After letting go of their hands and feet, the speed of the Frankish army, which had been making slow progress, suddenly increased.

It's just that the killing will also be on the top.

In the beginning, it was revenge, and in the later stages, more killings were due to wealth.

The expansion of his subordinates, as the commander, Marquis Sunil, is also powerless.

Army robbery, this is a tradition in the continent of Aslant.

The massacre was not only to cover up the crime, but also to ensure the safety of the army's rear roads.

The bloody scene frightened many people.

The fanatics are still crazy, but more ordinary people are afraid.

Hearing the news that the Frankish army was coming, they dragged their families and ran away one by one. Among them, most of the people who took the lead were clergy from all over the country, but it was the people at the bottom who participated in the resistance the most.

It was not until the top of the Holy See took thunderous measures to kill the chickens and monkeys that the wave of flight was curbed, but by this time the enemy's army had already reached the foot of the holy mountain.

The battle for the defense of the Holy Mountain was about to break out, and the eyes of the whole continent were gathered, and now it was up to them to see if the Rankers really had the courage to attack the Holy Mountain.

……

"Reinforcements, where are they?"

Pius VII asked with concern.

He no longer has the heart to pay attention to the discussion of the outside world. Others would be suspicious of the courage of the Franks, but neither would the clerical hierarchy.

Looking at the performance of the Rankian army all the way, you know that in order to rush the time is all the way to slaughter. If you didn't come for the holy mountain, why would you be infamous as a "butcher"?

The tiger skin of the "gods" can only scare outsiders.

This is not the first time that a civil war has occurred among believers. The civil wars that have been waged over power in the history of the Holy See have not been once or twice, and the gods have never been concerned.

After all, man and god are two kinds of creatures, and the cognitive level of both sides is very different.

The gods look at the infighting of believers just as humans look at a swarm of ants fighting, and they don't care if the ants win or lose.

Including the Pope, who is known as the spokesman of the gods and spirits in the world, his status is not very high. With the long life of the gods and the skill of taking a nap, the human world has been passed down for several generations.

Anyway, Pius VII has been pope for so many years, and he has not received a single feedback from the gods. Most of the countless popes in the history of the Holy See.

"Your Majesty, the vanguard of reinforcements has arrived in the Kingdom of Ruthenia, and it is expected to arrive at the Holy Mountain in ten days!"

Blake replied hurriedly.

It was good news, but there was no relief on everyone's faces.

Hundreds of thousands of main forces are outside, and it is obviously impossible to come back so quickly, and only the Warcraft Legion can rush back in a short time.

If the enemy does not increase his troops, with this new force, the Holy See will be sure to win, and at least it will not be a problem to defend the Holy Mountain.

It's a pity that the Franks are not stupid, and they finally encountered this kind of fighter, how could they easily let it go?

Compared with the transfer of troops on land, it is much more convenient for people to come from the sea.

There is no way, who let the navy of the Holy See not give up, and it was slaughtered at the beginning of the battle.

This is the disadvantage of the technical arms, once the losses are heavy and the vitality is seriously damaged, even if the number of warships recovers, the combat effectiveness is still far from the same.

If we dig deeper, it is a problem of talent training.

There is no systematic system for cultivating naval talents, and it is all up to the officers and men to explore and sum up their experience, and the inheritance is limited to word of mouth from father to son.

"Inform the Knights of the Cathars, the Inquisition, the Hall of Judgment, the Camp of Ascetics, and the House of Worship...... Prepare for war and tell them that the Holy See has reached the most dangerous time, and they need to stand up and defend the faith! ”

Pius VII said in a low tone.

Being forced to do so by the enemy is rare in the entire history of the Holy See. And in the past, it was a foreign race, and it was the first time that the Terran infighting burned the flames of war to the holy mountain.

If the conventional armament is not enough, then you can only take out the foundation and fight with the enemy.

……

Snow Moon Collar, while eating melons and watching the excitement, Hudson did not forget to make trouble for the orcs.

The first to be unlucky were the orc tribes in the border area, which were swept by the kingdom's cavalry, forcing the tribes to retreat one after another.

The war had not yet begun, and the border had shrunk by two hundred miles, and if it had been left before, the orc court would have been furious.

This time the situation is markedly different. Even if the battle line was pushed, the orc empire still dispatched troops step by step, and no royal court jumped out to save face for the empire.

At a glance, you can see that this is preserving strength.

After all, at this moment, if you are fighting with the Alpha Kingdom, even if you win, you will lose a lot.

For the four royal families who have not yet recovered their peak, this kind of doomed blood loss is a business that can not be done.

The imperial court does not want its own strength to be damaged, and the weaker the orc royal family, no one wants to be the wrongdoer.

If you want to fight, everyone will act together, and if there is a loss, it will be shared by each family, anyway, you can't suffer for the sake of the empire's face.

The enemy was so solid that he could not find a fighter, and Hudson could not do anything.

It is enough to go deep into the prairie and run for thousands of miles, and it is enough to do it once, and the second time is to find death.

After fighting the orcs so many times, Hudson also knew a lot about the orcs. Although most orcs have not finished their IQ evolution, there are still some geniuses who are not weaker than humans.

In case it is targeted by the other party, it will become "thousands of miles to give people their heads, and the courtesy is also heavy." ”

Both sides are preparing in a step-by-step manner, and according to the intelligence gathered, it is expected that the battle will break out in twenty days.

Unlike the previous local wars and then all-out wars, the current local wars have been fought in the kingdom, and the follow-up will be a full-scale war.

There will be no changes on the front line in a short period of time, and when all parties are so nervous that they can't do it, Hudson has time to eat melons and watch the show.

Compared with the war between the Alpha Kingdom and the Orc Empire, it is obvious that the anti-French war in the Southern Continent is more eye-catching.

"Attack on the Holy Mountain", this news makes people's blood boil when they think about it.

The Franks have done something that countless kings want to do, but are not capable of.

In order to create opportunities for them, the pace of the offensive of the anti-French coalition forces has slowed down a lot.

It is clear that neither the Holy See nor the Frankish Empire are good goods in the eyes of the nations, and it is better to let them lose both.

In addition to the dignitaries of various countries, there is also a special group that is closely watching this big war.

In Hudson's camp, such an uninvited guest was welcomed at this moment.

"Robert, if you want to test the gods by attacking the Holy Mountain, I'm afraid it's not enough.

The gods don't care about the life or death of a group of believers. In the past years, there has been no shortage of killings in the struggle for the papal throne! ”

Papal battles tend to get out of hand, and this is an inevitable consequence.

Unlike the secular kingship, which is in the form of a law that stipulates the order of succession, the papal succession is much more complicated.

Theoretically, all the cardinals on the Holy Mountain have a chance to inherit the pope, and several high-ranking heads and presiding judges are also strong contenders for the pope.

Historically, there have even been local archbishops who have become popes.

The way to ascend to the throne is very simple - the gods appoint and elect.

The assignment of the gods is very simple, the boss says that whoever is asked to do it, must do it.

However, this is a legendary thing, and the gods have not shown up for the last few thousand years, so naturally the pope will not be appointed.

In this context, elections became the only way for the Pope to be born.

The results of the elections are valid, and the disputes take place before the elections.

"Marshal, if it is a simple infighting among believers, the gods will naturally not care.

But what if an abyssal creature descends on the holy mountain and plagues this sacred place? ”

Listening to Robert's answer, Hudson reaffirmed that the Arcanists were all insane.

In order to pursue the truth, there is really nothing they can't do.

Let the abyssal creatures pollute the holy mountain, if this news spreads, the followers of the Lord of Dawn in the entire continent will have to tear them apart.

After sighing, Hudson had to admit that this move was ruthless enough.

There are so many feng shui treasures in the whole continent, and the Holy See chose to place its base camp on the holy mountain, because the Tao preached by the Lord of the Morning Light here belongs to the face of the gods.

If the Holy Mountain were to be polluted, the faith of the Lord of the Dawn would definitely be affected, which would be much more serious than the establishment of another Holy See.

"Lord Robert, if the gods are really drawn out, what will happen to them?"

Hudson asked with a solemn expression.

He was just curious about the gods, but he didn't want to die.

The Lord of Dawn would just ignore it, and if the gods themselves came, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Marshal, don't worry!

Gods, not as terrible as you think. What's more, the extinction of the gods for thousands of years is not without reason.

According to the messages left by the ancestors, there was a great war in the divine realm thousands of years ago, and the gods also recruited believers from the human world to fight.

If the gods are really omnipotent, why should they recruit believers?

As long as we are stealthy enough, even if the gods descend on the doppelganger, it will be difficult to determine who did it.

As the number one nation of the Terrans, the Franks have far more information in their hands than we do. Since they dared to attack the Holy Mountain, they must have determined that the gods could not interfere.

In the past, we only added a little chaos to the Holy See, and it is not so simple to destroy the Holy See! ”

Robert's explanation did not convince Hudson. It's okay to see the excitement and eat melons, just participate in person.

The two sides have neither a deep feud in blood nor a conflict of core interests, so he can't jump out and pull hatred.

The problem is that everyone else can hide their identities, and Hudson's dragon and bear symbols are too obvious.

As long as you show your face, people will be able to remember it for another twenty years, and hiding is a joke.

Hudson was not convinced, and Robert's plan of action remained. The Arcanists, who have been suppressed by the Holy See for countless years, will not easily let go of this opportunity to fall into the ground.

Maybe it's not just the Arcanist, but the necromancer and lich who were originally beaten into a cult by the Holy See...... will not let go of this opportunity for revenge.

Ordinary people can't participate, but among so many unpopular professions, there will always be a few strong ones.

Hudson had already involuntarily conjured up images of a group of Sanctuaries running to the Holy Mountain to cause trouble for the Holy See.

Vaguely, he had a terrible thought: "The Holy Mountain of Light should not be overturned by these heretical forces, right?" ”

Perhaps the biggest confidence of the Franks who dared to attack the Holy Mountain was not their own elite soldiers, but because they had long expected that someone would help them.

As a top force, the Holy See has only slowly fallen behind in the past decade or so.

Before that, they were majestic, and there were countless "heretics" hunted down by them.

It's okay that these people don't become strong, but once they reach the top, they don't take revenge for being hunted down and killed, which is obviously a bit unreasonable.

How many people from other countries participated, Hudson did not know. Anyway, in the Alpha Kingdom alone, there was a Sacred Domain plus nine Eighth-Order powerhouses who went over to join in the fun.

According to Robert, he was also teamed up with three Sacred Domains in the Five Nations Alliance, as well as some Sacred Domain powerhouses in the Southern Continent.

The exact number has not been determined, but it is clear that they are still pulling teammates. It can be seen that everyone is very cautious in the matter of attacking the Holy See.

All the invitees had a holiday with the Holy See, and even if they did not participate in this anti-Holy See "public welfare activity", no one would go to the whistle.

Seeing off the uninvited guest, Hudson turned his mind back to the Near East. Compared to throwing stones to the Holy See, it is obviously more important to defeat the Orc Empire.

……

At the foot of the holy mountain, flags are already everywhere at this moment. The smell of gunsmoke filled the world, and it was oppressive and suffocating.

As the commander of the army, the Marquis of Sunil looked up at the holy mountain in front of him, turned to look at the passionate speeches of the soldiers of the three armies and said:

"Soldiers, the holy mountain has been defiled!

Today we will wash away this filthy land with our blood and restore the glory of our Lord!

For the sake of glory, for the sake of faith, let us now take up the weapons in our hands and wage war against this group of degenerates who have become heretical!

……”

There is nothing wrong with it, after the Franks established a new papacy, the original Dawn papacy became a "heresy".

A similar operation is also applicable in the G5 alliance. The original Dawn Holy See was labeled as a cult.

The banner of justice was flagged out, and the soldiers, who were still slightly hesitant to attack the holy mountain, were convinced at once.

Now it is not an attack on the Holy Mountain, but a cleansing of the sins of the world and the restoration of the glory and splendor of the gods.

The theoretical basis is ready-made, and the fact that the gods have not appeared in the continent of Aslant for thousands of years is the best evidence of the fall of the Holy See.

No matter how the Holy See explains, it is useless. Believers who have been reversely brainwashed will not believe it at all. The Lord of the Dawn did not manifest this big black cauldron, they reassured.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

…

With a burst of shouts and killings, the offensive and defensive battle of the Holy Mountain officially began. For a time, the sound of artillery fire resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the shouts of killing were endless.

Under the cover of the magic crystal cannon, countless Frankish soldiers carried ladders and launched a fierce attack on the enemy's fortifications.

Bow and arrow, rolling stone, edge wood, gold juice...... All kinds of countermeasures have appeared on the battlefield.

At the time of crisis, the believers who were conscripted into the army showed their true feelings, without the slightest sense of fear, and took up arms and went directly to the battlefield.
