Chapter 562 Holy War
Legions of demons came up from the ground to fight Saint Laurent.

This is the only way one can understand the dramatic changes taking place in the holy city of Frankfurt.

At least one thing is different from what the professor thought, that is, the news of the fall of the Holy City did not destroy the will of the people of Saint Laurent Empire.Because they are not sectarian believers in the usual sense, but loyal and fanatical Roland's personal admirers.

From the beginning of believing in Roland, the idea of ​​doubting Roland will never appear in their hearts.

After realizing the threat of the enemy, the priests and bishops scattered all over the Saint Laurent Empire abandoned their affairs one after another.Spontaneously organized, the capital of Saint Laurent Empire gathered.

This disaster even alarmed Queen Ivana.

In the early morning of the second day after the fall of the holy city of Frankfurt, Ivana summoned the military headquarters, bluntly stated the threat of the incident, and ordered them to start preparing for war.

Everyone is aware of the seriousness of the problem.They didn't waste time as usual, but passed on Ivana's order without hesitation.And supervise them to start implementing immediately.

From the founding of Bansa to the current Saint Laurent Empire, they have never faced such a terrible disaster.

Taking a step back, even if the religious aspect is excluded, this is enough to be called a catastrophe.

You know, the holy city of Frankfurt is actually not that far from the imperial capital, only less than a day's trip.If you take a fast horse, you can even arrive in about three hours.

And the enemy, tentatively defined as a demon, probably used some kind of terrible plague or curse, and had the ability to make the person who had just been killed stand up and fight again.People resurrected by this evil method have almost all the abilities of life, and at the same time, they have the troublesome immortal body, which is almost impossible to kill.

More importantly, this method is extremely concealed, fast and deadly.

Even if the enemy happened to break into the holy city when Saint Laurent, Gaharad, Claudia and others were not around, there should still be three to four cardinals in Frankfurt theoretically in the dome cathedral.

But in fact, until the Holy City was completely fallen, no one knew the news of the invasion.Even now, Ivana got the news from the defenders in the east.

Until now, no one knows who that demon is, what it looks like, and how many people there are.They just know that that demon has a very strong purpose.

Ivana was extremely convinced that if the demon had chosen to target the imperial capital in the first place, she might not have the possibility of escaping.But not only did he choose Frankfurt as his target, after turning all the people in Frankfurt into horrible monsters like undead, he didn't even have the slightest idea of ​​going west to occupy the imperial capital, but was very urgent to go east. March.

Ivana kept receiving messages from front-line wizards.In just half a day, those monsters had already run one-sixth of the distance of Saint Laurent Empire.According to this speed, before the sun rises the next day, they will probably be able to rush to the territory of the Principality of Saya.

Faced with such a situation, Ivana did not act rashly.

Now that several great sages have not returned to Bansa, Bansa's top combat power is not high.Those ghasts who are enslaved by demonic magical captives and cannot be killed by mortal swords are far more powerful than those in life.

Although Frankfurt was quite empty at the time, as a holy city, it also had a large number of professionals.It can even be said that the proportion of professionals among them is unbelievably high.

If you challenge them recklessly, the final result will only be to strengthen the enemy's strength.

After realizing this, not only the military of the Saint Laurent Empire, but even the believers who returned from all over the empire spontaneously avoided the route of the enemy's advance.As a result, the devastating army met no resistance on its way east.Except that the villages and towns at the beginning couldn't avoid being crushed and swallowed by this terrible army, the casualty rate of the towns behind was basically no more than one tenth under the emergency evacuation.

However, these monsters have no intention of stopping.They will ruthlessly kill all the lives that appear in their field of vision.But on the contrary, as long as they were not allowed to see them in the first place, they would not search for these people at all.

It's almost like a golem that mechanically executes the order of [kill everyone it meets].

During this half day, the empire was operating at full speed with unprecedented tension, and it did not improve until dusk.

Because the two cardinals Gaharad and Sira, as well as the saint Claudia, finally returned to the empire.

Coming with them was a group of fully armed holy warriors.

They wore the official attire of the clergy, with pure white cloaks over their robes, and the emblems of veneration were branded on the cloaks.

The long-handled scepter was tightly entangled by thorn-like chains, and the chains spread out like wings on both sides of the scepter.And at the tip of the scepter, it is decorated with a slender cross like Roland's scepter.

Above the scepter, there is a mysterious eye-like pattern suspended, surrounded by chains that spread out to both sides to form a concentric ring.

That is the emblem of the Three Saints, coupled with the scepter symbolizing Roland, their identities are self-evident.

That is the believer of Saint Laurent—the one who follows the rites of the three saints, believes in the principles of the world, and abides by Roland's "Commandment".

A huge divine grace visible to the naked eye echoed on them.The looming silver-white ripples fluttered behind them like ribbons with their actions, forming ripples like water waves.

They are both Roland's knights and Roland's priests.

If you use the words in the game to describe it, the commandment keeper is equivalent to a silver-level advanced job change.It possesses some of the characteristics and magic of the Mourner, but it is not as weak in melee combat as the Mourner.

However, as a price, they must always abide by Roland's commandments and must not violate them.Otherwise, all commandment levels are lost on the third violation.

It can be said that this is an army composed entirely of Roland's fanatics.

Even if the holy land is occupied by demons, there is no despair in their eyes.Only burning anger burned in their eyes.

How terrible the enemy is has nothing to do with them.

Rather, if the enemy is too strong, it can make them feel honored.

They are only Saint Laurent's sword, Saint Laurent's shield, his tongue, his disciples.The meaning of living is to protect Roland's glory.

The moment Ivana saw them from the high platform, she knew what was going to happen next.

— Jihad.They desperately need a holy war to appease their raging souls.

She had already smelled it, and the smell that had excited her so much but hadn't tasted it for many years echoed in the air.

That's the smell of war coming—
