King

I realized something was wrong and it was too late to stop it. Fallen angels don't care who summoned them.

Seeing the annoying clergy in front of them, they just followed their instinct and chose to kill.

The cardinal who was the first to recognize the "fallen angel" had already stepped aside immediately. The clergy who were a step slower to react had now become the dead souls under the sword of the fallen angel.

"Kill", "kill" to your heart's content. The group of angels who had just fallen seemed to be possessed by a demon, acting entirely on instinct.

Bishop Sauron, who was lucky enough to save his life, hurriedly ordered the guards on the Holy Mountain to take action to kill these fallen angels.

Unfortunately, it was too late. The angels summoned by the Holy See at a great cost were not weak in the first place, and their combat effectiveness became even stronger after their fall.

The guards guarding the outside were defeated in an instant. The killing spread from the altar to the outside world, and the empty Holy Mountain inside could not stop it at all.

Perhaps it is because the method of coming is too cruel and too much resentment has been accumulated. The angel's coming is no longer pure and innocent, and depravity is nothing new.

However, these hidden dangers will only break out after the angels come and after a long period of killing.

This is the first time that something like this happened collectively on the first day of arrival.

Recalling the process of summoning the angel just now, the face of Bishop Sauron, who had saved his life, changed greatly.

It was obvious that someone had tampered with the summoning process, which led to the farce in front of him.

You know, you know, but as the person in charge of the angel’s arrival, Bishop Sauron can’t say anything at the moment.

It's better to have a confused koan than to have it be your own responsibility. It involves "blasphemy". Anyone caught with this crime will only die.

Without enough time to think too much, Bishop Sauron hurriedly mobilized his troops, hoping to kill these fallen angels and control the impact to a minimum.

Unfortunately, things are already in chaos outside. Undead creatures and abyss monsters are emerging in an endless stream, and they are constantly plundering the holy mountain.

Due to lack of response experience, the defenders could only fight on their own. Even with the help of a group of clergy, the situation is not optimistic.

The fallen angel soon appeared in everyone's sight, and countless believers were brutally murdered before they could react.

Seeing this bloody scene, Bishop Sauron was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Now he just hopes that when he goes out to attack the enemy's troops, he can come back quickly to deal with the aftermath.

You must know that these fallen angels have just arrived and are in their weakest state. If they are allowed to recover to their peak, it will only be more terrifying.

For this group of fallen angels, human souls and blood are the best supplements. The killing in front of them was a playground tailor-made for them.

"Thief, where can I escape!"

Just after he finished cursing angrily and was about to go to settle accounts with his enemies, Bishop Sauron suddenly stopped.

Going after the Sanctuary at the eighth level is really nonsense. He has not lived enough and is not ready to commit suicide.

However, he still recorded the enemy's figure. This account will have to be settled sooner or later. Even those who dare to go to the Holy Mountain to cause trouble will have to pay the price.

The angry curses still attracted the attention of the enemy. The old man in gray robe who was killing people on the battlefield suddenly turned his attention to Bishop Sauron.

Looking at his posture, he was obviously preparing to kill another cardinal and refresh his record.

"Forget it, don't argue with these rubbish. We don't have much time. Let's get rid of these old ghosts as soon as possible.

The people at the foot of the mountain can't hold off the enemy for long. If the main force of the Holy See returns, it will be difficult for us to leave. "

The insulting voice of the man in green fell into Bishop Sauron's ears at this moment, but it was a relief.

After saving his life again, cold sweat broke out on Bishop Sauron's forehead. Just a little bit away from death again. There are more excitements today than in the past few decades.

Seeing that the enemy was about to leave, the three Sanctuaries who stayed behind at the Holy Mountain immediately opened fire.

However, with three against five, they were already at a disadvantage. It is obviously impossible to keep the five saints who want to leave.

In the blink of an eye, the enemy disappeared. The three sacred domain worshipers looked at each other and instantly unified their stance.

Chasing the enemy is important, but defending the sacred mountain is even more important. If the chaos on the mountain is not extinguished as soon as possible, the Holy See will suffer even greater losses.

Just as the three of them were about to take action, Pius VII had already returned with the Holy See's powerful men. Looking at the mess on the holy mountain, the anger soared into the sky.

For safety reasons, he left three strong men from the Holy Domain to guard his lair, but in the end, his home was stolen by the enemy.

"Fallen Angel!"

"How is this going?"

Pius VII asked sternly.

It's just a surprise attack by the enemy. The Holy See has many enemies. It’s not surprising that there was backlash when it declined.

But the angel who was supposed to be a help suddenly turned into a hostile fallen angel. This was intolerable.

"Your Majesty, it's not too late to investigate these matters later. It's better to suppress these heretics now!"

After being reminded by the elder priest of the sanctuary, Pius VII did not bother to investigate what happened and directly led his people to join the battlefield.

With the addition of a new force, the situation on the battlefield was instantly reversed. The Holy See, which had been slow and confused, regained the initiative.

…

At the foot of the Holy Mountain, Marquis Sunil warmly entertained a group of powerful men from the Holy Land. The advantage in tonight's battle depends entirely on these reinforcements from all over the world.

If it weren't for these eight Saint Realm powerhouses who brought hundreds of eighth-level powerhouses to join the battle, the Frank Empire would have suffered a huge loss in this battle on the Holy Mountain.

However, people always have to look to Shu. Seeing that the Holy See was in big trouble, Marquis Sunil asked tentatively:

"Seniors, if we attack with all our strength, is it possible to capture the Holy Mountain?"

The political status of the Holy Mountain of Light is too high. Once it is captured, it means that the orthodox status of the Holy See has shifted.

It was of very important strategic significance to the Frankish Empire and the Five-Nation Alliance, which established the Holy See. As long as they can succeed, no one will give up.

"Your Majesty the Marquis, although the Holy See is corrupt, the wealth they have accumulated is still very strong.

With the few troops you have in hand, if you want to seize the Holy Mountain before the enemy's reinforcements arrive, the probability of success is extremely slim.

What's more, it's time for the Anti-French Alliance to take action. They can sit back and watch you besiege the Holy Mountain, but they will not tolerate you destroying the Holy See.

There is not much time left for you. Once the Anti-French Alliance takes action, the help you can provide domestically will be greatly reduced.

Instead of wasting time here, it is better to change the idea, directly surround the point to provide reinforcements, and first destroy the enemy's Warcraft Legion that has rushed back in advance.

Then they gave up the siege of the Holy Mountain and directly attacked the entire army in all directions to destroy the basis of the Holy See's rule on the peninsula. "

Robert responded with a smile.

The battle plan was naturally provided to him by Hudson. Although I did not participate in this operation, there is still no problem in sponsoring an idea.

The main purpose this time is to test the Lord of Dawn. Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that the plan has failed.

Even though the angels have been corrupted, there is still no reaction from the gods. This is completely contrary to common sense.

Of course, it’s a good thing that the fish didn’t take the bait. Without the support of the gods, the Holy See would be just an ordinary human power.

It's just that this big force has a deep foundation and is very difficult to deal with them.

If it weren't for the fact that the top leaders of the Holy See were ignorant of military affairs and used political tactics to command the army, they would never have suffered such a miserable defeat.

In a purely defensive battle, both sides are fighting for hard power, and the requirements for officers' command capabilities are relatively low.

The Holy See army, supported by faith, was still willing to fight tooth and nail when guarding the Holy Mountain.

After a slight hesitation, and seeing that no one had any different opinions, Marquis Sunil nodded slightly.

This combat plan is slightly different from the original plan, but it is generally consistent.

Destroying the Holy See in one fell swoop is just a beautiful fantasy. Even after occupying the Holy Mountain, the main force of their army is still there.

Once entangled, the hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands will definitely not be able to withstand them.

The most important thing is that this war is not a one-on-one battle. The Frank Empire faces too many enemies, and the Holy See is just one of them.

The Anti-French Alliance wants both them and the Holy See to suffer losses, but they will never watch them destroy the Holy See.

Once the Holy Mountain is conquered, the climax of the anti-French war will come. At that time, not only will the country be unable to provide him with support, but it will also have to mobilize troops from the front line to return home.

In contrast, deliberately creating the appearance of fighting hard in the Papal States can buy time for the country.

It is difficult to defeat the anti-French alliance militarily, but it is much easier to dismantle it politically from within.

Outside the battlefield, there is an invisible war that is fiercely unfolding at this moment.

…

With the joint efforts of all parties, news of the Battle of the Holy Mountain quickly spread throughout the continent.

The "fallen angels" that appeared on the battlefield were taken out and interpreted in all aspects by those who were interested.

Even the inside story of the angel's arrival was pulled out. Countless followers of the Lord of the Dawn have expressed doubts about the results announced by the outside world.

Then, the angel's arrival in the Vatican was completely videotaped. The cruel methods used in the sacrifice process and the fall of angels have impacted the hearts of countless believers.

After receiving the news, after watching the video, Hudson could only sigh: "The world is as black as crows"!

It's fundamentally bad. No wonder the Holy See used such cruel methods of rule when it spread across the continent hundreds of years ago.

It is natural that the dignitaries of various countries are not interested in the Holy See. After seeing the true nature of the Holy See, it would be difficult for anyone to have a favorable impression of them.

If faith had not helped maintain rule, I am afraid that nobles everywhere would have gone even further in opposing the Holy See.

Affected by the information in his hand, Hudson no longer had expectations for the legendary Lord of the Morning.

Maybe in ancient times, this person was no different from other evil gods. He only achieved his current status because of his victory in the war of faith.

Come to think of it, it didn't surprise Hudson. Humans and gods are not of the same kind. They look at problems from different angles, so naturally they cannot judge based on the same concepts.

Perhaps the relationship between humans and the Lord of the Morning is like the relationship between bees and beekeepers.

As long as beekeepers harvest honey regularly, the life and death of the bees does not matter. Anyway, if a group of bees dies, new bees will replace it.

If they reproduce too quickly, bee pupae can also be put on the dinner table.

"Marshal, reinforcements from various places have arrived one after another. Can you see?"

Jose's words brought Hudson out of his thoughts.

Compared with the relationship between gods and humans, the war at this moment is what he needs to face most.

"knew!

The order was passed on to discuss military deployment and strategies to defeat the enemy in the camp tomorrow, and the generals above the corps commander were ordered to attend on time. "

…

In the Emerald Palace, Caesar IV, who also received the news of the Battle of the Holy Mountain, said three "pity"s in a row.

It was obvious that he was not satisfied with the final result. After making such a big movement, they still failed to break through the Holy Mountain. It will be even more difficult to capture the Holy Mountain later.

Some mistakes only need to be made once!

As long as the senior leaders of the Holy See are not stupid, they will strengthen the defense of the Holy Mountain in the future. No matter how stupid they are, no one will put gold-plated teachings on the core lifeblood of the N generation.

This crisis is mainly due to the failure of coastal defense. If the defenders of Port Saintes could hold on for a few more days, the situation of the battle would be completely changed.

"Your Majesty, although the Holy See escaped, the majesty they accumulated after this battle has been almost defeated.

Especially the angel summoning, which actually summoned a group of fallen angels, was enough for them.

It is said that in the battle that day, seven cardinals alone died, and even the director of the Inquisition died in the chaos.

You must know that this person is a strong man in the holy realm!

I remember that the last time a strong man in the Holy Domain was killed was more than three hundred years ago.

What’s even funnier is: the person who killed him was summoned by the Holy See itself! "

Marquis Omar said gloatingly.

As a close confidant of Caesar IV, he had just been promoted to the high position of Foreign Minister. It was the time when he needed to perform.

However, given the current situation on the mainland, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs cannot say that it is useless, but there is really not much room for maneuver.

This is the sequelae of his predecessor being too capable. All the tasks that were simple, easy to do, and easy to produce results were done by him.

The rest of the work is a hot potato that cannot be done.

Even with the support of the king, Marquis Omar did not dare to change his course, change the kingdom's diplomatic policy, or even criticize him.

After all, the former Foreign Minister is still active in the court and has been promoted to the high position of Finance Minister.

The Marquis of Omar, whose foothold is not yet stable, is not yet capable of starting a political factional struggle. Especially when orcs invade like this, the risk of messing around is even greater.

"You just know how to talk!

However, the Holy See's losses this time are indeed not small. Before the war was over, nearly half of their top management had been replaced.

By analogy, it can also be determined that their masters must have suffered a lot. These are all accumulated over time, and it will never be a matter of a day or two to make up for it.

Exchanging ordinary elites for the Holy See's heritage, this battle is worth fighting! If the orcs hadn't caused trouble, we would have stepped in and would have definitely made Pius VII vomit blood.

Now it depends on the determination of the Franks. If they continue to fight, the losses of the Holy See will definitely continue to increase! "

Caesar IV said with a smile.

Good moods are all brought out. In the same battle, he was much more relaxed than Pius VII.

Others are the pope and have to go to the front line to fight, but he, the king, can just eat in the palace.

"Not interfering in military affairs is the greatest support for the front line!"

Although this sounds a bit harsh, the more you hear it, the more you get used to it.

Seeing the embarrassment of Pius VII, Caesar IV suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with meddling less.

…

The Papal State, the Warcraft Legion that was soaring all the way, finally entered the country, even one day earlier than expected.

Twenty thousand terrain dragons ran all the way, and the ground shook as they ran. When the army crossed the border, there was a mess along the way.

Countless farmland crops were trampled by the Terrain Dragon, and their harvests were directly reduced to nothing.

These are all minor problems. Soldiers are valuable and quick on the battlefield. Rushing back home to join the war as soon as possible is the right way.

Suddenly seeing birds circling in front of him, the experienced commander of the Drazen Army suddenly reined in the reins and ordered to the guards: "Give me the order to stop advancing!

Let the flying dragon take off to check it out, remember not to get too close. "

Such prudent instructions are completely based on lessons learned from previous losses.

After the Battle of the Holy Mountain started, in order to support the Holy Mountain as soon as possible, the flying dragon cavalry had returned first.

It is precisely because of the air force's efforts to entangle the enemy at all costs that the Holy Mountain can remain safe and sound.

It's just that with the main force of the air force leaving, Drazen's available flying dragon cavalry is very limited. After this change was discovered by the enemy, it was quickly blocked by the enemy.

Many flying dragon cavalry encountered enemies during patrols and unfortunately died on the battlefield.

The flying dragon cavalry in Drazen's hands is now the last aerial force in the army. If we continue to lose more, we can only use the eighth-level experts as spies.

Just think about this kind of thing. Strong people all have their own dignity. If he dares to let an eighth-level strong man act as a detective, he, the coach, will be slapped when he goes out.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

A hail of arrows shot out from the woods and fell directly into the army. No one needed to remind them. At this moment, everyone knew they were under enemy attack.

On his own territory, he was almost ambushed by the enemy, and Drazen was also very angry.

"Put up your shields and attack with the whole army!"

Drazen also has the capital to dare to face difficulties. With these 20,000 terrain dragoons, they will not be afraid even if they encounter 100,000 enemy troops.

The elite are the elite. After a brief moment of confusion, they immediately reacted. Form a military formation in the shortest possible time and advance forward.

Seeing this scene, Marquis Sunil, who was hiding in the woods, smiled slightly and immediately ordered: "Evacuate!"

Obviously, this is not the first time this kind of sneak attack has happened.

Just like the countless sneak attacks before, he used a magic crossbow to sneak attack, and then immediately escaped into the depths of the mountain forest. The enemy was in a hurry and had no way of pursuing them in depth.

The difference is that before, the troops were led by generals, but this time it was Marquis Sunil who came in person.

If his identity were known, the enemy would immediately be aware of approaching danger. After all, where the coach hangs out is usually where the main force is located.

Realizing that it was an old trick, Drazen slapped the big tree in front of him with his accumulated anger, splitting it into two in an instant, and ordered angrily:

"Chase me!

There are no mountains here. I don’t believe how far these little brats can run! "

The order was given, and in the blink of an eye, the army entered the woods. Just as he was about to bite his enemy, the earth suddenly trembled.

"Fell into a trap!"

When I realized this, it was too late. The original military formation had been scattered from the moment they entered the forest.

Warcraft cavalry can naturally fight in the mountains and forests, but compared to the plains, their combat effectiveness is not weakened at all.

Reminiscent of the sneak attacks they encountered along the way, the enemy's series of layouts were clearly intended to lead them into an unsuitable battlefield.

Before Drazen could react, the forest had changed. Countless undead creatures emerged from under their feet and fought with the terrain dragoons.

"Don't get entangled with these undead creatures, rush out quickly!"

Drazen ordered hurriedly.

His instinct told him that if he delayed it any longer, something big would happen.
