Chapter 41: The Praying Mantis and the Yellow Sparrow

readx;? At the summit of the Mountain of Light, in the majestic Temple of Light, Pope Magus sat expressionlessly on the golden throne, his face still pale and almost bloodless, indicating that his injuries had not healed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 In the center of the temple below him, there were several people kneeling. They held their breath, not daring to breathe, under the silent pressure of the Pope.

"So...... Is it impossible to regain lost territory?"

The Pope finally asked, still indifferent, but much more relaxed for the kneeling man. One of them replied respectfully and apprehensively: "Your Majesty, the dragon clan has almost come out of the nest in this sudden change, and the elven clan has at least tens of thousands of elites involved. Our magicians' initial ambush was perfect, but somehow the dragons and elves knew about it in advance. The cunning elves scattered the [Eugene Snake Vine] on the battlefield, allowing those plants to multiply in an instant, destroying all the gravity magic arrays. When the magicians opened the magic array, they found that it was too late, and the overwhelming dragon had already arrived in front of them. Caught off guard...... Almost all the magicians died tragically under the dragon's breath, and even Philifa was killed, and then ...... The army has also collapsed......!"

"What about Davenport? What about Fermo Banning? Are the two commanders who actually commanded the army dead? Is he unable to organize effective resistance with more than 100,000 troops on the front line? The illusory warriors in their hands are all used to watch?What about the three Apocalypsees, Belchem, Uhtred, and Cresida? Can't even stop a dragon......?" After all, all the losses this time were elites, and more than 100,000 people were almost wiped out, which was too heavy.

Pope...... Under the crown, there is another strange ...... this. Not everyone can withstand the wrath of the Pope, and the few heralds on their knees trembled and their teeth chattered. There was a little disadvantage in speaking: "At that time...... Master Davenport, the master, commanded not far away, and when the gravity magic array suddenly failed and the dragon pounced, Lord Davenport immediately began to disperse and command the legion reinforcements in the rear. But...... But his order was not delivered. More than a dozen heralds were killed by a sudden assassination attack. Even Lord Davenport was seriously injured, and if it weren't for the desperate protection of the Skyscanner guards, the Lord in Command would probably ......!"

Needless to say, Margus also had a general idea of what had happened. Davenport, as the commander-in-chief, was suddenly hit hard, and more than a dozen heralds were killed without even taking the order out. It is no wonder that the entire battlefield is not completely chaotic. But who could sneak up on the master who was protected by the Phantom Warriors? The dragon could ignore it, as for the elves...... Their Night Elf Hunters might be able to stealth their whereabouts, but it was certainly impossible to break through the defenses of at least a dozen Skyscanner warriors and kill them. So who will it be?

The Pope muttered, and the rumoured scout continued to reply: "After the collapse of the battle line, Lord Davenport had to give the order to retreat to the second line of defense in the rear. At that time, the news was learned that Belchester the Apocalypse and Master Uhtred specially led the two elites of the Knights of the Protector of the Holy See to meet them from the second line of defense. We've almost secured the situation, and the dragons and elves, though ferocious, are not strong enough after a hundred or so miles. But we never thought of it. It's all an illusion, it's a conspiracy! Bad news suddenly came from the second line of defense............ Lord Fermobanning, the commander of the second line of defense...... And then there's Cressida, the Apocalypse, who stays behind...... By...... Killed by a sneak attack, one of the elves' elite cheetah cavalry regiment approached at some point, penetrated through the gap exposed in the rear, causing a huge panic. The dragon and elf alliance forces on the front line, which had just been exhausted, suddenly killed again, completely crushing the entire battle situation......!"

Hearing that Fermobanning and Cresida had all been killed, Margus could no longer remain indifferent. It was his henchman, but he didn't expect to die like this. Particularly troubling are the ...... How did they die, and who could have sneak up on and kill the powerful Apocalypse and the Controller?

"Have you found out who attacked?"

"I don't know...... No one could see the attacker. The warriors guarding Lord Fermobanning only saw two silver rays of light pass by, and then the Lord fell to the ground, his entire neck ...... Cut off. Mistress Cressida went in pursuit, but he didn't return for a long time. The defeated army in front of them retreated, and only a few soldiers found the corpse of Lord Cressida in a bush miles away...... ”

............ The Temple of Light fell silent again, and Margus remained silent for a long time. It wasn't until the legs of several scouts kneeling on the ground were numb that the Pope said lightly: "Go back, let Davenport lead the rest of the army to retreat another three hundred miles, and abandon all the southern subcontinent." Let the dragons and elves be proud for a while, and then ...... They'll pay the price!"

The Pope did not have any punishment or reprimand, and a few rumored scouts were pardoned, and now they can explain to Lord Davenport. After thanking the Pope, and just as he was about to turn around and leave the main hall, the voice of Margus rang out: "Go back and tell Uhtred and Belchem that they can protect Davenport, and if the master is assassinated by the enemy again, the two of them don't have to come back!"

After agreeing, the wind scouts walked out of the hall nervously, flapped the wings of the wind chime phantom bird armor, and soon flew into the sky and galloped south!

When the Wind Scout had left, and the priests serving the Pope had retreated, Margus looked at the empty hall and suddenly asked, "What do you think, Chisnoor, who do you think would have killed Fermobanning and Cresida? Who could easily kill a master and an apocalypse without revealing his whereabouts?"

The figure wrapped in a dark burqa turned out from behind the main hall, lifted his cloak, and revealed a face as pale and bloodless as that of Margus, a very young man, although he looked a little thin, but the occasional glint in his eyes showed that he was extraordinary, as if there was a volcano buried deep in his heart, and if it erupted, it would destroy everything.

"Margus, I've only been an emissary for a few months, and I haven't fully fused with the power of the God of Light, do you think I'll know?" the man named Chisnoel shook his head, rarely indifferently.

Margus frowned slightly, dissatisfied with Chisnoor's disrespect. But there is no way, although the Bright God Envoy is a consumable, but they have indeed obtained the power of the Light God, and the power and status they have are not weaker than him.

"How long will it take for you to fully merge the power of the God of Light? The alliance between the dragon and the elves poses a great threat to us, and the evil giants that have suddenly appeared in the east are approaching step by step. Even the orcs from the north have taken over a large city and are beginning to move. We are pressed for time, and we have to do something to teach them some lessons, otherwise we will fall into a lot of passivity. ”

"Hehe, don't worry, I don't have to stay in the Temple of Light for years like you. In a few months I'll be able to get out and about. Saying...... To be able to seriously injure the Great Apocalypse Pope to such an extent, what power does that orc's white-robed High Priest possess to be able to do this?"

"This is not something you should be concerned about, you should merge the power bestowed by the gods as soon as possible, and then go out to teach those heretics a profound lesson, restore glory, and wash away the shame suffered by the Holy See of the Apocalypse. The Pope snorted, not satisfying the curiosity of the new god envoy Chisnoor.

Chisnoor shrugged, he also knew that this could be a great secret, even for him, the oracle of light...... No one who has received the power of the gods can find out, so how could Pope Magus easily confide in it?

Putting on his cloak, he turned around and left leisurely, and said without looking back: "I will leave Guangming Mountain in a few months, and then I will go to the south first............ The beauty of the Elven Empress is famous in the continent, so you have to see it...... Haha!"

The Pope watched Chisnoll leave, not caring about his rudeness............ This guy was originally a corrupt nobleman of a small kingdom, if it weren't for his special physique, he would not have been able to accept the divine power of the God of Light, and it would not have been his turn to be the God of Light.

And the Light Divine Envoy is just a consumable, who would be angry with a guy who is destined to have a short life?

The current situation of the human race seems to be very bad, but in fact, Margus does not take it to heart, how can the foundation of the Apocalypse Holy See be so shallow? Although the Senate is rotten, those Patriarch-level elders have not appeared, and their strength is even stronger than that of the Apocalypse. Plus the whole continent is secretive...... The Bavarian valley where the Holy See raises phantom beasts to dig up phantom crystals, once it is fully exploded, Margus can even form a thousand-strong army of phantom armored warriors, such a strength, even if a hundred dragons come, they will only be sent to death............!

"Who's the praying mantis and who's the yellow finch............? Let's keep making trouble, the bigger the trouble, the better!" said to himself with a faint smile, and re-immersed himself in the looming divine aura of the Temple of Light, to repair the body that had been badly damaged by the High Priest of Radaman!

........................ Dividing line ..................

Satisfied, Baroque said goodbye to the Elven Empress and the Dragon King Obasekita and prepared to return home.

Their first alliance battle was perfect, not only defeating the human alliance led by the Holy See, but also seizing a large territory, and almost the entire southern subcontinent of Sauron was occupied by dragons and elves. If it weren't for the small number of dragons and elves, it would have been a bit difficult to control such a large place, and they would have been able to continue to advance for hundreds of miles.

As an ally on the orc side, Baroque is alone, but his contribution is not small at all. Davenport's heavy damage was caused by Wolf Sun and Aurora, and although it was a pity that they failed to kill him, it also caused panic among the human army. The Wolves, Morningstar and Eternal Night, successfully attacked and killed Fermobanning, the commander of the second line of defense in the rear. Then he lured out Cresida, the Apocalypse, and was blocked by the Baroque and successfully killed him. In the end, the entire human coalition panicked, which in turn hastened its collapse.

Baroque's prowess once again shocked Obasekita, and the haughty Dragon King interacted with Baroque with an equal mindset, and the two developed a good friendship.

As for the elven queen Siloria―――――― she looked at Baroque almost with the eyes of a defensive enemy, so that Baroque had to flee in embarrassment. (To be continued.) )
