[Perseverance is the most important thing. I will maintain this speed. Brothers and sisters, throw your monthly votes at me.]
Salin looked at the generals present, thought for a moment, and said, "In July, Rex came to Metatlin City and signed an alliance with me. This alliance concerns two countries. The Bitter Water Prefectural Kingdom and the Metatlin Kingdom. "
Salin spoke solemnly, and the generals listened attentively. Salin continued, "Even without this alliance, I would still be here today. Because a few years ago, when I was still a mere level-2 Mage, it was Rex who helped me. I leave Scotia. Many people might think that the people of Scotia only care about money. "
Salin's tone became relaxed, and the generals couldn't help but laugh. This king, a great Mage, didn't put on any airs.
"I'm indeed a person who loves gold coins very much. It's just that Rex gave it to me. I'll never forget it. Today, I did not come here for the alliance between the two countries. My subjects and I, along with your Duke, will guard every inch of the Kushui Prefecture. Whether the enemy is the Church or the enormous Cloud Flow Empire, I, Salin, will never retreat. I, Metatlin, will never retreat. "
"This is not an oath made by a king, but a promise made by a Mage."
When Salin said this, everyone became serious. A Mage's promise would never be changed.
"I brought a fleet. In order to let everyone do the rest in peace, Kind Tree, introduce this fleet." As Salin spoke, he gestured to Kind Tree beside him.
Rex's smile was strange. She knew that Salin wouldn't give up his prefecture, and knew that Salin valued relationships. She was smiling because Salin had gotten someone from the Bitter Water Prefectural Kingdom to pretend to be a Necromancer.
Kind Tree was an inconspicuous person. Although he was a high-ranked swordsman, he had never appeared in front of others. Kind Tree was Earl Bessita's trusted aide, but he was newly selected and sent to the border town. His family had followed Earl Bessita for generations. In the Bitter Water Prefectural Kingdom, not many people knew about him.
Kind Tree swallowed hard, his body heating up. The Winged Skeleton's voice sounded in his mind, and he could only follow its instructions. He said, "This time, His Highness has brought a fleet of Necromancers."
As Kind Tree spoke, he waved his hand. The Winged Skeleton immediately walked up from behind and set up a Magic Projection Formation on the table.
"These are six White Bone Battleships, 120 meters long, carrying 200 human soldiers and 800 undead. Every battleship was equipped with an Advanced Magic Compass and an Undead's Gaze Magic Array. Its main weapon was a Large Magic Stone Cannon that could attack targets up to five kilometers away. Their secondary weapons were twelve medium-sized Magic Stone Cannons, which could attack targets up to five miles away. The battleship was powered by necromancy magic and did not have sails. Within five miles, there are twenty-four catapults, sixty alchemy crossbows, and twelve fire-breathing dragons. "
The winged skeleton did not let Mu En reveal the specific functions of the white bone battleship. It only showed the main weapon, and the generals of the Bitter Water Prefecture looked much better.
As Kind Mu continued to introduce the other smaller warships, Salin relaxed. He saw that all the generals had regained their confidence. Everyone was listening attentively to Kind Mu's introduction.
Salin was confident that he could destroy the enemy's main battleships, but he could not guarantee that his fleet could stop the Cloud Flow people from boarding. The Cloud Flow people's transport ships were also powerful magic battleships. If they could not sink these battleships, the Cloud Flow people would rush ashore and march into Great Liang City.
What Salin needed to do was very simple. He needed to raise everyone's morale and fight on land. He had to be prepared for this. The Cloud Flow people had dominated the seas for thousands of years. No matter how good his battleship was, it would not be able to obtain an overwhelming advantage.
The best result would be for both sides to suffer losses. The difference was that the Cloud Flow people would lose their navy, while Salin would lose his undead. The terrifying thing about the undead army was that as long as he had enough time and magic cores, Salin could continue to summon them at any time and replenish his army.
Kind Mu explained for more than an hour before he finished introducing the battleships Salin had brought. Salin then continued to say to the generals, "The Cloud Flow fleet is invincible on the sea. However, I have confidence that the undead fleet can destroy their catapults, magic stone cannons, and large alchemy crossbows. I need everyone to defend this place."
As he spoke, Salin stood up and stretched out his hand to point on the magic map. The place he pointed was the rocky area on the east side of the lake near Qin Yin.
"In ten days, I will build an undead castle here to threaten the flank of the Cloud Flow army. It will be difficult to expand the town on the front, and it will be difficult to defend with 10,000 troops. "
"The Cloud Flow people will come ashore?" A general asked.
"If they really come with a million people, I can guarantee that no more than 600,000 will come ashore," Salin replied with a smile.
The reason why Salin was so confident was that he did not introduce the submersible battleship and the Coiled Turtle alchemy ship. The submersible battleship was not big, but it posed a greater threat to the transport ships than any other battleship. It had been tested and could move at a depth of 100 meters underwater. Unless an Archmage observed it carefully, it would be impossible to be discovered.
If the submersible battleship got close, the transport ships would be like fish on the chopping board.
The Cloud Flow people claimed that they would transport a million troops, but in reality, it was impossible. A specialized troop transport ship that could transport ten thousand people? It would be good enough if there were 5,000.
100 transport ships could only transport 500,000 people, not to mention the soldiers, equipment, and logistics. The Cloud Flow people had less than 200 ships of medium size and above in the sea.
Mu En performed under the watchful eyes of the crowd, and his heart relaxed instead. Rex knew him, but no one else knew anything about him.
After comforting Rex's subordinates and waiting for the generals to leave, Salin told Rex the specific number of equipment he had brought. After all the materials and parts were assembled, there were six large battleships, 30 medium battleships, and 120 small battleships. In fact, it was more than the size of an entire fleet.
The large and medium battleships were equipped with newly made magic stone cannons. The small battleships still had bone catapults because they did not have the chance to change their weapons.
There was a spiritual pool on each battleship, which could still be used as a long-range attack with the Blood Tear Stones carried by the Bone Spirits.
The six bone battleships were captained by Jade Skull. Each of them commanded five medium battleships and 20 small battleships. Each division was equipped with two submersible battleships. The two submersible battleships would not join the battle. The 20 submersible battleships would search for the enemy's transport ships.
As for the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship, it was operated by Wing Skull himself.
The Cloud Flow people would not wait too long. Once they had enough battleships, they would launch an attack. According to the intelligence, the Cloud Flow people's fleet would arrive at the north coast of the sea by November at the latest, ready to attack Daliang City.
Rex had 300,000 troops in the west, confronting the Tanggulas Empire's army. Now there were less than 200,000 people in Daliang City, of which 100,000 were Rex's main force. The other 10,000 were Salin's First Battalion. Although Salin's Sixth Battalion had new equipment and unparalleled combat power, compared to his First Battalion, they were much worse.
As soon as Salin arrived at Daliang City, the First Battalion was handed back to him. When Salin left, he would take the First Battalion with him, and then send another two battleships to support Rex's war. After a few rounds of rotation, Salin's main force would be reborn.
Although Daliang City was a newly expanded city, it was not small. Rex also rebuilt the new city according to the scale of the population of more than a million. The original city body was not enough, so it was directly transformed into an inner city. Outside, an irregular large city with three layers of walls was built according to the terrain.
When Rex first arrived here, he desperately built the city. This Daliang City had once blocked the 300,000 troops of the Tanggulas people. Salin followed Rex around the city wall and did not find anything that needed his help. Rex's city defense equipment was sufficient, not worse than his own. Instead, Salin learned a lot of city defense skills from Rex.
"Rex, I can rest assured about this Daliang City. I am going to the sea to build the Bone Castle. There, I want to garrison 50,000 troops. In the battle of the sea, I will try to destroy the Cloud Flow people's troop transport ships. There will not be too many Cloud Flow people who can go ashore. If we can annihilate a million troops, from then on, no one in the Myers Continent will dare to directly attack us. "Salin looked into the distance from the city wall, feeling heroic.
If the Cloud Flow people sent a million troops on land, Salin would also be helpless. However, to the west of the sea was the mountainous area of the Titan Duchy. It was very difficult to pass through, and they had to pass through the land controlled by the Tanggulas people. The Cloud Flow people thought that their fleet was invincible. They wanted to enter the Bitter Water Prefectural Kingdom at the sea and attack Daliang City. This was a chance for Salin and Rex to become famous.
With a lone army of 200,000 against a million troops, this battle was bound to go down in history.
Rex also looked into the distance. She said to Salin beside her, "If there was no alliance between the two countries, would you really come?"
"Of course. Emperor Cloud Flow humiliated you, which is the same as humiliating me. Besides, sooner or later, we will destroy his empire … "
"Humph, anyway, I will listen to you. After killing the Cloud Flow envoy, you can't get away if you don't help me." Rex's words were filled with annoyance. She seemed to be very dissatisfied with Salin's answer.
"Rex …"
"That's enough. I am going to rest. I am very tired these days when you were not here." Rex interrupted Salin. She led her Black Iron Sword Saints down the city wall.
Salin was a little confused. He turned around and asked Isabella and Eleanor, "What did I say wrong?"
"Master, you said nothing wrong. That is why the princess is angry." Eleanor laughed. Isabella also shook her head. Rex's words just now were obviously hoping to hear another answer from Salin.
As a noble prince and the main heir of the Glücos royal family, Rex couldn't take the initiative to express anything to Salin. Rex was already tempted by Salin's long journey to help. Now, all she needed was for Salin to take the initiative. However, most of Salin's attention was on dealing with the Cloud Flow fleet. The other half was on Metatlin City and Sicar. How could he think of proposing marriage to Rex?
