Nelis's heart was also filled with fear. As she gradually matured, some things naturally came to her. Her bloodline was very special, and there was a lot of room for growth. It was very difficult for a little demon like Lologalo to grow in the Demonic Plane. Because of special reasons, she obtained an almost unlimited lifespan and grew up in the Myers Continent.
Sooner or later, her power would break through the restraints of the plane's rules and escape from Salin's control.
Nelis also didn't know what she would do if that day really came. At least for now, she could still be sure of what she would do tomorrow. Help Master become stronger.
"Nelis, when I come out of the Purgatory Desert, I will go to Holy Rock City to see Joey. You can come with me. "
"That's a very dangerous person, right?"
"Yes, probably the most dangerous person in the world. But I promised him, if I don't go, it would be breaking my promise."
"Sister Sicar is going too?"
"No, just me and you."
"Master, Holy Rock City doesn't seem too friendly to you." Nelis reminded Salin.
"Then are you afraid?"
"What's there to be afraid of, at most …" Nelis almost told the truth. She reckoned that when she left the Purgatory Desert, she would have already summoned a demon. At most, she would escape to the Demonic Plane with Salin.
Although the Demonic Plane was also dangerous, as Lologalo who already had three abilities, it was not a problem to protect Salin, a level-five mage. Because Nelis already had the ability to use magic, she would get all the remaining contract scrolls of Rex. At that time, she would capture a large number of demons as her subordinates. Even a Greater Demon would not easily provoke her.
Nelis herself came from the Demonic Plane. As long as she obtained the coordinates and summoned the first demon, she would have a way to return to the Demonic Plane. At that time, there would be very few people on the Myers Continent who could threaten her safety. If she could snatch Rex's God Sieve Ring, entering and exiting the plane would be even safer.
Unfortunately, Master would not agree to it. Nelis shook her head helplessly.
Salin patted her head and said, "Don't worry, my badge is about to be filled with energy again. Even a level-nine mage would not be able to withstand the power of this lightning. Unfortunately, your power is only for defense and cannot be released to kill the enemy. "
"Master, can't those thunder dragons you raised do it?"
"The Thunder Dragon has to evolve, or it can't live without water. I don't have enough Monster Cores on hand, and the consumption of meat every day is too high. "
"Master, I have an idea."
"What is it?"
"You'll know when the time comes." Neris thought, what is the most abundant thing in the Demonic Plane? It was a demonic insect. Some of the demonic insects in the Demonic Plane were even larger than whales, which was more than enough to feed the Thunder Dragon. Once he summoned enough demons, he would have these demons capture magic insects for his master. Then, his master wouldn't have to worry about the Thunder Dragon's food.
"Neris, don't let the Thunder Dragon eat humans." Salin thought that Neris wanted to kill humans for him. When he entered the city, he realized that he wouldn't do such a thing again no matter what.
"Master, human flesh doesn't taste good. I don't even want to eat it." Nelis licked her lips with a wronged expression.
"Alright, alright, I know, Nelis. Be patient. From today onwards, don't leave me even half a step, until …"
"I understand." Neris immediately beamed with joy. It wasn't difficult to kill Bifano. That guy looked at her lecherously and didn't have his guard up at all. That guy's armor was a bit strange, and the dragon tooth dagger might not be able to pierce through it. However, his neck wasn't protected by armor, so she could bite it off.
Neris had never seen a person with a broken neck survive. She was best at biting off the necks of her prey.
Bifano wasn't a playboy after all. He returned to Fiery Dance City and summoned the nobles who came to seek shelter. He rearranged the defense plan and distributed food to calm people down. Then, he began to gather the army and prepared to attack the nest of Pink Corps. He temporarily put Rex and Salin at the back of his mind and did not harass them.
Bifano originally planned to give up on Fiery Dance City, but this time, there were many nobles who followed him. The size of Fiery Dance City's army expanded to twenty thousand people, and this didn't include his own five thousand elites. With these twenty thousand people, he could completely defend the city.
Fiery Dance City's terrain was too special, and it was difficult for the surrounding army to move. Only the cavalry could enter and exit quickly, and they couldn't bring large siege equipment. Also, they only needed to defend the front of the city. Twenty thousand soldiers were enough to resist an army of a hundred thousand. Moreover, according to the current situation, there would be more people coming to seek shelter. He didn't know where his father was now, but once he heard that he had stabilized here, he would definitely find a way to come back.
If his father came back, he would be much more influential than himself. At that time, he could use Fiery Dance City and the temple to resist the invasion of Cloud Flow's army.
Unfortunately, there was no arable land near Fiery Dance City. The production of the terraced fields in the mountains wasn't high, and he needed magic apprentices to irrigate them. He had to give up a large number of farmers and could only rely on the food he plundered to survive. This wasn't a long-term plan. Sooner or later, he would have to choose a force to rely on. If Cloud Flow recognized the Agares Family again, it would be fine. If not, relying on Qin Yin was also a good choice.
If he captured Rex and sent him to Holy Rock City, the Qin Yin Empire would probably accept him.
Rex didn't stay idle either. Bifano didn't reveal her identity, but the identity of the few Great Magicians wasn't weak, so no one dared to restrict her freedom.
Although Fiery Dance City was heavily guarded, the shops were still open. She sent out the Magicians for two hours, and hired dozens of Magicians.
Someone told Bifano. Bifano heard that Rex was only hiring servants to make scrolls, but he didn't take it to heart.
Rex, however, wasn't satisfied. If she was in the Bitter Water Commandery, she could make ten thousand scrolls in about a month. She didn't even need to do it herself. Now, most of the Magicians she hired were level-three. There were only two level-four Magicians, and they could only make a few hundred level-three scrolls in a day.
This was because she had high-quality blank scrolls. Otherwise, it would be lucky if she could make twenty or thirty scrolls in a day.
Fortunately, she brought two level-five Magicians and four level-four Magicians. These Magicians had a very high success rate in making level-three scrolls, and they rarely made mistakes. It was almost a formulaic process. Other than the time to meditate and recover, Rex used the rest of the time to make Petrify scrolls.
The level-three Petrify was a bit useless, because it was a single-target attack spell, and was effective against creatures below level-three. Against creatures above level-three, unless it was targeted, it could only be used as a control spell, and it didn't have much lethality.
The Metal Titan was completely suppressed by the Petrify spell, but it could only slow its movements for about a second. Salin closed the door as soon as he arrived, and didn't want to see anyone. Rex didn't want to force him. She guessed that Salin was preparing something that would be very helpful for her when she entered the Purgatory Desert.
Rex was right. Salin was replenishing the energy of the badge. The badge could contain the power of thunder and lightning. Ever since Salin had twenty-four young thunder dragons, he often put the badge in his necklace to absorb the power released by the thunder dragons.
The young thunder dragons didn't have much attack power, but Salin let the badge absorb it every day, so it was much faster than if he replenished it himself. Moreover, the Thunder Dragon released the power of thunder and lightning, which the badge absorbed without any loss. According to Salin's own estimation, it would take at most two days for the badge to replenish enough energy to once again release that powerful lightning attack.
This was the most powerful attack Salin had. Even if he encountered a level-nine magic beast, he was confident that he could kill it with one blow. Unfortunately, the accumulation of this ability was too slow, and it was a one-time attack.
The thunder dragons in the Goddess' necklace also grew very fast. Salin fed the thunder dragons with red krill meat every day, and put in a lot of magic cores. The time in the necklace flowed very fast, and with the constant stimulation from the badge, the thunder dragons grew twice as fast as he expected.
Salin kept calculating the consumption of food, and could only slow down the time in the Goddess' necklace.
After seven days, Rex repeatedly requested to stay in Fire Dance City for a while longer. She was preparing the equipment to fight against the Pink Legion. In fact, Rex was trying her best to make Petrification Scrolls. She had already prepared the equipment to fight against the Pink Legion. But Bifano couldn't refuse. If he wanted to enter the temple, he had to get Rex's help.
At the beginning of October, Rex finally left under Bifano's request. Bifano gathered five thousand cavalrymen, carried hundreds of carts of supplies, and headed south. The Cold Swamp was the base of the Agares Family. Cloud Flow's army had already crossed the Redwater River, but they didn't come to clean up immediately.
Salin's skeleton warhorse had been called back to the Green Spirit, and the magic chariot was pulled by four handsome warhorses, which was a bit of a waste. Actually, the horses produced by Qin Yin were better. They had long endurance and weren't slow. Those horses didn't have much explosive power, so they weren't suitable for cavalry charges.
The terrain of the Cold Swamp was complicated. The Pink Legion's nest was in a muddy swamp, which couldn't be entered from the south. They were completely cut off from Cloud Flow. Entering from the north of the swamp, autumn was a good season. The amount of water that flowed into the Cold Swamp decreased, and the swamp was affected too.
Compared to the chaotic swamp, this was a safe area. After all, the threat of magical beasts was small. Bifano had a detailed map. The army carefully passed through the dangerous areas, and almost didn't suffer any losses. They reached the center of the swamp.
The ground here was very solid, and there were huge grasses as tall as two people everywhere. Bifano's army stationed on high ground. In the swamp, it was impossible to station troops on low ground, and it was easy to encounter floods after heavy rains. Even though it was autumn, they had to be very careful.
Bifano came to Rex's carriage and asked carefully, "Your Highness, there's less than half a day's journey. The enemy probably discovered us long ago. Are you ready?"
"Bifano, don't worry. I'll assemble the equipment at a distance of 25 miles. The terrain here isn't good. If we assemble in advance, it'll consume too much energy when we move."
