Chapter 373: The Vampire Queen Appears
Lake went to the Holy City, and with his status as an honorary priest, he began to urge the supply of weapons for his subordinate right army.
And in the Lake Cross key card, after completing the previous two major tasks, it is useless to obtain a large number of mission points.
Lake directly distributed these points to the general-level priests of the Right Route Army, and asked them to buy whatever they wanted before leaving.
Anyway, Lake doesn't need these points, and it's a waste to keep them.
For the next month, Lake went to the Right Priest Corps every day to watch the recruits exercise, and by the way, he became familiar with the combat methods of the Orthodox Cleric, so that when he was in command, he could become familiar with the movement of the troops and the strengths and weaknesses of the battle.
In about a month, the snow began to melt, and the bald saint boss, led the 20,000 mid-road priests, left the holy city first.
The gates of the Holy City opened, and Lake led the right army, and the priestess led the left army, and then left the city.
Hymns resounded in the Holy City, sending off the Clergy, the ultimate legion of the Holy City.
The battle against vampires in the Holy City has officially begun.
The right-flank clergy commanded by Lake, armed with motorcycles and troop carriers, headed for the wasteland.
Lake looked at the large map of human cities in his hand, which belonged to the cities to be cleared by the Priest Regiment on the right, and half of them were close to the coast, which also made Lake feel somewhat relieved.
In the first battle, if you want to attack a larger one, you must win all of them in order to boost morale, after all, there are too many new clergy in this army who have never been on the battlefield.
Lake did not rush to divide his troops, led the right legion, and marched towards a large city in the wasteland, and at night, a plain far away from this large city stopped, Lake ordered the whole army to prepare for battle, and set up the battle formation that had been trained before.
The vampires also knew that night was the only way for them to fight, and after the clergy army approached, more than 4,000 vampires in the city chose to go out at night to meet the clergy legion, and the vampires also knew that they could not wait until dawn for these clergy to enter the city.
"The Fiery Eyes skill is activated, the Vampire Aura talent skill is activated, and the advanced clone summoning technique is activated." During the Great War, Lake unleashed his skills to assist the Priests in battle.
Fortunately, with the absolute superiority of the number of priests, more than 4,000 vampires were constantly killed in the battle against the clergy solidarity.
At the cost of their lives, the vampires saw the power of the Legion of Priests.
After the clergy army on the right side captured the first human city after dawn, the vampire creature sacs hidden in the city could not be hidden at all under the fire eye skill of Ryker, and they were quickly cleaned up by the clergy team.
More than 14,000 clergy troops were divided into two ways by Lake, with 7,000 clergy troops, mainly to intercept the vampire army outside the city, and Lake took nearly 8,000 clergymen to attack the city.
After Lake had commanded a few battles, the Church's assistant commanders shut up.
The command ability displayed by the Second Venerable Priest was already too much for them to intervene.
The battle of the clergy of the right army was very smooth, and the clergy generals sighed that God was bless them.
When attacking a city occupied by the vampires by the sea, before the attack, a large tsunami will sweep through the vampire herd in the city, providing them with a great advantage in the subsequent battles, and similar things happen all the time.
However, the cities occupied by the vampires are relatively scattered, and the clergy of the right army will no longer divide the troops under Lake's strategic intent, and the captured cities will not be occupied for long, as long as the clergy leave, they will be reoccupied by the vampires.
Anyway, in the face of vampires who don't have long-range weapons and their strength will decline during the day, Lake doesn't care about the city being occupied, the main thing is to be able to disperse the number of vampire groups in this area.
In the first year or so that Ryker has been in this dungeon world, the Human Clergy has fought dozens of battles with vampires.
The Priest Regiment of the Right Army, captured two strategic cities.
Winter is on again, and heavy snow not only limits the movement speed of vampires, but also restricts the movement of vehicles such as the Legion's powered motorcycles.
Lake regrouped his forces, abandoning the two major cities and rallying his forces to the seaside.
In winter, the supply troops of the Holy City may not arrive in time, and they may also encounter attacks by high-level vampires with flying abilities along the way.
Rex simply gave up supplies from the Holy City and began to cheat, letting the fish in the ocean swim to the shore on their own to serve as food for the Legion of the Right Army Priests led by himself.
The Priesthood of the Right Route Army, now known as the Apocalypse Priesthood Regiment, in the cities occupied by the Right-Route Army, water will come out of dry wells, and when passing by the river, schools of fish will automatically jump ashore.
The problem of food and drinking water was solved, so that the clergy of the Right Army could eat several times better in winter than when there were supplies from the Holy City.
Lake continues to lead the clerics to clear the coastal vampire cities in the winter when the snow is not heavy.
The battle between the priests and the vampires continues.
By the fifth year of the battle, the vampire groups had completely abandoned coastal cities, and even rivers that passed near cities or towns, in the area where the Right Army Mission was fighting.
They have already discovered the evil sect of the Right Priest Legion, and they will be attacked by waves and tsunamis before they can fight with the Right Legion of the Priests in the coastal cities.
After paying so many lives, the vampires now believe in this evil and stay away from the coastline.
Fortunately, during the rainstorm season, after Lake gradually became proficient in controlling the water control ability of the Poseidon Trident, he could also provide some help to the clergy in battle.
This battle with the vampire exceeded Lake's previous expectations, and the battle was extremely difficult, mainly because the four vampire nests in the vampire's base camp could not be defeated.
The battle has not yet been decided until the fifteenth year. The number of priests in Lake's hands is only 10,000, but after fifteen years of fighting, the original new priests have grown into battlefield masters of hunting vampires.
The vampire group, in the fifteenth year, began to choose to gather troops, facing the three major clergyman legions of the human race, the vampire group, assembled into the four vampire groups, relying on the four vampire lairs, began to fight with the three major clergy legions.
At the end of the fifteenth year, Lake received a call for help from the Holy City, and the vampires of the third group of the four vampire lairs were moving in the direction of the Holy City, and would soon attack the Holy City.
The Bishop of the Holy City sent an order for the three legions of clergy to return to the city immediately to help.
Lake looked at the letter of help in his hand, and directly sent troops to attack the mountains of the third vampire's lair.
At this time, the third vampire's lair is empty, and the third and fourth vampire nests are far apart.
And the vampire group of the first and second lair has already started a melee with the mid-lane clergy led by the bald saints, and they can't draw reinforcements at all.
Lake felt that this was a rare opportunity to destroy the third lair of the vampires. Maybe the vampire queen is in the third vampire lair, and once it is destroyed, her main quest will be completed.
Instead of going to the rescue, Lake chose to attack the third vampire lair, and his priest generals agreed with Lake's decision.
After all, after almost fifteen years of fighting, none of the four major vampire lairs have been captured, and this battle has left the priests hopeless.
Lake's Right Legion, the Third Vampire Lair.
The legion of clergy led by the priestess on the left chose to go back to rescue the Holy City after being ordered by the bishop.
Lake actually felt that the priestess didn't need to go back to help.
It has been fifteen years since the first 50,000 clergy army left the Holy City, and the Holy City has sent some supplies and equipment to these clergy legions in the first few years, and then they don't care much about them.
The equipment in Lake's unit has been repaired and maintained by the clergymen in the regiment themselves over the years.
Fifteen years later, when he first left the Holy City, the Holy City still had one or two thousand priests left behind, and it had an armed force.
Fifteen years later, the armed forces of the Holy City and the number of civilians in the Holy City have been contained in the Holy City during these years of fighting.
The defensive combat strength of the Holy City was no worse than the combat strength of their clergy legions. And Lake knows that there are still half angels under the Holy City, and Lake doesn't believe that a vampire army with only one lair can destroy the Holy City.
The priestess was still too merciful, Lake sighed, but the army under the command of others, Lake couldn't interfere.
The combat positions of the Left Route Army and the Right Route Army are too far apart, and in the past fifteen years, Lake has not touched the Left Route Army once, and has touched the Middle Route Army led by the bald saint a few times.
A week later, the third lair of the vampires was captured by the Right Clergy Army led by Lake, and the right army was able to capture this large mountain lair of the vampires at the cost of 2,000 Clergy, or with the assistance of Lake's fiery eye detection skills.
Luckily, Lake didn't attack this lair in advance, the terrain inside is too suitable for vampire creatures to fight, if it weren't for the vampire army in the third lair to stay away, the priests who came this time are probably all buried in this lair.
It's a pity that after capturing the lair, in this third vampire lair, Lake does not have the existence of a vampire queen.
Lake chose to have the Clergy secretly plant explosives collected from the previous city, and then the army stood outside the lair, waiting for the vampires to evacuate.
Ten days later, Lake didn't wait in vain, and the third vampire lair sent back to fly the vampire horde, ready to snatch back their lair.
With the sound of an explosion, the third vampire's lair, which was full of explosives, was detonated, and many flying high-level vampires were seriously injured and died, and the explosion continued to explode to the surface from each hole deep in the lair, and the large mountain range was blown up, and the remaining vampires chose to flee.
This third vampire lair was completely destroyed by the clergy army on the right and turned into a rocky hill.
The Third Vampire Army, which attacked the Holy City, was flanked by the Left Clergy Legion and the Armed Forces of the Holy City on the way, and fled after being defeated.
The Clergy had finally seen hope of victory after fighting the vampires for the fifteenth year.
The left-lane clergy led by the clergywoman has only about 6,000 clergy left, the middle clergy led by the bald saint has about 10,000 clergy, and the right-lane clergy led by Lake, because his commander has the help of fiery eyes and detection skills, he has avoided many vampire ambushes, and he also has 8,000 clergy troops.
The vampire group, at this time, only the first, second, and fourth nest groups remain, and the number is only about half of the original.
At this stage, the strength of the vampire and the clergy is almost equal.
The bald saints and priestesses tried to send letters to the Holy City, asking the Holy City to send a heavy firepower force composed of ordinary people to assist in the battle against the vampires, but unfortunately the replies to these letters were "the time has not come".
Lake has already seen through the Holy City, and if these priests don't die, the Holy City won't send any more reinforcements.
The Holy City simply does not send reinforcements, and there are still cities outside this world that have not been occupied by vampires.
Taking advantage of this victory in destroying the Third Vampire Lair Clergy, Lake began to visit these human cities along the way with the Right Army Clergy. More or less, let these human cities contribute some strength to fight the evil force of vampires, and these people can't sit back and enjoy their success.
The Priests on the right, with a five-thousand-heavy firepower army, once again fought the vampires.
After two battles, Lake assisted the Midlane Army and killed the second nest of vampires.
Lake found that it would be easier to kill vampires with a heavy firepower army composed of ordinary human soldiers, combined with a combination of clergy with strong individual combat strength, and this was the correct way to fight against vampires.
After looking at the power of the heavy firepower of the ordinary people of Venerable No. 2 with the assistance of the Second Venerable, the middle route army also began to go to the area under the responsibility of the middle lane clergy legion, those human cities that had not yet been affected by the war to 'request' troops.
The Legion of the Priests on the left is the same.
From the fifteenth year onwards, the alliance of humans and priests began to gradually gain the upper hand.
Ryker, the commander of the Right Army, sighed, no wonder the time of the dungeon world is given fifty years, this is too difficult to fight with vampires. It is said that ten years of life and death are boundless, but it has been fifteen years, and there are still three vampire nests left to fight.
By the twenty-fifth year of the battle, the Three-Way Clergy Army, armed with a heavily armed human army, went to attack the three lairs, and Lake, the bald saints, and the female priests used communicators to agree on a date for the attack.
After all, it is even more difficult to fight a lair alone once it is attacked by the rear of other vampire lairs, so at this time, the forces of the clergy have already occupied the advantage of the battlefield and launched a general attack together.
Ryker and the Bald Saints attacked well.
It took less than a week to capture the first and second vampire lairs, but on the priestess's side, there was an accident.
The Left Army of the Priestess, as well as the human army she led, completely lost contact with them three days after entering the Fourth Lair Mountains.
The bald saint then sent people to investigate, and found that the mountains were full of human corpses.
"The Vampire Queen is in the Fourth Lair, and the Vampires are even more powerful there!" After receiving a message from the Bald Saint, Ryker was able to determine the location of the target of the main quest.
