The Mages in the rear had already retreated. They were a hundred times more knowledgeable than this Battalion General. They knew that the gigantic guy was a Demon God, a level-9 creature. A group of Great Mages who had not even reached level-7 simply chose to retreat. They were also temporarily assigned to this Battalion. The Magic Shooters were fighting the Undead Army at the front and could not pay attention to the rear.
These Great Mages might be able to cause some trouble to the level-9 creature if they swarmed it together, but it was actually not as effective as letting the soldiers surround it. The retreat of the Great Mages had a fatal impact on the morale of the soldiers.
Without the help of the Mages, the soldiers felt a little hopeless. The gigantic Demon God in the distance was not something their generals could resist. A Black Iron Sword Saint had already been killed, and a level-7 Magic Shooter had disappeared. The soldiers could not control themselves and scattered to the sides.
Fortunately, they were elite soldiers. Instead of retreating, they retreated to the sides. If the enemy chased after them, they would have to split up.
Nelis had never thought of using her 20,000 people to kill all the enemies in this Battalion. She did not want to have 24 Desolate Warriors either. She simply began to charge in a straight line from the center of the Battalion. No one was in front of her, and the archers on the sides were also suppressed by the crossbowmen of the supporting soldiers.
There were three Battalions set up by the million-strong army. Each of the three Battalions had a level-9 powerhouse and many high-level professionals. Nelis took advantage of the situation. The Undead Army in front had attracted the powerhouses and the strongest troops in this Battalion. This allowed her Temple of God army to kill to their heart's content at the back of the Battalion.
Nelis was the type of person who would leave after taking advantage of the situation. She originally planned to collect 10,000 souls. Seeing that the Skochinya people were advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, she knew that if she persisted, her side would suffer great losses. She made a prompt decision. The Temple of God army charged at the back of the Skochinya camp for a while, then passed through the camp and killed their way out from the front gate.
The Demon God Incarnation allowed Nelis to have the upper hand. She used the image of the magic stone cannons to intimidate the Skochinya people. There were few obstructions along the way. When the armies on both sides pressed forward, Nelis had already rushed into Ainphent's Undead Army and headed straight for Lone Star City.
In the camp at the front of Lone Star City, High Mages were sent to support them. Ainphent had already withdrawn his troops, and the Undead Army was bringing up the rear. Neris's Temple Legion left over three hundred corpses as they safely entered Lone Star City.
The huge metal gate of Lone Star City was slammed shut with a loud bang, and tens of thousands of dead souls were thrown out of the city. Ainphent was depressed. He had personally gone out of the city to welcome Neris. Neris was slowly killing people at the back of the camp, and his undead had suffered heavy losses. He had only brought a hundred or so Necromancers out of the city, but there were more than a hundred thousand Undead outside the city. In the end, less than fifty thousand Undead returned to the city. More than half of the Undead army had been killed by the enemy. Who knew how long it would take to summon them again?
Neris returned to her usual human form. She grinned and came to Ainphent's side. She patted his shoulder and said, "Ainphent, prepare a separate residence for my army."
Ainphent was furious. He said in a muffled voice, "Why?"
Neris pulled Ainphent and whispered in his ear, "Look at my demons. They all eat people. Aren't you worried that they will be placed with your army?"
Ainphent looked at the Temple Legion and saw that thousands of demons had stopped the magic arrays on their armors. They pushed up their masks and revealed their ferocious faces.
Seeing the five-meter-tall demon looking around, Ainphent had no choice but to swallow his anger and say, "Okay, I'll arrange it for you."
"That's right. Ainphent, where's Rex?"
Ainphent ignored Neris. He first ordered his subordinates to find a separate place for the Temple Legion to station in the valley. After his men left, Ainphent asked Nelis to go with him to see Rex.
Neris didn't dare to play any tricks when she saw Rex. She bowed to Rex obediently and said, "Princess, Master asked me to come over to help you defend the city."
"Where are the people you brought?" Rex sat upright and still. His expression was rather pleasant.
"They're outside the Magic Tower. I didn't let them in," Neris replied.
"Neris, tell me about their strength." Rex didn't let these Desolate Ancient Warriors in. He only asked Neris about the combat power of these Desolate Ancient Warriors.
"24. I can kill one of them without getting injured. If there are more than 10 of them, I will need to go all out. If there are more than four of them, I won't be able to deal with them. "
"What if you command them?"
"I can't. Only Master can command them. Ninth-level warriors are definitely stronger than silver Sword Saints. "
Rex nodded. What Neris meant was that these warriors were much weaker than gold Sword Saints. This was normal. If there were really 24 gold Sword Saints, they could easily kill the million-strong army outside the city.
However, this was still an extremely powerful force. It seemed that Salin had given her a choice. Should she kill the army outside the city? If she killed the army outside the city, the Tanggulas Empire's attack plan would change immediately. The pressure on Holy Rock City would be much less.
Salin's meaning was obvious. He had already made a decision. It was up to her to support him.
Rex sighed and said, "Hey, Neris, bring them back to the camp. I'll look for you if there's anything."
Neris asked carefully, "Princess, do you want me to go outside the city and kill for a while every day? I promise …"
"No need." Rex waved his hand and let Neris leave. She stood up and looked out of the Magic Tower's window. She could only see a line in the valley. She could see the main gate of Lone Star City from there. The tall fortress blocked her view.
Salin's decision was ruthless, but what could she do? She signed the contract with Salin. If she couldn't solve the Goddess' problem, both she and Salin would be in trouble. Her uncle didn't have her father's ability, but he insisted on controlling everything in the empire. This was the root of the trouble.
If she was in charge of this empire, there wouldn't be any trouble in the south. The nobles in the north would support her even more. But her uncle insisted on her younger brother succeeding the throne. Her uncle cared too much about the astrologer's words. Although he was a gold Sword Saint, he couldn't understand the meaning of astrology, right?
Perhaps it was because of this that she became the root of the empire's turmoil.
Salin, oh Salin, although you did the right thing, what about your younger brother? If the empire collapsed, he would be the emperor of a fallen empire. In history …
Rex left the window gloomily and returned to his meditation position. However, he couldn't enter meditation no matter what. The signing of the contract was not Salin's idea. Salin couldn't be blamed for this. Perhaps this was really fate. Master Merlin had already seen all this, but he couldn't change it.
Hmm?
Rex saw that Neris had left a letter on the table when she left. He actually didn't notice it. Even if Neris was a level-nine demon, she shouldn't have been able to hide from his senses in the Magic Tower!
He was a little distracted. This wasn't good. He couldn't control his emotions in his own Magic Tower. This was a very dangerous sign.
Rex picked up the letter and took out the paper. The paper was star-patterned paper. Beautiful magic words were written in dragon's blood ink.
Rex …
The beginning was a very stiff form of address. It couldn't be helped. Magic words were all like this. There were no nicknames. Although the pronunciation was complicated, the expression had to be clear. Rex smiled when he saw the beginning. Salin knew how to coax him.
Mages shouldn't think too much. It was enough to solve the problem. Although such a reminder was very blunt, it could directly cut into Rex's heart. Deep down, he was still a pure mage.
Neris said goodbye to Rex and came to the camp that Ainphent prepared for her. In the valley, Ainphent opened up a place that could accommodate fifty thousand people for the Temple Army to live in.
That was because there were eight thousand demons in the Temple Army. Each of these demons could occupy two human places.
Neris saw that Ainphent still didn't look too good as he commanded the undead to build a camp for her. She went up to him and asked, "Ainphent, you're Master's friend. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Ainphent shook his head and refused to answer Neris.
"Is it because we lost too many undead?" Neris's smile made Ainphent want to slap her. He had lost about seventy thousand undead. Thousands of them were level-four and above. It was very difficult to summon them.
Ainphent closed his lips. He was a ruthless person, but he knew that Neris couldn't be offended. No matter how good their relationship was, Salin couldn't kill such a capable subordinate for him. Salin would naturally support everything that Neris did.
"Ainphent, look at this." Neris took out the Crimson Soul Tower and waved it in front of Ainphent.
Ainphent was immediately attracted by the Crimson Soul Tower. Neris had killed many enemies in the end. More than seven thousand souls had been collected in the Crimson Soul Tower. Ainphent was a level-eight Necromancer. Of course, he could tell that this was something that could store souls. Other than souls, this thing could also store soul fire!
Ainphent's eyes were a little green. Neris stuffed the Crimson Soul Tower into Ainphent's hands and said, "Study it carefully."
Ainphent immediately wrapped the Crimson Soul Tower in undead flames and probed it with his perception. This safe method of investigation was a habit of necromancers. It was much safer than the method of elementalists.
Ainphent was dumbfounded after he roughly estimated that there were more than seven thousand complete souls. This thing could store even more souls!
"Ainphent, how is it? You lost so many undead. I'll think of a way to compensate you with a Crimson Soul Tower. "
"You're so kind?" Ainphent blurted out.
"Of course not. But there's an army of a million outside the city. Let's think of a way …"
"This is different from what Salin said!" Ainphent obviously knew that Neris wanted to collect a million souls. This suggestion made his blood boil, but his rationality told him that he couldn't destroy Salin's strategy.
