Chapter 565 - Each Means of Implementation
The Great War was approaching, and the battles near the Takayama Church had increased considerably. The members of the Inquisition, who gathered around the church, and the ascetics who were mainly responsible for the battle, fought one after another against the coalition led by the Satanists.
According to the strength invested by each other, the leaders of the two sides also began to arrange their troops. Throughout the hills and valleys near the mountain church, the roars of battle between the two sides could be heard from time to time. Once the voices die down, one side will be wiped out.
Compared with ordinary people who are more enthusiastic about fighting with hot weapons, the battles between monks are more bloody and cruel. Under the collision of cold weapons, the weak often pay the price of their lives. In such a place, weakness is the original sin!
Although the number of monks dispatched by the Church is not as large as that of the coalition led by the Satanists, the ascetics of the Church are extremely brave. Around the Alpine Church, the coalition forces continued to shrink the space for church activities, and the church waited for work to block the coalition forces.
During the day, the sentinels of both sides fought each other, and at night there were skirmishes of fierce battles. As for the powerhouses at the core of both sides, they didn't do it from beginning to end. The Pope, who sits in the church, is also waiting for the appearance of Satan, an old adversary.
Xu Haibao, who arrived near the Gaoshan Church, has also been hiding secretly to observe the two warring sides. To Xu Haibao's surprise, the recovery speed of the wounded on the church side seemed to be much faster than that of the Satanists.
As long as the monks of the Church were not seriously injured, they often rested for a night or two before returning to the fight. On the other hand, on the side of the Satanist coalition army, many monks who were injured in battle had no choice but to withdraw from the battle.
Through this observation, Xu Haibao, who was staring at the ancient church, said thoughtfully: "The recognition of believers in the church has a lot to do with their ability to save lives and help the wounded. Light spells, which do have an advantage in this regard. ”
After practicing the wood method, Xu Haibao also had a little more understanding of the spells of other elements. The light spells that the church majored in did have a great suppression advantage in fighting against the blood clan and werewolves.
So much so that when the Bloods fight werewolves, they prefer to be at night. As for the monks who practiced other elements on both sides, if they wanted to fight the final victory, it would depend on whose strength was better. In terms of team cooperation, the church monks are more tacit.
After watching the battle for nearly a week, Xu Haibao said a little impatiently: "If it continues like this, how long will it take for a big war to break out?"
Considering that the time is getting closer and closer to his son's birthday, Xu Haibao is also worried that going home late will make his wife and parents dissatisfied. And he also understood that the longer the time elapsed, the worse it should be for the church.
In other words, the Satanist coalition has been more active, while the church has been on the defensive. Over time, the food that the church has accumulated in the church will be almost consumed. Many monks have to eat every day in addition to cultivating!
The Pope, who is as puzzled as Xu Haibao, is still somewhat puzzled and surprised that the Satan coalition forces have always besieged and not attacked. Continuing this kind of passive beating is also a big blow to morale.
Faced with such a situation, looking at the strong team under his command that had been suppressed for a long time, the Pope finally said: "Prepare for a counterattack tonight, take the church as the center, and clean up all the cultists within ten kilometers." ”
"Obey!"
Hearing the Pope's order to counterattack, all the masters felt full of joy. Ten kilometers away, so they can get the help of the Pope at any time. If there is any danger, the Pope can always provide support and protection.
Unbeknownst to the church, the Satanist coalition had already advanced the siege to a position about five kilometers away from the church. Due to strength and fear, the besiegers did not attack.
After the encirclement was formed, the church members who gathered in the mountain church also became alone. In the eyes of the strong men of the coalition forces, it is the church that should be anxious now, not them, and the longer the siege, the more anxious the church becomes.
As night fell, as in the previous days, the masters of the coalition forces, who had been resting in the rear during the day, rushed to the front from their resting places. Their task was simple, to keep the pressure on the friars of the Church.
When the team of masters of the coalition army arrived at the forefront of the battle one after another, waiting for the joint attack to disturb. The pope, who was in the church, stood on top of the attic of the church, and suddenly said, "God said, let there be light!"
As the Pope whispered these words, a bell tower centered on the church suddenly burst into a shining light. If ordinary people saw this scene at this moment, they might think that this was a miracle they had not seen in a long time.
Only Xu Haibao, who was standing in the distance, saw the church bell tower that suddenly burst out with huge light, and said with a little surprise: "I really didn't expect that the bell tower of this church turned out to be a magic weapon, which can increase the strength of the church monks!"
By perceiving the power of these lights, Xu Haibao could clearly perceive that the light sprinkled by the bell tower had the effect of improving the strength of the monks of the church. On the contrary, the strength of the Satan coalition army, which is shrouded in light, will be weakened a lot.
Like Xu Haibao, the powerhouses of the Satan Alliance who were staying on the periphery to watch the battle saw the sudden outbreak of powerful light power in the church, and their faces suddenly changed: "It's not good, they're ready to fight back!"
As soon as the words fell, the monks of the Church, who had been preparing for a long time, led by the Red Archbishop and supplemented by the ascetics, divided into four directions and attacked the besieging coalition monks. Under the overwhelming light spell, the mountain where the church is located is also lit up.
Such a scene can be seen even from dozens of miles away. If there are ordinary people in the mountains at this moment, they may also think that this is an ancient church, once again showing the world a symbol of miracles.
But in Xu Haibao's view, this church will be so valued by the church, which has a lot to do with the difference of this church. And Xu Haibao is even more convinced that in the holy city of the church, I am afraid that the church's home battle advantage will be greater.
In the face of the church's sudden and ruthless counterattack, the coalition forces that were caught off guard could only choose to accelerate their retreat. It's a pity that the strong people of the church who have been suppressed for a long time seem to be holding back the fire in their stomachs and plan to vent it all at once.
The various striking spells were unleashed in a relatively tacit manner, and the monks of the Appearance Coalition fought on their own. The coalition forces, which were unable to form an effective resistance and counterattack, also began to retreat, unable to resist the counterattack of the church.
Like Xu Haibao, the man who was still wearing the satanic mask on a high mountain in the distance said in a low voice: "See? I said that the old guy of the Pope is not simple, and this church is even more not simple.
If we launch a general offensive in advance, we will only fall into the trap of the church. Now they can't help but fight back early, which means that the strength they have accumulated will also start to decrease. We can't afford to lose this battle, you know?"
"Yes, master!"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Satan suddenly said: "Order the allied monks to retreat ten kilometers along the entire line, and the firearms team will be on top." After raising them for so long, it's time for them to work hard. Three minutes, pour out all the fire!"
"Understood!"
With Satan's order to respond, the coalition monks, who were struggling to support themselves, began to retreat on all fronts. On the other hand, the attacking team of the church also began to hunt down. For them, killing one more person can take a little less stress.
Unexpectedly, just as the church forces were chasing and killing, a large number of ordinary people dressed in black on a hill not far from the church entered the position one after another, aiming their weapons at the mountain where the church was located.
"Attention all personnel, ten rapid fires, release!"
These seemingly ordinary men in black are not as strong as even the most ordinary adjudicators. But they are professional artillerymen, and the artillery they are responsible for at the moment are also large-caliber artillery. Even if there are not many of them, the striking force is still terrible.
When the first round of cannonballs was fired, the Pope, who was watching the battle in the attic of the church, looked at him and said: "What a Satan, what a means to win!
Looking at the roaring cannonballs, the church had to use a holy light barrier to protect the church and the nearby church monks. If these shells are really falling, I am afraid that many church monks will not survive.
The monks of the Church, who were in pursuit, heard the rumbling of cannons in the distance and quickly realized what was happening. In addition to being stunned, these strong men were also very angry and said, "These damn cultists actually use artillery!"
Knowing that artillery could still cause great damage to them, the church powerhouses could only order to stop the pursuit and order the monks around them to retreat to the place sheltered by the Holy Light as soon as possible. The larger the shield holds, the more light it will damage.
The Holy Light accumulated in the church is more due to the power of faith collected earlier. For their part, the friars are well aware of the importance of the power of faith. If the power of faith is drained, the rest of the battle will be difficult to fight.
As the artillery fire prepared by the Satanists fell, the monks of the Church who launched the pursuit had to retreat completely. The Pope, who was responsible for providing shelter, slowly shrank the area of the Holy Light Mask to ensure the safety of the monks under his command.
At the same time, the church's liaison officer also informed the nearby government garrison of the situation. As a result, it was clear that after learning that Satan would use a large number of heavy artillery, the local government immediately dispatched warplanes to take to the air.
In this regard, the Church and governments have also reached a consensus. If Satan uses a hot weapon, the army must help. Just waiting for the fighters to arrive on the battlefield, the shelling was basically over.
Even so, the military fighters that flew to the battlefield still carried out a covering strike on the hill where the shelling had been carried out earlier. Seeing the fighters carrying out air strikes, the people on the side of the Satan Alliance naturally looked very unhappy.
It's just that many monks know that Satan will break the rules first, and the church uses warplanes to bomb it, which can be regarded as a retribution. But if we really want to talk about losses, the losses on the part of the church are undoubtedly even greater.
In order to protect the attacking monks, the Holy Light Shelter launched by the Pope once again consumed the power of faith accumulated by the church. On the other hand, the Satanist Order does not seem to have any additional losses other than the loss of a batch of heavy artillery.
And the final victory or defeat of the battle depends on the competition between the strong of the two sides. If the Church lacks the protection of the Light, then the powerful of the coalition will have an advantage in battle. These advantages may allow them to complete the final counterattack!
