Chapter 757: Failed First Round of Attack

"Rune Defense Array...... Why is this never mentioned in the intelligence?"

Hurrying into the camp, the general took off his helmet, slapped the table with one hand, and threw the words in the faces of all the priests present. The priests lowered their eyes and were silent, and for a moment the atmosphere was a little awkward.

The general's face became even more dissatisfied as a result.

"Are you going to explain it? The perfect intelligence gathering ...... Who said that? Why is there no sound at all now?"

Eventually, a priest coughed dryly and slowly spoke: "General Presy, actually, we mentioned the rune defense array in the original academy intelligence, you should have missed it. ”

"Did you miss it?" the general let out a cold snort, "If the intelligence can mention something like 'the Rune Defense Array can block the bombardment of dozens of Holy Light cannons at the same time', instead of a brief brushstroke, I don't think anyone will miss it, right?"

"It's not something we can investigate. The priest struggled to keep his face calm and said slowly, "The Rune Defense Array has only appeared once before, and the Academy of Magic has used it to defend against Ikor's attacks. Other than that, the technology is all very well hidden. The limits are here, and we've investigated them as much as we can. ”

"In that case, don't say that big thing in the first place. ”

“......”

Looking at the priests, who had fallen silent again, the general couldn't help but hammer the table again and shook his head.

In the original plan, they would use a volley of Holy Light cannons to directly crush the defenses of Locke, and then his soldiers could rush in and harvest the demoralized enemy. However, due to the appearance of the Rune Defense Array, their offensive plan completely failed in the first step.

Recalling the scene at that time, General Preese still felt a strong sense of shame in his heart.

When sixty-five Holy Light cannons opened fire at the same time, General Pres had even raised his right hand, ready to give the order to charge. But then, the invisible barrier that emerged in Locke City forced him to take back the hand he had raised.

One after another, a huge explosion sounded, and the brilliant light spread like a tsunami...... They could see that the air around Rock City had become distorted at that moment. The invisible barrier also trembled under the impact, but it was never broken.

In the midst of the enchantment, dense magic emerged, hedged against the holy light, and dissipated the power of the cannon fire in that strange way. There were many moments when General Preece thought that the barrier was about to be broken, but then it was replenished by the surging elements.

In just a dozen seconds, his mood was only going back and forth between the peaks and valleys, and he felt extremely embarrassed.

Why did no one mention this "Rune Defense Array" to him when he was making his attack plan?

The priest only cares about boasting about the strength of the church and the nobility of divine will, and every time he mentions the research results of the Academy of Magic, he has a disdainful tone. "The carving trick used by mages to fool the world" - these were the words of one of the priests.

If those idiots could have taken a little more weight at the beginning, their offensive plan would never have been in such an awkward situation in the first place.

The more General Pres thought about it, the more angry he became.

"What the fuck are you talking about, are you dumb again?what is the Rune Array, you say!" he slammed the table, in stark contrast to the dead priests on either side.

“...... General, before it's time to ask for guilt, let's put this matter aside. ”

Suddenly, a voice came from behind him, interrupting the angry general. Suddenly, the priests, who bowed their heads and were silent, also stood up and saluted respectfully.

"His Majesty the Pope. ”

The general also quickly turned around, and had to suppress the anger in his heart and bow his head and salute.

Granette nodded and walked in through the tent gates. He walked slowly past the long table, sat down at the other end of the table, glanced around the crowd, and was silent for a moment before finally speaking:

"We'll go back to the lack of intelligence later, and now, the original offensive plan is completely nullified. General Pree, tell me how we can take Locke City down?"

"This ...... We know too little about the information about the Rune Defense Array. However, I recommend taking a break and relaunching a powerful offensive with the Holy Light Cannon and the soldiers, and the barrier of Locke City will not be able to stop it no matter how strong it is. ”

Hearing this, Grande nodded and asked, "Still don't need me to make a move?"

"Your Majesty can fight on the sidelines. The general looked cautious and said, "When the demon of the magic academy makes a move, His Majesty will reappear and fight back against him fiercely." ”

"Hmm...... That's fine. ”

Grant pondered for a moment, and finally gave an affirmative answer.

The general also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Although the Pope in front of him was not half as old as him, he knew how terrifying this expressionless young man was. Unstable and moody...... General Prese naturally remembered that he was able to become the commander-in-chief of this attack because the first two generals were "disposed of" after confronting the Pope.

Despite the transcendent status of the Church, no pope has ever behaved in this way over the years. Now, as it is, even though he is sitting at the same table with the Pope, the general feels like he is on pins and needles.

The anger just now is long gone.

"In that case, then you should plan as soon as possible. General Pree, you have led troops to fight for so many years, I hope you will not disappoint me. ”

Eventually, Grant left a fluttering word and turned to leave the tent. The general nodded in response, watched the church leave, and then, without hesitation, closed the curtain of the tent.

Finally gone......

He shook his body, shook off the humility on his shoulders, and looked back at the priests in the tent with a cold gaze.

"I want information about that rune defense array. He propped his hands on the table and said, word for word, "How did it come about? What does it depend on? What weaknesses does it have...... Even if it's the most trivial information, you're going to get it for me if you take this life, understand?"

The priests were silent, eventually nodding.

"It's good to understand. ”

The general snorted in dissatisfaction, turned around, and left the tent.

The priests looked at each other, and each breathed a sigh of relief, just like the general looked when Grant left. Soon, however, they looked at the direction of Rock City outside the window, and a bitter look appeared in their eyes.
