The combat meeting lasted a full hour and a half, and it went from a peace discussion at the beginning to a clapping table at the back.

The nobles were divided into two factions, one faction supported an immediate counteroffensive, and the whole army attacked, led by Duke Yinvanovich, and the other faction suggested a frontal sheep attack, taking advantage of the enemy's main force to deploy cavalry in Tyumen City to sneak attack the enemy's rear, cut off the material delivery route, and drag down the enemy with the help of the great cold wave, headed by the Grand Duke of Livonia, Gregory.

I have to say that the decision to eat first and then have a meeting is somewhat reasonable, if you don't eat, where will these nobles have the strength to spray?

In the end, Katerina couldn't listen anymore and slapped the table, forcing everyone to be quiet and telling her battle plan.

Her plan leaned towards Duke Yovanovich and advocated a frontal counterattack, after all, it was not only the enemy army that was dragged down in the city, but also them.

With nearly 20 million refugees, the daily food needs is an astronomical amount, and the Romanov Kingdom does not have enough capital to compete with the Windsor Kingdom.

If you don't face it head-on, it is likely that you will not succeed in stealing chickens in the end, and the Romanov Kingdom will not be able to withstand it first, then the situation will be terrible.

It was Paul I who decided on the final plan, and after a few private conversations with Archbishop Henry, he expressed his support for Duke Yovanovich and Katerina and launched a major counteroffensive.

Duke Yovanovich was ordered to assume the post of commander-in-chief and immediately began to dispatch troops and give orders to command the five army groups stationed around the city of Tyumen.

Two thousand artillery pieces, dragged by horses, came to the open area outside Tyumen and formed an artillery position, which was in the center, constantly advancing under the cover of the infantry regiment, tens of thousands of cavalry spread out on the flanks, and non-commissioned officers supervised the battle.

At the same time, several other fronts, which were also spread out around Tyumen, were far away from the 2nd Army, which occupied favorable terrain, and the atmosphere was tense, with commanders constantly running through the phalanx on horseback to boost morale and arrange troops.

Through the binoculars, Ma Wei saw the dense soldiers outside the city and Duke Yin Wanovich hiding in the center of the position, his brows furrowed, and his heart was a little worried.

The tactics used by Duke Yin Wanovich belong to the classical infantry hollow phalanx, the cavalry surprise attack is outflanked, the artillery is in the center and dragged back, and it can be withdrawn at any time, there is no problem in the era of no high-precision and high-fire weapons, from the formation interval and personnel deployment, it is not difficult to see that Duke Yin Wanovich has received professional military training, but ....

The problem is that most of the soldiers on the Romanov Kingdom's side are still equipped with old-fashioned flintlock muskets, and the artillery is also front-loading guns, on the other hand, on the Windsor Kingdom's side, all the Delesse bolt-action rifles and Armstrong rear-loading guns, regardless of accuracy or reloading speed...

Both sides have more than twice as many gaps.

In terms of geographical conditions, the second army of the Windsor Kingdom occupies the hillside and is condescending, and the Romanov Kingdom is a plain with dense soldiers, and it is really fighting...

It's not certain who wins and who loses.

"The key is the priests of the Wisdom God Cult, if they can't crack the magic of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate, the Romanov Kingdom will definitely be defeated." Katerina said in a deep voice: "If you lose this battle, Tyumen will be in danger..."

"I see Archbishop Henry's clothes full of confidence." Ma Wei said: "There must have been a way for a long time. ”

Mavi and Katerina did not take part in the great counteroffensive, their mission was completed, and although they failed to capture the Marquis of James, they destroyed the command post of the Second Army, cut off the railroad of the First Army, and deserved to be given a break.

No one expected that they would attack the village of Harsha at 5 o'clock in the morning, and Paul I did not know about it, originally he wanted to let Katerina take the lead before the big counterattack, and now this plan has also been lost.

The First Cause of All Worlds

Just when the two armies were facing each other and the atmosphere was tense, in the position of the Romanov Kingdom, an old man in a blue robe suddenly walked out, holding a scepter in his hand, and walked to the open area in front of the formation under the gaze of countless people, his long white beard fluttering in the wind, and his robe hunting and dancing.

Archbishop Henry!

He glanced over to where Mavi and Katerina were standing, his gaze retracted, his lips squirming as if he were whispering something.

A huge magic circle suddenly appeared at his feet, and in a whirlwind, a light green glow rushed through it, and then, he raised his scepter and pointed it at the sky...

A pillar of light plunged straight into the sky, tore through the clouds, and went straight.

"What is he doing?" Katerina frowned.

Edward's eyes flashed, staring at the pillar of light rushing into the sky, and said with a serious expression: "Astral magic." ”

As soon as the words fell, it was dark and white, and there was no trace of starlight in the sky, suddenly lit up one after another, they were connected to each other, and an image was sketched under the stimulation of the pillar of light, and then...

The projection was lowered.

The stars were shining, and a scorpion as tall as a farmhouse fell from the sky and fell straight into the position of the Second Army.

The priests of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate immediately opened the realm of eternal life, and the commanders shouted to calm the retreating soldiers and let them shoot, and in the dense gunfire, the bullets shattered the hard shell of the scorpion, and from the hard shell poured out not thick blood, but smaller scorpions.

The soldiers who had been stung by the scorpion would convulse and fall to the ground in a matter of seconds, their skin covered with bruised lines, and the Immortal Realm had detoxified them, but at this time, the endless tide of scorpions had crawled all over their bodies, constantly tearing at their newborn flesh, and the painful wails of their companions almost made the other soldiers collapse, and then they realized...

Death is sometimes a mercy.

"Father! Father!

！ ”

The commander found the priest with a pale face and roared, "Don't you have any way to deal with these scorpions?" My soldiers are suffering!

！ ”

The priest in charge of unfolding the realm of eternal life looked gloomy at the other group of priests behind him, "It's time for you to make a move." ”

The group of priests nodded, stepped forward, raised their palms, and instead of casting the Death Realm, they used another ring.

"Ancient magic, black mist."

The golden ring was full of light, and under the joint urging of more than a dozen priests accompanying the army, a majestic black fog gushed out, obscuring the starlight falling from the sky, and the scorpion, which had lost the source of its power, collapsed suddenly.

The black fog did not dissipate, but drifted into the sky, merging into a large black cloud, obscuring the sun and the stars.

"This..."

Seeing this scene, Ma Wei was shocked: "Why is the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny preparing to deal with the ring of astrological magic?" Could it be that they already knew that Archbishop Henry used astrological magic? ”

All kinds of doubts came to his mind, Ma Wei had always felt that something was wrong, why did Archbishop Henry, who was able to use astrological magic, implement a policy of non-resistance in the month after the outbreak of the war?

Did Archbishop Henry know that the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate had prepared magic to deal with astrological magic?

Did I prejudge the other person's prediction?

Reminiscent of the Kingdom of Windsor raising the whole army to attack the Romanov Kingdom, without the slightest fear of being backstabbed by other kingdoms...

Ma Wei suddenly felt that this war seemed to have been planned from the beginning.

It's like a group of greedy diners who have discussed how to divide the food before it is served.

The current chaotic situation...

I'm afraid it's because of the uneven distribution of spoils!

If that's the case... Ma Wei shuddered.

The New Religious Law, the war, the early arrival of the Cult of Wisdom...

His previous guess came true.

This is indeed a bureau, a bureau that is fully planned by the group of old immortals hiding behind the scenes!

According to their plan, I am afraid that the small church will have no room to turn over, and will only become a lamb to the slaughter, and together with the Romanov kingdom, they will be eaten one by one.

Luckily, there are kingdoms that break the rules of the game and want to snatch a bigger pie!

"I see..."

Ma Wei sneered: "What a good game of chess..."
