Lex had no idea what Nailisi was planning . She did not let the demon army out as opening the twelve Notes of Purgatory would take up a lot of energy and the entering of ten-thousand demons had already left Nailisi feeling exhausted .
After asking for badges, Nailisi requested for another two death mages and quite a large amount of magic liquid . Instead of flying, Nailisi rushed to Sanlian City riding on a skeletal warhorse .
Although Nailisi missed Saleen very much, she did not display it at all . It was only when she was about to depart that she gave a letter to Saleen .
"This is from Sister Sika . Read it at night when you are alone . "
There was a complicated mixture of feelings in Saleen when he sent Nailisi off . Nevertheless, he knew that at that point in time, he could only move forward and not look back . Too many people depended on him and Nailisi was just one of the more complicated ones .
Saleen and Lex continued to prepare for their wedding, which had already reached the stage of rehearsals . There were many rules of the palace to be followed for a King's wedding ceremony . Fortunately, Saleen's Metatrin Kingdom was a new country, so the palace rules were not as strict as the Qin Empire's .
After leaving Daliang City, Nailisi led two death mages and more than four-hundred death knights towards Sanlian City .
The lands occupied by Lex were the best parts of Luolan . It was a huge flat plain that could cultivate hundreds of different types of plants . Mountains appeared only after more than six-hundred miles west from Daliang City .
Over there, there was a pass where Lex had stationed only ten-thousand elite soldiers while the remaining twenty-thousand were auxiliary soldiers . Nailisi did not stop there at all . She continued on towards the west, heading straight towards Sanlian City .
She had the badge, seal, and ring given to her by Lex . She was now part of the official armies sent to reinforce Sanlian City . Since the documents were in place, she would have no issues going through the city gates .

After the pass, there were five-hundred miles of open plains that were unguarded . If Sanlian City was lost, this piece of land would belong to Tanggulasi . Back when Lex chased the Tanggulasis out of Sanlian City, it took more than one-hundred-thousand men . Of the warriors that were injured, more than half of them were no longer able to serve in the military and had to become farmers .
Nailisi was full of energy and the death mages did not seem to require too much rest either . They were surrounded by death knights and the entire group traveled for a thousand miles until they were finally one-hundred miles away from Sanlian City . Sanlian City was not a pass and small groups of Tanggulasi soldiers might appear from the east, so Nailisi stopped .
She said to the two grade-4 death mages, "The two of you will help me keep a lookout . I am going to release the demon army . If we encounter anyone from the Tanggulasi Empire, just use your scrolls . No need to hesitate . "
"Yes, Lord Nailisi . " The two grand mages replied to Nailisi respectfully .
Nailisi smiled . The scales on her face began to grow and her body expanded very quickly . The spirits retreated . Compared to humans, spirits were much more sensitive to the aura of devils .
In the blink of an eye, Nailisi's body had already expanded to more than twenty yards tall . Although transforming into a devil would not boost Nailisi's special abilities, at least her strength would surpass almost all humans .
The twelve Notes of Purgatory were opened and Nailisi summoned the demons out through the black door using the demonic language . The two death mages could only stare in shock .
The demons were disciplined . They walked out in rows behind their officers as they formed a rectangular formation . The death knights spread apart, but still remained on their guard . When the demon general finally walked out, it knelt in front of Nailisi to await her order .
Nailisi distributed the badges, war banners, and crossbows that Lex has prepared for them . Without the magic symbols, even if the armies of Sanlian City were notified by Lex of their arrival, they would probably still not dare to let them in .

Death mages were typically very brave, so they quickly got used to seeing so many demons . The demons that Nailisi had chosen were four to five yards tall . Aside from horns, scales, and tails, the rest of their features were very similar to humans . The demons all wore the same armor with the badges on their chest .
The badges were magic equipment and their sole purpose was to prove the wearer's identity as they could not be replicated .
The demons were all a little dispirited after being kept in the twelve Notes of Purgatory so long . After they had all been gathered together, Nailisi ordered them to rest and have their meals .
The demons all sat down and began to consume the magic bugs in the huge leather skins that they carried with them . Usually, if demons were not injured, they would eat only once every half a month in order to maintain their strength and energy . Each time they ate, they would eat much more than humans though . If they consumed human grain, the demon army's logistics would face a problem as it would use up more than three times a normal human army's rations .
Nevertheless, after taking into considerations the strong survivability of demons, such usage was still acceptable .
Due to the issue of materials, the six types of devil armors were simplified by Saleen to create a low-level version of devil flying armor . This type of armor allowed for simple flying and would only require grade-4 magic nuclei . One would only be able to fly up to sixty-yards over a very short distance, so its main usage was to help the wearer overcome obstacles like city walls .
The ten-thousand demons were given a total of sixty-thousand grade-4 nuclei . In order to ensure the soldiers had sufficient combat abilities, it was necessary to invest in equipment .
After the demons had eaten, they rested for a while and in less than two hours, they had fully regained their energy . If it were humans that were kept in the twelve Notes of Purgatory instead, they would need more than half a day in order to make a full recovery .
After regaining their energy, the demon army set off for Sanlian City . A distance of more than one-hundred miles was not considered long, even by human standards . If they were without burdens, the humans on the Myers Mainland would be able to travel for half a day at a speed of ten miles per hour without rest .
On the other hand, the humans on the subcontinental plane had much weaker physiques .

Similar to magic beasts, the demons traveled on foot for twenty miles and finally reached Sanlian City after more than five hours . Sanlian City was made of three parts less than twenty miles away from each other and it was built according to the terrain . It managed to save on a lot of manpower and resources during the construction process . The three cities were built on a mountain range .
As the cities were less than twenty miles away from each other, they could send aid to each other anytime . Nailisi headed straight for the city in the middle as the army was led by the two death mages and two-hundred death knights .
The main army of Tanggulasi was on the west side while there was a small troop of enemies on the east . The scouts in the city never stopped patrolling the area . As the demon army looked too frightening and intimidating, the small troop of Tanggulasis made no attempt to intervene . When the scouts of Sanlian City saw the demon army, they still trembled in fear even though they were already expecting them .
These scouts were elite soldiers too, but naturally they were still scared to see so many demons for the first time . The main reason was the devil form that Nailisi had transformed into . A twenty yard tall devil was simply too terrifying to the soldiers .
Fortunately, all the documents were in place and the scouts had already received a heads-up, so they did not make a fool of themselves . They managed to suppress the fear in their hearts and led the spirit army into Sanlian City .
The main general of Sanlian City belonged to a noble family . He was only a grade-3 Marquis, but he was already going beyond his grade by leading one-hundred-thousand men and horses . Lex did not have too many capable people . The Marquis was loyal and rather capable, so putting him in charge of defending Sanlian City was definitely the right choice .
If this Marquis was in charge of attacking, then that might be a different story .
The arrival of Nailisi's demon army caused a commotion in Sanlian City . When Daliang City sent one-hundred-thousand men over in response to the Marquis' request for reinforcements, the latter still felt that it would be difficult to hold the city . The distances between the three cities were very close, so knights could be deployed between them for reinforcements . The Holy See had deployed many blood knights and if a battle was to be fought on an open field, only the heavy-armored knights and soldiers of Bitter Water Prefecture would stand a chance against them .
After a few rounds of battles, Sanlian City suffered many losses and the one-hundred-thousand soldiers sent there for reinforcements would only help to hold the city for another half a month or so .
Nailisi's arrival gave the Marquis hope . When he first heard of a demon army, he was terrified, but that soon gave way to excitement . After all, demons were nothing compared to their enemy, the Holy See .
If the Holy See were to succeed in taking over Bitter Water Prefecture, many would be converted into disciples in no time . Those that chose not to convert would be burned to death . Their children, who were unaware of what had happened, would join the Holy See . Two generations later, many churches would appear on this piece of land .
This was the Holy War and the people of Holy See would use the most cruel ways and means to convert their enemies, rather than influencing them .
The Marquis did not wish to see his children and grandchildren become disciples so he was willing to fight to the death .
Most Qin noble families thought the same way . The Tanggulasi Empire was a good example, where there was no longer any honor or glory attached to the noble families there .
Despite mentally preparing himself, the Marquis still felt weak when he saw Nailisi . He was already considered a talent amongst noble families and was a zun grand swordmaster .
Nailisi exuded an incredibly powerful aura . Behind her was the demon army .
Nailisi lowered her head and said to the Marquis, "Marquis, what is your name?"
"Ferdinand . " The Marquis swallowed his saliva . Nailisi had already tried to tone down her voice, but it was still extremely loud . The gigantic devil could speak in the human language? That would make things much easier .
"I need a space to station the army . They don't need barracks or beds, only flat ground . This is the diagram…" With that, Nailisi threw a magic diagram for Marquis Ferdinand before continuing, "Build some toilets for me . The demons loved to eat meat . Without the toilets, I'm afraid your men will not be able to stand the smell of demons . "
Marquis Ferdinand felt more at ease after what Nailisi said . The demons were still considerate of their human counterparts . He only needed to build some demon toilets and not some special camps . This was easier than he thought .
"Ferdinand, my army will not hurt your soldiers . They may eat some of the enemies as it may be difficult to get supplies, so you need to be prepared . "
The expression on Ferdinand's face changed completely . Eat enemies? They would become notorious immediately if word got out!
