[Third update, watch DT, come back.]
Salin wasn't thinking about Sicar. Sicar had already said when he wanted him to go back. As for the Frozen Sea, Salin decided to go there. At least, he had to arrange for some revenants to go to the island that he had given up on.
The war in the Metatlin Kingdom had just begun. The battle with the Cloud Flow people had caused the Wing Skeleton warships to suffer heavy losses. If he didn't hurry back and Alchemy City really attacked, Metatlin City would suffer greatly.
"If that's the case, then I'll go back as soon as possible. But Lace …"
"What?" Rex was a little disappointed to hear Salin agree so readily. Unexpectedly, Salin didn't continue. Instead, he released a huge Water Shield and wrapped the two of them.
"What!" Rex blushed. She knew what Salin was going to do. Salin would do this for the first time.
"For a magician, repeated practice is always more reliable than memorizing magic. Lace, I'm going. I hope you'll miss me. "
"Mmm …" Salin covered Rex's mouth. Salin hugged her and crossed his hands on her back, pressing her hard against his chest.
"I'll … miss you, mmm …"
"Ah, Lace, it's only been a few days and you're already rusty!" Salin laughed. Outside the Water Shield, clouds and mist surrounded it, blocking all spying.
The Cloud Flow people retreated very quickly because they really couldn't keep up with the logistics. The remaining people were constantly harassed by the revenants. Less than ten thousand of the seventy thousand revenants created by the blood rain were left. These last surviving revenants actually had some intelligence. They didn't attack with all their might. Instead, they chose places that were easy to attack and ran if they couldn't win.
Agares left Cloud Mist City. His brother was the regent. The prince didn't order reinforcements because the Vatican had also failed at the front line of Sanlian City.
The sudden appearance of the demon army caused the Vatican to suffer heavy losses. The loss of a level nine mage forced the Vatican to adjust their pace of attack.
Without the support of the Vatican, the Cloud Flow people attacked from the direction of the sea. The pressure on Daliang City was too small.
Under such circumstances, Salin decided to leave with the Wing Skeleton and return to Metatlin City. He was going out to hunt and stock up for the next war. Right, there was also the matter of dealing with Alchemy City. He wondered how Huo Jinna was doing.
However, Salin didn't ask about it, because the Persian master passed by Daliang and didn't see Salin or Rex. The matter of the Six-Winged Flying Snake Seal seemed to have made Alchemy City a little wary.
Eleanor and Trish, on the other hand, were left behind in Daliang City. As Sue hadn't completely recovered from her injuries, she was also left behind to continue helping Rex. The one who accompanied them was the old mage Nicholas. Isabella and the three demons were left in the White Bone Castle. Among the people who came with them, there was one special person — Kind Tree.
According to the Winged Skeleton, Kind Tree was originally not suitable for practicing necromancy magic. However, one day, he suddenly became enlightened. The Winged Skeleton couldn't understand this kind of improvement. How could a person's talent change?
Kind Tree was already used to interacting with the undead. At least after becoming a low-level necromancer, he no longer had to worry about getting a mount.
Right now, Kind Tree was wearing a black magic robe with three magic symbols on it. He held a magic staff in his hand and rode a black Yong Beast, majestically walking in the middle of the group. Around him were more than a hundred necromancers. The battle in Daliang City was over. In the future, Rex wouldn't need mages so urgently. The necromancers would also follow Salin back to Metatlin.
These mages contributed a lot. Without the undead, Daliang City would have suffered great losses. At least, it wouldn't be like now, where very few soldiers died in battle. Most of them were only injured.
Rex was also lucky. She had the Shenluo Ring. For this wedding, all the valuable resources and gifts were kept in the Shenluo Ring. So, when the level-nine Magic Shooter went crazy and attacked the palace, there weren't any other losses. In the palace's storeroom, there were some consumables.
Rex insisted that 100 of Salin's 200 bodyguards follow Salin back to Metatlin City. This time, Salin brought an entire battalion of soldiers and horses back. A large army couldn't travel as fast as a small army. They had to take the main road to reduce consumption and ensure a more stable travel time.
Because they didn't bring any support troops, a battalion of 10,000 people marched quickly through Rex's Jialoulan land and returned to the Qinyin border.
This time, all the nobles in Qinyin knew that it was Salin who came back. None of them sent troops to harass him. Everyone knew that when Salin advanced in Daliang City, messenger pigeons flew all over Qinyin. There was only one piece of news — the king of Metatlin, the husband of the Kushui Duke, had the Six-Winged Flying Snake Seal.
Logically, it was normal for tens of thousands of soldiers to cross the border to collect money and sell some supplies at a high price. But when it came to Salin, these nobles forgot about their interests and chose to avoid him.
If they got too close to Salin, people would misunderstand that they were disloyal to Sacred Rock City. At this time, not picking a side was the best choice. If they had to pick a side, they should listen to Sacred Rock City first. After all, Sacred Rock City was the center of power in the Qinyin Empire. No matter how noble Rex's identity was, he had to respect tradition.
Tradition was the cornerstone of this country's stability.
The journey was smooth. The army advanced at a speed of about 15 kilometers. Because to reach the speed of 40 kilometers, they had to abandon the infantry.
Fortunately, the elite soldiers were full of energy and needed relatively little rest per day. Every day, they used the method of rapid marching to advance 150 kilometers.
Because they chose the main road, Salin used 90 days to rush back to Metatlin City.
Many things happened in these three months. The most important thing was that one-third of the nobles in the south of Qinyin announced their support for Rex. They strongly condemned the Yun Liu people for attacking the Kushui Duchy. If it was just condemnation, it wouldn't hurt, and the Yun Liu people didn't have to worry.
But these southern nobles of Qinyin started to build ships. The southernmost part of Qinyin's territory was near the sea. It only had a very short coastline, but it had a good port, or rather, a natural harbor that could be developed.
Judging from the wealth of the Qinyin people and the number of Mages they had, these southern nobles could at least build a strong fleet. They definitely had more than 60 warships of various sizes.
Such a small fleet wouldn't be of any concern to the Yun Liu people. The problem was that Qinyin was also bordered by the sea. This was the real weakness of the Yun Liu people.
The second important thing was that the Vatican's counterattack had been repelled. The army of the Qinyin nobles had advanced to the border of the Divine Grace Duchy, and Jia Loulan had been recovered.
This was within Salin's expectations. In order to attack Rex's Kushui Duchy, the Vatican had mobilized so many troops. They were killed by the Devil Army. Naturally, the strength of the defense line in the north would be weakened.
The third thing was more strange. Two warships of Alchemy City were attacked on the way to Lianyun City. There were no survivors on the two warships.
Salin didn't know if the warships of Alchemy City were targeting Metatlin, but he could guess that there could only be two people who did this. One was Joey, and the other was Faka.
He didn't hide the fact that Alchemy City had threatened him. Instead, he announced it. After the news arrived, the two warships set off. If it was said that they were going to Lianyun City for fun, Salin wouldn't believe it.
Faka and Joey must have heard the news. If it was Joey who did it, then it was to help Rex. If it was Faka, then he was the one who was helping.
This was a warning to Alchemy City, Salin guessed.
The white Metatlin City had now become the most prosperous city in the north of the continent. There was no place like this in the whole of Phoenix. After Salin's people entered their country, they didn't rush. Instead, they followed the road at a normal speed and headed east.
The news had already spread to Metatlin City. Ordinary people didn't care, but Shika was anxious to see Salin. It wasn't because her belly was getting bigger and bigger. It was because the Caucasians outside the city had really turned against her.
If Salin didn't come back, she would have to take drastic measures.
The North Caucasians refused to pay taxes. They said that no Caucasians would do this. They lived in the mountains and didn't ask for anything. They should be respected and let the Caucasians be free, not become a training camp for Metatlin's soldiers.
It was already mid-July. The Caucasians outside the city wanted to buy some medicine and weapons. Daniel sent them to the tax officer, but they were beaten back.
The south of Metatlin City wasn't as barren as the North Caucasians said. There were towering old trees everywhere. There were almost as many magical beasts as there were in the sea. Fungi, potatoes, and beans all grew well on this land. There were enough caves in the forest. The North Caucasians didn't even need to build houses.
Shika wanted to send troops to attack, but there weren't enough troops in the city. The Caucasians outside the city were all strong mountain warriors. In a battle in the mountains, Salin's elite troops were no match for the Caucasians.
Salin's return made Shika overjoyed. Under the protection of Zola and 36 Caucasian warriors, she welcomed him out of the temple. Any further and the elders who'd said they obeyed her would be tired of her again.
Salin saw Shika from afar and couldn't help but laugh. The armor he'd made for Shika was really good. It could even change shape. Shika's belly was very big. Because there were two, even though it was still far from the date of birth, it was already very obvious.
"Shika!" Salin shouted. He followed the army all the way and didn't speed up. In fact, he was using Between Elements to observe the natural environment along the way. In fact, he couldn't hold it in any longer. But if Rex heard him rushing back, he'd probably feel sad.
