As the bishop, Zachari is directing the priests to carry out divine indoctrination, enchanting positive energy into the weapons of the soldiers, so that these cold weapons that were originally forged of steel have more power to inflict extra damage on evil. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The process of enchantment was simple, these Catholic priests whispered Bible passages in their mouths, and in the midst of this chanting, the faint white light also appeared between their hands, gently touching the deadly blade of the cold weapon, like a coating, attached to a faint white light, although thin but looking extremely tough.

Whether it was the scimitar of the Barbary pirates, or the cavalry swords of the provincial cavalry, or the spearheads of the spearmen, they all emitted a faint white light as the priests chanted and touched.

This meant that the enchantment was successful, but it had already consumed about an hour, and even the distant sun had fully risen, and it seemed that it was time for lunch in less than two hours.

"It's done, Your Majesty."

Some sweaty Bishop Zachari also walked over, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel, and nodded to Levi: "Let the soldiers drink the holy water, and then enter the plane of the dead." ”

It seemed that he was also really tired, and wiped his neck with a towel, Bishop Zachari looked at Levi and said confidently: "The first divine infusion is more difficult, and in the next words, you only need to put these weapons infused with divine power into the holy water, and you can regain the power of God." ”

"Is this a charge?" Levi was stunned for a moment, looked at the very tired Bishop Zachari, and also nodded and said with concern: "Very good, it's really hard." ”

"All for you, Your Majesty."

Bishop Zachari waved his hand, he had already entered middle age, and he became more and more devout to his faith, looking at Levi, he also bowed his head very respectfully and said: "Expelling evil and defeating darkness is the mission of any believer of God, we must purify filth, fatigue and toil, it is just a stepping stone to heaven." ”

"The people who fought for the Spanish Empire will ascend to heaven."

Although Levi did not understand the so-called heaven, looking at the pious appearance of Bishop Zachari, Levi also sighed in his heart for the foolishness of these fanatics, and casually said something that seemed to him to be equivalent to a blank check.

But this sentence made Bishop Zachari extremely happy, and even the nearby town militia standing next to him looked at Levi with wide eyes and very brightly, but the piety and fanaticism on his face were also a little deeper, and it was obvious that these words were no less than an incentive for them to reward wealth.

Religious countries, especially those that have opened the divine authority of kings, usually have an unusual motivating effect on people's hearts and morale, and if used well, it is equivalent to a weapon of great destruction!

It's much better to unite than to be disheartened, let alone these soldiers who have to fight with the terrifying-looking skeleton warriors of the undead race? If the morale is not high enough, I am afraid that ordinary people will be so frightened that they will pee their pants and tremble their legs, and they will not even be able to lift their weapons when they see the skeleton that can walk freely!

"Already, Your Majesty, we can go at any time."

Green and Wilmot had also finished inspecting, and looked at the soldiers standing straight in the entire square, and nodded secretly, affirming the appearance of these soldiers.

"Very well, let's go." Levi waved his hand forward, and the array on the entire square also moved with his arm, and began to walk in unison steps, three people in a row, forming a long tunnel into the silver pit in an orderly manner, and walked into the portal without changing his face.

Of course, just outside the mouth of the tunnel, two large wooden barrels filled with holy water were placed, and any soldier who entered would soak his weapon in them and take a big sip of the holy water inside.

This is a necessary step to enter the undead plane, especially in the face of the black mist that can affect people's minds, these holy waters can ensure that the mind is clear and has the sanity of a normal person, otherwise it will fall into the point of madness, and it is still a fully armed army, and the consequences are really unimaginable.

Levi also took a sip of holy water, and quickly followed the provincial cavalry who were leading their horses into the pit tunnel, and after stepping through the portal, they had already come to the undead plane.

The portal was located in the main hall of the church on the plane of the undead, and the soldiers also walked out of the huge prayer hall and came to the square outside in a neat procession.

And Levi also came to the door, looked at the obviously overwhelming figure, stretched out his hand to greet Wilmot next to him, Levi said directly: "Wilmot, quickly count the troops!" ”

"At present, our army has five teams of town militia of 600 people, twelve teams of Barbary pirates of 1,440 people, five teams of Spanish spearmen of 600 people, and ten teams of provincial cavalry of 540 people!"

Wilmot, as the Minister of War, had already summed up and immediately replied: "Five teams of 24-pounder light cannons, including 120 artillery and 20 guns, and 100 horses responsible for pulling the artillery, this is our current strength and auxiliary firepower!" ”

This is indeed Levi's main force, a force of 3,000 people, and twenty artillery pieces, even on the earth in the previous life, some small modern countries, the main force is nothing more than that.

"Good."

Exhaling slowly, Levi's eyes also subconsciously looked at the hills in the distance, of course he knew that after crossing the undulating hills, in the distance were the ruins of the abandoned city, and the castle of the undead occupied by a group of bronze-level skeleton warriors.

That is his only enemy in this world at the moment, and it is also the only target of his operation, and it is also the force that must be eliminated in this operation!

If you want to gain a foothold in this undead plane, then you must expand your territory and sphere of influence, and that undead castle is precisely the stone that hinders Levi's development in this world.

There is no so-called benevolence or righteousness, just because what survives in that castle of the dead is a group of skeletons and undead, a group of skeletons that should have died, not even life and death, even normal creatures can't accept it, the undead spirits!

This is the original sin of the war between the two sides, and there is not even the slightest excuse, just because they do not belong to the same race, that is the best reason to go to war!

"Your Majesty, your warhorse."

Behind him, a town militiaman brought over a war horse, which was the same one that Levi had ridden before, and now came back to his side as the mount of the king of the Spanish Empire.

"Hmm." Levi nodded, and directly got on the horse, holding the reins, and slightly shaking the stirrups, the war horse under the crotch slowly stepped forward as if he had a heart, carrying Levi forward, slowly moving along the edge of the troop formation, as if carrying him for inspection.

"Let's go!"

Levi's voice sounded, and at the same time, he turned his head to look behind him, Wilmot and Green, who were also riding war horses, and commanded: "Wilmot, lead the provincial cavalry to the front to reconnoitre!" ”

"Understood!" Wilmo nodded, and immediately rushed out of the queue with a group of provincial cavalry, and then quickly dispersed in pairs, like wolves pounced out, and began to reconnoiter the situation in the direction of the castle of the dead, for this kind of task, they were already quite proficient.

"Green, go to the front, command the troops to advance, and stabilize the speed of the march!"

Then, Levi turned his head to look at Green next to him, looked at the cabinet minister who was most at ease with him, and also ordered: "Ensure the stability of the march, and immediately let the troops form a combat formation when they find the enemy!" ”

"Understood." Green had a calm personality, nodded and rode his horse towards the front. The speed of the march of the troops needs to be moderate, not too fast and not too slow, especially as the attacking side, they also have to save their physical strength for the use of engineering, blindly speeding up the march speed and wasting physical strength in vain, which is tantamount to idiotic approach.

What's more, in these queues, hundreds of horses are slowly pulling 20 heavy guns, these 24-pounder light cannons, which belong to the old style of direct-fire artillery, are extremely heavy, and only the horses can pull together.

If it was before, close to the soldiers to drag those artillery on their shoulders, it is estimated that the marching speed would not be as fast as possible, and only these horses can use the spirit of hardship and hard work, and far beyond the strength of ordinary people, to keep up with the normal marching speed and not drag down the troops.

Five groups of town militia with flintlock muskets at the front, followed by a very large number of twelve Barbary pirates, while the remaining five Spanish spearmen flanked five teams of 24-pounder light cannons.

As the commander, Li Wei was on the right side of the marching column, and the nine provincial cavalry that were still left here followed behind him, and more than 400 cavalrymen slowly rode forward, and the sound of the horseshoe hitting the ground was also like the thunder of rolling forward, which was quite terrifying.

In conventional warfare, the tactical deterrence of cavalry is extremely strong, and the main reason is that when hundreds of cavalry begin to charge, the momentum like a flash flood and the huge sound are almost heavenly might!

Of course, for those undead skeletons who have no morale and emotions to speak of, the cavalry is not so deterrent, and it is useful to attack the weak side of the enemy's formation, or to defend against the enemy's cavalry, and delay time for the next changes to their own infantry array.

Everything was ready, the castle of the dead was in front of him, and Levi also took a deep breath, the cold, as if it was penetrating the air, also made his mood extremely calm.

Because, this is a crucial battle!
