Chapter 753: The Holy War Army Assembles Again

I have to say that the Holy Sect Continent in recent years has been eventful, and what has happened in just over a decade has not necessarily happened in the past hundred years.

The imperial provocation of the Church, the three holy wars, the duel between nations and faiths, these are all things that affect the entire Lordian nation.

Knowing that the kingdom of Astra had fallen and that the enemy had an army of 400,000 men, everyone was stunned.

It was the mighty kingdom of Astra, the first power before the unification of the Rodran Empire, and it only lasted for more than ten days before it was destroyed by the enemy.

This made them worry about the combat effectiveness of the Norwids, according to the intelligence, they not only wanted to destroy the kingdom of Astra, but the entire Holy Religion Continent was among the targets of the other party.

In other words, the kingdom of Astra is just the beginning, and they want to destroy all the holy religion countries.

Although everyone felt absurd about this, they panicked in their hearts for no reason, after all, Astra's experience was here.

And according to intelligence, before the messenger departed, the Norvids had already rushed towards the two vassals of the kingdom of Astra, apparently trying to destroy them as well.

So far, in the northern country, there is Camelot, because the country is too small and there is a mountain barrier, so it has not been invaded by the Norvids.

The countries that are closer to the north are a little unable to sit still, and depending on this situation, after the other side destroys those countries, they will go south to destroy their country.

Therefore, these countries are also in a hurry, whether it is the Church, the Rodlan Empire, or the Kingdom of Lorik, they have become the target of their urging.

Hearing the news of King Leonac's death, William's heart was a little uncomfortable, this appearance did give him a lot of help at the beginning, and the follow-up cooperation between the two parties has been relatively pleasant.

There was a lot of communication between the two sides, but I didn't expect that the upright and funny elder would die at the hands of the enemy like this.

This made William feel a little melancholy, a wise king died so easily, and human life was so fragile.

William is thirty-eight years old this year, and he is about to enter the old age stage of this era, and in this era when the average life expectancy is less than thirty years old, it is very good to be able to live to the age of forty.

William sat in his chair as Wella walked in, stroking his blonde hair.

"Don't move!" Wella said suicidly: "This has a gray hair! I'll pull it off for you! ”

Then, William felt a slight tingling, and Wella had an extra silver-white hair in her hand.

William took the white hair from Wella's hand and silently began to lose his mind.

Over the years, it's like a dream, extremely fulfilling, but when you think about it carefully, what you did at the beginning is like a clear replay of a movie.

Even if he has always been extremely strong, he has a lot of gray hair on his head, yes, he is no longer young, he is already a person who even has grandchildren!

The young man who didn't have a single wrinkle on his face has become the middle-aged uncle who is now wrinkled.

Even the figure that has been maintained is slightly fat, and there is a thin layer of fat around the waist.

Twenty-two years have passed, and he has been in this world for twenty-two years, and if it weren't for the images that often appear in his dreams, he would have almost forgotten that he was from that world.

The imprint of the other world on him is getting shallower and lighter, and he is no different from the local people who were born and raised in the Holy Sect Continent.

Finally, after more than a month of consultation and research, both the Church and the Empire decided to send troops to fight the Norweeds who had crossed the sea.

After all, their threat to the Holy Cult World is too great, and there is already news that the Norwid people have moved south and appeared in countries close to the north.

Now, in addition to the countries of the Astra kingdom, one country has been destroyed.

News has been very slow in those days, and this was already a month ago, and maybe another country has been wiped out by now.

In July 1239, three months after the fall of the kingdom of Astra, the Church finally reached an agreement with the Holy Roderan Empire.

The war is about to spread to the middle of the continent, and the whole north is already in shambles, with a large number of villages burned and castles destroyed.

It has been more than three months since the Norvid landing, and five kingdoms and six independent principalities have been destroyed, and the scope of the impact directly covers the northern part of the continent, which is almost in the middle of the continent.

The Norvids had advanced to a distance of 400 kilometers from the northern border of the Rodland Empire, a distance that would take just over two months to reach the territory of the Rodland Empire.

Tens of millions of residents fled south, hoping to escape the brutal rule of the Norvids.

At the same time, the Holy Rodelan Empire and the Church declared that the invasion must be brought to an end and that the Norweeds who had committed all their evil deeds must be punished by the Holy Fathers and the Fathers.

That's it, the atmosphere of the holy war spread again in the holy world, one by one the wandering knights were filled with righteous indignation and were ready to join the army to serve, and the Iron Forest Legion and the Silver Fir Legion in the middle of the continent directly expressed their willingness to join this holy war without accepting any property merchant.

Even some robbers with a conscience are willing to join this war that is related to the survival of the mainland.

Kings said that criminals who had participated in jihad could be exempted from their crimes, and that outlaws involved in jihad, such as bandits, could grant titles and domains to them as nobles.

In addition to this, the homes of those involved in jihad are exempt from taxation for three years, and any taxes are exempt.

Such a powerful conscription order has made the residents and outlaws extremely enthusiastic, and participating in the holy war to defend the mainland will not only gain fame, but also such benefits.

For a while, basically all the young men were ready to pack their bags and prepare to go to the battlefield to fight.

Of course, at this time, it is the busy season of farming, and there are still many people who choose to live their lives at home.

But in short, it was an existential battle that affected the entire continent, and the powerful kingdom of Astra only lasted fifteen days, which shows how strong the enemy's combat power is.

The regular army on the mainland can only mobilize more than 400,000 people, and 500,000 people is already the limit, and such a number is obviously not enough to fight the enemy.

Therefore, they hope to mobilize all the forces of the people, and in the Holy Religion world with a population of 200 million people, there are nearly a million wandering knights in the people, plus bandits and bandits, who are lawless elements with force, plus a large number of mercenaries, so that they can compete with the Norvidians.

The mobilization order lasted for a long time, and a large number of armed men were gathered, but at this time the Rodland Empire could no longer sit still, because the Norweeds had already marched to their borders.
