The team advanced in the northeast direction. The leader was now Zola. With his swordsmanship, even the two Black Iron Sword Saints would be convinced. There was no problem with the team's command. In such a small team, individual combat ability was more important.
Salin's luck seemed to have improved again. Along the way, Zola used his keen intuition to avoid many Tanggulas Empire patrol squads. Because the team was heading east, this place was too far from the main battle zone. The Tanggulas Empire had pitifully few Mages in this area, let alone powerful Mages.
The Blood Knights were gathering southwest, preparing to attack a city upstream of the Redwater River. Salin's team actually passed through dozens of large and small towns and reached the periphery of the Purgatory Desert.
This was not entirely a matter of ability. It definitely depended on luck. Dozens of towns and tens of thousands of soldiers were stationed there. The smallest town had more than four hundred soldiers stationed there. The Tanggulas Empire had invested heavily to occupy every inch of Titan's land.
The Purgatory Desert was at the center of the Myer Continent. It had a radius of thousands of miles. The surrounding terrain was complicated, but at least half of it was a desert. It was said that Myer Goddess had fallen here. Salin and the others had to pass through more than two hundred miles of rocky mountains. These rocky mountains should have been made of soil, but some forbidden spell had completely melted the soil and crystallized it.
This was a completely lifeless area, but it was even safer. There were poisonous scorpions in the desert. Although there were remnants of water, it was not worth the risk. Rex brought very few people. They could survive on the water created by Mages.
The adventure team could not enter the depths of the Purgatory Desert because they did not have as many skeleton warhorses as Salin. Before Salin came out, each person had two skeleton warhorses sealed in the Green Spirit. These skeleton warhorses summoned by the Three Lords would gradually weaken because they were too far from Metatlin City. They would eventually return to the Undead Plane.
Even with the Green Spirit's sealing ability, everything needed to be dealt with within half a year. It was already November, and there were about four months left.
After entering the brown rocky area, Rex had more or less recovered. He then ordered the team to rest.
This time, it was a rest. Rex took out the equipment in the Shenluo Ring and built a sturdy camp. Titan was extremely chaotic now. Who knew if there would be scattered troops hiding here.
All eight construct puppets were released. Two were responsible for the magic chariot, and the other six were responsible for patrolling. Two small flying puppets were released in the sky to stand guard, and four alchemy crossbows were set up in the four corners of the camp. Rex took out another 100 battle puppets in one go. The abilities of these battle puppets could only be unleashed by mages. In a free-for-all battle situation, their battle prowess was only equivalent to that of a high-level Swordsman, but their consumption would not be reduced at all.
Because the camp was set up in the mountains, there were no arrow towers. Instead, they sent combat puppets to the mountainside nearby to set up crossbows. None of the Sword Masters and Sword Saints participated in the patrol. The two Magicians took turns to control the flying puppets, and the Sword Masters began to truly rest.
The continuous battles and travel had made everyone mentally exhausted. If they did not adjust, they would be in a terrible state when they entered the desert.
Rex was no longer in the mood to think about Salin. She took out fourteen sets of real magic armor and put them on for everyone.
The so-called true magic armor could only be worn by intermediate swordsmen and above. A certain amount of mental power was needed to unleash the true defensive ability of the armor.
These fourteen sets of armor had the same style. They were sealed helmets carved from a single piece of metal. The mask was movable and could be pushed up. The magic arrays carved on the inside of the mask could allow the Sword Master to breathe freely. The eyes were made of polished crystals. The lining of the helmets was made from the skin of level-six magic beasts. The two ears were thickened for protection, and a separate magic array was set up to block strong vibrations. At the same time, these two magic arrays could also transmit sound.
The magic arrays on the ears of the regular magic helmets could only transmit simple syllables, and the officer had to use a magic war drum to transmit the message. However, these advanced helmets could transmit messages freely within several kilometers.
The sinister metal mask was covered with dense metal scales. It was difficult for arrows to penetrate the mask from any angle.
The upper half of the armor was covered with thick and heavy armor leaves. There were small arm shields on both arms, and there was a mirror on the chest that was polished to the point where it did not reflect any light. The belt was as wide as a palm, and had a similar design to a magic robe. However, it was buckled at the back of the waist, and the front was hidden under the armor leaves.
On the back of the magic armor was a row of metal spikes that went down along the spine. In fact, this was to prevent the spine from getting hurt. At the same time, it was impossible for someone to carry them up. The essence of this row of metal spikes was to add several layers of defense and support.
When the soldier wearing the magic armor stood still, almost all the weight would be carried by this metal skeleton. The spikes extended all the way to the bottom of the boots. When the soldier moved, they could also share some of the weight.
On the outside of the arm of the magic armor were two sealed grooves, which could be embedded with magic equipment, such as a small alchemy crossbow. These two grooves could also be used as weapons. The soldier only needed to wave his arm to block the enemy's attack.
The lower half of the armor was still in the style of Qin Yin's skirt armor. This was so that the soldier could ride the war horse more flexibly. The scabbard of the short sword was directly inserted into the outside of the boots instead of hanging on the waist. Qin Yin's short sword was similar to the triangular sword in that it was an armor-piercing weapon. When the enemy's armor was too thick and hard to penetrate, the short sword could be used to stab directly. This required strong close combat ability to exert the penetrating effect.
The most special part was the pair of gloves. The ends of the gloves were very long, and they were directly inserted into the metal wrist guards. The back was sewn with small magical beast bones. Not only was it high in defense, it did not affect the dexterity of the soldier's hands.
Even an ordinary mage would be envious of this pair of gloves. As it was sewn with the skin of a high-level magical beast, no seams could be seen from the outside.
Salin looked at the sinister black armor and asked enviously, "Is this …"
"The Glücos Royal Family's Spirit Snake Armor. All the materials were harvested from a magical snake. It is the most flexible magic armor on the continent. Each set of armor requires ten mages to continuously refine, and it takes a month to make one. "Rex answered Salin's question with pride in his eyes.
The symbol of the Glücos Royal Family was the Six-Winged Flying Serpent. However, the Six-Winged Flying Serpent had long disappeared from this plane. The Glücos Family had a place to rear Spirit Snakes in the royal fief south of Sacred Rock City. The Spirit Snakes also had the bloodline of the Six-Winged Flying Serpent and could provide high-level magic materials.
However, the Spirit Snakes had a lifespan of a hundred years. The Glücos Family was not allowed to slaughter or use the Spirit Snakes. They could only use the materials after the Spirit Snakes died of old age. Rearing the Spirit Snakes required the feeding of magic cores, which was a huge consumption. Therefore, the royal family could only make a few dozen sets of this armor every year.
Apart from the first batch made during the founding of the country, the Glücos Family had not made enough Spirit Snake Armor to equip a swordsman battalion in the past thousand years.
Even so, the Qin Yin Royal Family's armor was enviable. The people of Yun Liu had always wanted to get their hands on this armor. They had made countless requests to exchange for it, but were all rejected by the Glücos Royal Family.
Rex clearly had the authority and skills to make this armor. This was because the Spirit Snake Armor given to Grizzly Bear was completely custom-made. It was definitely not taken out of the warehouse.
Although the outer layer of the Spirit Snake Armor was expensive, the inner layer of the Spirit Snake Armor was even more precious. It was this layer of Spirit Snake Armor that gave the warriors strong resistance to attacks.
Salin swallowed his saliva. Every empire had powerful weapons, but Qin Yin's armor was unique to the four empires.
The Glücos Royal Family's Spirit Snake Battalion was not in Sacred Rock City. Instead, it was in the royal fief five hundred miles south of Sacred Rock City. There were tombs of the Glücos Family's emperors, their most loyal subjects, fertile land, and a large number of mages there. After Qin Yin founded the country, the Spirit Snake Battalion had never left their fief.
The Bidamia Basin was the most mysterious land on the mainland. It was enough to support tens of millions of people. For thousands of years, no one from other countries had been able to enter.
Even the emperor of Qin Yin could not mobilize the Spirit Snake Battalion. The Spirit Snake Battalion was responsible for the foundation of the Glücos Family. As long as the Bidamia Basin did not fall, the Glücos Family could make a comeback at any time.
However, the royal family still had the authority to make their own Spirit Snake Armor. Every year, the materials for a set of armor would be sent to Sacred Rock City from the Bidamia Basin. This set of materials could be used to make a set of Spirit Snake Armor, as well as repair materials. Grizzly Bear's set was enough for two warriors to make Spirit Snake Armor.
Rex smiled and said, "I can't give it to you. I don't have the authority either."
Salin laughed dryly and said, "Zola's set?"
"That set is different. It doesn't use the materials of the Spirit Snake, and the magical formation is different too. You can make an imitation as long as you have enough magical beast materials. "
Salin pondered for a while and understood that Rex was giving him a benefit. That was because he had enough magical beast materials. The red krill he hunted in the Frozen Sea had provided him with too much carapace. These carapaces were definitely not as good as those of the Spirit Snakes of level-6 and above. However, after repeated refining, he would definitely be able to refine materials of similar quality.
This kind of full magical armor was too important. No wonder Rex had brought ten swordsmen with him. With this set of armor, the combat power of a swordsman would immediately increase to the level of a swordsman. Other than being unable to fly for short distances, a swordsman could totally be used as a swordsman in terms of offense and defense.
Salin was very clear about the significance of a swordsman in the army. Back then, a silver swordsman had charged into Rex's camp alone and wanted to kill him. If it wasn't for Fayern and the rest setting up a trap, Rex, who couldn't fly for long distances, would have been in big trouble.
