Chapter 754: Correct Map
Inside the Holy City of Light, news of the defeat of Gregor and Joseph's legions in the north began to spread, which caused an uproar in the city. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At first, the Bishop of Light of the Holy Council tried to hide this from the believers, but the paper could not contain the fire.
News of the two defeats spread one after the other, and at the same time as external troubles appeared, Alfonso, who had already lost power, regained power and acted as the Holy Council.
And under his orders, his henchman Austin led the Knights of Light, which he single-handedly formed within the Empire, to the north.
It is the son of a pious believer selected from within the empire and cultivated from an early age, and it is a rare elite combat force within the Church of Light, and it is equally well-equipped.
When Austin was still in the imperial capital, he had intersections with Ranmarok and others, and the combat power of the Knights of Light was not under the Royal Knights.
Although there are only 2,000 men in number, the powerful cavalry with impact can exert great power when used in the right place.
After Austin led the Knights of Light north, Alfonso went to the Illumination Inquisition's prison cell to see the fallen Griff.
As Gregor's confidant, Griff was originally known as the fourth man in the church, and he was powerful, but due to his misjudgment in the riots that broke out in the northern Valley of Atonement, which led to the collapse of the whole line, Alfonso also used this to turn the situation back and regain his power.
"Have you sent Austin north? Even twenty-eight legions of light have been defeated in the north, what can a mere knight order change? You should not be arrogant and think that you can turn the situation around with just your little henchmen? When you run out of this henchman, you will not end well. ”
Griff learns of Austin's journey north, and Alfonso, who has imprisoned him and receives a verdict of light, is a heinous crime.
His gaze was filled with resentment, and he longed to throw Alfonso to be purified by the Light, he should have been the one who held the Holy Council.
"It's true that a mere Knights of Light is not as good as twenty-eight legions, but if used properly, it can play a more effective role than twenty-eight legions, Griff, don't make excuses for your incompetence, you are here to be judged honestly. ”
"And just listen to the news of my victory, the 100,000 Bright Expeditionary Force led by Gregor has been wiped out, and you have wiped out twenty-eight legions, you two are really incompetent, but fortunately with me, I can turn the tide and re-establish the main situation. ”
Alfonso is very confident in himself, after all, he is also a powerful person, he has been operating in the empire for many years, and he almost created the Holy See State.
This is a testament to his strength, and sometimes he thinks if it was not Rhaegar who had invested in him, but the young man from the Far East.
But where there weren't so many ifs, and the young man was destined to be in a different camp from the start.
"What can a legion do? Although I hate you with those guys, one thing is certain, and that is that they are very strong, and it will be difficult to defeat them on the battlefield, so you can only keep shrinking the line and let them in. ”
"Make full use of our advantages to trap them, time will be the sharpest weapon to defeat them, you will only lose our advantages if you take the initiative like this, and give full play to their strengths, it is very bad for us to go on like this, you can't let the church completely lose the initiative in the war!"
Although Griff has a deep grudge against Alfonso, he is still in the same interest of the church, after all, he is the bishop of the church.
He didn't want the church to lose the war, and even if he disagreed with Alfonso, he tried to persuade him to change his mind.
"If you fight them all, of course, it will not be their opponent, but don't forget one thing, what they want to do most now is not to attack the Holy City, but to find the Shadow City, open the Dark Tower, and gather the power of faith so that they can fight us. ”
"And if you want to open the Dark Tower, you have to have that young man come forward in person, now he should be looking for the whereabouts of the Dark Tower in the north, it is indeed impossible for us to defeat his entire army, but what if we only defeat him? ”
"He secretly went north with a maximum of 200 people, or even, less than 20 people, 2,000 elite cavalry is enough to defeat their small force of light and simple troops, as long as he is eliminated, the enemy is leaderless, to defeat them is naturally a matter of capture. ”
Confident and calm, Alfonso had already made a plan to deal with the invading enemy, and in fact it was not uncommon for him to do so.
There have been many confrontations between the Church of Light and the Holy See of Darkness in the history of confrontation, especially more than thirty years ago.
Now that the old trick is repeated, Alfonso is absolutely sure that he can still reap miraculous results, after all, the other party is an idiot who does not learn his lesson at all.
"Go north to find the Tower of Darkness, but the Tower of Darkness has been missing for decades, and it has never been found, and they are looking for the Tower of Darkness, and you go looking for them, is it easy? Don't be stupid, this kind of thing is impossible. ”
Griff shook his head after figuring out Alfonso's purpose, he didn't think his stupid plan would succeed.
For more than thirty years, the whereabouts of the Tower of Darkness have not been found, and the Church of Light has long since given up the idea of looking for it.
Now Alfonso confidently said that he could find it, which is simply an out-and-out joke.
"You can't do it, but I can't do it. Alfonso smiled and shook his head, seeing the confusion and confusion in Griff's eyes.
This made him feel very useful, like a cat and mouse, torturing his opponent to death step by step.
"Don't talk stupid, you have been running affairs on the land of the Empire for more than thirty years, and you rarely return to the Holy City, how much do you know about the affairs of the Holy City? You haven't been in this land for too long, how do you know the whereabouts of the Dark Tower?"
Griff yelled at Alfonso, this guy was just talking nonsense, living in his own fantasy.
"Why? I once got the correct map to the Dark Tower from one of Lin Nandu's henchmen, I wonder if this reason is enough for you?" Alfonso smiled as he revealed his final trump card.
In the more than thirty years he has been working on the eastern continent, he has obtained information that is not something that Griff and these guys can grasp.
