"Defeated?"

In the Holy City, a golden-red saint-robed saint listened in disbelief to the news of his subordinates' report. ,!。

"The Faceless One has been defeated?" The Sage angrily slapped the armrest of the Holy White Stone Chair, and a shocking wave quickly spread, shaking the entire hall to tremble.

In the face of the wrath of the legendary sage, his subordinates sweated coldly, but they insisted on reporting the news completely.

"Yes, everyone present saw that the Faceless One was assassinated by a mysterious maiden, and the weapon used was suspected to be Bretonia's artifact, the Sword in the Stone."

"Sword in the Stone?" The Sage was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he was a little surprised, "How can it be a sword in the stone?" That's clearly ...... Well, go and report the news to the Prophet and Sage first, and be sure to ask for his opinion. ”

"No need, I already know the truth."

As he spoke, another golden-red sage walked into the hall, and as his footsteps fell, the tremors of the hall stabilized.

"Don't panic, the Faceless's defeat is not a bad thing for us."

This new Sage possesses a prophetic skill that is the envy of the Church, and he is able to see the future, and his position is the most revered among the five legendary Sages. When the master of the temple saw him coming, he hurriedly got up and saluted.

"What did the prophet teach?"

The Prophet said, "The failure of the Facelings is in variables. I sent him in, thinking that there was only one Bedwell against him...... Even if Rowan and Marina rebelled, he suppressed it. Unexpectedly, there were suddenly variables in Dragon City, whether it was the girl holding the sword in the stone, or the Kyushu people beside her, they were all variables that I had never seen before. But the emergence of variables made my dream clearer, and I finally determined the identity of the black dragon. ”

The Black Dragon of the Prophet's Dream is a nightmare hovering over the Holy Light Cult for hundreds of years. At this time, the prophet actually said that the identity of the black dragon had been decided, and it was immediately ecstatic.

"Already determined? So ......"

"It's the girl who assassinated the Faceless One, the daughter of the self-proclaimed Knight King."

"Is that her? Hmph, that's just the time to wipe out the remnants of this gang. The stakes are so high that it is better for you and me to take action ourselves, and we will not leave them a chance to breathe. ”

The Prophet and the Holy One said, "This is what I have come for, to ...... besides you and me."

Before he finished speaking, suddenly a servant ran outside the hall, looking hurried and panicked, and lost his temper.

The hall master said angrily, "What does it look like?

The servant fell to his knees with a pop: "I'm sorry, Sage. But I just received urgent news that the eastern front is in an emergency, and a group of Kyushu people have come to the Holy City together with the eastern city-states

"What?"

For the Holy Light Sect, the alliance of city-states in the east has always been a thorn in the side, and with the frequent exchanges between the eastern and western continents, the development of the eastern part is becoming more and more rapid...... For this reason, not long ago, they deliberately used nails to create contradictions between the two sides, but they did not expect the result but made the two sides hate the same enemy.

The Prophet Sage was also shocked, and among the five Legendary Sages, he was a strong supporter of provoking a wedge between Kyushu and the eastern city-states, because in the prophecy, there was no possibility of an alliance between the two. It is even more impossible to go to unite Ogmar, the capital of knowledge, to fight the idea of the Holy City

"Prophet ......," the hall master was stunned.

The prophet closed his eyes and muttered for a moment: "The Holy City is the foundation of the Church, and the dragon of destruction is not yet a climate, so let it go first and solve the crisis in front of you." However, I can't completely let it go, I think we can mobilize the Holy Knights who are guarding the western checkpoints. Then launch the Bretonian terrain to attack. With the remaining strength after the Battle of Dragon City, there is no possibility of sparing. At that time, even if you can't destroy the Knight King and the Sword in the Stone, you will destroy its foundation and make it a lost dog, and there will be no threat in the future. ”

"However, if the sword in the stone is genuine......"

"Hmph, what happened to the Barbarian Lord a hundred and fifty years ago? At that time, the barbarian lord was defeated and killed with ten times the superior force, and became a stepping stone for the knight king to reach the peak. We will send twenty times as many troops. Now the guards of Dragon City can only use two or three thousand soldiers, transfer some of the knights in the west, plus the surrounding forces, with 100,000 professionals as the core, it is enough to crush Dragon City, no matter how sharp the sword in the stone is, can it kill all 100,000 people? ”

"Okay, I see."

In the western part of the continent, at the entrance of the Savage Land, there is a solemn fortress, where the famous Bloody Paladins are stationed, with a huge legion of more than 30,000 professionals as the core, isolating all creatures in the Savage Land from the mainland, and can be said to be the guardian saint of civilization in the western part of the continent. It is also because of this merit that the Holy Light Sect can firmly establish its position as the first religion on the mainland.

Due to the importance of guarding the borders, the Knights of the Bloodshed were almost never mobilized, and the Order has grown and been deeply ingrained in it for generations. With the Cold Wind Fortress as the core, it even gradually spread out a small city. Many people who once lived in nearby villages chose to be closer to the Order's protection, and in exchange, they would also replenish the Order's daily necessities. At the same time, there were also some naturalized barbarian tribes settled here, and the Knights did not stop them.

In recent decades, the Blood Paladins have not had many combat missions, and life in the small towns surrounding the fortress has seemed to be comfortable. The training and actual combat of the core members of the Knights are concentrated in the west of the fortress and the border, which ordinary people do not see, and only feel that the overall peace of the past few decades seems to be eternal.

However, in the early morning of this day, the sleeping people suddenly woke up, and they felt the earth tremble slightly, and the sound of metal clashing one after another. Occasionally, there was a thick roaring command...... For the peace of the town shrouded in a layer of slaughter.

No one living here is completely unfamiliar with war, and the familiar atmosphere suddenly makes people wake up: war is coming?

In the middle of the town is a wide road, which is the road for the army of the Cold Wind Fortress to pass inland, although for decades, it is rare to see the Mad Blood Holy Knights walking, but no one usually dares to occupy that road, and the road has been maintained unobstructed, and other book friends are reading:. But at this time, people were surprised to see that the wide road had been filled with dense crowds, and the ranks of heavily armed berserk paladins had neatly emerged from the fortress and headed in the direction of the east. As far as the eye can see, there are no less than 1,000 follow-up troops, and there is a steady stream of follow-up troops

For decades, it was not uncommon for the Holy Light Sect to mobilize the Bloody Paladins on a small scale, but it mobilized dozens or hundreds of people at a time, and this kind of large-scale operation of thousands of people had never been seen before.

Eastern...... What the hell is going on?

"General, the mobilization of 20,000 troops and more than 5,000 professionals overnight, is this operation too hasty?"

In the middle of the formation, two knights with exceptionally bright armor talked in a low voice. One of them was the commander of the expeditionary force, one of the deputy commanders of the Berserk Knights, and the other was the deputy commander of the trip.

"The Holy City has issued an urgent conscription order, requiring the Knights to rush to Bretonia within five days at all costs, and join forces with the powerful local legions to encircle and suppress Dragon City, so even if the incident is hasty, there is nothing to be done."

"The terrain is strong? A group of rabble, it's lucky not to hold back, I'm afraid we still have to take action. Dragon City, but it's a fierce enemy. ”

"Don't worry too much, Dragon City has experienced a holy war before, and more than half of the casualties are left, and only a group of remnants are left. And although those rabble are unbearable, the numerical superiority is still there after all. According to the information sent by the church, there are nearly 100,000 professionals in the amount of power that the church can mobilize today, and although most of them are only low-level, they are also a force that cannot be ignored when used correctly. ”

"Hmph, it's a pity that the output of the Bright Archons has not been able to keep up, otherwise they would have used thousands of Archons to control them, and they would have rushed without fear of life and death, and they would have been piled up to death without our efforts at all."

"Don't think too pretty, maybe we'll be at the front when the time comes. However, if they were only facing a tired army, a single assault should be able to destroy their front. At that time, let those rabble follow behind and sweep in an all-out way, and a single battle can end the whole situation. ”

"However, one hundred and fifty years ago, the Knight King rode out on his own, slaying the eight witch doctors and the barbarian lord in front of the battle, leaving the enemy army leaderless. Let's not repeat the mistakes of the past. ”

"Don't worry, no one is stupid enough to slap them up."

The two commanders and deputy commanders talked as they walked, and during the march, they had gradually sketched out the next tactical framework. For the next war, they are confident.

Compared to the so-called Dragon City Guards who have been emasculated by the Holy Light Sect for a hundred years in Bretonia, these warriors who have been trained in countless battles in the western frontier are afraid that they can only be ten with one

Five days later, the Bloody Paladins crossed thousands of mountains and rivers at incredible speed, and appeared on the land of Bretonia.

During the march, the paladins could already clearly feel that there was an unusually oppressive atmosphere in the land of Bretonia, as if a storm was coming.

The deputy commander of the paladin pinched his nose and said impatiently: "A smell peculiar to lizards...... Hmph, sure enough, in the face of disaster, the insects are the most sensitive. After this battle, Bretonia will have to undergo a great purification, and I don't know how many people will die. ”

"It doesn't matter how many of these heretics of shallow faith die," said the commander. The Holy Light Cult has been in this place for a hundred years, and it has not developed many devout cultists, and it has to be transferred from other places to colonize, what a joke, I think this whole land has been polluted by heretical beliefs, and it is better to turn it into a barren land than to develop believers here, like a wasteland. ”

"It's a pity that Bretonia is also located in the hinterland of the continent, and large-scale purification is not realistic, but as long as the last force of resistance is defeated, although this land is vast, it will only be slaughtered."

The commander nodded: "That's right, that's the purpose of our trip...... Look, not far ahead is Dragon City, and other book friends are reading:. But why are there so many people outside the city? ”

The deputy head of the Holy Knights, the deputy commander of the expeditionary force, was a high-ranking and high-ranking professional, and his vision was very amazing, and he saw the situation outside Dragon City from a long distance. This city, which had just finished the Holy War, was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of legions at this time, and those legions came from hundreds of powerful forces around Dragon City, each under a different banner. Although the two sides did not fight, the two armies faced each other, and the atmosphere of slaughter was overwhelming.

The strength of the deputy commander was about the same, and he quickly saw the situation clearly, and couldn't help but smile: "This group of lackeys is really diligent, in just five days, so many people have responded to the call of the Holy City and participated in the battle to exterminate the Dragon City. It seems that after a hundred years, the influence of the knight king has also disappeared. ”

"Hmph, of course, it is impossible to disappear, if it is not for the ghost of the Knight King, how can the faith of our Holy Sect never spread? It's just that anyone with a brain should know that it is the instinct of a creature to follow an inexplicable little girl at this time and become an enemy of the Holy Light Sect

The deputy commander smiled: "The general is right. ”

These hundreds of thousands of troops gathered are not elite divisions full of fighting spirit, they are just a group of jackals and wild dogs, hundreds of thousands of people besiege the city but dare not attack, they have to wait for the arrival of the Bloody Holy Knights. Such a ragtag army, in the eyes of the paladin commander, is like sludge on the soles of shoes.

However, even if he despises it in his heart, after the war, these hundreds of thousands of people are still an indispensable help, especially since there are as many as 100,000 professionals, although most of them are barely stuck on the edge of professionals, but there are so many of them, they can work wonders when used properly.

According to the news from the Holy City, among these hundreds of thousands of people, there are three leading forces, which are the three largest cities around Dragon City, and they are also the three cities with the strongest penetration of the Holy Light Sect. And also according to the Holy City, as long as the Holy Knights pacify and control these three forces, the remaining hundreds of thousands of people will naturally respond.

When the Bloody Holy Knights approached Dragon City, three teams from the legions outside the city really split up to meet the Knights. The number of people in the team is small, but the momentum is obviously better than the surrounding miscellaneous cards, and it is obviously the personal guard of the city lord.

The chief and deputy commanders of the Holy Knights glanced at each other, and they all smiled helplessly. No matter how much you look down on them in your heart, now that you want to rely on other people's strength, you have to give face to others. The three city lords took the initiative to greet each other, so on their own side, of course, the chief and deputy commanders had to come forward.

For the sake of prudence, the two men left the army with fifty of the most elite men of the Order, and stood on an open hill. The procession of the three city lords made a detour and soon went up the mountain as well.

On the top of the mountain, the two commanders stood side by side, one on the left and one on the right, with cold expressions and extremely difficult to get close to. And the three later city lords put on disgusting smiles.

One of the city lords in the middle, obviously slightly superior to the other two, took the first step and said with a smile: "Two generals, we have been waiting for a long time. ”

The city lord was tall and strong, with a thick beard, and a majestic appearance, but the rigid smiling face, which was obviously deliberately put on, made him look funny.

"It's a great honor to be able to see the heroic posture of the two generals with my own eyes."

As he spoke, he stepped forward and stretched out an arm, as if to shake hands with the paladin.

However, the paladin commander has long been disgusted with these jackals and wild dogs, how can he shake hands with them? sneered, as if he didn't see the other party's flattering gesture.

Why give too many good faces when dealing with wild dogs? It is already a gift from the Light to be willing to come out and meet him alone. For creatures like these who are polluted by the bloodline of mongrel blood, mere survival is the original sin

However, the next moment, I saw that rigid and sluggish smiling face, and suddenly flashed a sharp gaze. And in his outstretched right hand, there is a sharp weapon that slowly changes from transparency to revealing shape. The next moment, a golden light flashed in front of him, and then the entire world realm fell into pitch black.

At the same time, the paladins present were horrified to see the boss's head flying high, and there was still incredulity in their eyes
