Salin did this not only to intimidate the Scottinyan people, but also to lure more divinities into depravity. Without a Crimson Soul Tower, how could he lure divinities?
A Crimson Soul Tower needed at least ten thousand souls to be of any use.
Sharman's eyes dimmed. She didn't want to be a general to kill people. Rather, she felt that being a general was impressive and could lead countless soldiers. In Sharman's heart, war was still a game for nobles. Both sides captured each other's soldiers and exchanged them with money.
When she first arrived, she was in the rear army and didn't see the tragedy outside Lonestar City. This time, she saw it with her own eyes, so she couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Sharman, there's a saying in the Qinyin people. A kind-hearted person shouldn't be allowed to lead an army. If you think I'm wrong, you should go back to your sister. "Salin didn't plan to change Sharman, and he didn't want to lecture her either. If Sharman couldn't carry out his orders, then she didn't deserve to be groomed as his general.
The ability to fight was one thing, but the determination to carry out a strategic plan was another. Many people could be generals, but they couldn't understand the meaning of war.
"But Brother Salin, they shouldn't die like this!" Sharman pointed into the distance. The light cavalry was shooting arrows or stabbing the wounded who hadn't died yet. Salin didn't need prisoners, so these soldiers carried out his orders well.
"They shouldn't be here either!" Rex said coldly. "Sharman, behind you are the twenty million people of the Metatlin Kingdom. If they step into Lonestar City, the Metatlin Kingdom will also be in a bloodbath. "
Sharman didn't explain further. She realized that everyone around her was looking at her with the same gaze. It was like how her parents looked at her when she was young. There was no sarcasm or pity. They were just looking at a child.
"There's another saying in the Qinyin Empire. The best way to end a war is to kill all the enemies." Rex threw down this sentence and suddenly rushed forward with her bodyguards.
She could feel that Sharman liked Salin very much. It was a very faint feeling, not love. However, as Sha Man grew up, this feeling would only deepen. Rex didn't want Salin to find another woman. Sicca had no choice. Before Rex, she had Salin's child.
Not to mention Sharman, even if Goddess Myers was resurrected, Rex would never let Salin go. For a woman who liked Salin, she hoped to stay as far away from him as possible.
Salin's eyes flickered as he watched Rex leave. He resisted the urge to chase after him. Rex spurred his horse forward. When he passed by a burning tent, a figure suddenly pounced out of the tent and stabbed Rex with a sword.
This figure was astonishingly fast, and his judgment was also very accurate. Rex's warhorse charged forward, and when the horse's hooves landed on the ground, this sword suddenly appeared. The edge of the sword was wrapped in golden sword aura.
This gold sword saint lurked in the burning tent and waited for the important figures in Metatron's army to pass by. Rex was followed by hundreds of guards, and judging from his attire, he was also an important Mage. This gold sword saint couldn't help but attack.
Everyone knew the outcome of a Gold Sword Saint ambushing a Rank Nine Mage at close range.
Sha Man opened her mouth and shouted. She drew her sword and was about to rush forward. Salin grabbed her, and suddenly, a colorful shield appeared in front of Rex. The gold sword saint's longsword made a crisp sound as it stabbed into the colorful shield. He still had a sneer on his face. A Rank Nine Magic Shield wanted to defend against the golden sword aura?
Rex smiled. She had already raised her left hand, and a small shield floated out of her Divine Sifting Ring, blocking the tip of the gold sword saint's sword.
Ding …
The gold sword saint's all-out attack was blocked by this small floating shield. The gold sword saint's expression turned serious. He knew he had been tricked. This Magic Shooter had already discovered him. How could he be killed in one strike?
The gold sword saint pulled out his sword, but saw the beautiful Magic Shooter's lips curl up. She spat out a shocking voice, "Disperse!"
Rex's family secret technique had already reached the initial stage. With this shout, the gold sword saint felt the sword aura in his body really disperse, and his power rapidly disappeared.
The hundreds of elven alchemy crossbows behind Rex fired at the same time.
The strength in the gold sword saint's hand decreased. When he tried to pull out his sword, it was actually stuck in the colorful shield. By the time he let go of his sword, half a second had already passed.
The golden sword aura burst out from the surface of the gold sword saint's body again. The crossbow bolts that had been smeared with purple gold liquid were all blown away. None of them could hit his body.
Rex smiled and shouted again, "Disperse!"
Her voice wasn't loud, but the gold sword saint felt the sword aura in his body resonate with her and really dissipate. After being hit twice in a row, the gold sword saint finally remembered a legend about the Grux family. It was too late. The guards behind Rex kept firing alchemy crossbows. The golden sword aura dissipated, and the crossbow bolts finally penetrated the gold sword saint's armor. In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred crossbow bolts shot into his body.
Rex reined in her horse and slowly retreated. The gold sword saint's longsword was still embedded in her colorful shield.
The gold sword saint was hit by a hundred arrows. He knew he couldn't live. There was surprise and regret in his eyes. His hand that was holding the sword was empty. He pointed at Rex and wanted to say something, but more than a dozen crossbow bolts shot out again. Half of them shot into his mouth, and his head exploded.
A gold sword saint had died so inexplicably and unjustly.
Rex was relieved to see the gold sword saint's head completely shattered. She deactivated the magic shield and reached out to take the gold sword saint's longsword. The gold sword saint's weapon wasn't of a low level. A slightly flawed weapon wouldn't be able to withstand the power of the golden sword aura.
Salin was relieved to see Rex turn his horse around and walk back. He also discovered that the gold sword saint was hiding in the tent. He couldn't help but want to stop Rex from going forward. Although he knew that Rex had the Shenluo Ring, Salin was still very nervous.
He wasn't the one taking the risk. It was Rex. Salin couldn't deal with the gold sword saint for her.
Rex threw the gold sword saint's longsword to one of his guards. Without looking at Sharman, he walked toward the nameless river. Both parties passed each other. Salin frowned. He lifted his Nightmare Warhorse and followed Rex.
"What's wrong, Grace?"
"Sharman will affect you in the future if she does this."
"How is that possible?"
"Why not?" Rex turned back to look at Salin. There seemed to be lake water rippling in her blue eyes.
Salin followed Rex's warhorse across the frozen nameless river. He didn't understand why Rex asked that. He didn't understand because he didn't have any feelings for Sharman. He didn't even see her as a little sister. Sharman was only Duke Gu Ya's sister, not his.
Among the four dukes under Salin, Ainphent was good at necromancy. He was also very good at commanding troops in battles. This was natural. The other three dukes were all recruiting soldiers and buying horses, but most of the time, they were focused on construction.
Salin did his best to expand the military, while the three dukes worked hard on construction. There were already many medium-sized cities in the Metatlin Kingdom. Most of them were renovated in Phoenix. These three dukes contributed a lot.
Seeing that Salin was speechless, Rex said, "Your Highness, I don't have time to train a general for you."
Salin smiled bitterly. "Grace, this is Sharman's sister …"
"She's very pretty. I like Gu Ya too," Rex said, which made Salin speechless.
"How about we let her go to Great Liang City?" Salin finally said after a long while. He vaguely understood what Rex meant. If Sharman couldn't understand what everyone was doing, then she shouldn't stay in the elite army as a commander, no matter how strong or talented she was in battle. If she couldn't carry out the king's intentions, it would be a great harm to the army.
Rex was going to refuse at first, but thinking about it, Sharman would be a problem sooner or later if she stayed by Salin's side. If she was transferred to Great Liang City, Great Liang City wouldn't launch any attacks for three to five years. They just had to defend the city.
Sharman was kind-hearted. She would fight for the people in the city.
"Alright, Salin. Being a king isn't like you. Sigh …" Rex suddenly felt that her tone wasn't good, so she stopped. Salin walked side by side with her now.
"A superior should have compassion, not personal feelings." Rex didn't know how to adjust her tone, so she could only say a Glückos royal proverb stiffly.
Salin repeated softly, "A superior should have compassion, not personal feelings … Who said this?"
"A Glückos said it."
"Well said. I think it's compassion if we end the war on the continent as soon as possible. If we hesitate in the war, it's personal feelings playing tricks on us. Lace, am I right? "Salin asked seriously.
"More or less." Rex heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Salin didn't mind her tone. She didn't want to give Salin any pointers. Salin was a good learner. Even if she didn't say anything, Salin would still learn. It was just that she heard Sharman's tone when she called Salin just now was very uncomfortable. A woman's mind was playing tricks on her.
"I understand. I will send Sharman to Great Liang City and give her some missions to kill time and gain experience. Before she changes her mind, I won't see her again. I'm afraid this war will last for a long time. "Salin's tone became heavy unknowingly.
"Hmm, as you wish, Your Highness," Rex said softly. Salin's heart fluttered again. However, they were still close to the battlefield, and the smell of blood assaulted his nostrils. He wasn't in the mood to be intimate with Rex.
"Grace, I'm still a little worried about what we're going to do next. I really don't know what will happen tomorrow. "Salin changed the topic and stopped talking about Sharman.
"What's there to worry about? If we can't do it, we'll all die, or become the victims of the contract. When you have no other choice, just do it obediently. "
"Victims?" Salin said softly. He thought of the tablet left behind by the Goddess. If he used the level-19 Star Condensation Needle to destroy it, would the contract still exist? As soon as this thought appeared, it grew and strengthened crazily in Salin's heart. This thousand-year contract was too heavy a burden on him. He had always been led by this contract.
