Even if Salin wasn't moved by this suggestion, the nobles around him would be. Sending troops to Mars City was just an opportunity. Whether they could intervene or not depended on Sacred Rock City's attitude. But if Rex was determined to build a city, then there was no need to worry about Sacred Rock City.
In the end, Salin still tempted Rex to invest in building a fleet.
The reason was simple. There was a huge lake between Qin Yin, Cloud Flow, and Titan. This lake covered an area of nearly a thousand miles. It was almost an inland ocean.
If there was a fleet active here, all the cities around the lake would be targets for attack.
Rex knew that Jia Loulan had already expanded its territory. A few hundred miles behind him was that lake. If he wanted to attack Cloud Flow or the south of Qin Yin, that would be a good choice.
Rex also knew what Salin wanted. The real blueprints of the Glucos family's submersible warship and a large number of Mages.
"Alright, alright." Rex said to Salin helplessly, "I'll give you the blueprints. Help me build a fleet. I'll provide the money and Mages. I'll send five hundred low-level Mages and a thousand high-level apprentices to Metatlin City to join your alchemy factory. After next spring, send the fleet to me. "
"So many!" Salin was stunned.
"Father left it to me. Otherwise, do you think I would have the determination to enter Jia Loulan? This won't affect the development of Kushui Prefecture, but after they follow you … "
Salin smiled. "The treatment won't be bad. I know how you treat Mages."
"That's good. Hurry up and buy materials. No matter how big the inland lake is, it's not as dangerous as the sea. But there's a Cloud Flow fleet there, so my ship must be the best."
"Don't worry. I'll send a white bone warship along. But a warship can easily be more than a hundred meters long. I can't move it in one piece."
"I'll advance to Magic Shooter soon. When that time comes, the Shenluo Ring will be able to unleash its true power. A hundred-meter warship is nothing. As long as I have enough spiritual power, I can fit it in.
Only then did Salin realize that Rex was much more powerful than he had imagined. Who knew what Emperor Charnak had left for her before he died?
Having a good background was a million times easier than being poor.
The only thing that Emperor Chanak did not expect was that Rex would be able to establish a country so quickly and expand the army by ten times. She did not lack money, materials, or mages. She just lacked the armor, weapons, and bows that were the easiest to obtain.
These things could have been purchased legally with Rex's identity. However, Rex was in urgent need of help. He was in such a hurry to solve this problem within a month, but he couldn't ask for help from Holy Rock City, so he asked Salin for help.
Salin found it strange that Rex lacked magic cores.
After discussing military affairs, it was agriculture. Rex didn't hide that he wanted to take over Phoenix because he had his eyes on the land there. Metatlin's land was also very fertile, but the planting time was very short. Once there was a change in the weather, there might be no harvest. Therefore, Salin only dared to grow vegetables.
Vegetables would mature in a month or two, but grain was different, so he could not catalyze it.
The climate of Kushui County was not much better than that of Metatlin. It was close to the mountains and the land was barren. Even the underground water was mostly bitter. If not for the snow in the mountains, which could provide fresh water, Kushui County could not even feed a million people.
After taking over half of Phoenix, Salin and Rex's kingdom, they would not have to worry about food anymore.
Rex's battle in Jialoulan was to train an elite army as soon as possible. Right now, her home was still in Phoenix. If not for the reaction of Holy Rock City, she even wanted to push the army to the border and build a fortress opposite Guderian City, completely sealing off the road to Qin Yin.
Salin had been struggling for almost two years, but he had never had such a good view of the big picture. The situation in the world was what the royal family was best at grasping. Salin had been lucky to temporarily control the resources of the Frozen Sea. If not for the large number of magic cores provided by the Frozen Sea, Salin would not have been able to support so many troops.
Rex still left. In the short span of two days, she and Salin had exchanged thousands of opinions, and made their final choices one by one. Fortunately, both of them were mages and could use magic to help them remember.
Salin had the same thought as Rex. He sent Nicholas to escort Rex back.
The strongest person Salin could mobilize was Nicholas. Salin could not let go of anyone else who was strong enough. Nicholas had no choice but to accept Salin's order. He really did not want to get close to the army of the Vatican. If he was discovered, who knew what the Vatican would send to deal with him.
After a deep discussion with Rex, Salin completely understood his direction. Martian City was much more important than he had imagined. Rex had left a large number of gold coins for him to hire labor to build the city.
Salin had a plan. Martian City, Lateral Star City, and Saturn Star City were all originally militarized towns. After they were all rebuilt, it would be equivalent to building a gate between the most important north and south roads of Phoenix.
Martian City had to expand to be able to house at least 200,000 people and 100,000 troops. The towns on both sides had to be expanded to be able to house at least 40,000 people. He would use the three cities to separate Phoenix and reclaim the land in the north. All the food harvested would be for his own use and would not be sold.
In ten years, he would have the capital to support millions of troops.
Rex had left a lot of materials, enough for him to start work and arm the army. This time, Salin wanted to build the Temple Army first.
This Temple Army was Salin's personal army. It was made up of three battalions. These 30,000 people would be paired with 120,000 demons. Each flag regiment would have 4,000 demons. In the future, the Temple Army would be Salin's core force to suppress all nobles who dared to resist. These 30,000 humans and 120,000 demons would be equivalent to the royal swordsman battalion of Sacred Rock City.
The Temple Army's hierarchy was the standard for the demon army. For every 2,000 humans, there would be 8,000 demons.
As Salin's power expanded, more and more nobles would join him. Salin had to be strong enough to intimidate the nobles. Otherwise, it was not impossible for them to rebel.
Because he had not summoned the demons, Salin's Temple Army's equipment was a little strange.
The Demon Wolf Warriors had completely become scouts. They were not in the three battalions. There were about 2,000 of them. Salin did not want to rely on these Caucasians to charge on the Demon Wolves. He would have a large number of demons in the future. Those demons would be the main force in battle.
In fact, when the Temple Army was complete, there would be 15 battalions. Each battalion would have two human flag regiments.
The demons would be heavy cavalry, heavy infantry, and light cavalry. The two human flag regiments would be commanders. The flag commander of each flag regiment could command the demons of four flag regiments. Then, there would be a battalion commander with 200 personal soldiers. He would be the overall commander of a battalion. Salin gave his best equipment to the Temple Army first, such as elven wings and elven alchemy crossbows.
The court swordsman battalion would be the Temple Army's supplement. If the Temple Army suffered losses, they would be transferred from the court swordsman battalion to make up for the losses.
The alchemy factory produced the equipment Salin needed. If he did not arm the Temple Army first, Salin would not feel safe. Without his own core force, how could he talk about subduing the nobles in the world?
Metatlin City seemed to have regained its peace. Ainphent went to build the city. The second battalion led the nobles' army to Mars City. Besides training, Salin went to the alchemy factory every day to check on the equipment's production progress.
On this day, Salin was stopped on his way back to the Temple of Light.
"Brother Salin!" A girl in a long dress stood in front of him. Neris was not by his side. Isabella accompanied him and hundreds of soldiers. The soldiers wanted to attack when they saw someone blocking the way.
Salin waved his hand and said, "Sharman, are you looking for me?"
"Yes, Brother Salin. What about the thing you promised me?"
Salin smiled and said, "Can't you go to the Temple to find me? Why are you blocking the way? "
Sharman said with a sad face, "I can't get close to your Temple at all. No matter what I say, those Caucasians won't let me go."
Only then did Salin remember that he had ordered that except for the Temple Army and the people of Seriger Island, no one could get close to the Temple.
"Then come with me." Salin waved Sharman to his side. He did not ride a horse in the city. He walked all the time. Sharman smiled and pulled Salin's sleeve. "Brother Salin, do you miss me?"
The girl's smile was not seductive at all. It was just naive. Salin's mood improved. He patted Sharman's hand and said, "Don't beat around the bush. You want to be a general, right?"
"Yes."
"What did your sister say?" Salin asked for Guya's opinion. Guya was one of the first dukes he had conferred, and she was also a great sorcerer. She was the closest noble to him.
"Sister said that if I want to be a real general, it's best to be your follower first."
"Haha!" Salin laughed loudly. This Guya was very smart. If her sister did not become his follower, she would at most be a general in command of ten thousand elites. If she became his follower, her future would be bright.
"Sharman, are you willing to be my follower?" Salin smiled and asked the girl beside him.
Sharman said awkwardly, "Brother Salin, why should I be your follower?"
"So you're not willing?" Salin deliberately teased Sharman. Although a girl like her was strong enough, her heart was still very pure.
"No, I just want to know what's in it for me."
"I want to establish the most elite army, and I need a general. A general, not a general, but a title. For such a position, I have to make the people around me trust him. "
"Then, I have to learn from them in the future and call you master?" Sharman pouted unwillingly.
