Early the next morning, a vanguard army of the Church composed of paladins with some noble private soldiers and a group of mages who had completely surrendered to the Church set out from Shining Sand City, which was requisitioned as a stronghold, and they would set off to the plain more than ten kilometers away from Yafen City, where they would set up a military camp to facilitate the siege battle behind.

With the help of magic, it only took half a day for an earthen temporary castle to rise from the ground, more than ten kilometers away from Afen City, and the Voidwalkers did not react to it, and did not make any harassment on the way, so that the church itself did not believe it.

The Grand Knight Chief Yawen, who was the supreme commander of the Church Army, looked at the good news sent from the front, his face was filled with a disdainful smile, and said to the Grand Judge who came with the army: "It seems that they are really afraid, so afraid that they don't dare to go out of the city at all." ”

"It's a joke to say that the void is fearless, and ignorance and arrogance make them stupid." The Grand Judge also said with a sneer.

"Don't take it lightly." Archbishop Austin is quite rational persuasion, he is responsible for the command of all the priests and missionaries, the magic is unfathomable, and he is also one of the high-level giants who can participate in the papal synod, and this time he came with the army is mainly responsible for leading the priest to counter the other party's magic.

In total, only these three giants came, and the rest of the Pope and the new High Priest remained in the holy city of Canin, ready to welcome the angels and wait for the good news of victory from the front.

But the personal cultivation of these three is not very strong, except for Archbishop Austin, who has studied divine arts for many years and has a cultivation close to the demigod level, the young Grand Inquisitor and the Grand Knight Chief have only entered the Holy Spirit level, and it is obvious that they have spent too much thought on the ownership drill camp, and their personal cultivation has fallen behind.

But this doesn't matter, because in the entire church army, there are still ten saints, including Saint Jonah and others, two of whom have demigod-level strength, and there are also three great knights who are touching the threshold of demigods, only short of the awakening realm, plus Saint Zachari, the head of the Holy Samurai Order, who has been promoted to the demigod level for many years, even if the angels are not considered, the church's high-end combat power is confident.

However, the aristocracy is a little ugly, the highest cultivation is only one Holy Spirit level, and there are very few immortal levels, this is still the case of hollowing out the family foundation, it seems that most of the strong people are unwilling to bow their eyebrows and bend their waists to deal with the powerful.

However, the Mage Association is quite powerful, led by one of the vice presidents, a strong contender for the new president, and Vice President Haydn, there are six Holy Spirit level mages, and the face is quite sufficient, including the temporary castle that can be built so quickly by relying on these mages, the only pity is that none of the demigod-level mages came, and among the six Holy Spirit levels, there is also the strange factor of Vice President Grant.

Grant came by watching the war and supervising the use of the teleportation array, according to the internal regulations of the Mage Association, the teleportation array of public welfare should not be used in this kind of power war, and Grant had been using this as an excuse not to give convenience to the church, which led to it having been blacklisted a long time ago, and then probably woke up and understood that no one can confront the church and angels, and made some concessions in the dark, but in order to prevent the teleportation array from being destroyed, or used for various inhumane acts, He still infiltrated as an overseer.

"This fang is no longer to be feared, his only power and pride is this pitiful overseer, whether it is for him to witness the fall of the former henchmen, to know more clearly the strength of the church, and to understand more thoroughly the gap between me and me." Vice President Haydn said proudly, feeling that he would definitely get strong support from the church with this kneeling and licking behavior, and the battle for president was already in hand.

And other associations that have no power struggle for the time being, just sent some stinky fish and shrimp in their personal name to join in the fun, basically to watch the battle, not to mention it.

"The troops are going to the Divine Punishment Fort one after another, and the corresponding defense work must be done well, especially in terms of supply, in addition, we must also beware of the opponent's magic attack, after all, it is only twelve kilometers away, although it is convenient for us to carry out an offensive, but it is also convenient for the enemy to sneak attack." Grand Knight Captain Yawen looked at the map and reminded that although he was quite proud and confident, he still had the necessary war literacy.

The Divine Punishment Castle in his mouth is the temporary castle that was only built today, and it has been given a very domineering name, and this war against the Void Walkers has also been named the War of Divine Punishment by the church.

"Please rest assured, Master Haydn and I have made proper arrangements, and various types of protective enchantments should be ready." Archbishop Austin replied.

"I won't give them any chance to jump over the wall, so I don't hesitate to use the family heirlooms, the all-seeing eye, which can monitor all magic fluctuations within five kilometers of the surrounding area, this is the limit of the magic attack distance, they dare to move, they will not be able to escape our counterattack." Vice President Haydn said very proudly, and hinted in his words that he had made a heavy bet this time.

"Although I don't think it's too necessary, these rats have already been frightened and actually sat back and watched us build the Divine Punishment Fortress, and they didn't even dare to try this kind of excellent opportunity, they didn't have the courage to fight, they would only shrink their heads, waiting for the knife to slash at their necks." Haydn continued, sighing with some regret and anger: "It's just a pity that I set up a series of arrangements, I thought they would step on this trap and be the first to be wiped out by us, what a waste of materials..."

It turns out that the opponent's grandiose move to build a castle is actually a bait to lure the Void Walker to take the initiative, but it just didn't work, as we all know, the duel between mages, land combat is not as good as air combat, and air combat is not as good as positional warfare, and in the duel in the magic circle and rune array arranged by the enemy in advance, no matter how strong the strength is, there is a risk of overturning.

"Maybe it's because they saw through our plan, but it doesn't matter, the smooth construction of the Divine Punishment Fort is our victory." Grand Knight Captain Arwen reassured, not mentioning the acute question of who would bear the cost of the materials that Haydn spent on the ambush.

Archbishop Austin complimented him slightly: "With the help of Master Haydn, victory is so simple!" ”

In the first round of the battle between the Church and the Void, the Church declared itself victorious.

But in the eyes of the Voidwalkers, the first round of this war, which is called the Divine Grace Funeral Song, has not even begun...

"They used to sneak around outside the city and set up so many defensive magic circles, just to build such a thing?" The magician stood on the city wall, looking at the Divine Punishment Fortress, which was just a small black dot, and asked with some amusement.

"You probably think we're going to sneak up, right?" The lord replied with a little amusement.

"This kind of sand sculpture castle that can be smashed casually, still needs a sneak attack? Wouldn't it be better to wait for someone to go in and smash it more? The magician asked, puzzled, "Sure enough, religious people are not in their right minds. ”

"That's true, but watching the enemy erect a castle under his nose still affects morale somewhat..."The lord said with some hesitation.

"Oh? Do you want me to encourage them a little more? The magician gestured to pull out the violin again.

"Don't, please, don't!" The lord dragged and dragged the mage to stop the mage's urge to show his artistic prowess in public again, "It took me a lot of effort yesterday to convince them that there are no terrible monsters in the city..."

"Tsk, it seems that the soldiers of the Widnina family have a little misunderstanding of our strength?" The magician put away the sawwood for the time being, "Then arrange for them all to go up to the city wall tomorrow, it's time for them to understand what the Void is like." ”

Another day passed, a small group of paladins mixed with some noble knights were slowly riding their horses, proudly marching in the direction of the Divine Punishment Fortress, behind them were carriages full of supplies, neatly arranged, this would be the first batch of supplies to arrive at the Divine Punishment Fortress.

Behind the carriage, there were several huge siege equipment such as arrow towers, catapults, and rushing carts, which looked hideous and huge, and the walls of Yafen City were as fragile as bullet shells in front of such siege equipment.

Such a team is naturally very slow, but the knights in charge of escorting are not in a hurry, just walk slowly, admiring the surrounding scenery with great interest, in their opinion this is a journey like an outing, the enemy has no mobile forces such as cavalry, and a whole supply line is full of eyeliner and detection magic, and it is outside the range of magic attacks, so safe as their own back garden.

A dragonfly stopped on the tip of a knight's high erected thatch, the knight was in a very good mood at the moment, but it was also rare to be a little more childlike, did not drive away the dragonfly, let its two pairs of compound eyes coldly look at the baggage convoy behind it, and passed the picture to the Void Walkers who were far away in Afen City.

"How? The picture is clear, right? It's the latest detective puppet with the concept of Earth technology, and it looks exactly like a normal dragonfly, so I named it Tintin Cat. The Engineer smirked like a magician.

The magician looked coldly at the picture reflected by the magic light curtain, and commented unceremoniously: "The picture quality is a little poor?" What a mosaic..."

"Is it your eyes? Obviously it's already 40K bit rate, 0801 definition! "The engineer said a bunch of data standards that I don't know which plane it was.

"Forget it, make do with it." The magician shook his head, took out a new staff inlaid with dozens of magic amplification gems from the storage bag, and muttered in a low voice: "The Book of Surrender of All Worlds has been passed on to that criminal, but I can only use this kind of goods... Forget it, make do..."
