Lake returned to his room and lay straight on the bed, all the way back, scared that food and water had been thrown away during the vampire attack.

Fortunately, the Raike Seagod Trident can gather water sources, and its own fiery eye skills can also hunt.

When passing through some small towns, I would steal it, but I took the priestess with me and returned safely.

This is the same as Lake expected, lying down to lie back to the small mission, the way out is too big, it's right to lie down, almost lying back to hell and not returning to the Holy City.

Lake lay on the bed in his room, quickly fell asleep, and after more than ten hours of sleep before waking up and taking a simple cold shower.

Lake went downstairs to take a walk around the city, and after coming back this time, he obviously felt that the current holy city was different from before leaving.

It may be that the news of declaring war with vampires was revealed by the church higher-ups first, and the atmosphere in the city has become much more tense than before.

Fortunately, at this time, the people in the city still admired these priests who defended their homeland. Unlike the people outside the Holy City, when they saw the priests coming, they tried to stay away as much as possible as if they were thieves.

Lake found that the number of priests in the city had also increased, and they were not the new clergy youth, but the clergy who had been baptized in battle.

"The Holy City should start recalling the priests who are out on a mission to avoid being defeated by the vampire hordes one by one, and it seems that this great battle between the clergy and the vampire creatures is not far off. I just don't know if the strength of my copy of the World Priesthood can defeat the vampire group and achieve the final victory like in the movie. Lake looked at the armed priests walking through the streets of the city, and thought to himself.

On the third day of Lake's return to the Holy City, the bald priest came to visit Lake's residence and told him the good news that the bag of seeds that Lake and the priestess had brought back were a small number of improved new generation of high-yielding seeds, which had been analyzed by researchers in the Holy City.

The agricultural laboratories in the Holy City have already begun to cultivate these seeds, and they will be able to be planted on a large scale in the Holy City next year.

In this way, the Holy City was able to double the number of civilians outside the city that it had planned to accept by relying on the food it had previously stockpiled.

The pure water conversion instrument that collected air obtained from the previous mission was also studied by the researchers in the Holy City.

Several small prototypes have already been made, and after a period of debugging, they can be made in large quantities to ensure that the Holy City has an adequate supply of water after accommodating many civilians.

Lake was somewhat relieved after hearing this, at least this trip was not in vain, and it can be regarded as the most evil force in the holy city to which he belongs, and he has made some contributions before the war.

Lake thought that the half of the angels under the Holy City, fortunately, still knew the principle that rabbits did not eat the grass next to the nest, and did not take the land in the Holy City as well, otherwise the clergy legion against the vampires would not have enough clergy.

The skinhead also brought Lake a Legion of Honor from the Church, which was awarded to His Holiness No. 2 for his contribution to the Holy City.

His Holiness No. 2 has one, and the priestess also has one.

"The priestess, you can send it!" The bald saint said to Lake.

"Let me go here, I'll give it to her when I meet her in a few days." Lake received the Medal of Honor.

It's a pity that after receiving the medal, there was no prompt on Heavens Online, this medal did not play any role in improving attributes or adding layers, it was just an honorary item issued by the Holy City Church itself, not a prop recognized by Heavens Online.

Lake smiled bitterly and took the medal, and secretly sighed that the Holy City was too stingy, how could he give himself some treasures or something, send this small piece of metal, add a hook, what's the use.

"Didn't you bring your daughter and son-in-law back?" Lake asked the bald saint.

"She didn't come back, I tried to persuade once, but I had no choice but to send someone to make an extra secret cellar in her wooden house, hoping that when the vampires attacked, she would have time to hide in the secret cellar to save her life." The bald saint said.

Lake remembered the cellar in the movie where Lucy hid during the vampire attack.

Lake wants to tell the bald saints that that little broken cellar can't hide from vampires, and that you're just kidding yourself.

But Lake thought about it, but fortunately, Lucy has not been born yet, and he doesn't know if he will be born.

"It's okay, she lives in a cabin on the edge of the wasteland, and there is not much population nearby, and the large group of vampires can't look down on it, and there is a very small chance that she will visit." Lake said to the bald saint.

"I hope so!" The bald saint nodded.

The Bald Saint has been busy lately, studying the training of the new members of the Priesthood, and combining with the team of the Priests of the Priesthood, so he stayed at Lake's place for a while and left.

After a week in the Holy City, Lake learns the bad news that the vampires have not given humans more time to prepare and begin an organized attack on the city on a large scale.

In this wave of vampire attacks, the choice is to kill humans directly, not blood slaves.

With more than a dozen large human cities, within a week, they were occupied by vampires one after another, and all the humans inside were killed. Humans in other towns were scared.

Many humans have left their homes and fled for their lives to the Holy City.

The humans outside the Holy City have recognized the fact that the thermal weapons and soldiers they were proud of before could not hold back the large-scale attack of the vampire horde.

The vampire group didn't destroy them before, so it's probably that they are keeping humans in captivity.

Now that humans have fattened up, vampires are on the hunt.

In a city without cleric defense, once the vampire climbs the city wall, under close combat, ordinary soldiers are no match for vampires at all, as long as a certain number of vampires climb the city wall, the town can be declared occupied, and the citizens inside will face the slaughter of the vampire group.

Like a flood, refugees came from all directions, toward the holy city.

The top bishops of the Holy City gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

Although Al-Quds Al-Quds is prepared, it simply cannot accept so many refugees, and even if the seeds of the new generation are planted on a large scale, they will not be able to feed all the refugees.

The number of refugees gathered outside Al-Quds Al-Sharif is too great now, and more are coming. The gates of the holy city have been closed, and weapons have been set up on the walls.

Fortunately, the ferocity of the clergy is famous, and these refugees do not dare to storm the holy city, but once this matter is not resolved, after a long time, the number of refugees will increase dramatically, and the refugees who are short of food will take risks.

The bishops decided that the refugees would have to be screened before they could be placed in the Holy City.

But how to screen, once the fairness and criteria of screening are not handled well, before the vampire army comes to the Holy City, the Holy City will be defeated by the flow of refugees first.

The Bishops of the Holy City finally decided to start the final Clergy plan ahead of schedule.

Among the refugees, in order to enter, a strong person must be selected and voluntarily injected with the holy solution.

After the injection, those who survive to become orthodox clergy can have ten places of entry to the Holy City, which are issued to their loved ones, friends, or anyone.

Those who become orthodox clergy immediately join the training of the clergy.

Those who die after being injected with the holy liquid are not selected and are not pious enough, and will not be given a quota to enter the Holy City.

Those who have not been granted a quota to enter the Holy City are not allowed to gather within ten kilometers of the Holy City, otherwise the Holy City will send a clergy to clear it.

The method was brutal, but it would immediately solve the problem of the number of places to enter the Holy City and the strength of the clergy.

The new clergy, because their families are in the Holy City, can also have more to do when fighting vampires for the comfort of their families.

The number of clergy began to grow rapidly after the plan to enter the Holy City was implemented.

The number of refugees living in Al-Quds is also growing rapidly.

The number of priestly orders, in less than a month, had increased by 50,000 people, and the Holy City had received almost half a million refugees, and this number had stopped, because the Holy City could no longer provide holy fluids.

The Holy City began to send out clergy to drive out the refugees from the approaching Holy City.

The refugees who did not enter the holy city complained a lot, but fortunately, after accepting 500,000 refugees, the number of refugees who became refugees was not much, and the weather began to turn cold, and these refugees who could not enter the holy city had to leave.

Lake realized that it was no wonder that in the movie, ordinary humans were very afraid of priests, and it turned out that there was a situation like this before the battle with the vampire.

But Lake thought that if he was the archbishop, there was no better way. It is impossible for the Holy City to admit all the refugees to enter, and ordinary people outside have been given a chance, and those who do not grasp the opportunity to enter the city can only be left out.

In the Holy City, the old clergy began to become instructors, and they led these new clergymen to train in various training grounds.

After the weather turned cold, Lake heard the priests in the city discuss that this year's heavy snow was more than a month earlier than usual.

As the snow fell on the ground and the temperature dropped, the vampire hordes slowed down their attacks on human cities and began to digest human corpses to fuel themselves.

Winter has arrived, and the vampire creatures are not ready to fight the human holy city in the winter.

Ice and snow underground, which will affect the movement speed of vampires, which is very disadvantageous for the melee vampire army.

The Holy City took advantage of this early snowfall to gain a rare time to recuperate.

Similarly, the Clergy are training to increase their strength, and the vampire hordes are also relying on the human flesh they hunted before to devour and improve their strength.

The Great War will begin after the New Year, when the snow melts.

The factories in the Holy City are now very busy, making weapons for the Priesthood, power-bikes, producing warm clothing, making food, and so on.

When Lake went to the church a few days ago to see the training of the Protestants, he happened to meet the female priests who were on a mission with him.

"A gift for you!" Lake handed the Medal of Honor to the priestess.

The priestess was much more excited than Lake when she received the Medal of Honor.

"The Saint Boss has already filled the squad, and has transferred 7 orthodox priests who are experienced in fighting vampires to join the squad, and let me manage it on my behalf. The Saint Boss has been too busy lately, and if you have time, Number Two respects him and can help him share some of the best. The priestess said to Lake.

"Hmm. Don't worry, let the saint boss feel the pleasure of being busy again, and I'll look for him again after the New Year in a month. Lake said.

Now go to the bald saints, you can't get too much power, wait for a month, after the New Year, the training of the new clergy is completed, and after the establishment and distribution is over, Lake is ready to find the bald saints again.

After all, even if you go to the bald saint now, when the bald saint asks Lake which part he wants to help him share, Lake can't say that I want all your clergy troops.

"Let's spend this New Year in peace, this will probably be our last New Year in the Holy City. When the snow melts after the year, I am afraid that the battle with the vampires will last for years or even more than ten years, and it is not certain whether we will survive the war or not. The priestess also said with some pessimism.

"Don't worry, you will come back alive, and we will all come back alive." Lake said, and after talking to the priestess for a while, Lake excused himself and left.

Now the orthodox clergy, Lake is just an idler, and everyone else is working as an instructor or handling things.

Lake didn't apply for the position, and the bald saint didn't know if he was busy forgetting, or if he was going to let Lake, a priest who had already ventured for the Holy City, have a good rest for a while, and he didn't take the initiative to arrange for Lake's position anyway.

A month passed quickly, and this year's Holy City New Year was relatively deserted, and the Holy City Church did not hold a celebration. It's just family or just a few friends who get together to eat and chat.

Lake, the priestess and the bald saints gathered in Lake's room, and Lake went out for several days, relying on his fire-eyed skills, to find a rabbit nest and catch three rabbits, but they were relatively thin.

Lake made a roast rabbit meat to treat the two of them.

"In a month or so, the snow will melt, and we will be ready to go out." The bald saint said as he ate his little rabbit leg.

"What's the plan for this big battle, Saint Boss?" Lake asked the bald Saint.

"Only a small number of clergy were left to guard the holy city, and an army of 50,000 clergy was thrown into battle. Vampires have four large dens deep in the mountains, and have taken over dozens of towns and cities large and small. Our battle plan for this time is simple, and we will start from the Holy City to clear the towns occupied by the vampires, and finally kill the vampire creatures in the four lairs.

Venerable No. 2, you two, one of you leads a 15,000 clergy regiment, divided into the left army and the right army, and you are first responsible for clearing the area of the city occupied by vampires. Before sending troops, I will give you a strategic map. I took 20,000 priests as the main central army, killing the vampire army and cleaning up several large cities that had been captured by the vampires. The ultimate goal is to destroy the four vampire nests.

This battle is expected to last for more than ten years, so be mentally prepared. The Holy City has already provided nearly 50,000 copies of the Holy Liquid this time, and I heard from the bishops that the way to provide the Holy Liquid has been cut off, and there will be no new Holy Liquid for at least a hundred years.

In this battle, our clergy will not have any follow-up clergy reinforcements, at most some human armies will be assisted. Cherish the forces in your hands. The bald saint said formally to the two.

After hearing this, Lake nodded, it's better to follow the Templar Boss, you can think of them if you have good things.

As for commanding troops to fight, Lake has already experienced many times in other dungeons, although this time he is commanding the Clergy to fight vampires, but Lake is also more confident.

Most of the people in this world are believers, and after the injection of the holy liquid, the strength of the new priest is about the platinum level, and the old priest or the gifted new priest can also reach the platinum level.

It's no longer a problem to confront the vampire hordes head-on. With a force of 15,000 clergy, if used well, it is relatively easy to kill the city occupied by the vampires.

The human cities occupied by the vampires before were just over a thousand vampire creatures. Now although the four vampire nests have increased their troops, the vampires have taken over the city too much,

There aren't many vampires in each city, and Lake conservatively estimates that there are only 3,000 vampires in large human cities, and about 1,000 to 2,000 in small cities.

And the vampire combat strength is strong at night, the Priest Regiment, as long as the main army that avoids the vampires does not fight at night, 15,000 troops, Lake feels that it is enough for him. You should be able to destroy vampires in more than a dozen cities, and then lead your troops to kill a vampire lair.

"I can, I haven't commanded so many people to fight!" The priestess said with some unconfidence.

After all, the saint boss assigned such an important task to her, which is equivalent to the clergy led by her, which is one-third of the hope of human beings to survive in the end.

"The church will send personnel to assist you in commanding operations, and if you are not good at commanding, you can learn from them, or give them orders. The reason why you and No. 2 are the leaders of these two clergy armies is because you were the clergy squad and my direct subordinates.

You brought back improved food seeds and participated in the two important tasks of collecting drinking equipment, which were completed so that the Holy City had the capital that had been recruited by the people. Now among the old and new clergy, you have great prestige. The bald saint smiled at the priestess.

The priestess was relieved.

After listening to this, Lake thought that it turned out that he was a banner figure with the identity of a commander, and it was those auxiliary combat commanders sent by the church who gave the order.

However, Lake decided to get 15,000 troops and take them out of the Holy City first, and as for the auxiliary combat commanders sent by the church, if they listen to his orders in the battle with the vampires in the future, they will stay, if they don't listen, they will inevitably suffer casualties when fighting the vampires anyway.

Lake felt that the two roast rabbits he had provided for this meal had paid off, and it was really good to follow the Saint Boss.

Lake is in a good mood. It's a pity that at this stage, the Holy City is barely enough to get food, and there is nowhere to get drinks, otherwise Lake would have ordered two drinks.

"Replace wine with water, salute the clergy, honour the saints. Wait for the day when the vampire flag is won, and then go back to the holy city to drink! Lake raised his glass.

"Good!" The bald saint also raised his glass.

"On the day of victory and triumph, gather again in the holy city to drink." The priestess also raised her glass, and after the three of them clinked glasses, they dried the glass.

After a two-day break at the end of the New Year's dinner, Lake received an appointment from the Church as commander of the Legion's Right Army.

After receiving his appointment, Lake began to travel to the headquarters of the Right Army Priesthood, which he was training to form.

After the year, the Holy City has divided several large open spaces, which are specially used for the training of the left, right, and middle clergy armies, unlike the years ago, when they had to disperse training in the training grounds behind the cathedrals.

"Number Two Respect the Commander!" Several of the priests in charge of leading the troops greeted in unison when they saw Lake, the honorary priest, come to the camp in person.

"Is there any problem with the training process of our Right Route Army now?" Lake asked.

"The weapons haven't been fully fired yet." An old priest said to Lake in a regretful tone.

"Oh, the matter of weapons, I want to find a way to communicate and solve it, the last month of training, the big war is about to begin, train these new priests, let them mainly practice the combat ability and formation on the battlefield." Lake said.

As for the overly detailed clergy training system, Lake, a halfway monk, doesn't know much.

Let it be left to the specialized veteran priests to train these novices.

Lake inspected the fifteen-thousand-strong army of clergy, including five hundred old clergy, and the rest were new clergy.

Fortunately, Lake turned on the Burning Eye skill and took a look, and the attribute value of the new priest was also not bad, and the platinum was about the first level.

Lake thought about this angel camp, the means of developing troops were really good.

A full 50,000 copies of the holy liquid, turning 50,000 ordinary people into powerful warriors, are almost the same as the attributes of the golden hoop rod artifact after he unsealed it.

Although the holy liquid relies on a part of the power of faith to improve its attributes, the improvement effect is also too powerful, comparable to the evolved version of the biochemical virus.

It seems that the strength of this angel camp is much higher than that of the Earth players at this stage.

Lake thought that in the dungeon world, the strength of the angel camp in the southern hemisphere was equivalent to the Immortal Heavenly Court camp in the northern hemisphere, and it was not something he could deal with now.

Fortunately, as long as you don't take the holy liquid and don't join the angel camp's belief forces, you shouldn't be worried or controlled by the angel camp.

Of course, these priests who rely on the injection of holy liquid to improve their strength, even if their attribute value is higher than that of Ryker, Ryker is confident that he can crush them with his combat experience and many skills.

The attribute value does not represent everything, but it is just a reference value for the initial judgment of strength.

Lake guessed that the half of the angels under the Holy City, in order to keep the Holy City from being occupied by vampire creatures, so that he could save his own life, was also willing to let go.

Fifty thousand copies of holy liquid were provided at one time, even if some of them were accumulated by the Holy City Church before, this time this half angel was desperate. It is estimated that it has been injured and injured, and in a short period of time, it is the holy liquid cow of this half angel, and it will not be able to squeeze out the holy liquid.

"Go and contact this half angel yourself, treat him with the Secret Word Technique, and maybe you can get a few hundred more holy liquids!" Lake suddenly thought of this.

But after thinking about it for a while, it feels too dangerous, so it's better not to contact this half-angel, in case it does, it will be troublesome for Zhutian Online to release a new hidden mission again.

"If you are a female angel, I will go to save you, but you are a man, this is your life!" Lake sighed.
