Chapter 32 Itinerary
Both sides are actively deploying in the area around Dehra, and the Inquisition's army has already stepped out of Mount Olympia to use the city of Anua as a backup and march towards Dehera. And Putilla is a gathering of the Second Guardian Magic Legion, the First Magic Legion, and the Second Magic Legion that is rushing to Dehra.
In general, the Dehra region is still under the control of the Church, where there is a legion of the Duke of Dehera, but the strength of this legion is far from matching the standard legion of the church, for example, the level of magicians does not exceed level four, and the knights are all improvised patchwork casual cultivation, with no combat effectiveness at all, and the number is still small, only 3,000 knights and 1,000 magicians. Such a force seemed to the Pope and others to be almost defenseless, and Yahweh and God thought so too. Therefore, both sides stepped up their marches to capture the city first, after all, it was far easier to defend the city than to attack it, and the Holy See did not have enough troops. So Yahweh God directly activated the divine power and added the blessing of the gods to each soldier, so that they would not feel tired while running.
Karthhas hadn't been seen since he captured the city, and no one knew where he went, but Dresri guessed that the teacher was in retreat on Mount Olympia. But he went to Mount Olympia once and did not see his teacher. However, he is also worried that the teacher will definitely show up at the critical moment.
Geographically, Putilla is supposed to be closer to Dehra than Quarema, but the actual problem is that on the road from Putira to Dekhra, there are foam swamps on the north side, kara mud swamps on the west side, and howling swamps on the east side. If it were just a simple mud swell, it would be easy to deal with, but these swamps are full of powerful beasts, and the army can't afford to waste time on exterminating them, even if it is too bad.
According to the depiction on the map, the Papal army is now less than thirty kilometers away from Dehra in a straight line, and it can be reached in half a day, but in front of them is a foam swamp, which is famous for its man-eating ants, which are man-eating ants as the name suggests! These ants are each half a man tall, and the hard shell on the body is indestructible, at least below the seventh-level knight can not be broken.
And there are a lot of man-eating ants, not to mention tens of thousands, the queen ant is a powerful ninth-level demon beast, in the face of such an ant colony, the Holy See is not willing to be an enemy of them, but today's situation is different from the past, if you can pass through here, then Dehra City is close at hand, if you make a detour, then it will take another three days, which is obviously what the Holy See army that is chasing time does not want to see!
"Let's go, let's go in!" Yahweh commanded.
"My lord, the man-eating ants here are extremely difficult to deal with, and we should be able to destroy them, but for us, that kind of loss is also unacceptable. Pura suggested, "It's perfectly fine to have your divine power to support us to take a detour, why bother with such a big loss here,"
Yahweh shook his head, "No, time is precious to us, and we can't afford to waste it. As he spoke, he suddenly burst out with divine power and pointed directly at the red ants in the swamp.
Boom, boom, boom, boom! One by one, the destructive aura of light hit the swamp, and a group of magic circles quickly formed, "Now we can pass." Yahweh God walked towards the swamp as he spoke, and the soldiers behind him saw that God had already walked in and followed. Pura had no choice but to pray for the power of God to keep them safe.
The man-eating ants hissed, and the soldiers walking in the circle could even feel the hot breath exhaled by the man-eating ants. Suddenly, an ant jumped up with an appetite and went straight to a magician! Despair was already seen in the magician's eyes! He was a magician, and he would not survive the surprise attack of a creature comparable to a seventh-level knight like a man-eating ant. He simply sang a hymn and prayed to God that he would ascend to the divine realm.
But the fact is that when the ant just touched the golden formation boundary, its whole body suddenly decomposed, and it died with a squeak. The whole army looked at Yahe God with reverence, and the divine power was really great!
Southern Olympia Mountains
It's been three days since the city of Quarema, and the Inquisition's army has just left the end of the Olympia Mountains.
"My lord, based on the speed of our journey, it is estimated that it will take six days to reach Dehra! should we speed up our journey?" Sitting in the carriage, Makuta was very concerned about the speed of his own journey, as the commander-in-chief of the entire Combined Legion.
"My dear Makuta, the Pope and I agree that at this stage you and your men should think about how to fight the Papal army, and instead of worrying about the trip, just march at the current pace. "Even if we arrive late, I can tell you for sure that we will be able to enjoy a dinner at Dehra's famous Crystal Castle without a single soldier. Seeing such an answer, Makuta didn't think much about it, and he summoned the commanders of the original three legions, who were now his deputies, to study the battle against the Holy See's troops together. Anyway, the referee has already said so, he can only believe and obey.
Another day passed, and the city of Dehra was at hand. The Papal Army passed through the foam swamp intact, but ........ the city of Dehra, the Pegasus Banner of the Pompeii Empire had been raised, and the soldiers patrolling the city and the closed gates could be seen in the distance. "They arrived before us!" Pula was surprised. "How is this possible? we got here after saving a lot of time through the foam swamp, how could they be so fast!"
Yah Yahweh felt a thick sense of death from above, could it be that the Imperial Mage was an undead master? Yahweh's brain quickly thought, who was the necromancer among the people who became gods in the Empire? In his memory, there were about three, which of these three was it? Just try it and find out.
"All magicians, unleash the Holy Light Spell on me!" Suddenly, six thousand holy lights outside the city flew up and headed straight for the city, and Yahwe's divine finger pointed at those holy lights. Originally, it was only the most basic level of magic that was upgraded to a forbidden spell-like attack by Yahe God! The soldiers at the head of the city did not scatter and run away when they saw these attacks, but stayed where they were and waited for the magic to come.
In this scene, yes and God could naturally think that this was a common trick of necromancers to create a shield wall that was immune to magic damage to the undead, but! The holy light I put was not so easy to block, yes and thought secretly in his heart, sure enough! With a bang, the holy light that had been isolated suddenly exploded on the undead's body. In an instant, he purified the undead soldiers at the head of the city, and just when Yehe was quite proud, his divine sense felt that those undead did not really dissipate, but regrouped to become stronger!
I was in a bad state for the past two days, and I was lost on July 16
