Chapter 260: The Temple of Light in Action
"This is a righteous conspiracy, Ithrod... It's not easy!"
After not saying anything, Grand Pope Sebastian spoke, and the papal hall, which was originally as noisy as a vegetable market, instantly fell silent.
"We need a huge power of faith, not only to restore our strength, but also to welcome back the God of Light, so there is no need to discuss this matter too much, we have no choice but to agree!"
As soon as the archpope Sebastian opened his mouth, he made a final decision, and directly locked the matter to death, without the slightest leeway.
As soon as Sebastian spoke, it was decided at this time, and then the next thing to discuss could change from disagreement to how to implement it.
Even Gregory, who disagreed just now, joined the follow-up discussion, although Gregory did not agree with this matter, but he also sincerely considered for the Temple of Light, and now that the Great Pope has been decided, then do so, he does not dare to question the decision of the Grand Pope Sebastian.
The result was quickly taken out, and the next thing was bargaining, but because Ithrod grabbed the heart of the Temple of Light and ate it to death, without giving in at all, the Temple of Light could only be slaughtered for the sake of the power of faith.
In this way, in a "cordial and friendly" atmosphere, during the negotiation process of "you love me", the contract was signed between the two houses.
On that day, the Temple of Light sent a Knights Templar of 500,000, consisting of an archbishop, two bishops of purple gold, fifty cardinals, and a number of sacrificial lavish line-ups, in accordance with the terms of Isrod, in order to show the sincerity of cooperation, to help the Elemental Empire destroy the scourge of the undead, the army of skeletons!
Ithrod, who got the news, smiled with satisfaction, obviously he had expected this scene for a long time, and he asked himself, he knew too much about the needs of those god sticks.
The cards in the hand have been used, and this time it can be said that it is a sure win, killing two birds with one stone.
On the other side, the Elemental Empire Frontier.
After all the 100,000 Holy Cavalry were killed, the city lords of the frontier cities of the Elemental Empire instantly fell into fear, which... This elite legion sent by the military department was wiped out so easily, how could their group of people have much resistance?
Helplessly, all the cities are on the path of the enemy's advance, and it cannot be said that even the people with the long legs of the city ran away, and they couldn't move, but they couldn't sit still.
The city lords of Zhucheng can only save themselves when the parliament has not come up with a solution and the Senate is silent.
Relying on their respective connections, they turned to the surrounding garrisons for help, hoping to get help from the garrison.
The system of the Elemental Empire is different from that of the Xianwu Empire, they will not be like the Xianwu Empire, arranging a large number of defenders in each city, or stationing the exclusive army of each city around, but having one military castle after another, if the major cities are the flesh and blood organization of the giant of the Elemental Empire, then the military castle is the bone that supports these flesh and blood, and they mix and match with the major cities, and the itinerary is unique to the military-civilian coordination.
Requests for help from the surrounding military castles were quickly answered, and a total of five castles around them, combined to form an army of half a million people, stationed in the city of Rein.
And the skeleton army also picks on places with a lot of people, such as those cities that are weak in defense and easy to capture, but do not go, and go straight to the cities where the elite army is stationed.
Rather than rashly attacking the city and constantly slaughtering civilians, thus angering the Elemental Empire, such a thankless task, Anlut prefers to destroy the Elemental Empire's army and other living forces as much as possible, so as to achieve the goal of weakening the enemy and strengthening himself.
Anyway, according to that one's orders, he doesn't need to occupy or destroy many cities, kill many people, he just needs to give the Elemental Empire enough threats, around this goal, play freely, what methods and strategies are used, it doesn't matter, that one only needs the result!
The 500,000 Elemental Empire army is a great opportunity for Anrut to increase the strength of the skeleton army, stepping on the corpse of this human army, then the majesty of the necromancer and the great power of the skeleton army are revealed in this world.
If it weren't for the fact that the 500,000-strong army was converted into skeletons, Anlut would have broken the city a long time ago, so why not besiege it?
After the 500,000 troops broke through the array of the skeleton army and entered the city, the skeleton army entered the rectification for a day and finally began to launch a formal attack!
"Damn it, this abominable Legion of Bones is disgusting!"
A man in the armor of a general stood on the city wall, looking at the array of skeleton armies that were ready to be launched not far away.
"General Capone, before you came, we had been holding out for seven days, but the strange thing is that these seven days were quite easy, not too difficult to guard, this needs to be careful, the head of this legion has wisdom, maybe he is planning something!"
The city lord of Rein City said in a deep voice, for the unhurried offensive, his head was full of questions, asking himself if he was the leading general on the opposite side, he would definitely take advantage of the weak defense to step up the attack, and strive to take the city before the reinforcements arrived, or directly attack other cities, instead of delaying time here without hurry, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements, and going all out to attack a fortified city that is countless times more difficult to fight.
I don't know what the head of the enemy army is having, anyway, General Capone led 500,000 elite garrisons to come, and the confidence of the lord of Rein City doubled, the soldiers came to block, and the water came to cover the earth, no matter what the plan, in the face of absolute strength, it was useless.
Early the next morning, the army of skeletons began to attack the city, and rows of skeletons armed with shields and broadswords slowly advanced.
Led the skeleton army into the range of bows and arrows, and one after another flaming feathered arrows were fired, covering the sky and the sun, like a rain of fire falling, rhythmically suppressing the advance of the skeleton army.
The skeleton army that has broken through several cities and absorbed the defenders of several cities has long been different from what it used to be, and in the battles again and again, countless skeletons have changed from skeleton soldiers who can only charge blindly to skeleton veterans with rich combat experience, which makes this skeleton army soar.
Although the skeleton army is the best cannon fodder under the necromancer Anlut, it does not mean that its strength is not strong, the skeleton army has a complete skeleton promotion system, each skeleton will absorb the power of the soul through fighting and killing the enemy, improve their soul fire, and enhance their strength.
In addition, the skeleton army can also absorb various powers generated by the soul of living beings between heaven and earth, such as resentment, murderous energy, and evil energy, to improve their own strength, and the skeleton army is not only the best cannon fodder, but also the cradle of the strong.
After several battles, the skeleton army instinctively raised the shield in its hand, which already had the foundation of human training, and tacitly cooperated with the skeleton warriors around them to defend against this endless rain of rockets!
However, these garrisons are not vegetarians, they are different from the defenders in the various cities, that is, the armed JX, they are elite garrisons that have undergone rigorous military training, and the continuous rain of arrows suppresses the advance of the skeleton army, and next to the archers, there are mages who follow the army.
Judging from the battle in the past few days and experience, these white bone armies are more afraid of fire and light and can restrain them, so all the fire and light magicians stepped forward and prepared to make a big one.
