"Pitiful?" Rex sneered and said, "The Pink Powder Legion has only been established for 20 years. Between God's Grace and Titan, they have killed tens of thousands of people. These women are cruel and merciless. They often massacre an entire village just to take the village's babies. "
"What do they want the babies for?!" Salin had a bad feeling.
"To nurture the legion's future, of course." Rex's voice was trembling.
"The two empires don't care?"
"Of course they do. However, the Pink Powder Legion's hiding place is too secretive, and the area they are active in is between the two empires. The two empires are afraid of starting a war, so they can't send a large army. "
Salin quickly blinked a few times and asked, "The place they're hiding in, could it be …"
"It's our first target this time."
Salin suddenly felt relaxed. So, that genius also obtained the treasure left behind by Goddess Myer, which was why he had such an opportunity. Unfortunately, that person had a bad temperament and couldn't cultivate in peace. In the end, he died and his soul disappeared.
Wasn't he seen as a genius by others? He was already a fifth-level great magic caster before he was 20 years old. However, all of this was a gift from the goddess. If not for that gift ring, he would have died in the Chaos Swamp. How could he be here today?
The location of the temple left behind by Goddess Myer was extremely secretive, and the key left behind by the goddess was needed to open it. Since the two empires couldn't send a large army to search, it wasn't strange that the Pink Powder Legion could survive.
If there came a day when he had nowhere to run, he could enter the temple and close the temple. Unless a god descended into this world, no one would be able to find him.
"The Pink Powder Legion is so powerful. They don't just rely on concealment, right?" Salin asked a key question.
"Yes. In the first few years, the Pink Powder Legion was very arrogant. Later on, they encountered a few troubles and started to restrain themselves. The guy who was struck to death by lightning left behind many magical things. These double-faced iron cavalry were also improved by him. They are many times more powerful than the original double-faced iron cavalry. Later on, the Pink Powder Legion formed their own bandit group and left these messy matters to the bandit group to deal with. They were only responsible for fighting. "
"So, if we want to reach our destination, we must destroy the Pink Army?"
"I'm afraid that's the case. There's probably nothing valuable in the first destination, but the coordinates must be detailed. Otherwise, there will be deviations in our calculations."
Salin nodded, indicating that he understood. If the Main Deity Temple was not in the Purgatory Desert, some deviation would be acceptable. However, in the Purgatory Desert, a single deviation would cost one their life.
"The leader of the Pink Legion is that man's wife. Even two of us Black Iron Sword Saints were unable to stop her. If you encountered her alone, it would be very troublesome. From today onwards, don't stray too far from me. " Rex didn't say it out loud, but Salin knew that if the two Black Iron Sword Saints could hold back the captain of the Pink Powder Legion for even a few seconds, allowing the assassins beside Rex to arrive, then the assassins wouldn't have just injured her.
Rex didn't let the assassins leave because he was wary of this woman.
"You don't have to be too nervous. She was injured by Byrne. She remembers his scent, so it won't be so easy for her to get close to us in the future." Rex immediately comforted Salin when he saw his serious expression.
Salin laughed too. He was too nervous because he knew how strong the assassin beside Rex was. This assassin used all his strength, but still couldn't stop that woman. That woman was definitely not someone he could deal with. However, with an assassin remembering her scent, it would indeed be difficult for that woman to get close to Rex in the future.
"Are we still going to the princess' castle?" Salin thought that Rex had taken this path to lure the Pink Powder Legion out. Now that the two hundred Dual Iron Cavalry had been dealt with, it was safer to turn around and head south. If they went further west, they would be too close to the Tanggulas Empire. Salin was very wary of the Vatican.
"Of course. We won't stay there. I only left money to buy some winemakers and send them to Kushui Commandery. Then, someone will naturally send them to Metatlin City."
"Buy?"
"Heh, not slaves. But winemakers usually have to follow a noble for life, so it's more difficult to hire them. So, I bought some directly from the noble and signed the contract. "
"Princess, we can go now." The swordsmen outside finished disposing of the corpses and didn't find any useful clues.
"Let's go." Rex knocked on the window, but it was her battle puppet that was driving the carriage. The puppet had already set up the carriage. Hearing Rex's order, it raised the horsewhip and made a crisp sound.
This was also one of the benefits of magic chariots. When a sorcerer controlled the puppet on the chariot, the consumption of spiritual power was extremely low. This kind of low-level puppet almost had zero consumption.
The four carriages gradually moved away from the Red Earth Ridge. On a high mountain in the distance, a short figure crouched in a depression and looked down the mountain with alchemy binoculars. She covered her face with a red silk cloth, and her clothes were also red. However, her lower abdomen was dark purple and soaked in blood.
"Rex actually has such a powerful assassin by her side. No wonder she dares to come to this place," the masked woman muttered to herself. Seeing the four carriages go away, she finally sighed in relief. She took off the scarf below, revealing a delicate face. It was impossible to tell her actual age from this face. If one ignored the dust in her eyes and only looked at her skin, everyone would think that she was still a young girl.
The woman sat down and took out a medicine bottle. She poured all the pills inside into her mouth and started to adjust her breath. Byrne only stabbed her with his dagger, and her lower abdomen was already injured.
The wound had already stopped bleeding. The woman slowly closed her black eyes and entered a meditative state.
After Salin's caravan set off, they moved forward at full speed. Although the road here was not as wide as Qin Yin's, it was still as wide as two carriages. It didn't affect their speed at all.
A regular carriage could run at a speed of 20 kilometers, and a special chariot could exceed 15 kilometers. As for a magic chariot, it could even reach a speed of 25 kilometers. However, it all depended on the horses that pulled the carriage.
If it was a skeleton warhorse, 25 kilometers was nothing. However, the horses that Salin had changed to were just regular horses. Although they were tall and strong, their bloodlines were not good. They were all injured after running all the way. Even if they didn't die when they reached the princess' castle, they wouldn't be able to pull carriages anymore.
However, now wasn't the time to cherish the horses. The Pink Powder Legion's first attack had failed. If Salin and the others were too slow, the enemy could easily set up another trap along the way. And this second trap would be targeted at the soldiers and carriages. If the enemy was strong, they had to cut off their wings first. Everyone understood this principle.
Along the way, Rex introduced more about the Pink Powder Legion. The composition of the Pink Powder Legion was very complicated. At its peak, the entire legion had more than 10,000 people. Half of them used to be the private soldiers of the marquis' mansion. The marquis who had been struck to death by lightning was also very good at bewitching people. When he escaped from the Tanggulas Empire, his subordinates followed him to the Duchy of Divine Grace to follow him. After he was struck to death by lightning, these subordinates followed his wife and continued to work hard.
The Pink Powder Legion was built on this basis. After leaving the Duchy of Divine Grace, it had been about 10 years since the Pink Powder Legion completely blocked the border between the Tanggulas Empire and the Cloud Flow Empire.
There were all kinds of talents in the Pink Powder Legion. Many of them snuck into various countries and continued their previous businesses, secretly supporting the Pink Powder Legion. A group of them recruited bandits nearby and expanded the scale of the bandit group. They completely controlled the businesses in this area.
"I reckon that there are spies from the Pink Powder Legion in Gushui Prefecture. This time, the people I brought to Metatlin City are all my old subordinates. Even so, they still discovered my whereabouts. "
"It's okay. I brought all the scrolls this time. No matter how many people they have, they won't be able to withstand our magic." After listening to Rex's introduction, Salin felt relieved.
In reality, the Pink Powder Legion was a group of powerful gangsters who controlled this ungoverned area. They made use of the tense relationship between the Tanggulas Empire and the Cloud Flow Empire to survive. If the Tanggulas Empire and the Cloud Flow Empire were on good terms, both sides would only need to send troops to block the middle. However, it was just a legion of more than 10,000 people. How could they withstand the pressure of two empires?
The Duchy of Divine Grace, on the other hand, was always in contact with the Pink Powder Legion. The Duchy of Divine Grace, on the other hand, was unwilling to eliminate the Pink Powder Legion. With their existence, it was like a magic warning sign. They could pay attention to the Tanggulas Empire's movements at any time. Moreover, the Pink Powder Legion always committed their crimes far away from the princess' castle. The size of the bandit group was always limited to 500 people. The Grand Duke of Divine Grace was very reassured.
"Ha …" Rex chuckled. She looked at Salin and said, "We'll be safe once we reach the princess' castle. I'm friends with the young duke. No one else knows about this."
Young duke?
Salin knew that the nobility system in the Cloud Flow Empire was different from that of the Qin Yin. In the Qin Yin, even if you were a duke, your son wouldn't be given a noble title. Before inheriting his father's title, he could only be called a baron out of politeness. However, in the Cloud Flow Empire, the nobles were much more ostentatious. For example, the son of the Grand Duke of Titan could directly be called a young duke. In the Qin Yin, this was against the law.
Rex was actually friends with the young duke of the Titan Duchy. Hadn't she been practicing magic in the Gushui Prefecture? How did she know someone from the Titan Duchy?
Rex frowned, which was rare. She said in a girly manner, "Don't think that you're my only friend. That young duke is also a big shot. You'll know when you see the princess' castle. He's quite capable. However, I heard that the emperor of the Cloud Flow Empire wants to marry the princess to him. I think he's going crazy. Ha … "
"What's wrong with marrying the princess?" Salin asked in surprise.
