[The fourth update is here.]
Rex tried her best to sneak into the Scochenya Empire and used her secret technique to find Byrne. Byrne was already heavily injured, and he only had six subordinates left. Rex snatched these seven assassins from the mercenaries and ran all the way to Didips.
The magic army was extremely fast, and the mercenaries couldn't keep up with Rex's speed at all.
But at this time, the Scochenya Empire's regular army moved out. They split into two groups and attacked the Metatlin Kingdom. After Rex passed through the Chaos Swamp, she was caught in a pincer attack. Luckily, Ainphent built a city here and sent out an army to rescue Rex.
But this time, Scochenya really allied with the Church. They sent out more than 300,000 regular soldiers, and even more mercenaries joined in. Nearly a million soldiers besieged Lone Star City.
This attack also had the cooperation of the Tanggulas Empire. The Tanggulas Empire's army broke through the gap between the Kushui Prefecture and the Qinyin Empire. The army divided the land controlled by the two countries and attacked the Qinyin border. The balance of power in Jialou Lan was broken again.
And this time, the Tanggulas Empire sent out an unprecedentedly large number of troops. The Qinyin Empire couldn't even count how many enemies there were. They could only receive messages sent back by magic again and again. Their cities fell one by one. The Tanggulas Empire attacked without caring about casualties. This kind of attack couldn't last long, but the Tanggulas people pushed all three fronts to less than a hundred miles from the Qinyin Empire's border.
The northern nobles were terrified. Many of their troops were still in Jialou Lan. The Tanggulas Empire's army attacked in a roundabout way, leaving the northern nobles' expeditionary army in Jialou Lan isolated.
Not only that, in the eastern sea, Alchemy City's defense line finally fell. Cloud Flow Warships entered the Qinyin Empire's eastern sea and frequently harassed the coastline. Holy Rock City urgently sent out more than 100,000 troops to defend Lianyun City. Under these circumstances, Metatlin couldn't even conduct normal trade, nor could they send too many troops to support Lone Star City.
The Church finally gathered the forces of the three empires and launched an all-out attack on the Qinyin.
Schica was in charge of Metatlin City. She wasn't sure if the Scochenya Empire was just bluffing. If he sent troops to support Lone Star City, then even if there were 36 Magic Shooters stationed at Metatlin City, there would still be an opportunity for him to take advantage of.
Besides, it would be meaningless if they did not send Magic Shooters to reinforce Lone Star City. This time, the Skokenya army was accompanied by a large number of Mages, as if His Majesty Downey had sent all the Mages here.
In the middle of April, a huge desolate battleship appeared in the sea near Metatlin City. The originally lifeless Metatlin Port immediately became lively. The few small boats that stayed behind came out to greet the ship. Seeing it, everyone became speechless.
There was no sound except the sound of the waves and the wind. The soldiers couldn't even exclaim in surprise. They could only stare at this ancient miracle with their mouths wide open.
The ancient warship could dock at Metatlin Port, but Salin still anchored it at sea, ready to deal with the Cloud Flow people's attacks at any time. When he and the Mage soldiers he brought out for training alighted from the dragon skeleton warship, he glanced at the empty port and cursed Alchemy City.
Qinyin's merchants didn't dare to travel between Metatlin City and Connecting City. The smaller ports further south had no ships at all. Metatlin's port only had a few warships left.
After the battle at sea, the skeleton warship was almost completely destroyed. The navy of Metatlin now basically consisted of the dozen or so ships that Salin brought to the Frozen Sea. Small warships could deal with pirates, but they were completely useless against the Cloud Flow fleet.
Salin also had a few islands in the sea that didn't have much development value. They were only suitable as supply points for warships. If these islands were attacked, the weak forces on the islands wouldn't be able to defend them.
The Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship entered the underwater hangar, and the dragon skeleton warship docked. The soldiers on the shore were greatly relieved. With their main warship back, the defense of the coast was much easier. Although these soldiers weren't Mages, they could tell that the dragon skeleton warship was very powerful. Warships made from the bones of giant dragons only existed in legends.
Salin didn't make a fuss. He quietly returned to the temple. He went to see his teacher Jason first. Jason didn't keep him to talk and told him to go back to the children first. Salin then let Nelis and the winged skeleton return to their own rooms, and he went to Sicar.
It was daytime, and Sicar wasn't there. The two children were playing with a small animal under the watch of the Caucasian soldiers.
Salin saw the two children playing with the small animal, and his expression was extremely ugly. The animal was smaller than Salin's palm. It had small scales, a thin tail, and a toothpick-like horn. It looked like a weak Level-0 magical beast, but Salin recognized it. It was a divine beast that had been brought out of the Goddess' Temple of All Gods.
Wasn't this divine beast in a deep sleep? Why did it wake up? It was quite dangerous for his children to play with this divine beast. Even a newly hatched divine beast had fatal skills.
The two children saw Salin and suddenly turned around, running to him together. Salin bent down and held the two children in his arms.
"Dad … Dad!" Salin's heart was filled with infinite tenderness at the young voice. But he still said to the Caucasian soldiers with a fierce face, "You, how can you let the children play with this thing?"
Salin was so angry that he didn't think that his children, who were only one and a half years old, could still recognize him after being separated for so long. This would have surprised Salin, but because he was angry that the children were in danger, Salin didn't react for a moment.
"Your Highness, it was the little prince who insisted on playing. Even Her Highness Sicar couldn't stop him." Sicar was surrounded by loyal Caucasian soldiers. Those who could help her take care of the children were even more trusted. These Caucasian soldiers were also very close to Salin, and didn't think that Salin's attitude was bad.
"Dad …" Salin's daughter slapped Salin's cheek with her hand. Salin felt the pain. Only then did he realize that his daughter was only one and a half years old, but the strength of her hand was greater than that of an ordinary soldier. He was a level-9 Magic Shooter, and the strength of his body was at the level of a Sword Saint. But a light slap from a child caused intense pain!
Croak … Woo! The divine beast cried twice and ran to the corner of the room.
"Dad … Dad …" Salin's son didn't speak as clearly as his daughter, and he pointed at the divine beast with his little finger.
"What's going on?" Salin asked the Caucasian soldiers.
"Her Highness Sicar advanced to a Nature Priest, and I don't know why, but she woke this thing up. In the end, the little prince liked it very much and insisted on playing with it. But Your Highness, don't worry, this little thing is not dangerous."
"Not dangerous?" Salin looked at the sharp teeth of the divine beast. Although there were only four, Salin believed that this divine beast cub could definitely bite through the chest armor of a magic armor.
Salin's son also copied his daughter's actions. He used one hand to pat Salin's face, and the other hand reached out and pointed at the divine beast that had escaped to the corner.
Salin hesitated, and he carried the child to the corner of the room. Salin was surprised to see that the divine beast stuffed its little head into the corner and started whimpering. What was going on?
Unable to stop his son, Salin put him down. His daughter also struggled and straightened her legs, so Salin could only let go.
Salin's son and daughter walked steadily to the corner, and a wooden stick suddenly appeared in his son's hand. The stick looked familiar to Salin, but it was a branch of a divine tree. Salin's Magic Towers made from four divine trees had all been taken by the Grandmaster, and now the divine tree materials in his hands had shrunk. Seeing the branch in his son's hand, Salin really wanted to snatch it.
But his son's action stopped Salin from having that thought.
The one-and-a-half-year-old boy hit the divine beast's head with the wooden stick. When the stick and the divine beast's head collided, sparks flew.
Then, Salin's daughter also took out a rope. This rope was woven from the bark of the divine tree. Salin had made it to tie up important figures of the Vatican, but Sicar had given it to his daughter as a toy.
Salin was speechless when he saw his daughter make a noose at the front of the rope. Wasn't his child's intelligence growing a little too fast? Could it really be that the child of a Nature Priest would directly inherit knowledge?
The divine beast used its small horn to drill into the wall, but the materials of the shrine were all built according to the standards of a Magic Tower. Its horn was too small, and it only managed to dig a shallow hole before it got stuck. Salin's son hit the divine beast again with the wooden stick, and the divine beast screamed.
The little divine beast was helpless. It was in too much pain, so it could only turn around and crawl out. Salin's daughter immediately went up and put the rope around its neck. The rope tightened, and Salin's daughter smiled happily. She led the divine beast and walked towards Salin.
These were his children? Salin watched in disbelief as the two children bullied the divine beast.
"Your Highness, His Highness Sicar is a priest. This thing wouldn't dare hurt the young prince. Besides, the young prince … "The Caucasian warrior said with a regretful expression. She knew that Sicar wasn't going to let either of his children be a priest.
"The young prince is very strong. This thing can't beat them," the Caucasian warrior continued.
"Can't beat them? Do you know what this thing is? " Salin was still a little angry. After knowing that Goddess Myers might be a level 18 god, he naturally became wary of this divine beast. The higher the level of a god, the stronger the divine beast they raised.
"This looks like a divine beast baby," the female Caucasian warrior answered.
Salin was speechless. What divine beast baby? Divine beasts were divine beasts. They were very dangerous. But seeing his two children torment the divine beast, there was no anger in the divine beast's eyes, only grievance.
"This little thing is very dangerous. Haven't you seen it use any skills?" Salin asked the Caucasian warrior.
"Yes, but its skills are all interrupted by the young prince. It doesn't dare to use them now," the Caucasian warrior answered.
Interrupt skills?
