Second Update.
What annoyed Dinicio was that he'd schemed to send Salin into the Holy Kingdom, but Salin had actually escaped. Salin definitely had the interplanar teleportation formation and coordinates.
Why would Salin build an interplanar teleportation formation in Metatlin City for no reason? Even if Salin was rich, he couldn't be so extravagant. The cost of building an interplanar teleportation formation was equivalent to building a city.
Moreover, ordinary materials were used to build cities, but precious materials were needed to build interplanar teleportation formations. Some things even the Church couldn't gather.
There had to be a very important secret in Metatlin City. But the spy hired by the Church had mysteriously died. This made it impossible for the Church to obtain any more useful information. Metatlin City was like an iron bucket. All the important departments were in the Holy Palace, and no one was allowed to enter more than half a mile around the Holy Palace. Even the patrols of the Holy Palace army were outside this area.
The people of the Church all had faith power. It was impossible for them to sneak into Metatlin City. Metatlin City looked very lax. There were no special checks, but the three walls and nine gates were all built according to Dante's sequence. Whatever happened below the city, the Holy Palace would know at the same time. There were too many Mages in Metatlin City, taking turns to monitor. The 36 Magic Towers guarded day and night. If one wanted to sneak in, they had to be at least level-10, and they couldn't attack. If they attacked, they would be exposed immediately.
Otherwise, they had to have extremely powerful equipment to hide themselves. Otherwise, the Church wouldn't be able to do anything in Metatlin City.
That was why the Church's spies were all hired from outside. The Holy Palace controlled many bandit groups, but they weren't clean. It was difficult to sneak into Metatlin City.
Salin had returned from the Holy Kingdom with great fanfare, but Dinicio hadn't come to stop him.
Salin wasn't in a hurry. He wasn't targeting Dinicio in the first place. If Dinicio came, Salin might as well give up on targeting the Chief Inquisitor. This kind of response was already very natural for Salin.
Along the coast, the Iron Blood Grand Duke regularly sent intelligence reports to Salin according to the treaty. Alchemy City was in a mess. As expected, the Devil's Horn had gotten Salin's materials and started building warships on a large scale.
An ordinary warship wasn't much, but this warship had the air of an ancient warship. It was a huge warship with equipment similar to a Magic Tower.
The Ironblood Duke didn't make a rash judgment, but Salin believed that they were building a large-scale magic amplifier.
The Devil's Horns were indeed ambitious, to actually build such a thing. Large-scale magic amplifiers could be used on battleships as if they were using the Magic Net. With this kind of pure metal warship, needless to say, the combat power of the Devil's Horn would naturally increase by a hundredfold. There was also no need to fear the Elemental Hand. Once the warship was completed, the two sides could fight as equals.
Salin received the news and knew that the Elemental Hand was busy with their own affairs. If they wanted to reach a consensus with the Devil's Horn, they had to make contact to determine the difference in strength between the two sides. If they were the same, there would be no need to fight.
Salin was most afraid that Alchemy City would send people to cause trouble for him. After all, he brought too few people with him. Compared to Alchemy City, the number of Mages in Metatlin City was still insufficient.
The Elemental Magic Tower flew quickly. The entire tower was wrapped in clouds, and its flying speed gradually approached 400 miles. This wasn't even the fastest speed of the Elemental Magic Tower. The fastest speed of the Elemental Magic Tower was more than a thousand miles, but that would make the flight mageweath useless again.
However, if elemental creatures were thrown into the magic furnace, the speed could still be increased to 800 miles.
It wasn't that Mages couldn't do such cruel things, but Salin didn't like to kill elemental creatures just to hurry along the way. If his life was threatened, it wasn't a big deal to sacrifice some elemental creatures.
A journey of 20,000 miles could be covered by 7,000 miles in a day. With the magic furnace, the Elemental Magic Tower's flight was no longer interrupted. In three days, Salin arrived at Daliang City.
It was difficult to cast magic above Daliang City, but Salin's Elemental Magic Tower relied on the magic furnace to fly. It couldn't mobilize the elements in the space, and the most it could do was throw elemental creatures into the magic furnace.
Salin only used a low-level elemental creature to safely land the Elemental Magic Tower in the palace of Daliang City.
There was only one Magic Tower in the world that could fly, and no one dared to attack it when the Tamed Demons sensed Nelis's aura. Rex's palace was very safe under the protection of a magic net.
The people of Alchemy City didn't know their limits. If they attacked here, they would be completely defeated by the Tamers.
Salin came, but Rex didn't come to receive him. The battle on the city wall was so intense that even she, the ruler of a country, had to come to the battlefield in person. Rex had the God Luo Ring. No one knew its other abilities, but its defensive ability was unparalleled in the world. There was once a Level-Nine Archer who wanted to ambush Rex. He took an arrow and shot it in front of Rex, but Rex didn't even bat an eyelid, and the arrow disappeared without a trace.
The attacks were all the same, so the people of the Church gave up on the idea of killing Rex.
The battlefield between the two sides was concentrated outside the eastern city wall of Daliang City, at the entrance to the giant's graveyard.
The city wall of Daliang City was 500 meters tall, which was like a mountain. It was inconvenient for people to enter and leave the city. After the appearance of the Divine Kingdom Knights, these knights could fly, so the people in the city didn't dare to move casually.
Fortunately, the number of the Stone God Clan was decreasing, and the Vatican couldn't gain any advantage.
There was a suspension bridge at the top of the city wall, so the soldiers could rush down and fight. This suspension bridge was completely magic equipment, and with the protection of the magic net at the top of the city wall, it was difficult to destroy.
Naturally, there were officials from the Kushui Prefecture who came to receive Salin. Among these officials, there were also Mages, and they were all familiar with Salin. Salin ordered Nelis to release the Demon Army.
It would take some time to mobilize five hundred thousand Abyss Devils. After Salin released Nelis, he informed the officials, then activated the Elemental Magic Tower and flew to the east of the city.
The Elemental Magic Tower landed at the back of the city. The city wall here was originally more than 40 meters tall, and the Elemental Magic Tower stood on the thick city wall. At the top of the tower, huge metal gears emerged layer by layer, slowly rotating, forming a magic net.
The magic net of the Elemental Magic Tower had two sets of energy supply systems. One was the six small magic furnaces on each floor, and the other was the large magic furnace on the 16th floor.
Salin didn't care about the consumption, and directly opened the magic net. At his position, there were two groups of people fighting under the city wall. One group was the Blood Knights of the Vatican, and the other group was thousands of the Undead. These Undead were already tattered, and if they were injured again, they would have to return to the Undead Plane to be resurrected.
The Blood Knights were also very miserable. There were about three thousand people on both sides, and the Stone God Clan that rushed out of the giant's graveyard was dealt with by someone else. These six thousand people were fighting in pairs, and it was lively, but it didn't affect the battle at all.
Salin saw the exit of the giant's graveyard below the city wall, and there was a black mass of prison guards waiting. On the other side, there was the Demon Army. Because there were two exits in the graveyard, everyone simply divided into four groups. Each team would block the exit, and then split into two teams to kill each other.
This kind of strange battle had been going on for more than a month.
Necromancers didn't like to fight like this. The Undead were also living beings, and if they were lost here for no reason, although they could be resurrected, they wouldn't be the original Undead.
When a Mage summoned the Undead, they would usually summon an Undead to serve the Mage. It was the same for the Undead used in battle. Their combat power would be strong if they could be summoned repeatedly by the Mage.
After all, not every Mage could create an Undead Space, so this kind of consumption was too extravagant.
Salin's people could afford it. Although Ainphent hadn't advanced to level ten, his ability to summon the Undead was too terrifying. With the help of two Undead creatures, Ainphent could forcefully summon creatures from the Undead Plane, and then distribute these summoned creatures to the Necromancers under him.
The Necromancers could subdue one or two of them, and use the rest as consumables. Those that could be subdued were more unique and had some intelligence. Those that couldn't were basically cannon fodder in the Undead Plane.
The Vatican wasn't willing to give up. This kind of consumption would reduce the number of Blood Knights, but the Pope didn't give the order to attack, so they could only wear them down day by day.
Salin counted about four thousand prison guards blocking the exit of the Giant's Graveyard. After Rex entered the Magic Tower, he smiled and said to Rex, "Lace, I'm late."
"Good that you know. Take care of those prison guards down there." Rex pointed at the four thousand prison guards tiredly.
Salin saw that Rex was a little angry, but he still smiled and gave the order to attack. The magic net of the Elemental Magic Tower had a much larger range than the magic net on the city wall. Salin could use magic to attack within five kilometers.
Another elemental creature was thrown into the large magic furnace. Under Salin's command, 3,600 familiars released a level-seven spell at the same time.
A pale color spread out from the top of the Elemental Magic Tower. This was a level-seven instant death spell, Life Plunder.
This was an instant death spell with a very low success rate, but Salin saw the trajectory of fate. In this Giant's Graveyard, everything would develop in the worst direction. He had the help of Goddess Myers' luck, so he had the advantage.
When these 3,600 instant death spells were released, not only were the people of the Vatican dumbfounded, but even the Necromancers on the city wall were dumbfounded. 3,600 spells of the seventh level had killed more than 3,200 enemies. Only less than four hundred spells failed and were not completed.
This was a massacre of magic. The enemies couldn't resist at all. For instant death spells, one could only rely on luck to avoid them. Either one's level was high enough, and the enemy wouldn't be able to lock on to you. Once locked on, the instant death spells would take effect, and you'd have to wait for the result.
Other than the suppression of a major rank, there was no way to deal with instant death spells.
