"Sharjah, why are you so afraid of me?" Faka asked kindly.
Sharjah calmed down and tried to keep his voice as calm as possible. "Lord Faka, why are you here?"
Faka wasn't angry that Sharjah didn't answer his question. He smiled. "I'm here to save you."
"Save me?"
"Yeah. Those two fellows from God's Kingdom have probably betrayed the gods. What they want is the entire plane. They made a kid the pope and kicked you away. Do you think that's it? "
"What else do they want?" Sharjah asked angrily.
"Of course it's your God Ring. Even I want it, not to mention those Oracles. "Faka's smile became a little strange. Sharjah's heart was in his throat.
If Faka wanted to deal with him, he wouldn't be his opponent even with the God Ring.
The reason why the God's Emissary group could get rid of the Cardinal Institution's control was all because of Faka. No one could arrange the positions of the seven Oracles except for Faka.
"Why are you trembling again?" Faka said to Sharjah in a reproachful tone. "I was going to ask if you're willing to join the God's Emissary group."
Sharjah didn't know how to answer. When the news of Dinicio's death came, he didn't believe it and didn't dare to take control. Later, the two Oracles returned and announced Dinicio's death. Sharjah wanted to do something, but it was too late.
By the time he realized it, he was already kicked away by the two Oracles.
Sharjah didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse when he heard Faka recruiting him. Faka's meaning was clear. If he joined the God's Emissary group, he wouldn't have to hand over the God Ring. However, he would have to fight against two rank 12 Oracles.
"Sharjah, you already lost a chance when Dinicio died. Are you really going to give the divine artifact to those two and be a submissive Divine Master for the rest of your life?"
"Never!" Sharjah suddenly had the courage. He didn't want to live that kind of life for even a day.
"Then come with me. You don't have to go to Glory City," Faka said and waved his hand. Sharjah's carriage suddenly flew into the sky.
The changes within the Curia had affected the war situation on the continent. Originally, the northern half of Qin Yin had fallen. Now, after being dealt a heavy blow by the Druidic Order of Knights, most of the invading army of the Curia had retreated to Jia Loulan.
Within the borders of the Rhine Duchy, there were also knights from the Druidic Order invading. However, most of these knights were formed by demons. The Rhine army did not know if it was better to attack them or just let them be.
Once the religious army met them, they would fight to the death.
Generally speaking, religious armies would not occupy the cities of other countries. However, if they attacked, it would be a war of annihilation. Because of this, the Rhine Principality tolerated the Holy Church's request to borrow soldiers and roads. Not only did they give benefits, but they also sent mercenaries to participate in the battle.
There were many troops from the Rhine Duchy in the expeditionary army of the Church.
The Holy Church was defeated, and the Nature Religion attacked. The Rhine Principality was in chaos. Mercenaries were trustworthy, as long as you paid. Once the money from the Church was cut off, some of the Troops immediately took up the vanguard role for the Nature Sect.
It was relatively easy to chase after a defeated army. This was the kind of battle mercenaries were best at.
The nobles in the north of Qin Yin who were still holding on were now in trouble because of Alchemy City. In the beginning, Alchemy City assisted in defending the cities of these nobles. Of course, it was not unconditional. Now that the Nature Religion appeared, the mages of Alchemy City asked the nobles to stop the Temple Knights from entering.
Conflicts were inevitable. Because Holy Rock City did not issue an order for the Nature Religion to break the law, these nobles did not want to fight with another church. However, the mages of Alchemy City forced the nobles.
With the contract, the nobles could not disobey.
Chasing after the troops of the Holy Church did not cause many casualties. However, fighting with the mages of Alchemy City caused the Nature Religion to lose many mages.
At the beginning of the religion, even low-level mages were very precious.
Under such circumstances, Salin did not go to Pompei directly. Instead, he piloted the floating city and started the battle in the north of Qin Yin.
The battle scene was spectacular. The floating city threw magic fire bombs in the sky, and thousands of mages launched magic attacks. There were also countless puppets throwing rocks in the sky. These rocks were thrown from tens of thousands of meters in the sky, and they were sharper than any catapult.
The nobles of the north could not defend against such an attack.
The mages of Alchemy City were unable to stop Salin's attack. Something like the Floating City was a very powerful weapon in ancient times. Now, although it had shrunk by a few hundred times, and its lethality was much lower, to ordinary armies, the Floating City was synonymous with disaster.
The mages sent by Alchemy City were all Magic Shooters. However, the thousands of servants in the floating city, with the help of the magic net, were all Magic Shooters. This kind of power could only be resisted by those who were a whole level above them.
Alchemy City had enough powerful mages, but they had not thought of fighting with Salin. Even if they wanted to, they might not be able to catch up to Salin. The number of people who could catch up to Salin was limited. If they did not have enough people, they might not be Salin's match.
The floating city was such a detestable thing. As an enemy, the shock of seeing such a huge city flying towards them could not be suppressed.
Moreover, Salin's floating city spanned 36 miles. Such a huge thing, let alone throwing rocks on it, even if it landed on the ground, it would be enough to crush any city.
Salin really did it. A local noble slaughtered hundreds of believers of the Druidic Order. Salin immediately flew the floating city above the noble's city and landed.
The city was reduced to dust.
From then on, the nobles of the north no longer had any decent resistance. The mages of Alchemy City held the contract, but it was useless. The nobles could no longer defeat Salin, unless the mages and army of Alchemy City were mobilized.
The army of Alchemy City was not large, less than 100,000, but the number of mages was more than the army.
The problem was that a strict contract had been signed between Alchemy City and Holy Rock City. The mages of Alchemy City could be mobilized, but the army could only defend the city or fight on the sea with warships.
It was not that the mages of Alchemy City did not fly up to attack Alchemy City, but the altitude at which Alchemy City flew was taboo for the mages. There were not many who dared to fight seriously, and they were all killed by the Necromancers. Those who were slightly slower were blown to pieces by magic on the spot.
Once Salin's floating city was mobilized, it immediately wiped out the north of Qinyin in an unstoppable manner.
Fortunately, because of Rex, the resistance of the nobles in the north of Qinyin was not fierce enough. Otherwise, Salin would probably have massacred cities one by one.
Even when the Holy Church was in power, Alchemy City had not suffered such a crushing defeat. Now, they had to swallow the bitter fruit of defeat, because Salin's floating city had unparalleled destructive power against the secular army.
The mages of Alchemy City retreated, and Salin's floating city flew to the ruins of Pompey.
Pompey did not need to rebuild it. Salin just used the thunder puppets to repair the city walls on the original site. The walls were also built like a work of art, using a lot of precious stones.
The rebuilt walls were not a regular square, but ten miles in circumference. The walls were covered with carved murals, and the explanatory text on them described the history of Pompey.
To the east of the city, a tall monument was built. The monument was carved with millions of names. This was the information of everyone that could be found in Pompey's household register.
Alchemy City destroyed Pompey, but the magic information was preserved. The names and identities of these people were described as much as possible by Salin on the monument. Around the monument was a graveyard in the style of Qinyin, where all the bodies that could be collected were buried. All the graveyards themselves were magic arrays, including the monument, which was also part of the magic array.
Salin had the floating city, and it was very easy for a controller to cast magic from hundreds of meters in the air to set up all this.
Because the north of Qinyin suffered a heavy blow, Alchemy City did not even send out mages to cause trouble for Salin. There was no need. Salin's strength had soared to a level that Alchemy City had to take seriously.
But Salin did not let it go just like that. He sent a follower of the Druidic Order to Alchemy City to ask for a refund of the house he had bought. Alchemy City was disgusted by Salin. They sold their houses to make money, of course. In order to stay in Alchemy City, the mages could only endure it no matter how much money they had to spend.
Now that there was Metatlin City as a competitor, the mages had a place to go, and the houses in Alchemy City could not be sold at a high price.
But Salin asked for a refund at the highest price. Alchemy City was now Salin's enemy. Salin's request was definitely a provocation.
But with the contract, if Alchemy City did not refund, Salin naturally had a reason to cause trouble for Alchemy City.
Alchemy City was disgusted, but they could not go back on their word. They could only return the money to Salin and take back the house. But the worst thing was that this follower of the Druidic Order could not leave Alchemy City. His money was robbed, and he died in front of the Magic Tower of the Elemental Hand.
The killer was a powerful assassin. Alchemy City turned upside down, but they could not find this person.
Then, Salin asked for an explanation from Alchemy City.
Alchemy City was not willing to take this kind of silent loss. Salin was straightforward. He flew the floating city to the area controlled by Alchemy City, and dropped poison on all the farmland in Alchemy City.
The poison was not strong and could not kill people, but it could cause crops to be unable to be produced for more than ten years.
After doing this, Salin left happily. He took Shika to the Abyss King City through the teleportation formation. On the other side of the teleportation formation was a huge island on the periphery of the Frozen Sea. The Winged Skeleton had transformed this place into the Island of the Dead. The Winged Skeleton's warship was also patrolling nearby.
"Master, why didn't you bring Nelis?" The Winged Skeleton asked Salin on the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship.
