[Fourth update]
Although Cloud Flow controlled the capital of Gushui Prefecture, Great Liang City, there was still a steady stream of intelligence from Great Liang City in Cloud Mist City. Rex spent a lot of money to set up a secret teleportation array in Cloud Mist City, which could send intelligence to Great Liang City at any time.
An inconspicuous letter could decide the outcome of the war.
The latest news was that Cloud Mist City was recruiting soldiers again. The previous intelligence confirmed that there were less than 100,000 elites among the million-strong army last time. This time, Cloud Flow wanted to replenish more than 400,000 soldiers, but they were relying on temporary recruits to make up the numbers.
Rex estimated that there would be about 20,000 to 40,000 soldiers hidden among the 400,000, and the rest would be used as cannon fodder to attack the city.
Salin and Rex didn't care about how many soldiers Cloud Flow sent. The two stayed in the palace every day, studying blueprints and updating the army's equipment.
Rex had 90,000 soldiers in his main force, and Salin had 10,000 on his side. The rest were basically support soldiers. Luckily, Great Liang City didn't need to fight in the field. It was mainly for defense. The real attack would rely on the undead army in the Castle of Bones.
The longer the Cloud Flow people dragged, the more pressure it would put on Great Liang City, but the Wing Skeletons could also summon more undead. The new soldiers of the Cloud Flow people would fight with the skeletons of the undead. The result of mutual exhaustion was acceptable to Salin.
Great Liang City was also recruiting soldiers. It was said that His Highness Rex wanted to build a strong heavy mobile troop. The selection criteria were very high. They had to be at least 1.9 meters tall and have the strength of a Swordsman.
The number of recruits was the size of a flag regiment for now, and it would be gradually expanded in the future. To let the qualified people sign up, the weapons and equipment of the heavy mobile troop were also displayed at the recruitment point in Great Liang City.
This flag regiment would directly listen to Rex's leadership. If they had military merits, they could even enter the royal swordsman camp.
On this day, Salin and Rex were developing the correction magic array for the alchemy crossbow. A royal swordsman came to the alchemy factory and whispered a few words to Rex.
Rex sent the swordsman away without batting an eyelid. Then, he pulled Salin back to the six-story building.
"What is it?" Salin saw that Rex was being secretive.
"Call Eleanor. I found a suspicious person."
"Suspicious person?"
"Remember the sewer that was opened? I used the God Sifting Ring to sense that person's shadow. I confirmed that person's appearance, but I didn't know his appearance or aura. The standard for me to recruit the Heavy Armor Army is based on that person's physique. The people at the recruitment point would strictly measure the physical characteristics of the soldiers who signed up. There were two people who were almost exactly the same as the shadows that the God Sifting Ring had sensed. Let's go catch that guy. "
"Why didn't you call the two Level-8 Magicians?" Salin did not want Eleanor to take the risk. Furthermore, Rex's two followers combined would be more powerful than an experienced level-8 Magic Shooter. They would definitely be more powerful than Eleanor.
"If an 8th Rank High Mage appears, that person will definitely immediately flee. Also, I suspect that this person is in cahoots with your assassin. My God Sieve Ring has a subtle reaction, it's like … a prophecy technique. "
"Eleanor's skills are basically long-range attacks," Salin reminded Rex. In reality, Eleanor's close combat skills weren't too weak either. However, Salin recalled the gnome assassin from before. His instincts told him that Eleanor would be in extreme danger if that assassin got close to her.
"Let Trish accompany her. Nicholas, wait at a distance."
"Wait a moment." Salin thought for a moment and went up to the rooftop alone. Eleanor was meditating. Her magic advancement was slower than that of humans. If not for Salin's urging, she would be like an ordinary elf and let nature take its course. Now, she didn't care about the equipment anymore. She just cultivated her magic in the small building every day.
"Salin, looking for me?" Eleanor sensed Salin's arrival and stopped her meditation. Her Law of Meditation was obviously the best. She could stop it at any time.
"Yes." Salin repeated Rex's words and said, "If you don't want to go, it's fine. Trish and I can take care of that person. "
"It's not a good idea to not go. Master, if this person is the assassin's accomplice, he might not be a creature of this plane. I haven't told you yet. I shot that assassin twice. If this assassin was a Magic Shooter below level-7, he would have died. My two arrows directly took away more than 600 years of the assassin's life. "
"Eleanor, if that person is also an assassin, all the more you shouldn't go. How about this, I'll use a water puppet to replace you. Anyway, water puppets can change into any appearance. "
Eleanor agreed after hearing Salin's words. She stood up and walked to the window, looking into the distance. Salin fully activated his Elemental Eye and carefully observed Eleanor's body.
Eleanor felt a burning gaze on her body. Even though it was an illusion, it still made her heart flutter.
Salin summoned the water puppet and had it change shape bit by bit according to Eleanor's appearance. Salin did this because his instincts warned him that Eleanor's life would be in danger if she went. That assassin was terrifying. Even under the combined attack of Salin, Eleanor, and Trish, he still managed to escape. Salin also had no impression of the assassin's equipment. It was very mysterious.
Rex said that this person might be the assassin's accomplice, so he had to be even more careful.
The water puppet took half an hour to change into Eleanor's appearance for the first time. Eleanor stood in front of the window and waited for Salin to finish. After Salin completed the water puppet transformation, Eleanor even felt that her waist and legs were a little stiff.
Salin glanced at Eleanor's back. In fact, he could use his Elemental Eye to outline Eleanor's appearance even from behind. But this glance, Salin didn't use any skills. Eleanor's back was lonely. It was as if she had returned to the situation when she first met Salin.
"Eleanor, if you don't like it here, go back to Metatlin City. The Temple of Light is still your home. "After saying this, Salin turned and walked down the small building.
Eleanor still had her back to Salin as she looked into the distance. Winter in Daliang City was about to end. The wind started to become much gentler, and her standing posture also softened along with it.
Master, so you're not a heartless person after all.
Rex waited patiently. When she saw the water puppet that Salin had brought down, she was naturally stunned. The water puppet smiled at Rex and said, "Nice to meet you, Princess."
"I need her archery skills …" Rex looked at Salin. She knew about the existence of the water puppet, so she could see the difference between this water puppet and an elf with one look. In Eleanor's eyes, she could never see what the deepest part was. The water puppet, on the other hand, was clear and pure, like the simplest element.
"Lace, don't let her take the risk. I feel a little uneasy," Salin said as he took off Rafael's crystal ring and handed it to the water puppet for it to wear.
"Uneasy …" Rex looked at the water puppet and pondered for a moment. "I feel a little uneasy too. Call it Gusin."
Rex didn't have a keen premonition like Salin, but she had the Shenluo Ring. When Salin said the word "uneasy", Rex didn't get jealous of Eleanor. Instead, she immediately became vigilant.
"Okay, Rex, let's go directly to Gusin's camp."
Salin didn't hesitate either. He brought Trish and Rex to Gusin's camp. Nicholas followed far behind. He had a white beard and wore a gray robe. He looked extremely ordinary. He wasn't present when Salin encountered the assassin. Otherwise, the tyrant wouldn't have been able to escape. Mages were also the nemesis of ghosts, not to mention the fallen mages, who had the power to see through darkness. What Shadow Dancer? In his eyes, it was useless.
It made sense not to let the two level-eight mages follow them. Assassins were very sensitive to mages, and the two level-eight mages hadn't advanced for long, so they couldn't hide their auras well. If they were as experienced as Nicholas, Rex would naturally let the two level-eight mages deal with the person who wanted to sneak into her army.
Rex also brought a hundred bodyguards that Salin had assigned to her. Even the low-level mages didn't follow them. Low-level mages couldn't withstand a single blow from an assassin. That assassin was almost a level-eight powerhouse, so this accomplice definitely wouldn't be too low.
Salin specially took care of Eleanor this time, so Rex couldn't say anything. After all, Eleanor was a very important follower of Salin. It couldn't be said that Salin did this because of Eleanor's beauty.
The group arrived at Gusin's camp. Salin ordered someone to call Gusin out and cast a magic phantom to describe the target's appearance.
"Gusin, you just advanced. You must be careful of this person."
Gusin nodded. He threw away his scabbard and hung his longsword on his waist. Gusin's longsword was black and didn't look very eye-catching. Also, because of his rich battle experience, Gusin was even better at hiding his strength than the two Magic Shooters that Rex had subdued.
After hearing Salin's words, Gusin immediately turned into an officer at the level of a middle-level swordsman from his appearance. He wasn't good at socializing, but he was good at fighting. Salin was very satisfied with his luck. People like Gusin might be fine in Qin Yin, but in a place like Scotia, they would indeed be buried.
The two kings came to inspect the heavy armor troop's training camp, and the recruits were very excited. They wanted to perform well so that the two kings would value them more. They would definitely be treated better.
Everyone wanted to climb up, and these soldiers relied on their own abilities. It wasn't wrong to think this way.
Salin and Rex, surrounded by their bodyguards, walked past the heavily armored infantrymen in splendid attire. Rex had asked everyone to come out for inspection to avoid that person's suspicion. There were two targets, and they had to deal with both, so it was more troublesome.
After the inspection, Rex and Salin went straight to the training field to see the actual combat level of the soldiers.
In the formation, Tyrant's eyes were cold. Like a soldier who had been through hundreds of battles, he looked straight ahead. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Eleanor, who had transformed into a water puppet.
