"Today is the third night watch."
Nelis put away the Crimson Flame Demon Bug and waited for the 10,000 demons to enter the 12 Movements of Purgatory in boredom. Only then did she put away her equipment, bid farewell to the Four Magical Beast Swordsmen, and fly back to Metatlin City.
There were accurate coordinates between Metatlin City and Kushui County. It would only take two or three days to build a teleportation array. There were a large number of Mages on both sides, and there were abundant materials. After deciding to build a large teleportation array, the two cities became busy at the same time.
Nelis hid in the temple and entered the 12 Movements of Purgatory to train the demons inside. These demons had some problems with their brains, but it wasn't without its benefits. At least, a creature with normal intelligence would be under immense mental pressure when entering the Dark Purgatory. These demons were somewhat muddle-headed. They only knew how to kill, so they were not affected much.
Nelis only repaired the Dark Purgatory. Tens of thousands of demons entered a space, but it wasn't considered crowded. The inherent skills of the demons basically included night vision. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to survive in the Demonic Plane. The Dark Purgatory was a little special. The demons' vision was still severely weakened.
Scica also prepared her treasures for Nelis to choose. Nelis was going to war. The things she chose had to be useful in the battle against the Vatican.
Neris looked around but didn't find anything suitable for her. Scica's treasures were all given to her by Salin. Most of them were precious gems, ores, magic cores, materials that couldn't be identified, and some weapons that ordinary people couldn't use. Although Scica's mental strength was powerful, she couldn't use scrolls. There were no scrolls in her treasures.
Nelis had originally planned to choose two rare scrolls, but when she saw Scica's things, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. These things were very valuable, but the problem was that Nelis didn't need gold coins.
It was a bronze spear that was nearly 30 meters long and did not have any decorations on it. Neris tested its strength and felt that it would not break even if she used it to kill a dragon. As such, she took the bronze spear with her. Anyway, her demon god form was perfect for this weapon.
Then, Nelis chose a magic stone cannon made of metallized steel rock. This magic stone cannon was less than five meters long, but it weighed more than 5,000 kilograms. Nelis could only be picked up in her Demon God form.
This Magic Stone Cannon was quite interesting. It was a failed alchemy product.
Its range was eight kilometers, and its destructive power was four to five times that of ordinary Magic Stone Cannons. Moreover, the magic array's cooldown was only half a minute. If there were a few hundred of them on the city walls, they would be able to annihilate most of the soldiers, including the battle puppets, magic warriors, and some large magical beasts.
The problem was that this kind of weapon consumed high-grade magic cores, and its cost was more than 200,000 gold coins. The repair fee was at least tens of thousands of gold coins. In terms of individual attack power, the Magic Stone Cannons made of metallized iron rock were definitely inferior to scrolls, and they wouldn't be stronger than heavy alchemy crossbows either.
If the heavy crossbow was lucky enough to hit a level-eight Mage, it could even cause fatal damage. And this kind of Magic Stone Cannon posed very little threat to High Mages. Despite its high accuracy, there was no point in equipping it in the army.
Nelis, on the other hand, liked this stone cannon very much. She had the Dragon Crystal Fragment, so she did not need to worry about the consumption of high-level magic cores. It could be fired once in half a minute, or it could be changed to a less powerful shot every six seconds, and the shooting range was only about one kilometer. She was not using this stone cannon to shoot from a distance. At close range, even if it was fired by the weakest magic array, this stone cannon could still kill most Mages and even Magic Shooters.
The Magic Stone Cannon's energy loss was very serious. If it was fired within ten meters, it would still be a powerful weapon.
"I want this!" Nelis pointed at the metallized Magic Stone Cannon, and said to Scica, "Sister Scica, let all the alchemy factories produce magic stone bombs before I leave.
"This … is it of no use?" Scica was confused.
Neris giggled and said to Shika, "Sister Shika, listen to me. The enemy this time is the Holy See. You know how terrifying the people of the Holy See are. My idea will definitely be able to deal with their believers who are not afraid of death."
Scica thought, since you like it, what else can I say? Salin asked her to take care of these things, and not to waste them. It was better for Nelis to take this than to take away a bunch of magic cores.
The teleportation portal was built in three days, and Nelis was teleported to the Kushui Prefecture with the demons. The consumption this time turned six level-eight magic cores into waste. Other than being embedded in jewelry, they had no other use.
The Kushui Commandery had also used up six Class 8 Monster Cores to send Nelis over. If they were to teleport thousands of troops, even Metatlin City and Alchemy City would not be able to bear such consumption.
The Kushui Prefecture saw that only Nelis appeared, and they were a little depressed. They used six level-eight magic cores, but only a delicate woman was teleported. The mages who were familiar with Nelis by Rex's side all went to Daliang City, and the mages guarding the teleportation portal had a bad look on their faces.
The teleportation portal was built in the Magic Tower of the prefecture lord's residence, and the eighth floor was where Rex's teacher lived. Nelis was very unhappy when she saw the mages' faces, but she still said a word of thanks to the top of the Magic Tower on the eighth floor, and then jumped out of the Magic Tower.
This was the seventh floor of the Magic Tower. A regular Magic Tower was six meters tall, and a height of more than 40 meters. If one did not know how to fly, even a high-level swordsman would be half dead from the fall. However, Nelis landed lightly on the ground, and the mages at the window were dumbfounded. This was because after Nelis landed, she began to change. In the blink of an eye, she became a demon that was more than 20 meters tall, and she spread her wings and flew.
There was no teleportation portal between the Kushui Prefecture and Daliang City. If this thing was not urgent, it would not be used at all.
Under the astonished gaze of the Magician, Neris swaggered away. Anyway, the demon army was going to appear in front of humans, and she did not care if Rex's people knew her identity.
In the 12 Movements of Purgatory, even if Nelis did not launch an attack, it was not suitable for living creatures to survive. Nelis did not have time to waste. After she identified the direction, she flew straight to Daliang City.
It was already the 4th of April, and there were only six days left before Salin and Rex's wedding. Nelis had to arrive at Sanlian City before the eighth day.
When she arrived at Daliang City, Nelis fell far behind. She did not want to be shot into a hedgehog by the arrow towers of Daliang City. The body of a demon was not afraid of ordinary weapons, but for a city like Daliang City, there would definitely be heavy alchemy crossbows on the arrow towers.
Although Daliang City was on high alert, the east gate was still open. There were already people at the city gate to welcome Nelis. When the soldiers on guard saw that the court mages had come out, they could not help but salute Nelis with their eyes.
It was spring, and Nelis's long green dress swayed in the wind like a breeze, blowing silently in front of the soldiers.
When Nelis's back disappeared, the soldiers muttered, "What kind of big shot is that!"
"That's right, there are mages to welcome her!"
"Two hundred court swordsmen!"
"Don't talk nonsense and stand guard properly. It's not easy for us to get into the regular army. If we violate the rules, we won't even have the chance to risk our lives in the future." The low-ranking officer guarding the city gate berated them, and the soldiers finally calmed down.
Nelis was brought to the palace of Daliang City, Rex's Magic Tower. Now that Rex and Eleanor lived in the Magic Tower, the small building was given to Salin. Salin liked this small building very much. Although it did not have the rich elemental power of the Magic Tower, there was a kind of energy that he could not distinguish, sprinkling from the sky on this tall building.
This energy was very weak, but it was endless, and it was only near the small building. It could not be felt from the Magic Tower dozens of meters away. Because Salin had learned some nomological abilities, he was very sensitive to any energy, and that was how he discovered this secret.
Daliang City was also an ancient city. It used to be the territory of a royal family in the early days of the Fourth Dynasty. This small building itself was modified from the observatory. Or perhaps, this power was something that only astrologers could master.
Salin could sense Nelis's arrival with his soul, and he discovered Nelis even before she entered the city.
When Salin came to the Magic Tower and saw Rex's somewhat disappointed expression, he could not help but laugh. "Lace, Nelis will not let you down. This time, she brought the Evil Demon Army. Although there are only ten thousand of them, it is enough to make the Tanggulas people suffer heavy losses."
"Ten thousand Evil Demons!" Rex did not know this news. Even though she had advanced to a Magic Shooter, she was still shocked to hear that there were so many Evil Demons.
Evaluating the combat power of Evil Demons had always been a very difficult thing. For example, an ordinary Evil Demon might only have the attack power of a human intermediate Swordsman, but its endurance and explosive power surpassed that of an intermediate Swordsman. Not to mention the powerful vitality of Evil Demons, which was almost the same as that of the undead.
Evil Demons could survive in all kinds of harsh environments. Because the environment of the Demonic Plane was abnormally harsh, the especially good places were all occupied by Demon Gods and Great Evil Demons. Even those especially good lands could only be described as barren when compared to the Myers Continent.
"Your Highness, in order to catch them off guard, I've brought the demons directly to Sanlian City. I ask that Your Highness distribute the badges to the ten thousand demons. Otherwise, the people of Sanlian City will be frightened."
Nelis thought to herself that marriage did not mean anything. How could a human's marriage be as secure as a Evil Demon's? If she let Rex distribute badges to her Evil Demon Army, then in the future, Rex would not be able to stay out of the matter of raising Evil Demons. If someone used this to attack Salin, Rex would suffer together with him.
Even if Rex knew that Evil Demons were not liked by the humans on the continent, he had no choice but to use Nelis's army now. Three Links City was really too important. Moreover, she did not act like what Nelis thought. If someone attacked Salin because of this, she would not hesitate to stand by Salin's side and bear the consequences together.
They were just Evil Demons. If they could conquer the continent, so what if they used dark creatures?
"Alright, Nelis, then you can rest here first. I will get someone to prepare badges and mages. Can your army … accept inspection?"
