[Second Update]
Before Nelis could give the order to attack, Tilan City had already sent a Primordial Warrior to contact him.
The Primordial Warrior brought two Dimension Stones, an Earth Elemental Badge, and a letter. Nelis calmed down after reading the letter. In Sarlin's letter, he requested Nelis to return to Sunrise City and destroy it as much as possible. Then, he would build a new fortress on the main road from Sunrise City to Tilan City. He would expand the original fortress and seal off the road out of Tilan City.
It turned out that when Scochenya's army arrived at Tilan City, the Scochenya Empire had gathered an army of nearly a million. Excluding the mercenaries tempted by the bounty, they were already on their way to Tilan City.
At the same time, the Holy See had sent out a fleet to seal off Yulan Bay. The Holy See's fleet had suddenly appeared and was very powerful. Sarlin could not destroy the enemy's fleet with just one Dragonbone Warship.
It was said that the Holy See had also sent many Divine Masters from the Rhine Duchy into Scochenya to reinforce Donnie. These Divine Masters and believers of the Holy See were currently heading towards Port Royal. Rex could not split his forces for the time being. At the very least, he had to leave the Primordial Warship there to fight against the allied forces of the Holy See and Scochenya.
Donnie had gone mad. In order to destroy Sarlin's Tilan City, he did not hesitate to let the Holy See's forces enter his territory.
It would be very difficult to let these Divine Masters leave Scochenya. These people would spread their faith and build churches along the way, becoming a cancer in Scochenya.
With the situation changing, Sarlin immediately made up his mind to destroy Sunrise City first so that the army attacking Tilan City would not have a base. Then, he would surround the hundreds of thousands of Scochenya soldiers and not let a single one escape. He had originally thought that the Church would focus on entering Qin Yin and temporarily ignore Scochenya's matter. But for some reason, the Church still mobilized a large number of people to support Donnie despite the tense situation at the frontlines.
Infiltrating Scochenya was a slow process. The most important thing now was to take over the land in the north of Qin Yin.
The two Dimension Stones were filled with building materials. The Earth Elemental Badge was given to Nelis by Sarlin to build a city. Sealing off the road into Tilan City was not as easy as building one or two castles. The terrain here was not as narrow as the road into Phoenix. To seal off the road, at least five miles of walls would have to be built.
Without the help of the Elemental Stone Soldiers, the Demon Legion would not be able to build such a huge fortification in a short period of time. Fortunately, Salin had a lot of finished building materials in the Dimensional Stone. Most of the metal facilities on the ground could be directly assembled together.
Salin did not send more troops to Neris. He knew that Neris could summon demons. Ever since the Demon City was built, Neris had obtained more coordinates to the Demonic Plane, and she had materials for summoning circles ready at any time.
Now, the northeastern part of Scotia had become a huge battlefield. Salin's Ciaran City had become the Vatican's target.
Neris led the Demon Army and quietly retreated. She did not take the army that attacked Ciaran City to heart. The enemy still treated Ciaran City as a small city and did not bring any suitable siege equipment. Although there were many Magic Shooters in the army, Salin had the Elemental Badge and Nicholas, so defending the city was not a problem. They could even use the 70,000 Demon Army to counterattack.
By not going out of the city to kill the enemy, Salin wanted to stall for time so that the large-scale army on the periphery could move according to the original speed and plan.
While Salin was dragging the battle in Ceylon City, Metatlin City —
Salin had saved the demons, and the citizens of Ciaran City were full of confidence in the king's abilities. Although trade had been interrupted, the entire city had regained its vitality.
Competitions in the arena had become the favorite activity of the citizens of Ciaran City. Now that the rules of the competition had been perfected, battles between professionals had appeared in the magic arena and were no longer bloody. What attracted the citizens to watch were the novel performances.
The Caucasians and Desolate Ancient Warriors had entered deep into the Northern Wastelands and captured a large number of magical beasts, filling the arena. Some magical beasts from the Demonic Plane were also sent in as targets for the professionals to kill.
Battles between humans were exciting, but hunting powerful magical beasts was even more exciting for the audience. These magical beasts came in all shapes and sizes, and every one of them had their own unique skills. There were too many ways to hunt magical beasts, and the professionals did not have to worry when fighting magical beasts. They were not afraid of being accused of being cruel, so the viewing value was greatly increased.
Because the Metatlin Kingdom was at war, a large number of craftsmen in Metatlin City had earned a decent income, enough to support their families. The nobles in the city had already reaped enough benefits from Phoenix. Even if there was no business income for the time being, they could still endure it.
Besides, Salin was still recruiting soldiers, and all the training could not be completed by themselves. Many of them worked with the nobles, and the nobles provided management talents to train low-level and middle-level officers in the army.
The current Metatlin Port had become a purely militarized port, and the same was true for the Demon City in the south. The two cities, which were more than seven hundred miles apart, were completely connected by water. The alchemy factory continuously produced warships and armed merchant ships. The business would recover sooner or later, and it could not be abandoned like this.
In the center of Metatlin City, inside Salin's temple, it was now the world of Seriger Island's mages and the Caucasians. Schica had subdued the Caucasians and became the true King of the Caucasians. Jason's mages, on the other hand, controlled the teleportation portal to the Demiplane, and defended the temple like an iron bucket.
Whether it was demons or humans, some of the younger and more talented ones were secretly sent to the Demiplane. In the Demiplane, there were now close to 100,000 people. These people gathered outside Rafael's Magic Tower and lived around the mountain.
With magic cores above level-10, Rafael's Magic Tower had also recovered most of its functions. The alchemy laboratory inside could refine some precious equipment for the Metatlin Kingdom, such as a high-level magic furnace.
In addition, the Magic Tower also had a defensive function. After the level-12 magic cores were embedded in the main magic array, a transparent protective shield surrounded the land around the forest. This magic shield could remove the dust formed by volcanic eruptions, and a shadow of a sun appeared above Rafael's Magic Tower.
This shadow of the sun could provide sunlight for the people here to grow food. Compared to the income from food, the consumption of magic cores was negligible. The food production of the Demiplane was terrifying, which was why Jason reminded Salin.
Other than high-level professionals, people above level-13, ordinary people always had to eat. Without food, it was meaningless no matter how many soldiers you had.
Metatlin City was very stable, and Schica only took care of the two children with Eleanor every day. Their days were quite leisurely. The three duchesses began to take charge of state affairs, and only the most important things were decided by Schica.
In fact, this was equivalent to establishing the House of Nobles.
Schica originally had no intention of power. With Jason around, no one could play any tricks. Zola's injuries slowly improved, and he no longer needed anyone to protect him. There were pitifully few things in the temple.
On this day, in the evening, Schica and Eleanor took the two children for a walk at the port. The two children's bloodline ability had gradually shown itself. They could both speak, and the language was relatively fluent. It was just that the two children liked to speak in Gumerian, and when they muttered, many Caucasian people couldn't understand them.
The Caucasian guards still loyally followed their king and protected the two little ones.
There were still ships coming and going at the dock. The trained demons of the Demon City would be sent to Metatlin City regularly and handed over to the Temple Legion for further training. The trained demons were easier to get along with than the demons that were summoned directly, and they learned languages extremely quickly. Schica's two children led the divine beasts and stood on the dock, looking at the demons walking down from the battleship and pointing at them.
The two children spoke extremely quickly, and the Caucasian warriors behind them couldn't understand them. They could only accompany them in a daze.
Schica and Eleanor sat on the steps. Eleanor said to Schica, "Schica, don't you miss Salin?"
"Why wouldn't I miss him?"
"Then why don't you go to Ceylon City? I heard that the situation there is quite tense. Rex is also at Port Royal, and he can't split his troops."
"Eleanor, you're the one who wants to go to Ceylon City, right?" Schica said straightforwardly.
Eleanor blushed, "I still can't advance to rank 9. I was too lazy in the past, and I can't help Salin much now."
"Taking care of the two of them is helping Salin." Schica pointed at his two children. They liked Eleanor very much, which wasn't strange. The temperament of an elf could easily attract children.
Schica's daughter took out a small boomerang from her pocket and threw it out. Her brother let go of the divine beast's necklace, and the divine beast rushed out like lightning. It leaped into the air and bit the boomerang. Then, with a flattering look, it ran back to the girl and handed the boomerang to Schica's daughter.
The divine beast of Goddess Myers had been raised by Salin's two children like a dog.
If this divine beast grew up after tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years, and recalled its current experience, who knew how it would feel.
The body of this divine beast was not even the size of a cat, and its true growth was extremely long. Leaving the central shrine of the goddess, without a suitable living environment, the growth of this divine beast would be obstructed.
"Why haven't you named them yet?" Eleanor asked doubtfully.
"It's a Caucasian tradition. Salin and I have talked about it before. Before the age of two, they can't be named."
Eleanor nodded. The elves also had a similar tradition. Only when a child had matured for a thousand elven days would they be given an official name.
