[Third Update]
Eleanor could not comfort Salin, so she went to gather the troops. She herself did not control any army, but after her identity changed, she had the Metatlin family crest and did not need any appointment to lead a large army.
The Flying Corps was the Insect Angel Corps. Eleanor summoned the insect angels and brought the archer Qin Yin to the floating city, ready to attack at any time.
Holy Rock City was extremely sturdy, and if the floating city were to crash down, it would be a lose-lose situation. Therefore, if it was not necessary, Salin would not do it. Mobilizing the Insect Angel Army to fight and coordinating with the Weave to attack from above was enough.
The power of the floating city now was much stronger than when they attacked Alchemy City. The number of Manipulators had increased slightly, making up for the losses from the previous few battles.
Outside the Insect Angel Army, Salin asked Neris to gather the Demon Army and prepare to land in Holy Rock City at any time for a ground battle. Anything that his astrology couldn't predict was basically trouble that was difficult to deal with.
Fortunately, the planar rules on the Myers Continent didn't loosen too much. Occasionally, one or two people of the 13th level would appear, but they would immediately be suppressed to the 12th level.
Back then, Faka and Joey were both 10th-tier powerhouses, but they didn't dare to casually use any powerful skills because they would have to go against the laws of the entire plane.
It wasn't until the laws of the plane loosened that powerhouses like Faka and Joey became like fish in water. The 10th-tier powerhouses who later advanced were no match for them in terms of combat power.
Jason was the only exception. Every advancement was at a speed that Salin could not understand.
The Devil Army had always been controlled by Neris at a hundred thousand. These 100,000 demons were an army that Nelis had meticulously built. As long as the Rule Power of the Demonic Plane loosened, these demons would also advance very quickly.
At least for now, Neris had hundreds of Great Demons in her hands. Ten of the Great Demons, who were the leaders of the army, were already at level ten.
After the rules were loosened, even though the power of the Church had skyrocketed, it was the same on Salin's side.
Salin had calculated this back then, which was why he wasn't willing to nurture the Desolate Warriors with all his might. Instead, he wanted the Desolate Warriors to be a transitional force. Because the Desolate Warriors could not be duplicated. There were only a few tens of thousands of them. If Salin wanted to rely on the Desolate Warriors to conquer the world, he would regret it to death.
His own hands were the only things he could rely on.
This was a proverb for Warriors, and it was similar for Mages. Salin believed in magic more than soldiers.
The floating city could now be completely hidden in the clouds, and there was also lightning in the clouds of the floating city, although it wasn't as powerful as natural lightning.
The power contained in these lightning bolts was very weak, and they lasted for less than a second.
Even so, anyone who tried to probe the clouds with their mind power would be blocked by these lightning bolts. The sound of thunder simulated by the artifact spirit was a huge threat to professionals below level-13.
It was fine to use one's mental energy to probe, but if there was a ghost-like creature that used soul force to probe, it would be directly shocked to death by the thunderous sound of the artifact spirit. Although the floating city was huge, no one knew its exact location from then on.
After all, no one could see a cloud in the sky and go check it out. The thunder and lightning in the natural world also caused great damage to one's mind power.
Three hours later, the floating city arrived above Holy Rock City. Dark clouds covered the sky above Holy Rock City, and the floating city hid in the clouds. Salin looked down.
If it were anyone else, they wouldn't dare to survive in a thunderstorm, but the floating city was different. When the lightning struck the floating city, it was absorbed, and then devoured by the Magic Furnace, turning it into powerful energy.
The crystallization of the giant's bones was the most solid earth element. The earth could contain lightning because it was deep and vast. Many of the natural lightning would also enter the earth. Although the floating city was only thirty-six miles in diameter, the amount of earth element in it was even denser than that of a thousand-mile country.
However, the Manipulators in the floating city didn't dare to look down. In this thunderstorm, only Salin's Eye of Lightning and Elemental Eye wouldn't be hurt.
Salin looked down and saw that the sturdy walls of the tall Holy Rock City had been broken in many places, and the large magic equipment on the walls had fallen everywhere. There were no soldiers to clean it up.
Sh * t!
Salin looked at the edge of the city and knew that Holy Rock City was finished.
In the palace at the center of the city, the elemental storm was calming down. Half of the palace had been destroyed. Corpses were everywhere. Salin also saw that in the center of the palace, there were nearly ten thousand soldiers holding on.
These soldiers were dressed like the royal swordsmen. There were also magic chariots among them, and the Mages on the chariots were casting level-10 spells.
Opposite the royal swordsmen …
…
No, the royal swordsmen were surrounded by hundreds of thousands of soldiers. These soldiers were clad in iron armor from head to toe. On the armor, there was a huge pattern of a face.
Demonized soldiers!
Salin had a bad feeling. He looked around, but couldn't find any trace of Rex. Zola, Sue, and even Nicholas didn't leave any information.
Did Rex leave? Then who was the royal swordsmen protecting?
Salin guessed that as long as the emperor didn't die, Rex wouldn't give up on his brother. Even if he could live one more day.
The Royal Swordsman Battalion could still fight against the powerful demonified soldiers, but they were still outnumbered. Salin hesitated for a moment, then ordered, "Isabella, lead twenty thousand insect angels and rescue the few thousand royal swordsmen. Eleanor, don't move. Just protect Isabella. "
Salin didn't send Eleanor to the ground. Although Isabella was level-9, she cultivated both magic and martial arts. Even the golden sword saints couldn't ambush her.
Receiving the order, Isabella rushed down from the clouds with twenty thousand insect angels. These insect angel armor were made by Salin for his soldiers, and could protect them from lightning. Actually, natural lightning wasn't that dense. As long as they didn't use steel armor, they wouldn't attract lightning attacks.
Isabella rode on her elven wings and landed directly in the palace with the insect angel warriors.
"I'm the reinforcements from the Metatlin Kingdom!" Isabella shouted with telepathy. The few thousand royal swordsmen were struggling to hold on. Suddenly, they saw tens of thousands of giant insects flying out of the storm. They thought they were enemy reinforcements, but hearing the female Warrior's shout, the royal swordsmen were instantly excited.
Buzz …
Tens of thousands of insect angels rushed into the demon army. Before the demonized soldiers could react, they were cut into pieces by the wind blades from the insect angels' wings.
This time, the attack directly swept down thousands of demon soldiers. The other ten thousand insect angel warriors pounced on the royal swordsmen. The royal swordsmen were shocked and instinctively wanted to dodge. However, the insect angel warriors stopped in unison. Isabella shouted, "Take you up. Leave the battle to me!"
Only then did the insect angel warriors spread their six long legs, grabbed the royal swordsmen, and rushed into the sky.
The demon soldiers who were cut by the wind blades got up one after another, and their wounds healed quickly. However, most of the soldiers were cut in half at the waist, and some had their necks cut by the wind blades. No matter what, they couldn't be put back together.
Only those with intact bodies could grab weapons and fight back. However, the insect angel warriors released wind blades again, scattering the siege of the demon soldiers.
The thousands of royal swordsmen were scared out of their wits as they were brought to the sky by the Insect Angels. The thunderous sounds in the clouds shook them. These swordsmen were at least Level Five Professionals, and they were all elite soldiers of Sacred Rock City. There were even thousands of quasi-sword saints, but in the midst of the lightning, their faces were ashen.
It wasn't that these soldiers were timid, but rather, it was their first time passing through lightning. Everyone was afraid. Let alone these soldiers, even someone as strong as Salin was trembling when flying like this for the first time. He couldn't keep calm.
Moreover, Salin's flight was at least safe. These insect angels, on the other hand, had to rely on luck. Their armor wouldn't attract lightning, but if they happened to fly in the path of the lightning, they wouldn't be able to defend against the natural lightning.
If the lightning was triggered near them, it would directly turn them to dust.
While escorting the mages, there was a problem. The mages in the magic war chariots refused to let the insect angel warriors carry them. Isabella could only throw out four Elven Wings and let these mages fly on their own. The Elven Wings were made of Thundercloud Wood. As long as they weren't directly hit by the lightning, these mages could pass through the clouds.
But a young mage refused to go up. This mage was a 9th Rank High Mage. He shouted to Isabella, "His Majesty is in the Underground City, quickly go and save him!"
Isabella looked at this High Mage coldly. The High Mage was fearless and stared straight at Isabella.
"Follow me up and tell my master that I'm not familiar with the Underground City and don't have the power to rescue him." As Isabella spoke, she waved at the young High Mage. The young High Mage hesitated for a moment, but he directly flew onto Isabella's Elven Wings.
Both of them could fly, but they didn't dare to pass through the clouds without this equipment.
In the blink of an eye, the insect angel warriors rescued most of the royal swordsmen and returned to the floating city, leaving behind four magic war chariots and hundreds of corpses.
Eleanor floated in the heavy rain. Her Elven Wings were the only real thing that only elves could control. Lightning flashed around her, but Eleanor wasn't afraid at all. She had been guided by Salin's laws of lightning and already knew how to avoid lightning in the rain.
Longbow Seven Nights was held in her hand. The rain couldn't get close to her, forming a spherical dry zone. With her Elven Vision, she could see the ground clearly from such a distance. On the ground, a huge number of crawling monsters were scurrying in the city. Now and then, monsters rushed into the houses on the side of the road, and then there were sounds of fighting or miserable screams from the houses.
Eleanor watched angrily, but she couldn't save anyone. There were too many monsters, and some of them were probably as strong as human level-nine experts. If Eleanor wanted to kill them, she would have to release a powerful attack.
