More than 100,000 people! The whole army was wiped out! If they were to be held responsible, not even their immediate boss, Konstantin, who was not at the scene, would not be able to eat and walk around. The five people who were so frightened that their faces turned pale suddenly "poofed" and knelt on the ground in unison. "Damn it!" said the five cardinals in unison.

"It's not going to work. Get it all up for me!"

Amid the Pope's angry shouts, the five cardinals stood up tremblingly.

"Finally, I'm not here to hold you accountable!"

"Yes, yes...... , subordinates know!" The five of them replied with sincere fear. But in my heart, I was very uneasy. In their opinion, if they didn't want to find out the enemy's situation, then it is estimated that they would not even have the opportunity to meet the Pope. Beads of sweat appeared on the foreheads of all five people. They were really scared this time.

"What I want to know is why, why?" Pope Peter asked the same question again.

Of the five, in terms of wisdom, Elma should be the wise. As a result, the other four couldn't help but take a step back. In this way, Elma has become a real "bird". Of course, Elma didn't want to count on the other four. Now that the five of them were grasshoppers on a rope, Elma didn't feel comfortable letting the others answer. Because one is not good and annoys the Pope, then all five of them have to finish playing.

Although she was panicked just now, Elma was still forcing herself to think seriously. When the Pope asked again, he had almost already thought it out. "Your Majesty, what I just said is only a few aspects of the enemy's combat effectiveness. This time, I taught the reason why the army was completely annihilated. There are several more aspects. From our own point of view, underestimating the enemy is one of the most important reasons for the crushing defeat. Through the painful lesson, I have learned this truth: in a big war, the number of people does not determine everything. The reason why we dare to chase and fight the enemy after a series of strikes. It's because of the underestimation of the enemy. If it weren't for the enemy's rash advance, then it would not have fallen into the enemy's trap and eventually led to the annihilation of the whole army......" Elma said sadly.

"The lesson is painful, but the understanding is profound!" said Pope Peter, interrupting Elma abruptly, "very well. It's not terrible to fail, it's terrible to not know why you fail! Where you fall, you have to get up from there. However, only by seriously analyzing and finding out our own problems and mistakes can we get up! In fact, this failure is not necessarily a bad thing. Arrogance, the people of our church, whether it is a high-ranking or an ordinary soldier, are used to arrogance. There is a kind of number one force in the world, who else is in a posture. Well, let's be deflated! Destroyed by a group of pirates who I don't even look down on! No matter how arrogant and arrogant! This fiasco is the greatest shame in the history of my Church of Light! At the same time, it is also a wake-up call for us. We've woken up from the hotbed, we're working hard. Otherwise, the end of my Church of Light will not be far off!"

Pope Peter's words were so meaningful that everyone in the audience bowed their proud heads in shame.

"From the enemy's point of view. High combat effectiveness is secondary. Because after all, they only have so many people, and no matter how powerful they are, they will not be able to completely annihilate our army. The most terrifying thing about the enemy is the supernatural command. The close attack was fluid, and the timing was just right, and the retreat was never dragged into the mud, and we cleverly jumped out before our army closed and encircled. The whole process was both offensive and defensive, and the combination of movement and static, brought into full play the advantages of all branches of the military. Moreover, the enemy's commander is out-of-the-box, and his behavior is elusive. When I think about it now, I feel like my heart is pounding. If I had to choose, I would never want to fight someone like that again. ......”

"No ambition!" Konstantin, as the top boss, was greatly annoyed when he heard this, and couldn't help but snort angrily.

"I know what he means. (Actually, Elma said this just to better highlight the strength of the opposing commander.) Don't interrupt and let him continue. Pope Peter said with a little dissatisfaction.

Konstantin was shocked, and immediately bowed down and replied: "Yes!"

"I was impressed by the fact that as they retreated, they slapped the sea with fire magic to create fog, and at the same time unleashed a combination of magic that we had never seen before. ”

"Knowing that you can create a favorable retreat opportunity for yourself through the obstruction of sight is still a talent. But come to think of it, your focus should be on that combination magic, right?, what is the magic of this magic?" Pope Peter listened with great interest, because he knew that such a combination of magic would definitely bring great benefits to the Church of Light in future water battles.

"Your Majesty, the eyes of the law are like torches!" Elma's words were full of admiration, "This magic is simple to say, but the person who can think of this magic is definitely a rare military genius." He first ordered the ice mage to condense the water into ice, and of course the shape of the ice is specific, that is, it takes on a 'cone' shape. Leave a large space below the tail draft. Then let the air magician squeeze out the seawater with air that is compressed to the point that it can no longer be compressed, and fill the void. The Ice Mage seals the gap before the gas escapes. Then, while our army was in pursuit, I ordered the fire mage to open a small hole in the seal. As a result, powerful icebergs struck us like wild horses. Caught off guard, our army suffered heavy losses. ”

"Oh, I see. They create a fog that can trick you into thinking that they want to escape, which will not only relax your vigilance, but also trick you into pursuing at full speed. On the other hand, the fog can also obscure your view, and when you spot the icebergs in the water, it's too late to take countermeasures. This alone is enough to deserve your reputation as a 'rare military genius'!"

Pope Peter's words shocked everyone, for no one among them (including Elma) could have thought so deeply and thoroughly. Everyone couldn't help but show a look of adoration. This is by no means a sycophant, but a revelation of true feelings after being deeply impressed.

After looking at the expressions of the crowd, Pope Peter continued to analyze with satisfaction: "The size of the cone can minimize the resistance of water, the compressed air can provide it with enough power, and the powerful impact and pointed cone can burst out well enough to kill it. Cleverly conceived. This combination magic is definitely the nemesis of wooden battleships!"

(After more than a month of worry, more than a month of days and nights, my father was finally discharged from the hospital yesterday.) Heaven is as people wish, and there have been no big accidents. Therefore, from today, the update will be resumed, so please pay attention to it. ）
