Robert, as a general, is not a gambler, he will not wait until the whole line collapses before ordering a retreat, but chooses to retreat when the first signs appear, that is, when he has the ability to retreat, he can still retreat with his whole body, so that he will not fall into the quagmire and cannot get out, or even annihilated.

The army of the Holy See withdrew like a receding tide from Moncloix, which had been reduced to ruins.

Gippetto was the last to fight the mysterious Old God Elect, his scissors shattering the hood of his black cloak, revealing a shriveled head with sunken eye sockets that burned like a skeleton with a faint blue flame.

Gippetto's scissors tore the skeleton's mouth open, tearing from the left ear root to the right ear root.

The Old God Elector was no easy arest, slashing off half of Gippetto's neck with the giant scythe in his hand, turning Gippetto into a crooked head, his head resting on his shoulders, and the severed half of his neck exposed the rotating gears, which from time to time exploded a cluster of electric sparks.

Huangfu was extremely sorry, he could have pursued it, but now the first problem is to suppress "Rahu", re-strengthen the control of "Rahu", prevent it from getting out of control, and can only watch the "Steam Archon" withdraw from the battlefield.

On the other side, the battle for San Antonio has officially begun.

The two immortals finally couldn't continue to compete in strategic determination, and they were both present in person. Joseph sat inside the San Antonio Mission, and the palace sat outside the city, facing each other from afar.

However, at the beginning of the battle, the two immortals did not shoot directly, and they had to choose a suitable moment. In the beginning, it was still in the realm of conventional warfare. Whichever side can't support it first, and which side's immortals strike first to save the situation, it is easy to be preempted by the opponent later, and the first strike is controlled by others. For the two people between the two of them, the impact is still very great.

The west gate still lined up the artillery group, and the first artillery fire was covered.

The Holy Court was also not polite, and the land reinforcements did not have time to support, but the air reinforcements were still able to arrive quickly. This time it was no longer an ordinary battle airship, abandoning machinery and steam, it was a completely arcane artifact, and its shape resembled a nautilus magnified countless times, not in the style of the Holy See.

This "Nautilus" is the top warship used by the Steam Gospel to benchmark the Daomen "Ying Long", like a living creature, and even has thousands of meters of tentacles dancing.

Along with the "Nautilus" came many dragon knights, hovering around the "Nautilus", escorting, they rode the Western winged dragon, roaring across the sky, the dragon spewed flames, the knights held dozens of meters long terrifying dragon spears, even if they rode on the back of the dragon, the weapon can also play a role.

The West Gate did not dispatch the "Ying Dragon" of the Daomen, but the "Sun Boat".

It was as if the long dark night had finally dawned, and the dazzling light came like a flood, illuminating the whole heaven and earth, making all darkness disappear.

It is as if a second sun has appeared in the sky, and it is as if it is a supreme eye, overlooking the world.

There are many sun gods in the world, such as the Sun True Monarch, the Great Sun Nyorai, Himi Huzun, Kukulkan, etc., some have fallen, or have left the world, and there are still Himi Huzun and Kukulkan.

The sun gods can snatch, share, and inherit the priesthood from each other, and the concept of the priesthood is relatively general, and it usually manifests itself as some kind of supernatural power. For example, Himiko returned to Buddhism and claimed to be the incarnation of the Great Day Nyorai, so he shared part of the priesthood of the Great Day Nyorai and was able to use the supernatural powers of the Great Day Nyorai.

In the past, there was a place called Misil in the west of the continent of Sipsa, where there was a god system that had declined, and its main god was also the sun god, and every night he had to enter a state of death, first taking a night boat from the Valley of the Dead into Hades, passing through the twelve checkpoints on the River Styx, and then defeating the Chaos Serpent Ampep under the protection of the gods, and finally changing to a day boat at the end of the River Styx to ascend from the mother river of Misil.

The sun god is gone, and only a few ruins remain, bathed in the light of the Supreme Will. Kukulkan, who was not yet extinct, stole the priesthood of the sun god and obtained the magical powers of the night boat and the day boat, and after cooperating with Xidaomen, the two sides jointly built this "sun boat" to fight against the "nautilus" of the steam gospel.

In fact, the Central Plains was also facing this kind of crisis back then, and even because the Son of Heaven and the emperor of the Central Plains were one, there were few serious gods at all, but at that time, as the lord of the Central Plains, Confucianism ushered in its last saint - the sage of Xinxue, and the ancestor of the Taishang Dao also left in Kunlun to guard the "capital of the emperor" Lu Wushen, both of which are equivalent to the two tribulation immortals, so that the foreign gods dare not rashly enter the Central Plains.

However, it is also an indisputable fact that the Western Regions, Nanyang, and Fenglinzhou on its periphery have been lost one after another.

During the reign of Emperor Shizong of the Great Wei Dynasty, the saint of Xinxue passed away, but it was still in the reign of King Sejong, after a few decades, Xuansheng was born.

With the death of the sage of Xinxue, Confucianism ushered in a total decline. Xuansheng was born in the reign of Sejong and grew up in the reign of Muzong, and finally integrated the Daomen in the reign of Shenzong, supported Daxuan to replace Dawei, defeated Confucianism, and opened Hao

The mighty Daomen era.

Just after Xuansheng became the first generation of the Great Palm Sect and built the Wanshou Chongyang Palace, the vice-capital of the Daomen, Lu Wushen completed his mission and released the pseudo-immortals in the Kunlun Cave Heaven, officially handed over Yujing and Kunlun Cave Heaven to Xuan Sheng, and flew away from the world.

In fact, at the last moment before the arrival of this long night of the end of the Dharma, representatives of the three religions were born, the representative of Confucianism was the sage of Xinxue, the representative of Taoism was the Xuansheng, and the representative of Buddhism was the Buddha master a little later.

In the end, Xuan Sheng led the Daomen to the last laugh.

Daomen defeated Buddhism again, regained the Western Regions, Nanyang, Fenglinzhou and other places, and became the co-master of the Eastern World.

Xidaomen also moved to the Western Continent at this time, and went to the New World with the wave of discovery of the New World to take root.

The next thing is the history of Daomen and Xidaomen.

After the Xuansheng, there were five Great Masters in charge of the Daomen, and the Daomen reached its peak in the hands of the five generations of Great Masters, and it was like the sky. It is precisely because the merits of the Five Generations of Great Palm Sects are too great, their prestige is too high, and their means are powerful, that they suppressed the Three Realms and became the most powerful Great Palm Sect after the Xuan Sheng.

Xidaomen struggled to survive in the New World, not the opponent of the Holy See, and finally contacted the Daomen, got the assistance of the Daomen, and after hundreds of years of struggle, took advantage of the steam gospel and the internal strife of the Holy See, united all forces, and led the aborigines to successfully establish Tawanting.

Along with the "Sun Boat" appeared a golden eagle warrior, with a human body with a head and golden wings on its back, bathed in golden light, although the eagle warriors did not have flying dragons, but they were more numerous than the dragon knights, armed with bows and arrows.

These people are also special believers of the ancient gods, according to the agreement between Xidaomen and the ancient gods, Xidaomen helped the ancient gods stabilize their faith, and the ancient gods also had to help Xidaomen fight against the steam gospel.

This time, the army went out to fight, whether it was attacking the city or defending the city, the shadows of the ancient gods could be seen. This is also the special strength of the West Daomen, but compared with the spiritual officer troops established by the Daomen, there is a bit of a gap between the local armed forces and the regular army.

These eagle warriors opened their bows and arrows, and a volley was fired, and there was no rain of arrows, but countless dazzling golden lights, like a vast rain of light.

The true fire of the sun burned in these golden rays, and the temperature increase that could be clearly felt even distorted the space.

Dressed in bright red armor with thorns and barbs, the Wyvern Knights were distinct from the traditional Templars, fearless in the face of the raging light and rain, and charged in the face of a rain of arrows.

Although land

The battle turned into an air battle, but the basic idea remained the same.

The Nautilus and the Sun Boat are still in place, firing cannons, the former firing rancid slime that looks like an acid rain falling every time it fires, and the latter firing flames that rain down small meteor fires.

Ground forces are also at war.

Except for some special forces, such as the Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry, it is difficult to see that kind of face-to-face fighting. At a glance, in addition to the smoke of artillery fire and flying dust, there are trenches.

The thunderous artillery swarms seemed to have not stopped, and the entire outskirts of the city had been reduced to rubble.

Gong Fu did not think about the complete occupation of San Antonio, his goal was simple, to carry out a major attack on the San Antonio mission in a short period of time, and to systematically destroy the logistics system and military facilities of the Holy See army

annihilation, then declare victory, withdraw from the Northern Continent, return to the Southern Continent, and recover Del Rio.

At this time, the army of the Holy See had to withdraw due to logistical constraints, so the two sides returned to the original border.

The purpose of this great war is to concentrate superior forces within a limited time, break through one by one, and quickly resolve the battle and annihilate the enemy.

In this way, Xidaomen not only proved his ability to Daomen, not blindly being beaten, but capable of fighting back and destroying the San Antonio Mission, and at the same time did not expand the situation, Xidaomen and the Steam Gospel were a draw, and no one could help anyone, but ushered in a period of peace.

This is the service of the military to politics.

It is also in line with Qi Xuansu's interests.

Qi Xuansu was ordered to stabilize the situation and be able to achieve this goal, then even if he won the victory in the preliminary stage, he could return to Yujing for a phased debriefing, and then enter the second stage.

In fact, Qi Xuansu had already begun to think about returning to Yujing to report on his work.

Since Qi Xuansu learned that Xiao Yin had been wronged, he thought about preparing a gift for Xiao Yin, preferably a specialty of the Southern Continent that Xiao Yin had never seen.

Of course, you can't forget the child, if the child is jealous, it will not be beautiful. If you push it like this, your mother, you can't forget that this is a jealous person, and you can't just prepare it, if you treat it differently, you can't take off a big hat that you have married and forgotten your mother.

One sheep is to drive, two sheep are to be released, do the two mothers-in-law also want to express it? Mother-in-law said, what about father-in-law?

Qi Xuansu only felt a headache, and began to want to save trouble, or just let Chen Jianqiu prepare it in Yujing, and he just took it when he went back.
