Chapter 577: The Dilemma of the Holy Empire (Part II)
In this case, the Holy See, even though it was unhappy with Sindelare, had to pinch its nose in the end. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Schindlaire was reluctant to send troops, and even several times in succession, the emissaries of the Holy See lowered and lowered their posture, but they were not able to impress Verina, or His Majesty Dane.
If there is no actual benefit, why should Hindlaire send troops?
The Holy Empire has always been domineering, and it has always been them who make demands and conditions to others, but when they are put forward conditions, it is very rare.
This can be seen in the actual interests that they proposed to be divided between Hindlaire.
At first, they hoped to persuade Sindelair to send troops in the name of righteousness, but they were decisively refused;
Then, they proposed to recognize the status of the Kingdom of Sindlaire, the status of the Bull Prince, the recognition of the Duchy of Florence and the Bull Princely as Hindlaire's vassals, and the possibility of admitting Hindlaire into the Holy Alliance in exchange for His Majesty Dane's willingness to send troops.
Isn't that swearing? When did Schindlaire need the Holy Empire to recognize him, and when did he look forward to joining the Holy Alliance?
And how rude is it to make a condition of something that is already a Hindlaire in exchange for help?
The arrogance of the new Promes is simply unreasonable.
This time, Verina's formulaic and gentle tone didn't bother to say anything, and directly in front of the envoy, she ridiculed His Majesty the Emperor of the Holy Empire and the Great Pope.
"The ignorant and arrogant Pope, who can't even see the current situation clearly, has a pair of white eyes. The arrogant attitude, the so-called wisdom, is inferior to the most stupid pig. ”
The messenger was so angry that he walked away.
But a few days later, he returned.
It is said that this time, the Prome newcomer reluctantly gave some conditions with a certain sincerity.
was slapped in the face repeatedly, but he still had to lick his face and go to the door for help, which means that the recent situation of the Holy Empire has deteriorated to a certain extent.
And so it is. According to the latest intelligence from the Black Hand Academy, military friction has begun to occur between the western and northern borders of the Holy Empire and the other two countries, namely the Evert Federation and the Northern Alliance.
Taking advantage of the good opportunity to rob, Evert, as the sworn enemy of the Holy Empire, will not let it go. At the same time, a few years ago, the Holy Empire invaded the Northern Alliance once in the name of 'holy war', and also began to retaliate.
This puts a lot of pressure on the Holy Empire. If they could, they were completely unwilling to continue with the undead in the East.
In other words, they are the ones who most desperately want to end this war.
However, according to Dane's meaning, the Holy Empire can still dry them for a while longer.
……
This drying has put the Holy Empire in a hurry.
At first, after realizing the insatiable greed of the Hindlaire, they did think about it, giving up the idea of asking for help and finding a way to solve the problem themselves.
As a result, in all three directions of the Holy Empire, they all took a very active posture in an instant.
To the north, the frontier guards, who took the initiative, repelled the sentinels of the forest elves, and instead of counterattacking, they left the border and advanced some distance towards the forests and mountains of the north, giving the other side a deterrent.
At the same time, the legion of lawbreakers stationed in the west also took the initiative to launch a series of counterattacks against the invading army of the Evert Federation, suppressing their momentum a lot.
The Holy Empire began to flex its muscles in this way, warning his enemies - don't think I'm really that easy to bully right now!
However, the more this happens, the more it seems to expose the weakness within the Holy Empire.
But, in any case, now the storm has finally stopped for a while. As a result, the army of the Great Lord of Jobaldine, who was stationed in Changlu County, on the border between Pudri and the Holy Empire, launched a fierce attack on the undead in front of him.
This is from the will of His Holiness the Pope.
The army of the Holy Empire, which launched the surge, is still strong enough. Especially when the Grand Lord of Jobdine, the chief of the Templar Order, Richard Paladin, and the Grand Inquisitor of the Holy See, Inquisitor St. John, the three legends spared no effort to participate in the frontal battlefield, the undead army could not withstand such a fierce attack.
Of course, among the army of the undead, there is also the existence of the legendary death dragon Clyotraz, who is the second seat of the Church of the Damned, and the death knight Serfield will be subservient to him. This legendary-level bone dragon may only be slightly weaker than the demigod Lich Kegel in terms of strength.
At least, in heads-up, none of the three legends of the Holy Empire are his opponents.
But so what? Just as Kegel can't beat the combination of four legends, Claiostraz, who is slightly weaker, can't challenge three legends at the same time.
In this case, of course, Claiostraz will not go crazy and jump out and die.
He hid in the army of the undead, and did not come out of it in any way, allowing the armies of the Holy Church to attack wildly.
However, the number of undead is here after all. The three legendary powerhouses of the empire are certainly very heavyweight weights on the battlefield, but it is impossible to replace the role of the army.
Even with the high morale and fighting will of the church army, as well as the excellent ability to fight alone, the army of the Holy See eliminated a large number of undead, but its own losses were by no means few.
After a month-long war, the legions of the Great Lord of Joberdine advanced under the city of Silver.
From Changlu County to the Silver and White Capital, the army of the Holy Empire is almost a bloody road with the lives of its soldiers. The undead army is frantically attacking the human army along the way, and there is hardly a moment of stopping.
During this month's war, the Holy Empire's army wiped out 150,000 undead and paid the price of 30,000 casualties.
And at this moment, under the city of Silver and White, Joberdine, St. John, and Richard, the three legendary powerhouses of the Holy Empire, had a dispute over the next war.
The reason for the dispute is simple, there are at least 200,000 undead in the Silver and White Capital.
How is this going to be fought?
Fighting all the way from Changlu County, he had already lost nearly half of his troops and killed 150,000 undead, and that was still in the plains.
And the city defense facilities in the Silver and White City are not bad, and there are so many undead in the city. Can the Holy Empire win?
What's more, even if you win the battle and recover the silver and white capital, how much will it cost to pay? I'm afraid the whole legion will be exhausted!
But even then, it doesn't mean they won the war.
