Chapter 475: Bad News
Almost three months later, a dozen or so members of the Black Ravens who had infiltrated the Serpent Cult with Hassan were approached by executioners sent by the High Priest.
Regardless of their status, these people did not escape, only Hassan, who left his jurisdiction, was not found by the executioners, but this also means that his identity has been exposed.
At this point, the high priest and the people of the sacrificial assembly breathed a long sigh of relief, and the internal moths were pulled out, and then they could devote themselves to dealing with external enemies.
It's just that what the high priest doesn't know is that Hassan has already won over a group of people who were originally snake worshippers by virtue of his demagogic methods.
Now those people have already begun to worship Hassan frantically, which means that part of the current snake worship religion has been completely corrupted.
Usually they don't see anything, but when the time comes, at Hassan's call, they will immediately put on the decoration of the black crow and carry out the creed of the Assasin sect.
In addition, Phil, who has finally stabilized the battle situation, is planning to rely on the long-distance battle of the Lion Kingdom army led by Jason, and the disadvantage of difficult logistics supply is gradually reversing the situation.
But a sudden bad news from the north almost collapsed him in his barracks.
Half a month ago, Sandra, the leader of the Northern Combined Army, led his troops around the fortress of Adventure Morun and attacked a military camp occupied by Siegfried, and was ambushed when he planned to plunder his hoarded food, Siegfried set fire to the mountain, and Sandra's 20,000 troops lost more than half of them overnight.
But with Siegfried's army blocking their retreat, Sandra and her remnants of 7,000 built a rudimentary defensive position on a hill.
But in the face of Ziegfei's fierce attack, her 7,000 troops were quickly lost, and in the end, Sandra swore not to surrender, and held the camp all night with one man and one sword, and after killing thousands of soldiers with her own hands, she died of exhaustion!
Even Siegfried was almost killed by her deathly blow, and even though he did his best to avoid it, he was left with a terrible wound on his face.
Since then, the Holy Spirit Clan has sworn to fight Jason to the death, and all races that have befriended the Holy Spirit Clan have angrily threatened to kill everyone who has anything to do with Jason.
It's just that they don't have this time to spake for the time being, because the Holy See's heresy has infiltrated the kingdom of Lopez, but they can't send troops because of sovereignty issues.
Originally, someone in the Council of Cardinals of the Holy See proposed to support Jason and use him as a breakthrough, but it was rejected by some people who knew the details.
Kidding aside, it goes without saying that Jason helped the Kyle family escape the fate of the annihilation, and the fact that he had the information about the Demon Swordsman in his hands was enough for him to die several times.
It's just that Jason has a few powerful subordinates around him, which makes them throw a mouse bogey, and they haven't made any moves.
Therefore, because of the composition of the Lopez family, they can only use some covert actions to target the Lopez Kingdom.
In fact, they really wanted to charge Phil with colluding with other races and trying to subvert human society, but when they thought of the bad attitude of the northern countries towards the Holy See, they had to give up.
Otherwise, the things in the south have not yet subsided, and there will be a whole host of enemies in the north, and they will be mad if the time comes for the Eye of Truth, who has been driven to the west coast, to mix in again.
It's just that from this time, the original bad situation in the north has entered a turning point, and hundreds of thousands of troops were forced to retreat and return to the Chenhe River to build fortifications.
Their final bottom line is to defend the Morning River, Sandra led them to sacrifice tens of thousands of soldiers to barely cross the Morning River, and now they must not go back even if they die.
Therefore, the army led by Lancelot finally got a rare respite, and before that, Sandra's offensive was too fierce.
If it weren't for the accident that Sandra personally led the army on a mission because she was not at ease, I don't know what the situation would be like today.
After Sandra's death, the Northern Coalition was leaderless, and the Kingdom's Chancellor of the Exchequer, the aged Marquis de Bode Creon, was ordered to go to the north to lead the war.
But the most disturbing thing is that because of Sandra's death, Sandra's younger brother, the twenty-one-year-old Hawthorne, has a huge dissatisfaction with Phil and the aristocratic interests he represents.
Although he knew that the accident was not Phil's fault, he just couldn't contain his emotions, and more importantly, because Sandra had mentioned Phil's badness to him more than once.
So after Sandra's death, all the members of the Hundred Clans related to the Holy Spirit Clan entered a wait-and-see attitude, and even Axel became a lot older because of this incident.
He temporarily handed over the affairs of the clan to Hawthorn to manage, while he retreated into the background, plotting a plan to help Sandra take revenge.
I have to say that their psychology is really a headache, in the first place, they came to Phil to deal with Jason, before Jason had no contact with them at all, and now he hates Jason and his subordinates.
If you really resist, you will be hated, and if you don't resist, you will be stabbed.
"Cyber, there is an accident in the war in the north, and the pressure on us will increase in the future. Phil turned pale and coughed twice from time to time.
He had fallen ill the day after hearing the news of Sandra's death, and although he had managed to stabilize the advance of Jason's army at great cost, all that he had done would come to naught if the northern front collapsed.
And even though several of Jason's backbone generals who stayed in the north have retired from the field with serious injuries, the two banners of Lancelot and Roland are still standing.
"Maybe it's time for our Snake Cult deal to get into an accelerated phase, and we're really going to lose if we don't do it. ”
Cyber's expression is not good-looking, although there is Marquis Bode, the Fox of the North, stationed on the northern front, but he is old, even if his prestige and prestige can stabilize the morale and morale of the Northern Alliance, but he really doesn't think that this old man can defeat Lancelot and Roland.
The army that attacked the Baria Pass also attacked after Phil's retreat, but was eventually forced to retreat due to the tension of the fighting on the other side.
"I've always felt very uneasy. Phil said with a slight squint.
Because of his distrust of the Snake Worship Sect, the two sides have not cooperated further since the cooperation agreement was reached, and the Snake Worship Sect has been surprisingly quiet during this time.
