716 A Forced Marriage Part 2 (2/2)
Saleen delegated the tasks one by one, the twelve earls had their respective roles.
After settling all those matters, the nobles then left. At that moment, Nailisi said worriedly, ”Master, why don't you let me follow you? This time around, you will fight with the Cloudflow Empire, I feel that there will be grade-9 experts present.”
”Nailisi, Sika is more important, she is pregnant. I will not rest assured if she participates in battle again, you must ensure her safety. I will bring the winged skeleton and the alchemical boat to sea, while the alchemy factories have successfully replicated the diving warship. Including those mini bone warships which were made by the winged skeleton, I won't be afraid of Cloudflow's fleet.”
”But Master!” Nailisi was distressed, she still could not have peace of mind despite what Saleen said.
”My water puppet has recovered, it can cast the Crystal Finger. Even a grade-9 expert can be killed by this attack.” Saleen knew that his badge's ability had not been regained and the lightning dragons in the necklace had gone into deep slumber after consuming the magic nucleus of a grade-10 lightning dragon. They could not replenish the badge's strength, so Nailisi was anxious.
”Let Cuisi and the others go with you!” Nailisi said.
”Okay, Cuisi's ability is pretty good now.” Saleen did not reject Nailisi's request.
”Let Jola go too, he is not very useful here either.”
”No, Jola has to stay behind to hold the fort. Metatrin City has sufficient mages, but he is the only Silver Grand Swordmaster left. I can only rest assured with him around. Nailisi, the Golden Magic Book which Uncle Fellett gave me contains eighteen level-7 spells and I have also prepared more than one-hundred magic staffs which were gifted by Joey. Each staff can contain three level-7 spells. This time around I can use high-level spells at will to attack the enemy, what else are you worried about?”
Nailisi only sighed bitterly, but Sika remained very composed.
”Saleen, even if you do not marry Lex on this trip, no one can woo her anymore. I will support you. If you run into undefeatable enemies…”
”I will escape.” Saleen nodded his head slightly as he finished Sika's sentence, then said, ”I still have to take care of our child, I will not put my life at stake.”
Sika smiled and told Nailisi, ”See, your master is still very afraid of dying. Don't worry, just stay here with me.”
Eleanor stood at one side and remained silent, she knew that Saleen was willing to make this trip because their coordination had reached a pinnacle state, mages below grade-6 could no longer pose a threat to Saleen. ”My Space Arrow can suppress a grade-7 mage. Coupled with Saleen's level-7 spell, we can team up against one mage. Saleen and I can make a grade-7 sorcerer die indignantly.”
Isabella's powers had been regained, other than being a grade-6 mage, she was also a high-grade swordmaster who was about to progress to a grand swordmaster. She could only advance successfully after becoming a sorcerer though.
Only a mage like that would be unusually ruthless. The weapon Saleen had crafted for Isabella was a longsword which possessed the abilities of a magic staff. People who were clueless about Isabella's profile would surely before her.
”Master, you must take care…” Nailisi's eyes were brimming with tears, as she helplessly watched Saleen leave with Eleanor and Isabella.
Saleen's team only contained two-hundred people. The leaders were Saleen, the winged skeleton, Eleanor, Isabella, and the four demons.
The soldiers who tagged along were all trained by Isabella, they were warriors who were swordmasters and low-grade magic disciples at the same time. The winged skeleton had mysteriously put away the pan's turtle alchemical boat. Saleen's twenty-four Dimension Stones were carrying the twelve diving warships and six dismantled bone warships.
The other warship materials formed a mountainous pile. Saleen was going to make use of the mages in Daliang City to form a fleet on the spot to attack Cloudflow's army from the sea.
Cloudflow's fleet was indomitable, it was time to destroy the myth of it.
Unfortunately, the dragon skeleton warship could not be disassembled, it could not be stored in any equipment. If this machine was steered to the open waters, Saleen would be more confident of destroying Cloudflow's offensive otherwise.
Other than the warship materials, Saleen also brought along a number of magic stone cannons. It was convenient to bring them around, but its usage fees were high. This was no big deal though; if Cloudflow's fleet could be defeated, any amount of spending would be worth it.
As long the Cloudflow people could not attack via sea, they would have to breach the siege by Tanggulasi first in order to attack Lex's territory. They would have to conquer the land north of Chishui River and make a detour of a few thousand miles before being able to come into contact with Lex's army.
After coming to Metatrin City, the winged skeleton was the first to go onshore. He had summoned more than two-hundred skeletal warhorses, taking the lead to charge ahead. These skeletal warhorses were different from the ones summoned by the three kings, they came fitted with riding equipment and their speed was horrifying. Without the winged skeleton's control, Saleen's soldiers would not have dared ride on them.
Metatrin City was over twenty-thousand miles from Daliang City. If they did not move quickly, Saleen could not possibly arrive by October.
He could not be not anxious. If Daliang City, which had no navy, could not seal off the sea, it would be invaded by Cloudflow's army which had more than one-million troops.
