Chapter 1 What to Do Tomorrow
() The year 1686 of the Age of Light is also the New Elven calendar, July 30, 19500, a day that has experienced a pivotal battle in both the surface and underground worlds
In the city of Françolora in the kingdom of St. Auluffi, King Duris and his squad who captured the castle of the local lord would have crumbled as long as they held out for a day, but the army of St. Auluffi also understood the importance of this day, so they launched countless frantic attacks in a single day
Duris and his squad took advantage of the castle's intricate rooms and corridors to carry out the most fierce counterattacks, they avoided a head-on confrontation with a large number of enemies, and attacked in all directions, always appearing behind the enemy in a surprise posture, inflicting heavy casualties on the enemy, and the holy army had been attacking the castle for most of the day, but they were never able to destroy King Duris and his team
However, the continuous high-intensity fighting also exhausted the squad, and under the frantic attack of the enemy, one member of the squad was seriously injured and the other two were slightly wounded
The survival of the wounded destroyed the mobility of the squad, and they could no longer attack each other as flexibly as before, so Duris changed his strategy, he ordered his squad to retreat into the shadowy and damp dungeon, taking advantage of the special environment of the dungeon to hold on to this dungeon, and considered the possibility of someone robbing the prison during the construction, so he designed a lot of defensive facilities, and Duris and his team made full use of these defenses on the original owner of the dungeon
And in the dungeon, Duris freed all the prisoners who had been held in the cells, most of whom were political prisoners held by the local lords and the Church, and hated the authorities of St. Auluffy, many of whom volunteered to join the ranks of Duris and take up arms to fight the holy army that attacked the dungeon
With the stubborn resistance of Duris, and the help of the large number of prisoners, the Holy Army paid a great price for every step they took in the dungeon, but the enemy continued to push the line of contact deeper into the dungeon
In the end, they pressed King Duris and his squad and fifteen surviving prisoners into the deepest part of the dungeon, a cell used to hold serious felons, because the iron door of this cell was very sturdy design, and because of the fact that Duris blocked the door behind the door with wooden tables, chairs, torture instruments and other items, the Holy Army could not storm the cell for a while, but the number of enemies was too large, and the number of them was too small, and many of them were wounded, and it was only a matter of time before the cell was finally breached
Time is indeed the key to victory and defeat, and it cannot be the same for either side
Just four hours after the end of the Battle of Gaia in the underworld, the main force of the Pole army had already entered the city of Françola before the St. Auluffie army broke through the prison door, and the two armies of the Saints and the Saints fought in the city
With the first to surrender, there will be the second, then the third, the fourth, the fifth......
As the act of surrender spread like a plague through the Holy Army, the defenders eventually collapsed
In the early morning of 31 July, the main force of St. Auluffie was completely annihilated, and the commander of the Holy Army committed suicide at the time of defeat, which did not dishonor his dignity as a knight, and the few remaining Holy Army troops, led by some staff officers, broke out of the siege and fled in the direction of the capital, Port Saint-Cesa
As the commander-in-chief of the Polish army in this attack on the kingdom of St. Oruffich, he left the task of command to his staff officer, and personally led his troops into the castle, and finally welcomed back his most respected king in the deepest cell of the castle dungeon
Li Man immediately sent a military doctor or a chaplain with the army, there were seriously wounded and their lives were in danger, and after seeing Li Man, this was the first thing Du Lisi said
When His Majesty saw the reinforcements, the first thing he thought of was to rescue the seriously wounded
The actions of Duris I surprised the soldiers around him, and with it came respect, and in the days to come, they would be even more determined to serve the respected king, and the prisoners who fought side by side with Duris were also impressed by Duris's bearing
The battle of the city of Françola finally came to an end, and it was a battle that determined the fate of the kingdom of St. Auluffie, but they lost it terribly
At this time, in the capital of the kingdom of St. Olufe, the port of St. Sisa, although the iron hooves of the Pole army had not yet trampled here, the whole city was already immersed in a pessimistic defeat, although the army repeatedly gave a shot in the arm to the general population and nobles, claiming that they had absolutely enough strength to protect the port of St. Sisa, and they also used the siege of Paris on the battlefield of Sime, which was taking the example of the siege of Paris, which was also taking the example of the Meedin army, to turn the port of St. Sisa into a cemetery for the daring Poyland army, just as the Medin's army used urban street fighting as a means to resist the Sealand army
However, most people have no bottom of the military's rhetoric, but now the port of St. Sisara is at risk, some large merchant groups have withdrawn from the city, and a large number of nobles have fled the capital, with the withdrawal of the merchant groups and nobles, a large number of treasures have also been taken away, making the economy in the port of St. Sissar completely collapsed overnight, and prices skyrocketed. Hundreds of industries withered, and there were robberies and other public security cases everywhere in the city, and the common people had already suffered the pain caused by the war in advance even before the war came, and some civilians with a little savings began to flee from the port of St. Sisa, thus forming an irrepressible wave of flight
Even though the military used strong measures to suppress it, it still could not suppress the storm of flight
However, what happened in the port of St. Cesar was only a small episode in relation to the big picture
The war between the Kingdom of Pole and the Kingdom of St. Auluffi caused a great shock in the entire Holy Light Society, and the Central Church was extremely angry, and under the leadership of the Central Church, governments and churches made the most severe condemnation and denunciation of the Kingdom of Pole and the King of Duris, and they demanded that the Pole army withdraw from the invaded Kingdom of St. Auluffy, and the Central Church even threatened to send the remaining two legions of the Templar Order, the Sea of Miracles and the Dignity of Light, to force the Kingdom of Pole to withdraw, and some countries also organized the so-called Volunteers to help St. Auluffie fight the invasion of the Pole Army in order to curry favor with the Central Church
Duris Heath, who was portrayed as a tyrant in the midst of the flood of public opinion, was sitting in the office of the Lord's Castle, carefully studying what he was going to do tomorrow, ignoring all the public pressure that was coming at him, because what was going to be done tomorrow was very important
Tomorrow, he will have the Central Church shoot himself in the foot, slapping himself in the mouth in front of the whole world
