Chapter 345: Duke Balde (II)

A young female mage behind Tiffany snorted. Laughing, the female mage, dressed in a white robe and also on a horse, looked like a student of Tiffany's. But when she smiled rudely, Tiffany didn't react, let alone scold.

"Salin did the right thing. Tiffany replied coldly, Elaine's heart happy.

If she hadn't followed Saleen, she couldn't have been so frivolous in front of Balder. The difference in status between the two sides is too great, and the Grand Duke of the Lower House of Holy Rock City is ten million times stronger than her, a woman from the Earl's family who has no right to inherit. But now, she is also a duke, although she is a duke with no land and less than a thousand soldiers.

Hearing Tiffany's words, Balde suddenly realized that that Salin was a great magician, and he would offend the magician behind him by letting him go out of the city to greet him!

But Elaine's attitude made him very angry. He was so angry that he couldn't have a seizure, which made Balder's face red. It was cold for a while.

"Please come with me. Elaine whispered, and then lifted the reins, turned the horse's head, and went on her own. This Balder couldn't help but follow, and if he turned back to Holy Rock, Sephiroth would be able to skin him.

Fortunately, he was not really a waste, so he suppressed his anger in an instant, waved his hand, and led the team of envoys to follow Elaine's welcoming procession.

It was also embarrassing to greet the team, originally Salin also prepared a guard of honor with a band to accompany him, but now the two sides collided and simply canceled the ceremony.

Balde's team consisted of 3,000 soldiers, and the army escorted by Guderian had been turned back, and with the addition of the envoys, Balde's army reached 4,000 men.

This is very rare, and a group of envoys, in peacetime, can have 500 people, which is considered huge. Phoenix is not peaceful, and Holy Rock has to be cautious. There were quite a few thieves along the way, and if they really only sent 500 people, the magicians would be busy to death.

The greeting procession that Elaine brought with her was also the number of a whole flag regiment, with a thousand people. However, of these 1,000 people, 600 were honor guards. Window dressing. These people don't want to be strong, every soldier of the honor guard is plump, tall and straight, and the cultivation of swordsmanship is not taken into account at all, as long as you are handsome and mighty enough, you can be selected.

The remaining 400 people are from the palace swordsman battalion. This is Saleen's newly formed team, which is basically Caucasians, and all of them are also fierce and brave. Balder was observing the soldiers of the palace swordsman battalion, who was also at the level of a mid-level swordsman, and at first glance, he also had a somewhat different opinion of the soldiers in Metatrin City.

These four hundred men were carefully selected, all riding demon wolves and carrying spears. The Caucasian spear was not the main battle weapon, but it was used for throwing. The javelin can't compare to the alchemy crossbow at any distance, but this kind of weapon between a javelin and a spear is perfect for group fights.

Gun weapons, armor piercing is always stronger than a knife. A peasant soldier can pierce the heavy armor of a soldier with a spear. With a knife, even leather armor may not be able to cut through fatal wounds.

These Caucasians, Salin, specially equipped with a variety of weapons, went out of the city to greet the people, did not dress according to the field army, and each one wore gorgeous armor.

Balde was not deceived, and when he calmed down, he realized that the team of four hundred men was not simple. Balde was strange, if Saleen wanted to hide his strength, he didn't have to send such a strong soldier, and if it was for the sake of publicity, he should change the soldier into a good armor.

His mind was confused, and he fell into Salin's hands. Balde focused his thoughts on Saleen's army, and certainly didn't think about anything else.

The strongest in Saleen is, in fact, the navy. A dragon wreck battleship made it impossible for the warships of Alchemy City to overcome the sea defense of the first line of Castlevania. The Bone Battleship and the Iwaki Alchemy Ship formed Saleen's powerful navy. Saleen did not invest a lot of supplies at sea, because they were all handled by the Winged Skeletons, and were not shown in the financial expenditures of Metatrin City.

Every time the Wing Skeleton goes to sea, it has to intercept a certain amount of materials, which are put into the navy, and the number of warships in Saleen has exceeded twenty now, because the operators are all undead, and they all rely on the Wing Skeleton to support it alone. The daily consumption of magic cores is also a large amount, so Saleen didn't ask how much the winged skeleton had kept.

In the future, if Salin starts a war with the Qin Yin Empire, he will definitely start from Lianyun City, instead of crossing Phoenix and attacking Guderian City. Although Guderian City is not as good as Metatrin City, it is also an insurmountable barrier. Saleen vividly remembers the majestic metal towers of Guderian. This completely discouraged him from attacking on land.

If Rex can't control Qin Yin in the future, then there will be a battle between Salin and Qin Yin.

To paralyze the enemy, start now.

For Salin, the best outcome is for Rex to take control of the Qin Yin Empire, so that the belief of the goddess can be spread, and then use Qin Yin as the foundation to attack the entire continent. If Rex can't control Qin Yin, then Salin will have to fight with Rex on both sides.

Bald's envoys followed Elaine's troops, bypassing Westtown and marching towards the city of Metatrine. As he passed south of Westtown, Balder was completely shocked, as was Archmage Tiffany's.

To the east of Westtown, stands a ten-story magic tower!

Balde's mind was completely messed up, the ten-story magic tower, that is, it was provoking the gods. Although most magicians have this idea, due to the agreement of the mainland thousands of years ago, in Qin Yin, the highest magic tower is always nine-story, and even Alchemy City is no exception. The Kingdom of Metatrin City has built a ten-story magic tower, so it's no wonder that the Holy See wants to send an expeditionary force alone. to conquer this little kingdom.

Elaine is not very shallow, she can have the courage to separate from the family, which has already proved what kind of young person she is, but Balde's reaction also made her very proud.

The four dukes are already tied to the kingdom of Metatrin, and the higher Saleen's achievements, the higher the four of them. For Salin, she is not without thoughts, but unfortunately, the women around Saleen are all outstanding. I didn't see Saleen do anything. Elaine knew that Saleen was not someone who could be impressed by women.

Fortunately, he withdrew early, and it was not bad to be a founding duke.

Four hundred palace swordsmen rode demon wolves, scattered into small teams to open the way in front, although this place has been developed by Salin, but there are still forests on both sides of the road, and demonic beasts are frequent. Large demonic beasts have retreated to the mountains, and there are still many small demonic beasts. Most of the demonic beasts are intelligent, and when they see the human infestation of the brigade, they rarely dare to attack. But there are fools in human beings, and there are also guys in Warcraft who don't know the depths.

There is still a distance of fifty miles on this road, and it will take at least more than two hours to walk. In more than two hours, the team was attacked at least a dozen times. The attacking monsters are of a single breed, and they are all first-level berserk boars.

The Caucasian warriors were simply able to capture this kind of first-level wild boar, and the demon wolf under the crotch released a demonic beast to deter, and the wild boar was suppressed at the level, and then with a stab of the spear, it was completely done. The first-level magic core is also a gold coin, and the Caucasian warrior used a short axe to cut off the head of the wild boar, took out the magic core, and put it in the leather bag he carried with him, so as not to delay the speed of progress.

While Balder was still shocked by the ten-story magic tower, Tiffany and the sorceress beside her whispered to her.

"Stephanie, this Salin is a bit wicked. ”

The white-robed female mage smiled and said, "If you don't have a way, how can you let the Holy See army be wiped out." ”

"In the tenth-story magic tower, it won't be a ninth-level magician, right?"

"You still don't know? Metatrin City has invited two ninth-level magicians from the Principality of the Rhine, and the Red Tiger Mercenary Group is no longer worthy of the title of Ninth-level Mercenary Group. "Stephanie's attitude as a white-robed mage team Tiffany Magus doesn't seem to be respectful at all, and the two of them are communicating on an equal footing.

"I know, but I can't believe it, why would a ninth-level magician give a ...... What does a little fifth-level mage do?" Tiffany's information was not well-informed, and she didn't know that Saleen was already a sixth-level mage.

"Tiffany, you've been short of money since you were a child. Of course, I don't understand the hardships of the poor mage. These two ninth-level magicians are arrogant and can't rob, and if Saleen offers a good price, they will be obedient. Didn't you see, Saleen built a ten-story magic tower for these two guys, and replaced it with Holy Rock City, are you willing to do this?"

"I'm afraid not. Tiffany shook his head. Although Holy Rock City has already started a war with the Tanggulas Empire, this kind of thing that violates the agreement back then, Holy Rock City does not dare to do it. Otherwise, it will be difficult to communicate with Yunliu and Skocinnya, and it is very unwise to have two more unnecessary enemies.

"It's you and me, and I'm also dissatisfied with the agreement made a thousand years ago, if Salin does this, there will be a lot of Qin Yin mages who will come to defect, this guy is very smart, what is it to offend the Holy See, anyway, there is the Qin Yin Empire on top, and he just takes the opportunity to develop. Stephanie spoke, her white magic robe swaying in the wind like a blooming lotus flower.

Balder didn't hear the mage's conversation, and even if he was a duke, he wouldn't mess with an eighth-level mage. He rode a war horse, and he was already walking side by side with Elaine, in the martial Qin Yin, this was very common, if it was in the clouds, red tape would make a person who was not familiar with the rules tired to death.

"Your Excellency Elaine, just now, I was rude. Balde suddenly apologized, and Elaine turned sideways, glanced at Balde, and smiled. Her smile was charming, not intentional.

"Your Excellency......"

"Duke, it's good if you call me Elaine, you are a first-class duke, I am a third-class duke, there is too much difference. Elaine saw that Balde was soft, and she didn't care about the embarrassment at the beginning. Saleen's order was not to let Balde's arrogance hold her down.
