"The third update. I was going to call this a last-minute preparation …"
The training of the prison guards was extremely difficult. With more than 3,000 dead, all the defensive divine spells were rendered useless. The stone gods immediately rushed out of the cave and crushed the remaining prison guards into meat paste.
The Vatican did indeed have a reserve team of more than 2,000 cavalry. Salin's Elemental Magic Tower's Instant Death Magic had a high success rate in such an environment. The Church was caught off guard. By the time the cavalry charged forward, it was already too late. Thousands of Stone God Tribe members had charged out and were wreaking havoc on the plains.
The Vatican could only move forward and not retreat. Because the people of Daliang City could still retreat under the protection of the magic net, but there was a plain outside the city. Where could the Vatican retreat to?
Moreover, after more than a year of war, the knights of the Vatican were no longer inexperienced soldiers. If they retreated now, more people would die.
Rex saw the scene below the city. She sighed and said, "If only you had come earlier."
"If I had, the people of Alchemy City would have rebelled. Rex, the conflict between me and Alchemy City is already out in the open. On the surface, they are targeting you, but in reality, they are targeting me. Pang Pei City was destroyed by Alchemy City to deter the nobles in the southwest. But I have already appeased the nobles in the southwest for you. As long as you send people there, you can regroup and attack Holy Rock City from the front and back. "
There were no Mages from Holy Rock City in the Magic Tower, so Salin spoke without restraint.
"Oh no, my brother is still alive." Rex was a bit sad when she said this. Her brother was congenitally weak. No magic potion could save him. With a body like this, he could probably live to 40. For the rest of his days, one more day was one more day. He definitely wouldn't be able to manage the country. At most, in 20 years, the throne would fall to him. If Sephiroth didn't agree, then there would be time to launch an expedition.
Salin tried to test Rex. Seeing that Rex wouldn't agree, he gave up. In Salin's opinion, Rex's brother didn't want to be an emperor. Salin didn't even want to be an emperor, let alone a sick and weak person.
Dealing with government affairs was no different from fighting. It was even more tiring. The average lifespan of adventuring Mages was longer than that of an Emperor. It could be seen that being an Emperor was also a high-risk job.
However, not being able to attack the Holy Speech City was a good thing for Salin. Anyway, with the Church around, there would naturally be people to attack the Holy Rock City. The problem now was that Saint Rock City was powerless in offense and had more than enough in defense. Salin had to trim the Vatican's wings so that Holy Rock City could free up their hands to counterattack Jia Loulan.
No matter how chaotic the world was and how many people died, the Myers Continent would not collapse. When a person could live for a thousand years, they would become indifferent to life and death, whether it was their own or someone else's.
In the past, Salin would still feel distressed over the destruction of Iron Wall City because he had no other choice. But he would not now. This was fate. If fate allowed him to die, he would still fight. If fate wanted someone else to die, Salin could only watch silently.
Even gods could fall, and all living beings in the Divine Nation would suffer as well. That was tens of billions, hundreds of billions, or even trillions of lives. Compared to this, the chaos of war on the continent was really nothing tragic.
Back then, when Fayern dissected corpses, Salin was still a little uncomfortable. Now that he thought about it, in Fayern's heart, there was only magic and had nothing to do with cruelty.
"Then the nobles in the Southwest will be very disappointed," Salin said casually.
Unexpectedly, Rex said, "I have made an agreement with Ebola. She will support me, so I do not need to attack Holy Rock City. As long as I can defend this place, the Golden Plain has decided to treat this place as its second capital. "
"Build a new nation?"
"Yes, annex Qin Yin. We will talk about it after my brother is dead. I can now integrate the nobles in the Southwest and prevent Holy Rock City from getting any support in the South. In the area around Great Liang City, I hope you can help me control the Lihai so that the Yun Liu people's fleet can never enter the water. I have already lost the entire area controlled by Great Liang City, so I will not fight for it here. However, I want to get the east of Titan and control all the land around the Lihai. "
"Then Great Liang City will become the front line!"
"Isn't it the front line now? Who wouldn't be jealous of the Giant's Graveyard? If I can defend it, I will be the emperor of a nation. If I can't, I will accompany you to preach and become a charlatan. After completing the contract, we will be free and go to the Half Plane to build our own nation. "
"Alright. But, Grace, don't worry, we can …"
"Salin, I don't have time."
"Grace, I am not here to help you defend the city this time." Salin could only speak in the most direct way. Rex was obviously too tired. He no longer looked like a king, but a weak woman.
"What did you say?"
"I am here to kill the important figures of the Vatican. Once some of them die, it will be easier for you here. "
"Who are you going to deal with?"
"Chief Inquisitor, we have fought before. He is a very difficult person, and he has a powerful divine weapon."
"How confident are you?"
"Sixty percent."
"Do you need me? Salin, I am also a Level Ten Wizard. "
Salin was only slightly stunned, and then said, "No need. This time, I will face the enemy alone."
"When you came, you created such a commotion just to attract the enemy?"
"Yes, then I will go to the Li Sea. There, I will attract the Chief Inquisitor to attack."
"Ah? Ha … "Rex was stunned, and then laughed. It was too simple for Salin to do so. But the simpler the strategy, the more effective it was. Salin obviously came to Great Liang City to do something very important. Leaving here and going to the Li Sea, there was obviously something as valuable as the Giant's Graveyard.
The Vatican would definitely send people there. To suppress Salin, they would need a powerhouse like Dinicio. But Dinicio had to stay here and not give up on the Giant's Graveyard. The people most likely to follow Salin and attack were the people from the Tribunal.
"Grace, don't laugh. I am really going to do something very important. Do you remember the coordinates of the Li Sea? "
"I remember, you mean …"
"Yes, this is the so-called Eye of the Sea. There is a Space Tunnel leading to the deep sea. The Space Tunnel has never appeared in the records of ordinary Wizards because the Eye of the Sea has been suppressed. There has never been a flood in the Li Sea because the Eye of the Sea has never been unusually agitated. "
"Salin, it can't be?" Rex heard Salin's analysis and felt that it was not very reliable.
"I will know whether it is or not when I go there."
"How about I lend this to you?" As Rex spoke, he took off the Shenluo Ring and wanted to put it on Salin's finger.
Salin was really touched. This Shenluo Ring was not an ordinary piece of equipment. Even a Divine Weapon could not compare to it. This was left to him by Rex's father, and he could not lose it.
Putting the Shenluo Ring back on Rex's finger, Salin said, "Grace, I will show you my current power. “
From the Star Pattern Bracelet, Salin released his own magic amplification device — Elemental Order.
"What is this!" Rex was stunned.
"Magic amplification device, Elemental Order. It can provide me with 24 times the power."
"Salin, you said that you only have a 60% chance of killing the Chief Inquisitor?" Rex heard the problem in his words.
"Yes, the Chief Inquisitor might have advanced to level 11."
"Then how confident is he in killing you?"
"10%," Salin answered confidently.
The coldness on Rex's face finally dissipated. She patted Salin's shoulder lightly and said, "Then go. When I become a queen, you will be a prince. This advancement is even harder than magic."
Salin laughed loudly, and Rex finally relaxed. It was indeed a wise decision for his teacher to ask him to make a magic amplification device. He put the Elemental Order back into the equipment slot and said, "I will stay for the night and leave tomorrow morning."
Rex blushed and said, "Why are you staying?"
"Eh? Didn't you ask Eileen to make medicine for you to give birth to a son? "Salin quickly asked while Rex was in a good mood.
However, Rex's expression turned ugly again. Salin saw it, but did not know the reason. Rex sighed and said, "Even if I want to give birth now, I don't have time to raise them. I really envy Silva … "
Salin thought about it and agreed. People like him and Rex were related to the lives of many people. They could not afford to be idle for even a moment. What about Silva? He only had to take care of the hundreds of thousands of Caucasians. Moreover, the hundreds of thousands of Caucasians worshiped Silva like a god. Silva's two children were also the lifeblood of these Caucasians.
Even if Shika did not let these two children become priests, these two children were born with the ability to be priests.
"Then … don't take any medicine for now," Salin said as he carried Rex and went straight to the next floor of the Elemental Magic Tower. No one could enter the 16th floor no matter what. Only Salin had the right to enter. This was where the mechanical core of the Sky City and the large magic furnace were located.
"Salin, do you still miss me?" Rex did not struggle. Instead, she wrapped her arms around Salin's neck and asked in Salin's ear.
"Yes."
"Even if you are with Silva?" Rex asked a very feminine question. In the past, she was like a perfect royal and would not ask such a childish question in front of him.
"Yes, I miss her too." Salin nodded hard. He was not a teenager anymore. He knew that this was the only answer at this time.
"Mage, don't lie." Rex rubbed Salin's nose with some force. But no matter how strong she was, how could she compare to Silva? In Salin's eyes, this was already infinitely gentle.
"I'm also an astrologer," Salin said as he released the puppet star in the space of the Magic Tower. This puppet star did not fully unfold. It floated above and released thousands of starlight.
The bright starlight filled the space, making people feel as if they were in the sky. The mechanical core of the Sky City also changed at this time. The surrounding metal turned into flowers and trees.
