398 The Opportunity to Counter Attack Part 2 (2/2)
”Don't worry, just continue to guard against the enemy according to Daniel's arrangement. We will counter attack at night. You don't need to hold on for long. Aini, Irene, transfer your people to the harbor to guard the line of defence at the back. Sika, return to South Court to contact your warriors. I need a troop of six-hundred heavy infantrymen, bring them along to the hall with you. I shall prepare armor for them.”
When Saleen finished giving commands, there was a low level mage named Sumier that came to welcome him at the harbor. Saleen saw the carriage that they sent to get him, but he did not get on. He instead cast a quick cloud spell and flew into the air. He told Sumier on the ground to return on his own.
Looking at Saleen flying away in the air, Sumier envied him and gulped. He knew that Saleen was only a grade-5 mage, but he had such powerful flying skills when he himself could only move slowly on the ground. He was uncertain if he could even cast an effective windspeed skill.
Aini and Irene returned to the city hall separately. Sika did not look towards Sumier's carriage and she called a Caucasus Magic Wolf Calvaryman that was patrolling nearby. She asked for his magic wolf to rush back to South Court where all the Caucasus people stayed.
The speed of the magic wolves were faster than warhorses in short distances. Although the speed for long distance was slower, their endurance was higher. A magic wolf was not considered high level among magic beasts, but they could follow their prey for a few days time just to hunt for food. Sika sat on the back of the magic wolf and it started running as though it was flying.
A magic wolf was a loyal creature. If anyone else sat on it, it would flip the person off and break their throat. Sika, the warrior priestess, only needed to whisper softly in its ear for the magic wolf to bring her obediently. The Caucasus warrior looked at Sika's receding figure with full adoration.
He wished he had a chance to get intimate with the priestess, but the priestess seemed to like the mage. It would be great if it was the death mage as he heard that death mages could not give birth to sons.
The Caucasus warrior shook his head with regret and thought, ”Even if the mage couldn't, it wouldn't be my turn. There are another two young and strong warriors in the tribe, which are the two most loyal bodyguards of the priestess.”
If Saleen were to know what the Caucasus warrior was thinking about, he would be furious. Because of Sika's identity, even if she was uglier than a demon, there would still be tons of Caucasus people that would want to have a kid with her. That was the most primitive belief in a culture that was passed down for dozens of thousands of years.
The temple in the city center had various magic arrays and there were dozens of teleportation portals among them. The material that Jason gave to Saleen was precious. The place where Saleen used to stay had quite a few sound transmission magic arrays. It could communicate with a few important locations in the city.
It was unnecessary to be so luxurious normally, but during war, it was an effective way to communicate as the central command could be spread quickly.
Kredian was waiting outside the temple when he saw a thick cloud streak across with lightning speed.
”Master, you finally returned!” Kredian could not suppress his happiness when he welcomed Saleen.
”Mm, let's talk inside. No one got hurt, right?”
Kredian's eyes grew red when he said, ”We lost over one-hundred swordsmen.”
”I saw their dead bodies. I want to form a counter attack immediately.” Saleen said as he walked into the temple. At the first floor of the temple, Saleen saw two Caucasus warriors in their beautiful armor leading dozens of young Caucasus people.
”Why are you here?” Saleen asked.
The two Caucasus warriors were Sika's bodyguards. When they saw Saleen, they were shocked. The two of them were mature, they did not ask Sika, but answered Saleen's question, ”The priestess told us to guard this place until your return.
”Sika has returned. You don't need to return first but follow me. She will come along.” Saleen said and went to the second floor. The second floor had a model of the whole city's arrangement, with a sound transmission magic array to communicate in every corner.
Saleen entered his own huge room and let everyone who followed to take a seat. He then activated the magic array on the table and started broadcasting to all the other sound transmission magic arrays.
”I am Saleen Metatrin. I am back. The enemy is on the sea one-hundred miles away. In five hours, all their ships will sink. I want all of you to take revenge for the dead. Anyone who hurt the people in this city will have to pay the price with their life. Kill all of them.”
