Zola hadn't recovered to his peak, so Scica refused to go with him and brought Eleanor instead.
The Temple Army went first, while the main force set off with Duke Guya's soldiers. Guya obviously had to participate in such a thing. This also showed her loyalty to the Metatlin Kingdom and could train her troops at the same time. The other two duchesses also sent 10,000 troops each and handed them over to Scica's generals.
Salin sent two items. One was a magic staff used by Necromancers with a blood-colored Soul Pagoda embedded in it. This was for Daniel. With this equipment, it would be much easier for Daniel to advance after collecting the souls of the Vatican's soldiers.
Salin also sent the Wind Elemental Badge over and had Scica leave six Gale Dragon Weapons behind before sending them back. Elemental creatures weren't as strong as Primordial Warriors, but the Gale Dragon Weapon could fly very well. It would be good for escaping in case of an accident.
The Mages in the Temple also joined in the frantic process of crafting equipment. Shika would not bring too many Mages with her this time. She brought twelve Desolate Warriors with her, six Magic Shooters, Eleanor, and Daniel. This was all the high-end combat power she had. There were still a dozen Sword Saints in the army, but they couldn't help her much.
So the equipment Jason and the others made was very targeted.
Two days later, Scica arrived at the Metal Titan. The Metal Titan was now more than 80 meters tall and seemed to have shrunk. Its body was covered in silver magic patterns, and its eyes were pitch-black like two deep holes.
The Metal Titan went around the city and directly came to the outskirts of West Town. There was a huge chariot here. The chariot was more than 20 meters long and had a huge magic cannon mounted on it.
The chariot was given to Guderian City as a fee for sending troops. This magic cannon was very difficult to make, but the cost of materials wasn't too high. The entire set of magic cannons had a short lifespan. Of course, this was intentional by Jason and the others.
Each of the large magic cannons used by Salin and the others could fire at least ten thousand times. However, the magic cannons given to Guderian City would need to be repaired by the mages of Metatlin City after around five hundred shots before they could be used again. Also, this magic cannon didn't have a magic furnace. It needed a magic array to drive the alchemy machinery.
Even so, the enormous magic cannon was enough to tempt the generals of Guderian City. With this thing, at least the defensive pressure on one side of the city wall would be reduced to a minimum.
The Metal Titan pulled the huge chariot and dragged the magic cannons as it charged forward. Shika summoned her White Bone Magic Beast and led several hundred Gaugass Warriors to Duke Guya's city, Guya City.
The Gaugass Warriors were riding Elven Wings, and the number of metal aircrafts was still small. It would take at least a week to gather two hundred. Daniel sat on the back of the Gale Dragon, feeling a little awkward. He was only Level 7, and his flying ability was too ordinary. Although the summoned creature could fly, it still consumed energy.
Eleanor was also riding on Elven Wings, but her equipment was personally refined, and its speed and defense were a lot better than those of the Gaugass Warriors. The blueprint that Eirinn had given Salin had been modified. The real Fairy Wings could only be activated by someone with elven bloodline.
The remaining six High Mages were all riding Elven Wings. Everyone was already familiar with this kind of equipment. It was used to conserve stamina and magic strings.
Hundreds of people flew at high speed through the air and quickly entered Phoenix. After resting for a night in Martian City, Shika took off with her soldiers again, heading for Guya City.
Shika had arrived first, and the Temple Army had arrived as well. However, the other armies were still around Martian City and couldn't be as fast.
This city was managed by Duke Guya's uncle. Shika's arrival excited the man who was conferred the title of Count by Salin. If it wasn't for the fact that Shika flew directly into the city, he would have held a grand ceremony.
All the nobles in the Metatlin Kingdom knew Shika's temper. As long as you didn't flatter her openly, Shika wouldn't be angry or look down on you.
However, Shika was eager for revenge. Her target, the Inquisition's army, was more than four hundred miles south of Guderian City. Ordinary troops wouldn't be able to reach it in a day. Only a full Magic Legion, cavalry, and infantry could get close quickly.
The situation in the north of Qinyin changed every day. Shika was afraid that this army would be transferred to the south, and it would be inconvenient for her to go deep into Qinyin.
But there was no point in being anxious. Three days later, the army of the dukes arrived first. These troops had set out early, and the distance between them was short. The Metal Titan's speed couldn't keep up. The tireless Metal Titan, under the urging of the High Mage, took a week longer than Sicar to cross Phoenix and reach the quaint city.
In Guya City, the people of Guderian City had been waiting anxiously. Rex's letter had arrived early, and Guderian City had sent out spies to monitor the Vatican's army.
Shika's target was an army of more than two hundred thousand people stationed four hundred miles away. Their target was a medium-sized city in the north, which was the territory of a Marquis. The Marquis had accepted Alchemy City's conditions. At this time, other than the original two Magic Shooters, Alchemy City had sent four more to help defend the city. Plus, the city was built sturdily, so it hadn't been attacked yet.
The army of the Inquisition was also worried that Guderian City would send reinforcements from behind, so they had been waiting for reinforcements from the Vatican. They hoped that they could gather three hundred thousand people and set up a defensive position behind them before they dared to attack the city.
The Vatican had entered the north too quickly, and their forces were scattered. They hadn't gathered enough troops in a short time.
The general of Guderian City was afraid that the army of the Inquisition would leave the battlefield. If this army broke through the city or moved elsewhere, it would be difficult to defeat them again. It was already somewhat unreasonable for Metatlin's army to be four hundred miles away from Qinyin. After all, the two sides didn't have an alliance, and the general knew Prince Sephiroth's temper.
After losing Phoenix, Sephiroth was so angry that he personally led his army and killed a ten thousand army of the Vatican. Only then did he vent his anger.
The Metal Titans arrived, pulling huge chariots with heavy magic cannons on them. Without the Metal Titans, it would have taken thousands of people to pull the thirty-meter-long cannons.
The distance between the two cities was very close. It only took two hours to cross the valley.
Shika's army followed behind and entered Guderian City. It wasn't the first time she came to Guderian City. Shika also sighed. Back then, she didn't know anything and just ran around with Salin. When she passed by here, she was still an ordinary Caucasian warrior.
Now, she was the regent of a country with a population of twenty million, and she had more than a hundred thousand Caucasian warriors.
The general of Guderian City, Sauron, was also newly appointed. He had a close blood relationship with the royal family. He was originally stationed in the south. When the war in the north deteriorated, he was given the order. Prince Sephiroth wanted him to defend Guderian City no matter what price he had to pay.
He was Sephiroth's trusted follower, but he also had a good impression of Rex. It was because of this background that Sephiroth sent him here. The prince also didn't want to start a war with the Metatlin Kingdom.
Sauron had connections with Daliang City. He was still in the south back then. The prince wasn't a fool. Knowing this relationship, he asked Salin to consider it. Once Guderian City was in danger, the Metatlin Kingdom would definitely send reinforcements.
The Elven Wings wasn't a large piece of equipment and could be kept in a purple-gold pouch. When folded, this equipment was only a few cubic meters in size, which was just enough for a normal purple-gold pouch. Shika didn't fly into the city openly. Instead, she changed into a skeleton warhorse and led the army into the city in batches.
Sauron had Rex's handwritten letter, so he didn't think Shika would be able to take over the city.
Shika was very straightforward. He talked and laughed with Sauron while watching the mages do the last magic buffs on the hastily built cannons. Sauron realized that the regent of the Metatlin Kingdom wasn't a brainless person. Shika's speech was very appropriate, and he had a temperament that made Sauron admire him.
He was also someone who was about to become a Gold Sword Saint, so he naturally understood that this feeling was based on Shika's powerful strength.
This kind of person definitely didn't rely on beauty to get to his position. Unconsciously, Sauron started to respect Shika. Rex's letter made it very clear why Shika was doing this. Sauron had three children himself, so he understood how parents felt.
"Your Highness, how about … we go to the general's house and prepare?" Sauron suggested.
"Your Highness, there's no rush. We still need at least two days to prepare before we can send out our troops. Let's see the power of this magic cannon first, so you can rest assured, "Shika replied politely. She was used to being called Your Highness.
"Prepare for two days? My army has already been prepared. We can set out in a day at most. At least, we have to keep the enemy busy and not let them retreat. "Sauron's words left a good impression on Shika. He wanted to use his own army to create an opportunity for Shika to fight the final battle.
This was because the magic cannon was too valuable. With this magic cannon, the entire southern wall of Guderian City could not be approached by large-scale siege weapons. The range of the magic cannon was far greater than that of a catapult.
"General, you don't know this, but this army is from the Inquisition. Not only are they strong, but they also have the ability of many mages. As long as the soldiers don't die, they can continue to fight. I know there are many mages in Qin Yin. The number of low-level mages in your army even exceeds the number of my army. However, the best way to deal with them is to use poison. I brought a lot of poison for you. You can smear it directly on your weapons, and it will seep in in two days. "
Sauron thought for a while and nodded in agreement. He didn't want his army to suffer too many losses, but since he accepted the magic cannon, he had to show some appreciation.
