The armor that Salin made for the demons was mostly made from the shells of magical beasts obtained from the deep sea. Although these shells were precious, they had their weaknesses. Firstly, they were too light. For humans, a lighter armor could increase combat efficiency, but the demons were astonishingly strong, so heavier armor was actually much better.
That was because the heavier the armor, the more it could absorb the impact of weapons, and the better it could defend against heavy weapons.
Salin now had a deep understanding of armor making, and he had obtained a large amount of Orangutan Iron, so he simply made new armor for the four demons. As for the original armor, it was a copy of the Glücos family's Spirit Snake Armor.
Making armor seemed simple, but it was actually the most fundamental manifestation of a country's strength. Even imps with low intelligence could make armor, but the quality of the armor was too terrible. Although there was an expensive material like Orangutan Iron, the armor of imps was completely useless against Rex and Salin's mid-level magic.
Real magic armor was only qualified if it could defend against mid-level magic for a short period of time.
Although the demons didn't care about this kind of battle, they were still very happy that Salin repaired their armor as soon as he returned. This meant that the master of this master didn't treat them as cannon fodder.
Salin maintained his relaxed state as usual. As he made the armor of the demons again, he conversed with Eleanor.
Eleanor's injuries weren't serious. It was just that Rex hadn't sent any Magicians to help her, and she had fought alone without sufficient rest. Her mental strength had been severely depleted, and on top of that, her previous injuries had flared up.
Eleanor had a solid foundation to begin with. As long as she followed Salin back to Metatlin City to recuperate for a while, she would be able to recover completely.
She replayed the image in the magic crystal, and saw hundreds of magical beasts surrounding the camp, attacking it with magic. These magical beasts that looked like apes could release many types of magic. However, each magical beast could only release one type, which was probably because there were differences between the magical beasts.
There were three main methods of attack. The first was magical flames. The magical flames released by these magical beasts had a range of more than 200 meters. They formed three fireballs that spun and flew towards their targets. These magical flames were slightly slower, but unless three Magicians counterattacked at the same time, one of the fireballs would survive and hit the camp.
There were also magic arrays on the metal barracks. To defend against this Level-4 Fireball, they had to rely on the magic cores in the magic arrays. However, judging from the battle scene, Rex's mages were very smart. They only used a low-level spell to destroy the stability of the fireball, so that two of the three fireballs disappeared automatically, and only one landed on the barracks.
In the end, he was still a human. He knew how to fight with the lowest consumption. The magical beasts didn't even deliberately destroy the walls. It was extremely difficult to destroy the metal walls, but they were very short, and the magical beasts could directly climb over them. The problem was that if they did not destroy the walls, the magical beasts' attack efficiency would become very low.
Salin was sweating profusely. If he were to build the camp, he would build the walls of the camp to be more than six meters high and directly build an arrow tower behind the walls. If that was the case, the magical beasts would go all out to destroy the walls. With so many magical beasts, it would be too easy to destroy the walls.
Rex's wall was only two meters tall. Magical beasts could easily climb over it, but it was three times thicker.
Salin went back to study the defense of the camp again, and only then did he understand the necessity of many details.
The other two spells were also offensive. Magical beasts basically didn't have any support spells. One of them was the ice arrow that Salin was good at. This was originally a level-three spell, but Salin had already advanced it to the lethality of a level-four spell. These magical beasts also shot level-four ice arrows.
Ice arrows were much more annoying than fireballs, especially in terms of breaking armor. Ice arrows could make most materials brittle and reduce defense. Rex's mages didn't have a good way to deal with ice arrows. They could only prepare an ice shield on the barracks' defensive magic array. This was an unpopular defensive spell that could weaken the attack of water spells.
The wounds on the barracks were caused by the ice arrows. The mages had to repair them after dawn.
The magical beasts' third spell was Berserk. Berserk was a level-four spell, but it was very difficult for humans to learn. After these magical beasts went berserk, the surface of their bodies would have a petrifying effect, and their bodies would also become larger.
After going berserk, the magical beasts climbed over the walls and fought with the human warriors.
After seeing the three skills of this magical beast, Salin knew that if it wasn't for defending the camp, it wouldn't be a problem for Nelis to escape alone. That was because these three skills didn't pose a threat to Nelis. Be it fireballs or ice arrows, they weren't enough to hurt Nelis, who was protected by lightning. As for the berserk magical beasts, they couldn't beat Nelis, who was comparable to the strongest demon.
Nelis's close combat ability was the same as Trish's. They were about to reach the level of a Great Demon. If Nelis wanted to escape, these magical beasts wouldn't be able to stop her. However, Nelis had to wait for him and watch over Eleanor, so she could only stay and resist the attacks of the magical beasts.
After seeing all the magic images, Salin realized that Rex's mages suspected that Nelis was responsible for the deaths of the two level-five mages, so they weren't willing to send anyone to cooperate with Eleanor.
Rex's mages had magic equipment that allowed them to communicate with each other through the soul, so they could confirm if their companions were dead.
"Nelis, you did the right thing." Salin was also angry about this. The two level-five mages didn't listen to Rex's orders and insisted on meeting up at the top of the mountain. That was already troublesome. In order to increase their speed, they didn't bring swordsmen with them, which was even more suicidal. Even if they brought two swordsmen to protect them, they wouldn't be easily killed by the parasites.
"Salin, don't spoil her." Sicca warned from the side. She wanted to hit Nelis's head with a stick when she saw how smug Nelis was.
"No, Sicca, some of the powers around Rex are unreliable. Rex might not even understand it himself. Don't be fooled by the fact that there are many people who are loyal to her. In my eyes, those people aren't as reliable as these demons. "
Seeing that Sicca didn't understand, Salin could only say it directly. He said, "This time, I have to calculate everything clearly with Rex because of her subordinates. Some of her subordinates follow her because of the loyalty of swordsmen, but there are also many who follow her because of her identity as a member of the Glücos royal family. Once there are any changes to these people, such as a complete break with Sacred Rock City, they will become the biggest trouble. Even if it's the former type of people, they won't be of much benefit to us. If I don't fight for them, they will feel that everything belongs to Rex, and that it's only right and proper. "
Salin hit the nail on the head. Although Rex stated that he was a collaborator, Rex's subordinates didn't think so. In their eyes, everything should belong to Rex, and it had nothing to do with Salin's efforts.
To Rex, this was a sign of loyalty. To Salin, it was an enemy.
"So troublesome." Sicca mumbled, and didn't say anything else. If Salin married Rex, this problem would be easily solved. But to Sicca, Salin had already endured for more than a year. In less than two years, the mages of Seriger Island would arrive. By then, Salin's power would be on par with Rex's.
Under such circumstances, Sicca was unwilling to let Salin marry Rex.
As the highest priest of the Caucasian people, it was impossible for Sicca to marry Salin. But she also didn't want Salin to rely on such means to get through difficulties when he needed help. If Salin became rich in the future, he would have countless soldiers and mages under him. Of course, she wouldn't mind Salin marrying someone like Rex, because that would be equivalent to annexation. Now, Salin would be relying on others.
So she was very happy that Salin and Rex had calculated everything clearly. As for reprimanding Nelis, she was afraid that Nelis would cause trouble that Salin couldn't handle. Although Nelis said that she sent Rolla to protect the two mages, Sicca didn't believe it at all. Under the protection of the demons, the two mages might not die. At most, Rolla would be monitoring them.
"It's easy to break out, but I don't want you to be in any danger." Although Salin was talking to Eleanor, he actually included the three demons.
"There's definitely more than one type of magical beast. The ones that are harassing the camp are suitable to fight on the hillside. If we leave the mountain, there will be more difficult opponents." Salin was calculating. This time, they had spent about five months in the temple. The battles in the temple were very simple, but in these five months, a large number of magical beasts had appeared outside the temple. This meant that the resurrection of the gods in this space wasn't far away.
Maybe it would be one or two hundred years, or maybe only eight to ten years.
"Eleanor, when your injuries are healed, we'll leave. I'll ask Rex for a mage to fight with you. Zola, you and Sue will take four demons and protect Eleanor. Sicca and Nelis will protect me. "
Salin paused, thought for a while, and took out twelve level-five magic scrolls. These magic scrolls were all single-target attacks. They were not used against the imps. He stuffed the scrolls into Eleanor's hands and said, "When the battle is urgent, try not to use magic strings. You can use scrolls."
Salin still felt worried. Eleanor was very knowledgeable. After bringing her back to Metatlin City, he didn't even want Eleanor to be responsible for any combat problems. He wanted Eleanor to teach the mages around him special knowledge, such as elven magic. A mage like Eleanor was very precious to the mages of the Myers Continent.
Eleanor smiled and patted the bow and arrow beside her. "I still have this." She was already used to Salin's "generosity," because this guy also had very hateful times. For example, he refused to return the bracelet to her.
Salin smiled and said, "That bracelet is Trish's. I can't give it to you. When I go back, I'll refine another piece of equipment for you. You can use this first. You have to return it to me. "
As Salin spoke, he handed his white crystal ring to Eleanor. This white crystal ring was given to him by Jason. Now, it seemed to be a very precious piece of equipment, but Salin couldn't bear to give it away. This was his teacher's first gift. Eleanor's mental strength was already very strong in the eyes of others, close to the level of a Magic Shooter. However, if her magic strings were exhausted, she would have to fight with a bow and arrow. Using an elven bow and arrow also consumed mental strength.
