"First update, fourth update today."
"Salin, I don't want to be separated from you again." Sicar's tone was a little weak.
"What's wrong?" Salin looked at Sicar in surprise.
"You don't know? The children miss you too. "Sicar sighed.
"This..." Salin had no choice. He couldn't bring the two children with him when he went on an adventure. No matter how talented the two children were, it was too early to participate in an adventure.
"Can't Nelis's 12 Movements of Purgatory carry demons?"
Salin was shocked. He grabbed Sicar and said, "Demons aren't human. We can't let them in!"
"It's not like we're entering the Demon Purgatory. Can't we open another space? I want to go to the Abyss King City with you! "
Si Ka's request surprised Salin. He thought about it carefully. Salin was also a woman. He shouldn't have left her in Metatlin to manage his affairs. But the trouble now was that the two children could not be risked. Salin also didn't want Sicar to be separated from the children.
Not to mention Sicar, Salin himself didn't want to leave the children alone. But now he couldn't separate himself from the things he had to do and couldn't stay in Metatlin.
"Not this time. I won't go to the Abyss King City only once. Sicar, the children are still too young. That 12 Movements of Purgatory... definitely not."
The two of them ate and drank without much taste. They removed their things and lay on the bed. Sicar looked at the ceiling and said softly, "Salin, I miss the past. Back then, I didn't know anything. We were in the mountains and fought whenever we saw a magical beast. We only had food when we killed it. Even a level-three or level-four magical beast could chase us everywhere. "
"Yes." Salin was also very emotional. "Back then, even a level-one magic core was a treasure. I couldn't bear to use it.
"Now you're rich. You left us at home and went out to explore. Is it like what the bards said? You became a king, a hero... "
"What nonsense, Sicar? I'm thinking of a way."
"Salin, I won't give you any trouble. I'm stronger than you now. You can't beat me." Shika rubbed Salin's hair. This time, his strength was as light as a breeze.
"Sicar, I know that you've been protecting me." Salin said seriously. He continued, "I'm really thinking of a way to solve the problem of the child. The continent is getting more and more chaotic. I don't feel safe even if I stay in Metatlin City. If we send him to the Demiplane, he'll be even further away from us, so it's not appropriate. "
The two of them chatted for half the night before falling into a deep sleep.
Salin had not slept well recently. Most of the nights, he spent them in meditation. With Si Ka by his side, he really felt safe and at ease. He didn't have to think too much. The situation of the continent was thrown far away.
The next morning, Salin and Shika met the deputy general of Guderian City. This deputy general was also a trusted aide of the Glücos royal family. Compared to Shika, Salin's arrival was more awkward for him.
Fortunately, the general was injured, and he was only the deputy general. Talking to Salin would not cause the prince any displeasure. Moreover, the army of the Church had not retreated yet. Salin's arrival would only be good for him.
Because they met in the dining hall, the atmosphere was relatively harmonious. Salin did not hide anything. He said to the deputy general, "General, I have to leave with Sicar. But don't be anxious. The army of the Church will retreat soon. I'll leave you two hundred thousand Alchemy Arrows and two hundred Alchemy Crossbows. Also, I'll leave you a hundred scrolls to express my apology. "
The deputy general had been very discouraged when he heard that Salin was leaving. Hearing that so much powerful equipment was left behind, his worries turned to joy. His city didn't lack manpower, and he didn't even lack equipment. What he lacked was support. Salin had left so much valuable equipment behind. He definitely did not want to give up Guderian City.
This was somewhat ironic. The existence of Guderian City was to defend against Phoenix. But now that the Holy Rock City Council could not help him, he had no choice but to seek help from the king of Metatlin.
As expected, after Salin finished speaking, he continued, "The Metatlin Kingdom will continue to support you. Right now, there are about 50,000 elites on the way. After I return to Metatlin City, I will send people to deliver two more magic cannons. Defending the city shouldn't be a problem. Also, Duke Guya will help you. I'll pass by Guya City on my way back. Inform her people. If it's really dangerous, you can retreat there with your men. "
Salin had done his best. The deputy general of Guderian City was grateful and thanked Salin.
Salin added, "Send some people to me later. I want to see the various camps in Guderian City. Metatlin may not have much, but it has always been well-equipped. You know that I have the best alchemists with me. See for yourself what you need, and I will specially allocate some to your army. "
The deputy general stood up to thank Salin again. Salin thought to himself, Guderian City is full of Qin Yin's elite troops. This time, he had done everything he could. If Holy Rock City was destroyed, he would be able to subdue it.
Just as he was thinking this, he heard the deputy general say, "Your Highness, there's one more thing I need to ask of you."
"Speak."
There are more than three hundred thousand troops in Guderian City, but since the war in the north, the families of these troops have mostly withdrawn to the city. I hope to let them enter Phoenix … "
Salin's heart moved. "That's not good, is it?"
"Your Highness, I'm a soldier. Dying in battle is an honor, but I have to protect the families of these soldiers. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for me to defend this place. If there are no worries, even if I let the soldiers die, I will not let them down. "
Salin looked at the people eating with him in the dining hall. All of them looked like veteran officers. Thinking of the deputy general's awkward expression at the beginning, Salin had some confidence. He wanted to take it slow, but the deputy general couldn't wait anymore. Indeed, Guderian City was the northernmost city of Qin Yin. The army of the Vatican occupied half of the north, completely cutting off communication between Guderian City and Holy Rock City.
In name, the deputy general was sending his family there to seek refuge, but in reality, he was planning for the future of Guderian City.
In a normal war, without the help of a level-ten expert, it would be too difficult to break into Guderian City. Salin had also briefly looked around the city. It was a standard large city of Qin Yin, with tall metal watchtowers, well-distributed Magical Towers, and sufficient military supplies. It could even support a million troops.
As for whether Guderian City had plans to invade Phoenix, Salin was not worried. In the future war, there would be no experts holding down the fort. Everything would be meaningless.
Had it not been for Ebola, Guderian City would have been done for.
"I have to discuss this with Duke Guya. After all, once we enter Phoenix, it will be her territory. It will be inconvenient for me to force so many people in. "
"Your Highness, you are right. If that's the case, I will first invite Your Highness to visit the camps in the city. "
The deputy general also knew that Salin wanted to review the troops to win over the hearts of the people. For the sake of the soldiers' families, he could only bear with it. After all, if he had no other choice, he would consider merging with the Metatlin Kingdom. After all, he was Rex's man, and he might become Prince Qin Yin in the future.
As for Guderian City, Salin did not necessarily have to get it now. He had a good discussion with Rex. Even if the Vatican took over Guderian City, he would at most take in these troops. As long as Holy Rock City was not conquered, Salin would not officially enter Qin Yin.
After that, it was just a formality. Wearing the Demon God suit, Salin inspected the various camps in Guderian City, and then returned to the mayor's residence. The garden behind the mayor's residence was occupied by a big guy. It was the heavily injured Metal Titan. The big guy sprawled on the ground lazily. There was no telling how much ore it had stored in its stomach. In the mines north of Metatlin, the Metal Titan had eaten enough food for it to digest for more than ten years.
Therefore, even if it was heavily injured, it could recover by resting and did not need any treatment. Humans also had no way to treat it. At least, the Holy Church did not understand the survival principle of the Metal Titan.
Sicar accompanied Salin. Salin pointed at the Metal Titan and said, "Rex won't be heartbroken by this thing, right?"
"It's fine. Its skin is thick, and the Holy Spell of the Holy Church can't do anything to it. We can only rely on the repeated attacks of the large equipment. More than a dozen Sword Saints were killed by it."
"This is the Metal Titan? It's so beautiful! "Garin seemed to not remember what happened last night. She walked up and touched the Metal Titan with her hands. The Metal Titan's body was cold, and the magic patterns on it were naturally formed. To a mage, it was not an exaggeration to describe it as extremely beautiful.
Sicar was confused. If he were her, he would have beaten this Garin up and vented his anger from yesterday.
"Garin, do you like this thing?" Salin asked with a smile.
"I like it very much," Garin replied softly with an expectant tone.
"It's Rex's. Garin, please do me a favor. Give it to Rex, and then come to Metatlin City to find me, "Salin said naturally.
"Sure!" Garin did not mind. She really liked the Metal Titan. Such a huge life form had nothing to do with the six elements. For mages, this was something that was very worthy of research.
Only by giving it to Rex would she have a chance to study it along the way.
"Then I'll wait for you in Metatlin City. Let's go." Salin pulled Sicar, and Sicar did not say anything.
Garin put the Metal Titan into her spatial equipment. Salin observed carefully this time. Garin's spatial equipment was a pendant on her ear. The pendant was emerald green, and there was a face carved on its surface. It looked like her mask.
Although Garin was smart, she did not guess Salin's intentions this time. Without the burden of the guards, the group set off from Guderian City. After entering Phoenix, they crossed the entire city before splitting up and going their separate ways.
After Garin left, Sicar grumbled, "Salin, the mines in the north still need the Metal Titan."
Salin laughed. "If I don't send her away, how can I go to the Abyss King City?"
