575. Day 2
The next day the sun rose as usual, and the dazzling light of holiness shone on the earth again, for which the devout believers gave up the day's work and knelt on the ground in a whispered prayer.
But the believers in the holy city of Canning were not so happy, they had to weep while cleaning the battlefield and burying the corpses.
At midnight last night, a group of rogues suddenly attacked the holy city of Canning, because the main force of the church was seriously damaged before, and was recruited by the angels to go part, and the defense forces were mainly concentrated in the shining sand city at the feet of the angels, causing Canning's defense force to hit a record low.
One of the rogues dressed as an assassin climbed the city wall and stole open the city gates, but as soon as he approached, he was discovered, and immediately became angry, forcibly killed him, and broke down the city gate with his own strength.
Then a group of barbarians who screamed and killed people everywhere pounced, followed by a group of soldiers, who entered the city mainly to cause chaos and destruction, and set fire to several churches, causing the whole city of Canning to be uneasy, until the Pope was forcibly awakened, and bravely stepped forward, intending to turn the tide with his superior divine cultivation.
A scepter-wielding mage appeared among the Rogues, smiling rrry, and engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the Pope and his bodyguards, while the other Rogues took the opportunity to flee.
In the end, the Pope still failed to keep this strange mage, and watched him and his companions join and escape, leaving a mess behind him, and then came a bad news: the tombs of the popes of the past were stolen, and the tomb robbers among the rogues took advantage of the chaos to forcibly break into the mausoleum, stole a large number of holy relics and belongings, and painted a king on the coffin of each pope...
The Pope, who had been battered since the beginning of the war, could no longer support it, and suddenly suffered a myocardial infarction on the spot, fainted, and although he was out of danger the next day, he did not wake up.
The Templar fortress to the south fared even worse, as a large number of necromancers attacked the fortress from behind during the night, but due to the low quality of its individual soldiers and the extremely complete defense of the fortress itself, the results were limited; But as soon as the necromancers on this side retreated, a few more spatial rifts suddenly appeared on the other side, and a large number of low-level demons swarmed out, putting pressure on the fortress again.
The attack on the two major places of the church overnight is simply to provoke their most sensitive nerves, even if it does not cause serious casualties, the psychological pressure it can bring is incalculable...
But what can the church do? Draw soldiers from the front line to defend solidly? Ask the angels if they say yes or not? Who's going to ask? Who dares to ask? Draw people from the fortress? Demons and necromancy say yes?
At such a critical juncture, the Vosa royal family sent an olive branch like charcoal, they united several nobles in the country, promised to send additional troops, stationed in Canning City, to assist the church in defense, and did not need any additional payment, only the church side to cooperate with the force, do not interfere with the military power.
The Pope is in a coma, the Grand Inquisitor is taken away, the Grand Knight Chief is on the front line, and the young Grand Priest and several powerful archbishops who are left behind are thinking about it, this is a good deal! The royal family and the nobility did not offer such exaggerated prices, only asked the church to bear the necessary supplies, and the rest were some false titles of faith, in exchange for a real army! As for the military power or something, it's all someone else's army after all, so you shouldn't grab it, right?
This kind of profitable business can't be done, what other business can be done? So the voter took the Pope's seal, stamped the big red seal on the contract, and when the Pope woke up, he hurriedly ran to ask for merit and reward, thinking that solving this headache of defense problems must be a great achievement, enough to go down in history!
Then the Pope listened, his eyes widened, blood spurted from his mouth, and he fainted again.
This group of fools doesn't understand, he still understands as the pope, and he knows what it means for other forces to come to his hometown to garrison troops, which is not the same nature as sending troops with the church to fight a good war.
Paying for their own money, food, and land to support someone else's army in their hometown, this kind of thing is not only done by Japanese and Koreans...
"They actually signed such a treaty?!" The magicians were a little surprised when they heard this, and asked the trickster who had arrived in the early hours of the morning.
"Unexpectedly smooth, even I was surprised, theoretically I shouldn't have given in so quickly, although the merchant bribed a few archbishops, but the pope should still be sober, probably because the pressure from the lord's side is too great, right?" The trickster also said a little strangely, they didn't know for the time being that the Pope had passed out in anger.
All in all, this seemingly affordable, but in fact humiliating treaty was signed, and the royal family and nobles excitedly showed 120,000 sincerity, and immediately dispatched 50,000 troops into the holy city of Canning, and defended the city impregnably, believing that the group of rogues would never dare to come again.
"The emperor's side is actually the best to convince, basically just said a few words, and he nodded and agreed." The trickster continued.
"As long as he is a slightly ambitious emperor, he will not want to have such a behemoth around him, he can be said to be powerless before, but after we open the gap for it, as long as he is not stupid, he will definitely cooperate." The magician was not very surprised by this result, he believed that when he repelled the first wave of the church's attack, the emperor should have such a thought, no matter how long the church insisted on not interfering in internal affairs, as long as it still exists, it will not satisfy the people in power, not to mention that the current church in order to fight against the void, has a vague intention of interfering in the government, at this time, if you don't take the opportunity to extinguish this sprout, I am afraid that the future will be overridden by the divine power.
Therefore, the emperor's side can only be regarded as pushing the boat along the river, and no matter what the outcome of the final war is, he can be left and right, and he will not lose anything, this is the real profitable business.
The lord insisted on dividing his troops under such heavy pressure on Afen City, mainly for this, on the one hand, to try some church power to relieve the pressure on Afen City; On the other hand, it is intended to solve the problem of the church once and for all.
There are many ways to solve trouble, and some Voidwalkers like to kill things in one fell swoop; The lord agreed with Bai Yi's idea that there was no need to slaughter believers, and the church could survive, but the price of this survival was probably to castrate the church into a simple religious charity.
In the future, he will continue to lead troops around other religious towns, including some scenic cathedrals are also on the list, even after the war is over, and must continue to force the church to completely submit to the royal family.
As for whether the royal family will turn against them in the future, it doesn't matter at all, the Voidwalker is a peace-loving organization, committed to the common development, progress and prosperity of mankind, is quite kind, quite easy to speak, I believe that except for the church, no one will be so unconscionable to attack themselves, right?
Besides, the royal family has no angels and no divine light, the weapons are designed by the university, and the talents are cultivated by the void.
However, the angels do not care about these things, they only have their own goals in their eyes.
However, they did not rush to attack today, but delayed some time and held a grand mass funeral for the victims of last night.
The angels lined up a beautiful pattern in the sky like obedient doves, and the two archangels went out alone, chanting prayers for the dead, and then they saw a dense group of spirits floating in the sky above the city of Afen, and some of them, under the guidance of the angels, flew to the center of the pattern of the angels, and disappeared into a piece of light; Others fell to the dust and disappeared silently, as if they had been filled with lead.
This grand ceremony was under the control of angels, and it was seen in every corner of the entire Easter continent, which greatly inspired the courage in the hearts of believers, and the morale was greatly shaken for a while! Yesterday's defeat vanished, and they wept with excitement, praying that they would be chosen today to join the holy war.
For the vast majority of believers, it is their greatest pursuit to enter the kingdom of heaven and enjoy eternal and peaceful sleep, so those believers who died yesterday do not make people feel sad, but envy and jealousy...
"But... What's the point? Isn't life gone? Separated from friends and relatives forever? "Radicia stood in the city of Afen and looked up at the wonders of heaven, clutching the canonical necklace tightly in her hand, but uttered such a rebellious word in her mouth.
What she insisted on had quietly changed unconsciously...
After the ceremony, the angel attacked again, the same move came again, and the space distortion came from around Afen City again, and the 100,000 believers who had been replenished again appeared under the city wall, the same light-forged armor and weapons, and the same golden protection.
The difference is that a series of violent explosions suddenly erupted under their feet, and before they could stand firmly, they blew up a person on his back... There were a few particularly unlucky guys who were closest to the center of the explosion, and they were directly blown apart, and no amount of protection could save them.
"The same trick can only be used once against a Voidwalker! Really can't we make anti-infantry mines?! The craftsman said triumphantly, feeling very pleased with the pile of mines in the warehouse that had been made for a long time but had never been able to find a suitable opportunity to play, which he had buried overnight with the students last night.
However, although the first wave of mines caused some damage to the enemy, there were too many believers, and the protection of the angels was too strong, such a small setback was not enough to resist their pace, and the main purpose was to create chaos.
This time, however, the believers did not panic too much...
