Chapter 319: Crazy Expeditionary Force (I)
"What is this, the Marquis of the year...... I've thought about this kind of thing. I'm just telling you from the book. "When Elenno talks about her man, there is no longer the sadness of the past. She had a good life in Metatrin City, and now that she had advanced to a sixth-level mage, she had already recovered to the peak of her strength in the Myers Continent without the need for that bracelet.
Salin thought to himself, your man, preferably dead. This kind of mind is too terrifying, no wonder it can rise quickly in a place like the Tangulas Empire.
Thinking so in his heart, Salin didn't dare to say it. He said to Elenor, "How about you take care of this?"
Elenor said, "I'm a mage, and you asked me to do this?"
"But there is no one around me who can do it, only you. You came up with this idea, and I don't worry about others. ”
"Forget it, Salin, you know I'm not going to do this, so you choose a few people, and I'll teach them. This kind of trivial matter, about half a month, is almost learned. "Elenor refused Saleen's appointment.
Saleen wasn't surprised. He refused to do this kind of thing, and he would not do it, it would consume a lot of time every day, and it would be a waste of life for the magician. Elenore's willingness to find a few people to mentor is the best outcome.
The internal affairs must be certain, and Salin began to cultivate in the temple.
Sixth-level mages already need a magic tower to gather rich elements, so that they can speed up the pace of magic cultivation and enter the ranks of magicians as soon as possible. Without the Magic Tower, it would take ten times as much energy for the magician to have hope.
Anthony and Franco, who came to Salin, are a hundred times stronger than Salin in terms of qualifications. It's just because there is no money to build a magic tower, and the speed of cultivation is only at the level of ordinary people.
Salin's current temple does not come out from the outside, and in fact, the six floors where he lives are no different from the layout of a magic tower. On the sixth floor, in addition to the mages who served him, there was also a huge alchemy room. The arrangement of the entire six floors, connected to the five floors below, is a huge magic array.
The material of the temple is steel rock and white stone spacing is practical, and the key place is still steel rock. Where Salin lives, the intensity of the elements is more than enough as a ninth-level magic tower. So the mage of Shreig Island, Daniel. and Elenor, both of whom were arranged by Saleen to live in the temple.
There are not many rooms on the sixth floor, each one is big enough, Salin has a room, which has always been closed, never opened, even if he enters, and also through the teleportation array, he would rather consume a few magic cores. The whole room, completely enclosed, only at the top, with ventilation holes to the outside.
Salin was now in this room, and the closed room was filled with water. Saleen floated in the water, his eyes beaming with joy. Next to his body, a six-meter-long brontosaurus swam around Salin.
This thunder dragon grew to a length of six meters in the goddess's necklace, and it was ready to help Salin fight. On the light cyan skin of the thunder dragon, the golden magic patterns were already very clear. Between the swimming, those golden magic patterns are still changing regularly. The room is not large, and Salin can only release one thunder dragon at a time. Carry out feeding.
What he fed to the Brontosaurus was often added with the water of repair, and even the magic liquid. In the necklace space of the goddess, the soul of the thunder dragon grows normally, and it can even be said to be very powerful, but because of the lack of normal battles in nature, the physical strength of the thunder dragon is slightly insufficient. Brontosaurus is not a creature that fights hand-to-hand in the first place, so these Brontosaurus that grow to six meters long still have pale cyan skin.
Saleen also didn't know the Thunder Dragon's habits, and he didn't find any useful information in his many magic notes. It was only recently that Saleen discovered that the Thunder Dragon not only eats meat, but also likes to eat the hard shells of the demonic beasts in the sea. He used to peel out the meat and feed it, but recently he started to let the brontosaurus eat it whole.
Now the skin of these brontosaurus has a faint silver in the pale cyan. Salin knew that if there was less substance to absorb during the growth of the Brontosaurus, it would be extremely detrimental to the development of the Brontosaurus.
For this, Saleen had to organize a hunt, and it was to go to the Frozen Sea.
Teasing the Brontosaurus, Salin kept releasing one by one the shields of water ripples, and the shields he released were only the size of his thumb, forming strings of bubbles in the water.
Salin used his spiritual power to communicate with the little thunder dragon, and the little thunder dragon released silver currents that accurately hit each water pattern shield. Each current is not too strong, but the shield of the water pattern is shattered under the current that is not too strong in the little thunder dragon.
Demon Breaker Effect. This is where the Brontosaurus current comes in. Saleen's Eye of Thunder has this effect. It's just that Salin's body is not as strong as the thunder dragon, and the current released barely reaches ten meters from the attack distance.
The attack from a distance of ten meters is another demon-breaking effect, which is a little too close for a magician. Salin thought about it, his Eye of Thunder did not continue to advance, and the attack effect was not more than fifty meters, so he could only use it for the time being. And these thunder dragons, even now, have the possibility of helping themselves in battle. Of course, the battle had to take place in the water.
Twenty-four thunder dragons, launching an electric current attack at the same time, even the defensive magic of a ninth-level demonic beast will be completely destroyed.
Now that Salin has set aside a period of time every day to train the Thunder Dragon to cooperate with himself, these twenty-four Thunder Dragons have already taken on a bit of a look, and the target that Salin wants to attack can be keenly captured by the Thunder Dragon almost at the same time. This is equivalent to Saleen having an instantaneous electric attack.
If only the brontosaurus could get out of the water. Salin stroked the golden pattern on the thunder dragon's body with his hand, thinking regretfully. The little brontosaurus affectionately coiled his body around Salin's body. Saleen felt the implicit current.
"Hey, I can't force it. Salin sighed and took the brontosaurus back into the goddess's necklace. Estimated, it's already noon. After dinner, he had to learn from Narnia some ways to exercise magic in his life, which Salin would also pass on to his Shreig mage in the future. In the evening, I made an appointment with Elenor to learn elven skills with Neris.
He's going to learn elven magic, and Nellis is learning archery.
Erin Noken taught this, showing that she would not be an enemy of Saleen in the future, even if she had to leave. The skills of the elves are almost extinct in the Myers Continent. Elenor's royal archery. There is also elven magic, which is quite practical and meaningful.
In addition to Nania, Rex also left a group of mages to Sareen, and these mages are actually Rex's followers, and if something happens to Kushui County, she can also have a group of mages to make a comeback.
In this way, day after day, Salin practiced day and night. At the beginning of June, news came from the border that Rex's army had met the Papal Expeditionary Force. Rex left behind 20,000 people, of which only 5,000 were her swordsman battalions, and the rest were auxiliary units with relatively weak combat effectiveness.
Rex's army of 20,000, three contacts, three routs. There were not many casualties, but three towns were lost. On the defensive against the offensive, the 20,000 army is still no match for the 100,000 army.
As for the small number of soldiers lost, it was the intelligence received from Salin. Rex's army did not fight hard, and after exhausting a certain amount of the enemy's strength, he could not do anything, so he retreated.
The Holy See Expeditionary Force entered Phoenix from the Rhine border, sticking to the west of Phoenix and heading north. There were no decent cities along the way, and the defense of small towns could not stop the advance of the expeditionary force.
The news brought by the carrier pigeon frightened Saleen more and more every time. His own 6th Battalion was constantly harassing the supply routes behind the expeditionary force. However, his own damage was not small, more than 10,000 people were sent out, and more than 1,000 losses were lost in more than ten days of fighting. There were still more than 3,000 wounded, so they had to leave the battlefield, otherwise those wounded would not be able to survive.
When the expeditionary force left the Principality of Divine Grace, it numbered about 160,000, of which 125,000 were combat troops and nearly 40,000 were in charge of logistics. Fighting until now, the logistics units of the expeditionary forces are almost dead, but regular troops. Less than 10,000 people were lost.
The reason why his troops were able to run away from so many wounded was because of the covert help of Judy Koko, who summoned a large number of skeleton horses. From the point of view of intelligence, the expeditionary forces of the Holy See were very powerful, although they were not regular troops who had been trained all the time, but their morale was terrible, and the greatest casualties were inflicted on the people of Salin by the logistics troops who were attacked.
These logistics troops are not afraid of death, and when they die in battle, they even have a smile on their faces.
Only then did Salin know why the Holy See was so terrible. This demagogic power is more useful than any kind of magic. As long as the believers are told that they will enter the kingdom of heaven after dying in battle, these believers don't care who is fighting them or whether they can be defeated or not.
In the Expeditionary Force, contrary to Saleen's imagination, there are still a large number of magicians. With these magicians, the soldiers of the Holy See army will soon be able to get up and fight again as long as they do not die. Although healing magic can shorten the life span of humans, it is really fast and effective, and it is stronger than magic.
Magic healing, will improve the physique, there is no trouble, but the healing speed is too bad. On the battlefield, the speed of recovery of this soldier has a great impact on morale.
The Papal Expeditionary Force charged through Phoenix, then headed east, killing the city of Metatrin. Salin felt that this time he had underestimated the enemy, and he actually tried to use an army that had only been formed for a few months to attack a group of crazy people who were not afraid of death at all.
The speed of the nobles in the city to collect troops is still not fast enough, according to the speed of the Holy See's march, these thousands of miles can be reached within a month.
With 50,000 troops stationed in Xizhen, can it really stop this group of madmen? Damn Faka, he didn't provide who the core force of this expeditionary force was. How many magicians are there?
There are more than 100 million believers in the Holy See, and if everyone can fight like this, how can they be completely wiped out?
"Call Daniel, I'm going to give those nobles equipment. Salin said helplessly to Lola. He asked the nobles to raise an army of 40,000 men, and he couldn't let these armies run out. It's definitely too late to train now, so we can only issue some more advanced equipment to minimize casualties.
