217. Interception
After Sophocles agreed to assist the Holy See's combat forces in intercepting the Satanic Contractors and trying to kill them, the group was treated even better. But the person in charge of receiving them was no longer the one who belonged to the Inquisition. Barnes was about to take part in the preparations for the war, and entrusted the reception of them to the heads of the Messenger Office in Rome, who had been in charge of dealing with the secular world, and was no stranger to extravagance and pleasure, and whose energy in this area was not to be underestimated. It's just that apart from the fact that the druids are still a little interested in food, they don't seem to have much of a feeling for anything else.
Several people in charge of the communication office were a little apprehensive, when they learned of the great strength of these druids and especially the importance of the Holy See now, several people in charge were ready to do their best, even if they made exaggerated and exaggerated requests, their "sense of mission" even became a little neurotic.
When they switched TV stations in boredom, Zuo Lin and Jill didn't know how to start making a few jokes with each other about which model was more beautiful, the host and the model who appeared in the sports program, and the person in charge of the messenger office on the side vaguely said that they had a good relationship with the two beauties, and asked them if they needed to ask the two beauties out to arrange some activities...... It's almost the same as pimping the druids looking at each other, but their jokes are only verbal, and they are only going to stay verbal. Zuo Lin is not a good person, and Jill with a rough appearance can be called a model husband.
The Holy See's preparations for the Great War did not take place in Italy. Perhaps realizing that their organization was always in the open and not conducive to concealment, they scattered all their preparations across the various countries of Europe, only to be gathered at the end of the decisive battle. The orderly control of the Holy See, which was evident in such a complex work, really made Zorin and Sophocles, who had to take on some of the responsibilities of the Druid Council, sigh at it.
Preparations that had been in full swing were required to speed up due to Sophocles' agreement to join the battle, and within 60 hours of the agreement between the Holy See and the druids, everything was ready. When the commander-in-chief, Cardinal Merdonco, ordered an all-out counterattack, it was as if the wind in Europe against the Holy See had suddenly changed. One by one, clergy hidden in the crowd and considered harmless to humans and animals appeared in churches, in messengers and monasteries that might be disturbed by the guys of the Dark Council, and in residential communities with a high probability of being believers.
Originally, the Dark Council was able to make the Holy See exhausted, relying on seizing the opportunity. Relying on rapid attacks and retreats, it is always possible to attack unsuspecting places and people. The Holy See thus dispersed the combat-ready manpower, and although some of them were inevitably included in the casualty statistics after a bitter battle due to their dispersion, the movement of the several teams that the Dark Council had launched attacks outside was slowed down. These priests, who gave with their lives, were like a handful of sand thrown into a machine that was working smoothly.
Not only that, but the priests who volunteered for this mission were usually good people in their communities and dioceses. Ordinary people did not know who killed and injured these priests, but only thought that they were anti-religious extremists, and the Holy See did not contribute to the trouble, and the cháo water-like protest of the ordinary residents against the zhèng fǔ and jǐng inspection organs alone put the Holy See in a favorable position to be sympathized with and forgiven at this time. When the Pope and several cardinals visited several countries and explained to the leaders of several countries the situation facing the Holy See and its scruples about using its power to hinder secular society, there was a general understanding. Considering the very bad effects of the recent turmoil in the Dark Council, everyone said that the Holy See could act as it pleased.
The time is ripe.
Merdon didn't even hide any of these things from a few druids. When the call for instructions came to him, he never shied away, basically answering the phone in front of the druids and giving instructions. Medunko's move is not only a sign of the Holy See's intimacy with the Druids' desire to destroy the Dark Council, but also to show the druids another point: the Holy See's thousand-year legacy is not a blessing. However, Medunko's attempt to provoke the behavior of the druids was like a mud cow entering the sea, and it did not cause any waves at all. Whether it was Sophocles or Zuo Lin, they all faintly heard these things, and even their expressions did not change.
After receiving the tacit approval of the actions of the various countries, the paladins went out. With the Dark Council's battle team not functioning well, the paladins finally have a chance to go up and beat them up. These are those who are destined to be groomed into fighting machines of the Holy See almost from birth. Firm in faith and superb in warfare. Of course, the modern paladins are not the same as in the past, wearing heavy armor and holding the Shiyu sword, wearing a dark gray sè suit, with a black sè hard-collared shirt inside, the little white sè on the neckline and the cross embroidered with silver thread on the suit pocket on the chest vaguely indicate their identity. When they don't want to be discovered, they can move in the crowd as long as they put on a regular shirt or tie and cover the coat of arms on their chests in any way. In battle, they wield spears in one hand and swords in the other, using blessed bullets to destroy distant enemies, and slashing approaching opponents with daggers impregnated in holy incense oil. Even if they lose their weapons, their ** is also very strong, and their fighting skills are superb, and what is even more commendable is that as long as they enter the combat state, they will emit holy white light from their bodies, like angels, and at the same time, they can not force their eyes at the same time, they also eliminate the influence of all kinds of low-level toxins, curses and slight spell fluctuations, as for things like jīng god magic, the effect is even more negligible. The psychology of these people is not ordinary hard and tenacious, perhaps there have been paladins who have been shaken in battle before, and like the American ** team that is now looking for people to beat all day long, the Holy See has also been plagued by war syndrome and post-traumatic syndrome. However, for the paladins who already had the fear of God, and the knights who were prepared, these problems had long been solved.
The paladins led the other clergy and reserve knights to fight continuously, and after a few battles, the Dark Council finally became a little overwhelmed. The Holy See combat force led by the paladin is about the same number as the detachment of the Dark Council, with a dozen or twenty at most. But once they face each other, it is often the Holy See's combat forces that pay no more than 3 casualties to completely annihilate the Dark Council's squad. Although it is much more difficult to train a reserve knight, a priest or something, than to create a werewolf from the Dark Council, it cannot withstand such attrition.
What made the Dark Council even more depressed was that although he did not serve in the Holy See, Konstantin, the "Demon Walker" who had been working closely with the Holy See, also took action. Konstantin and the so-called Demon Hunter team attacked the Dark Council even harder, because they asked the Holy See for money based on the number of members of the Dark Council at all levels killed, and Konstantin's ruthlessness was fully reflected in his honoraria figures: 3 days, 11 million euros.
After curbing the arrogance of the Dark Council, the various people of the Holy See began to enter Eastern Europe one after another, entering the headquarters of the Dark Council, and clearly preparing for a decisive battle. All special forces organizations have a special characteristic, and that is that as long as they have a headquarters for some purpose, they will be very serious about running and protecting the place. It is not only a symbol of the organization, but also the final refuge. For organizations like the Holy See and the Dark Council, which haven't changed the location of their headquarters for almost a thousand years, the location of the headquarters may have mysteries in every inch of land. Although the members of the Dark Council did not know why the Holy See had the audacity to attack the headquarters of the Dark Council, members of the Dark Council from all walks of life had quietly gathered around several ancient castles in Romania.
Medunko took the druids and the jīngying of the Holy See's Inquisition, who was scheduled to intercept the satanic contractor Nirje, to a small town, where he was safely stationed, setting up a large number of sentry posts around it, and setting up high-powered radio and satellite dishes...... In short, a small, but fully functional command was formed.
Medunko had already explained everything that needed to be arranged, and in the event of a war, he would never interfere with the judgment of the bishops in charge of the command in all directions, and all that this team had to do was to accurately intercept the high-ranking people of Nirje and the Dark Council who were bound to flee together without affecting either side.
"Why are you so sure that Nirje will definitely go in this direction?" Zuo Lin was puzzled.
"Actually, I could have chosen any small town, and all things considered, I still chose this place. It is sparsely populated, and, within the control of the Dark Council, it is one of the very few places where the majority of its inhabitants still have God in their hearts. Although, there are less than 20 in the town, Dunke said, "Nirje is powerful, but the people around him are not." For the safety of his men, he had to choose a safe path to retreat, or, if he felt safe. Isn't there a saying in China's art of war that since ancient times? I left this passage for Nirje, and I couldn't help but let him not go. ”
Medunke does not exaggerate his understanding of Nirje, and indeed, this is the most reasonable way to do it, and it is the only way to guarantee it. In this town, there is an unusually strange concentration of 6 cardinals, 4 cardinals, 18 archbishops, 6 paladins, 90 reserve knights, 65 priests with good ability, and 55 warriors of the Holy See Guard, who are good at the use of weapons and communication equipment, although they do not have holy powers. Coupled with the 9 druids including Sophocles and Zorin, there is also a team of 6 druids and Konstantin and the 12-person demon hunter detachment directly under him, if he can't do his best, it can only be said that it is providential.
