Chapter 70: The Origin

The fiasco of humanity is irreparable. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Within a radius of more than ten kilometers of the battlefield, the firelight and magic light sources that helped humans illuminate were extinguished one by one. Only the flames of the captured human camp endured, but that represented the fall of the camp.
The remnants of humanity retreated northeast along the path of light feathers, and all the humans in other places fell into the encirclement of the undead army.
Depending on the situation, there will be no more than 10,000 survivors of this battle, and a few thousand of them will be brought out by the "Sage Wende" from the Divine Blessed City.
Prince Carlos Wright had just finished a futile charge and was leading the remaining knights to rest in a protective circle surrounded by infantry.
Although he couldn't scout the whole situation, he knew that he might not be able to make a breakthrough today.
He also witnessed the appearance of the "Sage" in the sky, and knew that the beginning of a path of light was near the party of his sister Anna, whom he had expected.
"It's a sister who only causes me trouble, but it would be nice if she could escape instead of me......"
Faced with an enemy with sheer numerical superiority surrounding him, Kalokos knew that no matter how much he used his tactics, he would not have any chance of winning.
And that path of light is too far away from itself.
But he methodically tightened the bandage on his waist that had begun to bleed again during the charge, covered the chain mail, fixed the plate armor, remounted his horse, and lifted a new cavalry spear.
Pretty much rested.
"Well, then, let's die in the middle of the charge."
The horn sounded.
The Knights of the Blue Lion Emblem began to charge again.

In an inconspicuous corner of the battlefield, there is a heavily protected military tent.
This is the tent of the Divine Blessed Garrison.
They don't seem to be caught up in the battle with the undead army, but again, they don't light the light either.
In the large tent in the center, in addition to the table with military maps and sand tables, there are also more than a dozen crystal balls that reflect the real-time battle situation on the battlefield.
The state of Kalokos' army is reflected in a magic crystal ball.
"The 'Prince of Tacticians' Kalokos, such a big name. So you're just that. β
The person who spoke was actually Priest Peter White.
The young man with the highest status in the empire, the fiancΓ© of Princess Elizabeth. The grandson of the Pope is always mentioned with an emphasis on his status.
However, the tactician prince was often mentioned for his abilities, so since he was a young man at an age when he liked to be competitive, Peter was naturally not convinced.
Isn't it because he has a father who is the first prince of the empire?
"So you're just a wasted name. How else would you die at my hands? β
Peter's tone was smug.
At this time, there were only two people in the tent, him and Captain Harris.
Captain Harris was a little embarrassed when he heard this.
In fact, it was Captain Harris himself who planned and implemented all the plans.
Peter was just a messenger of orders, a part-time overseer. Now he has taken all the credit for himself.
But Captain Harris was also a little helpless, after all, this was the object of his future allegiance.
Kalokos's intelligence was not wrong, Captain Harris was indeed a high-ranking military official of the Holy See. And it's the kind that is very core.
It's just that the Holy See, to be precise, the Pope himself, has already secretly controlled the remnants of the original Darkmoon Empire.
Recently, this lord has taken control of the undead of the Death Wilderness by some clever means.
Therefore, Captain Harris received an order to use these resources to cooperate with the plans of the Holy See Central Committee to carry out the Divine War.
Although Legion Commander Harris was very surprised when he heard these secrets, since he even told him this secret, it showed that in the eyes of His Majesty the Pope, he was already a real confidant, so he still happily planned the battle of divine blessing.
This battle is ostensibly a battle between the traitors of the Dark Moon Empire and the Imperial Army to be restored. In fact, it was a war in which the Papal forces wanted to wipe out the main nobles and armies of the royalists and princes.
Once successful, no force in the country will have the will or ability to stop His Holiness the Pope's hegemony.
By then, the lonely and sick Emperor would no longer even be a stumbling block.
Harris was in awe of the Pope's methods.
First, the royal family was paralyzed by marriage, and then this was used as an opportunity to provoke a struggle between the royalists and the princes. and lured the competitive Anna Wright to attack Castle Black, losing a large number of elites of the Eastern Domain. He also helped her mobilize the Divine Blessing Garrison, and at the same time let the necromancers of the controlled Dark Moon Empire capture the Divine Blessing City that she deliberately let out, so that the Eastern Feudal Kingdom made a big mistake, and had to try her best to send more troops to make up for it.
This time, not only did they have to lose a large number of allied nobles. Even the **** was planted.
According to the original plan, the main nobles of the royalist faction would also be wiped out this time.
These are the reasons behind a series of small actions of the papal aristocracy before the war.
The future Pope Peter White, despite his young age, has revealed his fierce and ruthless character. He was willing to give up the famous Princess Elizabeth Wright.
He doesn't want to be a colt, he doesn't want to be the first religious person in the future, he wants to be the most powerful person in the world.
So Harris feels that he will be groomed by His Majesty the Pope to be a real big man in the future.
Now that the plan has basically succeeded, His Holiness the Pope has really left no end in sight.
It's just that something went wrong, and the mysterious and powerful priest who suddenly appeared was the biggest surprise.
I am afraid that the princess herself, as well as some important targets, will escape with their lives because of the presence of this priest.
Although even if these people slip through the net, their power will not pose a threat to the great cause of His Majesty the Pope at all. At most, there will be a little more twists and turns.
But the miraculous magic gave Harris some foreboding.
The reason why he chose to take refuge in the Holy See was simply because of his religious beliefs.
If this mysterious priest really represents the will of God, doesn't he mean that the actions of his own people dislike the Father God, and he himself is also on the opposite side of the God of Light?
So he began to ask Peter what he thought about the matter.
"It's just an accident. Father God doesn't ...... for a long time," he seemed to feel that there was something wrong with what he was about to say, and he turned to it stiffly, and said, "My grandfather represents the will of the God of Light, so you don't have to worry about it. β
Seeing that Legion Commander Harris still hadn't completely let go, he changed the subject: "I'll leave tomorrow." This time the Dead Wilds seem to be stronger than expected, and my grandfather has instructed you to find out the true strength of Matt's men. He had also instructed the necromancers of the Darkmoon Empire to keep an eye on you as well, and you and your army were now our greatest counterweight to these evil dead. β
"By order of His Majesty the Pope."
Legion Commander Harris said nothing more, and said in a solemn voice.
"I'm afraid you don't have that chance."
The soft and lazy female voice came, and both of them were shocked.
They looked towards the source of the sound and saw a dozen ghosts and vampires gradually emerging from dark corners.
The leader is none other than the vampire lord Maria.
At this time, she stretched out her tongue and licked her blood-red lips, looking so sexy...... with danger. (To be continued.) )
