[The third chapter, this is only Chapter 529, sigh …]
Salin made up his mind. Rex was in charge of Daliang City. He had plenty of time to deal with Jia Lin in the future. Ebola definitely didn't instruct Jia Lin to do this. It didn't conform to the principles of the contract. But Ebola knew Jia Lin's personality very well. He definitely knew that Jia Lin would bring him trouble.
From this point, Salin was disgusted by Ebola. Since he wanted to support Rex and control the situation, how could there be so many good things in the world that belonged to the Golden Plains?
But he couldn't replace Rex. After all, this was Daliang City.
Salin let go of his disgust. After comforting Gu Xin, he asked, "Su … Does he communicate with the outside world?"
"He asks for food every other week."
"Forget it. Let him be." Salin thought that Su wanted to break through to level-10. But advancing to a Sword Saint was harder than advancing to a Magician. Level-10 wasn't that easy. A Sword Saint's understanding of the soul was far inferior to a Magician's.
"Gu Xin, let's talk about the matters outside the city. Have you organized attacks outside the city?"
"Yes. Even after Master Jia Lin came, we didn't stop. But our attacks are irregular, and the enemy can't grasp them." As Gu Xin spoke, he described the battle between the two sides to Sarlin. Sarlin listened very carefully. He had asked Gu Xin to describe these relatively low-level battles.
Mercenaries were used to writing diaries. The Dragon Slayer Mercenary Corp could avoid battles, but Gu Xin's subordinate army couldn't. Everyone had to take turns to carry out missions. Battles outside the city were extremely dangerous. Every mercenary had to record the battles and summarize them when they returned to the Dragon Slayer Mercenary Corp.
This was a mercenary's habit. A real mercenary corp had to be honed on the battlefield and tempered repeatedly.
Troops that went out of the city to attack were usually one or two flag regiments. They didn't need support soldiers. The enemy's camp was stationed five miles away. They didn't dare to get too close.
One or two thousand people were too small for the entire battle, but they couldn't hide from the enemy's eyes. Therefore, such attacks had to be spread out. Every time, there would be help from Magicians.
Usually, a troop of a thousand people would be divided into five companies and spread out to attack the enemy camp or sentry posts. The Tanggulas people would also send scouts, but most of the time, they were Blood Knights.
The most important objective of leaving the city was to clean up these blood esquires.
As Salin listened to Gu Xin's description of the fierce battle, he quickly calculated in his mind. He discovered that the ratio of the enemy's forces to the blood esquires was a little strange. The number of blood esquires never decreased, but the enemy's casualty rate was quite high. The Tanggulas people could accept defeat, but once a battle broke out, they would definitely snatch the corpses back.
The Qinyin warriors didn't even have the time to cut off the enemy's head. Every time they engaged in battle, they would come into contact with each other quickly.
The density of blood esquires outside the city hadn't changed, and the ambushing army hadn't suffered great losses. However, it was difficult for them to get close to the enemy camp. Moreover, the Mages among the enemy did not attack at all. The Cloud Flow people's army was only in the south.
"Any news about the Castle of Bones?"
"It was destroyed. The Cloud Stream people are building the dock!" Gu Xin replied. This was what he had heard from Jia Lin.
Salin smiled. Yun Liuren and the Vatican were really not cooperating. However, this was also in line with Yun Liu's personality. He was blatantly petty. Build a dock? They wanted to use the warships to force the Vatican to admit the Cloud Stream people's interests here?
He was really unnecessary. If he had known this would happen, he would've let Great Liang City defend to the death. Sending some demons over to help, it would definitely be defended. It wouldn't be long before the dock was built, and the conflict between the Cloud Stream people and the Vatican would erupt.
His first step was right. It seemed that the most important thing in the future was to clean up the enemies in the mountains, so that the Vatican couldn't quickly open up the passage to Kushui Prefecture.
Great Liang City was important because it was an important place that restrained many parties. However, to Salin, Kushui Prefecture was more important.
As long as Kushui Prefecture was not lost, Rex's real territory would be very safe. It was an enclosed territory in the hinterland of Qin Yin. Although the northern battlefield was busy, no one could enter Kushui Prefecture's jurisdiction.
There was only one way north of Kushui Prefecture, and only one way east. There was a secret passage to Great Liang City in the west, and the real mountains in the south. The army couldn't pass through at all.
If they wanted to attack Kushui Prefecture from the east, they had to take down Holy Rock City first. Although the Vatican's army was fierce, they didn't dare to enter within a thousand miles of Holy Rock City. They had to digest the entire northern territory, and even get rid of Phoenix, before the Vatican could have the confidence to attack Holy Rock City. That would be the last battle.
Gusin left happily under Salin's comfort. He now knew that there weren't many safe places on the continent, and Metatlin City was one of them. The families of his brothers were all there, and they were well taken care of. What else could he do? He just had to fight for his master.
"Master, you don't seem to be worried about Jialin?" Eileen wouldn't call Salin's name when Shika was beside her. She asked, but it was a little strange. Salin was never one to lose out on details like this. Even if Jialin didn't fight back directly, he would think of ways to deal with her in the dark.
However, Salin's current intention was to withdraw the last of his forces in Great Liang City, and let the Golden Plains' mages take over.
"At most, let them fight in, and we'll just leave. But Ebola had promised me that he would help me defend Great Liang City. If the territory is lost to her people, we'll have to use her people to take it back. "
"But Master, that …"
"The Temple, the Temple is the key. Shika, do you remember the first Temple we entered? "
"Yes, what about it?"
"At that time, I didn't have the ability to enter, if not for that ring. I think this kind of ring has been circulating on the continent for a long time, and there are as many as 24 of them. Back then, the Pink Bandits … "
Salin glanced at Eileen. Eileen showed a sad expression, but not too much pain.
"Back then, the Pink Bandits controlled a Temple because they had the Ring of Grace. Everyone who entered the Divine Temple obtained different powers or wealth. Everyone's fate will follow the path laid out by Myer. Some people deviated, and their luck turned bad, and they lost everything in the end. But I'm still moving forward. "
When Salin said this, Shika sensed something sinister.
The Ring of Grace wouldn't choose people, but if you chose the Ring of Grace and received the power that the Goddess left for you, you had to work for the Goddess.
If Salin hadn't gone to the core Temple, his fate would have been even worse. Ever since he went to the core Temple in the Purgatory Desert and signed the contract, whether it was his wealth, personal strength, or national strength, they all increased rapidly.
If Salin hadn't practiced astrology and was very sensitive to fate, he wouldn't have even thought of this possibility.
Eileen's original man, that Marquis, sounded like a great person. That guy's power also came from the Temple, right? What happened to him in the end? He was struck by lightning.
Rex's fate wasn't good either, until he went to the central Temple with him and signed the contract.
Astrologers had a famous saying: fate can bring you power, but it can also become shackles.
If you help the Goddess resurrect, then the Goddess will give you power. Otherwise, the Goddess will give you bad luck. Salin thought of the 24 magic diagrams he had obtained, but he hadn't taken them seriously!
That was the real wealth he had obtained, right?
"Salin, what do you plan to do?" Although Shika had a good impression of Myer, after hearing Salin's words, he also felt a sense of fear. After the Goddess appeared, didn't the Caucasian people decline? Many Caucasian priests went to worship the Goddess. Of course, this kind of saying only spread in the village and never appeared outside.
"What do I do?" Salin hesitated for a moment. Of course, he would collect all the wealth in the Temple. From the souls in the Graveyard of Heroes, he had learned that Myer used to be a Mage. The things left behind in the Temple had nothing to do with divine spells. Clearly, Myer had predicted the decline of the Druidic Order.
If he wanted to resurrect her, he would need the help of a Mage.
Myer had left behind 24 Blessing Rings so that those who obtained them could enter the Temple and obtain power to help her resurrect. Those who were unwilling to help would be plagued by bad luck. This was a level-18 divine spell, right? It couldn't be resisted.
But he could loot all the Temples to prevent others from obtaining them and sharing the luck left behind by the Goddess. Salin understood that if someone else completed the Goddess' mission, then he wouldn't have fulfilled the contract. When the Goddess resurrected, his soul would belong to the Goddess, and he would never be able to free himself.
This idea was a bit crazy. Salin didn't tell Shika, in case she got involved.
Salin had already entered three Temples: the one in the Chaos Swamp, the one in the Northwest North Sea, and the one in the Pink Bandits. Rex knew one, which meant that there were already four Temples in Salin's hands. There were still 20 more. If he dug them all out, no one would be able to obtain the Goddess' mission.
If others couldn't get the mission, then he could obtain all the luck left behind by Myer. As for what would happen after the Goddess' resurrection, it would depend on whether the Grandmasters could break free from the Graveyard of Heroes.
After Salin understood Cain, he no longer had any respect for the Gods, even in terms of power. So once this idea emerged, he could no longer suppress it.
However, Salin still hoped to resurrect Myer as soon as possible. Because the earlier Myer was resurrected, the weaker her power would be. The peak power on the continent was still at level-12. If the plane advanced, Myer could directly become a level-15 God.
"Salin, what are you talking about?" What are you talking about? "Rex suddenly returned at this moment, and appeared in the magic tower on the 17th floor.
"I'm talking about … something about fate."
