occupy Lianyun City, causing chaos in the north of Qin Yin. That was why the Church's army could break through from the front and enter Qin Yin's territory.
In Dinicio's view, it was unwise for Salin's army to attack everywhere.
How could Dinicio know that Salin had the Twelve Movements of Purgatory in his hands? He could deploy a hundred thousand demons to any battlefield on the continent at any time. To Salin, as long as his hometown was fine, nothing mattered.
Salin was busy building Ceylon City, and Count Alphonso of Brilliant Sun City was worried to death.
The Magic Shooter suddenly announced that he was going to cultivate and didn't want to be disturbed for three years. This was obviously because he was afraid of Salin. Salin's territory had already expanded from Ceylon City to about a hundred miles away from Brilliant Sun City. Salin had killed his son, and he had destroyed Salin's family tomb. This hatred couldn't be resolved, and there was no need to resolve it.
Salin now wielded the power of an entire country. Count Alphonso felt as if a noose had been wrapped around his neck, and the noose refused to be tightened. Just like that, it hung around his neck, making him feel as if every day was a year.
Would Salin not be able to take down Brilliant Sun City? Even Alphonso himself didn't believe it. The Metatlin Kingdom had attacked Iron Wall City. There were nine Magic Towers in Iron Wall City, but they couldn't escape the fate of destruction. What did he have here? An eight-story Magic Tower was built outside the city. Now that the Magic Shooter was acting like a tortoise and not helping him, how could he defend the territory left by his ancestors?
If Salin came to attack, even if he sent metal flying machines to throw magic flame bombs, Alphonso would feel much more comfortable. Now that he was being watched from afar, Alphonso was about to go crazy.
The latest news was that Salin had started to deploy troops at the border. No one knew when he would attack. Helpless, Alphonso could only send someone to the capital to ask for help. Salin was a madman. If they really fought, his Brilliant Sun City would be completely destroyed.
He hoped that His Majesty could understand that if he kept retreating, Salin would grow stronger here sooner or later. When that happened, he wouldn't be able to clean up the mess.
Salin had only deployed troops at the border for two days, and Alphonso couldn't hold on anymore. He sent someone to ask for help. All of this fell into the surveillance magic array of the Magic Tower. Salin knew that his plan was working. He quickly refined weapons and repaired the dragon skeleton warship.
The ancient warship was given to Rex, and the bone warships in Salin's hands had all sunk. Only the dragon skeleton warship and the twelve high-speed escort warships were left. A dozen or so ships were enough to deal with the people of Scotia. The royal navy of Scotia had been destroyed, and the remaining warships were hiding in the small ports, not daring to come out.
The real worry was the Tanggulas Empire, or to be more precise, the Inquisition.
Salin would never have thought that Van Gogh would betray the Church after escaping, and the Inquisition wouldn't know the truth for now. No matter how angry the people of the Inquisition were, they wouldn't be able to connect it to him. The Inquisition still didn't know that he had obtained the divine puppet and the Spear of Order. When the priest in black and the head jailer returned to the Tanggulas Empire, they realized that something was wrong. Van Gogh had betrayed them. They hurriedly escaped and hid in the Cloud Flow Empire.
Due to a strange combination of factors, Salin was temporarily no longer a threat from the Inquisition. However, he was still desperately building the ports and setting up defenses. Salin was afraid that one day, the people of the Inquisition would come to Ceylon City and smash his hometown into pieces.
Salin sent the elemental creatures to the bottom of the sea. They dug the ports deep enough and expanded them more than ten times. As for the defenses on the shore, Salin set up a large number of magic cannons.
These magic cannons were imitations of the miniature magic cannons from the Second Dynasty. Salin didn't have the ability to replicate them, so he simply made them bulky and bulky. The cannon was more than fifteen meters long and three meters in diameter. The power of the energy beam it fired was less than half of the miniature magic cannons, and its firing speed was also slow. The only good thing was that the base of this thing was a large alchemy machine. It was driven by a magic furnace and could easily change direction.
This kind of huge coastal defense cannon was much more useful than the magic stone cannons. It could fire in a straight line within ten miles and seal off the entire sea. No large warship could easily approach Yulan Bay.
Only Salin would do such an extravagant thing. Most of the materials came from the underwater temple. Since Salin had no use for them, he simply made magic cannons.
Apart from setting up the coastal defense cannons, Salin also expanded Ceylon City. He expanded it to nine times its original size. The design of the city walls was similar to that of the Iron Wall City. What was different was that Salin had built a large number of metal towers between the layers of city walls.
These metal towers were designed to imitate the layout of the ancient warships. Salin decided to set up a magic net here.
Setting up a magic net was relatively easy. Salin had the blueprints in his hands. After the magic net surrounding Ceylon City was set up, Salin could quickly train a group of people who could cast high-level magic.
A large number of Mana Furnaces had been installed at the bottom to provide energy for the metal tower. As long as the people inside the metal tower had enough mental strength, they would be able to cast powerful offensive spells just by chanting incantations without the need for magic strings.
These people couldn't be considered mages. Salin had given them a unified name — spellcasters.
