Chapter 758: George's Unwillingness
"Archbishop, are we like this?"
After fleeing for more than ten miles, and making sure that the humans and the Twilight masters hadn't caught up, the eight Fallen Star Priests and the Archbishop slowed down slightly. Among them, George Griffin, who was the first bishop of the sixth diocese, looked back at the place that made him feel humiliated, and could not help but ask aloud.
Despite the help of many of Twilight's Golden-tier powerhouses, this does not change the status quo: they have been defeated by the humans who have been extremely weak for the past few years.
And it was a terrible defeat!
The two great priests were killed in battle, and they were forced to abandon 1,500 believers and sacrifice hundreds of horned eagles...... Even the eighth-order artifact was taken away!
Thinking about the wanton slaughter of the human race on Earth in the past few years, and the high spirit and complacent ambition of the Great Diocese not long ago, George felt more and more hot on his face, and an irrepressible anger and shame rushed to the top of his head.
You can't just swallow it!
Most of the other priests had the same idea in their hearts. When one of the bishops came forward, they followed suit.
Almost everyone has unwillingness on their faces!
Looking at the actions of his subordinates, the archbishop snorted coldly and said, "This blood debt, of course, will not be forgotten, but it is not now. Whether you like to admit it or not, after taking away the Solidar Divine Bow, the enemy has slightly overwhelmed us in terms of high-end combat power. Just now he was able to get rid of the other party, just because the enemy's diamond-level master, in order to seize the artifact, the loss was serious, so he didn't dare to rashly pursue. If you wait a little longer, the other party will completely control the divine bow and completely recover its mana...... What do you think they will do? ”
Glancing around at his subordinates, the archbishop said sarcastically: "The enemy will kindly stop here, instead of relying on more than one artifact and continue to chase and kill?" ”
The archbishop's remarks calmed down the priests a little.
But George had his own thoughts, and continued with some unconvinced: "What the archbishop said is right, but our twilight people have no grudge against us, and most of them have received some benefits from the humans of the earth, so they helped. If they really work hard, they may not try to help. What's more, the power of the fight just now should be all of humanity, but it is not all of us. There are at least six priests who are doing other clean-up tasks separately. ”
If they were all recalled, they would regain the numerical advantage with fourteen Gold-tier masters.
Even if the enemy's Diamond Rank had two artifacts, the Archbishop, with the assistance of the four priests, might not be unable to compete!
After all, if you want to fully exert the power of the artifact, you need to consume a huge amount of mana. Without enough strength to support, more artifacts may not necessarily be invincible!
"Fourteen?"
The archbishop shook his head, obviously not as optimistic as his subordinates: "Do you think that if the enemy knows the location of Xiu Te, he doesn't know the location of the other three believers?" If they don't chase us after the battle, they will immediately turn around and head south, and directly attack Huen and them in the southwest. Do you think that with those two priests, it is possible to be spared? ”
His inference was like dropping a bomb again.
The hearts of the priests present couldn't help but sink again.
With such heavy casualties, it was not even the final loss, and there were two more priests and nearly a thousand believers to be lost!
Despite their subconscious reluctance to believe this cruel inference, reason told them that if the enemy had not made a mistake, this was indeed a very likely outcome.
"Isn't it possible to send a message through the Fallen Star Emblem to recall them?"
Clark, the mysterious female prefect of the third division, frowned and spoke with anxiety.
The archbishop looked at her deeply and said, "What do you have to do to avoid the enemy's detection of the target of nearly a thousand people?" Unless ......"
There was a sentence that he didn't say, but the priests present understood.
Unless, let the two priests, like them, abandon their men and flee alone.
However, abandoning his subordinates because of the unfavorable situation of the war, even in the Fallen Star Sect, is really not a matter of honor, once is enough. What's more, they fought with humans with real knives and guns, because they miscalculated the enemy's strength, which led to the artifact being snatched, and they had no choice but to evacuate. Hunn, on the other hand, hasn't even started the battle yet.
Even, whether the enemy will really kill him is still an inference, and it is unknown.
If the two men were ordered to abandon their men and flee immediately, but the enemy did not go, the news spread, and it became a huge scandal. Not to mention what the people of the other major diocesan churches will think of them in the future, just how to explain to the four cardinals is enough for them to drink a pot!
No one wants to take on this responsibility.
It's just that the situation has become such that the Sixth Diocese can no longer afford to lose two more Golden-Order Priests. The archbishop glanced at the silent crowd and said, "If you are willing to agree on this order, I can give it!" ”
This kind of thing is not only common on the earth, but also among the cults from the fallen stars, which is nothing more than a bad face after the fact.
Seeing that the archbishop was willing to take the lead and said this part, the other priests could only agree no matter what they thought in their hearts.
"It's come to this, there's no choice!"
"We are not waiting for selfishness, but also to ensure that the plan for the resurrection of our god proceeds smoothly. In the future, when the cardinal asks, he will surely understand our painstaking efforts. ”
"Not bad! In order to prevent the overall situation from collapsing, this is the only way. ”
Seeing that his subordinates unanimously expressed their attitude, the archbishop nodded, and used his Fallen Star Emblem authority to send a message remotely. Not only the Hunn's team, which was most likely to be attacked, but even the other two teams on the east side of the main force also received the news and were recalled!
Of course, the two teams that were less dangerous received orders slightly differently from Hunn. One is the recall of all the staff, and the other is the return of the priests first, followed by the return of the believers.
In this way, the original plan to immediately destroy the human race in China cannot be carried out for the time being.
To be on the safe side, it would be better for their main force to re-lurk and wait for the fifth diocese in northern China to act as well. At that time, the combined power of the two great dioceses, I am afraid that humanity will no longer be able to stop them.
Before that, though, they have one more thing to do.
That is, staring at this group of human armies that suddenly appeared, suspected of destroying the second diocese, and appeared out of nowhere, you must follow the vine and find their lair.
At that time, the archbishop will definitely make these humans understand why the Fallen Star Sect can still continue to influence in the twilight world, where the gods were so powerful before the war.
After all, the advantage of the frontal battlefield is only available to humans after entering the earth. And in the long history before this, the Fallen Star Sect, which has been lurking in the shadows, has relied more on assassination, intimidation and sneak attacks!
Psychological pressure is sometimes more terrifying than visible elimination.
