Then, Rex took out the warhorse armor and put it on the skeletal warhorse. The skeletal warhorse was strong, but it didn't have great defense. With the armor, it was much safer. There was a protruding horn on the chest of the armor. If an infantryman was hit by the horn, his bones and flesh would definitely be smashed.
In the camp, the mages were meditating, and the swordsmen were getting used to the magic armor and training. Rex took out the map and started discussing with Salin.
The area marked on the map was huge, but it only had information about the periphery of the Purgatory Desert. There were no valuable marks in the real Purgatory Desert.
"We have to advance more than 300 kilometers, or even 500 kilometers, to reach the target. The temperature in the Purgatory Desert during the day is more than 80 degrees. Even with the magic armor, the soldiers can't withstand it. The temperature at night is about 40 degrees Celsius. "
Neris listened carefully at the side. She thought, This is considered a bad area in the Demonic Plane.
"I'm not sure what creatures are in the desert, but one thing is for sure. In that kind of environment, there won't be a lot of creatures, but they will be very strong."
"How long do we have to wait here?" Salin looked at the map, feeling uneasy. Those greedy adventurers didn't dare to enter this place. Was it only because of some strong creatures?
"About 20 days. It depends on when Metatlin City can calculate the coordinates."
"20 days? Will we really not be attacked from this position? " Salin pointed at the direction behind the map. "There's Drol City, which we hid from. It's the smallest city, but it has more than 5,000 soldiers. We can't hide our tracks. If it's the Agares Family … "
"Then we'll enter the Purgatory Desert in advance. Didn't you see that I didn't even set up a teleportation portal?" Rex answered nonchalantly.
Salin could only admire Rex's thinking. Even if the Tanggulas Empire had a million soldiers, they wouldn't dare to chase after them in the Purgatory Desert. In that harsh environment, ordinary soldiers could no longer pose any threat to them. When numbers didn't work, the battle between the strong was what mattered.
But rushing into the Purgatory Desert rashly was also extremely dangerous for Rex and the others. They knew nothing about the desert. Resting here for 20 days was actually to adjust their condition.
"How about I send someone to scout ahead?"
"No, your people might not be able to return safely. The manpower I've prepared this time is already the strongest force I can use. If we enter the center of the desert, I'm afraid … some people might not be able to come out. "Rex rejected Salin's suggestion.
"Use flying puppets. I'll make them now."
Rex nodded this time. The flying puppets were like mobile Eyes of Magic. Their greatest function was not to attack the enemy's catapults and towers, but to scout.
However, the problem with flying puppets was that if they wanted to fly for a long time, the amount of monster cores consumed would quickly increase. Furthermore, it was very difficult to control. The best record was that a Level Six Magus had flown a flying puppet for over a hundred miles and returned safely without falling apart in the sky.
Originally, Rex's team was going to enter the desert directly, but because of Bifano's incident, they had no choice but to reach the periphery of the desert in advance. Instead, they had 20 days' time. Even if they could only explore within a fifty-kilometer radius of the desert, it would be of great help to their next adventure.
Salin began to build flying puppets, using the blueprints and materials provided by Rex. Salin had the Water Flame Alchemy, which was suitable for this kind of manufacturing work that lacked an alchemy laboratory.
There were still many flying puppets prepared in Rex's God Luo Ring. However, flying puppets were the weakest type of puppets. After entering the desert, the temperature difference was huge, so they had to use higher-grade materials to build them.
Seeing that there was nothing else for her to do, Neris returned to Silva's side and discussed with her.
"Sister Shika, can you stand the desert environment?" Neris asked tentatively.
Silva looked at Neris, and said warily, "Why are you asking this? If I can't stand it, why would Salin let me follow?"
Neris licked her lips, and said, "Sister Silva, you're not good at riding horses. You can only sit in the chariot, and you'll be of much less help to Master."
Silva wanted to say that it was the same for her, but Neris had summoned four demons. These four demons had great combat power, and were indeed much more useful than Silva. But she still refused to say anything. She just shook her head, and didn't tell Neris what last resort she had.
Neris was too smart. She said mysteriously, "I see that you're not worried at all. Is that big guy about to come in handy?"
The big guy that Neris was talking about was the huge magic beast skeleton that she got from Rafael's magic tower. Silva kept saying that she could refine it, but after leaving the sea, she didn't take it out again.
"Hmph, why are you asking this? Are you afraid that I'll suddenly kill you?" Silva snorted unhappily.
"Why would I? I've been helping you."
"Sort of, but I don't like the four guys you summoned."
"If you don't like them, just call them over and beat them up. They won't dare to fight back," Neris said viciously.
"What are you trying to say?" Silva asked impatiently. She knew that although Neris did meaningless things most of the time, it was different now. The future was dangerous, and Neris must be thinking about how to avoid these dangers.
"I want to learn how you control the bones."
"You mean … it's useless even if you learn it. Do you understand nature's mind?"
"How can I not understand? There are beautiful places in the Demon Plane. Not all of them are killing … "
"Do you want to deal with the Winged Skeleton?"
Silva's words almost made Neris spit out. This silly girl, how could she say it directly? Of course, Neris was unwilling to share Salin with other summoned creatures, but the Winged Skeleton was very loyal. Salin had a good impression of it. Now that he controlled the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship, it was almost impossible to kill it.
Silva's skill and bone control were beyond Neris's imagination. The skeleton of a magic beast that had been dead for thousands of years was reforged by her, and she could control it to fight.
The Winged Skeleton was just a skeleton. If she learned this skill, then she could secretly subdue the Winged Skeleton.
The problem was, how could Silva understand her mind?
"The simpler the person, the harder it is to deceive." Silva waved her hand to drive Neris away. She still had to secretly practice her new skill. If she couldn't fly, she would be a burden to Salin.
Neris found that she failed again. Even Silva wouldn't fall for it. She was a bad demon. But she still pestered Silva and refused to let go.
"Sister Silva, I'll summon a few demons for you as subordinates, okay?"
"No, Salin said that you wasted a lot of his materials."
"Woo …" Neris made a strange sound with a depressed expression. Salin didn't take all the materials, but only the advanced magic cores. It wasn't that he didn't trust Neris, but she was too wasteful.
Silva even knew about this, but she didn't know when her master told her. If Silva agreed to Neris's request, then Neris would have to pay for all the materials she wasted, and Salin wouldn't blame her.
"If you don't leave, I'll hit you." Silva threatened. Neris gave in. She wasn't afraid of mages, but she was afraid of Silva. Silva's boomerang and stick could hurt her.
The four demons were gloating when they saw Neris walking away from Shika with her tail between her legs. But they didn't show it. Instead, they said to Neris with righteous indignation, "Madam, that woman doesn't know how to appreciate kindness. I'll teach her a lesson for you." Tris was the first to speak, and the other three followed.
"You want to die?" Neris glared and put her hands on her waist. She pointed at the four demons' noses and said fiercely, "She's Master's lover. If you touch her, you'll end up worse than being caught by the Soul-Splitting Demon."
Tris twitched his mouth. He was the strongest. Other than Neris, he wasn't afraid of Zola.
Neris saw that persuasion didn't work, so she sneered and said, "Eva, you're the strongest. Go to Silva and tell her you want to challenge her. You guys, watch from the side and see what happens. If you want to teach her a lesson, you have to beat her first, right? “
Eva clenched her fists, eager to try. Seeing that Neris wasn't joking, she immediately walked towards Silva.
Silva saw Neris teach a few demons a lesson. Seeing Eva walk towards him, he didn't know what she was going to do, so he stood up.
"Your name is Shika?" Eva waved her fists in an unreasonable manner.
Silva twitched his mouth, clenched his fists, and threw them at Eva. Although Eva had been turned into a human female by the ultimate transformation spell and looked weak, she still had her strength. Seeing Silva punch him, he was overjoyed and met it with his own fist.
He didn't need to kill this woman. Just break all her bones. Before Eva's lips curled up, she felt like she had been hit by a mountain. Her entire body was shaken so hard that she couldn't control it. Her muscles loosened, and her mucus, tears, sweat, and urine all oozed out at this moment.
Whoosh …
Even the weakest person in the camp was a middle-ranked swordsman. It was impossible for them not to hear such a huge commotion. Everyone turned around and saw a beautiful woman fly in front of Shika. She flew all the way out of the camp.
Even Triss was dumbfounded. How could that human female have such great strength? This strength was like the legendary power that humans had before they fell!
Sending a person weighing dozens of kilograms flying was something the three demons could do, and even further. But the one who was sent flying was Eva, a brute among the demons. The best way to deal with her was to use techniques. Even Triss couldn't be bothered to compete with Eva in terms of strength.
"Triss, do you want to try? You're much stronger than Eva, even stronger than me. But let me remind you, it's because of your strength that Silva won't show you any mercy. If you're killed by her, I'll torture your soul! "
Triss hesitated. Neris's words sounded like a threat, but it was more like she was encouraging Silva.
