[First Update]
Complete annihilation?
After listening to Shika's words, Soran felt that it was risky for him to accept the magic cannon. Defeating an army and annihilating an army were two completely different concepts. The cost was also very different.
"Don't worry. Do you see that big guy?" Sicar pointed at the metal titan.
Solon nodded. He envied this thing for being able to transport such a huge amount of equipment.
"This isn't just for pulling carts. It's a metal titan that can destroy enemy heavy equipment."
Although Sauron was a Warrior, he still had some impression of the Metal Titans. This was because Qin Yin had created the War Puppets because humans had once used the Metal Titans in battle. The flaw of metal titans was that they could not transform, unlike mechanical undead. If mechanical undead were here, they could become mobile turrets and run around with huge magic cannons.
"Don't worry, General. I've brought enough poison and enough warriors. The metal flying device will arrive in two days." Sicar comforted Solon. The cost of annihilating the enemy was not small, but he had brought enough field equipment this time. The role of the soldiers was to encircle and annihilate the defeated.
Solon's spirit was lifted when he heard about the metal flying device. This thing had shown its cruel power in the battle against Iron Wall City. He asked cautiously, "Your Highness, can you sell the metal flying device to me? You can make a magic self-destruct device without the blueprints. If I were to study it, I would destroy it completely. "
Sicar smiled and said to Solon, "General, this thing is not something you can use, unless …"
"Unless what?"
"Unless you can suppress the enemy's Magic Shooters, or even those in the magic towers."
Solon was speechless. This requirement was really high. Everyone knew that Salin attacked Iron Wall City and destroyed it, but no one knew the details of the battle. From Sicar's words, Solon could analyze that Salin's army first suppressed the nine magic towers in Iron Wall City before using the metal flying device to attack.
If they had this kind of power, even without the metal flying device, they could still take down Iron Wall City. The difference was that Salin's method turned Iron Wall City into ashes without paying a huge price for himself.
"Also, General, the metal flying device's survivability is not as good as you think. Moreover, once this thing is damaged, it can only be recycled as metal. "
"Your Highness, I'm too …"
"It's not wishful thinking. If this thing didn't have so many flaws, with Qin Yin's national strength, he could also develop it."
Shika was telling the truth. There were so many mages in Qin Yin, and many of them were proficient in alchemy. It was not difficult to develop similar equipment. But what was the use of researching it?
Even a sixth-level Great Magician could easily deal with this flying machine. How many sixth-level Magicians did Qin Yin have? Every major city had one, and there was more than one.
In Ceylon City, the Skokenya's attack was fierce, but there were not many casualties on both sides. Salin had a sturdy city wall to rely on, and countless metal towers could shoot arrows as if they were free.
On the other hand, the Skokenya's main attacking force was some low-level puppets. This was something Salin did not expect. Skokinya lacked Mages, but this kind of low-level puppet did not require strong Alchemy to create. Most of the puppet's parts could be made by ordinary craftsmen, and the Mages could create the core.
The purpose of these low-level puppets was to block arrows for the soldiers. The Skokenya did not attack the city gate, nor did they climb the city wall. Instead, they tried to transport the temporarily assembled large equipment near the city wall, wanting to use the heavy weapons to destroy a part of the city wall.
Salin didn't expect the enemy to have such a large equipment, but he didn't mind it. He sent six Elemental Golem Soldiers to carry a large magic cannon from the port and fired three shots at the Skochinyan's catapults.
The Magic Shooters accompanying the army could not defend, and could only watch as the catapult was destroyed. Salin did not use the magic cannon to bombard the enemy army. The Skokenya Magic Shooters saw that Salin had stopped, and were a little confused, but they did not dare to attack the terrifying large weapon.
The battle became dull. The small catapult threw stones at the city wall, and Salin had the level-nine Elemental Stone Soldiers stand guard at the top of the city wall. The flying stones were shattered by the Stone Soldiers. How could ordinary stones fly near the Elemental Stone Soldiers?
Seeing that there was nothing to worry about, Salin turned around and returned to the Elemental Magic Tower in the city. He took out the map of the continent, released a magic image, and fell into deep thought.
On the map, there were many points marked.
There were Metatlin City, Lianyun City, Alchemy City, Dragon Island, Holy Rock City, Kushui Prefecture, Great Liang City, Three Links City, Purgatory Desert, Holy City, Tanggulas Imperial City, Glory City, Ceylon City, Skokenya Imperial City, Port Royal, Didips, Chaos Swamp, Lone Star City …
After circling the entire map, Salin's gaze stopped at Great Liang City.
Great Liang City was one of the weaker links among his many cities, and only had two secret paths between the mountains that led to Kushui Prefecture. This place was not easy to defend, with the plains to the north and the sea to the south. Whether it was the plains or the sea, they were all easily attacked, and Three Links City to the west was a little far.
Why did the Holy Church not attack Great Liang City?
If the Holy Church was worried about revenge, then they would not be stupid enough to touch their own children. The lesson of Iron Wall City had only made the Holy Church stop for less than a month. What happened to the Holy Church in this month? Or, what kind of change had happened to the Holy Church's power that they did not care about such an attack?
Keeping Great Liang City would always be a threat to the flank of the Holy Church's army. The Holy Church should not ignore this position.
No matter how Salin calculated, he could not figure out the crux of the matter. With no other choice, he opened a transmission spell formation and contacted Rex in Port Royal.
Salin voiced out his worries. Rex had obviously considered the entire problem. She said to Salin, "We can have many fortuitous encounters, and obtain a large amount of wealth that others would never be able to obtain in their lifetime. The Holy Church can do it too. You can't guess, and neither can I. What caused the Holy Church to suddenly regain their unyielding attitude.
"Then Rex, what do you plan to do?" Salin was at a loss again.
"Great Liang City's location is important, and its defense is lacking. I think you should go to my hometown, the Golden Plains. They call it the Glücos Basin."
"Invite the Glücos Family to garrison Great Liang City?" Salin asked in surprise. He possessed the Seal of the Six-Winged Flying Snake, and could indeed mobilize the core strength of the Glücos Family. Although the flames of war were burning fiercely on the main road, the Glücos Family had not wavered at all.
Sacred Rock City was only a part of the Glücos Family. The true wealth of the Glücos Family was concentrated in the Golden Plains. That huge basin was the core strength of the Glücos Family, and it was also where the most wealth was concentrated.
It was said that the power there far exceeded that of Sacred Rock City. If Charnak had not chosen to become the Emperor, he would have had the right to enter the core circle of the family.
"Then, will Great Liang City become another Sacred Rock City?" Salin continued to ask. Although Sacred Rock City was independent, and the Glücos Family would not interfere with the thoughts and actions of the Emperors, every time something happened in Sacred Rock City, they would still request the family to step in and deal with it. The Golden Plains was, in fact, above Sacred Rock City.
"Don't worry. With the Seal of the Six-Winged Flying Snake in your hands, you will have a portion of the power of the Glücos Family. In fact, my father is … too arrogant. Otherwise, he could have borrowed the power of the family, and he wouldn't have … "
Rex could not continue. The Seal of the Six-Winged Flying Snake was given to her by her father. If her father had used it himself, he would not have been schemed against by the Holy Church. One must know that on the Golden Plains, there were at least ten people more powerful than her father. Any two of them, and with her father's power, the Holy Church's plan would be completely ruined.
"I understand." Salin was slightly relieved. If the people on the Golden Plains were to guard Great Liang City, then he would not have to worry. The biggest problem of Great Liang City was the lack of high-end power. It would be fine if he and Rex were here, but now there was only a Golden Sword Sage and two Level Nine Magic Shooters. Salin was really uncertain.
Rex sighed and said, "Salin, I should have gone with you, but Scotia needs at least one person to hold the fort. I'll get the Winged Skeleton to help you guard Ceylon City. You take Nelis to the Golden Plains. "
"Now?"
"Now. If we lose Great Liang City, it will be too embarrassing for both of us. Also, Kushui Prefecture will become dangerous. "
"Alright, once the Winged Skeleton arrives, I will set off. But Ceylon City …"
Rex was also confused. She just remembered that Salin did not have enough military power. It was all supported by Nelis's Evil Demon Army alone. So Rex said, "Go all out and try to destroy Scotia's power. Then let Nelis be stationed there. I will send someone to help her. You take the Winged Skeleton to the Golden Plains and ask for the family's help to defend Great Liang City. "
"Is there any taboo on the Golden Plains?"
"Not really. But let me remind you, if the family wants to take back the Seal of the Six-Winged Flying Snake, you have to agree to it. But … there must be enough favorable conditions."
Salin was stunned. He did not expect Rex to ask him to return the Seal of the Six-Winged Flying Snake. With this, he could ask for the power of the Glücos Family at any time. What kind of price would be equal to it?
Rex could not see Salin's expression from the transmission magic formation, but she could guess. Rex said to Salin, "Salin, the Seal of the Six-Winged Flying Snake is a powerful piece of equipment of the Glücos Family. If the family wants it back, you can name a price. As long as it is not too outrageous, the family will accept it.
