[Third Update]
The little girl didn't say anything. She wasn't opposed to Salin, but she would argue when she heard something she didn't like. She didn't understand why Salin didn't kill her. Would Salin really keep his promise?
If he did, then he wouldn't be a demon.
Maybe this was a test given by the gods. The little girl felt much better when she thought of this. The gods wouldn't give up on her. Otherwise, she would've been killed by this demon.
The floating city continued to hunt targets around Calon. The Necromancers were doing detailed calculations and reporting to Salin every hour.
From an economic point of view, this kind of hunting wasn't worth it. Even if the floating city had a false god as its artifact spirit, it would still consume some energy when flying. With this kind of expenditure, it was no different from burning money to hunt some targets that were not even Level 4.
Salin had no choice but to stop. The targets in Calon weren't enough to satisfy him.
A large number of Insectoid Angel Warriors were sent to the ground, as well as demons, to intercept and kill the believers who came to protect the religion.
The principle of these warriors was to only kill those who weren't strong enough. If there were particularly powerful mages, these soldiers wouldn't bother them and would let the powerful mages go.
After all, these people were going to die in Calon, so there was no need to sacrifice soldiers for these people.
In fact, most Insectoid Angel Warriors were above level-seven. That was because of their armor. A squad of forty Insectoid Angel Warriors had no problem dealing with professions below level-eight. Therefore, those who could pass through the blockade and enter Calon were either lucky or above level-eight.
On this day, Salin was forging a spear for Raphael when the Necromancer suddenly sent a message. The Surveillance of the floating city said, "From the west, there's a group of more than twenty thousand well-equipped people.
It's impossible for more than twenty thousand people to fight against the floating city in the wilderness. The images were sent back, and Salin was surprised to see that there were thousands of people in the group who didn't have much fighting power.
And the knights who protected these people were all well-equipped, almost as well as Salin's elites. The knights were riding level-four warhorses. Such a thing only existed in the Roman Catholic Church.
More than ten thousand elite knights and hundreds of mages protected the weak believers as they marched towards Calon.
Salin was about to activate the floating city to meet the attack, but Nicholas said, "My Lord, the Vatican seems to be launching a sacred sacrifice."
"Sacred Sacrifice?" Salin looked at Nicholas, hoping that he could explain. This was because the Holy Sacrifice of the Vatican had many patterns, and as a layman, he could not analyze anything from the looks of these believers.
"A Sacred Sacrifice of more than three thousand people can only summon a God's clone." Nicholas said, "This is the Vatican's insurance. They hope that there will be saints among the members of the sacred sacrifice."
"Saint! Haha, are there any pure people in the Church? " Out of all the people he had met, even Dinicio was not pure enough. The purest person was Faka, but Faka chose to become a god himself instead of serving the God of Light.
"My Lord, look. Most of those people are children." Nicholas pointed at the magical image that the flying scouts had copied and said to Sarin.
Salin felt a chill in his heart. Child? If there were children, there might really be someone close to becoming a Saint.
Saints were also divided into levels. Although the children wouldn't be high-level believers, during the sacred sacrifice, it would be enough as long as there was a Saint.
Was he going to slaughter these children?
Seeing Salin's troubled expression, Nicholas said, "My Lord, these children won't survive this kind of sacred sacrifice."
Salin's anger, which had not been stirred in a long time, was ignited, but he only opened his mouth and did not say anything.
For a mage, sacrificing one's life was not a cruel thing at all.
Seeing so many children, the little girl following Salin was also a little surprised. But then she smiled. That smile was extremely pure. She said to Salin, "If you are a devil, you should kill them. If you are not, you won't attack so many children, right?"
Salin did not reply, but Raphael said, "Are you hoping that Salin is not a devil? This is a betrayal of faith. "
The girl was speechless. Raphael was an angel, and he knew more about the gods than she did.
Now she looked like an angel, the wings on her back stretched out. Standing behind Salin, she made Salin look like a god.
"Let them go, but kill all those knights." Salin finally gave an order that no one understood. Then he said, "Go to Calon City now, and destroy everything that can be destroyed!"
Salin gave the order to massacre the city, and then he told Neris to prepare to purify all the corpses.
His purpose in doing this was simple. Since the Vatican wanted to summon a god's clone, let him summon it. Anyway, the god's clone that was summoned was only at the peak of level-twelve power. No matter how many rules it mastered, it would not be enough for him to gang up on it.
By his side, the Purple Angel was not there, but the three artifact spirits and Raphael were all sealed at the peak of level-twelve power. He, Neris, and the winged skeleton were all at the peak of level-eleven power.
Coupled with the powerful equipment on the floating city, the 360 large thunder dragon spears might not be able to kill a god, but it was enough to make it difficult for a god to get close.
If the plane's power was raised by a large level, he really would not dare to take such a risk.
If he could capture the God of Light's clone alive, whether it was Nicholas or the winged skeleton, they could all be used.
Did the Vatican think that summoning a god's clone could solve the crisis? It was not the first time he had killed a god.
Thinking this through, Salin was in a good mood. He would not touch these young believers at all. Anyway, after the Sacred Sacrifice, these people would not be able to survive.
The power of a god's clone was generally one to two levels lower than the god itself. For example, the God of Light's clone was at most level-fourteen, but when it came to the Myers Continent, it was immediately suppressed to level-twelve.
However, as the clone of a low-level god, the rule power it mastered was very powerful. If Salin was alone, he would not dare to try to deal with it. Now that he had enough strong people on hand, he decided to take the risk and try to kill a real god.
A false god could not be considered a god at all. A god that did not even have a Divine Spark was far from a level-fourteen demigod in terms of combat power.
Salin let Raphael take the insect angel warriors and the devil legion to the ground first, and then the floating city pounced on them, bombarding the powerful knights in the sky.
The thunder dragon spears and the magic cannons fired alternately, which was an unfair massacre.
Salin was rich and had a large number of elemental creatures for him to squander. Elemental creatures were thrown into the magic furnace, which was thousands of times more powerful than magic cores. A low-level elemental creature was enough for the magic cannons on the floating city to fire a volley.
Strictly speaking, the power of the magic cannons was not too great, at least compared to level-nine magic, but those divine knights could rely on the power of the divine knight armor to forcibly resist.
It was just that one magic cannon could resist, but two magic cannons, the divine knight could only face the fate of being blasted away.
Salin now had 3,000 magic cannons installed on the floating city, and there were 1,500 spare ones. If these magic cannons were completely damaged, Metatlin would have probably already made enough replacements.
The materials to make magic cannons were hard to find, but Salin did not need equipment that could be used all the time. These magic cannons were consumables. He had the metallized steel rock from the temple, which was a key material for making magic cannons.
Such magic cannons, if fired quickly, would be useless in two or three hours.
A slow attack wouldn't last more than a few days.
Salin was using the power of all the Mages in Metatlin to deal with these divine knights, who had to protect these saints at first, so they could only take a beating on the ground. Later, the knights discovered that the magic cannons' attacks were not aimed at the believers, but only at the soldiers.
These divine knights immediately activated the divine rune arrays on their armor and flew into the air, wanting to fly to the floating city to fight.
The floating city sped up and flew away. The knights of the Divine Kingdom couldn't pursue it because the Insect Angel Warriors had caught up.
Salin's floating-space city flew straight to Calon City. He wanted to turn Calon City into ruins before the believers arrived. Even if the God of Radiance was protecting the miracles, Salin would still leave him with no subordinates once the God of Radiance descended.
The reason why he wanted to kill all the divine knights was that after the God of Light descended, each of these divine knights' strength would be forcibly raised to the highest level by the god.
That could be level-12.
If there were 10,000 level-12 divine knights, Salin would not be able to beat them at all.
Destroying the corpses was to leave the God of Light with no one to use, and purifying the souls was to make the God of Light a commander without an army after his descent.
He was afraid that there would not be a single saint among the more than 3,000 people.
Salin was now looking forward to fighting a god, and the feeling of fighting a god made his usually calm heart a little excited.
The floating city took more than half an hour to arrive at Calon. The people in Calon did not expect the floating city to really arrive. In the beginning, some people fled, and some came to prepare to be martyred. Later, the floating city only circled around, and many people thought that Salin was afraid and did not dare to come.
So, some of the people who fled also returned here.
Salin's floating city descended, hovering at an altitude of 3,000 meters, and began the destruction of Calon. This was just a job, at least for the Necromancers.
"Do you think there will be saints among those 3,000 people?" Salin asked the little girl. The little girl did not know how to answer.
