For Salem, there was no chance for him to regret at this point.
The entire Azure Tide Kingdom was looted, and half of Area 5 was destroyed. There is no possibility of peace talks between the Winged People and humans.
Fortunately, judging from the current situation, the other countries are not yet ready for an all-out war.
Therefore, he needs to gather all his strength and launch another surprise attack on a stronger and higher-ranked country.
He no longer considered Area 5. The Blazing Steel Kingdom was relatively weak and extremely poor, so a blitzkrieg would bring little benefit.
He looked at the map for a long time and finally set his sights on several countries in the northern part of the continent.
The several countries in the south are either tough nut to crack, too poor, or there is no need to fight them.
"The Citrine Jade Crown Kingdom... I've heard the king of this country is the strongest, and there are quite a few dragon knights within the kingdom. I'm not sure I can defeat them."
"The Topa Kingdom is a good option, but the soul is too strange. I'm afraid of failure, so I'd better keep it as a backup."
"The Holy Mithril Kingdom has average strength, but its economy is okay. It barely meets the requirements."
Just as Salem was forming a battle plan in his mind, his eyes inadvertently shifted to the Emerald Kingdom in the south of the continent.
"Emerald Kingdom... that's fine too."
Salem took three small chess pieces from the table beside him and placed them on the maps of the Topal Kingdom, the Holy Mithril Kingdom, and the Emerald Kingdom respectively.
"Go quickly! Invite Prince Tunguska and His Majesty Campbell over here, and tell them I have something important to discuss!"
The winged sentry guarding the door received the order and quickly spread his legs and ran towards the outside.
"I allow you to fly! Fly and deliver the message!"
Salem held his forehead helplessly, thinking:
Maybe he really needs to reflect on this and change the law. After all, it's not a big deal to not allow people to fly.
Not long after, Tungus Golden Wing, who received the message from the Winged People sentinel, came to the palace.
From a distance, Tunguska's temperament is completely different from Salem.
Salem's temperament makes him look like a leader and ruler.
Confidence and arrogance are his representative words.
Salem also behaved very generously and kindly towards his tribesmen.
It's just because he is too young that he has some minor problems.
For example, arrogance and so on.
From the outside, the Tunguska appears much more dangerous and gloomy.
The most important thing is his eyes, which reveal a sense of suppressed madness.
His steps were unsteady and there was something strange about his movements. At first glance, he didn't look like a normal person.
Tungus was wearing a loose blood-red robe with its sleeves fluttering in the wind, but his eyes were hidden in the bangs on his forehead, giving people the feeling of a poisonous snake.
Depressing, dangerous, and feminine.
Perhaps the word "feminine" can barely be considered a compliment to him.
His face had soft lines and a pale complexion, but his lips were a bright red that made people's scalps tingle when they saw them.
"My brother, what is the matter that you called me here for?"
Tunguska and Salem are biological brothers, and both of them are very talented.
It’s just that Salem’s personality and way of thinking are more loved by the Winged People.
Because of his character flaws, Tungus often caused the Winged people to both respect and fear him, and almost no one was willing to approach him.
But he was happy with it.
"Tunguska, how many times have I told you that when you have nothing to do, you should go out more often and get some sun! Look at your skin, it's almost become so pale!"
"Brother, how many times do I need to tell you that you and I are already magical beings? Sunlight alone cannot possibly change our skin color. The reason I turned it white was to facilitate my blood magic experiments."
Tungus loved his brother very much, but that was not a reason for him to allow his brother to act crazy and stupid.
"Oh, Sky Consciousness, I simply cannot accept your thinking as a magician!"
"The sun is the symbol of the sky. Its power can definitely improve your complexion. Look at me, I sunbathe every day, and even my wings have become extra radiant."
Salem spread his wings and showed Tunguska the results of his hundreds of years of sunbathing.
Tunguska also spread its wings, and two pairs of bright golden wings were fully unfolded in the palace.
After comparison, Salem found that the color of the wings of the two could not be said to be exactly the same, but it could be said that there was no difference at all.
"Hehe, it shows that you, brother, are still loved by the Sky Consciousness. Even if you stay in your room every day without sunlight, He still maintains your wings in this way."
After listening to his brother's words, Tungus felt as if he was talking to a cow, and the communication between the two was completely out of sync.
"Let's get back to the topic, brother. What on earth did you call me here for?"
"If there's nothing important, I'll continue my research on using blood instead of magic to operate the floating island."
Tunguska is a high-ranking dragon knight, but he is also a magician who pays great attention to the study of magic.
However, he is rather biased and is only proficient in an unpopular school of magic among the Winged People - blood magic.
All magics have their roots in the same thing, and the knowledge and principles they contain are pretty much the same, so Tungus can also cast some elemental magic like an ordinary magician.
Among the Winged People, some people wanted Tungus to go to the Supervisory Office to do hard labor, but Tungus's words made those people shut up completely.
"I can liberate them in my own way, but what about you? Besides threatening me from a moral high ground, what else can you do?"
"Do you really think I, a high-ranking dragon knight, am made of mud?!"
Ever since Tunguska scolded them in front of everyone, no one dared to mention this matter again.
The subject that Tunguska has been studying over the years is how to use blood to replace the original ownerless magic power to achieve interconnection.
According to Tunguska, as long as his research succeeds, all magicians will be liberated.
Salem didn't understand, but Salem believed in his brother.
So he was always willing to wait, waiting for his brother to bring him good news.
But they really don’t have enough time, and they can’t keep up with the speed at which humans are getting stronger.
"Brother, I have bad news for you."
In a low voice and with a serious expression, Salem told Tunguska about his next military plan to launch a surprise attack on the human kingdom.
After listening to this, Tungus did not object, but instead put forward his own opinion.
