Chapter 200: Results
"Annihilation! What nonsense are you talking about!"
On the "Flying Grace", the main ship of the balloon airship fleet, the atmosphere was gloomy, like a storm approaching, and the knights of the Holy See in gorgeous armor and the priests and elders holding Bibles in their hands were all silent, eager to curl up in the shadows. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Only the herald knight, who had just finished reporting the latest battle situation, couldn't hide, and fell to his knees sweating like rain.
The supreme leader of the Knights of the Holy Fire, Archbishop St. John Louis's face turned pale, and with a snap, he smashed the heavy metal-edging holy book in his hand on the table, this simple action actually caused the entire flying ship to sink down suddenly, as if this metal-edging holy canon that was half a meter long and had a wall as thick weighed thousands of catties.
Immediately after discovering his gaffe, the cardinal prayed silently to confess his sins to the Lord of Light, and when he opened his eyes again, his face was much better.
"Tell me the details of this battle from the beginning, I don't want you to miss a single detail. ”
"Yes!" the herald knight didn't even bother to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly told everything he knew.
Half an hour later......
"So...... The vanguard elite of my Knights of the Holy Fire, nearly one-third of their troops, was wiped out in less than an hour and a half, and the opponents were only those four-legged savage heretics, and they were not as numerous as the multi-racial coalition we were chasing now. I think...... All I know now is what just happened, so there's nothing wrong with that, right?"
The herald knight nodded silently, the weight of which had nearly suffocated him. Fortunately, the Bishop did not seem to be immediately angry with him.
Although the Bishop completely regained his composure. But the fear felt by those around him continued unabated. This is not surprising, considering that the Knights of the Holy Fire are no better than other legions. Even if it is the lowest-level warrior recruit, there is a big deal behind him. A deep background that is not small to say small. Those backgrounds may become the strength of the Legion in normal times, but at other times, such as the appearance of the war dead, they can become a nuisance. If there are only a few troubles, it is nothing for the Knights of the Holy Fire with a long history and special status, after all, the Knights of the Holy Fire is a real army, not a nursery, a foster care base, and it is normal to kill a few people in a battle. But if there are casualties of a third of the total number. That's definitely not a trivial matter, because it wasn't the civilian mercenaries who lost the loss, but the real world nobles.
Even if the subsequent battle is smooth sailing, just the defeat of this battle is enough to make the Knights of the Holy Fire face the most severe accountability in history, and the Archbishop of St. Louis, as the direct person in charge, will inevitably become the "confession" given by the Holy See to those nobles, even if he will not be sent to the Inquisition with his noble status, but his future will end here. This is a recognition of the potential of this cardinal who was able to ascend to the position of cardinal before the age of fifty-five. The prospect of a candidate for the promotion to the top bishop is even more terrifying than being burned at the stake.
The Bishop still can't figure out how this battle could have been fought like this, according to the intelligence. Now those who remain on the Blood Blade Peak are obviously only some old, young, sick and disabled. This time, the heretical alliance that had its eyes on King Solomon's treasure was being chased and fled, and it was precisely for fear of unexpected casualties that the Bishop would send those recruits with the least combat experience to the Thousand Needles Canyon. I thought that they would smoothly accumulate combat exploits and valuable experience in relative safety, but I didn't expect them to be sent to death. As a result, it also affected himself. But by this time, regret has become useless. After all, even the texts of the Holy See of the Doctrine of Light clearly record that "time can never be set back half a step".
At this time, the Bishop picked up from the table again the book of the Warrior's Pagoda Shield, which was not much better than the Warrior's Pagoda Shield, as if begging for wisdom and guidance from the Supreme Lord, and after a moment, the Bishop exhaled softly and said: " In spite of the greatest defeat of our godly knights in that desecrated place, I have heard the voice of the Lord before, and there, in the Canyon of a Thousand Needles, there is nothing we are looking for, and we cannot afford to be blinded by hatred and anger and waste precious time in that place. ”
Cardinal Vasco da Gama, who had been plucking up courage for a long time, finally stood up and said with a hesitant expression: "Are we going to let that place go? And judging from the battle report, there should be quite a few people in the advance team who have survived and are waiting for our rescue......"
"We don't have time, dear Cardinal da Gama. The cardinal coldly interrupted his loyal subordinates, and said with a cold and cruel murderous intent flashing in his eyes......
"The blasphemous artifact left behind by Solomon, the great sinful, could appear at any time and place, and the one most likely to be the first to discover it is the group of blasphemers we are tracking down right now. If we turn around now and go to fight in the Thousand Needles Canyon, which is the exact opposite of us, if that evil artifact is unveiled at this time, then we will not be able to destroy it before the blasphemers, and that would disappoint the great Lord of Light and betray his trust, do you still think that we should turn the ship around and go to the filthy heretics to settle the score?"
"But......" The aged cardinal wanted to say something more, but was resolutely interrupted by the cardinal.
"Of course I know what I have to do, and I have never said that I will spare the heinous men who brutally murdered the Papal Knights, both physically and mentally, responsible for their ignorance and folly. All that is to them will be vanished in the light of the holy light of our Lord......"
Looking at the terrifying cruel flame contained in the cold ice in the cardinal's eyes, the old cardinal suddenly felt his soul trembling, he trembled his teeth, and shuddered: "Oh my God, my lord, you don't really want to do this, do you...... That's...... Too ......."

On the Bloodblade Peak, a grand moonlight celebration is taking place, which is a joyous tribute to the victory.
For the centaur warriors who had cowered on the heroic heights for a long time, this battle was like nectar after a long drought, so hearty. If there's one thing that's still unsatisfying, it's the hapless Pillars that have never landed an enemy, and the warriors stationed on them can only teach the bastards who dare to invade the Amazon with their less favourable ballistas.
It was an overwhelming victory, all the Knights of the Holy Fire who burst the airship balloon and fell into the abyss of the fallen canyon were all dead and alive, and those who were lucky enough to land on the top of the Pillar Peak were not much better, and what awaited them was the hungry Amazon warriors. Only those who are lucky enough and timid enough to kneel and abandon their weapons and surrender at the first sight of the enemy will have a chance of survival, after all, although the Amazon centaurs are thirsty for killing, they disdain to attack the unwarlike and combat-ready breeds.
There is no doubt that the Knights of the Holy Fire is not an army with courage and military spirit, so there are not a few prisoners captured in this battle, those handsome and beautiful boys and girls will become slaves or voodoo materials, and for the biggest hero of this war, the planner and commander of the war, and the strategic exporter who completely disrupted the enemy's formation, Goron also showed due generosity and generosity, in addition to the golden gold coins, Goron also obtained a hundred slaves, including the equipment they wore and the items they held, all belonged to Golon。
And most importantly, Goron also had the right to choose slaves first. Although the members of the Knights of the Holy Fire are all the children of nobles from well-to-do families, they are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the gap between a duke's concubine and a baron's concubine is not much smaller than the gap between nobles and commoners, or even more so. In the same way, even if all those who surrender are a group of cowardly people, there will be a difference between excellent qualifications and mediocrity. As for the appearance and figure of the slaves themselves, not to mention the level of equipment that matches them.
And Golon, who has the right to choose 100 slaves first, can be said to have more than half of the total booty income alone, which is absolutely impossible to happen in the wars of other races, after all, it is absolutely unacceptable for a soldier to pay for his life in a battle but not get the corresponding booty in the end. Only the Amazon Centaurs, a fighting people who regard the battle itself as the greatest reward and enjoyment, would despise their spoils of war in this way.
Goron's face looked very pale, as if he didn't care much about what had happened recently, even though he had just led a brilliant victory and acquired a large number of priceless prisoners of war slaves.
And that's exactly what happened, and Goron wasn't much happier, after all, he was only leading the Black Hand Ogre's old enemies to victory over some enemies that had little to do with himself. So where can he be excited......
Holding a wine glass carved from human bones, the drunken centaur Overseer swayed over to Goron, handed him the glass, and said, "Our god of war, believing that you can bring us victory is the most correct choice I have made recently. But there's one thing I'm still curious about......."
Goron took the glass, drank it all without thinking, and then casually responded, "What do you want to ask?"
"I just want to know why you know so much about the topography of Thousand Needles Canyon, and what you know about our Amazon centaur warehouse, you know exactly what's inside. (To be continued.) )
