[Second Update]
The Second Head Inquisitor knew that the people from Black Purgatory were on their side, but he felt a chill at the thought of the Warden. It was a fear that came from the depths of his soul. Even though he had advanced to level 10, he could not erase this feeling. He even suspected that the Warden had advanced to level 11. Otherwise, how could he not dare to imagine this person from thousands of miles away?
Salin's men were still chasing their targets. The prison guards and knights had already lost their will to fight. Those who continued to resist were killed on the spot. Then, Neris left a demonic bug egg on the corpses to incubate. When Salin and his men left, these demonic bugs would eat up the corpses and hide, waiting for new targets to approach.
Salin's followers did not attack those who had given up. They only let Winter and his demons collect the weapons and equipment.
More and more demons chased the enemies who had already lost their will to fight to a flat area. Salin released a Rain of Fire spell in the sky. Countless water droplets condensed in the air and burned.
The people on the ground looked at the fire in the sky blankly. When the Rain of Fire descended, these people knew that their time of death had come.
Cries shook the sinkhole. Those believers who chose to surrender looked more or less ashamed. Salin pretended not to see them. He calculated that there were at least two thousand people who chose to give up. This was different from what he had expected. He could not bring so many people with him.
Salin landed on the ground and gestured to Neris. Neris understood and opened the Purgatory of Purification, letting the demons chase the surrendered believers into the purgatory.
More than half of the believers who entered the purgatory fell to the ground, writhing in pain. They could not see the situation in the sky. They could only feel as if there was a giant hand tearing their bodies and souls apart.
There were about three hundred people who did not change. Neris released these three hundred people into the purgatory.
These three hundred people were the ones who had truly betrayed the God of Light. Salin pointed at them and said, "Winter, from now on, these are your subordinates."
After about ten minutes, there was no more noise in the Purgatory of Purification. Only then did Nelis release the dying believers. The power in these believers had been extracted, and their faith was gone. Their eyes were blank.
Salin asked Dong, "Can these people still be used?"
Dong nodded and said, "No problem. As long as it's life, I have a way to force them to believe in gods. It's just a matter of time."
"We're running out of time," Salin said. "Next, I'm going to the Cloud Flow Realm to find another temple."
"Then these people's lives will become very short."
"Go ahead. I'll give you one day. Is that okay?"
"It won't take that long," Winter replied.
Dong went to arrange the divine runic array. He didn't believe in Goddess Myers, but this didn't prevent him from using the power of faith of the Goddess of Nature. The teachings of the Goddess of Nature were extensive and could tolerate the existence of false believers. Winter possessed the Divine Kingdom Knight Armor and the green mud stones inlaid on it could contain a massive amount of the power of faith, helping him activate the divine runic array.
The purified believers could regain their strength, but the price was a part of their lives.
They had been forced to fall, so their Power of Faith would not be too pure. However, Salin did not care about this at all. Being a fake believer of the Goddess of Nature was better than letting them continue to help the Church.
No matter how depraved these people were, the Church would not tolerate their existence. Gods didn't have the time to distinguish these things, especially a god like the God of Light who strongly discriminated against him.
Taking advantage of Winter to arrange the array, Salin took out the Divine Kingdom Knight Armor that he had refined. Of course, these armors didn't meet Winter's requirements, but the materials were pitifully simple. Basically, the main material was metallized steel rock, paired with demon beast bone armor, a small amount of fine steel, and a lining made from demon beast skin.
Most importantly, these armors were also infused with fragments of the Petrified God Race, so they more or less had some of the functions of the Divine Kingdom Knight Armor. Anyway, Winter couldn't recruit elite soldiers right now. If these armors were used by ordinary soldiers, they would already be considered excellent equipment.
Salin only prepared 90 sets of real high-quality armors for the 100 demons who belonged to Winter to wear. Among them, the demons had already received the corresponding equipment, so Salin was only responsible for the remaining 90.
Seeing Nelis distribute the armor and equip the demons with weapons, Winter was a little happy in his heart. Although there were only 2000 odd soldiers in his hands, with his own training, these 2000 odd people and 100 demons would soon become real killing machines.
What made Dong the happiest was that apart from the 100 Demons, the remaining 2,000 or so were all soldiers of the Inquisition.
Salin's method was too in line with his intentions. This was the most direct revenge. Let your believers become my warriors. And Nelis's Purgatory of Purification also surprised him. There was actually equipment that could deprive others of their faith. If this was known by the Vatican, they would probably put Nelis to death at any cost.
This kind of equipment was too scary. If there were no restrictions, then everything that the Vatican had obtained would be taken back.
But judging from Winter's knowledge, it was impossible to have unlimited equipment in the world.
Of course, Nelis and Salin wanted to purify all the believers of the Vatican. But to purify the believers, they had to at least send them into the Purgatory of Purification. How could the believers be willing to go in obediently? To purify them, they had to first capture them. This was like catching a rat that stole food. Even a mage would know to kill it directly. There was no need to use any high-level magic.
The battle started early in the morning and ended when the sun had completely risen.
Without a 10th-level expert to oversee the battle, the following battles were meaningless. Salin was even more certain that the future form of war was entirely a matter of the strong. Without reaching the 9th level, one was not a qualified soldier. Those below the 7th level were better off going home to farm.
And according to some notes obtained from the Astrology Tower, among the ancient humans, without the power of the 4th level or above, they were not even qualified to farm. The division of strength in those days was not like this, but Salin could roughly calculate it.
The alchemy machinery in ancient times was not as developed as it is now. If one wanted to reclaim barren land, the best way was to drive large magic beasts to help. Even if those large magic beasts were vegetarian, there were times when they would lose their temper. It was not so easy to be a farmer in those days. At the very least, one had to have the ability to deal with a behemoth weighing thousands of kilograms.
Winter was still busy, so Salin no longer cared about what he was doing. He found a place, took out a magic map, and discussed with Shika about their next target.
After entering the Lookout, not much time had passed in the outside world. Only a month had passed, and it was not yet late autumn.
Among the 24 Lookouts of Goddess Myers, there were only four. One of them seemed to be on an island in the sea. This island was thousands of miles away from the mainland. Salin could not find the image of the island on the magic map, which meant that the island was at least more than two thousand miles away from the mainland.
"Salin, why don't you go to the Tanggulas Empire? Here, look." Shika pointed to the location of the Lookout marked on the magic map and said, "This place is very far from the important places of the Holy See. If we go there, we will not encounter any enemies."
"Shika, no. The Holy See is watching our movements. The Holy See has already discovered two Lookout ruins, and we have emptied them, leaving nothing useful behind. If the Holy See finds the third site, they can also mobilize thousands of mages to calculate the location of the other Lookouts like us. "
Shika immediately understood. In fact, even if the Holy See found the location of the third Lookout, it would be difficult to calculate the location of the other Lookouts. But once the Holy See found the fourth Lookout, they would definitely know what Salin was doing.
On the surface, the Holy See had existed for more than a thousand years, but the actual history was much longer. Probably during the Third Dynasty, the God of Light secretly wanted to invade the Myers Continent. But at that time, the power of the God of Light was not enough to preach in this plane, and the power of humans did not completely decline.
During the Third Dynasty, humans could still rely on powerful equipment to fight with all the believers of gods. At that time, there might be powerful humans left on the Myers Continent. Even if the gods came in person, they would not get any benefits.
Therefore, the actual time of the Holy See's lurking might be close to ten thousand years, and they would know a lot of history.
Regarding the matter of the Goddess Myers, the Holy See would definitely pay more attention. Although the secret of the Lookout could be concealed from anyone, when the secret of the Lookout was discovered, the Holy See would judge the intentions of the Goddess from a lot of information.
Once the Holy See had such a judgment, they would find ways to destroy the resurrection plan of the Goddess.
Salin did not care about the Goddess' plan, but he cared about his contract with the Goddess. Before the resurrection of Myers, he must let the Goddess Myers plan continue.
The more Lookouts he developed, the more luck he would have. This was something Salin was very clear about, and it had been verified. This time, his luck could not be calculated by any formula, including astrology.
"Then where do you plan to go? Dong Ke has more than two thousand new subordinates, and we can't let them die just like that. Look, Nicholas has also tempted three mages to fall. " Shika pointed to the distance, where three mages stood devoutly in front of Nicholas, listening to him explain the lies of the gods to them.
"I know what to do. Let's start here." Salin pointed to the sea outside Alchemy City, about five thousand miles south of Seriger Island and said, "There is a Lookout here. The Cloud Flow people almost never pay attention to it, and Alchemy City has not set foot in it either. It is the only safe place. "We will go back to Metatlin now, then set off from the sea, along the edge of the Sea of Storms, around Seriger Island, and go here first. It will probably take more than a month. If the Holy See can't find us, they will think too much. "
"Go back?"
