[There's still one more update, the monthly votes are still standing]
"Lace, you can transfer two more battalions. Great Liang City has two hundred necromancers now, and the number of ghouls they can mobilize must be more than twenty thousand. It's easier to defend than expected. Each battalion can bring ten thousand auxiliary soldiers, and directly replenish a hundred thousand people to San Lian City. It won't be a problem to hold it for a month. I … will go discuss some things with Sicar and see if there are any other ways. "
"Okay." Rex didn't drag his feet. Transferring a hundred thousand people would indeed put a lot of pressure on Great Liang City's defense, but if San Lian City was lost, all his efforts last year would be for naught.
Two legions would have fifty thousand people, and two battalions would each have fifteen thousand people. Adding the twenty thousand auxiliary soldiers, there would be exactly a hundred thousand people. If a hundred thousand people couldn't even defend San Lian City for a month, then Rex didn't need to be the king anymore.
The generals' meeting was very long. Apart from deciding who to send, there was also the issue of replenishing soldiers. Defending Great Liang City, a battalion only had five thousand auxiliary soldiers. To go to San Lian City, they would have to replenish twenty-five thousand people to be equal to a legion.
Such a mixed organization was a test for the army. The problem was that a large legion would only have fifteen thousand people. After the loss of personnel, their combat power would decline greatly. A legion of twenty-five thousand people was the most reasonable configuration.
Salin came to the magic tower with the transportation matrix, ordered the magicians to open it, and sent a letter to Sicar.
In Metatlin City, Sicar was bored listening to Neris talk about the Demonic Plane in the shrine. A magician delivered a letter from Great Liang City. Neris took the letter and said to Sicar, "It's probably a request for help again."
Sicar smiled and said, "Let's go to the transportation matrix. It's probably a request for help."
Neris curled her lips and handed the letter to Sicar. The two came to the third floor of the shrine. A new transportation matrix had been set up here, and they could communicate with Great Liang City.
Metatlin City could definitely afford to teleport inanimate objects that were small in size. The cost of teleporting a letter was less than one millionth of that of teleporting a person. The further the distance, the greater the cost. If they wanted to teleport a living person, not only would the transportation matrix be very large, but it would also consume a lot of magic cores. Short distance teleportation could be considered, but this place was more than 20,000 miles away from Great Liang City, it would be troublesome to teleport one or two people.
Arriving at the third floor, Shika opened Salin's letter. There was a simple map in the letter, depicting the geographical coordinates and military distribution of Great Liang City, Lihai, and Sanlian City. Then, Salin briefly explained his needs and asked Xi Ka and the two Magic Shooters to discuss whether they could rush to Great Liang City.
Nelis was also watching from the side. She mumbled, "Sister Sicar, don't bother about this. Rex is too useless. He needs your help for such a small matter."
"Nonsense." Shika frowned and scolded Neris.
"It's true, we are so far from here, how much would it cost to teleport two High Mages? In order to have a child, you were reluctant to part with eight hundred thousand gold coins. Now, you've spent eight million. "
"What's in it for you if Rex's country collapses?" Shika glared at Neris.
"Of course there are no benefits. Sister Shika, why don't you let me go?" Neris rolled her eyes and said.
"You? What's the use of you going alone? "Shika didn't understand. The cost of teleporting two Level Nine Magic Shooters was too high. She really couldn't bear to do it. It was fine in the past, but now that Rex was going to marry Salin, she couldn't ask Rex for money.
Neris looked around, and the mages sensibly covered their ears. Neris whispered into Shika's ear, "Sister Sicar, send the Magic Shooters over. If something happens here, what will you do? I'll go, I'll use the 12 Movements of Purgatory and summon the demons to support Sanlian City. The demon city has already raised a lot of demonic insects, I'll send them to the Tanggulas people's camp … "
Hearing this, Shika was moved. Great Liang City didn't have a teleportation array yet, but fixed coordinates had been established between Kushui Commandery and Metatlin City. People could be teleported over at any time. Just teleporting Neris alone could bring a lot of demons. There were also demonic insects. Although they were low-level, they could cause great damage to ordinary soldiers.
"Neris, what idea do you have? Tell me honestly." Shika asked Neris with a straight face. She knew that Neris would never be so attentive. She couldn't wait to shrink back when it came to fighting for Rex.
"Sister Sicar, I remember that Master gave you something. I want it."
"What is it? Tell me."
"I told you. You have to give it to me."
"Sure!" Shika agreed. Salin had given her so many things anyway, there was nothing that she couldn't give to Neris. Neris was Salin's soul contractor. Everything that Neris had was still Salin's in the end.
"Sister Sicar, I want the golden zombie that Master gave you."
"Cough …" Shika coughed, and Neris quickly rubbed her back.
"Neris, I can't give this to you."
"Sister Shika." Nelis pouted her lips, looking like she was wronged and begged.
"I've already given it to the Winged Skeleton." Shika could only tell the truth.
"What did you say!" Neris was furious. The thing that she wanted was actually given to the Winged Skeleton. But then she felt that her attitude wasn't right. She was stunned, and tears were about to fall.
"How could you … give it to him!" Neris's eyes were filled with tears, but she didn't dare to lose her temper with Shika.
"He said that he really needed the zombie, and used something that I needed even more in exchange. I thought that he was going to help Salin in the war, so I gave it to him." Shika saw that Neris wasn't faking it, so she could only comfort her. "How about I give you something else? Come back with me, and I'll let you choose whatever you want. "
"Wah …" Neris burst into tears. After crying for a while, she sobbed. "Master didn't want to give it to me, and you didn't want it either. We're both siding with that skeleton, I, I …"
Shika said helplessly, "Who asked you to be so smart and not want it directly? Neris, Salin still cares about you. "
Neris pounded the ground with her hands. She just cried and didn't say anything. The mages guarding the teleportation circle all closed their eyes and blocked their ears with silence magic. They didn't dare to leave. The longer they stayed in the Temple, the more they knew that Neris couldn't be provoked. Don't look at her wailing on the ground like a child. This guy could change his face at any time.
These mages didn't dare to look at Neris, because many people knew that Neris was a demon. If she was angered, she would really kill them.
Shika sighed. Nelis was truly wronged. She had given this golden zombie to the winged skeleton because the winged skeleton had given her the bone of an ancient magical beast. After she advanced, she would be able to fuse that bone into her weapon.
For this, she even went to consult a Level Nine Magic Shooter. The two Level Nine Magic Shooters both shook their heads. Their eyes shone with blue light as they told Shika that this was left behind by a magic beast that was at least Level 12.
Magic beasts that were Level 12 and above did not exist on the continent. There were in ancient times, but they were hunted and killed by humans. This bone wasn't a leg bone, but a hollow cartilage in the magic beast's brain. Shika was willing to exchange it because she felt that this bone hid a magic beast's soul that hadn't died yet.
Neris cried enough and said, "Sister Shika, what you said just now, does it still count?"
"What?"
"You said I could choose …"
"I said one." Shika quickly interrupted Neris.
"Two." Neris wiped her tears and looked at Shika.
"Okay …" Shika agreed. She felt that before her child was born, she would have to deal with a child like Neris. Signing the soul contract too early made Neris feel that she wouldn't grow up. Even though her body had evolved and matured, deep in her soul, she was still the little demon she was when she first met Salin.
Shika first sent a letter to the two Level Nine Magic Shooters. Franco and Anthony replied very quickly. The two of them said that they couldn't leave West Town for the time being.
The reply from the Level Nine Magic Shooter made Shika relax a lot. In this case, Salin wouldn't say anything if he arranged for Neris to go over. Now, she could easily enter and exit the 12 Movements of Purgatory and didn't need Neris's help. If Neris left the 12 Movements of Purgatory, her safety would be guaranteed.
Franco and Anthony didn't coldly refuse. After all, Salin was supporting them. It was just that the two of them had reached a critical moment in their cultivation and didn't want to leave the Magic Tower. Once they left, perhaps the two of them would never have the chance to obtain similar insights again in their lives.
After replying to Salin's letter, Salin's letter quickly came back. In the letter, he agreed to Neris's matter, but he specifically warned that Zola must protect Shika at all times in the Temple after Neris left. At the same time, Salin also asked Shika to invite the Feliot couple to the Temple. These two were Magic Shooters and could exert great power in the Temple.
In the letter, Salin didn't mention Neris's Demon Army. He only repeatedly warned the alchemy factory to equip all the Elven Wings produced by the Temple Army. In the end, Salin even asked Truman to bring the magic cannon and live in the Temple Army.
When Shika saw this, she smiled happily. For his own safety, Salin didn't even care about the port. She knew the power of the magic cannon. If it was fired, even the dragon skeleton warship or the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship would be pierced.
That was Salin's most powerful weapon. His badge still needed to be charged. This magic cannon only needed to be filled with high-level magic cores or dragon crystals before it could be fired. No matter how slow its firing speed was, it was still an extremely terrifying weapon.
Sicar immediately replied with two simple lines — Salin, Rex is one of us now. Anyone who tries to ruin your marriage is going against the Kingdom of Metatlin.
