Earl Bessita listened from the side. He knew Salin's intentions, so he did not raise any objections. What he was most afraid of was Salin getting hot-headed and finding trouble with Antos.
Salin's offer of a reward was a warning to Antos not to go against Metatlin. Now that the world was becoming more and more chaotic, there were many people who dared to assassinate Antos.
Once the reward was issued, Antos would either continue to go against Salin, or find someone to mediate and ask Salin to take back the reward.
Asking Salin to take back the reward was equivalent to saying that Antos had given in, and the money Salin had to pay would have to be paid by Antos. Including the interest, the cost of taking back the reward would be at least a hundred thousand gold coins.
Salin's counterattack seemed neither light nor heavy, but in reality, he had purposely stayed here and let the Winged Skeletons face the enemy. He already had the intention to kill. Twenty thousand soldiers wanted to besiege him. Wouldn't the Winged Skeletons' continuous summoning for more than a year be a waste of time?
A large part of the reason why Salin's magic cores were consumed so quickly was because of the Winged Skeletons. The Jade Skeletons created by the Winged Skeletons had intelligence and could summon the undead. Other than piloting the warship and training the navy, these skeletons spent the rest of their time helping Salin to store the undead army.
Salin did not have that many Green Spirits. If the summoned undead wanted to maintain their combat power, they had to set up a large magic array and absorb energy from the Death Plane to feed these undead.
Most of the Green Spirit Gems were in the hands of the Winged Skeletons, and they had stored more than fifty thousand undead. The rest had to be supported by the magic cores.
Many of these networks were brought out this time for Rex to use as the soldiers on the warship. Since they had been attacked, it was good to let the undead and Qin Yin's army fight and use them as practice targets for the Winged Skeletons.
Salin did not continue questioning the six white-robed Mages. He only said to the two injured Mages, "The person who hit you is called Trish. Do you hate her?"
The two Mages looked up. The long whip in Trish's hand had already disappeared. She stood behind Salin, her eyes cold. The two white-robed Mages smiled bitterly. "Trish is Sir's person. How dare we …"
"It's good that you don't dare. I was afraid that you would die for no reason. Mages are precious. Don't risk your lives. What level are you guys at? "
"My Lord, we are all second-rank magicians. There are no third-rank magicians in Qin Yin's army. The third-rank magicians are all thinking of ways to become great magicians."
"A Level 2 Wizard is still useful." Salin's words made the white-robed Mages feel a little discouraged. They thought that Salin wanted to recruit followers, but they didn't expect that Salin didn't care about their strength. Just then, Eleanor and Isabella walked into the room.
"Master!"
When the six white-robed Mages saw the two female Mages in gray robes, their fantasies were shattered. On the robes of these two female Magi, there were three magic symbols, the symbol of a sixth-rank Great Magus.
It seemed like Salin's follower had to be at least at this level.
Of course, Salin wouldn't casually sign a follower's contract. There was a limit to how many follower's contracts a mage could sign. It depended on how strong the mage's mental strength was. If he signed too many contracts, it would be easy for loopholes to appear.
According to the contract Salin signed, Nelis, the Winged Skeleton, Nicholas, Zola, and Sue were all experts above Level Six. Signing any one of them would require two or more contract slots. Nicholas alone had to occupy six contract slots in order to stabilize the contract.
Furthermore, for a low-level follower to sign a contract, it would require at least one contract slot. How could Salin waste it on a Level 2 Mage?
To other sixth-rank Great Magi, a Level 2 Mage as a follower was already considered good. Salin couldn't do that, he needed the best talents.
At this time, Dorothy came in and told Salin about the arrangements at the city wall. Salin nodded. "Bessita, the enemy only has a little more than twenty thousand people. The battle will end soon. I need to go to Great Liang City as soon as possible. After the battle, I will let Bing create some Zombie Soldiers and Zombies for you to stay behind to help you defend. "
"Your Highness, thank you …" Bessita knew that Salin was worried that Qin Yinren would still come looking for trouble after he left.
"You don't have to thank me. This time, I wanted to give Holy Rock City a warning. I might have gone overboard." After Salin finished speaking, he said to the six white-robed Mages, "Follow me to Great Liang City. Before we go, we need to sign a contract. Hmm … "Salin thought for a moment, then asked Eleanor and Isabella," Do you need manpower? "
Eleanor shook her head. She didn't need male Mages. If she needed manpower, she could ask Shika for a few female Caucasian Warriors. She might even be able to train one or two Mages.
Isabella also shook her head. With Salin, she didn't need any apprentices. Everything would be taken care of by Salin. If she wanted these Mages, she would have to pay for them herself.
The six white-robed Mages were a little anxious. They didn't think that there would be a day when they would become a burden that no one needed.
"Your Highness, give them to me," Dorothy said. Dorothy opened her mouth. She was good at mental spells and did not like melee combat. If she could get a few Mages to teach them, their mental power would skyrocket, and they would soon reach level three. They would be good helpers.
Salin glanced at the other Demons. Trish and the others all shook their heads.
Trish didn't need helpers. If he had a choice, he was willing to lead tens of thousands of Demons into battle. Rolla fought like a human Swordsman. His skills were almost at the level of a Sword Saint. Eva was a Demon who fought with strength. She didn't plan to take in Mages either.
"Okay, I'll leave them to you. But Dorothy, I don't want them to die in a few years," Salin warned Dorothy. Demons had to be suppressed at all times. Otherwise, they might cause trouble at any time. If the Mages Salin subdued didn't end well, who would dare to follow him in the future?
"Of course not, Your Highness. If I did that, Master Nelis would kill me," Dorothy replied with a smile. He was already imagining that after he promoted the six human Mages to Level 4, he would have six Great Mages behind him to protect him. It would be much safer in battles.
As for whether the six of them could advance again, it wasn't something he needed to consider. It had always been humans subduing demons. Now, it was finally his turn to subdue humans.
The six white-robed Mages had no choice but to sign a contract with the delicate Dorothy. Seeing the symbols on the contract, the white-robed Mages even felt a little hopeless. What did they see? It was the Demon Language!
Dorothy smiled at the six human Mages. "Not bad, not bad. You are all very knowledgeable. You actually know the Demon Language. I'm a Demon. I'm Master Nelis's Demon. If you don't listen to me in the future … "
"Dorothy?" Salin squinted at Dorothy.
Dorothy immediately changed her words. "If you don't listen to me, you won't have the chance to advance. I will make you great Mages. You can learn Demon Magic! "
One of the white-robed Mages said absentmindedly. "Why is it like this …"
Salin watched from the side. Dorothy didn't have any means to threaten them. He was depressed. Why was it so difficult for him to subdue a few weak humans? The humans who signed the contract actually looked down on him!
Seeing Dorothy's expression, Salin frowned. "Dorothy, what benefits can you give them? Just say it. Don't waste time. Then, the four of you, go and help Bing. Hurry up and repel the enemies."
Seeing that Trish was also staring at her, Dorothy hurriedly said to the Mages, "In a month, I will let you advance to third-level Mages. In a year, you will reach the peak of third-level Mages. As for when you will become Great Mages, it will be up to you."
Dorothy said straightforwardly. The six Mages still didn't quite believe her.
Dorothy said hatefully, "If we don't have to fight now, I will let you experience it immediately. Humph. Follow me."
"Wait." Salin stopped Dorothy. He took out six low-level staffs and twenty-four low-level scrolls and handed them to the six white-robed Mages. "Use them first. If you need anything, just tell Dorothy. I think he will be very willing to help you."
Although Salin wanted to suppress the newly subdued Mages, he didn't want to see the humans being played by the Demons. The six Mages were given to Dorothy. Dorothy would have to take care of them in the future. Salin couldn't pay for everything. Otherwise, why would he need the Demons?
The six Mages followed behind Dorothy dejectedly. After everyone left, Salin discussed the itinerary with Eleanor and the others. This place was still far from Daliang City, but with Salin's speed, he could definitely get there in three days. However, Salin wasn't sure if Marquis Antos would fly into a rage after he left.
If that happened, Antos would definitely continue to send troops to attack. If Salin left, Earl Bessita would be in trouble. But Salin knew that Earl Bessita wouldn't give up this town and run away unless Rex gave the order.
He could contact Rex, but the Earl's escape would be another blow to the Kushui Prefectural Kingdom. The Kushui Prefectural Kingdom was fighting with Qin Yin for Jialou Lan's territory. If they gave in, the people of Jialou would probably all go to Qin Yin's army.
Salin thought of the assassin beside Rex, the old man named Byrne. If he could kill Antos, he could save a lot of trouble.
While Salin was thinking about the arrangements after he left, the battle at the north gate of the town unexpectedly became more intense. The Wing Skeletons had angered General Qin Yin. The army immediately pushed forward. Large-scale siege weapons were also pushed to a distance of four miles from the town and stones were thrown into the town.
According to the intelligence, the catapults in the town had an attack range of less than three miles.
The city immediately launched a counterattack. More than a hundred catapults hurled stones at Qin Yin's position. Without any calibration, without any field survey, and without the guidance of a low-level Magician, these catapults simply smashed randomly according to the marked scale. After all, the top of the city wall had already estimated the distance of the enemy.
