Sufia and the coalition are not the only ones who are preparing for war, as they are the target of their crusade, the Truth Society is also preparing for war.

The infiltration of the Truth Society is pervasive, and there is hardly any corner of the three continents of Olopa where there are no Truth Society spies, so Sophia formed an alliance to prepare for the attack on the Holy City, and she was in the Papal Palace very early, but Christina and her Truth Society followers did not prepare as intensively as Sophia. In addition to Christina's absolute self-confidence, it is also because the strategic intentions of the Truth Society are completely different from those of the opponent. The other party wants to completely destroy the Truth Society, and the Truth Society only needs to survive the two days of the "Grand Ceremony".

For this reason, after receiving the news of the attack of hundreds of warships crossing the sea, Christina and most of the high-ranking members of the Order of Truth who remained in the Holy City did not react much, they had already expected such a situation, and did not make too strict defenses, but only sent the "Sea of Miracles" legion to intercept it.

Although it was about to be the time for the dagger to appear, after all, it was still barely revealing the sharp dagger, so nominally, the current Holy Papal Island was still ruled by the Central Church - although the discerning person could see at a glance that the reconstituted Central Church was a puppet at all, but after all, it had not pierced the last layer of window paper. Now, the grief-stricken puppet Pope Sixtus has been placed under house arrest by the Society of Truth, or Julian, to be exact.

Sixtus is also an old fox, of course, he knows that plotting with the tiger carries a very high risk, so when he decided to join forces with the Truth Society to seize power, he firmly grasped his old roots, the old part of the Inquisition, and did not let go, but Sixtus did not count his destined nemesis Julian. Originally, Sextus had a psychological shadow on Julian, and he was very jealous in his heart, and he was half shorter as soon as they met, so he had no time to get in touch with the old part of the Inquisition, but he was controlled by Julian by thunderous means.

All orders issued by the Truth Society to the Central Church are now issued in the name of the Pope, including sending the Legion of the Sea of Miracles to intercept the fleets of Sophia and her allies. As one of the four legions of the Holy Knights, the only naval combat unit received the order to attack, which was naturally issued in the name of the Pope. Although the vast number of officers and men in the "Sea of Miracles" had doubts about this, they had no choice. Because the Legion Commander has been detained by the Truth Society in the name of "leaving behind to protect the Pope", and the Truth Society has sent some officers to infiltrate the "Sea of Miracles" legion, taking over the command of the entire legion from top to bottom, and carrying out fixed-point purges behind the scenes, so even if there are many objections and complaints, the soldiers of the "Sea of Miracles" have to obey orders.

Of course, not all of them are in digression. Some of the officers and men who had woken up had already left the regiment before the start of the war. It is better to be a deserter than to be a lackey and a pawn of a would-be enemy; but for the huge "Sea of Miracles," the number of people who left was still in the minority, and most of the officers and warships were thrown into the operation to intercept the coalition landing fleet.

It doesn't matter if the Truth Society has the morale or not to win the fight or not, as long as the idiots in the Sea of Miracles can delay Sophia and her coalition long enough.

Hmph, it's best if they can fight and lose.

Their organization has been waiting for thousands of years of pomp and content, and no one is allowed to mess with it.

Nothing will be allowed!

The naval battle broke out on the sea less than 300 nautical miles southeast of the Holy City.

In the more than 4,000 years of history since the establishment of the Holy Light Church, the territory of the Papal Dominion has not been invaded by foreign enemies; It is precisely because the Central Church and its Knights Templar have repeatedly defeated powerful enemies in "holy wars" and thwarted all conspiracies or conspiracies to destroy the Central Church that the Holy Light Cult has grown step by step to become the most powerful religious monopoly today.

Sophia and her coalition attack was just one of the most common attacks in the history of the Cult of Light, but it was very different from the previous ones.

This time, the "Sea of Miracles" legion, which took the lead in defending against the enemy, did not have the indomitable fighting spirit of their predecessors, although it was still magnificent, but when the two armies first came into contact, the "Sea of Miracles" legion's sluggishness and passivity gradually manifested.

Although the coalition forces have a large number of people, most of them are land combat forces, and the navy is just a temporary patchwork to catch ducks on the shelves, and it can actually compete with the "Sea of Miracles" legion that has been crisscrossing the sea for thousands of years? Whether the "Sea of Miracles" is a passive response to the battle, or a deliberate release of water, it shows that they have long been unwilling to continue to work for those guys on the island.

In fact, this situation is not entirely due to the passivity of the "Sea of Miracles" legions, because the enemies they have to defend against do not come from only one direction.

At this time, in the sea area in the northeast corner of the Holy City, there was another large fleet of ships, which was violently killing the Holy City. The "Sea of Miracles" legion had to justifiably send half of its fleet north to intercept it.

Although Sophia's early action didn't go as planned, Owen still kept in tune with her very tacitly. In this expedition, the support of Owen was spared, and the scale of the army was increased compared to the last crusade against Mephistopheles of Evil Mosata, so the reinforcements he brought from the north were actually larger than Sophia's coalition army. Although the barbarians who have lived in the ice wilderness for many years are not good at water warfare, they also have a large number of mages from the Snowy Federation in their roster.

The Snowy Federation has been fighting for a long time with countries that believe in the Holy Light Cult, and the land side is blocked by the natural dangers of the Boundary Mountain Range, in fact, they have to fight more threats from the sea, so the naval strength of the Snowy Federation is far stronger than it seems. Although the catastrophe brought by the demons before caused the destruction of the Snowy Federation, their navy was not damaged, not only were most of the ships preserved, but the loss of lives of the mages who were familiar with naval warfare was not as great as that of other mages.

At the beginning of the expedition, the navy of the Snowy Federation made a detour to the southwest and entered the Olopa Sea, while at the same time, the Xiong Yan army under the command of Owen and the Uzbes crossed the entire West Lota Kingdom.

In the face of the barbarian invasion, the West Lotfei Kingdom, which was mired in a full-scale civil war, was unable to organize effective national resistance, and the sporadic resistance of individual local lords was quickly crushed under the iron hooves of the barbarians. However, the barbarian army did not kill and plunder in the places they occupied as usual, and they quickly marched southwest across the entire West Lotfei Kingdom, rushing to Port Vila, a famous port city in the south of West Lot, to join the snowy Federation navy that had arrived there and occupied the port city one step earlier.

Barbarians and magicians who have dealt with each other for centuries have put aside their past grievances and fought together under a common banner.

In this way, under the attack of the north and south, the maritime defenses of St. Pope Island were defeated one after another. After a day and a night of fighting, the two armies of the north and south had seen the high spire of the Papal Palace, which stood at the highest point of the Holy City.
