Chapter 676: Not Giving Up an Inch of Land (Part II)
What Saleen did was indeed crazy and dangerous, and Raphael couldn't dissuade him, so he had to let Saleen do it.
The Floating City continued to fly towards the City of Nature, and at this time, the information from all sides had been gathered, and the army of the Holy See had indeed reached Qin Yin's border.
It's just that on the side of the Qin Yin Empire, Rex has just become emperor, and his morale has improved a lot, and the northern nobles have many natural gods who are attached to Salin, not to mention magicians in their hands, and there are also magicians from the natural god cult in charge.
The healing ability of the theorcerers of the Cult of Nature has surpassed that of the theorcerers of the Holy See, and the situation on the battlefield is stalemate on the border. Saleen immediately ordered the troops on the border to retreat as far back as possible.
Because the purpose of the Holy See this time is to destroy the country.
Salin had a hunch that the Holy See's preparations were more adequate than the previous ones, and now it was only the vanguard that was attacking on the border, and if the border could not be torn apart, then a powerful magician would be sent to crush the most elite army on the border.
Such a sacrifice was not worth it, and Salin told the elite army to retreat to the area where the City of Nature could shelter, and not to fight hard with the Holy See army.
After giving the order to withdraw the troops, Salin began to prepare to send equipment to the front line, mostly one-off, such as low-quality alchemy arrows and low-level magic scrolls.
The damage to the Holy See army is also very large, but the cost is small. In fact, if there is no strong person appearing, these disposable equipment are often easy to determine the outcome of a battle.
After dropping some of the demon legions halfway through, Saleen's floating city turned to the border to meet the retreating armies. More than eight hundred miles from the border, the Floating City stopped.
There were already nearly 80,000 Qin Yin troops below, and they were withdrawing from the border side. The warriors of these armies are considered veterans, because of the erosion of the north and the displacement of the nobility, these armies were absorbed by Salin and incorporated into the Knights of the Temple of Nature, but they were not knights, but vassals of the Knights.
With such an army, Salin subdued almost 300,000 troops in the north. Some of the original nobles died in battle, and some escaped, and these professional armies were cheaper than Salin.
These elite soldiers, but their skills outside of combat are average, and farming is not as good as that of farmers. Doing business is not as good as being a mercenary, and even being a mercenary is not as good as a professional mercenary. Their only purpose is to go into battle and kill their enemies.
Moreover, these Qin Yin people will not surrender, if the army is broken up and no one collects them, these troops will become bandits in the area occupied by the enemy, and destroy everything of the enemy as much as possible.
These armies now have Cult theorists in their armies, and Saleen is easy to contact. Summoning the magicians to the Floating City, Salin inquired about the battle, and the battle was not too fierce.
Qin Yin's border was originally divided according to the terrain, and there were not many places that could be attacked, but the fortresses on the border were rebuilt when the Tangulas came over last time, and they were very strong.
The Holy See's army had less than 300,000 men in the front, but there were more than 100,000 blood knights. Once these Blood Knights entered Qin Yin's Plains region, they would exert great strength.
Now there is no such worry, in the plains, these blood knights can't escape the pursuit of Salin Floating City.
Salin told the magicians to return to the army and relax. The main force of the Holy See is still gathering in the Principality of Divine Grace, and it will take at least half a month to pass through Garulan.
There will be no problem with these armies subdued by themselves, and even those stragglers may not be too dangerous.
The way the Holy See advances is to take it step by step, and as long as you retreat, you will not be hunted down. Salin pondered for a moment, now that he occupies the west of Qinyin's north, he will inevitably have a conflict with the Holy See, and now Rex is afraid that he is unhappy with the Golden Plain, should he advance or retreat?
If you block it here, you will have to wait until the Holy See army arrives, and this vanguard will not move towards Qin Yin's territory, and it will take a lot of time. If you wait here, you will take over the heavy responsibility of the war.
If you retreat by yourself, it will be time for the Golden Plains to send troops.
Let's defend the city of nature, solve the problem of the two children first, and then talk about how to deal with the Golden Plains in the future. Thinking of this, Salin stopped the Floating City from advancing, and urged the army below to move closer to the City of Nature.
Salin made up his mind that this time he would not fight with the Holy See for anything, he would find his children again.
However, he was not completely unprepared, and on the way to the northern plains, there were still several passes, all of which were relatively wide mountain passes, where it was impossible to completely block the enemy's path, but it was possible to set up ambushes.
In these three places, Salin left behind an army of 30,000 insect angels, and these insect angel warriors are all small demons. In the armor of the Worm Angel, the little demon fell into a deep sleep and was buried on the hillside. After the demon fell into a deep sleep, it had almost no life characteristics, and outside the armor of the insect angel, it was refined by Saleen into a layer of purified black vortex golden crystals, this golden crystal is a non-attribute substance, covering all the breath in the armor of the insect angel.
If these 30,000 insect angel warriors were not summoned, they would not wake up within a year, and being arranged here by Sarin could be regarded as a foreshadowing. This is already the most elite warrior that Saleen can mobilize, and these 30,000 sets of Worm Angel armor are also the latest and last batch he has refined.
After that, he will refine the Tainted Blood Armor, which will be used exclusively by human warriors and demons.
After doing this, Salin still felt that it was not enough, and sent people to pack the equipment that his army had replaced, and gave it to the Qin Yin Legion who were fighting on the border.
These equipment are not bad, but Salin has refined new equipment, and he must begin to unify the configuration of his army, and all kinds of weapons that were messy in the past must be recycled, which is conducive to improving the combat effectiveness of the army.
If these equipment are sent out, the combat effectiveness of several legions on the border of Qin Yin will be greatly improved, and it is good for the Holy See to lose more manpower. The value of the equipment that Saleen gave away casually was very huge. It's just that Saleen is not short of materials now, and these things also waste a lot of mage time because they want to destroy recycled materials, so Saleen is so generous.
He didn't expect that because of this move, his reputation in Qin Yin's army would improve. The soldiers all knew that His Royal Highness Prince Rex had given out a large amount of high-end equipment for free, not only for no money, but also to allow these soldiers to write their names on the equipment after the war was over, as a family inheritance item.
Although magic equipment is not rare at all in Qin Yin, the equipment made by Kesarin is too expensive for soldiers. A soldier, if he relied on himself, would not be able to muster such a suit of armor and a full seven pieces of standard equipment.
In order to increase the number of casualties among the Holy See troops, Salin even sent a large number of first-level scrolls.
These scrolls were left behind when the magic apprentice advanced to a full-fledged mage. There were too many third- and fourth-level scrolls in Salin's hands, and all of these first-level scrolls were accumulated when they were not used on the battlefield. Salin gave away more than 50,000 at a time, which are all scrolls that can be used by magic apprentices, and in Qin Yin's army, not only magicians can unfold.
Level 1 magic is much more powerful than crossbow arrows at close range. At the beginning, Salin was able to pierce a deep hole in the hard stone wall with a first-level ice pick technique, fight each other on the battlefield, and be hit by first-level magic at close range, but it is an extremely dangerous thing, without magic armor, it is almost dead, even if there is magic armor, the armor of ordinary soldiers, there is no fully enclosed type, and if you hit the weakness, it is still a death.
On the battlefield, a minor injury is fatal, so this level of scroll is extremely popular.
Salin didn't know that his method had bought people's hearts, and after he had done this, the demon controllers had already calculated the data of the spatial channel and were testing it.
The process of this inspection is also very complicated, which is equivalent to simulating a spatial channel, and then using Saleen as a complete data to check to see if Salen will be decomposed into elemental particles after entering the space channel.
If so, the data will need to be re-modified, or even a new spatial channel will need to be calculated.
This part was the most intense, and all the Demon Charmers put down all their work to calculate this for Sareen. Salin himself joined the calculations, but he used astrology.
The results of the astrology are still vague, and Saleen cannot see fate.
Even so, Saleen was determined to go to the half-plane. Because this result is exactly the same as the result he calculated for two children.
If it meant death, Saleen wouldn't mind taking a death tour.
Tens of millions of data flowed through the simulated image, and a virtual figure of Salen passed through the spatial channel, and when it was about to leave, the image of the spatial channel shook and disappeared.
"How" is a big demon who presides over the calculation, among this demon controller, there are few big demons, these big demons are all at the peak of their spiritual power, and there is no aftermath if they can release tenth-level magic.
Salin looked at the dissipated image and said, "People can pass, but after passing, this spatial passage is almost useless." ”
The great demon had put his net worth and life on Salin, and he cautiously asked, "Your Highness, will you be in danger?"
"I can't die, at most I can't come back for the time being. ”
The Great Demon was speechless, and Salin patted Neris, who was waiting for the result, and said, "I'll go to the half-plane and take Raphael with me." Only two people can pass, and the metal angel can't slack off. You...... You will know if I am safe, if I die, the floating city will be yours from now on, you will take the demon with you, and if you have the chance, you will kill back to the demon plane and become your demon god. If I hadn't died......"
Before Salin could finish her words, Neris had already burst out crying, and her tears were spurting far away.
Salin smiled, wiped away her tears for Neris, and continued, "I mean, if I don't die, in case it is difficult to come back, you don't go to Holy Rock City in person, send a reassuring demon over, find Rex, ask her, if you will give up everything, come and save me and Sika." ”
