629 Nailisi’s Collections Part 2 (1/2)

There was one catch to building a demon army and that was if they were not well-controlled, imps and demonic spirits could take over the Myers Mainland just by their incredible rate of reproductivity. Although demons did not reproduce as quickly as imps, they possessed better survivability and could command imps and demonic spirits to invade more lands. This was not even taking into account the supreme demons and devils.

If a devil arrived in the Myers Mainland dimension, it would be disastrous.

The Qin population reached billions, but they had less than one-million elite soldiers. Even as a member of the royal clan, Lex possessed her father's wealth and weapons, yet only had two elite swordsmen camps. If the demons managed to get out of control on the Myers Mainland, there would be no turning back.

The demon city and the six types of devil armors that Nailisi mentioned gave Saleen some assurances.

The demon city would control their loyalties and the devil armors would boost their fighting abilities. The most basic demon soldiers could be controlled by the devil's breaching armor.

After listening to Nailisi's explanation, Saleen decided not to take away her collection. Until now, the elite soldiers under Saleen numbered to about one-thousand and most of them came from Sregl Island. Now that Nailisi could build up a demon army, Saleen could allow his own soldiers to train up on their own and just focus on defending Metatrin City.

Nevertheless, Saleen still asked Nailisi to transfer most of the items she had salvaged to his warehouse. She would be allowed to keep those materials that he could not use directly.

Even so, the items that Nailisi salvaged from the sea easily filled up three levels of Saleen's warehouse.

Lex left eventually. She left with ten-thousand elite soldiers, a swordsman camp that Saleen had sent to her for training, and twenty-thousand of her auxiliary soldiers. forty-thousand men and horses rushed back to the borders of Phoenix. Although Holy Rock City had requested for them to arrive a few months earlier than now, winter had just passed. Holy See did not organize any attacks during this period of time either.

Saleen calculated that Sregl Island could be opened soon. Within a year and a half, the mages of Sregl Island would arrive in large numbers. This gave Saleen confidence. The Holy See's army would never be able to breach their defense in such a short time. Besides, he had a deal with Fycro. Surely Fycro would look out for him and dissuade the Holy See from making trouble in his city.

Everything was well-thought out. It never occurred to him that his plans had already been revealed.

The Pope was offering a high reward to find a young mage that he saw in his dreams. Someone that looked like Saleen. His godly instincts convinced the Pope that the dream was real. The two of them somehow managed to be connected through the dream and Theisio had now discovered Saleen's secret.

The Pope even gave a secret order to find this mage. In the end, the black Bishop from the supreme court who almost killed Saleen before finally told the Pope about what had happened outside of Metatrin City.

Once the Pope heard that there was a city in this world with that fellow that held onto an evil faith, his heart went cold. The Pope always listened to God's every order and a few years back, one such order said that a disciple of evil faith had appeared in their world. The Pope did think on it too much back then, but now that he had heard what the black Bishop said, he immediately thought back to God's order and knew that he had been too complacent.

There could be no other gods.

This was what the Lord of Glory had written on the Code of the Holy See. Any disciples of other faiths that appeared in the Myers Mainland must be killed immediately.

This mage was real. When Pope Theisio gave the order to find this mage, he was not sure if anything would come out of it. He could not believe that the people of the supreme court had known about this mage's existence all the while.

The Pope would not punish the supreme court because of this, even though they should have informed him earlier. Now, this mage's city must already possess a strong defense.

The idiots of the supreme court must have wanted to deal with this mage on their own in secret. They did not have the time nor the manpower so they continued to hide from the Pope. They only decided to tell the Pope after he gave the orders and they realized that they could no longer hide from him. The Pope would still have been kept in the dark if not for that strange dream.

Even if Theisio had a good temper, he still thoroughly hated the black Bishop who hid all these information.

Right now, the Holy See's forces were divided into twenty percent stabilizing Titan Duchy, twenty percent fighting with Sikeqinya, and more than half were gathered at the borders of Luolan and Qin. They planned to break into Qin once and for all, how would they have the spare energy to deal with this evil mage?

”Lord Pope, why don't we organize a voluntary expedition that will launch an attack from the borders of Phoenix?” A Cardinal suggested to Theisio.

”Voluntary expedition?”

”Yes, we can recruit voluntary disciples and request for Tanggulasi Empire to activate an army. Altogether, we will gather a one-hundred-thousand strong army and destroy that city.”
