King

One soldier fell, and a new soldier immediately took over. Both sides were already red-eyed, as if they had forgotten the fear of death.

As the headquarters of the Holy See, the unique political significance of the Holy Mountain of Light makes this mountain city unique.

Ever since the human race became the overlord of the continent, this has been the safest place in the entire continent. There are no walled fortresses at all, and the main focus is self-confidence.

This has been confirmed in the past years. Apart from the internal strife within the Holy See, foreign enemies have never touched the doorstep of their home.

It's a pity that no matter how glorious a force is, it will eventually decline one day. The Holy See, which has become internally corrupt, faces its biggest challenge today.

The roaring magic crystal cannon, the gorgeous magic, and the speeding crossbows cannot conceal the fact that the Holy See is declining day by day.

Although the power of faith is powerful, it cannot make up for the gap in strength. Compared with the elite Frankish army, the temporarily recruited Holy See army was nothing more than cannon fodder.

If a large amount of extraordinary power had not been invested in the battle, the fragile defense line of the Holy Mountain would have been torn apart long ago.

Various protective weapons were thrown into the battlefield, and Pius VII's heart was bleeding. These are the essence of the Holy See. Once the losses are heavy, it will be difficult to make up for it in a short time.

The age of great strife has just begun, but it has already lost its foundation. In the future competition, it will undoubtedly suffer a big loss.

To quench your thirst with poison, you can only drink it first. If you are chronically poisoned, you can still find a way to save yourself; if the enemy breaks through the holy mountain, there will be nothing left.

"Your Majesty, we can't go on like this!

Although the people in the Heretic Tribunal, the Hall of Judgment, and the Ascetic Monk Camp are powerful individually, they are not an army after all. If we jump directly into the battlefield, we will suffer a great loss.

We lost hundreds of elites in just one enemy attack. If this consumption continues, I am afraid that we will suffer heavy losses before reinforcements arrive.

Rather than sit back and wait for death, it is better to take advantage of our many experts to sneak attack the enemy camp tonight and teach the Franks a harsh lesson! "

Blake said viciously.

It was not easy to be the defense officer of the Holy Mountain. All parties suffered heavy losses, and everyone's resentment was focused on him.

If effective measures are not taken, the resentful factions will not be able to spare him until the end of the war.

To avoid being angered, he had to do something now. The most suitable option right now is to attack the enemy camp at night.

"You mean to let the Sanctuary join the war?"

Pius VII asked slightly hesitantly.

It is also an unwritten rule that the sanctuary does not appear on the battlefield. In the past few years, the Holy Land has rarely been seen in human civil wars.

On the one hand, the destructive power of the sanctuary is too great, which can easily destroy the balance in the war; on the other hand, it is to preserve the vitality of the race and prevent the situation from getting out of hand.

"Yes, Your Majesty!

Today is different from the past. The power of the alien race has been greatly weakened. Some of the original rules are no longer necessary to follow.

Our masters have all returned to the Holy Mountain, but it is impossible for all the strong men from the Holy Land of the Frankish Kingdom to follow the army. It is more beneficial to us to break the rules! "

Blake's explanation made everyone's eyes brighten. They were all at a critical moment of life and death, and they didn't care at all if they behaved improperly.

It is better to fight directly than to break the rules of war. If the enemy cannot be held back, the subsequent attack and defense battle on the Holy Mountain will become even more brutal.

"good!"

After making a difficult decision, Pius VII turned his head again and said to everyone: "If the enemy dares to attack the Holy Mountain, he must be prepared. I am afraid it will be difficult to attack the enemy camp at night.

It will take a certain amount of time for reinforcements to arrive. The only solution for now is to restart the summons.

Bishop Sauron, prepare the sacrifice. Inform the saints and saints to be prepared and summon the angels to come if the situation gets out of control! "

After getting this answer, everyone's expressions became serious. Despite the flawless depiction of angels in doctrine, in fact the Vatican is very taboo about the arrival of angels.

No one wants to summon these alien creatures unless absolutely necessary, even if these guys are messengers of gods.

On the one hand, the summoning method is too cruel, not much different from a cult; on the other hand, the strength of the descending angels is completely random, the strong ones can rival the holy realm, while the weak ones are just ordinary knights.

What's worse is that these angels have their own intelligence, they only selectively execute the Pope's orders, and their behavior after coming is uncontrollable.

Referring to the information left by our ancestors, we can see that every time angels come, there are always problems. Not to mention stabilizing faith, it is good not to shake people's faith.

…

At midnight, the Franks' camp was eerily quiet. As the commander-in-chief, Marquis Sunil was currently looking at the map of the Papal State.

From time to time, he walked out of the tent and looked at the starry sky, as if waiting for something.

The seemingly peaceful camp is actually hiding murderous intent. There are countless traps and traps, and if you accidentally enter them, you can be killed in an instant.

Under the night, a group of black shadows flashed past, and the patrolling soldiers fell down before they could react.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

He solved the patrolling soldiers, but accidentally triggered a trap in the camp while going deeper. The flying crossbow arrows not only took away a few unlucky people, but also sounded the alarm in the camp.

"Enemy attack!"

The whereabouts were exposed, and the Frankish soldiers who had been prepared came out of the tent wearing armor.

Seeing this scene, Pius VII's face suddenly turned ugly.

As the Pope, he personally led the raid, but the beheading plan ended in failure.

The ants kill the elephant. Facing a well-prepared enemy, even if there are many experts in the team, it will be difficult to capture the enemy camp by force.

While they were struggling, a group of masters also emerged from the Frankish military camp and went directly to their rear.

Although the number was not as large as theirs, with the soldiers in the camp surrounding them, the threat was still considerable.

"Everyone takes action together, no mercy!"

Pius VII's words were obviously directed at the strong men from the holy realm in the team.

As the person in charge of the Holy See's highest combat power, he spends his time cultivating in hiding during normal times and will only take action at critical moments.

Five auras soaring into the sky erupted together. Just as he was about to start a killing spree, he was locked by the enemy.

This result really shocked Pius VII. Although the five holy realms are not all of the Holy See, they are the largest mobile force he can mobilize at the moment.

As the most powerful country in the human race, if the Franks came out in full force and gathered so many masters, he could accept it, but it was obviously impossible at the moment.

Although the anti-French alliance did not attack with all its strength, it also contained a large amount of the Franks' power. It was simply impossible to invest all high-end power.

We only have five saints on our side, and six of the enemy's saints actually jumped out. Even if there is a strength gap between the saints, the original plan cannot be used.

"Who are you and why do you want to join in this fun?"

Pius VII asked coldly.

According to previous speculation, the Franks would only send two or three Sanctuaries at most. The seventh- and eighth-level masters were also dominated by the Holy See. They would have an absolute advantage in tonight's attack.

Even if you can't kill the opponent's coach, you can still severely dampen the enemy's morale. Buy enough time for reinforcements to arrive.

It's a pity that the plan didn't change quickly. No one expected that the enemy camp had been prepared and so many experts were deployed to wait for them here.

"His Majesty the Pope, you are really a noble person who forgets things. Back then, when you led people to hunt us down, we all saw each other before!"

The mocking voice rang in his ears, suddenly awakening the memories of Pius VII, and then his expression changed drastically.

If you get together with the Franks just because of profit, you can still find ways to bribe them, or persuade these people to be neutral.

There is no need to think about it now. They are enemies of the Holy See. Their purpose of coming here is self-evident.

"Your Majesty, the three saints on the left are all from the Pseudo-Frank Empire; the three on the right are from the Five Nations Alliance.

The person who is answering you is Robert, who served as the dean of the Magic Academy and the Arcane Academy in the Kingdom of Alpha. A few years ago, the Alpha Kingdom announced the death of this person, but it was probably hidden.

The two people behind him are also wanted heretics. They were born in the Dante Kingdom and the South Bank Kingdom respectively, and have not been seen for more than ten years.

I originally thought they were all dead, but I never expected that these heretics had broken through the sanctuary and came to cause trouble for us! "

Ulisse's introduction left Pius VII speechless. Why did the heretics who were hunted down by the Holy See not only not die, but also broke through the holy realm one by one?

In an instant, Pius VII thought about many things. No wonder that as soon as the Alpha Kingdom issued the call, the Five Nations Alliance followed suit and established a new Holy See. Behind the feelings, these heretics were still at work.

Fortunately, Ulisse did not finish his words. It would be even more fun to tell Pius VII that the three saints from the pseudo-Frankish Empire were once their wanted criminals.

If this kind of famous scene spreads, the outside world might think that being wanted by the Holy See will make it easier to break through the holy realm.

In fact, there is a certain connection between the two.

Compared with ordinary magicians, arcanists have a higher probability of understanding the laws; compared with ordinary knights, knights who have experienced the test of life and death have a higher probability of understanding the laws.

In a sense, these people are able to make breakthroughs through accumulation, and the Holy See has really made a contribution.

It's a pity that everyone didn't appreciate it and wanted to go against the Holy See. Not only did he hate the Holy See, he also taught a group of students who hated the Holy See.

Take the Kingdom of Alpha as an example. It firmly stands against the Holy See. A large part of the reason is that those in power have been exposed to the Holy See’s dark history education since they were young.

"It's not too late for you to leave now. We can pretend that nothing happened and will cancel the wanted order against you.

When the reinforcements from the Holy Mountain arrive, it won't be so easy if you want to leave! "

Pius VII said admonishingly.

Strength determines status. Even heretics cannot live in peace.

The once awesome and coaxing Vatican is a thing of the past. Now the Vatican must think twice before doing anything.

If you can reduce the number of enemies, then try to reduce them as much as possible. If you continue to cause trouble everywhere as before, you will be tormenting yourself to death sooner or later.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. A few of us are just here to watch the excitement. According to mainland rules, the Holy Land is not allowed to participate in secular wars.

Why fight and kill when we can live in peace?

I don’t think it’s better for everyone to enjoy this beautiful night view and spend this unforgettable time together.

Of course, if the seniors on the Holy Mountain can come down and give us some guidance, that would also be a good choice! "

After hearing Robert's answer, Pius VII frowned even more tightly. His intuition told him that these people seemed to want the garrison and worshipers on the holy mountain to leave.

In fact, as a religious organization, the Holy See has not made no contribution to mankind at all.

The Holy Mountain of Light is not only a religious holy place, but also a prison, where many special alien evil gods are imprisoned.

Because these evil gods have special origins, they cannot be killed by conventional means and can only be slowly worn to death with divine power.

After countless years, these evil gods are almost dead, and the rest are also dying.

However, the tradition of expert guarding was still preserved. It's just that because the number of these evil gods is constantly decreasing, the importance they attach to them is also decreasing.

In the past, masters from the human race took turns to garrison there, but now only one master from the Holy See will stay behind to garrison, while the rest are far away overseas.

In name, he is guarding the evil god, but in fact he is also guarding the Holy See. However, due to the influence of heaven and earth, the strong men who stayed behind almost stopped taking action in order to reduce the rate of loss of life.

Vaguely, Pius VII felt that sending the signal just now was a mistake. Maybe the enemy had a conspiracy waiting for them.

"I'm already here!"

"You little guys are really having fun!"

Floating sounds rang in everyone's ears. A young man suddenly appeared in the middle of the crowd.

Judging from his appearance alone, this person was younger than all the saints present, but his aura made everyone tremble.

Seeing the person clearly, Pius VII's face turned pale. It was obvious that this veteran of the Holy See was very dissatisfied with him as the Pope.

There is no point in defending. It allows the enemy to touch the foot of the holy mountain. No matter how you look at it, it is an unqualified performance.

Just as he was about to say something, black clouds suddenly rose above the holy mountain, blocking the moonlight. Countless undead creatures emerged from the ground and attacked the crowd.

For a moment, the cry of killing resounded throughout the world, and the originally peaceful holy land suddenly turned into a purgatory on earth.

Even at the foot of the Holy Mountain, one can clearly feel the evil aura on the mountain.

The sudden change made the atmosphere on the field suddenly tense. It seemed that if they disagreed, the most violent fighting would break out.

"Senior, what happened on the mountain has nothing to do with us.

According to the rules of the Human Alliance, the Sanctuary is not allowed to participate in secular wars. We are just here to supervise! "

It was an old man in Frank's team who answered.

It could be seen that although he was in awe of the young man in front of him, he was not afraid at all.

Obviously, the rules of the Human Alliance are still binding on the strong.

The outside world only thinks that the Human Race Alliance was established by the human race countries. In fact, the people who initially planned to form the Human Race Alliance happened to be the strongest group of people in the human race.

Although it has gone through countless years of inheritance, the founders of that year have already become ancient, but the strong men of the human race who were born later have taken up their positions.

These people are cultivating overseas and usually do not participate in the disputes on the mainland, but they also secretly supervise the operation of the Human Alliance.

Otherwise, given the human race's habit of fighting among themselves, the alliance would have been ruined by everyone in countless previous incidents.

"snort!"

"Everyone has said that the Holy Land is not allowed to participate in secular wars. Why are you still standing there? Hurry back and stabilize the rear!"

The young man scolded sternly.

The rule that the sanctuary cannot participate in secular wars is binding on both sides. If the other party can use it, they can also use it.

Instead of desperately fighting with these guys, it is better to go back and deal with the aftermath, and leave today's account behind for settlement.

After reacting, Pius VII glared at Robert and others fiercely, and immediately ordered: "Withdraw!"

At this time, changes also occurred on the Holy Mountain. After being stimulated by the invasion of foreign enemies, the few cardinals who stayed behind immediately decided to start the angel summons.

Countless men and women were pushed onto the altar, and blood flowed from their wrists and gathered into the blood pool.

Under the illumination of the holy light, a portal was slowly opened. The saints and saints, who had been prepared in advance, walked to the front desk with pious faces to welcome the arrival of the angel.

The cardinal presiding over the discussion took out the crystal balls that had been prepared and distributed them to all the saints and saints.

The bloody aura emitted by the crystal ball destroyed the originally sacred picture and also attracted the angels on the other side of the portal.

Suddenly, an angel soul came over, picked a Holy Son and possessed it, and then the second, third...angels followed.

Just when everyone thought they were done, a cup of liquid full of evil aura was poured into the blood pool. The angels who originally descended began to undergo great changes.

The white wings suddenly turned blood red. The original sacred aura suddenly became evil.

"Fallen Angel!"

The cardinal who was presiding over the ceremony exclaimed in panic.

If angels are the messengers of the Lord of the Morning, then fallen angels are the walkers of the abyss.

Except for their skin color, their appearance is exactly the same. You can tell at a glance that they are derived from the same species.

It's just that angels represent auspiciousness, while fallen angels represent killing. From their birth, fallen angels have an extreme hatred of gods.

The church personnel who recognized the fallen angels immediately realized that they were in serious trouble.

It is blasphemous for angels to fall during their descent!
