"Die, church wretch!"

After the Knights of Punishment and the Knights of Dawn joined the battle, the soldiers of the principality who had recaptured most of the city walls finally launched a counterattack that had been suppressed for a long time, and at the same time, a small group of spearmen scolded and scolded, neatly stabbed the weapons in their hands into the bodies of several immortals who had been back against the wall and could not retreat, and then they were still angry and picked up the corpses with their spears, as if demonstrating or showing off, and threw them down to the city......

"May the wrath of the Most High God tear these abominable heathens, look, look! What have they done, not even the beasts will desecrate the corpses of their opponents! I curse all the people of this land, they are like a bunch of unteachable devils......"

After the fog slowly cleared, Nathaniel's good eyesight was enough for him to see everything that was happening on the battlefield, and the screams and wails of the immortals before death continued to reach his ears with the wind, and the Pope couldn't help but clasp his hands in front of his chest, and his mouth kept babbling to vent his dissatisfaction

However, everyone, including Rolf, knew that Nathaniel was not complaining about the soldiers who looked like ants in his eyes, but only because the badly injured Aeoris had become restless and had to be vented and diverted with the help of something

"The beast, of course, does not desecrate the corpse of an opponent...... They will only be enjoyed, and I will not desecrate my dinner...... Damn it! Why should I struggle with this! ”

Saru, who was a little irritated by Nathaniel's Shinto chanting, muttered in a low voice very disrespectfully, looked at Rolf, who was not expressionless next to him, gritted his teeth, and still stepped forward and whispered a suggestion

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, let the soldiers retreat, without the cover of the strange fog, it will be difficult for us to support the battle above after the other side has recaptured most of the city, and the number of enemy archers and crossbowmen who have not played a role for the time being will cause our soldiers to lose a lot of money on the way to the city wall......"

After finishing speaking, Saru glanced at Nathaniel in front of him, stepped aside and stopped talking, anyway, he felt that he had done his best to be benevolent, if the other party still insisted on it for the sake of face, ignoring the steps he gave, it didn't matter to the Grand Master of the Glory Knights, anyway, the soldiers of the church who died left and right were just kindly reminded him as an ally......

Looking down at Saru, who looked down and seemed respectful, Rolf sighed secretly in his heart, perhaps no one knows each other better than him, after all, this is the only confidant and friend he can trust!

Rolf, who saw through Nathaniel's death and wanted to take the opportunity to consume some of the church's strength, was unwilling to embarrass Saru for this matter, and snorted at the Pope who was pretending to be silent

"Alright, don't hold your face anymore Nathaniel, you heard Saru's words, anyway, no matter what the knights and soldiers we are going to send reinforcements, I will order them to return, as for you...... Oh! Perhaps, with the blessing of the High God, the Templars and Immortals might still have hope of victory? ”

Hearing this, he couldn't help but shudder, Nathaniel barely pulled an ugly smile from the corner of his mouth, and scolded Rolf for his frivolity and recklessness in his heart, and had to pretend to be a deep mouth in his mouth

"No, Your Majesty, well, I mean that Commander Saru's proposal is very correct, although these warriors under the command of the Supreme God can indeed fight, but the dissipation of the fog will definitely cause casualties that we should have avoided, you know, the injury suffered by every child makes me extremely heartbroken and blameful, besides, the sky is getting darker, we have no plans to fight at night, and the soldiers who have been fighting all day also need to rest and recover their strength......"

"Humph! Perhaps, but dear Pope, you'd better get the horn of retreat as soon as you make up your mind, I seem to have seen how many of your knights have lost in this moment, and as far as I know, every Templar is a fanatical believer, requiring both faith and great strength, and I think this kind of manpower is not too easy to replenish, right? Oh! The Most High God is above, and another one has fallen......

"Your Majesty, you ......"

Speaking of which, Nathaniel, a scheming fox, is indeed very disadvantaged in the face of Rolf's tired and somewhat rogue character, most of the time there is no trace of what should be a noble demeanor from him, and the dignity of the emperor's status makes it almost impossible for anyone in this world to accuse him face-to-face

With a wry smile, the Pope didn't bother to pay attention to Rolf, and at his signal, soon, the sound of a desolate horn came from the main formation of the coalition army, representing the sound of retreat, but it was easy to go up to the city and difficult to go down, and under the oppression of the principality's army, there were only a few who could escape the city wall safely......

"The enemy has retreated, my marshal, and the scene is a little different from what you expected......"

Looking at the tide of retreating enemy troops, Leo finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his straight body, which had been jumping because of nervousness, also softened a little, and he subconsciously wanted to stretch his waist, but his hand was halfway through to wake up, and he blocked this move that did not conform to his identity

"Your Highness, you're right, now I'm also thinking about what is the reason for my prediction to be biased, it is said that after capturing the city to form a relatively stable fulcrum, the enemy should continue to invest troops to stabilize and expand, and finally, after their cannon fodder far exceeds our number and continuously consumes our elite physical strength and morale, let their elite soldiers lay the victory in one fell swoop......"

Holding his chin with one hand in rare confusion, Al Andrésters fell into a constant cycle of entanglement

Reaching out and patting the other party's shoulder, Leo didn't care

"Whatever he is, victory is victory, and if everything has to be pursued for a cause, people will be very tired, dear marshal, I think you should have people do away with your back, whether it be the traps under the inner walls, the straw and fire oil covering the houses in the city, or the soldiers hidden in the houses...... You know, I don't want our soldiers to be lost at the hands of the enemy, and to be wounded in the trap we created after exhaustion! ”

“…… I see, Your Highness, although I think you are telling a very serious joke, but...... Well, I'll send someone to inform them to pack everything now......"

"Hmm!"

Ignoring Al's complaints, Leo took a deep breath of fishy air with his hands behind his back, the western sky, the golden sunset was trying to exude the last light, dispelling the fog little by little, slowly but surely regaining his lost ground from the haze

The walls of white rock reflect a faint glare in the setting sun, and groups of soldiers are supporting everywhere under the leadership of the commander, cooperating with the knights to constantly surround and kill the enemy who has not yet removed the wall......

The sporadic and feeble resistance was soon cleared up in patches, the shouts of killing gradually stopped, and the cries of the wounded who had been suppressed before began to spread again, and a creepy and desolate atmosphere permeated the city walls and above

In the end, among the enemies who were able to retreat relatively intact under the city wall, the Knights Templar, except for Aeoris who was seriously injured by Finn, 400 of the 1,000 knights finally left their lives on the city wall, and the 30,000 immortals, and even only 8,000 returned to the main formation, plus the losses of the previous imperial side, the coalition side once again tasted the bitter fruit of defeat in the first siege battle with the help of the fog, almost a 10 to 1 battle loss ratio, even as the besieging party, the high-level of the coalition army smacked their tongues and frowned......

Accompanied by the two loyal guards and the punishment knights beside him, Leo had just taken a few steps in the direction of the city wall, and subconsciously raised his feet and rubbed them on the ground, and looked down, only to find the root cause of this uncomfortable feeling, like dozens of bloody streams, flowing everywhere along the cracks of the city bricks and along the terrain

If you can look down from the air on the ancient city wall that has been weathered for a hundred years, those puddles of blood and water are like small lakes, emitting a poignant and transparent light like ruby in the sun

"My lord? There are also some remaining enemies that have not been completely cleared, and it is still a bit dangerous for you to get too close to the battlefield area"

Finn, who was directing the punishment knight to clean up the battlefield, saw Leo Shi Ran walking slowly, hurriedly took a few steps, buckled his chest and saluted, and then opened his mouth to persuade

"There are battlefields everywhere, my dear Finn, if the enemy is not completely defeated, for us the whole principality and the entire northern region is a battlefield! Well, that's all there is to say, good job my friend, after your sword, I am afraid that you will be the strongest knight on this continent, and perhaps in a few hundred years, you will also become a legend in the mouth of the bard! ”

With a light punch to Finn, Leo made a few jokes with his Grand Master after relenting

"Huh! You know we've never cared about that, but speaking of which, my lord, I'm a little worried about whether the Dragon's Tears Gem will become known to more and more people in the Church, after all, you know that not everyone can resist the temptation to gain power easily......"

Frowning, Finn whispered his doubts

"What a mistake I made before...... Ay! But fortunately, the number of dragon tears shed is not much, and the church? Hum! There is absolutely no way that this group of gods will share this news with anyone else...... No, Finn, you mentioned gaining power? Don't? ”

"Yes, my lord, this is exactly what I am going to report to you, Kane said that Aeoris is far stronger than before, and he himself admitted that he used dragon tears, I have to regret to tell you that there may be more dragon tears gems in the hands of the church......"

There was some rare worry in Finn's tone, Dragon Tears were unlike anything else, and many unknown forces had not even been fully understood by their Pander people

With a sigh of relief, quietly staring at the breath turning into a straight white mist in the cold weather, Leo shook his head and said categorically

"We can be vigilant, but there is no need to worry about it all the time, and what happened is irreparable, if there is an uncontrollable situation one day, I will personally make up for my mistake and completely stop it all!"
