Salin was disgusted by the disgusting smell of blood. He cast a Cleanse spell and cleaned the two golems at the same time. Washed by the wind-like mist, the golems revealed their pure metal color. The red light in their eyes faded, and they were lifeless.
"Master," Nelis called Salin timidly.
"What is it?"
"Rex seems to be dead." Nelis pointed with her long and slender fingers. At the crossroads, Rex's construct puppets surrounded her tightly. Out of the 150 or so silver-armored swordsmen, only a dozen were still alive. The rest had been burned to ashes.
The black liquid burned very strangely. The swordsmen's silver armor did not move at all. It only burned through the cracks and completely destroyed their bodies.
The eyes of these silver-armored swordsmen were blood-red. Like the golems, they had no emotions at all. They hacked at the golems with their swords, leaving shallow marks on their bodies.
Kill! Kill this female demon!
Over a hundred of their companions had been burned alive. These silver-armored swordsmen had lost their minds. There was only one thought in their minds: kill the woman commanding the metal demons.
If they could still think, someone would attack through the cracks between the golems. Any sword thrown in would be enough to kill Rex.
Rex's waist bent forward, his head hanging on the warhorse's neck. He did not move. The black warhorse snorted uneasily, its front hooves stomping on the ground.
Salin was a bit numb. Nelis's green eyes revealed a trace of coldness. She jumped off the horse and said to Salin, "Master, you should be strong."
With that, Nelis bent her legs and stomped hard on the ground. She jumped nearly 20 meters and crossed the street like lightning. Her fingers bent, she pounced on the silver-armored swordsmen who were attacking the golems.
Salin came back to his senses. He did not expect that he would not be able to calm down in his first real battle. The killing on the battlefield was completely different. Humans were like beasts, or more cruel and crazy than beasts.
"Salin, if you don't like this life, come back to the village with me," Shika said to Salin, twirling the stick in his hand uneasily. The attacking swordsmen had already escaped. Looking at the pile of corpses at his feet, Shika felt that Salin was not in a good mood.
"No, I think Rex's right. Let's go, Shika, let's go help her. "Salin gently kicked the horse's belly and led the horse over the corpses, heading towards the crossroads. Behind him, the red light in the puppet's eyes lit up again. It followed behind the warhorse, its heavy metal boots stepping on the corpse, splattering blood and flesh everywhere.
Salin only took a minute to figure it out. If Rex hadn't dealt a heavy blow to lure out the opponent's main force, and then used a strategy to attract those swordsmen to surround and attack, it would have been very difficult for the four of them to win. The other side had enough manpower. As long as they didn't hesitate to pay the price, their side would reveal a flaw sooner or later.
In the final moments of the battle, he felt that he couldn't keep up with the enemy's attacks. As long as the magic cores of the construct puppets ran out, he would die.
Pity? Salin did not pity these swordsmen at all. He was only afraid that he would get used to this kind of life. He was actually somewhat indifferent to the deaths of those living beings.
It would be great if the whole world was like Kushui County, where everyone had their own things to do and could practice magic in peace. There were no messy mercenary groups, no Vatican, and no unscrupulous merchants.
By the time Salin's horse reached the end of the street, Nelis had already dealt with the remaining dozen silver-armored swordsmen. Affected by Rex's secret technique, these swordsmen's sword aura were like magical beasts that had their magic cores dug out. Also, they were a little confused, and their swordsmanship was even worse than that of ordinary swordsmen.
The red light in the eyes of the ten construct puppets protecting Rex had long been extinguished, and they were motionless. Nelis hugged a metal thigh and moved a Construct Puppet away. Salin carried Rex off the horse, pried open her teeth, and drank half a bottle of magic liquid. This magic liquid was made by Magic Shooters, and Rex and the others carried it with them.
Mages never used the Vatican's holy water. They had better things.
Rex woke up very quickly. She felt that her strength had recovered a little, but she didn't want to move. She looked at Salin, smiled, and said softly, "Are you not used to it?"
"Yes, but this feels better than dying."
"Mmm." Rex moaned and wriggled his body. She had miscalculated. The side effect of activating the secret technique at full power was so great. It seemed that she had to control it as much as possible before she reached the final stage. If it weren't for the construct puppets, the situation would be too dangerous.
"What should we do?" Salin looked around at the empty streets, without a trace of anger.
"Salin, what would you do if you were Dominic?"
"I'd send someone to follow you. If you're caught, they'll bring you back to Pompey. If the people from Dragon Tooth Town fail, you'll definitely suffer heavy losses, or even be seriously injured. It'll be easier to catch you. "
"Pompey's people will be here soon. Dominic isn't stupid. Even if I run away, the rest of the people in Dragon Tooth Town will become his prey. He can legitimately take over Dragon Tooth Town if he dares to attack His Majesty's sister. This is a weapons distribution center. Behind us is Red Copper Castle, and to the west is the mine. Dominic has probably wanted this place for a long time. "
Salin felt a chill in his heart. He thought he was ruthless enough, but he was still far from someone like Dominic. He was the one who ordered the people from Dragon Tooth Town to attack Rex, but no matter what, Pompey was the one who benefited in the end.
"Don't worry. Dominic still has to put up a show. We still have time to clean up the battlefield. Do you remember the locations of the warehouses I pointed out to you? "
"Yes."
"Let's go and empty them."
"Master, let me do it." Nelis reached out to take Rex, who was in Salin's arms. Rex struggled to stand up. When Nelis approached her, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. It felt like she was being stared at by a venomous snake, or like a dangerous magical beast creeping up on her while she was sleeping soundly.
Even Byrne didn't give her this feeling. Nelis clearly didn't have any sword aura in her body.
Nelis giggled, not minding at all. Rex was indeed a level-six Great Mage. He was extremely sensitive to danger. Nelis quietly rubbed her nails on her lapel. Her nails were dark red, stained with the blood of the people she had just killed.
Salin originally thought that since Dragon Tooth Town was so small, there wouldn't be much to gain. He was stunned when he entered the first underground warehouse. Huge wooden boxes were stacked neatly. The boxes were sealed with lead seals, and the specifications and levels of the armors were written on them. He opened a box randomly and saw a tungsten armor that hadn't been assembled yet. There were all the accessories in the box. Armor leaves, nails, leather ropes to wear the armor, helmets, arm guards …
This tungsten armor cost at least a thousand gold coins. As long as it wasn't shot by an alchemy crossbow, it could basically withstand an archer's charge. There were more than two hundred wooden boxes in this small warehouse, and over a hundred thousand gold coins worth of goods.
Rex swept everything he saw into his God Sifting Ring like a whirlwind sweeping away the clouds.
They walked past the warehouses one by one. Before they arrived, the soldiers guarding the warehouses would scatter. There weren't many people left in the town. After this looting, the remaining people didn't dare to stay.
"Why don't I see any gold coins?" Salin had already found more than ten warehouses, but he didn't see any cash. He was a bit puzzled. Did these people bury their money under their beds?
"Weapons are traded with registered receipts. It's useless even if we find them."
"We won't get into trouble if we take things like this, right?" Salin felt uneasy as he had already looted more than a million gold coins worth of armors and weapons.
"Who can prove that we took them?" Rex looked at Salin with an even stranger expression.
"Those soldiers …"
"Dominic wants to take over Dragon Tooth Town. Those people won't survive. He won't sue us for these goods. Don't worry and do it."
"What?" Salin was even more surprised. He couldn't understand.
"If Dominic says that I robbed Dragon Tooth Town, then Holy Rock City will send someone else to take over. If he helps us eliminate the murderer who wants to harm the king, Holy Rock City will recognize his ownership of Dragon Tooth Town. So what if we kill a few people? Dominic is the real murderer. "
"Since you know, then why did you come!"
"Salin, it's them who want to harm me, not me."
"What about these things?" Salin didn't want to blame Rex. Rex was right. If the people of Dragon Tooth Town didn't do anything, this wouldn't have happened. The important thing now was to split the loot.
"You don't have any use for these weapons, do you?" Rex put away the last box of arrows and changed the topic. "How about this? I'll take care of the weapons and magic cores for your cultivation in the future."
"Bribing my teacher with these? That's not enough. "Salin snorted. He had seen the methods of these nobles and felt that he was still too inexperienced.
"Your teacher should be … a partner." Rex smiled. Salin was really vigilant, he thought. But the more Salin was like this, the more she liked him. If Salin didn't mind that she wanted to use Jason, she would look down on him and even abandon him at any time.
Salin didn't continue this topic. He knew that Rex needed his teacher's help, and the Six Dimensional Space in the Hell of Divine Punishment was very important to his teacher. His teacher had more experience than him. He might even become a Magic Shooter faster than Rex. As long as his teacher cultivated in the Six Dimensional Space, it wouldn't be difficult for him to reach level-9.
"Are we going to continue?"
"No. We've already taken all the high-grade goods in Dragon Tooth Town. The rest aren't worth much. We'll clean up and leave. "
Rex's "clean up" was actually to sprinkle incendiary potions on the corpses and cremate them. Salin saw the fire spreading and starting to burn the surrounding houses. He thought that Rex was really petty. With so many houses burned, even if Dominic took over Dragon Tooth Town, he would have to spend a lot of effort to rebuild.
