The biggest hidden danger of building a demon army was that if it went out of control, imps and familiars would use their powerful reproductive ability to occupy the Myer Continent. Although demons' reproductive ability was not as good as imps, their survival ability was stronger. As a commander, they could drive imps and familiars to occupy more land, not to mention there were Greater Demons and Demon Gods above them.
If a Demon God came to the Myer Continent, it would definitely cause a disaster.
Qin Yin had hundreds of millions of people, but less than a million elite soldiers. Rex was a member of the royal family and had his father's financial and weapons support. He only had two elite swordsmen battalions. If demons were allowed to proliferate in the Myer Continent, it would be impossible to control.
Neris's proposal to build the demon castle and the six Demon God Armors made Salin less worried.
The demon castle could control loyalty, the Demon God Armors could increase combat power, and the most basic demon soldiers could use the Demon Breaking Armors to control their behavior.
After hearing Neris's reason, Salin dispelled the idea of taking her treasured items. Until now, Salin only had about a thousand elite soldiers, most of which were brought from the Seriger Island. Now that Neris could organize the demon army, Salin's own soldiers could be slowly trained. It would be fine as long as they could defend Metatlin City.
However, Salin still let Neris put a large number of salvaged materials in his warehouse. He only let Neris keep the ready-made materials and equipment that he could use.
Even so, the things that Neris fished out from the sea filled the three floors of Salin's warehouse.
In the end, Rex still left. She took 10,000 elites with her, as well as a battalion that Salin had sent for training. Together with her own 20,000 auxiliary soldiers, the 40,000 troops marched toward the border of Phoenix. Although it was a few months later than Holy Rock City's request, winter had just passed, and the Vatican hadn't organized an attack, so there weren't any mistakes.
Salin calculated that it was not far from the opening of the Seriger Island. In a year and a half at most, the mages of the Seriger Island would arrive in large numbers. This gave Salin some confidence. The army of the Vatican couldn't break through the defense line in such a short time. Besides, he had a secret agreement with Faka. Faka would definitely pay attention to control and prevent the people of the Vatican from causing trouble in his city.
He had a good plan, but how could he know that his position had already been exposed?
The Pope offered a reward for finding him. The young mage in the dream looked exactly like Salin. The Divine Spirit's reaction made the Pope take this matter seriously. Their dreams coincidentally connected, allowing Dinicio to discover Salin's secret.
The Pope had even issued an outrageous secret order to search for him, a wizard. In the end, the black-robed bishop of the Inquisition, the person who had almost killed Salin, finally could not hold it in any longer and told the Pope about what had happened outside Metatlin.
When the Pope heard that there was actually a city in this world, and that there was a fellow who possessed the faith of an evil god, his heart turned cold. He would listen to every oracle. A few years ago, there was an oracle that said the followers of the Evil God had appeared in this world. At the time, he did not take it to heart, but today, after hearing the black-robed bishop's report, the Pope suddenly remembered the oracle he had received years ago and knew that he had been careless.
There can be no other gods than Me.
This was the content written in the Code of the Holy See by the God of Light. Once the believers of other gods appeared on the Myers Continent, they must be immediately obliterated.
This wizard actually existed. Pope Dinicio originally issued that order with an attitude of believing it to be true, but he did not expect that the people of the Inquisition had long known of this person's existence.
However, the Pope could not deal with the Inquisition because of this. This news should have been told to him long ago. Now, this wizard's city probably already had a strong defense.
The bastard of the Inquisition must have wanted him to secretly deal with that wizard, but because there was no time and no free manpower, they had been hiding it from him. The order he gave made the people of the Inquisition think that they could not hide it anymore, so they took the initiative to tell him. If not for that weird dream, he would still be in the dark.
No matter how good Dinicio's temper was, he hated the black-robed bishop who hid the news.
Now, 20% of the Holy See's power was stabilizing the Titan Duchy, 20% was wrangling with Scochenya, and more than half of the power had already gathered at the border of Kyloulan and Qin Yin. This time, they had to attack Qin Yin in one fell swoop, where would they have the energy to deal with that evil wizard?
"Your Holiness, why don't we organize a free expeditionary force and start a war from the borders of Phoenix?" A cardinal suggested to Dinicio.
"Freedom expeditionary force?"
"Yes, we will recruit freedom believers, and let the Tanggulas Empire send out an army of a hundred thousand to destroy that city."
"But what about the general? Do we need those rotten nobles to guide our believers? "
"Get some people from the Black Prison. This time, the three Chief Inquisitors won't go against you."
"Black Prison, hmm, that's fine too, those people..." The Pope did not continue. The people of Black Prison were cruel and terrifying. To deal with evil believers, these people would fight fire with fire. However, this could not be said out loud. It was best not to let the people of Black Prison out, or else it would be difficult to control them.
"Go ahead." The Pope did not go to the three chief judges personally. This kind of thing could not be left in the records. He had no other choice. Currently, only Black Prison still had a large number of priests. These people entered Black Prison, other than some problems with their faith, most of them had committed crimes. Dinicio did not want to have anything to do with these people, so he let his subordinates negotiate with the Red Robed Bishop.
This Red Robed Bishop was originally a suggestion, but in the end, he brought trouble upon himself. He was involved with the people of Black Prison, so he could forget about competing for the position of Pope in the future. However, he did not dare to disobey the Pope's orders, so he could only discuss with the people of the Inquisition.
In the fifth month, an army assembled in the Duchy of Divine Grace. This army was divided into two parts. The core was a army of about twenty-five thousand people from the Tanggulas Empire, and the other was a hundred thousand volunteers. The ultimate goal of this army was Metatlin City.
In these two weeks, the Church's intelligence agency had found a lot of information about Metatlin City. This was a city with a population of about a hundred thousand. There were thousands of warriors and barbarians. There were a few mages in the city, but there were no Magic Shooters. A hundred thousand soldiers, black robed priests from the Inquisition, and five thousand prison guards would definitely be able to take down this city.
There were also three mysterious figures from the Dark Prison of the Inquisition. These three people had committed crimes in the past and were sentenced to the Inquisition. In the end, under the influence of the three Chief Judges, they became a part of the Inquisition and specialized in killing dissidents.
With such a powerful army, although only twenty percent of the trainees were trained, it was enough to destroy a small to medium-sized city.
Dinicio thought that a city that had just been built would definitely not have a good defense. Although the news he received was delayed for more than half a year, how much could a city in extremely cold land develop in half a year's time?
Salin could not have known about the Church's actions. Tens of thousands of miles away, the Pope was waging a war against him. However, one morning, Salin suddenly received a letter.
This letter was stored in a small magic formation and was sent directly to the city hall. After the mages in the city hall checked and found no danger, they sent it to the Temple of Light. Salin was in front of him.
Salin saw half of the Divine Text on the letter and knew that it was a message from Faka. He did not know why Faka contacted him, so he could only open the letter. The contents of the letter shocked Salin. The Church had actually sent a hundred thousand soldiers to destroy Metatlin City at all costs.
He did not think that a hundred thousand people could attack Metatlin City. There were close to a hundred thousand soldiers in the city. Although they were not elite troops, the core strength had been expanded to five thousand. There were also tens of thousands of Caucasians in charge of the city's defense under the leadership of Shika. With such a force and the special city walls of Metatlin, it would not be a problem to stop a million soldiers.
Salin was worried about Rex's army. The Church's path of advance happened to pass through Rex's defense area. Rex had only stationed ten thousand soldiers there, and it seemed that Rex might not leave the elite swordsman battalion there. Maybe he would only leave two thousand people to accompany the eight thousand support soldiers.
If that was the case, Rex's ten thousand people would be quickly flattened and destroyed by the hundred thousand soldiers.
"Damn it, can't these charlatans wait for a year?" Salin still remembered what Rex had said before he left. His soldiers were more than enough to defend the city, but their field combat ability was not as good as most regular troops. The Church only had twenty thousand regular troops, but the number was too large. Even if they were all at the level of mercenaries, it was not something that his people could resist.
"Master, the Church's army has to stick close to the border of Phoenix because they are afraid of being attacked by the Phoenix army. Look, they happen to pass by Deep Forest Town. "Nelis pointed at the red line on the magic map and said to Salin.
"Deep Forest Town is too small. It cannot be used as a blocking point." Salin took a look and was about to reject it.
"Master, let Rolla and Judy go. Judy will summon the undead, and Rolla will lead a small number of mercenaries and take the opportunity to kill a few Divinities."
"I have to remind Rex's army. Let Dorothy go. That guy's illusions are not bad. If there is danger, it will be easier to escape. "Salin quickly calmed down. There was still too much time for the Church's attack this time. The distance from the Duchy of Divine Grace to the border of Phoenix was more than ten thousand miles.
The troops that the Church had gathered in a hurry could not travel fast. Advancing one hundred and fifty miles a day was probably the limit of this army. It would take more than two months to reach the border of Phoenix. It was more than five thousand miles from here to the border of Phoenix. If only one person was sent, they could arrive in half a month.
