In the spring of the third year of the Longhan calendar, the situation on the mainland was already on the verge of breaking out, and the Red Panther Knights led by Hebrew and a total of seven regular army brigades and three compulsory brigades rushed from the hinterland of the Oslan Empire gathered in Budapest, the largest city in western Xinjiang, and three nearby cities, with a combat number of 100,000 people, almost one-third of the empire's combat troops.

On the other side, the aliens occupied Tallinnburg, a satellite city to the west of Oslan, as well as the four surrounding war fortresses. According to the statistics of later historians, the number of foreign soldiers had reached nearly 20,000 at the beginning of the Longhan calendar.

At the same time, Prince Schwab Gustav, the new Imperial Marshal of Satya, led two dragon knights who had just returned to the capital to collect the remnants of Maxim's army and stationed a total of 350,000 people in the city of Ankara on the eastern border of Satya.

Later historians have analyzed the situation at that time. The disparity in the strength of the three sides of the battle is huge, and it has even reached a very obvious gap of 3.5:0.2:1. However, in terms of combat effectiveness alone, Satya's soldiers have the weakest overall combat effectiveness, and they are also the most lacking in the ability to organize and fight on a small scale. However, Satya's new marshal is a dragon knight, and there are two dragoons in their troops, plus Satya's magic archers are in the team, and the overall ability has been improved a lot.

Alien soldiers have the strongest individual combat ability, and judging from the data, the combat effectiveness of one alien soldier is equivalent to ten Satya soldiers. Moreover, the overall quality of the alien army is not weak, and in some small-scale encounters in peacetime, especially their light cavalry squads, they can always gain a lot of military merits.

The Oslan military department spoke highly of the alien light cavalry, "advancing like a thunderbolt, retreating like a swift wind". The Alien Light Cavalry was also praised by the two empires for their mounted archery methods, and they set out to train a new group of light cavalry to fight against the alien light archers. However, the knights, accustomed to the spear and shield method, had difficulty understanding this tactic, which was contrary to chivalry, and the training process was a little slow. On the contrary, the desert light cavalry of Satya made rapid progress in this regard, and was expected to be in the war within a year.

Speaking of the combat effectiveness of the Oslan army, it is impossible not to mention their conscripts. To be precise, the combat capabilities of the conscripts are very weak. If it is used to defend a city, its ability is equivalent to that of light infantry in various countries, but when it is used as a siege, it is estimated that its combat effectiveness will be zero. However, the regular army of Oslan, led by the elite "Red Panther Knights", the heavy cavalry was the most powerful, and the plains from Budapest to Tallinn were all plains, which greatly helped to improve the ability of the heavy cavalry. The "Red Panther Knights", now deployed in Budapest, had a brigade of heavy cavalry, a light cavalry brigade and a light infantry brigade. Plus a brigade of the "Snow Wolf Praetorian Guard" light infantry brigade drawn from all over the country. The quality of the army of the Oslan Empire is very high, and more than half of it is made up of five elite units. There is also a dragon knight and a team of mages led by two mages, and the overall ability of the Oslan Empire should be said to be the strongest among the three warring parties.

A few days ago, two of Satya's dragon knights had come to Budapest to visit, and the two chiefs had been in their rooms for a whole day until it was getting late. It can be seen from the smiling faces of both parties that the conversation was very pleasant.

In the month that followed, there was friction between the three warring parties almost every day, and there were no less than 100 wars, large and small. Villages within hundreds of miles of Tallinn were devastated, and the alien soldiers were quite cruel, and because they had no means of producing resources on the mainland. In desperation, they even carried out a heinous three-light policy near Tallinn, and everywhere they went, they were devastated.

At this time, the envoy group that had traveled for more than half a year on the other side of the continent finally arrived in Vatican City, the capital of the Holy Patriarchate, and the number of envoys who entered the Vatican alive was less than 20% of the number at the time of departure. The cardinal archbishop, who had rushed to greet him upon hearing the news, was shocked and hurriedly arranged for them to go to meet His Majesty the Pope.

Pope St. Peter III arranged to receive them in a secret conference room of the Holy See. In addition to Abby and Charzo, the Pope invited Bert and Eileen, who were also from the Holy See, to the meeting.

Both were young men who grew up in villages within the limits of the Holy See. Like everyone else, they are all faithful members of the Holy See. When they saw God's spokesman, they immediately knelt down and gave the highest rites.

The Pope smiled and pulled them up, praising them continuously. "Both of you are promising young people of the Holy See, and now it is during the war on the mainland, and it is the time to employ people, and I believe that in the future you will be the pillars of the mainland. ”

The crowd gave the Pope a general account of what had happened near Tallinnburg, and even the well-informed Pope was dumbfounded. After hearing that the three of Bert fought against the enemy's main general, and took the opportunity to cast a large-scale teleportation magic, the Pope even praised the ability of the two.

While everyone was still discussing the next matters, suddenly a cardinal archbishop hurried over and whispered a few words in the Pope's ear. The Pope was momentarily shocked, signaled to everyone, and followed the cardinal out of the room.

"What the hell is going on?" asked the Pope as soon as he left the conference room, and at the same time walked towards the Holy See Secret Chamber.

The cardinal archbishop said as he walked: "According to the guards, just now, the Pisces jade pendant suddenly glowed, and they were afraid that something would go wrong, so they came to report me as soon as possible. But I don't want to disturb you when I see you discussing things inside, so let them continue to observe. But after a while, the jade pendant actually floated in the air, and when I went over to look at it......" The cardinal archbishop hesitated and didn't know what to say.

"What do you see?" the Pope asked.

"When I went to see it, the jade pendant turned into two swords......" The archbishop hesitated, but decided to say it.

The color of the Pope's face changed dramatically, and his steps quickened. After rounding several intersections, the two entered a small gate guarded by several paladins, walked for a while, opened a few mechanisms, and came to the most secret place of the Holy See.

In front of them, two long swords floated in the air, and the holy light that fell out of nowhere shrouded them in the middle, as if they were trying their best to prevent them from flying out. The swords sometimes merged and sometimes scattered, constantly striking at the light that controlled them.

When the Pope looked closer, the two long swords seemed to be one meter long, and from the hilt of the sword, you could still see the original jade pendant, which were two fish, which were now at the ends of the two hilts. The two long swords were one black and one white, and the sword body couldn't see what material it was, but it reflected bursts of cold light under the illumination of the holy light.

The two swords suddenly merged into one, and the blades shone with silver brilliance, and rushed directly towards the Holy Light Bi.
