647 Flooding one with money Part 2 (2/2)

”Six level-9 spells should be sufficient. Uncle Fellett, Aunt Lanny, one of the enemies might be a Golden Grand Swordmaster. I have equipment which can only attack once and even a grade-10 expert will not be able to resist its attack directly. This equipment cannot be used to lock onto an enemy...it is similar to attacks such as the ancient magic cannon, it travels in a straight line.”

When Fellett and Lanny first learned that the enemy might have a Golden Grand Swordmaster, they were startled. After discovering that Saleen had equipment which could kill a grade-10 expert, they were startled again. Saleen had delivered many surprises to them, but this time around, it was undoubtedly the most astounding.

”If he isn't killed, we will all die,” Saleen quietly declared.

”How much time do you need?”

”At most half a second, I only need him to freeze for half a second and I will be able to kill him,” Saleen answered with certainty. The power condensed in the clan badge could be released instantly, but time was still needed to aim at the target. Half a second, Saleen needed half a second.

As long as an attack was not level-9 magic, a Golden Grand Swordmaster could destroy it easily. Their actions would not even be slowed, let alone trapped or paralyzed. At least six level-9 spells were required to freeze a Golden Grand Swordmaster in their tracks.

”I will send Nailisi, Cuisi, and Jola to protect the two of you.” Saleen sent his strongest subordinates to the two of them. No one other than this couple could release so many level-9 scrolls.

Saleen was willing to expend six level-9 magic scrolls, he was going to flood the enemy with money.

Saleen still had to arrange for people to protect Fellett and his wife because casting so many level-9 scrolls in succession would cause their mental strength to be emptied. A mage would not be able to cast magic without mental strength even if their magic chords were not depleted. In the event Fellett and his wife died after helping Saleen kill the Golden Grand Swordmaster, Saleen would have sustained huge losses.

”Sure.” Fellett knew the profiles of the people around Saleen. With Nailisi and Cuisi, coupled with a Silver Grand Swordmaster, Fellett and his wife would remain safe.

Saleen handed six level-9 scrolls to them on the spot, then told Sika, ”Don't leave me, the other two people are depraved mages.”

”What about Diyabannersa and company?”

”They aren't reliable,” Saleen answered briefly.

Under such immense pressure, Saleen had steeled his mind to get rid of the three kings. When a true crisis struck, the three kings had actually turned into a burden. Saleen decided to deploy his strongest subordinates to protect Fellett and wife because he was afraid that the spirit kings might behave abnormally.

Saleen had also prepared dozens of level-6 magic scrolls as a precaution. Most of the scrolls he had amassed over the years were blank, many of the completed ones were actually brought out from Sregl Island.

The Holy See's expeditionary army continued attacking. The second wave still relied on the steel arrow chariots, using the arrow chariots to fire at the city entrance so as to suppress the arrows originating from there.

Five-thousand soldiers changed into armor, then charged towards the walls of Metatrin City. This time around, the expeditionary soldiers did not use ladders and there was no help from any large equipment either. This group of troops only wielded weapons and charged to the foot of the city walls.

By the time these five-thousand men reached the foot of the city walls, one-thousand of them had already died under the barrage of arrows. Saleen did not even use the magic stone cannons. The soldiers donned lightweight metal armor in order to withstand the attacks from the bows. Saleen's spirits were using large bows, so the weight of the feather arrows was higher than the equipment used by a normal human. When fired, their penetrative ability was also very powerful.

The soldiers who arrived at the bottom of the city walls used the steel thorns on their gloves to slap the walls. They attempted to use their strength to help them scale the walls. The lower portion of the city walls were unusually smooth and there were no concave spots either. When the steel thorns contacted the walls, they simply fractured. The Tanggulasi soldiers immediately changed into another pair of gloves which they took out from their leather pouches.

The situation immediately changed. The new gloves worn by the soldiers had a layer of sticky fluid and there was animal mane within the fluid, allowing the gloves to possess strong adhesive ability. The front of the soldiers' boots were also slathered with a layer of sticky fluid. All the soldiers then began scaling the slightly tilted city walls.

Fireballs descended from the city entrance, but there were no ladders this time around. Some soldiers fell off, but more soldiers continued ascending the walls. Unlike the previous time, the soldiers who got shot by the arrows did not fall off. The body of every soldier flashed with a white radiance. Before they set off, they were already blessed with a divine spell, so they would not feel pain. As long as they did not die, they would climb the walls desperately.

”Whoever treats me ruthlessly, I will also treat them in the same manner.” Saleen had no hint of sympathy as he ordered Diyabannersa to command the spirits to pour oil down the city walls. This layer of oil caused the city walls to be extremely slippery, but the unknown fluid on the soldiers' gloves could counter the oil. The soldiers remained stuck to the wall, they did not back down.

”Set it ablaze!”

Immediately, from the structures behind them, mages released the Phoenix Spell. Phoenixes encircled, igniting the oil which was flowing down the city walls. The soldiers who were climbing the walls amidst the oil began burning at the same time.
