[Let me add that these four chapters are not considered as today's update, but as compensation for yesterday's update. There are two more chapters today.]
The black-robed wizard reservedly said: "Your Excellency, it is not convenient for us to participate in this. His Majesty will be angry if he hears it."
The customs of the East Island State were different from those of the Myers Continent. The status of wizards was not particularly high, and wizards could not have any command in the army. Only professional soldiers could participate in the battle. However, mages were still respected because of their powerful combat power and profound knowledge. The Supreme General smiled awkwardly and said: "Wizard, we don't need to be polite. According to the investigation of the flying puppets, the enemy's city is not small, but it seems that the construction has not been completed. Can we land from another place, bypass this port, and attack on land?"
The black-robed wizard shook his head and said: "Your Excellency, this frozen sea is about a hundred miles away from the land. If we land from another place, we will have to split up. The distance is too far, and it is difficult to contact each other. The people of the Myers Continent like to build fortress-like towns outside the city to guard the four sides. "
"I understand. If we have twice as many soldiers, splitting up is a good choice. Then, I will wait for the wizard regiment's war chariots to be completed, and then attack from the port." The Supreme General glanced coldly at the subordinate who had just interrupted. The general shivered and lowered his head.
In the eastern island countries, the hierarchy was very strict, and the superiors had the power to kill the subordinates. Although few people would do this, he did not dare to continue to speak.
The black-robed wizard did not continue to speak. Although he did not care that someone would go back and speak ill of him in front of His Majesty, he still had a complete wizard regiment under his command. If he offended these soldiers, there would definitely be people in the wizard regiment who would take the blame for him. Youxi Marceau was not a cold person. He had always loved his own wizard regiment. This was somewhat different from the people of the eastern island countries. He envied the customs of the Cloud Flow Empire, or the Fourth Dynasty.
The subjects were loyal to the master, and the master had to protect the interests of the subjects. That was a perfect era. When the coalition forces attacked the Myers Continent, he would have enough land to build a huge city and establish his own wizard clan.
After the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship entered the ice layer, it quickly reached its maximum speed. It only took more than an hour to return to the boathouse under the port. Salin left with Shika and the others, leaving the five Mages and Nelis to attack the fleet. Sarin did not care who the enemy was. Since they had killed a swordsman from Seriger Island, they would not rest until one of them was dead. Even if these people returned the battleship to him, he would not let them go.
There was a secret passage in the warehouse that led directly to the ground. As soon as Salin's alchemy ship entered the boathouse, Christian in the Temple noticed it. This was the right that Salin had given him before he left. He could take over some magic matrices that only he could use.
"Lord Salin has returned, quickly send someone to welcome him." Christian was overjoyed. Although he had successfully repelled the enemy's attacks several times, he knew that it was just the enemy's probing. The real attack had yet to come.
He didn't have many soldiers on hand. Some of them had to be stationed at the harbor, while the others had to be stationed at the north side of the city to prevent the enemy from coming ashore from the north. The four hundred Gaugass Demon Wolf Cavalrymen were also scattered, giving Christian a headache. This was because if one side was in a pinch, it would take time to send reinforcements from the other side.
Salin's army was not weak, but they did not have a proper cavalry. Although the skeletal horses were useful, they could only be used for traveling. Salin had not undergone cavalry training yet.
Cavalry's fighting style required special training. Having a horse did not make one a cavalry. If a normal swordsman did not have special skills, there was a high chance that he would injure himself when charging with a lance. As soon as Salin returned, Christian immediately found his backbone. Moreover, if Shika also returned, the Gaugass would go all out and send out all their soldiers. With the addition of the Gaugass, it was much easier to set up a defense line.
Salin first met Daniel at the harbor. Daniel looked haggard. The enemy's attacks did not have any pattern. He was responsible for the defense of the harbor and had not slept well for half a month. The enemy seemed to know when to attack and disturb the defense's rest. There was no other way. There were too many enemies, and the one thousand people at the harbor could only be divided into two groups at most. Each group had to last for twelve hours.
Because of this, Daniel had to let Petheus go to the battlefield early to avoid casualties.
Of course, Petheus had killed the enemy until there was a river of blood, but the enemy's mage had escaped and injured Petheus with magic. Although Daniel felt sorry for him, he could not let Petheus rest.
Seeing Daniel's blood-red eyes, Salin patted him on the shoulder and said, "You've worked hard. Zola, stay here and take over Daniel's commanding position. Daniel, return with me and discuss how to deal with these enemies."
Daniel looked at Salin, a mage younger than him, but his heart calmed down. His fatigue had almost disappeared. Salin was now everyone's backbone. When he returned, the warriors at the harbor also cheered, as if the problem had been solved.
Salin's heart was heavy. He did not have many soldiers at the moment. They were mostly pirates and swordsmen from Serrig Island. There were many barbarians, but they were strong individually and weak in teamwork. The Gaugass were of better quality, but when Shika was not here, they would not contribute for the time being. Salin had not given them the corresponding status, and they did not know what to do.
Bringing Shika away was a little careless.
"Sir, I'm only a swordsmanship teacher, not a general. When it comes to commanding troops, I'm not even as good as those magical beast swordsmen," Zola said to Salin with a troubled expression. He was not trying to shirk his responsibility. This line of defense was very important, and he was afraid of killing these soldiers.
"It's fine. Just continue to defend according to Daniel's plan. We'll counterattack at night. You don't have to hold out for too long. Ainphent, Helene, move your men to the harbor to defend the back of the line of defense. Shika, return to the southern courtyard first and contact your warriors. I need 600 heavy infantry. Bring them to the hall, I'll prepare armor for them. "
When Salin finished giving his orders, a low-level mage called Sumer had already come to the harbor to welcome him. Salin saw the carriage, but he did not get on it. Instead, he buffed himself with Cloud Walking and flew into the air. He said to Sumer on the ground, "Follow me back." “
Seeing Salin fly away in the air, Sumer swallowed his saliva in envy. He knew that Salin was only a 5th Rank Mage, but he had such powerful flying abilities, while he could only move slowly on the ground. He couldn't even cast an effective Wind Speed spell on himself.
Ainphent and Helene returned to their mansions, and Shika did not look at Sumer's carriage. She called over a Gaugass Wolf Rider patrolling in the distance and asked for his wolf before rushing back to the southern courtyard where the Gaugass people lived.
These magic wolves were faster than warhorses for short distances, and slower for long distances, but they were very patient. Magic wolves were not high-level magic beasts, but they could follow their targets for days and nights in order to hunt. As soon as Shika sat on the back of the magic wolf, it galloped as if it was flying.
Magic wolves were loyal creatures. If someone else sat on them, they would be flipped over and their throats would be bitten off. However, the Battle Priest Shika just whispered something in its ear and the Demon Wolf obediently left with Shika. That Gaugass Warrior also had a worshipful expression as he looked at Shika's back.
He really wanted to have a chance to be intimate with the priest, but the priest seemed to like that Mage. Sigh, it would be great if he was a Necromancer. I heard that Necromancers can't have sons.
The Gaugass warrior shook his head regretfully. Even if the Mage couldn't do it, he wouldn't have a chance. There were two young and powerful warriors in the tribe, and they were the priest's most loyal guards.
If Salin knew what the Gaugass was thinking, his nose would be crooked from anger. But Shika's identity was like that. Even if she looked uglier than a demon, there would still be countless Gaugass people who wanted to have a child with her. This was the most primitive belief, a custom that had been passed down for tens of thousands of years.
There were all kinds of magic arrays in the temple in the center of the city, and there were more than a dozen teleportation arrays. The materials that Jason had given Salin could be counted as his hard-earned capital. The place where Salin usually stayed had many transmission arrays that could communicate with important places in the city.
Usually, there was no need to be so extravagant. But when war broke out, it was a very effective way of communication. It could let the central command be passed down quickly.
Christian was waiting outside the temple when he saw a thick cloud quickly flying in the sky and swooping down from the sky.
"Sir, you're finally back!" Christian couldn't contain his joy and went to welcome him.
"Yes, let's talk inside. Did anyone get hurt?"
Christian's eyes reddened. "More than a hundred swordsmen died."
"I saw the corpses. I'm going to organize a counterattack immediately," Salin said as he walked into the temple. On the first floor of the temple, Salin saw two Gaugass warriors in luxurious armor with dozens of young Gaugasses.
"Why are you here?" Salin asked.
The two Gaugass warriors were Shika's guards. They were stunned when they saw Salin. The two could be considered mature. They didn't immediately question Shika, but instead answered Salin's question, "The High Priest told us to guard this place before you return."
"Shika is back. You don't have to go back first. Come with me. She'll come." Salin went up to the second floor. There was a model of the entire city on the second floor, as well as a transmission array that could communicate everywhere.
Salin came to his huge room and asked everyone to sit down. Then, he activated a magic array on the table and started talking to all the transmission arrays.
