375 Prelude to the Third Day

[On August 31, 1735, a military coup d'Γ©tat broke out in Wiener, which shocked both inside and outside. Echoing this www.biquge.info the Elven Holy See tried its best to vilify Prince Ferdinand of Sirisha in order to emphasize divine power, not only defining the latter as a heretical demon, but also sending priests to participate in secular warfare for the first time. The "Force Field Generator" worn by the priest exerted the power of the heavens and the earth, causing a huge blow to the Principality of Sirisha, and the land of black gold has been in crisis ever since.

The priests declare war on heresy. A large number of clergy took to the streets, propagating "demigod apocalypticism" and calling on all sectors of society to resist heresy. Prince Ferdinand's immortality caused panic in the city. Historically known as the "Third Day". 】

- Rise of Empires

"The ancient prophets sealed the evil gods of the past, and the evil gods resurrected from the abyss; the evil gods sent immortal minions, they are called demigods, and they will bring the end of the world! The civilization of the prophets has withered because of the sealing of the evil gods, and now the only one who can fight against the end is the Holy See!" The priest who spoke in the street shouted hoarsely, and spat flew to take the opportunity to preach: "If the demigods rule the world, the end will come to the world immediately! The old evil gods will awaken from the abyss and destroy all civilizations." Only the Light can be your weapon! Take refuge in the Light and you will be refuted!"

The priest shouted and waved his hands condescendingly, and a circle of believers was encircled at his feet. But there was still a discordant voice: "The Inquisition's interest has always been gold." What is the light? Is it the reflection of gold coins in the sun?"

The priest saw a passing construction worker laughing at himself outside the crowd. Because the palace was tilted, a large number of construction workers were ordered to repair the palace.

"Today, you will see the power of the Light. Remember, the demigods will bring the end times, and the Light can give you new life. "The clergy are adamant about their faith.

In the streets of Wiener, you can see black-robed priests preaching vigorously, holding the Sanskrit scriptures, waving their wide sleeves, and hoarsely preaching the story of the "old evil gods" trying to make a comeback. The faithful crowded at the feet of the priests, crowded with incomparably solid porcelain.

But the king and Ferdinand did not pay attention to the details of the streets. As early as dawn, the king, surrounded by dragoons, marched out of the city from the north gate to receive the two tons of gold that had been brought in thousands of miles.

In order to take care of the king's precious body, the military department insisted on mobilizing the main force of dragoons to escort it. The 1st Squadron and the 3rd Squadron were all assembled, with a total of 235 dragoons, enough to compete with the main force of the Dreadnought Knights.

"The main force of the Dreadnought Knights is 300 people, and it is the most intact knight order after the war. "When the king said that the pomp was too big, Major General Claude, who accompanied him, stood his ground. So the king gave in.

In order to ensure safety, the innocent and splendid Lu Shen officer rode with him. The green grass in the suburbs was vast, and the forest was so beautiful that the girl was flustered, so her interest was as high as an outing, and she happily followed the large army, all the way through the mountains and rivers, and talked freely with the major general about the experience of planting flowers, and laughed all over the ground.

The king's carriage rocked on the official road for more than two hours and reached the foot of the Kalundborg mountain.

Kalundborg Hill is a beautiful mountainous area just outside Wiener. The Sirisha Plain comes to an abrupt end here, turning into vibrant green hills. The hills, like the folds of a carpet, squeeze the landscape into charming waves, and the gorgeous flowers ripple with the undulation of the terrain.

The troops stopped suddenly, and the king lifted the curtain to take a look, and saw a dark cavalry phalanx lined up on the grass in the distance, and a rigorous murderous aura was about to come out. As described in the Foreign Office's letter, the Dreadnought Knights remained on the flat ground at the foot of Mount Kalundborg, waiting for the king to hand over the gold and welcome them into the imperial capital.

"That's the Knights of Sirisha who escorted the gold, right?" the king asked Claude, "why don't you go and accept the gold?"

Xiao Qian hurriedly threw herself into the arms of her own people.

Priest Lu sat straight on his horse, tilted his head and smiled at the king: "Major General Claude has sent scouts to confirm." Until then, he hoped that the positions of the two armies would be kept at a distance. After all, people's hearts are separated from their bellies, and it will be dangerous to rush into the charging distance. ”

"Oh. The king guessed Claude's thoughts, for Claude felt that the dragoons could not withstand the charge, so he was very cautious.

"You don't seem to be afraid of each other at all, Your Majesty. Lu smiled and accosted, and the neck-length blonde hair was very cute and flattering: "Why do you trust the Knights of the Dreadnought so much? They were unscathed in the Seven Years' War, they were perfectly organized, and they were so strong that they dared to put these knights in the capital, the king, you really have the courage." ”

"You're being too careful. Xiao Qian remembered that the king had a good relationship with the Holy See, so he could only laugh and chat.

"Seriously, these 300 tin cans are enough to conquer a bunch of small countries. They are a great threat to any country. Except for Purusha. Officer Lu turned his head to look at the cavalry position in the distance, and restrained his smile, narrowed his eyes, and looked like a beautiful demon fox in thought, because the pointed ears poked out a little from the blonde hair.

"They're just escorting the dowry. The king continued to laugh.

"If Claude's dragoons were not confident in resisting them, the Wehrmacht's muskets would pale in the city, and they could run rampant through the streets and fight in the streets. The priest was worried: "King, you dare to let them into the capital, you are really bold." ”

Xiao Qian couldn't laugh anymore, she felt that the priest's tone was wrong.

"What kind of street fighting, no one is stupid enough to fight with the Dreadnought Knights, right? The king said with a straight face.

Lu turned his head in surprise, as if he had found a soulmate, smiled like a flower, and clapped his hands and shouted: "That's right, so you can't fight in the streets, you have to take advantage of the open terrain and wash them with cannons." ”

Xiao Qian was dumbfounded, glaring at the innocent clapping priest. Before she could figure it out, she heard a series of loud noises that shook the heavens and the earth, "Knock! knock!" The sound was like thunder, shaking the tassels of the carriage and making Xiaoqian's eardrums itch.

It was the sound of Wehrmacht artillery.

Lu tilted his head and covered his pointed ears, and Chu Chu craned his neck pitifully, waiting for the cannon to pass.

――――――――――――――――

Half an hour ago. Heroes' Square under the Hofburg Imperial Palace.

"Your Excellency Marshal, except to attend the ceremony, the heavy cavalry is not allowed to enter the palace without being summoned. The prince's attendants, who had come out to greet him, carefully told the marshal, lest the words be inappropriate.

The 46 knights of the 4th Squadron of Dragoons looked at each other, not expecting Ferdinand to be so well guarded that he would not allow the heavy cavalry to accompany the marshal into the palace.

Field Marshal Karl, dressed in a black red uniform, tilted his head and exchanged views with Admiral Farina.

"The Dreadnought Knights are about to enter the city, and Ferdinand must be cowering in the palace and afraid to come out. He was also afraid of accidents. Admiral Farina muttered in her ear. (To be continued.) )
