Although the elven army is well-deserved to be the strongest army in the continent, it has been suppressed by the empire because its number is too small. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After all, even if the soldiers of the elven army are all ten of them, they can only top 100,000 ordinary soldiers, and the peak of the empire is no less than 200,000 troops.

Even if the local armies that lacked local combat effectiveness were not included, the elite combat strength of the empire would have been maintained at about 100,000 men.

This is not a small number, you must know that the combat effectiveness of well-equipped and well-trained elite soldiers is several times that of ordinary local soldiers.

This will further widen the gap if the formation of the formation and killing will be further widened, as evidenced by the instant rout of the rebel army in the face of the impact of the imperial army and the border army.

But in the past few years, after a series of civil wars, the empire's military strength has suffered a series of weakenings, and until now it is still in the hands of Rhaegar that is only 2,000 members of the Royal Knights commanded by Ranmarok and 2,000 people of the Knights of Light commanded by Austin, a total of 4,000 people.

As for the other sporadic guards or anything, they don't count, no matter how strong an individual's combat ability is, they can't fight against the entire army.

Lin Ye had encircled and suppressed the monster that had survived for hundreds of years in the holy mountain of the Medusa family, and no matter how powerful it was, it couldn't withstand the attack of the arrow array.

This is really a heavy blow to the Empire, who would have thought that the Empire would fall to such a point in just a few years after Raymond's death.

But it is not surprising when combined with what happened to the previous dynasty, because the Aries dynasty at that time was almost in a similar situation, and even worse.

At this time, in the headquarters of the Church of Light, the Cathedral of the Holy Light, where Lin Ye had been judged, the cardinal was so angry that he smashed the crystal on his cane.

"Rhaegar bastard, it took us so much effort to put him on the throne, if it weren't for us, how could he have gained a foothold in the royal capital in the first place?

The cardinal trembled with rage, and he almost fainted when he learned of the existence of the place and that Rhaegar had gone in alone.

"Lord Bishop, Lord Austin has led the Knights of Light to wait outside, now that the royal capital has been breached, and the heretics are now heading towards the court, Ranmarok should be able to resist for a while, we should take this opportunity to leave the royal capital immediately and return to the Holy City. ”

A cardinal was a little anxious, although everyone had a premonition of the fall of the royal capital, but when the day came, he was still at a loss.

"Do you want to return to the Holy City? How can you explain to the Pope when you go back in such a gloomy way? Damn, it's all Rhaeggar's ...... No, it should be Lin Ye's bastard, Lin Nandu has already brought enough trouble to the church, I didn't expect him to take over his Lao Tzu's class, it's a great crime!"

The cardinal was furious, and it was supposed to be the perfect script to support the rise of Legar and the resurgence and rapid spread of the Church of Light.

Moreover, the civil war has a tendency to subside with Wren pacifying Leo and Leighton's rebels one after another, and he is already drawing a grand blueprint for the church.

But who would have thought that with the Far Eastern Army joining the battle, Wren would suddenly and inexplicably turn against him, if Wren alone could still deal with it.

Although the border army was strong, they couldn't capture the royal capital at all, but it was this Far Eastern Army that brought powerful siege weapons.

"Your Excellency, there is no time left, no matter what, as long as we return to the Holy City, we will be safe, and we can still regain our strength, but if we delay here any longer, and wait until those infidels, then the problem will be troublesome, let's go quickly, get out of here." ”

The cardinal continued to urge, now that there were soldiers outside the royal capital, the situation was very unclear, and they must immediately break through and escape from the royal capital.

"I knew that this kid was so tricky, and he should have been killed no matter what the price was paid three years ago, but I didn't expect it to cause today's disaster, so I had to leave like this?

The cardinal was reluctant, recalling three years ago when the young duke was nothing more than a fish to be slaughtered on a chopping board.

But it's only been a few years, but he has become the one who knocked on the gate of the royal capital, such a change is really unexpected.

"With the blessing of the goddess of light, defeat is only temporary, and we will definitely make a comeback in the future, Lord Bishop, let's go quickly. ”

The cardinal looked up at the huge dome, which had been built with a lot of manpower and material resources, and had always been a symbol of theocracy.

Once they leave here, the fate of this church is self-evident, and they are bound to move further and further away from the present life of luxury.

"Is it coming back? Hmph, that kid who was born in darkness and does not belong to this world will definitely be punished by the goddess of light, he will definitely go to hell! Let's go, go and meet Austin immediately, and when we return to the Holy City, there are light crystals, and they won't try to defeat us!"

The cardinal's gaze swept over the lifelike statues of angels, reluctant to leave, and finally he left accompanied by the cardinal.

Outside the Cathedral of Light, the 2,000 Knights of Light are ready under the command of Austin, the most devout warriors of the Church, blessed by the Light.

They didn't participate in the garrison, after all, they were armed under the Church, and if Raymond was still around, of course they would have to obey orders from the Lionheart, but in this situation, where would they care what fate the city would face?

"Are you leaving this city? It's a bit reluctant, it's a shame that you have to look at the faces of those old guys every day when you return to the Holy City. ”

Austin looked at the bustling city, and his words were a little regretful, but he didn't say anything more when he saw the cardinal come out.

When the clergy of the church got into the carriage, they were escorted by the Knights of Light, and they immediately walked down the street to prepare to leave the royal capital.

In this regard, they had already made arrangements, and after leaving the royal capital, they went all the way to the west, where there was a sacred place that the believers of the Church of Light longed for.

Legend has it that it is a holy city where the goddess of light was born, and it has existed for hundreds of thousands of years and has never fallen, as long as that place does not fall.

The flame of light will not be extinguished, and they will one day come back, everyone is convinced.

The banner at the top of the church fell with the departure of the Knights of Light, and even if they did return, it would not be today.
