[First update. Many things have happened recently. I'll tell everyone later. I'm busy writing.]
Qin Yin pricked his finger and wrote his name on the star pattern scroll with blood. The scroll glowed with starlight, and immediately after, the scroll turned into ashes.
Seeing that there was no problem with Qin Yin's contract, Salin continued, "Qin Yin, since you're following me, I might as well tell you everything about the temple. You don't have to avoid anything in the future."
"Yes, Master." Qin Yin wasn't worried about his treatment. Salin never tried to save money on this. Even if he wasn't his follower, just a professional close to him would be treated the same as the followers of other mages.
He was a rare level-nine archer, so he didn't have to worry about Salin mistreating him.
"Listen up, everyone. This temple is part of Sky City. It should be a piece of land. It's too big, more than 15 miles wide and more than two miles thick. I can't bring it out. I have to get it. Even if I can't bring it out, I can't let others have it. So we can't lose this city. For now, it's safe here. But I'm worried about Agares. "
"Agares might not know the secret here. Master, you can distract him."
"Yes." Salin agreed and continued, "I don't plan to expand here. It can accommodate tens of thousands of troops. I'm relying on my familiars and demons to defend this city anyway. My Elemental Magic Tower can come back at any time after setting up the teleportation matrix."
"Master, who are you going to let stay?" Daniel asked worriedly. He didn't want to deal with government affairs anymore. Following Salin was the right choice. Salin trusted him completely now. In Salin's most difficult time, he also did his duty as a coolie in Metatlin and passed the test.
Salin smiled and said, "Daniel, don't worry. I'll let you follow me in the future. I plan to build a second demon city here. Then, I'll let Trish take charge of everything here and establish the Demon Mercenary Group. "
Shika and the others followed Salin's train of thought and felt that this was a good idea. It could indeed fool people. The headquarters of the Demon Mercenary Group was built here, and the southwestern nobles could get reinforcements at any time. They were heading east, and they still had to resist the pressure from Alchemy City. Salin's establishment of a demonic force here would not cause much of a reaction.
"Master, Wei An and the others are already familiar with my place. They won't choose to leave." Nelis couldn't bear to let them go. The four Cloud Beast Swordsmen that Salin had subdued had now advanced to the Silver Sword Saint rank.
Combat power was secondary. These four people were very experienced in training demons and were very familiar with them. They could even imitate all kinds of accents in the demon language. The four Sword Saints had a deep understanding of the bloodline of the Abyss Devils.
With these four people presiding over the Evil Demon City, they could quickly select and train an elite Evil Demon army, saving Nelis a lot of trouble.
"Hey, Nelis, there are many people fighting for this position." Shika saw that Nelis didn't want to be at a disadvantage, so he tried to discourage her. Regarding Little Devil, Sicar felt that he had to remind her from time to time to not let her be too complacent. When this little devil was too pleased with himself, he would do something out of line.
Nelis lowered her head, looking like she knew she was wrong.
Salin pretended not to see and continued, "Daniel, I need you to advance to Level Nine. Otherwise, you will be too easily restrained by the Vatican. If you need anything, tell me as soon as possible. Let's not talk about this now. What I'm saying is, we can pretend that this temple doesn't exist for now and attack Pang Pei City immediately. "
Eileen said, "Pang Pei City is said to be in cahoots with Alchemy City and has the support of Magicians. There are dozens of Magic Towers now, and it will be too difficult to use metal aircraft to deal with them."
"So we have to see how many troops this Duke Pang Pei will send to attack. If they don't come, I will just build the Evil Demon City here. If they come … "Killing intent flashed in Salin's eyes.
Everyone except Shika felt a chill in their hearts.
If Duke Pang Pei sent troops to attack the Evil Demon City that Salin was going to build, these troops would definitely not be able to return. Although Duke Pang Pei was not weak, he didn't have a thousand-year-old family like the Iron Blood Duke. Colluding with Alchemy City was just to help him defend against Pang Pei.
On Salin's side, there were 100,000 demons and thousands of familiars in the Elemental Magic Tower. They could fight against enemies ten times their size and not be at a disadvantage.
"Master, I understand. I will send demons to find out how many troops are coming and see if Alchemy City will immediately attack you," Nelis said and began to summon demons.
As Neris spoke, she began to summon Demons. She summoned Demons that could fly, and some Tamed Demons that could fly were also summoned. Neris gave the Demons an order, and the Demons nodded and left.
After discussing with his followers, Salin found the generals of the allied forces of the Southwest nobles. Salin expressed his willingness to build a Demon City here and restrain the Demons. Only trained Demons would be sent to these nobles.
The Qin Yin people were very curious and envious of demons. Hearing Salin's words, a higher-ranking general suddenly suggested, "Your Highness Salin, why don't you form an alliance with the nobles? Everyone will invest together to build this Evil Demon Mercenary Group. I know you don't lack this investment, but this way, the Evil Demon Mercenary Group will belong to the coalition army in name."
Seeing that Salin wasn't interested, the general simply said, "The nobles in the southwest will not fight with Your Highness for the mercenary group's income. Everyone wants a name. This means that in the future, if any nobles in the southwest are harmed, the Evil Demon Mercenary Group will be obligated to help. No one can say anything against it."
Salin laughed and said, "The Qin Yin Empire is indeed amazing. This is a good idea. What's your name?"
"Borg."
"Borg, if you want to follow me one day, come find me directly. I will make you an elite general."
"Your Highness, the soldiers of the Qin Yin Empire are loyal." Borg tactfully rejected Salin, but Salin wasn't angry. If warriors were all like Yun Liuren, the Qin Yin Empire would have long been unable to withstand the Vatican's attack. Salin had fought with the Vatican before. Back then, it was only a temporary expeditionary force that had beaten Salin's army back to Metatlin City.
If not for Metatlin City, the expeditionary force would have long since destroyed Salin's forces.
When believers fought, they fought without regard for their lives. No, it was more terrifying than not caring for their lives. These believers would think that dying in battle was the greatest loyalty to their god. Thus, the reward they would receive was entering the Kingdom of Heaven and obtaining eternal life.
When such people fought, they would smile and face the blade fearlessly.
The nobles in the north of the Qin Yin relied on their private soldiers and militia to keep the Vatican's army in a quagmire of war. They never had the chance to attack south, and they couldn't even seize the canal.
The nobles in the southwest were very united. Salin's heart had originally designed according to Borg's idea. He knew that the nobles would definitely have such a proposal. When the time came, he would just go with the flow and get the city. He didn't care about anything else.
Salin immediately made the decision and named this place New Demon City.
New Demon City was the headquarters of the alliance between the Bitter Water Prefectural Kingdom and the southwest nobles. The southwest nobles would send messengers to coordinate the entire southwest political situation with Salin's people.
In fact, this was the prototype model for the southwest nobles to rely on Rex. New Demon City was directly seized by Salin and became one of Rex's strongholds.
This way, Salin didn't want to leave this place in the short term. He simply reinforced the tall tower in the center of New Demon City and redesigned the layout. The center of the city was where demons were cultivated and summoned. It was even easier to expand the city on the periphery.
Because the old site of New Demon City was very high, there was an average drop of about 80 meters between the new city and the old city. Salin wanted to defend the old city, and the spatial tunnel was right in the center of the old city.
This time, Salin simply took out the Elemental Magic Tower and contacted Rex. Rex couldn't help but praise Salin after hearing what Salin said. "Salin, you're finally a qualified king now."
Salin only laughed. Recently, he felt that after advancing to level-10, his thinking had become much simpler. He would often go straight to the core of the problem. In the past, he might have had a lot of problems, but these were all in the past now.
After advancing to level-10, any living creature would have undergone a huge evolution and almost become a different species. Level-10 humans were intelligent and had strong vitality. Their speed of absorbing knowledge was more than ten times faster.
If it was already like this after advancing to level-10, what about level-13? That was the level of a fake god, with an extremely long lifespan.
The flying demon scouts were sent out. After three days, they didn't get any useful information. New demons were constantly being sent out. From the sky to the land, and even in the rivers, there were demons looking for traces of Pompei City's attack.
This place was only about four hundred kilometers away from Pompei City. Although there were some mountains in between, there were many cracks between these mountains. There were more than eight roads that could be used to attack. If Duke Pompei wanted to advance, he could quickly reach the new Demon City.
In three days, Pompei's army didn't come. Salin had already renovated the new Demon City. Because he had already decided on the southwest strategy, Salin built the center of the new Demon City to be impregnable.
The Puppet World domain was maintained. Five hundred thousand puppets worked non-stop to build the new Demon City according to the specifications of the Demonic Plane. A hexagonal city rose from the high ground. The entire city wall was completely flawless. There were metal towers for setting up the magic net on top, and huge bunkers below with magic furnaces installed.
