The iron bridge trembled violently. Originally, there were guards of the stone statue castle on the other side of the bridge, but by now, they had already escaped. However, there was also an iron chain on the south side of the bridge, blocking the vehicles and horses.
Although this iron chain was strong, if Salin used water to cut it, it would definitely be cut in half a minute. However, the metal Titan behind was destroying the bridge, and no one knew when the bridge would collapse. At that time, everyone would fall into the water, and only a few people would be spared. This Redwater River was a natural stronghold, and the current was rapid. Mages were not afraid, but soldiers wearing iron armor would die if they fell into the water.
In addition, Salin did not want his magic chariot to fall into the water. Once this magic chariot fell into the water, it would cost a lot to repair it. Although he could kill Bivano's soldiers, it was not worth it.
"Sicar, go with Zola and cut that iron chain."
Salin still stopped Nelis from making a move. Nelis's dragon tooth dagger had a freezing effect and was extremely sharp. Cutting the iron chain was not a problem. However, Salin already wanted to kill Bivano. He wanted to hide Nelis's strength, and then he could receive an unexpected effect.
Bivano and all the people around him did not see Nelis's strength, and only thought that she was Salin's favored maid.
Silva had always felt very bored. Since arriving at the stone statue castle, she had always wanted to participate in the battle, but was stopped by Salin.
"Alright." Silva pulled out her boomerang, jumped out of the galloping chariot, and directly jumped on Zola's war horse. Her feet were nailed to the war horse's butt, and her upper body did not move. Zola kicked the war horse's abdomen with his feet, and the war horse rushed to the front. His tear stain once again condensed sword energy.
Silva narrowed her eyes, and the boomerang flashed with a black luster, and flew out of her hand.
With a swish, the iron chain was cut by Silva's boomerang, and only one was left, which was not even the width of a finger. Zola's sword energy flew out, and accurately hit the gap created by Silva. He bent his body, grabbed the broken iron chain, and forcefully threw it down the bridge.
This series of actions was very coherent, as if the two had practiced it countless times in advance. Bifano's soldiers cheered loudly, completely forgetting that there was still a huge problem behind them.
Zola was also a little proud. After advancing to a Silver Sword Saint, his Sword Ki could already leave his body to attack. Just now, in a flash, he was able to accurately hit the gap in the iron chain while he was on the galloping warhorse. That was an ability other than sword skills. It was a technique that Sword Saints used their spiritual power to control Sword Ki. When this technique was practiced to the extreme, a Sword Saint would be able to fight against a Mage.
Shika casually caught the boomerang that flew back, and Jorah immediately withered. Shika had relied entirely on his strength and the sharpness of his weapon to cut off half of the iron chain. He had also calculated the angle at which the boomerang would bounce back. This ability was much more difficult than his skills.
A group of people rushed down the iron bridge, which was already on the verge of collapse.
"Good job, Lord Zola!" The soldiers slowed down and greeted Zola. They couldn't see the difficulty of that one move, but Zola's appearance was very impressive. The silver Sword Qi shot out, and the sound of the explosion soared into the sky.
"Keep going!" Bifano angrily berated the soldiers. Although that Metal Titan was attracted by the metal of the iron bridge, who knew if it would go crazy and chase after his team. But his vision was much higher than the soldiers under him. He saw Shika's attack, and it made him very vigilant. That female Caucasian's weapon was very strange. It had a black glow, and he couldn't tell what kind of power it was.
If that crescent-shaped weapon attacked him, would his ancestral armor be able to withstand it?
Bifano looked at Shika's back and suddenly felt a little jealous. Such a beautiful woman, so powerful, actually belonged to that playboy Mage.
Hmph, why should I be jealous of him? As long as I get the technique of magic and martial arts, what kind of woman can't I have? Bifano suppressed the desire in his heart, and under the escort of his bodyguards, he sped up towards the south.
"How do we come back?" Salin asked Rex in the magic chariot. The Redwater River was mostly the reason why the Titans could resist the Tanggulas Empire. The Redwater River didn't freeze in winter, so it was a natural barrier. The entire river was more than four thousand miles long, and there were only three places suitable to cross. One was upstream, but it was very close to Cloud Current. One was here, where there was a wide iron bridge connecting the north and south. The other was where the Redwater River entered the Frigid Swamp. Because of the terrain, the water flow was actually very smooth, and there was an ancient stone bridge that could allow carriages to cross.
The problem was that it was also close to Cloud Current, so it wasn't very safe.
"Of course we're coming back from here. I brought a ship." Rex shook the Shenluo Ring on his hand.
The space inside this artifact was even bigger than all of Salin's dimensional stones combined. The resources Rex had collected inside were enough for her to deal with all kinds of problems.
"You want to subdue that monster?" Salin heard the meaning in Rex's words.
"Of course. With this thing, it'll be much easier to fight against the War Puppets." Rex explained to Salin, "The War Puppets' attack power and methods are stronger than the Metal Titan's, but their defense is not as good as the Metal Titan's, and they're not flexible enough. You also saw that the Metal Titan can easily destroy city walls. Unless it's a city wall like Holy Rock City, or your Metatlin City is completely built, then it can withstand the Metal Titan's attack. An ordinary city is no different from a thatched hut to it. "
"I'm not doing it." Shika immediately shook her head. That monster's power wasn't something she could fight against. All of her techniques were useless in front of the Metal Titan.
"I'm not doing it either." Neris cooperated with Shika. She thought to herself, Unless I summon an army of demons, I won't even be a match for the Metal Titan in terms of speed. Not to mention fighting it directly.
"Salin, what about you?" Rex looked at Salin. She didn't expect Salin's two most powerful fighters to reject her at the same time.
"Why do we have to complicate things? Our target isn't the Metal Titan. "Salin slowly stated his choice.
"This thing is very important. Have you thought about it? As long as we put the Metal Titan in the mine, it can refine steel for you. Even if we can't hire workers for now, we can still mine on a large scale. "
"Without Magic Shooters, we can't subdue this thing at all." Salin shook his head. He was naturally very tempted by the Metal Titan, but he also knew that it was too powerful and didn't have any special weaknesses.
"Salin, if we don't make a move now, when Tanggulas' men arrive, this thing will be subdued by the Vatican and used to attack your city." Rex said what Salin was most worried about. Salin was speechless.
Tanggulas' army had already infiltrated the Titan Duchy. There wasn't much land north of the Redwater River that belonged to the Titans. This Metal Titan would encounter Tanggulas' army sooner or later. When that time came, it would be a massacre. However, the Vatican had enough manpower to subdue this monster. If the Vatican obtained the Metal Titan, he could only hope that the Spellcasters from Seriger Island would arrive at Metatlin City sooner.
Thinking about the speed at which the Metal Titan tore down the city walls, Salin's heart turned cold. No matter how sturdy his Metatlin City was, it still needed the cooperation of Magic Shooters to become a sturdy fortress. The War Puppets were even more powerful than the Metal Titan. If Sacred Rock City turned hostile and sent troops to attack, they would be even more troublesome than the Vatican.
The Vatican was at the western end of the continent, too far away from Metatlin City. However, Sacred Rock City could reach Metatlin City within a month, be it by land or water.
"Do you have any good ideas?"
"No, only stupid ones." Rex admitted frankly. If she used the power of the Godsio Ring, she could also subdue the Titan. The problem was that the power of the Godsio Ring could only be released once a year. Rex wouldn't use it unless it was a matter of life and death.
"How stupid?"
"Very stupid, but it's not very dangerous. It could even be said that there's no risk at all."
"Then tell me." Salin couldn't refuse. Sicar pouted, but he also pricked up his ears to listen to what Rex had to say.
"This is a young Metal Titan. Its immunity to Petrification is very low. This is also the best spell to subdue it. From today onwards, we'll keep making Petrification scrolls. A level-three Petrification can petrify this guy for one and a half seconds, which is 90 vibrations. We have eight great Magic Casters, and they can all control the Petrification scrolls to three vibrations. "
"You're a level-six Magic Caster, and this thing is at least a level-eight creature. The failure rate of forcing a contract is very high," Salin reminded Rex.
"So I have to make more contract scrolls and subdue this big guy by force."
"Rex, do you know how many scrolls we'll need to do this?" Salin didn't even calculate, but he already had a headache. The success rate of a level-six Magic Caster using contract spells was less than one in a thousand.
"I can prepare 10,000 Petrification scrolls. We won't run out of spiritual power on the magic chariot, and we can keep using these low-level scrolls. As long as we can subdue this big guy, it'll be worth it. "
"We only have two months."
"In Fire Dance City, we can hire a group of Magic Casters to make Petrification scrolls," Rex said persistently.
Salin thought about it. This plan wasn't without risks. If all the Petrification scrolls were used up, and the Metal Titan wasn't subdued by the contract, then all the investment would be for naught. By then, they could only run for their lives, and there would be no chance of subduing the Metal Titan.
Rex and himself were tight on funds now. They had invested so much. If they didn't succeed, the loss wouldn't just be the materials and money they invested.
"Alright, the things I have now can be exchanged for about a few hundred thousand gold coins," Salin said helplessly.
Rex smiled, and said, "No need. I've brought out most of the low-level blank scrolls in Holy Rock City. Don't tell anyone about this."
Huh? Salin was a little confused. He knew that Emperor Charnak loved Rex a lot, but he didn't expect Emperor Charnak to give Rex so many resources last time. Blank scrolls wouldn't expire, and most of the magic resources in a country were blank scrolls. Rex actually brought out most of the low-level blank scrolls in Holy Rock City. Then, Rex would have enough capital for future wars.
