Chapter 742: Retreat
Looking at Bishop Hoffman and the two priests who were lying in a pool of blood, the lieutenant of the Legion Commander Randall shuddered suddenly, and then realized what the Legion Commander and himself had done just now. The goddess was on top, and he actually followed the legion commander to draw his sword and kill the pope and priest who served the goddess. This...... It's just crazy!
"Military ...... Army...... Your Excellency, Legion Commander, this ......" The adjutant's mouth was already trembling, and he pointed to Pope Hoffmann on the ground, and his face was almost about to cry.
"Good job, Cliff!" Captain Randall's face was still gloomy, but his words were praising the adjutant. From the adjutant's subconscious actions, Randall was very satisfied that he could bravely follow him, and what Randall lacked most now was such loyal subordinates.
"But...... But we'...... We killed Pope Hoffmann!" The adjutant roared in a low voice as if he had just woken up from a dream: "Oh my God! The Goddess will not forgive us, and His Majesty the Emperor will not spare us!"
"Shut up, Cliff, calm down! The goddess is fighting the exotic gods, and we don't know who will win or lose, so I'm afraid she won't have time to pay attention to us. As for His Majesty the Emperor...... As long as we can achieve victory, His Majesty the Emperor will not care about the Pope of the Temple of the Goddess of Harvest. ”
Commander Randall forcibly suppressed his excitement, and tried his best to make a confident order in front of the adjutant: "Now go and give the order, all the corps units will slowly retreat according to the defense plan, relying on the temporary camp to defend!"
The dazed adjutant retreated under the order of the commander of Randall's corps, and soon, the mournful retreat cry sounded from the barracks, and the green wolf soldiers who had to rush to the enemy army due to the military order breathed a sigh of relief, formed a formation with each other, and quickly retreated to the temporary camp in accordance with the usual drills.
The Snod and Spartan warriors followed the wolf soldiers all the way, constantly pestering them, trying to thwart their retreat, but unfortunately they had to retreat temporarily under the salvo of crossbows and crossbows in the makeshift camp.
Even if he was wearing heavy armor, under the repeated bow and arrow blows of the Blue Wolf Legion, it was inevitable that there would be damage, and even if Asnod was unwilling in his heart, he could only lead the Spartan Heavy Legion to temporarily return to the Senta level.
Watching those physically perverted and brave hoplite soldiers leave, the soldiers of the Blue Wolf Legion almost unanimously breathed a sigh of relief. Rao is these green wolf soldiers are usually pretentious elites, but looking at the Spartan soldiers opposite, they can only be ashamed of themselves.
"Finally...... Finally survived!" a green wolf soldier whispered the common sentiment of the soldiers around him.
On the battlefield, not only the crushing of weapons and equipment, whether it is in terms of physical strength, combat skills or will, those Spartan heavy soldiers are a few points stronger than the green wolf soldiers, and they have several times the advantage in numbers, after experiencing a defeat, these green wolf soldiers have lost confidence in whether they can win this battle.
While the soldiers were each glad they had survived, their Randall Legion Commander was confronted by the Bishop of the Temple of the Goddess.
"Captain Randall, what the hell is going on?Why was His Majesty the Pope assassinated?Who did this?" When he saw Pope Hoffmann lying in a pool of blood, the head of the Temple of the Goddess was dark, and he couldn't afford to take such a big responsibility, so he immediately questioned Captain Randall.
"I regret the assassination of His Majesty Hofmann, but due to the suddenness of the incident, when I arrived, His Majesty the Pope had already been assassinated, and I didn't know who the murderer was, but we should be able to imagine that it must have been done by those cult believers. ”
Captain Randall flatly denied his faults and blamed all the blame on the cultists. This statement made the bishop of the goddess temple stuck for a while, the cult god believer, God knows who the cult god believer is, and even the Pritz Kingdom that is being conquered now is considered an evil god believer, this bishop doesn't know!
"In any case, His Majesty the Pope is assisting your Legion of Wolves in the battle, and your Legion of Wolves is not to escape the blame for this!"
"I understand your feelings very well about His Majesty's Crown, but the priority now is not to hold accountable, but to fulfill the oracle of the Goddess and the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, and defeat the enemy in front of us is the most important thing. And maybe the murderers are those Prizzians, and at this time, the Priesthood will have to stand with the Blue Wolf Legion to be able to defeat those guys!"
Captain Randall tried his best to fool the bishop of the Temple of the Goddess, if there was no assistance from the Priest Corps at such a time, Randall would simply not have to fight, and he knew that he was definitely not the opponent of those Spartan hoplites when he thought about it with his toes.
Speaking of oracles, even the assassination of the Pope could not stop the execution of the oracle, and the bishop of the Goddess Temple ordered the bodies of the Pope and the two priests to be collected with grief on his face, and said to Captain Randall in a calm voice: "The oracle of the goddess is supreme, and our priesthood will fully cooperate with the Blue Wolf Legion, but I also ask Your Excellency the Legion Commander to promise that the soldiers must use their lives to destroy those evil gods and heretics!" At the same time, the Harvest Goddess Temple will not give up the investigation of the Pope's assassination, and the Harvest Goddess Hall will also investigate whether His Excellency the Legion Commander is responsible. ”
After the bishop finished speaking, he gave Captain Randall a deep look, and then strode towards the outside of the command camp, but as he was leaving, the adjutant who hurried from outside happened to meet the bishop. The sharp look in the bishop's eyes made the undecided adjutant suddenly feel a spirit, and his face involuntarily showed a trace of unnaturalness.
The adjutant's weak expression made the bishop's heart as heavy as a big stone, and he couldn't help but be suspicious. However, the bishop did not expose it in person, but hurriedly left the command camp, after all, this is the camp of the Blue Wolf Legion, and Randall is one of the four major legions of the Varu Empire, and suspicion without any evidence is unruly. Besides, if there really is something wrong with Captain Randall, it is even more dangerous to stay.
After the bishop left, Captain Randall snorted heavily from his nose, looked at the adjutant who walked in, and scolded angrily: "Calm down!
