[Third watch, fourth watch tomorrow]
Ainphent said coldly, "I didn't suffer any losses back then. If I didn't have the money from selling magic cores, I wouldn't have gotten such a good undead flame and wouldn't have achieved what I have today."
Ainphent also knew about Neris's background. He didn't want to be tempted by this little demon. Among the four dukes of the Metatlin Kingdom, he was the only one who led an army. This was because Salin was close to him. If Salin didn't care about relationships, he wouldn't have so many troops even if he was a level 8 Magic Shooter.
"Ainphent, do you think I'll do something to ruin Master's plan?" Neris asked seriously.
Ainphent thought carefully and said, "Probably not, at least not now."
"Alright, you don't have to worry about things here. Let the demons do their work. These guys are trouble anyway. Ainphent, we'll go to your place and discuss how we can get more … "
Ainphent quickly stopped Neris. He looked around and pulled Neris away from the valley. The necromancers around Ainphent looked at each other and ordered the undead to leave. Since Neris didn't need them to do hard work, the necromancers were happy to be free of worry. They lost too many undead in the battle outside the city. They still had to go back and manage the untrained undead. It was a huge project.
The necromancers left and the generals and bannermen of the temple army handed the work to the demons. The great demon ordered the demons to start building the camp.
Ainphent had already prepared a camp for the temple army. It was just that the camp was too small, so Neris asked for a new camp. The humans in the Temple Legion took off their armors and rested, while the demons worked in full swing.
Neris led 24 Desolate Warriors to Ainphent's magic tower. She still had the Desolate Warriors guard outside while she and Love You entered the magic tower.
More than 10,000 undead outside the city were chopped into pieces one by one. It was useless for the Skochinya people to be angry. They killed a large number of undead, but they also lost more than 20,000. The number of injured soldiers was more than 30,000. This ratio of casualties was because the soldiers attacked by the demons and Neris could not be saved. Especially when Neris's dragon breath, they were turned into ashes.
The lethality of a demon's weapons was also terrifying. All the demon's main weapons weighed around forty kilograms, and powerful demons even had weapons that weighed over a hundred kilograms. Even the axes and halberds of the magic infantry were not much different from those of the demons.
There were close to 5,000 soldiers who had died from heavy weapons and heavy injuries. On the other hand, most of the soldiers who had been injured in the battle against the Undead army could still be saved. Many mages were mixed into Skokinya's army, and these mages specialized in healing the undead.
The Skocynthians furiously attacked the city, leaving behind another thousand corpses. They only managed to kill the same number of undead and could only retreat. Lone Star City's construction was too sturdy. Large catapults were unable to destroy the city walls, and battering rams were unable to break through the city gates. Mages who flew above the city walls would be forced to land by the no-fly zone.
This was a tough bone to chew. The Skochinya soldiers retreated gloomily. The consumption of food for this million army was huge, and they were not like the Qinyin Empire. Food was a huge problem for them.
The Qin nobles loved food, and no matter how much the farmers grew, they would not buy it at a lower price. Lone Star City had enough reserves. They would not worry even if they were surrounded for decades.
They could only wait for the Holy See army to break through the Qinyin border and attack. Within Skokinya, there was no news of reinforcements.
In the vast sea, a thick fog was condensed and did not dissipate. The Desolate Antiquity Battleship was hidden within, following Salin's fleet. The submerged warships spread out in front of the fleet, searching for targets fifty kilometers away.
Salin carefully went around the islands controlled by the Yunliu people and headed south in the depths of the sea. Salin's address was given on the Ironblood Duke's invitation. It was an island five thousand kilometers east of Yunliu. This was already a very dangerous area. Although it was far from the Storm Sea, high-level magical beasts roamed about, and storms often visited.
Salin did not touch the islands along the way because he did not want to alarm the Ironblood Duke. His plan was simple. When he got close to the island where the Ironblood Duke was, he would bring Zola and Nicholas there. In this period of time, he could also create twenty-four Fragments of Eternal Control, allowing twenty-four Desolate Warriors to fight with him.
Salin did not believe that such power could not save Trish and the other demons. If he could not even deal with the Ironblood Duke, how could he deal with the Holy See?
In the past, Salin had always been careful and calculated. Now that he had the power to control the situation of the continent, Salin's mentality had changed. Salin felt that he would become more and more like his teacher.
Despite Jason's gentle demeanor, Salin was full of admiration for his methods. The Seriger Island was a huge force, yet Jason split it up just like that. He even had a large number of Magic Shooters following him. Even the strongest Level 9 Magic Shooter on the island could not do anything. He could only search for new mages to replenish the strength of the Seriger Island. He even let Jason take away a large amount of equipment and wealth. If it had been him, Salin would not have been able to do it.
Because Jason was not even a Magic Shooter a few years ago. He really did not know how he could control so many mages.
This time, Salin did not use the magic compass. Instead, he used the star chart to find the coordinates of the island. No matter how advanced the magic compass was, it could easily be detected by Magic Shooters. Salin knew that the Ironblood Duke would definitely ask Magic Shooters to pay attention to the movements on the sea. If he used the magic compass to find the coordinates, he would be discovered before he even reached the island.
No matter how big the fleet was, it was still an inconspicuous dot in the sea. Salin's thirty ships traveled thousands of miles, getting closer and closer to the coordinates given by the Ironblood Duke.
Salin called Truman to his side and said, "You stay on the Dragon Skeleton Warship. You have no right to command. You only need to decide whether to retreat or not. Don't let the fleet suffer heavy losses. I will go to the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship and let the captain command the battle. "
"Teacher, I'm not going?"
"Your level is still low, Truman. I will let you stay by my side for a long time in the future, not in this battle. There will be plenty of opportunities. Plus, a mage doesn't have to fight. Remember, if you see the enemy's ancient warship, use the magic cannons. If you don't see the ancient warship, pretend you don't exist. Understand? "
"Yes, teacher!" Truman cheered up and replied loudly.
"Don't do that. Hehe, be careful. When I leave, split up the fleet and enter the protection circle of the ancient warship." Salin called the captain of the ancient warship over. The great mage of Seriger Island was already at level 6, but he was still far from becoming a Magic Shooter.
"Your Highness."
"Captain, you can't be a mage now. Just like the training in the Frozen Sea, all commands are to protect the fleet. Before I come back, don't fight as long as you can get rid of the enemy. "
"Understood. I'll treat it as another training."
"Alright, take care!" Salin said and left the Dragon Skeleton Warship with Zola and Nicholas. They dove into the water.
The Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship was waiting below. The six Jade Skulls controlled the ship with ease. These Jade Skulls were the treasures of the Wing Skeletons. It was very difficult to make them gain intelligence.
Salin took over the control of the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship as soon as he boarded. This ship was no longer a pure undead equipment. Because of the addition of a magic furnace and the removal of the complicated alchemy mechanical structure, the noise of the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship was dozens of times lower when traveling at high speed. There was no need to worry about being discovered by enemies from afar.
Salin also brought along twenty-four Desolate Warriors in new uniforms. With these Desolate Warriors, Salin was full of confidence. The space inside the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship was much larger. This Coiled Turtle Shell was bigger than the one Salin caught, and of a higher level. If it encountered a level-9 earth spell again, it wouldn't be petrified or damaged even if it was trapped.
The Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship opened its Undead Eye and moved 500 meters underwater. At this depth, only a level-9 Magic Shooter would be able to discover it.
The magic furnace didn't make any sound. The six Jade Skulls were so bored that they directed a few skeletons to throw low-level magic cores into the furnace. The magic furnace was a good thing. It could swallow all kinds of energy and then convert it into pure magic power. It was not a problem to operate alchemy machinery or magic arrays.
The modified alchemy machinery was in a state of non-operation. The shell of the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship was wrapped in a huge bubble, and it was moving silently.
The only part of the ship that Salin had modified was the warehouse. Inside the warehouse, there were twelve space boxes made of purple gold sea urchins. Each of these space boxes had a capacity of more than ten cubic meters. They were filled with all kinds of magic cores and crystals produced by the demon city.
Without the Wing Skeletons, the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship only stored forty-eight modified large pieces of Weeping Blood Stone. Twenty-four high-level Bone Spirits were swimming in the spiritual pool, and another twenty-four high-level Bone Spirits were sealed in the black crystal. After these forty-eight Bone Spirits were used up, the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship temporarily had no means of attack.
Thinking of this, Salin hated the Grand Master so much that his teeth itched.
"Master, it seems that we have arrived." Nicholas pointed at the black and white three-dimensional image in the magic image. Ten miles ahead, there was a huge reef. This was already close to the island where the Iron Blood Grand Duke resided. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a reef in the deep sea. Along the way, the shallowest part of the sea was more than three thousand meters.
"Go into the water, Zola, change your equipment!" Salin glared at Zola and forced him to change into the magic armor and put on the mask. After Zola advanced to a Gold Sword Saint, he refused to wear armor no matter what. He only wore plain clothes.
Salin knew that this was not because Zola wanted to challenge his limits, but because he was pretending in front of a woman. Although the defense of the golden sword energy was better than any armor, Salin did not want Zola to waste his strength on diving.
The three of them left the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship with the Desolate Warriors. In the dark and cold sea, they followed the current and moved towards the island. A huge shark swam over. Salin took out his bone hammer. The shark was frightened and turned to escape.
