Chapter 324; Contract loose (Part 1)

Archbishop Nicholas saw at a height of 1,000 meters that there were metal fortresses and tall arrow towers everywhere in the west town. Even if he flew to it, he would have to withstand a fatal attack.

Not to mention that there are ten magic towers on the east side of the town. If there is a forbidden flight domain, the magician cannot control his flying skills and fall to death in the city.

There are also magic stone cannons in the city, which is much more accurate than the positioning of magic trenchers. The magic tower can provide the coordinates of heavy equipment outside the city, allowing the magic stone cannons in the city to accurately attack.

When the Pope was about to part, he did not tell Nicholas that the expeditionary forces collected had already been hit by magic and were not as old as the age of year. So he did not want the soldiers to be killed or injured too much, and he also wanted to bring the army back to Galoran, or simply cross Phoenix to attack the city of Guderian.

Salin was so lucky that he went to Holy Rock City and brought the Fellets back. Then he mobilized the two ninth-level magicians of the Red Tiger Mercenary Group to stabilize the defense of Xizhen in one fell swoop.

"General, leave 20,000 people, let's lead our troops and continue to advance east!" Archbishop Nicholas immediately made up his mind. He didn't want to spend more time on this matter. Although this town is difficult to capture, he doesn't believe that the city on the seaside has no loopholes. You must know that Xizhen is a completely militarized city, a city on the seaside. I heard that the trade volume is extremely large and the area will exceed this place, so it will be much more difficult to defend.

Moreover, Archbishop Nicholas made a very accurate judgment. Although the city has strict defenses, there are not too many main legions inside, with a maximum of 10,000 people. He left 20,000 people to cut off the rear. If he did not care about casualties, he could still control the situation. More than 70,000 soldiers went to attack the city by the sea, and with the 5,000 jailers in the referee, the chance of victory was still relatively high.

The commander of the legion could not refuse Archbishop Nicholas' orders. Anyway, his entire legion had no casualties. The main force was there, and he was very sure of attacking the target city. It was nothing less than 20,000 people. If he really attacked this town, it would be as simple as more than 20,000 people.

From the perspective of the commander of the legion, this city can consume all its vitality. The enemy must have arranged such a bait to make it lose its troops here so as to protect the city by the sea.

The three mysterious figures of the Inquisition said to Nicholas at this time: "Architect, this is a ten-story magic tower. Heretics, if you let them go, aren't you afraid of the Pope's criticism?"

"Hmph, dealing with heresy is the matter of the referee. If you don't do anything, will you still frame me?"

"Architect, whatever you want, we will report to the referee after we go back. As for whether Dinicio can save you, it depends on your luck." The three guys laughed and left with the black-clad priests.

Archbishop Nicholas almost vomited blood. When these three guys went back, they probably wanted to punish themselves. But if they really attacked this magic tower, they would not be able to conquer the city by the sea. The Pope's calculations were inaccurate, and a hundred thousand troops would definitely not be able to smooth these two cities.

The cardinals under Nicholas dared not speak. If they suggested, Nicholas would definitely let them attack the magic tower by themselves. No one would do such a thankless thing, so everyone was silent.

Nicholas sneered in his heart, and suddenly understood the intentions of the three guys. When he went back, he had to complain to the Pope, otherwise he would have to take the blame himself.

The final result was that they were left alone, and those three guys were also afraid of taking responsibility.

After understanding this, Nicholas's aura finally calmed down. "Let's go and let the magicians not rely too much."

The people of the Holy See were intrigues, but Salin's Metatlin City was united. The four dukes played a role and gathered hundreds of merchant ships to traffic in Lianyun City for the generation of Lianyun City to come to Metatlin City. Salin gave a large price, and before the inventory was used up, a large amount of fresh raw meat would be supplied to the army.

The biggest loss is the farmers. As soon as the crops were planted, they would probably be destroyed as soon as the army passed. However, Salin has ordered that all farmers should be exempted from taxes, and the tax will be exempted for three years, and will be restored as appropriate after three years. This spring, Metatlin City will join forces with the nobles to provide subsidies for farmers so that farmers who have no food to survive the winter can survive.

Salin even promised to compensate all farmers for their seeds, and if the village is burned, Salin can also rebuild it for free.

All the goods purchased by Salin now are based on the ones who left Lianyun City. Even if it was a storm, Salin will pay according to the number of shipments.

In this way, there are naturally people who are willing to take risks. Anyway, the war cannot spread to the sea for the time being. Once the goods are shipped, you can collect money. There is nothing better to make than this.

There must be brave men under the heavy rewards. The mercenary management regulations of Salin during the war were also released. The small mercenary groups that assisted in the defense of the Blade Pass received heavy rewards. There were mercenaries immediately, intending to join the defensive battle in Metatlin City.

Salin did not refuse any of it, just so he could allow his soldiers to set up defenses on the south wall and rush to assist in the battles in the west at any time. The individual combat power of the mercenaries is OK, but the group combat is too different. However, even if the enemy rushed up, the defense battles on the city wall were all small-scale battles, and the mercenaries were still competent.

After Salin released the news, thousands of mercenaries set out from Lianyun City and had marched towards Metatlin City.

These mercenaries were all from Qin Yin. When they heard that they were going to go to war with the Holy See, they were the easiest defensive war they had to do, they immediately became interested. The commissions in the war were several times higher than those of escorting goods.

With the operation of the four dukes, Metatlin City finally had a new atmosphere. It was no longer lifeless, and the port became busy.

The location of Metatlin City is definitely an enviable place if it wasn't for the long winter. In terms of defense, there is a place like the Broken Blade Pass. If it were built earlier, Salin could definitely block the Holy See's army. To the north, there are several rivers, which makes it difficult for the army to pass in summer. To the south are mountains and to the east are sea.

As long as there is a powerful navy, this city controls land nearly 200 miles to the west and four or 500 miles to the north. Further north, the magician explored a large amount of minerals, and to the west, it was a barren land that could be cultivated. If it weren't so cold, it would have been occupied by Qin Yinren long ago.

Under Salin's management, Metatlin City is becoming more and more prosperous because of metal ores and intermediate magic cores. Now the Holy See's army is about to destroy this place, but in fact, a large number of merchants hate the Holy See. Once Salin guarantees their interests, these people still make the simplest choice.

People in the Holy See would not understand why Qin Yinren hated the spread of faith so much. For Qin Yinren, the Tanggulas Empire was both backward and poor. All of this was brought by the Holy See. Qin Yin had too many masters and too many people who knew the literati and literate. The faith of the Holy See was almost impossible to move forward here.

Now the Holy See is going to use violence to destroy Qin Yin, and Qin Yin is of course angry.

Although Salin gives high prices, in fact, the merchants don’t make much money. They are just afraid of losing money. Almost all the supplies are controlled by the Holy Rock City and sent to the border of Galoran. The merchants want to organize such a large-scale supply of goods, and the cost is also very high.

With stable morale, Salin felt relieved.

Not to mention the arrival of the Holy See's army inside and outside the city, the vanguard approached two miles from the city. Seeing the stretching walls of Metattering, the officers looked very ugly.

Such cities have caught up with the sacred city. In the Tanggulas Empire, there are not many people who have surpassed the snow-white city in front of them.

The magicians in the army were even more discouraged. Some knowledgeable people saw the strangeness of the city wall. Their mental power found that there was a flowing power near the city wall from afar. The magicians were not magicians and could not distinguish them very specifically, but they also knew that it was unlikely to fly over the city wall.

There are many soldiers on the top of the city, with bright armor and flags. In the alchemy telescope, the officers in charge saw a large number of undeads, and the number of these undeads must be several thousand. The walls on both sides cannot see the head by the naked eye. How big is this city? Who said this is a small city!

Archbishop Nicholas was also invited to the front. Seeing the walls of Metattering, Nicholas recognized the layout of the city head-Dante Sequence.

The ability of the Dante sequence to control elements is almost endless. A city wall of such a large scale can organize a complete Dante sequence, and above this city, there must be a no-fly area.

If six magic towers were built in this city, their defense would be almost comparable to those of the Holy Rock City. The Knights of the Kingdom of God hit their heads in front of the Holy Rock City, which had become a shadow in the heart of the Holy Rock City. Some cities are indeed unbreakable. Especially in the country where magic is popular, magicians are not the masters.

Nicholas really wanted to go back to the Guanghui Plain immediately. How to fight such a city? It's ridiculous that he also wanted to become one of the candidates for the Pope with his contribution this time.

But even if the Pope allows him, he has three days of food rations left for more than 90,000 people. How can he go back? By eating grass?

"Please come from the courtroom." Nicholas said to the Cardinal behind him. The only thing he could count on now is the three murderous kings who came out of the black prison.

The attack distance of the magic trencher is only six miles away even if there is a magic bonus. The central army of the Holy See was six miles away. At the top of the city, Salin still came to the front line nervously. The Eye of Elements can see a hundred miles away, and the arrangement of the Holy See army is in full view.

Beside Salin, Neris and Shika followed closely. There were more than a dozen mages from Srieg Island, plus Shika's guards.

"Many heavy armored warriors, Diabinas, I let Zola guard this side with you. This time, you must not retreat." Salin said sternly.

"Yes, Lord Salin." Diabinas answered respectfully, but he didn't take it seriously. That damn contract is no longer so strong in his mind. It's just that he can't watch Salin get hurt and not take action. But Salin doesn't always be on the city wall. When Salin leaves, he doesn't have the final say on how to fight.
