[A power outage for a day. We can't make up for yesterday's. Let's talk about it tomorrow. I'm really sorry. The power outage notice was posted outside the courtyard, not at the electronic gate. I didn't know about it beforehand.]
The arrows in the black hole only shot one round, and no more attacks appeared. Bifano felt that this moment was as long as a year. To kill or not to kill?
Zola looked at Bifano with a smile that wasn't a smile. His wrist shook, and the tear stain made an unusually intense sound.
Bifano immediately broke out in a cold sweat. In order to observe Salin's actions, he had already moved to a position less than ten meters away from Salin. At this distance, a Sword Saint was a great threat to a Mage.
He was really out of his mind. The two guys beside Salin were both very strong. Zola was at least a Silver Sword Saint, and that Grizzly's strength was also terrifying. He was like a human-shaped magical beast. If the attack didn't work, he would have to deal with Zola and Grizzly himself. If he retreated and pulled away, Salin would be able to calmly attack him with magic.
Bifano laughed dryly and made an inviting gesture. Salin looked at him coldly and calmly walked back to Rex's magic chariot. He deliberately brushed past Bifano, and Zola whispered in Bifano's ear, "Young duke, why haven't you made a move yet?"
His words had a double meaning. Bifano shivered and retreated, remaining silent. Seeing Salin get on the chariot, he ordered the soldiers.
"The second flag regiment, prepare to enter!"
The second flag regiment was heavy infantry. Although the Titans' heavy infantry were not as strong as Qin Yin's, their equipment was still more than fifteen pounds. The soldiers wore chain leaf armor and held heavy shields. Their weapons, however, were double-edged swords slightly shorter than crossbows.
Among the one thousand people in the second flag regiment, there were six hundred heavy infantry. They were now divided into three groups, forming small phalanxes and preparing to enter the temple. These heavy infantry were very lethal. The double-edged swords were extremely heavy, and there was a sawtooth in the middle. Even a Mage would be unlucky if surrounded by heavy infantry.
Bifano's five thousand elite soldiers were the capital of the Agares Family. When Salin saw the six hundred heavy infantry assemble and walk into the black hole, he felt an incomparable killing intent erupt from the bodies of these six hundred soldiers.
Only someone who had killed would have such killing intent. The Titans had always been peaceful. For example, when the soldiers of the stone statue castle were attacked, they would fall into chaos. However, the soldiers under Bifano's command actually had very strong combat abilities. This was the result of the Agares family's secret training. Every year, the Titans had to purchase a group of death row prisoners or slaves for their own private soldiers to kill.
The prisoners or slaves would also be given weapons. If they could survive the strangulation, they would be set free. It was through this cruel method that the Agares Family's private army gained such a powerful fighting force. Soldiers who had never been on the battlefield were forever new recruits.
Salin looked back at Rex and realized that Rex didn't care about Bifano's soldiers at all. Her own Swordsman Battalion had also been baptized in blood, and were not any weaker than Bifano's soldiers. In the past two years, Qin Yin had been at war again and again. The Black Magicians had caused chaos, Jia Loulan had been invaded, and Lianyun City had fallen. The series of wars did not cause Qin Yin to collapse. Instead, the power of Qin Yin's local nobles had been honed.
Shika, who rarely spoke, opened her mouth. She silently took the Blessing Ring from Salin and said, "Princess, Bifano wanted to kill Salin just now."
The conversation in the magic chariot could not be heard from the outside no matter what. Rex glanced at Shika, rubbed his fingers, and said awkwardly, "Do it now. It's not good for us."
"I don't care if it's good or not. He wants to harm Salin, so he must die." Shika's words left no room for negotiation.
Rex frowned. She could understand Shika's feelings, but Bifano had more than five thousand soldiers now. The consequences of killing him would not be good.
Neris winked at Shika and said, "Sister Shika, don't worry. Keep him. I have a use for him."
Shika stopped talking, and her hand left the boomerang. Neris had more tricks than her. She was definitely not lying to her. After all, she and Neris were much closer than Rex.
The black hole was actually a space tunnel. However, because both ends were in the same plane, and the distance was not far, it was abnormally stable. Salin and Rex both knew that the temple was not nearby. It was very likely that it was hundreds of miles away, and it was connected by this tunnel.
If they could get this skill, it would be much more useful than teleportation arrays. Teleportation arrays could only teleport a small number of people at a time, and the consumption was terrifying. As long as this space tunnel didn't cross dimensions, the consumption was negligible.
However, even the Holy Church didn't have this skill, so Salin and Rex naturally wouldn't ask for too much. As long as they could find the main temple and get the seeds of the four godly trees, they would have the power to fight against the Holy Church.
The dark tunnel was more than one mile long. At the end of the tunnel was a pile of magic machines that had been abandoned. These magic machines were very simple, and only a magic apprentice could operate them. Hundreds of quivers were pointed at the tunnel, and all the arrows had been shot out. The commander of the first heavy infantry unit was a little confused. He didn't know how these quivers could shoot arrows for more than one mile, but he wasn't in the mood to study it. However, he wasn't in the mood to study them. He waved his hand, and another 40 soldiers immediately destroyed the magic machinery with their double-edged swords.
Mysterious magic patterns were engraved on the black ground, and there was a gate that was more than 30 meters tall in front of them. There were no ambushes, and the tunnel was too long. The magic equipment that Rex prepared was not put to use. The Pink Legion hid in the temple and wouldn't show up no matter what.
If the Pink Legion rushed out of the temple to fight, they would be burned to death as soon as they stepped out of the tunnel.
Two huge magic equipment moved slowly into the tunnel. After passing through the tunnel that was more than one mile, they arrived at the gate of the temple. The soldiers repositioned the two magic equipment and aimed at the gate.
The soldiers outside the tunnel didn't dare to slack off. Except for the heavy cavaliers who were resting and putting on heavy armor, the light cavaliers were patrolling nearby. The mages also released a limited number of flying puppets and set up hundreds of magic alarms.
The counterattack from inside the temple wasn't scary. The most scary thing was that the enemies outside would coordinate with each other. Under the pincer attack, there would be heavy casualties.
Salin was very free. The agreement between Rex and Bifano didn't include helping Bifano to destroy the Pink Legion. In fact, the inside of the temple was very spacious, and it was very suitable for mages to fight. The problem was that Rex didn't want his mages to take risks. At least, it was better not to take unnecessary risks like this.
Bifano personally led the soldiers into the tunnel, and two magic chariots were waiting outside the tunnel. Rex's ten swordsmen, two Black Iron Sword Saints, Violent Bear, and Zola were all resting next to the magic chariots.
The soldiers on guard looked at Rex's swordsmen enviously. The magic armor that these swordsmen were wearing was not low-level. Theoretically, Salin could already make high-level magic equipment. These magic armors were all made from the shells of magical beasts, and lined with soft armor weaved with metal wires, which was light and strong.
The swordsmen sat on the ground, took out whetstones, and started polishing their weapons. Apart from the weapons that Salin made for them, many of the equipment that they usually carried were not magic weapons and needed maintenance.
Hum …
The air vibrated, and a black mass of poisonous insects flew toward the tunnel. The other magic chariot lit up with a dazzling light, and a cloud of fire danced in the sky, burning the poisonous insects.
Bifano's soldiers swallowed hard. They were all carrying medicine to repel the poisonous insects. They were definitely poisonous insects that belonged to magical beasts. Luckily, there were mages …
In front of the gate of the temple, four battle puppets carried huge metal hammers and rushed toward the gate under the command of the magic apprentices.
Boom!
The head of the metal hammers was completely suppressed, and the battle puppets were sent flying. Only a shallow hole was left on the gate of the temple.
Bifano paced back and forth anxiously. The internal structure of this temple was completely different from the ones he had been to before. This was something he did not expect. A gate was already blocking his way. If he could not open the gate, then it would be completely useless for him to mobilize five thousand soldiers.
Go back? Obviously not. Fire Dance City could not be completely defended. If he could not get this temple, his trusted troops would be destroyed by Cloud Flow sooner or later.
Four of the two thousand kilogram metal hammers were destroyed, but the gate of the temple still showed no signs of breaking. If this continued, the morale would completely drop.
The gate of the temple was completely useless with magic. The scrolls of the mages could not be opened here. Although magic could be released, it was extremely difficult to mobilize the elements, and it was also very unstable. It had been more than an hour, and the gate still showed no signs of opening.
"Sir, should we go and beg His Highness?" a soldier whispered in Bifano's ear.
Bifano nodded helplessly. He had wanted to go for a long time, but he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, so he did not want to put it into action. Rex was not his subordinate. If he wanted her to help, he had to pay the same price.
Bifano was reluctant. He did not have time to clear most of the warehouses in the Titan cities. Cloud Flow's troops were too fast, and the speed of the Tanggulas Empire's invasion was also faster than he had imagined. He might not be as rich as Rex now.
Outside the tunnel, Rex had already started playing a game with Salin. The two of them were like in the God's Punishment Hell. They released level-0 and level-1 magic at each other, and then used magic to cancel each other out. They had not played this game for a long time, but they still had great chemistry. They were even more familiar with it than before.
The other two female mages in the carriage were stunned. Using magic to cancel magic was something they had only seen in books. They had never seen it in real life. As level-4 mages, they knew how difficult it was. Rex and Salin both released magic instantaneously. No matter how spacious the carriage was, the two of them could not be more than five meters apart. Nania's heart was in her throat. She was afraid that if Salin or Rex made a mistake, they would hurt someone.
"Sir Salin, Bifano is out," Zola reminded softly outside the carriage.
