Chapter 309: Getting on the Ship (Part 1)
Chapter 309: Get on the boat (on)
Salin's words did not cause any response, and the people in the Royal Swordsman Camp also knew in their hearts that the loss of Beizhen this time was quite large, and the people from the Prince's Mansion would definitely be angry. They were not injured and were taken back for investigation. Although they would not be convicted of it, they had a great impact on the future. It would be better to leave directly with Prince Rex's people and never come back. Anyway, this is what His Majesty meant.
What Salin and others did not expect was that Salin did not think that Salin would enter the range of the Azure Dragon Stone. The generation of the Azure Dragon Stone was too obviously harmed by the people of the Holy See. According to common sense, Salin and others had only more than 200 people, so they would rather take a long way than enter. Therefore, Salin and the people are not on the road yet.
Salin asked Fellet to help him put away the damaged metal barracks and immediately urged everyone to go on the road. All the magic arrays in the metal barracks were destroyed. If the formation arranged by the Holy See lasted for another half an hour, it would probably be up to Salin and several other magicians to face the terrifying attack in person. All the metal parts could not be disassembled long ago, so they could only be put away as a whole.
Aini released the undead war horse and the skeleton war horse. The group advanced at full speed along the road to the north until it was dawn and stopped. They bypassed two small towns along the way and had no rest at all. After Salin and others left more than 300 miles, half of the elite troops from the battalion appeared in the Qinglong Stone.
This time, there was a magician from the Holy Rock City who entered the Qinglong Stone area. The black-robed mage was surrounded by an older military general. The two of them walked into the Qinglong Stone together. Everything here was shattered, but you could still vaguely see the foundation of the city wall.
"It seems that they are all dead?" The general was wearing purple gold armor and had a powerful expression.
The magician glanced slightly and saw the big pit on the ground being smashed by the metal barracks. He bent down, picked up a piece of armor fragment, sniffed it, and said, "The Prince's envoy should not be dead. His Highness Rex has an iron chamber, such a large equipment, but she didn't expect her to let the envoy use it."
"Iron Room?"
"Well, it smells of rhenium and somron gold. The magician usually uses these two metals very carefully, but it has to be used in large quantities in the iron chamber. The iron chamber is a mobile barracks that can ensure the safety of the generals of the army. Only our Qin Yin's royal family can use them. In other empires, even if there are so many precious metals, there are not so many magicians who slowly refine and merge them."
"I heard that the princess has more than a hundred magicians under her command. Is that true?"
"It's the prince, your highness's subordinates... there are at least thousands of mages, and some mages are not under her command, but the county and the country are really in crisis, and those mages will help. So don't report on what happened today."
The general thought for a while and said, "I understand. The prince attaches great importance to his communication with His Majesty this time. His Highness has no intention of killing the envoy. We should not be troublesome."
"You understand that it's the best thing. It's the royal family's business. If you participate, you won't know how to die." The black-robed mage said to the general sternly. Seeing that the general was a little embarrassed, the black-robed mage said again: "I have known you for more than 40 years, but this is for you. The prince is not so easy to mess with. Think about it, what would happen if he offended thousands of magicians."
The general shivered for a moment. He had tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command, but if he had to offend thousands of magicians, it was not a matter of whether he could survive. Many mages would be willing to use him to do magic tests, which was the most terrifying thing.
More troops set out from Beizhen and Dongzhen to Qinglong Stone. A battalion of elite troops gradually gathered around the disappeared town, and there were also auxiliary troops with a total of 50,000. These more than 60,000 people surrounded the Qinglong Stone area and searched inch by inch to find evidence that could be left behind.
Three teleportation arrays were also established, and they reported to the Holy Rock City anytime and anywhere. A message quickly spread in the Qinyin Empire. The Holy Church created a bloody case more than 100 miles away from the Holy Rock City, killing the innocent Qinyin people, as many as 1,700 people. Then the crazy believers of the Holy Church killed more than 5,000 soldiers of the Empire and destroyed everything, trying to eliminate the evidence.
Anger spread in the Qinyin Empire. Originally, Qinyin was just a little guy who hated the Holy See, but now it’s different. The Tanggulas actually massacred civilians so close to Holy Rock City!
It is their responsibility for soldiers and nobles to fight and sacrifice for the empire, but no noble has ever issued such an order to carry out inhumane massacres.
The anger of the nobles was the same, because many of the dead were soldiers with close ties to the nobles. There were four towns around the Holy Rock City, and the soldiers in these four towns were all innocent and mostly came from the vassal families of the nobles. Officers and others were even related to the nobles but had no possibility of inheriting the title.
At the same time, there was another news circulating among the nobles. I heard that the little Majesty in the Holy Rock City was furious and wanted to launch an offensive against the Tanggulas Empire immediately. At the same time, the twelve dukes of the Holy Rock City also supported His Majesty, and even His Royal Highness supported His Majesty's idea.
Because the people of the Holy See tried to kill Prince Rex's envoy, did the conflict between the prince and the prince disappear? Some of the southern nobles who were interested in Rex's minds became active. Let them listen to Safiros, and these nobles would not be willing, but now the emperor's intention is obviously to reuse the prince and there is no barrier.
If the prince could not suppress His Majesty and allowed Prince Rex to enter the high-end of Qin Yin's power, these nobles would not mind working with Safiros.
At least one-third of the southern nobles were willing to follow Rex. The prince's ability was fully demonstrated in Kushui County. The place where the bird did not lay eggs was well managed by Rex. Although the business was average, agriculture was completely self-sufficient.
In addition, Prince Rex also has a large number of magicians following him. He is already a level 6 magician and will definitely advance to the magician. A magician's lifespan is quite long. Following Rex can guarantee his long-term interests. This is also one of the reasons why the southern nobles are willing to follow Rex.
Some people even hope that Rex can become the emperor. If Rex advances to the ninth level magician, he can live more than a thousand years old, and there will never be a situation where the emperor and the minister will be there.
Fortunately, His Majesty O'Jarvis won't live that long, and these nobles have the patience to wait. As long as the two of them do not conflict, they can compromise with Holy Rock City.
In the palace of Holy Rock City, His Majesty O'Jarvis was very angry. His sister's envoy was missing and thousands of scouts sent out were not found. Only one uncle's magician said that the female mage was not dead yet. The sister gave the female mage an iron room. Not only did the female mage not die, but the two hundred soldiers sent to protect the mage themselves may not die.
The scouts in Holy Rock City cannot find Salin, where did Salin go?
It turned out that the next day, Salin asked Aini to take two hundred royal swordsmen from Holy Rock City alone to change into mercenaries' clothing and take a smaller trade route. He took Nanya and Salin's parents to the east, go to the coast, and find the winged skeleton's alchemy ship.
Walking from the sea can not only bypass Guderian City, but also avoid any accidents in Phoenix, and the speed is much faster. If the Cang Turtle Alchemy Ship travels on the sea, its speed can exceed more than a hundred miles and does not require rest, which is much faster than riding a horse.
It is only about five thousand miles from the middle of the empire to the coast. If you go to the border, you will still have a journey of nearly ten thousand miles.
Sarin's caution is necessary. According to the news from Nanya, Safiros intends to reconcile with Rex for the time being. However, reconcile between Safiros and Rex does not mean that they want to have a good relationship with him. He only has one city, and the background of Srieg Island cannot be publicized everywhere for the time being, and cannot stimulate the Alchemy City. Therefore, in Safiros' eyes, he is a person who can sacrifice at any time.
All the people in the Qinglong Stone were sacrificed, and sacrificing themselves was nothing.
Aini continued to travel north to investigate the situation on the border. Aini would stay at the border for a week, arrange a large number of undeads, collect information, and purchase a batch of grain and return to Metatrim. Saini estimated that his city would face war in at most two years.
Reserved food is always the most important thing. Whether it is a swordsman or a magician, you have to eat. Without food, no matter how many mages you have, no matter how many soldiers you have, you can't defend the city.
After rushing to the beach, no one except Tris was tired. He used magic to continuously recover his body, but it did not mean a natural rest. Everyone was physically and mentally exhausted, so Salin stopped.
The seaside in the middle of Qin Yin is mountainous and there is no good port, but the Pantule Alchemy Ship is not big and does not require a large port. Salin found a secluded place, arranged a sound transmission magic array, and tried it one by one according to the coordinates agreed in advance. The third time he found the winged skeleton.
The winged skeleton's alchemy boat was secretly parked in a place more than a hundred miles away, where there was only a small fishing village. Because it was winter, fishermen did not go out to sea, and the fish were not there, and the seaside was extremely quiet.
Salin came to the beach with everyone who could hardly move. A ship above thirty meters was parked on the sea. Salin saw that the Pan Turtle Alchemy Ship had become bigger, and the shell had become thicker and a layer of hard crystalline substance.
If Eni here, he would recognize that this layer of crystals more than one meter thick are the giant armor in the undead plane. The giant armor is not a rare thing, but its attributes are good. When facing attacks, the giant armor will automatically break, and the energy released can offset the attack. This crystal of crystals more than one meter thick is actually more than ten layers, and each time it is attacked, it will only be partially damaged.
