Chapter 460: The Situation of Lone Star City (Part II)
[The second watch, there are two more, just vote for a few votes, February is a good month, give everyone a good New Year]
Nicholas knocked on Sarin's hatch, and on this ship, only the magician's room was closed. In addition to the group of people who went to the Frozen Sea, the Dragonwreck Battleship was supplemented with more than 400 demons. The current dragon wreck battleship is finally fully operational.
"Nicholas, come in. The door to Salin's room opened, and Nicholas stepped in, seeing a huge cloud of water floating in front of Salin. Every time he saw this Shui Yan, Nicholas felt a little frightened. This thing is too dangerous to touch on his body, and a lower-level warrior who gets close to Saleen will not pose any threat to him.
In Sarin's room, there were only two Caucasian warriors, and none of the soldiers stayed around, and when they saw Nicholas coming in, the two Caucasian warriors also bowed and withdrew.
"Lord ......"
"Nicholas, you ask about Lone Star City?" Saleen continued to refine his Eternal Control Fragments, he now only refined one at a time, he had enough mental power, and he could still chat with Nicholas.
"Yes, my lord, are you really not worried about His Highness Rex?" asked Nicholas as he tried to soften his tone.
"What's there to worry about, Aini, he is an eighth-level necromancer, hey, if you defend the city, unless the Holy See sends a large number of magicians, you can break through Lone Star City. You say, what is the Holy See busy with right now?"
"Of course, I want to break through Qin Yin's frontal defense line, Qin Yin has a war puppet, and he has to avoid the war puppet, otherwise he will suffer heavy losses. ”
"So, it's hard for the Skocians to get support from the Holy See, don't look at their alliance, it's the same. The location of the war puppet is the northernmost lane of Qinyin, and the Holy See wants to attack in the middle of Qinyin, even to the south. Any three-front battle is a lie. ”
"But my lord, the Scochenians have a million troops, and Lone Star City is not Metatrin City. ”
"So, Nicholas, what do you say is the best thing for me to do?"
"Of course, it is to march into Lone Star City with all its might, and with the power that the Lord has in his hands now, the army of the Scochenians is vulnerable. As long as Metatrin City is defended, Lord Jason will lead the magicians to garrison it, and even if the Yunliu fleet attacks on a large scale, it will not be able to defeat it. Then let His Highness Rex echo the Great Liang City, flank the north and south, and destroy the offensive of the Tangulas Empire. Nicholas said in one breath.
"Tactically, there's nothing wrong with that. However, the plan I made with Aini was to defend Lone Star City. Saleen's gaze was awe-inspiring, and he glanced at Nicholas.
Nicholas's heart suddenly froze, and Saleen's words seemed to be a flash of lightning in his mind, illuminating all the dark corners with great clarity.
Salin nodded slowly and said, "Nicholas, strategically, we shouldn't help Qin Yin. ”
At this time, Nicholas was shocked by Salin's ruthlessness. In his heart, Salin had already decided to give up the Qin Yin Empire. Yes, if there is no Holy See, what reason does Salin have to attack Qin Yin? But the Qin Yin Empire also has a share of Rex!
"Holy Rock City refuses to help us, it's not a day or two. This time Alchemy City is still causing trouble for us, Nicholas, you can't blindly pay as a man, and if Saint Rock City wants to get something, you must pay the same price. Salin said lightly, each word like a sledgehammer, striking on Nicholas's heart.
Even if Salin solves the Iron and Blood Grand Duke, he will not kill Garolan as he said. It turned out that Salin did not have this power, but now it is because Salin's power is enough to influence the situation on the mainland.
Using the power of the Holy See, destroying Qin Yin, and then justifiably recovering Qin Yin's land and putting it under the name of Rex, this is Salin's plan. As long as the northern part of Qin Yin is occupied, at least half of the nobles in the southern part of Qin Yin will correspond to Rex and become part of the Kushui County.
No, it wasn't a county then, it was an empire. All that Holy Rock can control is a sprawling ancient city, which can no longer pose any threat to the kingdom of Saleen. Salin holds the six-winged serpent sigil, and the power of the Grykos family will acquiesce to Rex's approach.
It's possible that Saleen had already decided this when he got the Serapus Flying Snake Seal.
"Nicholas, Lone Star City is a nail, and the Skocians can't pull it out anyway. Neris went with twenty-four ancient warriors, enough to hold the city. With Lone Star City there, at least a million troops can be contained, whoever wants to attack the Metatrin Kingdom must take the road of Phoenix, and I will continue to strengthen the defense line around Mars City, no, I will annex Phoenix and make it a part of the Metatrin Kingdom!"
Saleen's ambitions were revealed, and Nicholas had no more doubts. He just said softly: "Lord, His Royal Highness Rex ......"
"She's smarter than me, but she can't bear to be with her brother all the time. Saleen's answer was not direct enough, and Nicholas understood that Salin was not hiding anything from him, but that Salin didn't like to say this kind of thing.
For Qin Yin's knife, sooner or later, it will be cut down, and Salin will not do it directly, he is already patient enough.
"Nicholas, you don't understand, the problem is actually with Alchemy City. Don't you think Alchemy City is too negative?" Salin saw that Nicholas's face was not good, so he told him the main points of the situation.
"No, my lord, the point is Lone Star City. This is where the road to Qin, Kalouland, the Rhine and Scochenia is controlled. Sooner or later, Alchemy City will be destroyed, and their approach is to kill themselves. Once Nicholas understood Saleen's thoughts, many of his doubts were easily solved, and his mind became much clearer.
Salin smiled and glanced at Nicholas, this old man, finally followed him with all his heart. Before that, he didn't have to worry about the matter of forming a gang.
"Nicholas, I want you to do something for me. When Saleen saw that Nicholas had returned to his heart, he told him what he thought. "I want you to make more magicians fall and become my subordinates. No, it's to be your subordinate!"
"Be my subordinate?" Nicholas was shocked.
"Nicholas, will the Fallen Magician advance to godhood?" Salin asked.
"Of course not, the gods need true faith, we just steal, although we all use the power of faith, but the principle of degrading the magician, the principle of advancement is the same as that of a magician. ”
"So, no matter how much power you build up in the future, I won't kill it. My enemies are only gods. ”
Nicholas's heart was suddenly relieved, and Saleen made it clear to him that he could now start building up his power. That's how Saleen trusts him and doesn't have to be sneaky about anything in the future, which feels good.
"Nicholas, do you know why I'm doing this?" Salin asked.
"I don't know, my lord. ”
"Faka. Salin spit out the name softly, even though he now had six rank ten elemental creature leaders on his body, he still felt a huge pressure on the name of Faka. If he himself does not advance to the tenth level, he will never be able to defeat this powerful divine envoy.
Nicholas, who had been relaxed, became nervous again. Faka, the powerful oracle, was a thorn in Nicholas's heart. At that time, he was forced to fall by Faka, who left a means of suppression in the Soul Pearl, and he couldn't resist at all.
If it weren't for Saleen breaking the hidden danger in the Soul Orb for him, he would never have been able to break free from Faka's control. That's why he hasn't been able to concentrate on following Saleen.
"Nicholas, Farka, he wants to become a god, so he must die. It's just that sooner or later I may be able to defeat him, but I can't destroy his faith, and I want you to make more people fall, just to destroy his faith. Is the Scarlet Soul Tower good?"
"Great. ”
"What does this kind of thing that has no hidden dangers mean to a magician?"
"I'm God!"
"Now let you follow Faka, are you still willing?"
"Absolutely not!"
"Well, then you're going to make more magicians fall, I'm going to make it impossible for Faka to find qualified followers!" Salin smiled. He was the first to leave Nicholas as a last resort, forced by Faka. Now he's going to make Nicholas a nightmare for Faka.
Nicholas remembered Saleen's determination to enter the frozen sea, and the pressure in his heart was relieved a lot. Faka is the biggest obstacle to his life, and if he doesn't destroy Faka, even if he has the protection of Salin, he won't be able to advance.
Salin's fleet advanced south, and on the lanes of the Kingdom of Metatling, Neris led a battalion of the Temple Legion and galloped westward. During the days when Saleen went to the Frozen Sea, Metatrin City sent a large number of necromancers and elemental mages, armed with mechanical golems, to open a straight lane.
This lane completely imitates the lane of the Qin Yin Empire, with a slightly narrower width and nine meters. The lane was westward, straight, and paved for nearly 5,000 miles before turning north. This is already a real mountain, and even if there are countless skeletons and weeping bloodstones, there is no way out.
If viewed from above, the road of the Metatrin Kingdom is in the shape of a scythe, drawing an arc between the mountains, and it is inevitable that a hole must be made in the mountain to build the road.
In such a cave, I don't know how many skeletons have been lost, and there are even some intermediate and high-level undead. By the time the Saleen had set sail, Nerice's reinforcements had already reached the north of Lone Star City.
It was a fortress in the Kingdom of Metatrin, blocking access to the city of Metatrin in a mountain. The defenders numbered only 5,000 men, but the Skochenians did not choose to attack. Because this castle was simply built with the mountain, it really can't be done, and the magicians in the castle will destroy the cave and completely block the path.
If you don't have this road, you have to go north to find a gap in the mountains, and this detour is even farther. The Skocians simply ignored it, and the defenders of this castle did not dare to attack anyway. An army of 5,000 people, in the face of an army of nearly a million, has no effect at all.
Nellis's arrival did not attract the attention of the Skocians, and her temple legion quietly settled in the castle and sent a letter to Lone Star City.
