"Uh, we're newlyweds. There will be a lot of troublemakers. I wonder if we can consummate our marriage."
Marquis Ferdinand watched the battle from the top of the city wall with an alchemy telescope. Within five miles, it was his army. Within five miles, it was the Tanggulas people who had cut off the retreat of the Demonic Legion.
There were good and bad alchemy telescopes. Marquis Ferdinand's could see seven to eight miles away. It was definitely a piece of high-level equipment. To be precise, it was purely a piece of mage equipment. Without the help of a level-three mage next to him, Marquis Ferdinand could only see a blurry image.
"Why … are they back!" Marquis Ferdinand was shocked to see the Demonic Legion charging back. The Demonic Legion was like a sharp knife, violently stabbing into the Tanggulas' position.
Neris took the lead, constantly commanding the Undead Knights to charge left and right on the battlefield, scattering the enemy's formation and letting the demons behind her kill them. This kind of battle was meaningless to her, and she couldn't get any benefits. She was looking for the enemy's mages. If they were below level-seven, she could bully them. If they were above level-seven, it was better not to fight them head-on in the form of the Undead.
The losses of the Fiend Legion weren't too great. Moreover, this short battle had consumed very little of their physical strength. The Fiends dragged the corpses they had picked up and charged all the way back to the main city of San Lian City, where they met up with the main army.
Only then did Neris order the demons to stop and guard the city gate, allowing the heavy cavalry behind to enter the city. It wasn't a normal tactic for the heavy cavalry to stay at the back. Neris's disregard for the life and death of the heavy cavalry had already made Marquis Ferdinand furious. But when he saw the demons push up their helmets and start to eat and drink, he suppressed his anger.
Thousands of demons were eating people outside the city. They were eating the believers of the Vatican and the army of the Holy War.
The scene was too terrifying. The battle cries on the battlefield were suppressed by the crunching sounds of the demons chewing. Each demon dragged at least two corpses. Their four-meter-tall bodies gave them strength when they moved, but it also consumed a lot of energy. Eating the enemy was a good choice.
The way the demons did it was to twist off the enemy's head and suck the blood with their mouths. Then, they peeled off the enemy's armor and clothes and gnawed on them. The Tanggulas people who were chasing after the heavy cavalry stopped in their tracks. They looked at the thousands of Evil Demons below the city, their faces filled with fear.
The people of Kushui Prefecture were also quite frightened. However, seeing that the demons had dragged back many corpses of the heavy cavalry and piled them up for the people in the city to deal with, they felt a little better.
The troops outside the city slowly entered the city. With the demons holding the line, the Tanggulas people did not dare to attack the city gates for a while. They were frightened by the demons. Everyone was afraid of becoming food and being swallowed by others.
In Great Liang City, Salin didn't know that Nelis had done such a horrible thing. He was preparing for his wedding.
At noon on the ninth day, Metatlin's entourage once again entered Great Liang City from the north gate. Salin rode on a golden chariot specially made for the wedding. Eight horses pulled the chariot, followed by a flag regiment's ceremonial team. Behind them was the Dragon Slayer Legion that had pledged allegiance to him.
The golden chariot entered the city, and the people who lined the road to welcome the soldiers of the Kushui Commandery of Great Liang City. Salin stood on the chariot. The ancient chariot didn't have a carriage, and behind him stood Su and Nicholas. The soldiers of Kushui Commandery cheered and threw flowers at him.
Salin wore a Demon God suit and a mask on his face. He stood proudly on the chariot.
The people of Kushui Commandery welcomed Salin sincerely. The wedding of His Highness the Commandery King represented the union of two rich countries. In this chaotic world, only with a strong country as a backing could these ordinary people feel safe.
The Metatlin Kingdom was a country that had defeated the expeditionary army of the Vatican.
In the past two years, Jialoulan had been at war, and the farmers had been unable to survive. In the Kushui Commandery under Rex's rule, the farmers could grow vegetables. Once there was a war, they would be protected by the soldiers and retreat to the castle.
Because Qin Yin was supporting them from behind, food was never a problem. For ordinary people, this was already a great blessing.
Salin's golden chariot passed through the city. Naturally, there were people of Kushui Commandery Kingdom monitoring the crowd to prevent Salin from being attacked by assassins again. The entourage circled the city before returning to the palace. There was a guard of honor from Kushui Commandery Kingdom to welcome them. The parents of both parties were not present. Archmage Stephanie was in charge of Rex's side.
Salin couldn't resist the ceremony. This was already a simplified version. According to Qin Yin's rules, the entire ceremony would last from three to six days. Since Rex was the first successor, six days was a given.
Fortunately, the ceremony of the Fourth Dynasty was not so complicated, so Salin and Rex were much more relaxed.
The guard of honor on Salin's side had a total of 24 chariots prepared according to the etiquette. The 24 chariots were led into the palace. Salin could only enter the palace specially built for him, and could not meet Rex yet. However, the Dragon Slaying Legion could now legitimately station themselves in the palace and protect Salin.
Rex also came out of the Magic Tower to prepare for the wedding the next day. The ceremony was as simple as possible. She accepted the 24 chariots from the Metatlin Kingdom in the main hall and rewarded the officials who escorted the chariots.
Almost until the sky was dark, the Cloud Flow Army had already set up camp 50 miles south of Daliang City. The military report was sent to Rex. Rex flipped through the thick military report and let the Life Mages deal with it separately before passing it to the generals.
Nicholas and Sue, on the other hand, had to go to the south to fight and could not continue to protect Salin.
In the palace, only Trish, Eleanor, and Gu Xin were left to set up defenses in Salin's palace.
The two palaces, one north and one south, were more than 600 meters apart. This was the only day that the two were not allowed to meet. Salin sat in the palace blankly, supporting his chin with his hand, lost in thought.
After half a day, he saw many ceremonial officials, nobles, and complicated ceremonies. However, it was as if these things had nothing to do with him. He was just at the mercy of others.
Rex was right in front of him, but he could not meet him. Salin used his Elemental Eyes, but he could not see through the many courtyards.
So, this was the marriage between the nobles and the royal family. For mages, it was indeed too boring, too boring. Salin really wanted to fly to Rex's palace just like that. The army had gathered outside the city, and the Cloud Flow Army was ready to attack tomorrow. At this time, he could only hide in the palace, which was really uncomfortable.
With this thought in mind, Salin patted the gourd on his waist and summoned the water puppet. The transparent water puppet quickly turned into Salin's appearance. The difference was that the water puppet was wearing a gray mage robe and holding a magic staff. Salin, on the other hand, was wearing the Demon God Suit, and the wooden sword on his waist was the wooden sword made by Joey.
Salin took off Rafael's crystal ring and handed it to the water puppet. He said, "Go find Eleanor and protect her so that she can use her archery skills."
The water puppet put on the crystal ring and bowed. Salin began to check his Demon God Suit. He had not used the solidified magic on the Demon God Suit in battle. Even when facing a powerful assassin, he had persisted.
However, under Rex's Magic Tower, he felt the elemental changes when Rex advanced. Salin had some confidence in advancing, so he began to pay attention to the Demon God Suit. With a path, he was not afraid of taking a wrong turn.
The earth-elemental stone statue army could create six stone statues that were six meters tall every minute for three hours. The attack power of each stone statue was equivalent to that of a professional above level-five. This was a very unpopular magic, and few mages were willing to learn it. Because the speed of the stone soldiers was too slow, they were only equivalent to that of a senior human swordsman.
The Frost Mageweath was the most suitable magic for Salin. It could increase the attack power of his water magic by about three times. When it advanced to level-eight, it could increase the attack power of water magic by six times. When it advanced to level-nine, it could increase the attack power of a level-nine spell by twelve times. It could make a level-nine spell like a forbidden spell.
The wind element's vacuum confinement was, of course, not as effective as the Elven Spatial Arrow, but it consumed much less energy. If he encountered an assassin again, Salin would not forget this magic.
Roar of the Fire Spirit could summon a fire elemental creature for an hour. It was also a powerful magic. Unfortunately, Salin's understanding of the fire element was far inferior to that of the water element.
Phantom Flurry was the best defensive magic. It could create three to six phantoms, all with attack power. It was difficult for the enemy to distinguish them.
Endless Night was the most powerful of the six. It trapped the enemy in a dark elemental area, and its effect was much better than Ice Strike. Even level-seven vacuum confinement was inferior to it. The only thing about vacuum confinement that was better than Endless Night was that it was an instantaneous spell. The location it appeared at was determined by the magician.
The release of these six level-seven spells was six hours per cycle. No matter how good the material of the demonic god suit was, it could not withstand so many unpopular magic spells.
He used Figaro's magic formula to calculate the attributes of these enchantments. It was already midnight, and the sky was about to brighten. Outside the palace, there were insects chirping.
The people of Cloud Flow, Alchemy City, and Tanggulas were all coming to pressure him at this time. Thinking of this, Salin smiled faintly. It seemed that he was still too flamboyant. Metatlin City was doing business with outsiders so early, and these people could not help but be tempted.
So what? Didn't Alchemy City have their own principles? They couldn't possibly send Magic Shooters to kill a mid-level Great Magician like him, right? He just did not know whether it would be the people of Cloud Flow or the assassins of Tanggulas who would appear on his wedding night.
Rex also did not sleep the whole night. She touched her Divine Sieve Ring, filled with emotions. She was a Magic Shooter, and the power of the Divine Sieve Ring would be even greater. However, no matter how powerful the equipment was, it could not allow her to unify the continent. There were countless enemies in front of her and Salin. Including the Vatican, the four empires, and Alchemy City.
Perhaps Master Merlin was right. She would cause Qin Yin to collapse, and bring disaster to the continent. But so what? Even without her, would the Vatican not start a Sacred War?
