The rescue team pursued all the way outward, but did not find the temple guards who had escaped before in the village, so they began to search one by one along the village, until the fourth village, and without warning, they were directly surrounded by the three thousand knights of the "Holy Cult Army" who had gathered and ambushed in advance.

The "Rosicrucius" came with the purpose of a joint discussion, and the leader of the team was a "Templar Bishop" who could enter the core of power in three years - when he saw the "Holy Religious Army" around him, he rode out of the queue unhurriedly, expressing his desire to talk to the leader, but he never thought that a guy in a church robe would come out of the messy equipment in front of him...

Claude, the elder of the "Viper Cross", had a calm face, while the Templar bishop of the "Rosicrucle" was instantly wet with cold sweat. He realized that the Pope and the College of Cardinals might have misjudged what was happening, but before he could make any decisions, Claude in front of him had already raised the scepter in his hand...

"Kill!"

"Poof!"

Sharp arrows suddenly burst out, piercing the sacred shield that the opponent hastily cast, and when the "Templar Bishop" screamed and fell off his horse, the believers hidden in the "Holy Cult Army" began to encircle with a roar, and the knights who did not know the truth had no way to retreat at this time, so they could only be wrapped up and join the battle...

At this point, all of the Temple's foreign armed forces had completely fallen.

In the chaos of the battlefield, the Templar guards struggled to support their barely erected formation, but were attacked by an enemy several times their size on the plains, and this resistance lasted only a few minutes before it collapsed - the superior equipment turned from an advantage to a burden, and the soldiers fled desperately one by one, while desperately taking off all their armor...

However, they were greeted by knights.

"Kill! rob him of his armor!"

"That sword is mine!"

In this chaotic battlefield, the mercenary knights had no grace at all, and some poor and crazy fellows even jumped off their horses to strip the armor off the corpses - after all, the armor made of pure metal was extremely expensive, and the Templar Diocese had been rich for many years, and the quality of these armaments far exceeded the Xibei goods in the hands of these three sects and nine streams, so it was not surprising that they caused a robbery.

Roddy rode on his horse, running back and forth on the battlefield somewhat aimlessly - he looked a little dazed, but he was actually secretly observing the Elder Claude, as the true powerhouse of the "Pit Viper Cross" on this battlefield, Claude was extremely powerful in his shadow magic, and almost single-handedly suppressed more than a hundred Temple guards who tried to resist.

However, Roddy's gaze never rested on Claude, because he knew that this kind of gaze was very sensitive to the more advanced guys, so he did not forget to use his clumsy sword skills to slash left and right twice while running.

"Raphael, don't run away by yourself! Follow the uncle and I will cut together, this is called pleasure!"

Zach snorted unrestrainedly, and loved this kind of tailwind fight all more—his horse had a string of loot, and it was clear that it was quite fruitful. After seeing Roddy's performance, he showed generosity, and the knights around him, who were faintly led by him, also waved at Roddy, signaling to join the battle group.

"Well... Okay!"

Roddy pretended to be rusty and steered the horses, but out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Claude, who had stopped and stood in the middle of the guards...

The Templars fleeing from the battlefield felt like they were suffering in Hell, while the Templar soldiers wished that everything was just a nightmare.

After all, it was to blame that they hadn't been hit by the enemy for too many years - no one had dared to come here for nearly thirty years since the temple area ****, so the temple had a habit of not having curfew at night.

According to the rules, the gates are closed after dark, and all gates are left open during the day. And today's sudden situation obviously surprised the city defense army. After hesitating for a while, they cautiously closed the other gates, leaving only the main gate open for the return of the "Temple Guard" troops.

The "Temple" naturally has more troops than in the city, and if there is a need for war, the Pope will order it together, and the major dioceses will immediately gather thousands of troops. But in the space of a few hours, the "temple" simply can't do that.

In peacetime, raising a large number of troops is completely a burning of money, so there are really only more than 1,000 standing troops that can be used in a hurry, and the only ones left are the inner city guards and the Holy See guards who cannot be moved, as well as the city defense troops responsible for patrolling the city.

The city defense unit is one of the poorest quality soldiers, and basically can serve without receiving any military training. Therefore, even the captain of the city defense team has no military sensitivity - according to common sense, when the city enters a state of war, the defense of the entire "temple" should be taken over by the bishop and the "temple guard", but at this time there are only 100 "temple guards" left, and the bishop in charge of defense has never been in a war, so he does not think that there is anything to defend at the moment, and he sits in the pavilion outside the city, waiting for the news of the joint discussion ahead.

But before he could sit down and take a sip of tea, the soldiers on the city wall screamed and sent an alarm.

"What's going on? What's going on?"

The bishop got up to inquire, only to learn that a neatly armored troop had suddenly appeared on the road in the distance, and the cavalry in the vanguard was speeding towards the city!

The news immediately made him a little confused--if it wasn't for the Templar guards who had just been dispatched, who would it be? Could it be that Count Mirno, expressing his displeasure, had sent his knightly troops to negotiate in person?

From the beginning to the end, he never thought that the "Temple" might face a frontal attack by the "Pit Viper Cross", because such a thing would be ridiculous to think about. And when he climbed the city wall and saw the black-robed clergy in the army in the distance, his eyes widened...

"This—" He glanced left and right, and suddenly shouted aloud, "Shut up—go and close the gates!"

His entire back was instantly soaked in cold sweat, and when he turned his head to look under the city wall again, he found that the hundreds of cavalry galloping at a rapid pace had rushed hundreds of meters away...

The iconic black robe of the "Pit Viper Cross" is clearly recognizable, the knight in armor has a grim face, and the cavalry spear in his hand is pointed to the sky - this is obviously not to negotiate, but to prepare to take advantage of the situation!

The "Temple" was not a fortress in the traditional sense, but a religious city with walls built on the basis of the expansion of a town, so the city did not have a moat. And the ravines that had been dug to defend against the cavalry had long since been smoothed by the rain in the years of peace. So in this case, the biggest means of defense of the "temple" is the city wall, and if the other party breaks in, the consequences are unimaginable... (To be continued.) )
