There were people in charge of cleaning the square every day. Salin stood on the steps of the temple and looked down at the five hundred soldiers gathered in the square. He sighed inwardly — it was still too little!
Looking at each face, Salin saw the familiar Conan. He led two hundred barbarians and stood quietly next to the skeleton warhorse, looking up at Salin on the steps.
The barbarians were not without order, but they had been oppressed for too long and had no chance to build their own civilization. After the empires on the continent fought each other, they got tired of this consumption and finally maintained a balance for nearly a thousand years. However, the barbarians did not benefit from this balance.
They had no country of their own, no home of their own. Apart from the ancient legends passed down by word of mouth, there was no other knowledge among the barbarians. They did not have systematic writing.
Conan's body was covered with armor twice as thick as the others. This was specially made for him by Salin. This armor was made from the material of the gold coin turtle and was extremely sturdy. Conan's armor was equipped with skirt armor. When riding a horse, it could effectively protect him from the infantry. On both sides of his skeleton warhorse hung huge weapons: a two-meter-long halberd and a huge triangular iron shield.
The red soul fire in the skeleton warhorse's eye sockets danced. This bit of weight was not too much for the undead. It was very obedient. After being summoned by the King, it was assigned to the Magician on the steps. It was not very intelligent. It could only clearly feel that the Magician could easily kill it and prevent its soul from escaping to the Undead Plane.
All the undead creatures summoned by the King felt this way. This made them tremble in fear when facing the Magician. They did not dare to disobey him.
Salin's left hand was already half recovered. He still wore the magic glove. He habitually flexed the fingers of his left hand and felt the life force in it begin to recover. He could already use the divine spell of the Goddess.
With this hand, he would be able to deal real damage to the undead. Therefore, Salin was at ease to let the summoned creatures of the three Kings help him fight. The undead would obey the strong. For these creatures, he had the power to kill them. Naturally, they would not dare to betray him.
Two six-meter-long magic chariots looked extremely luxurious. Salin had already used magic to conceal the originally dazzling decorations, but judging from the material, these two carriages were still very glaring, and would easily become the enemy's target on the battlefield.
Christian and Daniel stood next to the two carriages, each with four Level-3 Mages. When the undead were summoned to the Myers Continent, they also had to eat. The undead's food was to absorb the energy of the Undead Plane. Without Daniel, these undead warhorses would weaken if they stayed too long.
He could also provide them with a contract space, but Salin would not bear to use so many Green Spirits for more than five hundred Skeleton Warhorses. He did not get many Green Spirits from the Chaos Swamp, so he gave most of them to the Winged Skeleton.
"Geyi!" Salin shouted.
"Here!" Ge, who was wearing a suit of armor, stepped out from the group of soldiers.
"You will be in charge of the war in the south this time. If they encountered Duke Rex, Daniel would be in charge of contacting him. Phoenix is not a peaceful place. What will you do if you encounter harassment? "
"Don't get entangled. Try to reach the southwest border of Phoenix as soon as possible."
"Very good, as long as you remember. If there is an accident and you don't encounter Duke Rex's troops, you must return at the end of May. "
"Yes," Ge replied loudly, one hand on his saber. At this moment, he felt that life was a little interesting. Originally, being a pirate was not impressive at all. He avoided capture everywhere and was afraid of encountering Alchemy City's warships at sea. Now that he followed Salin, he could also lead an army of five hundred people.
"Daniel, Christian, take care." Salin did not say too much to the two Mages. Then, he raised his hand and released a green light into the bodies of every soldier.
It was an unpopular level-one spell, Water Clarity Spell. It did not have very good healing effects and was used to improve the overall quality of a person's body. Salin found this spell and learned it because the spell itself consumed very little Magic Strings.
Every soldier felt that their minds suddenly became abnormally clear, and the strength in their bodies increased. Their gazes toward Salin became passionate.
Salin knew that he was not good at giving speeches, but he learned this from the methods of the Vatican. When the Vatican organized believers, most of them would give out holy water.
The benefits of holy water to the human body were temporary. In the long run, it was not as good as Water Magic. Salin used Water Magic to bid farewell to the soldiers, but his intention was no different.
This was something that could not be helped. Salin did not have the ability to make an impassioned speech in front of so many people. But he did not need to use words to motivate people. Salin's simple level-one spell naturally made the soldiers feel respect for him.
In fact, even the Mages on Seriger Island were surprised. Salin had cast a level-one spell. Even though it did not have high requirements for Magic Strings, Salin had cast it on five hundred people at the same time and had to avoid those skeleton warhorses. How many times did he have to prepare the spell in his hands to be able to do it?
Even Christian knew that he would never be able to do this. Casting a spell on a dozen people at the same time was already his limit. Salin faced five hundred people alone and cast the spell so calmly. He had even surpassed some Magic Shooters.
The troops left the square. Salin watched the first real army that he had created. He breathed a sigh of exhaustion. Sicar supported him from the side. Salin smiled and said, "I'm fine. I'm just a little tired."
A Clear Spell could be cast on twelve people at the same time. Salin had to accumulate more than forty level-one spells to face five hundred people. Even though there was no possibility of the Clear Spell exploding, it was still a severe test for Salin's spiritual power.
Salin was now a little impressed by the Vatican's charlatans. They had been doing this for many years.
"Master, let's go back." Neris urged from behind. She was not interested in seeing him off. But the people around Salin were all there. She did not want to stay in the temple alone.
Zola did not feel anything. He was used to the red tape of the Cloud Flow Court. Salin could be said to be straightforward this time.
Salin looked at the people behind him. There were still more than ten Mages on Seriger Island. Zola, four Beast Swordsmen, two of Sicar's personal guards, and a team of twenty fully armed people.
Shika's personal guards were two young Gaugass. They were wearing Gaugass Armor and had been following Shika the whole time. This made Salin a little unhappy. But it was also because the Caucasians were worried about the safety of their priests. Salin could not refuse. Even though these two Caucasians did not practice any sword aura, their combat power was similar to his four Beast Swordsmen.
"I'm going out for a walk. You guys go ahead."
"I'm going too." Sicar and Neris said in unison.
"Okay." Salin did not refuse. With these two people around, he felt safe. But the two burdens behind Sicar followed him closely, which made Salin feel helpless. Luckily, these two would not follow Sicar at night. Otherwise, Salin would not even have the chance to be intimate with Sicar.
Salin set off on foot, heading east. He didn't use any magic, and it took them an hour to reach the harbor. Along the way, Salin observed the progress of the city. The skeletons were obviously not good at meticulous work. There were good foundations and roads everywhere, but there were not many houses. Along the way were trees left from the original forest.
When passing by Ainphent's mansion, Salin saw that the door was open, but there was no one inside. The whole city was cold and quiet. No one knew when it would be noisy again.
There were patrolling soldiers at the harbor. When they saw Salin, they all saluted. Apart from these soldiers, there were only puppets clearing the snow and a magic apprentice on the dock.
Salin looked around and suddenly pointed at an empty space. He said, "I want to build a shop here, specializing in selling our own unique things."
"Unique? Master, you're not going to abandon Ainphent and Helene, are you? "Neris keenly sensed something strange. Salin had never gone back on his word. However, the only thing he had was something he had hunted in the Frozen Sea. In the future, this hunting ground would be opened to Ainphent and Helene. Salin would only charge them a toll.
"How is that possible? Neris, you have to be trustworthy. But to maximize the profits, I don't think we should let them sell their things separately. I'm thinking what characteristics this city has to attract merchants from the continent. Deep sea monsters are obviously the best choice. "
"Master, what if they don't agree?"
"Disagree? Then they have to have more ships than me. When all the forces of Seriger Island arrive, can they still earn this money without me? "
Neris rolled her eyes and said, "But, Master, Ainphent is your friend. You're doing this …"
"Ainphent is my friend, so the only trouble left is Helene. Neris, you haven't looked for her recently, right? "
Neris shook her head. Ever since the incident on the ship, she had lost interest in Helene. She found that this woman could not have any influence on Salin.
"Well, this city will be called Metatlin City from now on. What about the trading firm? To save some trouble, let's call it Metatlin Trading Firm. All the items obtained from the Frozen Sea will be sold at Metatlin Trading Firm. This is the best location near the dock. Others can't compete with me. "
After Salin finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at the towering white mountain on the left. He thought, If I build this place according to my way, there will be a lot of spies. I should think of a way to protect that magic cannon. It's impossible to protect the magic cannon by relying on Truman, but I can't let a Great Mage be stationed there all year round.
These messy things are really annoying. Who can do these things for me? Who can make me feel at ease? Rex's people definitely can't do it. No matter how close I am to Rex, I'm still an outsider to Rex's subordinates.
Salin frowned deeply. Snow began to fall from the sky again. But the harsh winter had passed, and the snow now was much finer. It was no longer in large patches.
"Sir, look!" A soldier pointed at the frozen sea. A man was walking over from the sea. His footsteps were unsteady, as if he would fall at any time. Salin was happy. My city is still very attractive. Not long after it was built, many people came here. I wonder what this person does.
