Chapter 775: Shield Canyon
Although the order from the Holy City was to let Odegaard defend the Holy Shield City and wait for reinforcements from the Holy City to arrive, according to Alfonso's strategy. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
He planned to concentrate all his forces on the Holy Shield City and keep the war out of the Holy Shield City, after all, this is the gateway to the Church of Light.
As long as the Holy Shield City is not captured, then the Church of Light will be able to continuously mobilize resources and troops from the rear to engage in a tug-of-war.
Alfonso was keenly aware of his strengths, and after more than 30 years of recuperation, they were well stocked with supplies and soldiers.
And the other party completely relied on a burning fire, trying to defeat the territory under the command of the Church of Light in one go, like a raging fire.
But the flames burned too quickly, and the more ashes there were, and they only needed to drag on in the Holy Shield City for three or five months, then the enemy would naturally collapse without a fight.
"That sounds like a good idea, but isn't it a sign of cowardice?, and even if the war is won in this way, it is he, Bishop Alfonso, who is to be praised for how wise and powerful he is, and how well he has been taught, right, all the credit is his. β
"And I, Odegaard, such a person who fought bloodily on the front line, turned out to be unable to get any credit and benefits, as soon as I think of this, I can't get angry, Alfonso that guy is a big layman at all, I'm an insider, okay, in the current situation of absolute advantage. β
"If I can take the initiative to defeat the enemy, then I will definitely get all the credit, is this the most basic calculation, even an idiot can calculate the power of the relationship, so I will definitely not be wrong in my choice, and now I have a legitimate reason to send troops. β
Odegaard led the infantry out of the city towards Aegis Canyon, a look of ecstasy on his horse.
After all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him, what can he really think about, is he really favored by the goddess of light?
"Who let that guy in Austin be surrounded by enemies and need me to rescue him, it's really funny to say, Alfonso's guy's descendants are surrounded, which is enough to show that those guys in the Knights of Light are all straw bales, and the leader of the straw bales, how good can Alfonso be?"
"Isn't he a little too naΓ―ve to snatch the credit from me at this level, and his subordinates are trapped and rescued by me, doesn't this mean that I am stronger than the straw bales under his hands, and my status in the Holy City will also rise?"
Odegaard was smug, and after seeing the cavalry of the Knights of Light who had come to ask for help, he had already made a plan and made his calculations.
"Of course, the Knights of Light are just more famous, in terms of real combat ability, how can they be compared with our army, they are just laymen and straw bales, the Pope is really, there are people like you, the city lord, you don't need it, but you use a fool like Alfonso. β
Ogier, who is good at squirming horses, also follows Odegaard out of the city, although he knows nothing about warfare, and is simply a superfluous commodity.
But how could such a place where credit could be made without him? And he had always been relied upon by Odegaard as a confidant.
"I think as long as we prove our strength here, the Pope will also understand, not far ahead is the Holy Aegis Canyon, is Austin surrounded here? Hey, how many people are besieging him, are you sure it's around three thousand? That's not much. β
Odegaard was now in the midst of a spring breeze, and he walked lightly, and he doubled as he approached.
The cavalry leading the way in front of him was the Knight of Light, who had just arrived at the Holy Shield City to ask for help, and told him that Austin was surrounded.
"That's right, it's really three thousand, my lord, you lead four thousand people to deal with that rabble, it's more than enough, hurry up, if it's too long, Lord Austin may not be able to hold on, but he is looking forward to your rescue him, otherwise it will be too late." β
The Knight of Light added fuel to Austin's predicament, urging Odegaard to speed up his march.
However, their expressions were very eager, and they could be regarded as full of emotion and color, and ordinary people could not see the slightest clue.
"Is this the unbeatable Austin out of this? Hmph, the last time he saw me, he also put on a stinky face, this time he relieved him, I must humiliate him, and publicize this matter, I want to discredit him and let everyone know about it!"
Odegaard remembered the previous meeting with Austin, and he hated it, and at the same time he made up his mind to make a big fuss.
At this time, the outline of the canyon had already appeared in front of them, and under the leadership of the Knight of Light, they increased their march speed and got closer and closer.
The sun was setting in the sky, and the dusk was spreading over this calm canyon, which was half in shadow and blurred to see.
Meanwhile, on the inner side of the canyon, Austin awaits Odegaard's arrival, albeit in a different condition than the Knight of Light describes.
At this time, it is true that Austin was with the Far Eastern Army, but he was not besieged, and the cavalry lined up behind him.
"I've heard that Odegaard is a megalomaniacal, do you think that fool thinks he's going to be a savior to save everything?"
"I think it's probably like that, counting the time, it's almost time to get here from Shield City, everyone has to get started and get ready to start. β
"Poor thing, that Odegaard, he thought he would be able to take credit, but he didn't expect that hell of despair awaited him here. β
Several cavalry officers behind Austin whispered, all of them riding sturdy horses, all from the far east of the empire.
"Lord Alfonso, I thank you for your kindness, but for the sake of the peace of this land, and for the people to live a more peaceful life, I have to make a choice, Odegaard, such a guy who has defiled this land in the name of faith......"
"Let's start with him, let all those who disturb the order get the punishment they deserve, although I am extremely tired of war, but it is indeed the most effective way to calm everything and finish everything, so let's begin, Lord Alfonso, we are already enemies. β
Austin took a deep breath as he looked at the silhouette of the army that appeared in front of him, the distance between them was getting closer, but because of the terrain.
The other party didn't seem to be aware of the situation on their side, after all, they had been planning for a long time, and the other party was hurrying over.
"Let's get started!"
