Chapter 37: Reversal of Attack and Defense
Melodious chants resounded above the church, intertwining with the chaotic scene in the harbor town, which was particularly eerie.
In the midst of it, Adrian seemed to be cleansed in the hymn and remembered the teachings of the Bible.
Life and death don't matter, everywhere is the Lord's pasture, and these sacrificial townspeople are just returning to the Lord's arms in advance.
After the chant, Ansulk looked around at the crowd and whispered.
"The great eternal god [Ella] will be with you and me!"
Perhaps the archbishop's words have made a difference, or perhaps the light of [Ella] has sprinkled on this border town, and outside the church, the chaotic scene is quickly subsiding.
Rather surprised, Amsulek walked to the window and stared condescendingly at the northwest side of Harbour Town, where the fire that had burned over the granary had been extinguished, and the townspeople were being taken out of the fighting area in an orderly manner.
He couldn't see the figures of the two wizard apprentices directly, but based on the trajectory of the gray crows in the sky, Amsuk quickly judged that the two were in a difficult situation and were being driven all the way out of the crowded area.
What seems to be the end of the route at the docks of Seaport Town?
"Who is in charge of the command at the front now?" Amsuk asked in surprise.
"It's supposed to be Danny and Pastor Albert." Yad'an replied.
The archbishop thought about the behavior of the two priests on a daily basis, he didn't remember that the other party had such excellent command skills, could it be the judgment made by some captain of the guard in Harbor Town?
Thinking of this, Ansuk couldn't help but think about Aicai, so he asked the guards guarding the door to go and ask.
Three or two minutes later, a guard pushed the door and walked in, glanced vaguely at Yadean on the side, and responded with a strange expression.
"Back to the Bishop, according to the militia in charge of the evacuation, it is now ......"
"It's Pastor Yad'an's order!"
Hearing this, everyone present looked at Yadean, who was also confused, he had been in the church all the time and had never gone out.
Ansik's face immediately turned ugly, he had not encountered wizards who were proficient in shaping magic in the more than ten years that Nordland had been bishops, and he knew very well how much chaos these people could cause.
Under the questioning gaze of everyone, Yadean looked a little flustered, and couldn't help but take a step back, but quickly reacted, and stretched out his hand to cast a ring of divine magic [Holy Word: Shield]!
Seeing the holy shield emitting divine brilliance condense in the void, the priests present immediately dispelled the doubts in their hearts.
But then a chill rushed from the soles of the feet to the brain.
Since Yadean is really here, who is the person in charge of the front line now?
……
The commanders of the priest's hearts were sitting in a makeshift base in the northern part of Harbour Town, sipping tea and listening to the reports of their 'subordinates'.
"Lord Adrian, according to your orders, the improvised militia is already evacuating the townspeople, and it won't be long before an open area is cleared, and the fire in the granary has been controlled, and the isolation method you taught is very effective......
Pastor Danny spoke very quickly about the current situation in Harbor Town, looking at Lynn with admiration in his eyes.
Those damned devil believers set fires everywhere, wandered through the dense alleys, and burned down the granaries, making them miserable.
Bishop Ansulf had only sent them a garrison of 800 men, who were responsible for rounding up the two witches, evacuating the townspeople, and extinguishing the fire.
After several requests to mobilize the elite guards were rejected by Ann Sulfur, Danny was able to keep pumping out the people who were originally used to fight fires and rescue the townspeople, and hunt down the devil's followers, so that they would not escape.
However, this chaotic situation was changed immediately after the arrival of Lord 'Adrian'.
First, he commanded them to use magic to pacify a group of fleeing townspeople, forcibly draw strong men from them, and then disperse a small group of regular troops as commanders to form a temporary militia guard, which instantly expanded the available manpower several times.
These untrained militias are feared to collapse at the touch of a button if they are used in combat, but the work of firefighting and rescue is barely competent.
The isolation method and the sand and soil fire extinguishing method mentioned by the other party are also very effective......
Thinking of this, Pastor Danny was a little ashamed, and he had complained that Bishop Ansulf had given him too few men, which was simply not enough to deal with the complicated situation.
Now he doesn't think so, because 'Yadean', who has the same resources in his hand, has easily quelled the chaos.
It can only be said that he is worthy of Lord 'Adrian', the right and left hand of the bishop!
Lynn, who was sitting in the chair, listened to the pastor's words with a smile and spoke appreciatively. "You've done a great job, Pastor Danny, and after tonight, I'll commend Lord Amsek for your merits."
"Thank you, Lord Adean, for doing what little things I can, and it's all thanks to you!" Pastor Danny replied excitedly.
Lynn waved her hand, skipped the topic, and asked instead. "Okay, let's not talk about these things for now, have you conveyed all the instructions I gave you before?"
Danny nodded, according to Master Ardean's plan, all they had to do now was force the two witches into the open area of the harbor docks, where the Holy See had already ambushed thousands of crossbowmen, and when the time came, a salvo could turn them into hedgehogs.
Doing so minimizes casualties.
Given the excellent command of 'Yadean' before, Danny did not have the slightest doubt about this plan.
"So, Danny, your mission is perfectly accomplished." Lynn stood up, patted his right hand on Danny's shoulder, and said with emotion. "It's time to send you to Pastor Albert!"
Albert? What happened to him?
Danny paused, and before he could comprehend, a dazzling silver light slashed across his neck, red blood gushing from the wound, and the young priest clutched his open neck, his face full of disbelief, and then fell to the ground heavily.
Lynn looked at the corpse in front of him, shook his head helplessly, picked up the rags on the table, and wiped the mottled blood stains on the dagger.
At this point, he had dealt with all the two minions that Ansulk had sent out to fish, but there was not much joy on Lynn's face.
After all, his opponent is not a fool, and he uses Adean's identity to give orders, but he is afraid that he will soon be noticed by Ansuk, and judge that he has the ability to disguise himself as someone else.
Fortunately, this is exactly what Lynn wants to achieve!
Because ordinary priests simply can't crack this magic, then Ansulk ...... You can only end up in person!
Despite the 180-degree bend, Lynn finally used the enemy's power to lure out the archbishop and relocate the rest of the battlefield back to the docks of Harbor Town!
