Even if the war is going to break out tomorrow, Old D will still follow the plan and not drag it out until midnight. Count it as tomorrow. Don't worry, everyone. We're all honest people.
"Sir, something happened to the Purple Angel." Salin's thoughts were interrupted. Raphael had flown back and was flapping his wings lightly, waiting for Salin's reaction quietly.
"You used him as bait, right?" Salin asked casually.
Raphael was surprised. "Yes, I made him turn into a dragon to lure the Hand of Elemental Mages to capture him. Then I followed him in and saw a huge spatial door. "
As Raphael spoke, he casually cast a Light Shadow Divine Spell and copied the scene he saw to Salin.
"Bode's Gate?" Just then, Sephiroth, who had been accompanying Salin, shouted.
"What's Bode's Gate?" Although Salin was a Mage, he had never heard of this term.
"Bode was a powerful Mage from the Second Dynasty. He also practiced swordsmanship. Of course, his legend wasn't recorded in the Mage's notes. To Mages, he was too annoying. However, those who practiced swordsmanship would occasionally know some of his stories, "Sephiroth explained.
"The ruins of the Second Dynasty …" Salin relaxed a little. The Second Dynasty was called the Blasphemy Dynasty and was slightly weaker than the First Dynasty.
As long as it wasn't the ruins of the Goddess, Salin was afraid that the Hand of Elemental Mages would get a share of his luck.
"Salin, the Second Dynasty can't be underestimated," Sephiroth reminded Salin. He saw that Salin was a little distracted.
"Yes, Your Highness, I understand. Do you have any other strong people? "
Sephiroth frowned. Salin still wanted him to help at this time? Many of the people around him had already died.
Seeing Sephiroth's expression, Salin knew that Sephiroth had misunderstood. "Your Highness, I'm a Mage. If you want something, you must pay the same price. Although my forces are scattered, one floating city has a hundred thousand Controllers. It's enough to deal with the battle. I hope that you will also send troops. That way, when I share the benefits with you, it'll be in line with my identity as a Mage. "
Salin decided to use the most direct method to tell Sephiroth that he would not give up unconditionally for attacking the Alchemy City's lair. This was different from helping Sephiroth build a city. After building a city, Salin could build a temple, a port, and a navy. He would be able to share all the benefits in the future.
According to Salin's plan, Sephiroth's territory would be a huge transit station after the Cloud Flow Empire was conquered, and the benefits would be long-term.
,
Apart from the regular army, normal merchant ships that wanted to travel long distances would need to set up supply depots along the way. The location of Sephiroth's territory just happened to be a hub between Cloud Flow and Alchemy City.
As for the sea, that was Salin's exclusive domain. Sooner or later, he would control the Eastern Sea Region in his hands.
But attacking Alchemy City's lair would definitely result in casualties, and the casualties would be huge. If Sephiroth didn't help, Salin wouldn't give him any more benefits.
This was also a good way to consume Sephiroth's strength.
Since Sephiroth hated Alchemy City, he definitely wouldn't care about losses. His subordinates would also risk their lives to avenge their comrades. Even without Salin, Sephiroth would find a way to take revenge later. But now was a good opportunity. Salin was here, and the empire's border hadn't been breached. There was no need for reinforcements for now.
Sephiroth was also a smart man. After thinking for a while, he agreed with Salin.
"I need time to mobilize the army."
"Where? I'll set up a teleportation formation and use the Floating City to bring the army over. It'll take at most a day to assemble." Salin seemed to be even more anxious than Sephiroth.
The purple angel should be fine if he was captured. Even if they found out that he wasn't a dragon, the Mages wouldn't be in a hurry to dissect him. For the Mages, only complete things had research value.
The stranger the purple angel was, the safer he was. Salin was afraid that the purple angel would suddenly explode and escape. If that happened, he might not be able to escape.
The strongest purple angel was only a level-12 puppet, and the Elemental Hands of Alchemy City definitely had someone at level-13.
Bode's Gate was actually a portal that connected to another plane.
The powerful Mages had built this thing to store troops and food. After conquering the enemy's country and building the Bode's Gate, the army would immediately enter.
In battles in other planes, this thing was called the Space Warehouse.
If Salin had the Bode's Gate, he could completely connect to the demiplane. He had to get his hands on this thing.
The consumption of this thing was greater than the teleportation formation. But Salin couldn't always use the teleportation formation to travel between the demiplane and the Myers Continent. Building such a portal, even if Salin wasn't there in the future, he could still mobilize the army in and out of the two planes.
Just because the strong were getting stronger didn't mean that the army was useless.
With the Tainted Blood Armor, Salin could increase the strength of his soldiers to level-9. When ancient humans fought in various planes, their elite soldiers were only level-9.
Sephiroth gave Salin the coordinates of a city. Salin smiled. Obviously, Sephiroth's Mages had already thought of this and needed his help to mobilize the army. Otherwise, by the time the army arrived, his kingdom would have long been destroyed.
Everyone knew how powerful the floating city was. As his allies, they would think of using this equipment.
Salin couldn't use the teleportation formation of the floating city. He asked the Controller of the floating city to immediately build a teleportation formation, and then he flew with Raphael to the coordinates Sephiroth had mentioned.
It was a family city. Sephiroth controlled the House of Commons, and the real elites of the four towns were breached before they could be mobilized to Holy Rock City. This time, it was the same for Sephiroth. If it wasn't for Salin, his capital city would have been destroyed by hundreds of Magic Shooters.
Destroying a city didn't require hundreds of Magic Shooters. Ten were enough. The main thing was that Sephiroth was a powerful Warrior, and the Mages of Alchemy City had to be careful.
In fact, Sephiroth was also trapped in the palace by Magic Shooters. Under the protection of the Magic Tower, he could only shoot some arrows.
He was indeed powerful, but the enemy had many level-10 Mages. Under the siege, it would be difficult for him to survive.
There were too many enemy Magic Shooters. If they attacked him together, he wouldn't be able to break the lock. The floating city had already proved that when high-level spells accumulated to a certain level, even level-10 masters couldn't withstand it.
Although the distance between the two places wasn't ten thousand miles, it was more than eight thousand miles in a straight line. The Qinyin Empire was too big. It would take Salin more than ten hours to travel eight thousand miles.
So, Salin chose a border city with a teleportation formation. It was less than a thousand miles away from Sephiroth's territory. In this place bordering Cloud Flow, the teleportation formation was used to send information.
When Salin arrived at the city, he directly modified the teleportation formation into a magic formation that could transport one person. Then, he left Raphael to guard the place while he took the floating city to the military town Sephiroth had provided.
Salin brought Sephiroth's handwriting, documents, seals, badges, and magic images that couldn't be forged.
Of course, he himself was a guarantee. Things went smoothly. Three hours later, Salin arrived at the military town only eight hundred miles away from Holy Rock City.
Here, he saw the real Qinyin army.
The military town was huge, and there were only about two hundred thousand soldiers stationed there. The armored cavalry Salin saw on the outskirts were just miscellaneous troops, accompanying the training. The real elite troops were stationed on a small plain.
Salin waited for more than an hour with Sephiroth's token. Then, he saw the general of the unnamed military town. The general saw Sephiroth's handwriting and the magic image Salin had recorded. He said, "Your Highness, the Prince's kingdom is under attack. It's not appropriate for us to send troops. Please go back."
Salin's expression turned cold. Looking at the general who was surrounded by soldiers, he said, "Are you going to disobey Sephiroth's order?"
"I dare not, but the paperwork is incomplete. I can't do anything about it. He's no longer the commander-in-chief of the army. The House of Commons has stripped him of that title. You still don't know, "the general replied coldly.
"What do you mean by incomplete paperwork!"
"Let the Prince return to Holy Rock City and talk to His Majesty. I think he can still be the commander-in-chief. Without this authorization, my army won't send a single soldier."
"Your army?"
The general realized that he had said something wrong. At this time, Salin suddenly released a magic image, which happened to be what the general had just said. Salin used magic to record it.
"The army is the country's, not yours. The Prince's territory is under attack. I'm conscripting you to fight. If you refuse … "
The general was slightly angry and said, "I refuse. What can you do about it?"
Salin suddenly realized that he was also the Prince of the Empire and Rex's husband. There was no way the general didn't know this. Since he knew this, he was still so rude to him. It couldn't be because he was at the peak of level-ten True Martial.
Did the Golden Plain control this military town?
There were four such towns in total. They were the four invisible towns and the most professional troops the Empire had raised. All the soldiers had been trained since they were young to ensure that there would be no residual injuries before the age of 16. The soldiers' food was also provided by Mages. It made the soldiers strong enough without harming their foundations.
Salin calmed down and said, "What's your name?"
The general said indifferently, "Mephisto. You don't need to know my surname."
"Okay, Mephisto. I'll tell Rex that you died in the line of duty." As Salin spoke, he released the power of his domain. The entire room was enveloped in electricity.
Then, Salin shot out all the lightning and icicles. Mephisto looked at Salin in shock. He couldn't believe that this Prince of the Empire dared to kill him. What was even more difficult for him to accept was that after Salin released his domain, even his soul trembled. He couldn't resist.
This was a new ability that Salin had learned, Soul Intimidation.
Different from Thunderclap Intimidation, this ability was only effective against people of a lower level, but the effect was very obvious.
