Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

Chapter 492 The Strange Priest

After using five magic power cannons to bombard the Lanjing City gate, a special combat team composed of blood warriors quickly climbed onto the city wall. The alchemy soldiers and revolvers cooperated with the effort and hundreds of defenders stationed on the city wall. Defeat directly.

After occupying the city wall, the main combat troops began to enter the city in an orderly manner under the cover of a floating airship. Several high-explosive bombs hit the Blue Brave Knights' garrison, the Duke's Mansion and the silver casting workshop with obviously flying the flag of the Grand Duke on the border. It took them a moment to sink into a sea of ​​fire in a violent explosion.

Several cavalrymen rushed out of the narrow streets and alleys, trying to prevent the Northern Army from advancing into the city, but urban combat was obviously not a comfortable area for cavalry operations. The road that could only accommodate five or six knights side by side made the team crowded and became perfect. The living target... only requires three or four rounds of rifles to fire, so these fearless knights did not even have the chance to swing their swords, and they were shot and killed on the streets.

But the accumulated enemies and horse corpses still blocked the road to a certain extent, delaying the advancement of the Northern Army a lot. Pierce keenly realized that Duke Carlo was using the lives of his knights to fight for himself to escape. time.

"Commander, we found a team of light cavalry leaving the city from the South Gate and heading towards Maple Leaf City, the capital of Buckley... without emblem flags, I'm not sure if it's Duke Carlo."

Pierce waved his hand and said indifferently: "It should be him, but he is very self-aware. Once he finds that he cannot resist our attack, he can decisively order the city to escape when the city breaks, which is smarter than most of the stupid nobles who resist stubbornly."

They had no intention of doing anything to Duke Carlo. After all, no matter what, they were fiefs of neighboring countries. According to convention, when the two countries fought, they could not kill the nobles for no reason. If they caught them alive, they would only get a generous ransom.

The main purpose of their trip was the property and food that the duke left in his fiefdom.

"After controlling the Duke's Mansion, block all areas such as the castle granary, underground treasure house, and cavalry garrison that store war materials. Try not to disturb the local people. After nightfall, we began to collect the materials and quickly transport them out of the city."

Pierce was ordering the next action plan when he suddenly heard a commotion coming from the front. Some soldiers suddenly screamed, and some were shouting something...

"What happened?" he asked with a frown.

Battalion Commander Vaughan, who had been fighting side by side with the soldiers, trotted over and said breathlessly: "Commander, ahead is the cathedral built by the church in Lanjing City. We originally planned to attack directly and arrest and drive away the priests... But Those civilian believers actually blocked the door with no chance, and unarmedly pushed their chests under the guns of the soldiers."

The Northern Army has always strictly required soldiers to avoid killing civilians during combat. In such a bad situation, most soldiers were at a loss. Although they still kept the orders and did not take a step forward in the church door. He was in a confrontation, but without the commander's order, no one dared to pull the trigger at will and fired the first shot to kill civilians.

Pierce understood the situation and raised his hand and ordered: "The whole army stopped advancing and surrounded the church and was on the spot to be alert!"

The soldiers immediately got orders and uniformly changed the formation, divided into two teams to block the front and rear gates of the church. A group of snipers even climbed to the heights of nearby buildings and set up sniper rifles through the huge window edge of the church. Aim at the church people trapped in it.

"The combat priest and the blood knight both escorted Grand Duke Carlo to escape from the city... Those who stayed in the cathedral were all priests with no combat power, as well as some ordinary monks and priests."

Pierce curled his lips and remembered Harvey's advice before leaving - facing non-combat clergy in the church, there is no need to use too extreme means to deal with it, and just destroy the church facilities and drive them away directly.

The church is also a wealthy man. It is impossible for a long time to operate a wealthy city like Lanjing City. It is impossible for him to accumulate a large amount of wealth. Although Pierce planned to let him go, he did not plan to let him go.

"They were too hypocritical and shameless to use the flesh and blood of ordinary civilians as shields to block us. They sent someone to give them an ultimatum to disperse the people from the church. I can guarantee that I will not harm any priest."

Before he finished speaking, the huge door of the church suddenly opened, and several priests in pure white robes walked out of it, crossed the believers who were piously guarding outside the church gate, and walked towards the direction of the northern army.

The alert soldier raised his gun mercilessly, pointed it at the church priest who walked in front of him, and shouted loudly: "Go ahead and we will shoot immediately!"

The priest in the head lifted up the hood that covered his head, revealing his old face and gray and sparse hair and beard, and whispered toward the position where Pierce was standing: "We ask for the supreme commander of the army!"

Pierce did not intend to have a close conversation with them, and said aloud aloud a dozen meters away, "I am the commander, what do you have to say?"

The old priest took out an emblem-like thing from his arms and handed it to the soldiers beside him, saying loudly: "In the country of St. Valen... we are no longer allowed to openly operate. If you want to contact you, you will only have the same thing as you are now. Opportunity…We have a letter from the Holy City, written by the Pope Thirteenth himself to your Lord’s Lord.”

Pierce was stunned and sneered, "A letter to the Lord of the City? Why don't I know that the Lord of the City and your Pope are so harmonious that they can have letters."

The battalion commander Wayne, who was standing beside him, spoke mercilessly and mocked him unscrupulously, "What? After we destroyed a built-in Judgment Knights outside Jinhui City, the Pope finally remembered to write a letter to our city lord. ? ”

"Want to take the initiative to seek peace? How much war losses are Gores going to compensate?"

Several priests looked pale, obviously suppressing their anger but did not dare to do anything. Instead, the old priest in the head was unmoved and whispered: "Please let go of the past for the time being, the letter under the Pope's crown involved An extremely important secret is of great importance and cannot be missed. I came from Gores and planned to go to the north of St. Valen by Buckley..."

He paused and added: "If you can promise to deliver the letters smoothly, we are willing to unconditionally disperse the believers who block here, and all the property in the church can be taken, and we will not resist at all."

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

Pierce curled his lips and raised his hand and said, "Do it! Get the letter!"

Several young priests slowly retreated, leaving only the old priests hunched over and stayed in place.

"Where is your faith?" Pierce frowned and asked in confusion.

The old priest raised his finger and pointed at himself, and slowly said, "I just believe... This is the oral order of the Pope's crown. Except for the lord of the North, he must not be easily known by a third person, so... I'll let you go Send me to the North.”
