Chapter 487: The Restless High Priest
On the other side, Phil struggled for half a month after the city gate was breached, but because of the heavy rain in the north during this time, the speed of the reinforcements was slowed down, so he and his army were still fighting alone.
And because of the continuous rainstorm weather and repeated defeats in the war, his army has had several large-scale desertion incidents, and because the armor was wet in the rain, many soldiers have fallen ill, of course, this situation also happened in Jason's barracks.
However, fortunately, those nobles had already joined the city defense battle at this time, and even joined forces to attack Jason's military camp at Phil's arrangement, which greatly reduced his pressure.
Even so, the front fortress was still precarious, and a large number of corpses had piled up in the positions of the two gates, and there was no time to even clean up the battlefield.
And now Jason's mood is very unpleasant, Arthur and Hassan have repeatedly entered the battlefield, although they have broken the enemy's defenses several times, but they are still pushed back by those crazy First Heavy Armor Legionnaires.
Now the First Heavy Armored Legion, which once roamed the northern battlefield, has been shattered in this war, and the once 30,000 strength is now less than 10,000 left!
However, if it weren't for their dedication and bravery, the fortress would have been breached by Jason's army, so Phil was glad he had brought them with him when he evacuated from the north.
He really couldn't imagine what kind of situation he would be in now if it weren't for the desperate battle of the First Heavy Armor Legion.
Unfortunately, this army has also come to an end, and even if there is a chance to rebuild the First Heavy Legion after the war, it is impossible to replicate their heroic tradition.
Although Phil had ascended to the throne, he didn't think he had his father's ability to train such a terrifying army of battles.
At this time, Phil was standing next to the window of his room and watching the heavy rain outside the window, his face was extremely ugly, and there were a large number of guards outside the door, because he knew too well the power under Jason's command, maybe in other aspects, it was not as good as the century-old savings of the Lopez Kingdom, but in terms of killer training, none of the northern countries was stronger than him.
So there's no room for Phil to be careless.
And just as he was thinking about how to get through the difficult situation with an ugly face, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him, his pupils shrank, and he turned around sharply and pulled out the long sword in his hand.
"Your Majesty, please don't be so nervous, if I want to be unfavorable to you, you and Ben will not find me. "The person who came was the high priest of the Serpent Cult, and at this time he had long since lost his original calm and mystery.
In addition to still wearing an emerald green mask on his face, he now needs to travel with a pair of crutches, and one of his legs has been broken.
A while ago, because the elite of the Snake Worship Sect brought by him suffered a huge setback when assassinating the generals of Jason's army, a group of masters who didn't know where they came from had already been ambushed in the military camp and other sentry camps.
Although some of them completed their tasks strongly, more chose to give up their tasks, or even died on the spot.
You must know that in order to prevent these Snake Worship Sect masters from bringing huge losses to himself, Jason almost hollowed out the entire northern black crow deployment, in order to deal a fatal blow to the Snake Worship Sect.
Although this organization has a long history and has even colluded with the nobles of some countries, they have always survived in the cracks of various countries.
Even so, their background and strength are much higher than those of the black crow, after all, the black crow has only been established for a few years.
It's just that one of the things that this high priest did wrong was to underestimate Jason's background, and he also threw some of the masters he brought into the battlefield, causing their forces to be too scattered.
Enraged, the High Priest decided to take action himself, his strength was very terrifying, he could resist the Sky Knight with the strength of the Earth Knight, and he was very confident in his assassination skills, even if the Sky Warrior was caught off guard, he would be hit hard.
Unfortunately, he had just ordered another group of Serpent Worshippers to attack the grain and grass hoarding on the other side, attracting the Sky powerhouse named Arthur under Jason's command to stabilize the situation.
When he infiltrated Jason's tent, thinking that the assassination was foolproof, and secretly mocked Jason for not being stable enough, a man in a black robe appeared in front of him.
The High Priest was horrified when she saw him, for he recognized Hassan, the man he had personally arranged to take charge of all affairs in the province of Hierro, and now she finally understood why all the congregants of the province had lost contact.
And what made him even more frightened was that this man was actually a terrifying sky powerhouse! And he couldn't support it under Hassan's hands! Seeing that the situation was not good, the high priest turned around and fled very decisively.
Although it is not known what method he used to survive the encirclement and suppression of the Snake Worship Sect of the Three Kingdoms, this also proves his escape strength.
And fortunately, Hassan didn't go all out to attack and chase Jason's safety, otherwise the high priest would probably stay forever, but his leg was also injured by Hassan's attack in this battle, although he was not disabled, but he probably couldn't move freely recently.
"Your Excellency the High Priestess is not recuperating from his injuries today, why are you in the mood to come to me?" Phil glanced at him, although the masters of the Snake Worship Sect had suffered relatively large losses in this war, they were still a good force.
So although the previous mistake put him under a lot of pressure, and the high priest's rash intrusion made him feel a little dissatisfied, Phil's attitude towards him was still very kind.
The high priest glanced at the guards guarding the door, and then said in his hoarse and ugly voice: "I have received a letter from my subordinates, our Snake Worship Sect's stronghold in the north has been attacked by a group of people of unknown origin, because most of the masters have been brought here by me, so the northern forces have suffered heavy losses, and I have come this time to say goodbye to Your Majesty." ”
He saw that the battle was losing and retreating, and his men had been losing so much and had begun to retreat.
And ever since he found out that Hassan was Jason's henchman, he had been very uneasy in his heart, because all the cultists who had been lurking in Hierro Province had lost contact with him in almost a short time.
He had reason to believe that Jason had discovered their tracks a long time ago, and had even been designing to eradicate them, and the reason why he had not done so was because the war had slowed down his plans.
