Salin had already dug more than 20 meters and was about to dig through the wall. He stopped and released the Witcher Spiders, which burrowed into the one-meter-wide hole to create noise.
The bandits inside the wall immediately heard the noise. The experienced veterans realized that the people outside were about to break through the wall and immediately panicked.
In fact, Bivano could have secretly sent people to sneak in after digging a hole. However, he didn't expect that the morale of the Pink Legion was so low and that the core members were still fighting among themselves. If he had known that it was like this inside, he wouldn't have needed to do anything. After losing the Double-Faced Cavalry, Eleanor, the leader of the Pink Legion, was in a precarious position. Under the pressure of the army, the inside of the temple was already in chaos before he could attack.
However, Salin didn't care so much. He was only responsible for digging the hole. The wall was about to be broken through, but if the people inside rushed out of the door, it would be none of his business. He only needed to go back and cut off the two miles of wall on both sides of the door and store them in dimensional stones.
At this time, Salin didn't want to get rid of Bivano in the temple. His plan was simple. He would first settle the matters of the main shrine before heading to Sacred Rock City. He could enter Bivano's place at any time. Unless Bivano wanted to harm him now, he could wait until the 24 thunder dragons evolved into flying dragons. By then, even if Bivano had a Magic Shooter, he wouldn't be afraid.
After evolving into flying thunder dragons, they would no longer be restricted by the environment. It wouldn't matter if there was water or not. By then, he would have 24 level-nine magic beasts as his fighters. Moreover, all of them could release lightning. If he encountered an oracle again, he might be able to put up a fight.
In less than ten minutes, the noise from inside the door could be heard. A small door strangely appeared on the door, and a series of fireballs flew out from it.
The Heavy Infantrymen guarding the door had already donned their armor and held their magic shields, blocking the way.
The fireballs hit the magic shields and caused a violent explosion. Flames flew everywhere. Several heavy infantry were blown away by the fireballs, but they were only lightly injured. The magic shields were melted into small holes, but the fireballs didn't penetrate them at all.
Bivano had also put in a lot of effort to equip his heavy infantry. Unless a real level-five Great Mage released a level-four fireball, it would be difficult for low-level magic to penetrate the heavy infantry's magic shields.
Salin saw this and was overjoyed. The magic shield could be used in this way! In that case, it would be much easier for him to cut the metalized iron rock to create a shield, and its defensive power would be two grades higher than the equipment of Bifano and the other soldiers.
However, it was very suspicious that Bifano promised to take the materials for these two walls. He also had mages under him, so he naturally knew that this material was very useful in crafting magic equipment. Bifano must not have good intentions for agreeing to his request without hesitation.
Salin was a Mage who had been through the test of life and death, he was no bookworm. It was impossible for him not to know what Bifano was thinking.
That small door was also more than four meters tall. It was called a small door because it was compared to the temple's twenty-meter-tall door. After the mages inside released dozens of spells, the cavalry immediately rushed out. What awaited them was a barrage of arrows.
Crossbow bolts were also considered consumables. If the arrowhead pierced through the armor, it was equivalent to being scrapped. But it was still cheaper than hiring a Magician. Hundreds of arrows flew out and shot down the first wave of cavalrymen who had appeared.
However, as the door got wider and wider, the infantry rushed out from behind. The infantry carried large shields, which were difficult to penetrate unless it was an alchemy crossbow of medium size or above.
Salin carefully observed the battle and found that Bifano's regular army was much stronger than the Pink Legion. First of all, there was the difference in the level of the soldiers. Although the Pink Legion was strong among thieves, most of the soldiers were ordinary low-level swordsmen. Swordsmen were rarely seen. In Bifano's army, however, there were more senior swordsmen and more junior swordsmen. The result of the head-on clash was that Bifano's heavy infantry actually pushed into the small door.
Now, the small door had become a large door more than six meters wide. Behind it, battle puppets pushed two large magic equipment made by Rex through the door.
The attack and defense changed instantly. The fire bees and magic catapults started firing as soon as they entered the small door. The square behind the door was instantly a sea of fire.
Bifano's soldiers were extremely disciplined. As the heavy infantry pushed forward, the crossbowmen followed closely, counterattacking the enemy archers and mages for the heavy infantry. Individual crossbows couldn't hurt a Mage, but they could interrupt a Mage's casting rhythm. The counterattack process was smooth, as if it had been rehearsed thousands of times.
Salin's two magic chariots didn't join the battle. Bifano's mages and the temple's mages were evenly matched. At this time, it depended on the quality of the soldiers on both sides.
Salin originally thought that the battle would last for a long time. After all, there were more people in the temple than Bifano's soldiers. But in less than half an hour, the resistance of the Pink Legion collapsed.
Salin was very surprised. He didn't know that this was because the senior leaders of the Pink Legion had already started fighting among themselves. The wives and sons of the marquis had started a bloody fight. The legendary Kazumi's big family fell apart under the external attack.
There were a total of twenty-four halls in the temple. Bifano's soldiers took them one by one. Except for the strong resistance at the first hall, it became easier as they went on.
Just as Bifano was feeling proud of himself, a green shadow flew past him at an astonishing speed. This green shadow almost drilled through the gaps of Bifano's soldiers. The soldiers' swords flew together, but none of them hit this green shadow.
Salin could clearly see that the green figure was a beautiful female Wizard. He shouted, "Zola!"
The female mage was injured. Her face was full of anger and despair. If it weren't for the internal strife of those damned women, organizing a counterattack in front of the gate, the enemy wouldn't have broken through the temple so quickly. Everything was in chaos. What ideals, what kinship, they were all annihilated with the disappearance of the marquis. All these years, maintaining the Pink Legion was just an illusion. He left, taking everything with him.
The female mage's eyes were full of tears. A green bracelet on her hand released a soft light, wrapping her inside. In this green light, her speed surpassed any acceleration spell, even faster than the flying of a level six mage. The equipment left by the marquis, every one of them was very powerful.
Zola chased after the green shadow. Byrne didn't have the intention to make a move, but Salin didn't want to let this woman go. The equipment on this woman must have something to do with the marquis.
Zola saw that his pure-blooded warhorse couldn't catch up with the female mage. He bent down and snatched a longbow. At the same time, he pulled out five arrows from the swordmaster's back. Silver-white sword energy penetrated the arrows. The eagle feathers at the end of the arrows turned to dust with a puff.
Zola didn't need the tail feathers to balance the arrows. The silver-white sword energy pierced through the arrows and the longbow, forming a huge ring. There was a violent explosion in the air, and five arrows flew out at the same time.
Zola loved to fool around with women. Ever since he followed Salin, he couldn't touch any beautiful woman he saw. Although this female sorcerer was old, she was still considered to be an outstanding beauty. He couldn't bear to kill her directly. One of the five arrows flew out from the crowd, circled in the air, and shot towards the female sorcerer.
The female mage's movements immediately stopped. She was seriously injured and relied entirely on the power in the bracelet to defend herself. Even at her peak, she wouldn't dare to block the sword energy contained in this arrow. Her feet stopped, and the arrow shot down vertically, piercing in front of her. The four arrows behind also arrived, flying past her limbs. The sword energy surged, almost shaking her to the point where her bones went numb. With a plop, she fell to the ground.
Zola spurred his horse to catch up. He bent down on the horse's back, grabbed the female mage's belt, and lifted her up. The female mage risked her life, trying to move the magic string. Zola's sword energy penetrated her body and directly entered her brain.
The female mage instantly felt like she was floating. She couldn't even feel the serious injuries on her body. However, her body became even more limp. Not to mention moving the magic string, even the ability to release mental shock had disappeared.
"Sword …" The female mage called out hoarsely, unable to struggle anymore. Zola carried her back to Salin's magic chariot and placed the female mage outside the chariot's carriage. He said, "My Lord, I've caught her."
Zola's series of actions couldn't be hidden from the mages in the magic chariot. Rex looked pensive, but the two female mages looked at Salin enviously.
Zola's move was too beautiful. Those five arrows were fine, but the last thing that controlled the female mage was a legendary ultimate skill — Sword Energy Lock.
Sword Energy Lock was when a Sword Saint used sword energy that had left his body to seal the mental domain in a mage's mind, making the mage unable to move the magic string and completely lose the ability to fight. This skill was the trademark of a Gold Sword Saint. In theory, a Silver Sword Saint could also use it, but he had to have a Gold Sword Saint's guidance. Otherwise, a slight mistake and it wouldn't be a lock, but a murder.
This skill wasn't only useful on humans. Even magic beasts could be controlled by Sword Energy Lock. Although Zola wasn't a Gold Sword Saint, there was definitely something left behind by a Gold Sword Saint in his inheritance. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to control a gray-robed mage. With the inheritance of a Gold Sword Saint, Zola could definitely become a Gold Sword Saint at such a young age.
It was every mage's dream to have a Gold Sword Saint as a follower.
Zola's move was too beautiful. The two female mages even had some strange thoughts about him. It was very difficult for female mages to marry, unless there was a male mage who wasn't that desperate for magic who was willing to marry her. Otherwise, ordinary people wouldn't dare to marry mages when they couldn't wait to revere them.
At first, Nania was a little interested in Salin because Salin had two beauties by his side. They didn't look like mages who dedicated everything to magic. It was only later that Nania realized that Rex had different feelings for Salin, so she could only give up.
