"Alright," Salin agreed. He couldn't give nothing to the Duke. The Duke had lost a lot of people waiting for him and Inpos. Even if the Iron Blood Duke didn't do anything in the end, he still had to get a share.
Boss had not retreated from the beginning to the end of the battle. Salin had promised him one-fifth of the spoils, not less. Salin himself had gotten more, three-fifths of the spoils.
The Flamewing Monkeys were high-level Protoss. Salin kept 172 of the 280 Flamewing Monkeys, and the rest was divided between the Duke and Inpos. The Duke's dragon had returned to the summoning space. His Dragon Knight armor was taken off. He looked at Salin and said, "Are you interested in the bone dragon down there?"
Salin shook his head. "No. That thing is either Level 13 or Level 14."
"You can't kill it?"
"Maybe, but if it's killed, Alchemy City will be safe."
"You're not worried that the bone dragon will rush out of Alchemy City and start a massacre on the Myer Continent?"
"Not at all. This thing will stay in Alchemy City and won't leave."
"Why?" The Iron Blood Duke was curious.
Inpos explained, "The bone dragon isn't a real dragon. It doesn't need to breed, so it's the most comfortable here. If it kills everywhere, it'll attract attention. This thing is very smart. At the very least, it will wait here for a few years and build an undead city before considering whether or not to expand its territory. "
Salin added, "The power on the Myer Continent is too unstable. I'm guessing that for this bone dragon, only the space around Alchemy City is the most suitable for it to survive. If it changes places, the energy changes will be huge, and it won't be comfortable."
The Iron Blood Duke nodded, indicating that he understood. As long as the bone dragon didn't leave Alchemy City, it was fine. Alchemy City was remote, but if one went down the coast, they could reach Yunliu. If they went up, they could go to Qin Yin. There weren't any obstacles on land. It was useless. With the bone dragon's flying speed, mages below Level 10 couldn't even think about escaping.
The three didn't think Alchemy City could kill the bone dragon. The best way was to abandon the city and escape. Anyway, the bone dragon was still adapting to the Myer Continent and didn't like to chase after these mages. If they escaped now, Alchemy City could preserve much of its strength.
"We won't leave first. we'll stay here and watch. Duke, is there anything else? "
The Ironblood Duke nodded without batting an eyelid. Inpos thought for a moment, then said, "Duke, I wish to return to the sea palace."
"What if something happens here?"
"You can use the teleportation formation to summon me. I'll come immediately." Inpos was eager to repair his soul. He was still a little afraid to do so on Salin's floating city. This was because he had absolutely no ability to protect himself while his soul was being repaired. One had to be wary of others, because Persia was not naive enough to think that Salin was his friend.
Moreover, his soul had reached a point where it had to be mended. If he didn't think of a way to treat it, he wouldn't be able to control it. At that time, one soul would really be split into two and still have to use the same body. At that time, his temperament would change greatly, and he would not be able to control what he did.
Obtaining a Fear Angel was perfect for repairing his soul.
Inpos left with his twelve Predators, and the rest of his men were left to the Ironblood Grand Duke. The floating city hovered in the sky, ready to take advantage of the situation. Although the Bone Dragon was powerful, it did not dare to fly in this heavy rain.
The power of thunder and lightning in the clouds and rain could destroy its soul.
Moreover, with the Salin family's badge in hand, he was confident in the Bone Dragon. However, the Bone Dragon had brought countless half-dead, and he was not interested in eliminating them. The half-dead were too slow to harm, and the Alchemy City Mages would also kill some out of greed. Salin was not in a hurry. What he needed to do now was to quickly redesign the equipment for his army.
The Insect Angel Armor was indeed excellent and had great lethality. However, Salin could not only develop the Demon Army, but also make equipment for his elite army.
The only armor suitable for humans was the Tainted Blood Armor.
Originally, Salin could not make the Tainted Blood Armor because he lacked the raw materials, and his own level was not high enough. Now that he had the method to make the Tainted Blood Armor, and had obtained countless materials from the Astrology Tower and the Goddess' Temple, it was enough to start building his own army.
Moreover, Salin did not plan to duplicate the Tainted Blood Armor. Although humans back then were much more capable than the Mages of today, the creation of armor was not based on precision.
To put it bluntly, the performance of the armor back then was strong, but it was still a little rough.
These two points did not contradict each other, because the quality of the human warriors back then was too good. An elite soldier was at least Level Eight. The requirements for wearing armor were very low. Even 50 kilograms was not considered heavy armor.
There were no more than five thousand soldiers under Salin who could meet these requirements, and the number of his human army had already exceeded five hundred thousand.
Among a hundred soldiers, only one was suitable to wear the Tainted Blood Armor.
If they could only use the defensive power of the Tainted Blood Armor, Salin might as well make other magic armor. The effect would be similar, and there would be no need to waste the manpower and material resources of the alchemy factory.
Salin wanted to redesign the armor, and he absorbed all the magic knowledge he knew. The equipment was also different from the ancient times. In ancient times, these soldiers were tools to conquer planes, and the enemies they dealt with were not high-level. High-level enemies would be dealt with by the strong.
What Salin needed to do now was to make the soldiers the decisive force on the battlefield.
As soon as Inpos left, Salin destroyed all the miniature alchemy machines left by Inpos, and then said to the Iron Blood Grand Duke, "Duke, this Alchemy City is finished. What are your plans?"
"What plans?"
"Faka invited me to deal with the Devil's Plane. Have you made up your mind?"
"I'll go. Devils like to kill, unlike the undead. If the devils really rush to the Myers Continent, our country will suffer. "
"But Faka can't be trusted."
"I know, but Salin, my family has been passed down for thousands of years, and tens of millions of people rely on my family to live. I can't just ignore it."
"Okay then, Duke. Now I need time. From September to December, I need to improve my strength. I can't make armor for you myself. I have to ask my teacher for help."
"It's okay. I have to go back to Dragon Island too. You … "
"My floating city will either stay here or go to the Rhine Principality."
"This is the armor blueprint I need. Salin, can that monkey replace it?" the Iron Blood Grand Duke asked worriedly. He wasn't a mage, but he knew that many materials couldn't be replaced in the process of crafting.
Salin took the blueprint. Countless runes rotated in his eyes, and he instantly understood the meaning of the armor blueprint. He said to the Iron Blood Grand Duke, "Yes, but I might not give you any leftover materials."
"It's okay. If you can make this armor for me, I'm confident that we can both come back alive from the battle against the devils," the Iron Blood Grand Duke said solemnly. He didn't mention sending Inpos away.
"Of course!" Salin smiled. "If it's not possible, I'll go to the floating city. Those devils can't attack."
"Can I leave my soldiers here to recuperate?" the Iron Blood Grand Duke asked tentatively.
"Haha!" Salin laughed and suddenly stopped. He said to the Iron Blood Grand Duke, "Duke, that's fine too. What else do you want? Just tell me."
"The Insect Angel Armor is indeed powerful, but it consumes too much energy. Is there a substitute?"
"Okay. Leave the Dragon Blood Warriors here. I'll observe them for a month and let the mages check their bodies. Then, I'll customize an armor suitable for the Dragon Blood Warriors."
"What about the cost?"
"It's free. I'm going to train the Dragon Blood Warriors in the future anyway, so I'll do it for myself," Salin said generously.
The Iron Blood Grand Duke hesitated, then said to Salin, "My four mages don't belong to the family. They're my followers. I can't bring them back to dragon island this time, so I hope Your Highness can help me take care of them. "
The Iron Blood Grand Duke was referring to the four magisters. They were all wearing masks and armor, so their ages and appearances couldn't be seen.
The Duke asked Salin to take care of his four followers, but the magisters didn't react at all. They just looked at Salin silently. There was no dissatisfaction in their eyes.
"Do you want my guidance, or do you want to follow me and work for me?" Salin asked straightforwardly.
"Both. I can't bring them back to dragon island, so I need your help. You can temporarily command them. If you're willing, you can also teach them about magic."
"Alright, I'll do it." Salin looked into the eyes of the four magisters as he said this.
The four magisters lowered their heads and bowed to Salin. "Thank you for taking us in, Your Highness."
Uh …
Salin didn't know what to say when he saw the four mages of the same level as him bowing their heads. If they didn't count their equipment, the four mages' fighting ability was lower than his.
Seeing Salin's doubtful look, the Iron Blood Grand Duke could only explain, "Apart from me, the people of dragon island can only leave. Once they choose to leave, they have no right to return. "
"Alright, Duke. I promise I won't let them do dangerous things, but if I'm in danger too …"
"They won't run away. They'll fight with you."
"That's good."
While Salin and the Iron Blood Grand Duke were discussing what to do after they parted ways, the Archangel had already rushed out of Alchemy City with the metal angels. The Archangel felt goosebumps as soon as the bone dragon appeared. It was fear of the bone dragon.
The Bone Dragon might be too lazy to eat humans, but to a Divine Race like her, it definitely wanted to kill her as soon as possible.
After the Archangel rushed out of the city, the suppression of the city domain on her decreased a lot. Only then did she have the mood to look up at the city in the sky. The floating city was now hidden in the dense clouds. Thunder roared and lightning flashed, occasionally revealing its brilliance.
The Archangel looked back at the three hundred metal angels that were still following her. She felt a bit helpless. Apart from herself, all the angels had lost their intelligence. The gods were dead, but she didn't. Instead, she became stronger.
