[First Update]
In the minds of Salin and the Ironblood Grand Duke, killing Inpos was a very important matter. If Inpos was an ordinary wizard, it would be fine. However, he was a powerful alchemist who could create magic equipment with great lethality. Such a man-made disaster would cause great harm to the empire.
However, the most important thing right now was to overthrow the Holy See. There was not enough time.
Under the island that carried the sea palace, the level of the monsters was too high, and there were too many of them. Salin felt that the rules of the Myers Continent were loosening.
This was a sign. After the last sign, the Myers Continent advanced in less than a year, and a true level 10 expert appeared, who didn't need to seal their strength.
The Ironblood Grand Duke was a level 11 True Martial. Of course, he understood the crux of the problem. If he could get the corpses of the monsters in front of him, it would naturally improve the fighting strength of the army. Moreover, in his family, he was the only true Dragon Knight. With the magic nucleus and other materials of these high-level monsters, it would not be difficult to lure a few dragons to sign a contract.
Signing a contract with a dragon was mostly because of the bloodline, but dragons also hoped for benefits and face. This was almost the same as getting married. If the betrothal gift was too little, how could the dragon bow down?
Salin had a plan. Although the Filthy Blood Armor was good, it was only used by martial artists between level 9 and level 10. After level 11, the Filthy Blood Armor would not be of much use, and better armor would be needed. The materials of these monsters were suitable for True Martial experts like Zola and Sue. In the Temple of the Gods, he had cultivated almost a thousand True Martial experts, among which nearly a hundred were above level 11.
The ratio of one in ten was quite high.
Salin didn't care about the impact of angering these monsters on the continent. The island operated by the Ironblood Grand Duke here was destroyed, and the loss was only in terms of money. A hair of these monsters was more valuable than a pile of gold coins. The Duke's investment would definitely not go to waste.
Half and half, Salin didn't feel that he suffered a loss this time.
The entire island was still splitting and collapsing, and the buildings on it could not be preserved as they sank to the bottom of the sea. The experts around Salin didn't dare to put them into the sea. The only way to kill these monsters was to anger them and let their strength exceed the scope allowed by the Myers Continent.
Such a battle was extremely dangerous. Salin even let Nelis and the Winged Skeleton return, leaving only Raphael, whose speed was about the same as his.
With the help of the rainbow dragon, the Grand Duke was able to suppress the speed of the monsters, so he was not afraid of being entangled by the monsters. The three of them chased the monsters that had just broken out of their shells, killing them one by one and putting them into Raphael's space.
This kind of battle really trained his soul power. Salin felt that his soul power had transformed in just a few hours. It was even more effective than the last month of training in the Temple of the Gods.
Fortunately, the monsters had just been born and their strength had not increased to a reasonable level. Furthermore, they were affected by the rules and were restrained by the power left behind by the silver fish's parents, so they could not leave the bottom of the sea for the time being. Otherwise, these monsters would scatter or rush out of the sea to attack the floating city, and Salin would suffer huge losses.
Slowly, the whole island sank to the bottom of the sea. None of the monsters escaped. Their mission after hatching was to become nourishment for the big silver fish.
Salin then released the Thunderbolt Warrior and began to clean up the seabed. He had seen the Grand Duke's combat skills. The Dragon Knight was indeed tough, and the attack power of the Dragon Spear was not much different from Raphael's.
If Salin hadn't advanced to level thirteen, there would really be nothing to talk about with the Grand Duke.
Such a True Martial expert who had signed a contract with two dragons was considered a top existence on the Myers Continent. Especially the two dragons he had signed a contract with, one was good at physical attacks, and the other was good at magic attacks. When encountering different enemies, the Grand Duke could naturally choose different mounts to fight.
Although the Grand Duke had experts under him, he had taken refuge in the floating city at the beginning of the battle and was too embarrassed to clean up the battlefield at this time. The Duke accompanied Salin out of the sea and watched from midair as the Lightning Warriors transported the supplies to the floating city one after another.
The monsters' corpses, however, were in Raphael's space. Salin didn't mention it, and neither did the Grand Duke.
The hundreds of thousands of Thunderbolt Warriors were originally mechanical puppets and had extraordinary strength. Under the cover of the Thunderbolt Stars, each of them could fly while carrying a weight of thousands of kilograms. There weren't many valuable things on the Grand Duke's island, because the island was built to suppress these eggs that were about to hatch and profit from them.
When it was built, they had thought of this day.
These buildings were destroyed, but most of the materials could be recycled.
In the end, the Winged Skeleton began to summon the undead and let them carry the eggshells. Not to mention the hardness of the eggshells, the cracks on them were all natural. External attacks would almost never break these eggshells.
Apart from the scales of the silver fish and the monsters' corpses, the most valuable thing was these eggshells.
Among the hundreds of eggshells, there were still a dozen that hadn't broken. However, the creatures inside had problems during the growth process and had already died. The Winged Skeleton unceremoniously threw these eggs into its own plane, not planning to share them with the Grand Duke.
These eggs could hatch in the Undead Plane, and the hatched creatures would directly become powerful undead.
The jade skeletons didn't have suitable mounts yet. The Winged Skeleton wanted to benefit his subordinates and didn't care if the Grand Duke suffered losses.
The Grand Duke wasn't at a disadvantage. He also knew that it was because of Persia's mess this time. If not for Salin's arrival, he would have lost everything.
After cleaning up, Salin and the Grand Duke flew back to shore. They didn't choose to stay in Lianyun City. The floating city was too big, so they could only find a remote wilderness to land.
The floating city also consumed magic cores to fly in the sky. Salin wanted to save as much as he could. They were going to attack the Tanggulas Empire next, and every minute would cost money.
If he wanted more human warriors to survive, he had to improve the quality of their equipment and invest in more magic equipment, puppets, and so on.
After landing, Salin and the Grand Duke split the spoils of war. The Grand Duke didn't do much and only killed a little more than thirty monsters. However, they had agreed beforehand that they would each take half, and Salin refused to go back on his word.
After dividing the monster corpses, Salin said, "Duke, the eggshells …"
The Grand Duke smiled bitterly. "Of course the eggshells aren't spoils of war. They're all yours."
Salin nodded. "That's good. However, Persia ran away, and you don't have any good alchemists under you. If there's anything you need my help with, just tell me."
It was the first time Salin had been so generous. The Grand Duke was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "Alright, I'll go count the materials. It's indeed difficult for me to deal with these."
Actually, with the power of the Grand Duke's family, it wasn't impossible to refine all these materials, but who knew how long it would take. Salin said that he wanted to attack the Tanggulas Empire. This was a great thing.
The Grand Duke had long since wanted to attack where the Church was. The Tanggulas Empire's climate wasn't bad, but it produced little food because most of the fertile land had been occupied by the Church. The farmers weren't farmers, but slaves.
The slaves' output was more than half that of normal farmers. Coupled with the increasing number of homeless freemen, the Tanggulas Empire never had enough food and had to buy it from outside.
The Church would also sell food, but the price was a few times higher.
Just like that, a huge empire was sucked dry by the Church, becoming weaker and weaker. At the beginning of the empire, it could still compete with the other three empires, but after a thousand years, the Tanggulas Empire's royal family was nothing but a shell. Most of the nobles wanted to curry favor with the Church, and no one took the emperor seriously.
This was because the Duke's power was actually only in the coastal area. He didn't really attack the mainland of Qin Yin, and was relatively concentrated in Lianyun City. Back then, the Duke had seized this place for the island where the palace on the sea was. He didn't expect the magical beasts hatched in the center of the island to be so powerful. Not to mention taming them, it was already lucky to be alive.
If not for Salin's 24 Thunder Dragons, the Grand Duke could only escape.
Salin simply let the Duke gather his troops and move them all onto the floating city. He let the floating city bring the Duke to the Tanggulas Empire.
The two sides could be considered to have joined forces. Salin's main army was the Devil Army, as well as some Insect Angel Warriors. These troops were also used to attack. With the floating city, no one could stop Salin's footsteps except for cities like Holy Rock City. ,
Salin wanted to destroy all of the God of Light's arrangements on the continent before he came again.
A god without followers without the support of believers would greatly weaken his fighting power.
Salin won over the Grand Duke of Iron Blood, and the Grand Duke also realized that Salin didn't intend to fight for hegemony. Instead, he wanted to train as a mage. That was why he chose him.
The Grand Duke of Iron Blood had about 300,000 soldiers on Qin Yin's side. For a Duke, this was far more than he should have. A Duke like him shouldn't have more than 50,000 soldiers.
Just like that, the Grand Duke of Iron Blood brought 200,000 soldiers onto the floating city. He had the courage to cut off all means of retreat. Because he also knew that if he wanted to fight for hegemony on the continent and expand his territory, a hundred years of hard work would be considered a short time.
Winter's Temple of Nature's Knights met no obstacles in the Jialoulan territory. They headed straight for the Divine Grace Duchy. Because of the Purgatory Desert, they weren't afraid of harassment from Cloud Flow. Within the Divine Grace Duchy, there wasn't much resistance, because Salin had pretty much cleared them out a month ago.
Because of the Church's internal strife and the disappearance of the new Pope, they didn't send troops to reclaim the Divine Grace Duchy.
