Chapter 397: Unfriendly Guest

The roar of huge cannons from the south bank of the Whitewater River could be faintly heard in the dock square.

The people of Cecil knew that it was a loud noise made by the magic weapons unique to the combat corps, and behind each loud noise was a devastating explosion, even the fire explosion spell issued by the great magician could not be compared with the power of those giant cannons, and the people of Cecil, who had seen the explosive power of the Rebecca crystal with their own eyes, and had read an analysis of this war in the newspaper, believed that in the face of those powerful cannons, Count Hossman and his rabble had no chance of winning at all- Just like the aberrations who attacked the territory twice but were defeated twice, they had no chance of winning.

The people of this era have not yet experienced the baptism of information explosion, nor have they questioned the habits of the lord, the influence of the scarcity of information sources and heavy labor life still exists on them, and after finally having access to information from the outside world, and the ability to read and think, they almost immediately and unconditionally believe everything the newspaper and the lord said, they do not care, and they do not even think about what the two armies of 70,000 men organized by Count Hossman mean, since the lord said that they can win, Then you can definitely win.

This situation is certain to change one day with the advancement of education and cultural development, but at least for the present stage, this near-blind trust and following is necessary to ensure that the unity and morale of the Cecil people are high.

Half of the city was near the dock square, listening to the roar of artillery fire from upstream, but Cecil's outstanding discipline still restrained the people who had a job to do, and most of them stayed at their posts, continuing to do their part, and waiting for tomorrow's "extra" to announce the latest situation on the front.

A pair of pale golden illusory eyes floated above the southern city wall, its color was extremely pale and almost completely blended into the background of the sky, and after a few seconds, the eyes condensed by the power of the holy light gradually dissipated.

In a small dense forest outside the southern city wall, next to the Dark Mountain Range, an old man wearing a white gold-trimmed priest's robe and a triple crown with intricate ornaments on his head slowly opened his eyes, and a pale golden light flashed in his eyes.

"What a surprise, when the city is still so calm when it is shrouded in war and the invading enemy is even larger than the population of the whole city......" The old man in the priest's robe couldn't help but exclaim, "I really don't know that Gawain? What kind of demagogic methods did Duke Cecil use to make order in the city so ......"

A middle-aged priest beside the old man couldn't help but shake his head: "I'm afraid that the people in the city don't even know the news of the war, if they knew what kind of army was attacking their city, they would have fled long ago." ”

"Deception and deception...... This is in keeping with the duke's act of sheltering heresy," said the old man with a mild and indifferent expression, "presumably those sinners who have disobeyed the will of the Lord and believed in heretical gods should now hide in the city...... Come with me, ladies and gentlemen, for it is time for the heretics to recognize the reality that even if they flee to the south, hiding in the cities of the Cecil, they will not escape the Lord's punishment. ”

As he spoke, the old man took a stride out of the forest, and behind him, one after another, heavily armed figures stepped out of their hiding place.

It was a full twelve papal knights with powerful Holy Light power, they were wearing holy enchanted armor made of pure gold and light cast iron, and the armor was also covered with pale gold cloaks embroidered with the Holy Light Proverbs, the enchanted swords in their hands were surging with primitive and pure holy light power, and even the war horses under their crotches were also draped in armor made of the highest quality stainless steel - every knight here has high-level strength, they are experienced and skillful, coupled with their luxurious equipment, even in the face of a legend, They can last long enough!

These are the forces that the Church of the Light is most proud of, and it is the strength of this "healing" church that believes in the Light and is dominated by priests to become the strongest church in Ansu, and the powerful papal knights have both the power of the Light and the skilled and physically strong warriors who use special methods to proclaim the power of the Light - usually by hacking to death those who do not believe in the Light.

The old man in the robes of the Phnom Penh priest, Bishop Lemont of the Southern Diocese of the Holy Light Church glanced at the centaurs he brought with satisfaction - the Holy Light Church has a weak power in the southern region, but it is not without savings, half of the twelve knights who broke through to the highest rank are reinforcements sent by the Central Diocese, and the other half is the strength of the Southern Diocese itself, these pious and fanatical warriors can fight to the death for their faith until the last moment of their lives, and today, it is time for these noble warriors to prove their faith to the Lord.

Even the founding duke of the kingdom must not destroy the Lord's cause!

The old man led his squires and twelve knights out of the dense forest, and a majestic light burst out from them, and although there were only fourteen of them, they exuded a great power like thousands of horses, and a sense of presence that could not be ignored - these church combatants had no idea of hiding their tracks at all, and they even deliberately swaggered!

Because their mission is to appear in front of the city openly - they know that there are legendary guards in the city, and relying on the form of squad action to touch the dense forest outside the city is already the limit of high-level transcendentals, and it is almost impossible to enter the city and destroy it under the nose of the legend, so it is better to show up with swagger. And their mission isn't to take the city - they just need to hold Gawain down? Cecil's legend will do!

Bishop Lemont knew that the battle in the north had begun, and that now Count Hossmann and his army of 50,000 men might have captured the Kant region and were marching south along the Wilderness Road, and that the Count of Pepbo, who was flowing down the River Whitewater to the west, should also arrive in Cecil's territory in the near future, and that it would not be difficult for the 70,000-strong army to take the city, which had been established less than a year ago—although the Cecil had built a tall wall and the natural barrier of the Whitewater River, 70,000 men could have besieged the city to death.

Everything is safe and secure, only Gawain? Cecil, a legendary powerhouse himself, is a huge threat.

Lemont knows what level of the "coalition army" convened by Count Hossman is, and the southern border that has been peaceful for a long time can't pull out many decent troops, and it's okay for them to rely on numbers to crush ordinary opponents, but once they encounter a setback, they may collapse immediately, and a legendary powerhouse can easily come and go in such a rotten army, once Gawain? Cecil appears and plunders the coalition army, or directly kills the nobles in the coalition army regardless of the rules of the noble game, then the tens of thousands of troops are likely to fall into chaos.

Ordinary nobles may not do things like sneak attacks and kill other nobles on the battlefield, but Gawain? Cecil is different, he has hardly followed the rules of the nobility since the coffin was opened, although this sentence is funny, but now the nobles in the south know this fact: the ancestor he violated the ancestral system!

Therefore, in order to avoid this only accident on the battlefield, Bishop Lemont and his church knights must appear in the main city of Cecil during the fierce battle of the coalition forces, and take Gawain? Cecil is firmly dragged here!

Just wait until all the resistance of the Cecil is broken up by the coalition forces, leaving only Gawain? Cecil's legend can't make any waves.

Bishop Lemont pondered in his heart how the Church of the Holy Light should carry out its activities in the southern diocese after the complete collapse of Cecil's ancient and stubborn family, and then raised his head and looked at the city wall of Cecil that was already standing not far away - the soldiers defending the city had of course noticed the arrival of an uninvited guest, and now there were figures running around the wall, and Bishop Lemont just quietly looked at those who were running, his expression was gentle and pity.

He raised his hand, and a powerful holy light rushed into the sky—such an obvious provocation that the lord hiding in the city must have seen.

Then he opened his mouth, ready to use the "Voice of the Heavens" magic to let the people of the city know why the judgment of the Light had befallen them: it was because they had sheltered heresy and provoked the wrath of the God of Light.

But just as he was about to recite the prayer, an incomprehensible humanoid creature with the same glow appeared on the wall not far away.

The creature was tall and terrifying, imbued with the glow of magic, his body resembling an amorphous mass of arcane energy, relying on a piece of armor engraved with runes to maintain the general outline of a human being, and he appeared in a floating form on the high city walls, and before he could speak, a powerful arcane lightning bolt suddenly pierced the sky.

"It seems that you are the 'unfriendly guests' that the lord refers to," the unbelievable energy creature spoke, its voice rumbling like thunder, "Stop, you have invaded the land of Cecil!" ”

"Wherever the Holy Light shines, it is the land of the Lord!" Bishop Lemont clenched the staff in his hand and looked at the energy creature on the city wall with vigilance, he thought that the first person to show up must be the legendary lord, but he didn't expect a creature that seemed to be an elemental creature or a magical creature to appear on the city wall, "I am Lemont, the southern bishop of the Holy Light Church, in the name of the Holy Light, I am here to negotiate with your lord!" ”

"Negotiations?" Kamel's voice rumbled, "Negotiate with twelve heavily armed knights? And you're already unsheathed! ”

"Because of what Cecil has done over the past few days, we have to choose to face you with the highest vigilance," Bishop Lemont cried out, "You have sheltered the cultists who have been exiled by the Church of Light, and for the purity of the Light, I have been appointed to complete the trial of those cultists. ”

Kamal shook his head—in fact, he wanted to send a mocking expression, but he didn't have an expression, so he could only shake his head: "Then it seems that you are going to return in vain, Your Excellency, the heretics in your mouth have been justly tested by the law of Cecil, they are innocent, and now they are legal citizens of this land, and your actions are challenging the laws of Cecil." ”

Bishop Lemont seemed to be waiting for this sentence - he needed a reason to make the knights' actions to "practice the power of the Light" seem a little more appropriate, and now the Cecil's complete cover-up of heresy and the words of the power creature had given him a reason: when will the lord's law judge the bishop of the region?

The bishop couldn't help but smile: "In that case, we will have to resort to force. ”

The knights raised their swords one after another, and the surging light began to surge between them.

But before they could attack, Kamal had already spoken: "It just so happens that I can use you guys to test my new project." Rainbow unit, prepare for overload capacitors! ”
