After the round table, the church gave instructions to the churches in each region. After receiving instructions from the Holy See, the churches quickly reorganized their armaments and made full preparations for the coming battle.

After receiving the Pope's order, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Magician Legions quickly mobilized from their respective defense areas and marched to the city of Jeho, ready to be inspected by the Holy See, and then drove directly to the province of Casilla.

Three days later, the three legions of magicians gathered in the city of Yahe, dressed in white sacred robes that symbolized the sacred, surrounded by the knights, and passed in front of the Papal Citadel in three phalanxes, and the people of Yahe City gathered to watch the grand ceremony.

The Pope stood on the balcony of the castle, smiling and waving to the legions and populace below.

"Long live the Lord Yahwe!"

When each legion passed, it shouted this phrase.

Each shout caused a cheer among the population, and just like that, after the three legions had passed in turn, Paul VI flew out of the castle. Under the gaze of the populace, the magic of Paul VI floated over the holy city, turning into a golden rain of light and descending.

"Let us pray for the warriors whom the Lord has chosen. ”

Against the backdrop of light and rain, Paul VI adds a bit of sacredness.

Under the guidance of the Pope, the people knelt down, folded their hands, closed their eyes, and prayed to God.

"Lord, please bless your courageous believers. ”

Paul VI was satisfied, and in order to cooperate with the attack of the Church, the Church has strengthened its missionary efforts everywhere, and a war that shakes the world is slowly begins.

On the side of the Pompeii Empire, since Zhang Yuan's funeral ended, the empire has become more united. On the one hand, it was the speech of the dove that played a great spiritual role, and on the other hand, it was very realistic, that is, the empire had greatly eased the economy after obtaining the port of Modletos.

The food and wealth hoarded in the port of Modritos were quickly transferred to the tables of the Empire's subjects after being taken control of the Empire, although the situation facing the Empire is still not optimistic. However, the whole empire is more united, after all, victory is always inspiring.

Especially in a world built on religion, it is easy to capture hearts and minds if you show the ability to overcome religion.

Due to Du Hongcheng's return, everything in the empire was handed over to him again, and Zhang Yuan's position was temporarily decided not to fill the vacancy, and the sergeants under his command were rearranged by the imperial military headquarters under the leadership of the other four assassination star commanders.

At present, after two great wars, the Empire has made considerable progress in the strength of the monks. Now it has one cardinal and six archbishops. One demigod-level, one emperor-level, one king-level, one four-phase level, and three phase-level.

Compared to the church, it is almost the same in terms of top combat power, but there are many monks in the church, and the middle-level monks are far more than the empire. Therefore, the strategy of the empire can only be based on strategic defense, supplemented by strategic offense.

Therefore, after a month of recuperation, the empire decided to march overseas. There is a sea that surrounds the world, and there are no special beasts in the sea, but the weather is uncertain, and there are often wind and waves, so ordinary fishermen only fish in the inshore waters, and few people go to the deep sea.

As for the monks, those who have cultivated without bishops cannot fly on the ocean, and the monks of the Church who have cultivated more than bishops have been ordered to strictly prohibit flying across the oceans, and it is said that this law was made by Yahweh God himself, so no one has tried it for thousands of years.

However, according to church records, there are several small islands on the other side of the ocean, but the people on the mainland and the islanders have never crossed paths in the past thousand years.

There is no understanding of anything about the island, and the church books record that the three islands are the islands of the devil, places that have been turned away from the light of the Lord.

This explanation is naturally no problem for the followers of the Yehe Sect, but this set of ghost statements naturally does not make sense here in the empire, long before the empire attacked Modritos, Du Hongcheng had already planned that these three small islands were to be conquered by the empire.

Because this is a place that Yahyo has never dared to touch, so what does this mean?

Explain that there may be something here that will subvert the rule of Yahwa, otherwise, why did Yahwa Church give up preaching here, and why did Yahwa God order that Yahwa members should not be allowed to enter the island?

Therefore, for Du Hongcheng and others, at this stage, everything that can be anti-Yahwegian and religious is not harmful to the empire.

However, these three islands are mysterious and abnormal, Du Hongcheng does not dare to rashly send the army in his hand here, after all, no one knows what exists here, so the monks who land on the island this time must adopt an elite strategy!

After Du Hongcheng's repeated selection, it was decided to let the hero lead the team, and Wang Nan assisted her, adding the remaining six archbishops. Sending such a lineup to explore the situation of Mishima, in the team that set off this time, Wang Nan originally Du Hongcheng did not want to be dispatched, but Wang Nan said that his cultivation had reached a bottleneck, and blind penance had completely ineffective for him, and he wanted to go out through the stimulation of the outside world to break through the phase, but Du Hongcheng was worried that he would be immersed in the pain of losing Zhang Yuan and could not extricate himself, and there would be an accident, so he secretly told the hero to take care of Wang Nan before leaving.

The hero naturally understood, and a group of eight people officially set off three days later.

Sending away Daxia and others, Du Hongcheng did not dare to stop for a moment, and quickly returned to Da Nao City, according to the information he received, the first, second and third magician legions of the church have arrived in Casilla, and the defenders of Dicasilla have surged to eight thousand magicians and eight thousand knights, and as the most elite first magician legion in the empire, the magician cultivation in its array is basically in the bishop stage.

This was not good news for Pompeii, the Church had mobilized such a large army to come here, and it was not known that the area bordering the Empire and the province of Dicasilla was still a plain area, which undoubtedly made it more difficult to defend.

Before Du Hongcheng arrived, the imperial military headquarters had become a pot of porridge.

"How can we fight on the ground, I'm afraid we won't even be able to eat a round of magic from the other side!"

"Hey, I look at that, without the mage's work, just a few attacks from the enemy's knights, our army's formation can't be maintained!"

"Alas, who's to say it's not, I'm afraid this empire is more than lucky. ”

After Du Hongcheng came to the military headquarters, he deliberately restrained his breath and listened quietly at the door for a while. Hearing the discussion of the ministers of the military department, Du Hongcheng couldn't help but sigh secretly, it is not surprising that the military department can have such emotions, after all, the enemy's strength is there. Even he, Du Hongcheng himself, did not have much confidence in this battle.

However, as the leader of the empire, the more he is in this moment of crisis, the less he can show his uneasiness, he must be confident, only when he is self-confident, can all the ministers abandon timidity and move forward with one heart!

Du Hongcheng tidied up his appearance, put on a straight face and made a majestic appearance, and he signaled the guards outside the door to pass through the hall to everyone in the hall.

The guard cleared his throat and shouted, "Prince Du Hongcheng has arrived!"

Hearing the guards' compliments, the ministers of the military department stopped talking one after another, and stood in two columns neatly to welcome Du Hongcheng's arrival.

Du Hongcheng walked in from the two columns of courtiers with a serious face, and he sat on the seat at the head of the hall.

"Excuse me, all of you, sit down. ”

When the ministers in the palace heard this, they all sat down around Du Hongcheng according to the size of their official positions.

After all the ministers sat down one after another, Du Hongcheng looked around for a week and began to ask:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the three major magician groups of the Church have arrived in Casilla, and they will invade our border in the near future, what is your best strategy for retreating from the enemy?"

Although everyone in the hall knew that Du Hongcheng was going to mention this matter, no one spoke out for a while, and the entire hall was silent.

How do we want to answer this question? Our army is inferior in that respect, so how can we fight this?

The ministers of the military department looked at Du Hongcheng, thinking like this in their hearts, and nodded their heads one after another.

Du Hongcheng sighed secretly, he didn't want to get any useful plans from several military ministers, but he still had a hint of fantasy of giving it a try, and now he didn't even have this illusion.

There was silence for a long time, and suddenly a minister stood up.

Du Hongcheng's already gloomy gaze regained its brilliance.

"Mistress Chris, do you have a plan to break the enemy?"

Chris's expression was grim, and he stared at Du Hongcheng and said, "It's better for our army to surrender here!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall looked at him in surprise, and Du Hongcheng was even more furious, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Chris, aren't you kidding?"

Du Hongcheng forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and asked in a calm tone.

Unexpectedly, Chris shook his head.

"My Excellency, the Empire has reached this moment, and surrender is the best option. With that, he left his seat, came to Du Hongcheng's side, and pointed to the map behind Du Hongcheng.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please see, our country and the enemy are currently at odds with the province of Natlin, but once the enemy army sets out from Casilla and flies over the Kumon Forest, the defense of our army in this area is almost ineffective. Therefore I propose to surrender the city and withdraw the main forces to the port of Modletos, so that the defense will be somewhat safeguarded. ”

Du Hongcheng listened to Chris's analysis, and couldn't help nodding secretly, what Chris said seemed to have some truth, but he didn't see any subtlety when he heard it.

Before Chris could continue to speak, a military minister stood up and retorted to Chris.

"Chris, as you say, we should give up the province of Natling for the time being, so that the people we have won so hard will leave us again! The image of the empire will plummet!"

After listening to the minister's speech, Du Hongcheng did not express his position but focused on Chris, as if looking forward to his next words.

"How can we abandon the people? We will always stand by the people's side! Since our army is inferior to the enemy in terms of overall combat strength, we can only avoid its edge. Break it into pieces, leave the elite squad, and continue to engage in local small battles, completely crushing the integrity of the opponent, and accumulating small victories into big victories!"

Hearing this, Du Hongcheng seemed to understand Chris's tactics a little, which is very simple, it is guerrilla warfare!

He clapped his hands and looked at Chris encouragingly.

"Lord Chris, in two days, I will see a detailed strategic plan appear in the Imperial Palace, let's dismiss"

"Yes" Chris respectfully saluted Du Hongcheng, and after getting Du Hongcheng's approval, he left excitedly, and returned to the mansion to start writing a detailed plan.

Several other ministers also left one after another, waiting for the specific battle plan in two days.
