[I recommend a book from a friend. It's a game, Star Hunting in Rebirth. I've read the book. It's slightly toxic, and the results are not bad. Those who like games can read it. Those who don't like it, don't complain about me. I've always liked games. I wanted to write an absurd chapter yesterday, but I fell asleep after finishing work. The computer wasn't turned off, and I had a terrible dream. When I woke up, it was almost midnight, and I didn't write a single word … It can be seen that I'm still under a lot of pressure. Everyone vote for me to let Old D relax a little, and not be so nervous all the time.]
The Pope could no longer care about other things. After communicating with the three chief judges of the Inquisition, the Inquisition did not hold back. 50,000 elite prison guards were immediately mobilized, as well as a large number of black-robed priests.
It was not that there were no priests in the Cardinal Institution, but a large number of priests had to preach in the church during the war to stabilize the rear. This was different from normal times. There was now a famine in the Tanggulas Empire. The support of the nobles for this war was too low, and no one was willing to provide food.
The army of the Inquisition was independent of the Holy Army of the Vatican. In fact, this was a precursor to the Vatican's split. It was only because of the start of the Holy War that the split was delayed indefinitely. Unless the Vatican unified the continent, the Inquisition was not willing to have such internal friction.
The attack on the Cloud Flow Empire's subsidiary duchies was the Inquisition's desire to get a share of the loot. However, the Pope immediately negotiated with the Cloud Flow people, and the plan of the Titan Duchy, where the Inquisition was located, was ruined. Of course, the Inquisition was not willing to stop the war just like that.
The Pope and the Inquisition could be said to have hit it off with the matter of Lone Star City. The Pope still controlled the frontline at the Qin Yin border, and the Inquisition dispatched 200,000 elites to cross the back of the frontline, straight in the direction of the Rhine Duchy.
The Inquisition nominally dispatched 200,000 elites, but in reality, there were also 50,000 Blood Knights and 100,000 Redeemers. There was a total of 350,000 troops heading to Lone Star City.
The Vatican had already controlled most of Jialou Lan, and the roads within the territory were well-developed. The 350,000 Inquisition troops could advance more than 600 miles every day. For the Tanggulas people, this kind of speed was already quite fast. Salin returned to Metatlin City to rest and reorganize. The Inquisitor's army was about to reach Lone Star City.
The Church's line of defense in the north of the Bitter Water County could not stop Rex's spies. The spies left in the Jialoulan Kingdom reported the movements of the Judgement Court's army to Great Liang City, and Great Liang City sent the news to Metatlin City. Salin had no choice but to be anxious now.
It was just that the Metatlin Kingdom and the Bitter Water Prefectural Kingdom didn't have enough resources. Salin could mobilize a hundred thousand troops, but that was pretty much his limit. He had to conserve his strength to defend against attacks from the sea and the area around Mars City. Great Liang City's army was also unable to pass through the layers of obstacles to rescue Lone Star City.
Salin knew that this 200,000-strong army was only the beginning. The Vatican's decision to attack Lone Star City had exceeded his expectations. Now, he could only think of a way to defeat this army.
He must have attracted the attention of the Church. Otherwise, why would Pope Dinicio mobilize the power of the Judgement Court? From Nicholas, Salin was already very clear about the relationship between the Judgement Court and the College of Cardinals. He understood that this meant that the Church was starting to see him in a different light, and no longer treated him as a small king.
Salin had no choice but to mobilize another two hundred Elven Wings and a hundred metal flying machines from Metatlin City behind him while the army was stationed.
These metal flying machines were also replicated by the mages of Seriger Island. They were different from the metal flying monsters like the Iron Blood Grand Duke. Their main means of attack was the Alchemy Crossbow, which was similar to the Elven Wings. However, these metal flying machines could carry a large number of crossbow bolts. They were extremely heavy, and their defense was not as good as the Elven Wings.
Under the volley of a large number of Alchemy Crossbow bolts, even Magic Shooters did not dare to approach these metal flying machines. If a few Magic Shooters attacked the enemy with the metal flying machines, it would be much safer.
The rules of war had quietly changed. The strong had begun to participate in the battles of ordinary people. The rules that Alchemy City had painstakingly built were broken, and no one cared about Alchemy City's attitude anymore.
Fortunately, the power on the continent was increasing rapidly, but the number of Magic Shooters was still the least. The speed at which Swordsmen became Swordsmen had increased by more than ten times, and the speed at which Mages became Great Mages had also increased by more than three times. However, there were still not many changes to the Magic Shooters.
The Magic Shooters under Salin's command were basically all in Metatlin City. The newly advanced Magic Shooters were selected by Jason and sent into the Six Yuan Space in the demiplane. These Magic Shooters that were sent in had two characteristics. First, they were trustworthy mages. Second, their qualifications were relatively ordinary, and they had no hope of advancing to Level-10.
The more talented mages were all kept by Jason and sent into the Magic Towers of the Magic Shooters to speed up their advancement by consuming large amounts of magic cores.
The Six Yuan Space was good, but it was a place where the ancient mages used alchemy. Speeding up the advancement to Level-9 was just a by-product. This kind of advancement was really not appropriate. When he advanced to Level-10 in the future, it would be more difficult to understand the rules and the power of the soul.
Salin mobilized 200 Elven Wings and 100 metal flying machines because there were still very few Magic Shooters. This kind of flying equipment was still very effective against infantry.
Moreover, Salin had never thought of using the flying army to attack the enemy's army. Instead, he wanted them to hunt down the enemy's scouts or chase down the scattered troops.
To deal with the dense enemy army, Salin had the Demons and his Drum of Fear.
The Drum of Fear had the ability to distinguish between friend and foe. Under Salin's control, only the enemy could bear the power of the Drum of Fear. This was the true value of the Drum of Fear. The human skin war drums of black mages would sometimes hurt their own troops, so they had never been popular.
Salin's Metatlin City was close to Lone Star City in a straight line, but they had to take a long detour. The troops of the Magistrate Tribunal were deployed from Titan's territory, so the distance was more than twice as far. However, the road was wide, and they had set off a week earlier. Salin's side could only speed up and strive to enter Lone Star City before the troops of the Magistrate Tribunal arrived.
In the nameless fortress to the north of Lone Star City, 5,000 troops were stationed. After Salin's 100,000 troops arrived, they didn't enter the fortress at all. Instead, they threw down some equipment and directly killed their way to the Skocania's camp.
Salin's army reached 100,000 troops, of which 50,000 were elites. Attacking a camp of more than 200,000 troops was no problem at all. This camp in the north was to defend against the reinforcements of Metatlin City. However, the intelligence here was completely blocked. At most, they could reach the nameless fortress to the north. When Salin set off from the nameless fortress, he sent out 100 Elven Wings and killed who knew how many scouts along the way.
Zola was heavily injured and wouldn't be able to recover without a few months. This time, Salin only brought Nicholas and Sharman with him. Sharman's advancement speed was much scarier than Zola's. She was now at the peak of Silver Sword Saint. However, she was still young, so advancing to Rank 9 was a bit difficult for Sharman.
Salin's elemental creatures were not small, but none of his 24 Desolate Warriors were injured. With these 24 guys by his side, Salin was very assured of his own safety. He now had the Crystal Finger and the Eye of Thunder for close combat, and the Family Crest for long range combat. Unless he was surrounded by two or more Level 10 powerhouses, or a group of Level 9 powerhouses like the Iron Blood Grand Duke, he really didn't care about the 200,000 Skochinyans.
The increase in the power of the plane didn't just change the fate of the top powerhouses. The way the entire continent fought would be similar to the ancient times. Without the strongest powerhouse, no matter how many troops there were, it was useless.
Salin only temporarily notified the troops in Lone Star City. When Ainphent heard that Salin was coming personally, he directly gathered 100,000 Undead and killed his way to the main camp in one go.
There were 400,000 elites in the main camp of the Skocania people, of which 100,000 were the empire's main force. The power of the Undead army lied in their numbers. An army of a million Undead could easily kill tens of thousands of elites. However, if the numbers were equal, it would be very difficult for the Undead army to defeat the human army.
Right now, there were only 100,000 Undead. Ainphent was creating an opportunity for Salin to prevent the Skocania people in the main camp from supporting the northern camp. Ainphent didn't know Salin's current strength, so it was understandable. After all, he was only a Rank 8 Magic Shooter. Although the Plant Undead were powerful, he couldn't summon a million Undead army for the time being. The death energy he provided couldn't support that many Undead army.
Although Nelis was excited, she didn't care about this matter. She knew that her master had the Drum of Fear and Elemental Creatures. Against ordinary troops, these two equipment were absolutely invincible.
Salin's 100,000 troops couldn't line up on the battlefield. The Temple of God's two battalions were at the front, while the main force's three battalions were at the back. They were separated into groups of 10,000 and charged towards the Skocania camp.
Salin didn't care about tactics at all. He was worried about the power of the Judgement Tribunal, so he simply summoned twenty-four Elemental Stone Soldiers and thirty-six Orange Knights. He released them when they were a kilometer away from the camp.
These 60 Elemental Creatures were enlarged to the limit, each of them more than 100 meters tall. When these Elemental Creatures fell into the Skocania's line of sight, the mercenaries in the Skocania army were the first to collapse.
Thousands of people abandoned the camp and fled. These people clearly saw the appearance of the enemy. The Elemental Creatures weren't fast. The Temple of God's army followed closely behind to prevent the team from getting separated. Salin was also giving the enemy time to escape, so it would be easier to attack the scattered camp. There should be at least a dozen Magic Shooters in this camp, right? If they really fought recklessly, they would lose another batch of Elemental Creatures.
The psychological pressure caused by 60 100-meter tall Elemental Creatures charging side by side was huge. Especially the Orange Knights. Their bodies were covered in flames, shooting out from the gaps in their armor. The high temperature spread from afar. A hundred meters away, another batch of soldiers chose to escape.
The Elemental Creatures kicked the walls of the camp into pieces. The Elemental Stone Soldiers swung their magic war hammers wildly. The enemy couldn't resist at all. Ordinary soldiers would die with just a touch, while high-level Swordsmen could still dodge. The long-range weapons in the camp were also meaningless. Alchemy crossbows, catapults, and magic stone cannons couldn't cause any real damage to these Elemental Creatures.
