Chapter 223: Rex's Plan (Part I)
Chapter 223: Rex's Plan (Part I)
[I originally wanted to watch three more, but it was too late. If you write it again, you won't see it. Let's wait until the afternoon. Rex is back, I won't continue to write about any war scenes, people are together, continue to take risks, sorry, recently because of things in life, it has affected the writing, and the speed has slowed down, I strive for the third watch, all the three watches in the future, are not counted as additional changes, and the fourth watch is not considered an outbreak, and I will not ask for votes]
It wasn't until mid-April that Saleen's constant patrols spotted Rex's striker. Rex's team was too big and it was winter, so she had to slow down to avoid unnecessary casualties.
Knowing that Daniel and the others had joined Rex, Salin did not send anyone to pick him up.
In Rex's army, Juan said to Rex very dissatisfied: "That Salin, why didn't you send someone to pick you up? β
Juan had little to say about Saline's elevated status. After all, others advance faster than themselves. But that Saleen doesn't even seem to even pay attention to Rex now. Rex had come all the way with a large number of men, and he was waiting in the city.
"Juan, we are magicians. Rex said lightly.
Saleen's ability to send someone to the border to pick her up is enough to explain Saleen's position, as for whether to go out of the city to pick her up, it is a matter of aristocrats, although Juan is also a great magician now, but he still can't get rid of some of his aristocratic thoughts.
Because there were too many people, and most of them were not soldiers, Rex's team was divided into several parts, and the most leading was the cavalry of a flag regiment.
The leader of the cavalry is Tinis, whom Salin knows, and he now commands a banner regiment of 1,000 people, and his strength also faintly has the feeling of a sword master. After making contact with Salin's patrol soldiers, he was taken out of the city.
The white city wall stretches for several miles, more than 20 meters high, and the head of the city is obviously not yet completed. On the plains, this is already a majestic pass, not to mention the nearby terrain is towering on both sides, and the city is stuck in the fracture of the mountain range, and the location is very ideal.
To the west is the main gate, a huge gate wrapped in white steel. The gate, which is more than eight meters high, is completely wrapped in white steel, and this layer of white steel has been magically treated, so it is not reflective, but integrated with the white city wall. Magical patterns are etched into the white steel. It doesn't seem so cold.
Above the city gate, there is a horizontal piece of white stone, on which is inscribed a line in the Old Merces language - Metatrin City.
"Metatrin?" Tinis chuckled softly as the corners of his mouth curled. He didn't know what deal Salin had with Rex, and Rex didn't tell him about God's punishment of hell. However, he knew that Rex and Saleen were both magicians and valued the principle of fair exchange.
It's just that naming the city after his surname, it seems that this Salin has a lot of ambitions!
Originally, there was only one city named after the surname in the Qin Yin Empire, and that was the city of Grukos, which was more than four hundred miles south of the Holy Rock City. It was a royal fiefdom, and as long as the Qin Yin Empire remained, it would always be the private property of GrΓΌkos.
I don't know what His Highness will think when he sees it.
Tinis just smiled generously, the city gate was not closed, but there were chains behind it, someone had already come out to greet him, but it was a low-level mage, and after symbolically checking Tinis's badge, a soldier behind him opened the chain. Pull the gates open completely.
Tinis saw that the wall near the gate, which was partially empty, had a winch inside. This huge city gate wrapped in white steel must weigh more than tens of thousands of catties, and it is difficult to break through with a battering ram.
Moreover, the thickness of the city wall is more than twelve meters, and there will definitely be devices such as broken dragon stones, or hidden magic arrays. The city is not yet built, but it already has the standards of a fortress.
It's just that the number of soldiers at the head of the city is too pitiful, less than a hundred people, gathered at the main gate, looking down. It seems that the quality is also very average, and when he is standing guard, the emperor comes to the door, and he should not do such an action.
Tinis guessed right, the city's head Salin had concentrated most of his forces in the city center and the harbor, and this side was only newly trained barbarians, and each brigade could only be commanded by one swordsman from Shrig Island. It is difficult to make these barbarians disciplined, they are far inferior to the Caucasians. The Caucasians have become accustomed to strict discipline and are naturally suitable for being a soldier.
Fortunately, in addition to the giant trees left behind after the felling, there are many open places in the city, and Rex's people are entering the city one after another, and they can also use tents to shelter.
Because the city was not really up and running, Rex and his party were taken directly to the city hall and temporarily settled.
Salin realized that enough food was prepared, heated uniformly, and distributed. Because there were ten times more people than expected, there was obviously not enough food, so he had to take care of Rex's swordsman camp first.
The construction of Rex (3) Z to Metatrin City is progressing slowly. But she is not in a hurry, she likes the style of this city very much, and the foundation is very strong, all the roads, underground facilities, there are traces of magic reinforcement. A large number of trees have been left in the city, and in some places they have been left as gardens.
Rex was now hugging back and forth, with nearly a hundred magicians around him, and Salin greeted him with a smile and greeted, "Your Highness, how are you doing lately?"
The magicians who didn't know Saleen were secretly smacking their tongues, even if Rex was not the king of the county, he was also a sixth-level magician, and Saleen's attitude was a little contemptuous.
"How can you be idle. As soon as Rex saw Saleen, he didn't know why, and immediately relaxed. She rejoiced when she saw that Saleen had laid the foundations of the city extremely strong. After all, this city is for the purpose of hiding the dimensional teleportation array, and only by building a city full of traces of magic can it hide the strong elemental fluctuations emitted during teleportation.
"It's been a long time since you guys. Salin looked at the mages beside Rex, several of whom he had met when he lived in the county lord's mansion, and the relationship was not bad at that time.
Juan sees Sarin. A trace of dissatisfaction in my heart disappeared. Saleen gave him a sense of superiority, but it was not something that could be done by pretending. That was a kind of majesty that Salin had been in charge of a city for more than half a year, mobilizing nearly 10,000 people, and had formed invisibly.
"Rest here, I have something to talk to Salin. Rex didn't say hello either, and under the surprised gazes of everyone, he and Saleen left the town hall.
"Your Highness, what are you anxious about?" Salin calmly accompanied Rex. The pressure at the time of the first meeting with Rex was long gone.
"Forget it, there are no outsiders anymore, you might as well call me Rex. β
"Hmm. Rex, how's Bitterwater?"
"It's bad, there's a war going on in the west, and those two secret passages are useless. The east side is blocked by the Holy Rock City, and the north side, there are armies coming and going. A large number of northern nobles brought back soldiers from Garolan, and Garudan has now lost most of it. Kushui County has no business to do at all, so it can only eat its old capital. Fortunately, I have collected the surrounding cities and land, and I can no longer buy food outside.
"It's okay, Kushui County is geographically remote, although it is not suitable for development, but it is easy to guard, as long as food is not a problem, it is ......"
"I won't let the Tangulas set foot on the land of Qinyin. Rex interrupted Saleen.
"Well, I'm in the same trouble right now, there's a war going on in the north, and I can't go by land or sea. I was going to get a tunnel in Phoenix that would go straight to Skocina. β
"It's not impossible, I'll solve the matter of Skochenya, I have to get the passage on this road, otherwise here and Kushui County can only rely on the teleportation array to contact, we can't afford to consume it." β
"The sea is the worst, after all, the road on land is far away, and by sea, we could have reached Lianyun City quickly......"
"When will you be able to send someone to that Shrig Island?"
"How do I know that before this, we will not be able to deal with the expeditionary forces of the countries of the East China Sea. They have three hundred warships, and I have lost one now, and I still have three large ships in my hands, one ......" Saleen did not say the Turtle Alchemy Ship, Rex already understood.
In the plaza in front of the temple, Sika oversees the training of her guards. These selected Caucasian warriors were all replaced with magical armor made by Saleen, because these armors were not made by one person. It looked a little rough, but Rex could tell at a glance that the material of these armors was too good. It was all polished from the carapace of the Warcraft.
In terms of attacking magic, the carapace and skin of Warcraft have similar effects, but when dealing with physical attacks, it is better to deal with equipment polished by carapaces. These carapaces are actually stronger than steel, and in addition to being difficult to repair, they are no different from metal armor in terms of defensive properties, and are lighter.
Even the Royal Swordsman Battalion in Holy Rock City only dressed officers in such armor.
"Salin, where did you get these materials? Did you buy them from the Alchemy City?"
Salin smiled and told Elaine about it, and Rex said, "You're so good that you cheated on a girl." β
"I didn't lie to her, I won't give half a point less for the benefits that should be given to her. β
"That's right, this kind of family comes out and pays more attention to interests. Rex didn't blame Salin, Sareen and Elaine could be said to take what they needed. Elaine must also know the relationship between Saleen and herself, and her defection to Saleen's forces is actually related to herself.
Since the root cause is interests, it would be a bit silly to talk about feelings again.
Shika greeted Rex from afar and continued to train her guards, she was now enthusiastic about the matter, those Caucasian warriors were obviously obedient to her, and even a few guys began to learn the cultivation of sword qi from Zola.
Seeing these Caucasian warriors, Rex nodded with satisfaction. The quality of these Caucasian and those soldiers in the west of the city is noticeably different, not only in terms of discipline, but also several times more skillful. Basically, everyone has the strength of a swordsman, which has surpassed her swordsman battalion.
"I'll take you to see a place. "Saleen mysteriously took Rex to his room, in the teleportation array at close range.
The two of them soon appeared in Saleen's underground warehouse, and Rex found that it was almost a completely enclosed space, and any elemental fluctuations in the space were difficult for the outside world to detect. If all the magic towers in Metatrin were operational, there would be no chance of being found here.
"How did you do that!" Rex was surprised for the first time.
