There's still one more to go.
Nicholas and Zola didn't know what to do when they saw how anxious Salin was. They weren't fools. They knew that the Warriors could be controlled with alchemy, so they naturally thought of what Salin was worried about.
Zola was a genius, but he didn't dare say he could deal with tens of thousands of Warriors. Those warriors would turn him into a beehive. He couldn't even deal with a few hundred, let alone tens of thousands.
Nicholas thought even further. If the Iron Blood Grand Duke obtained the ability to control all of the Primordial Warriors, the Church would be nothing. The things he worried about would get further and further away. From this point of view, it wasn't a bad thing.
The problem was that the Iron Duke and his master weren't on the same side. If he attacked Metatlin first, it wouldn't be good. Given enough time, his master could also control more Warriors, but it definitely wouldn't be as fast as alchemy. This was a matter of time. After the Iron Duke attacked Lianyun City, would he march inland, or would he go north along the coast and attack Metatlin?
The Cloud Flow people's navy was the strongest, so it was more likely that they would attack Metatlin.
Salin's eyes flashed. Thousands of thoughts spun in his mind. They were all about how to deal with the current situation. Judging from the time it took for Inpos to reach Cloud Flow, the Iron Blood Grand Duke might have already gained control of many Primordial Warriors. The only problem now was whether the Cloud Flow people had mastered the technology of the Magic Furnace.
With the Magic Furnace, many large equipment and puppets could be manufactured relatively easily. This was a decisive technology in war. Controlling the Desolate Warriors was still a small matter. If the Mana Furnace's technology were to spread, then the forces he had on hand would be somewhat insufficient.
Salin obviously didn't think he could do whatever he wanted with the Elemental Badge. If that was the case, the continent would've been unified by Alchemy City long ago. If they wanted to occupy land, they still had to rely on the regular army. Mages only played an important role. An ordinary Magic Shooter had to be picked out of ten thousand and trained for decades. Once he died, dozens of years of hard work would go to waste. If he wanted to train another one, it would take another dozens of years.
It wasn't that there weren't Magic Shooters like him who advanced so quickly, but they'd been trained with a lot of money. How many magic cores did he use? Even a Magician's brain couldn't figure it out. In any case, the cost for an ordinary Magician to advance to the ninth rank would probably only be one-tenth of his, or even less. Such a method of training mages would never become popular.
Should he directly charge to the Ironblood Grand Duke's side and launch a surprise attack?
"Your Highness, I think it's possible." Jorah pressed his hand on his sword and said to Salin.
"What do you mean?"
"My Lord, you look like you're going to kill someone. Of course you're going to kill the Ironblood Grand Duke. The Iron Blood Duke is in the prime of his life, so he definitely hasn't arranged for an heir yet. Once he dies, the family will fall into internal strife and won't be able to threaten the Lord for the time being. "
"Cloud Flow is like this?"
"Of course. I know the Ironblood Duke. His sons are all young, and they all have their own supporters. Once he dies, these supporters will definitely split up for their own interests. "Zola was very clear about Yun Liu's situation. He was not speaking carelessly.
"I don't have much confidence. Save Trish first." Salin calmed down after hearing Zola's words. What was he going to do? It was to rescue the devil. The Ironblood Grand Duke would definitely attack Lianyun City first. Before that, it was better for him not to do anything. Everything was handled by Holy Rock City.
If Lianyun City didn't fall, it was impossible for Holy Rock City and Alchemy City to turn against each other. Now that Alchemy City had released Yun Liu, if Lianyun City fell, how would Sephiroth deal with it?
Although Salin didn't want the Ironblood Grand Duke to become a threat, he didn't necessarily have to kill him. The key was still the Primordial Warship in the Ironblood Grand Duke's hands and Inpos.
Thinking this through, Salin no longer hesitated. He said to Nicholas, "Find Trish's location again. Don't worry and use Descent. I'll compensate you for any losses."
Nicholas could only nod. This time, he took out more than 20 Iron Bone Rat corpses and summoned souls from his Bloody Soul Tower, sending them into the bodies of the Iron Bone Rats. These Iron Bone Rats bowed to Nicholas and waited for his orders. Nicholas spoke in that incomprehensible language again, and the Iron Bone Rats finally left.
"Master, in a situation like this, it's safer to kill the Ironblood Grand Duke." Seeing that Nicholas was in a daze again, Zola started to persuade Salin.
"That's difficult. I heard that Yun Liu has a substitute. The people on this island might not be the Ironblood Grand Duke." Salin completely calmed down. Why would the Ironblood Grand Duke risk his life to pass through Alchemy City's blockade and attack Lianyun City himself? Moreover, he didn't find a large fleet on the sea. The Ironblood Grand Duke probably hadn't organized his army yet. Alchemy City would also be wary of Yun Liu.
If he killed someone now and killed a substitute, it wouldn't be worth it. If that happened, the Ironblood Grand Duke would attack his own city first. That would go against his plan.
Qin Yin stood at the side and didn't fall. Because of Rex, Salin couldn't attack openly. On the other hand, Qin Yin occupied more than half of Phoenix. His kingdom was tightly restricted and couldn't develop. Unless he controlled all of Phoenix, his food supply would always be limited.
War wasn't something that could be done in a year or two. The Tanggulas Empire was in such a hurry because they didn't have enough food.
Salin was furious when he thought of how he'd been desperately buying food at high prices in the past year. If he controlled all of Phoenix, he wouldn't be in such a difficult situation. What was more hateful was that Alchemy City threatened him and wanted to control the trade of magic cores. Alright, I won't sell them anymore. I'll put all the magic cores into the war. I'll produce and sell all the food myself.
Salin was furious. Zola was still nagging.
"Master, you have to kill some strong people before you leave. Otherwise, it won't look good for us. The Ironblood Grand Duke took your servant in name, but it was actually a provocation. If you don't teach him a lesson, the nobles that came to you … "
"It's just taking women. You can take as many as you want on this island," Salin said nonchalantly. The Ironblood Grand Duke was provoking him in hopes of a decisive battle on the sea to settle the northern waters of Lianyun City.
He was worried about Yun Liu, but Yun Liu was also worried about his power.
Salin hadn't figured out how a decisive battle would benefit him. If he did, he wouldn't be afraid of fighting the Ironblood Grand Duke head-on. His Dragonskeleton Warship was very special. It could go ashore and fly to the Barren Ancient Warship. This secret hadn't been spread out yet.
Salin tested the Barren Ancient Warship. Even with the Magic Furnace at full power, it still couldn't match the speed of the Dragonskeleton Warship.
In the center of the island, in a tall palace, a few people were drinking. On Yun Liu's long table, the exquisite porcelain dishes were already cold. The four people sitting around were still toasting each other.
The leader of the group was also taller than most of the people who were standing. He had a red beard on his face, and his body was strong and muscular. He was wearing a flowing silk robe and a retro crown on his head.
This middle-aged man wasn't handsome at all, but he had a dignified appearance. His purple eyes were deep and clear, as if they could see through people's souls. The problem with his appearance was all made up for by his aura. No one would notice that there were many pockmarks on his face.
Opposite of the pockmarks was an even weirder person. This person's face was completely metal. Only his chin was human, and he had a short beard. This person didn't sit on a chair. Alchemy machinery was installed on his lower body. He had six legs and a scorpion-like tail.
This person was Inpos, the Magic Shooter of Alchemy City. He looked even more terrifying than the last time Salin saw him. Now, there were fewer and fewer human characteristics on his body. Apart from metal, he had organs made of demon beast bones. One of Inpos' eyes had also turned into a pure, transparent blue crystal. Only one human eye was left. It was lifeless, and the eyeball didn't even move.
One of the people drinking with him was wearing a black magic robe. Like Inpos, he was also a Level-9 Magic Shooter. This Level-9 Magic Shooter had long silver hair. His face also looked very old. Obviously, he had advanced to Magic Shooter when he was old, and his appearance couldn't go back.
The other person wore a cloth shirt as white as snow. His long hair was tied up, and he wore a jade awl. He had a short sword under his ribs.
Among the four people, this person was the youngest and looked the most normal. Although his appearance was ordinary, he had his own style. This person had four pupils in his eyes. It wasn't that there were two pupils in each eyeball, but that there were four pupils in each eyeball. Double pupils were already rare, and a person with four pupils like him had never been heard of before.
He extended his hand and handed over a snow-white porcelain cup. On the table, a miniature puppet about half a meter tall poured wine for him. On the finger of his left hand, he wore a ring. The gem on the ring was embedded with complex and mysterious mageweath.
Judging from the attitude of the other three people toward him, he was also a Level-9 powerhouse. The Level-9 powerhouse who used a sword was, of course, a Gold Sword Saint.
Around a table, two Level-9 Magic Shooters and two Gold Sword Saints. This kind of power was strong enough.
"Your Grace." The Gold Sword Saint in snow-white clothes raised his wine cup and said with a slight gesture, "Haven't you made up your mind?"
The person he was talking to was a tall man with a pockmarked face. This Iron Blood Grand Duke's appearance was indeed majestic and mighty. It matched his name very well.
"No." The Iron Blood Grand Duke drank the wine in his cup in one gulp and said, "Metatlin City is not easy to attack for the time being. I don't know if Salin will be angry and come to fight the four women. If he goes to Lone Star City, we can only attack Lianyun City first. "
The old Magic Shooter said, "Duke, even with Master Inpos here, can't we take Metatlin City?"
The Iron Blood Grand Duke shook his head cautiously and said, "Thirty-six magic towers, thirty-six!"
