047, War (1)

On the fourth day of Wesker's ascension to the Bronze rank, the official battle between the Duchy of Griffons and the Council of Nobles began. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Dressed in leather armor, he stood among the mercenaries, and because of the strength of the bronze rank and the bravery of the last battle, he was appointed the captain of a squad of hundreds. Some of the mercenary teams used to be the Second Legion of the Duchy of Griffons, with nearly 10,000 warriors lined up in neat ranks. The middle-aged adventurer knew that in the Second Legion there were regular army mages - unlike the few Black Iron Mages in their mercenary army - who would unleash their magic on the enemy's crowded areas when they were in battle. In the same way, these people will also enjoy the spell attacks of the enemy mage.

Wesker was a little apprehensive when he thought of the slain storm mage in the valley, and he had to admit that in this part of the battlefield, especially when the crowd was crowded, the mages could kill many people with a random spell. He didn't want to be targeted by the wizards of the Noble Council at all, even though he already possessed the Dou Qi Seed. Gunnar, the archer, looked nervous, whispering something quickly beside him, keeping his ears buzzing all the time, but Wesker couldn't do anything about it at this time.

A milky white light fell on him, giving him the feeling of soaking himself in a hot tub filled with hot water after returning from outside on a cold winter day, and the pores of his body were open to enjoy the pleasure. The Dou Qi Seed, which had not reacted much since advancing to the Bronze Rank, responded to this holy light and slowly rotated in his body, making Wesker instantly feel that his body was full of strength. He had a feeling that both the attack power and the reaction speed were better than ever, and even the mage problem that he had been worried about just now disappeared without a trace at this moment.

It was a blessing unleashed by the priest of the Church of the Sun God!

Flying above the Second Legion and mercenaries were nine silver priests in uniform robes, wielding the wand of the Sun Cross, and with their waving waves, they rained down holy lights. Wesker knew that the Sun God's magic was basically manifested in this milky white holy light, so he didn't know until the holy light landed on the target whether it was a blessing technique or a holy light armor.

It's a pity that the number of priests is too small, the middle-aged adventurer thought. With nearly 10,000 warriors in the Second Legion of the Duchy of Griffons alone, and about 3,000 mercenaries, it is impossible to obtain all of them with the priest's divine blessings. Until now, only warriors of the rank of Bronze had the privilege of being blessed with Blessing and Holy Light Armor by the nine priests themselves.

Flying in the sky along with the nine priests were 64 spherical creatures, Flare, who mainly added divine shields to ordinary warriors. I saw them lined up in a neat row, their round bodies glowing slightly almost at the same time, and then together they released a holy light and landed on the warriors below them, turning into a divine shield, and then moving backwards, adding defensive spells to the warriors behind.

You can do it! Wesker said to himself, then looked at the aristocratic council army in the distance. Yes, they are now in the phase of confrontation, the most difficult period before the battle. A golden glow fell over the armies of the Council of Nobles, and the six Silver Bishops were constantly adding defensive magic to their generals to prepare for the battle that was about to begin, but the scale seemed far less spectacular than that of the Griffon Principality.

It was a war between the Duchy of Griffons and the Council of Nobles, as well as between the Church of the Sun God and the Church of the Dawn, as evidenced by the priests and bishops who appeared on the battlefield. Generally speaking, the power of the church generally does not easily intervene in the battle of secular armies, and once it does, it means that the cooperation between theocracy and royal power begins. Of course, it is not without surprises, for example, the Church of Frans and the Dawn is now a theocratic world.

The Church of the Dawn is known for its defensive and healing techniques, especially in Celts, where only the Church of the Dawn exists. If he had been in such a situation before, he might have been tormented by fear and fear before the battle began, but now...... Their Duchy of Griffons has its own priest, and their magic in defense and healing is no worse than that of the Church of the Dawn. Especially after experiencing the healing spirit of the priest himself, Wesker was extremely confident.

"What are you looking at, aren't you nervous at all?" It was the voice of the archer Gunna, "I see, you're already a bronze warrior." How does it feel, man, do you have the confidence to kill more enemies in battle......"

"Shut up, I'm looking at Master Andrew."

According to legend, the golden sword saint Andrew, the guardian knight of the Grand Duke of Griffon, was the commander of this battle, and Wesker was not too surprised by this, after all, he was also the Minister of War of the Duchy of Griffon, and it was quite normal for him to personally attend the first major battle between the two major forces of the north and south of Celt - although there were conflicts and frictions between the Federation of Seven Cities and the Council of Nobles from time to time, there was never a formal war, because neither of them completely ate the strength and confidence of the other party. What's more, the commander of the noble council on the opposite side is not an ordinary person, but Gwenda from France, a knight whose strength is also of the golden rank, and the deputy head of the Glorious Knights of the Dawn Church.

Golden Juggernaut vs Golden Juggernaut! Judging from the commander alone, Wesker had almost expected the intensity of the battle to come.

"Go back to Frans, savage and shameless invader!" The ranks of the Second Legion parted neatly, and out of it came a knight in silver armor, St. Andrew, the Golden Sword. This knight, who has always given the impression of being gentle and generous, looks like a gentleman even when insulting the other party, but no one can ignore the firm voice that spreads throughout the battlefield and his great strength.

"Intruder! Intruder! Intruder! The soldiers and mercenaries of the Second Legion shouted in unison.

Wesker noticed that Gunner's voice beside him was extremely loud, and a pair of sparkling eyes bloomed with an astonishing look. It seems that he is another admirer of the Golden Sword Saint Andrew, to the same extent that he worships Adam, the Grand Duke of the Griffon.

To the Celts, the Church of Frans and the Dawn from Uppler was indeed an intruder, and these three words fell especially harshly in the ears of the generals of the aristocratic parliament. Yes, the Federation of Seven Cities has been unified into a new Griffon Principality, which is full of vitality, but what about their noble council? Not only did he fail to give birth to his own golden powerhouse, but he was also humiliated by the Church of the Dawn from France.

In just two months, the entire aristocratic council of people who disobeyed the rule of the Church of the Dawn were all replaced and sent to unimportant positions, and the new ones were all followers of the Lord of the Dawn, at least the soft bones who were willing to accept the rule of the Church of the Dawn. Under the oppression of the two golden powerhouses of the Church of the Dawn, they had no room for resistance, and because they were unwilling to cooperate, even the speaker of the noble council, Mejay, was stripped of all his positions and powers, and placed under house arrest in his own mansion. More opposition personnel were sent to the battlefield to take charge of the battle against the Duchy of Griffon.

"Since the decapitation operation failed, then use the war to drag down the so-called Duchy of Griffon." Gavin told Gwenda in the order that the Council of Nobles could get Frans' support at any time, and that the Duchy of Griffons was only a small Duchy - of course, Gavin would not admit anything to the Duchy of Griffons. And he had another purpose: after the war began, even if these people opposed the Church of the Dawn, they would have to kill the soldiers of the Seven Cities Federation with their own hands. As the war continues and the hatred increases, the hostility will become more and more high, and the contradictions between the two sides will further expand, and the Federation of Seven Cities will not want to unify Celtic with this.

Some of the generals' faces flushed, and if they didn't have enough strength, they really wanted to clear the army of the forces belonging to the Church of Dawn first, and then go to war with the Duchy of Griffons to see who would finally accomplish the feat of unifying Celts. A knight on a white steed stepped forward from behind, he was the Gwenda Knight of the Church of Dawn, the supreme commander of the army of the noble council, and this unforgiving reality caused the ashamed generals to bury their heads deeply.

"A false god who hides in the shadows like a rat! It is my mission to remove the power of the false gods and redeem the Federation of Seven Cities! Gwenda, who was not good at words, remembered Gavin's words before leaving, and secretly decided in his heart that no matter what the other party said next, he would not take it again, and directly drew his sword and had a battle with the other party first, the battle between the golden sword master and the knight.

The battle will be fought in front of both armies, carrying the faith and will of both sides, and the victorious side will undoubtedly achieve unprecedented high morale, and the losing side will suffer a huge impact.

"Swear by glory before God and drive out the invaders!" Andrew drew his sword and raised it high towards the sun. From Wesker's point of view, Andrew's whole body was bathed in a golden ray of sunlight, as if the sun had laid a beam of sunlight specifically for him. The long sword and silver armor reflected a faint halo in the sunlight, and the whole person looked extremely divine.

"The dawn will illuminate the darkness, and I come with salvation!" Thanks to the teachings of knights when he was a child, Gwenda was able to shout this famous word of the Church of the Dawn so passionately, and his momentum was no weaker than Andrew's, and he was very satisfied with it.

The whole battlefield suddenly fell silent, there was no sound, and the next moment, with a bang, the long swords of the two knights collided, and the battle belonging to the Golden Sword Master began! (To be continued.) )
