No one knows if Bai Yi can catch Grant's soul in time, but many people know that the church was a little stunned by the three heavy punches of the Void Walker, although one of them was more unexpected.
The Pope sitting in the Holy City looked at the three battle reports that came one after another, and almost had a heart attack, but the loss was that he was well enough to smash the things in the house to vent his anger.
lost a large supply team; Someone smashed a castle; The rear base camp was tragically attacked by terrorists, suffered heavy losses, and the aristocratic army died so hard that it was difficult to form a system... The point is, from the beginning to the end, I didn't even see the face of the enemy...
So a difficult choice was made before the Pope and the top brassips, should this battle continue? How to proceed? Theoretically speaking, it is best to stand still now, just wait for the angel to hug his thighs after the lower realm, no matter how weird the tricks on the other side are, in the face of the angel's absolute crushing combat power, these are just juggling, at this time there are still two days before the angel comes, and a little patience will pass.
However, the angel only came for three days, and he flew half from Canning City to Yafen City, and the remaining time to fight was only one day, even if the other side was about to collapse at the touch of a button, but he could kill that demon in one day? What if they find a way to drag out time? Although judging from various sources, the demons seem to want to defend the exiled but not yet dead Nevisel, and the main goal of the angels is this, but no one knows whether the demons will give up on the fallen angels, once they shrink, the main goal of the angels will be achieved, but what about the goals of the church? What will happen when the angel is gone?
For a while, the key point of the battle situation actually fell on the question of whether the demon would be a guardian angel, which always sounded very ironic...
"In short, let's dismiss all those nobles first, it's no longer a combat force." The new High Priest suggested in a low voice.
"This kind of trivial matter, Yawen naturally knows what to do, and he doesn't need you to remind him!" The Pope said angrily.
"In addition, I have signed a document with the Archbishop of the Diocese of Canning, and we are waiting for your final approval." The High Priest said, handing over a piece of parchment with blood-red names written on it.
The Pope took it and looked at it for a while, his brows furrowed more and more, he looked very hesitant, and after a long time of entanglement, he signed his name and reminded in a low voice: "Be secretive, polite, and polite, if this kind of thing is not handled well, it will make us the enemy of the whole people..."
"As for our own people... If you are in the front-line regiment, you should be transferred back first, don't interrogate or anything, investigate clearly first; Those who remain in the city, gather them together first, and keep an eye on them. The Pope continued, "I would not have liked to do this at such a time, it would have easily swayed the morale of the army, but as you said, this is the most necessary strategy at the moment. ”
The parchment was full of names, some of whom were university students, some of whom were aristocrats associated with the university, and some of whom were insiders of the church itself, such as the priest girl in Bai Yi's first fans.
Because the losses caused by Grant were too heavy, and even the attached nobles had distrust, it was imperative to conduct an internal investigation, but it was indeed too risky to do this at the juncture of the war between the two sides, and it was no different from playing with fire, so the Pope did not dare to issue a strong order, and could only investigate and monitor first.
Maybe there's no second Grant, but who knows if someone will blow the whistle and secretly pass the song?
On the other hand, they want to get some clues from those who are related to the church, trying to figure out how their supply team disappeared and how the castle collapsed, which is also something that must be done, and they also dare not use too strong methods, arrest and interrogation and other means dare not use, after all, those students, teachers, and nobles are all powerful families, even if the church has always been strong, they do not dare to make public anger at this juncture.
But how effective is this kind of careless approach? The Pope himself didn't have much expectations, and the right to do it was routine.
"I hope it doesn't attract too much resistance," the Pope muttered as he looked at the departing archpriest.
Fortunately, the Pope was waiting for not only bad news, but also an unexpected vote of reinforcements.
As soon as the day dawned, Haydn's grandfather, who was killed by Grant's self-explosion, the current family of the family, the former vice president of the Mage Guild, the current honorary advisor, and the Marquis of Haydn, known as the old Haydn, appeared in front of the Pope and brought him exciting good news.
"Little Haydn is the pride of our family's best and most promising breakthrough, but now he was brutally murdered by Grant's mad dog, our family cannot tolerate such an outcome, and the blood debt must be paid in blood!" Old Haydn said indignantly, "Even the legendary emperor must bear the vengeful wrath of our family!" ”
As a family of mages, the Haydn family's power in the association can be said to be deep-rooted, otherwise they would not be able to hold Haydn's kind of goods to the position of vice president or even president, it was difficult to do their best under Grant's constraints, but now that Grant is dead, he has given them an excuse to make trouble by the way, so they naturally have to go all out, and even desperately seek justice for their own pride; In addition, Grant's bombing of the association's warehouse before his death caused a lot of dissatisfaction within the association, and secretly gave the Haydn family a lot of convenience, and even acquiesced in their unauthorized transfer of the association's mage group, and more than 300 mages were transferred overnight to rush to the aid of Shining Sand City.
Moreover, it is not necessarily a bad thing that the aristocratic army has suffered heavy casualties, without this trash of fish that is dragging its feet, the living force of the church has not suffered much blow, and the whole team has become much more lean, and the defensive pressure has suddenly decreased a lot.
The death of a Haydn did not make the church lose the assistance of the mage, but did nothing and added such a strong support from the mage association out of thin air, which is not comparable to those nobles, quantified by the strength, is it stronger than before? The Pope was afraid that he would applaud the death of little Haydn and praise a few words of good death...
However, this is also conditional, the Haydn family, who are eager for revenge, are not willing to wait too long, and the church naturally cannot implement the safest strategy of standing still and waiting for angels.
This is not a bad thing, the Pope is already vacillating between continuing to march and holding on to help, not wanting to suffer too much loss, and not wanting the angels to see their inaction, but the old Haydn came to help him make a choice.
As a result, the front-line legions, which had just been attacked by terror, were forced to continue their advance in panic and march to the city of Afen overnight. Thankfully, they don't have to worry much about morale, and faith is something that works in situations like this.
The next day, at this breakfast, which was only two days before the angel came, the magician got the news that the church was marching, and couldn't help but sigh a little strangely: "I was like that yesterday, and I dare to march today?" Is this the power of faith? ”
This time, the church did not dare to swagger first to set up a castle and then slowly move people inside, but almost poured out, pulling out a long dragon on the road from Shining Sand City to Afen City, with paladins on horseback in the front, crusaders guarding the baggage convoy in the middle, paladins roaming around, mages and priests maintaining all kinds of protective magic and protective magic...
"It's been 8012, and there are still people marching like this?" The lord looked amused, "It's inefficient, how afraid are they that we will sneak into the rear?" ”
From the comparison between modern warfare and ancient warfare on the earth, it can be seen that the improvement of technology and tactics can actually be simply summarized as the improvement of efficiency, and the improvement of reconnaissance efficiency from various spy satellite reconnaissance planes; The global layout improves the efficiency of force projection; What a variety of sophisticated weapons provide is killing efficiency.
Nowadays, the Void is leading in all aspects of efficiency compared to the Church, which is an absolute advantage brought about by the technological generation gap, and it is not a problem that can be solved by the Church changing its strategy.
"Wait for them to get closer, get closer and then do it." The magician looked at the pale faces of the soldiers on the city wall, opened his mouth to order, and muttered very dissatisfiedly, "This is too slow, isn't it?" ”
The church spent most of the early morning and the whole morning, just being in sight of the defenders of Afen City... You must know that Shining Sand City is only more than twenty miles away from Yafen City, so you can imagine how slow their speed is.
It's just that the black oppressive head looks bluffing, and it is okay to scare the soldiers on the city wall, but the Voidwalker with the ability to strike out of sight in his hands is a little impatient - in order to take care of the soldiers' emotions, they have decided to fight a battle today that can be seen and understood by the soldiers.
Otherwise, the church would have marched so quickly that half of it would have died before it saw the walls of Afen.
"Oh? How many mages are there in their ranks? The magician said a little strangely, "It should be the after-effects of Grant, right?" ”
At noon, the church army finally marched to a suitable distance, and the baggage convoy began to camp under strict protection, and arranged the siege equipment brought with them, while the soldiers relined after a brief rest, not intending to attack the city, but just to get closer to the city walls, to show off the might of the army, and to raise morale.
However, the mages came to the right attack distance, and were ready to use long-range firepower to consume the opponent's living power first, and start the first step of revenge.
The first wave of the offensive was led by the Holy Spirit Archmage of the Haydn family, Matthews. Initiated by Haydn, who is the younger Haydn's own uncle, vows to avenge his nephew.
