The entire line of the Fanos Alliance Army retreated to the difficult bank of the Fanshui River, all the dikes were demolished, and the offensive and defensive battle with Fangang City as the strategic goal came to an end!

Knocked out the front teeth and had to swallow it in the stomach with blood!

There are many high-ranking officers of the Phanos Alliance Army, and they can't find their graves if they want to cry, so they can't kneel under the city of Fangang and cry.

The fierceness of the attack and defense of Van Gang City was a nightmare for the Fanos Alliance Army!

Ten days, just ten days, the morale of the Phanos Alliance army was extremely low. Every night, at the meeting of the commanders of the siege troops who confirmed that they would participate in the siege on the next day, every Holy See legion leader trembled with nervousness, and his face instantly turned dead gray when he heard that his legion was named. After the meeting was adjourned, most of the regimental commanders who had been named did not dare to return to the camp for fear that the revelation would trigger a mass increase in soldiers*.

On the fourth day of the siege battle, more than a dozen legions of the Holy See deserted one after another.

At the beginning, Norton also sent a knight unit to search for deserters, and later, the soldiers also fled, and the generals also ran, and the people saw that the posture was not right, and they were afraid that they would secretly send the people to participate in the siege war in the future, so they sent out to search for the knight team and even the entire team became deserters. On the worst night, the total number of deserters was 5,982...... In other words, the entire Western Emperor Monarch Huayu Plain War Cluster does not need to be moved by the Chi Aotian Expeditionary Force at all, and there will be no one left in just three months.

At the same time, the Desert Empire was frequently mobilizing its legions and organizing two night raids in a row, which put a lot of pressure on the Eastern Front Corps.

In the end, His Majesty the Pope had to agree to the proposal of the Phanos Double Shield to suspend the siege.

Fanos also gave the city of Fangang time to survive - in the past 10 days, the expeditionary force had also suffered heavy casualties, even more than the Allied Phanos army: the regular army had lost 7,953 casualties, and the civilians sent to the city walls to assist in the defense had lost more than 12,000 due to the lack of effective armor, and the remaining 30% had lost their ability to fight.

In the last two days of the offensive and defensive battle, all the knights' troops, including the sand lizard and the earthly dragon, climbed the city wall. In order to prevent the enemy from attacking the city through tunnels, two large circular pits were dug along the city wall, and the soil in the pits was carried down by night with ropes outside the city wall, and the old armor was pulled off from the dead bodies, and the earth was wrapped in the worn armor and sent to the city wall as a stone.

According to Tayan's statement: at the end of the battle, if there is really no defensive weapon, then the corpse of the city should be pulled up, the fat should be removed, and then the fire should be thrown down to burn the city under the city wall. The person who came up with the idea was very arrogant and didn't care, but he startled Elder Lola, who had just dealt with him for a long time...... Is this guy really a priest? Why don't you see the slightest mercy in him?

The only good news for the expeditionary force is that the Vulture Swordsman Battalion has been dispatched frequently recently, and has captured a large number of deserters for His Excellency General Fei, and the deserters have a clear understanding of the current situation of the Phanos Alliance army in the mouths of the deserters. There is no way to know that among the deserters caught, there are two thousand commanders and more than ten hundred commanders.

The double-digit testimonies say only one thing: there will be no more sieges for at least the next two months.

When the highest group of officers of the expeditionary force heard the news, they all lost their temper - several of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. In addition to Tayan, Tayan jumped up and expressed serious regret over the withdrawal of Fanos - in Qu Jianhong's words, it was a thin donkey pulling hard, and this man was ...... After studying well for three years and learning badly for three days, he is often with Ta Yang, and Qu Jianhong is now scolding people one by one.

Chang Qing, who has also been with Ta Yang for more than half a year, scoffed at Qu Jianhong's performance, even if he wants to learn badly, he can't take Ta Yang as a teacher, Ta Yang's bad is too naked, not to mention people, a dog knows that Ta Yang is not a good person at a glance. Well...... What if a dog saw His Excellency Chi Hanfeng? Chang Qing really couldn't guess what the outcome would be. However, Chang Qing confirmed that if the same dog met Amy...... Hey......

The Fanos army withdrew, and the city of Fangang was completely repaired, clearing the river, burying entities, strengthening the city walls, and sending out rangers everywhere to find a place where they could cross the Fanshui lightly, and the general leader of these things was General Suwen. Chi Aotian, Ta Yang, Qu Jianhong, and other high-ranking officers were busy preparing to receive the arrival of the distinguished guest, Adam Ping, the chief priest of Zoroastrianism.

Originally, with the relationship between Chi Aotian, Qu Jianhong, and especially Ta Yang, who were half-teachers and half-friends with the chief priest, there was no need to make things so grand, but considering that more than half of the army of the expeditionary force was now composed of the "Holy Desert Empire People's Volunteer Army" (at this point, the Zoroastrians and the imperial royal family reached a consensus), if the Great Priest was neglected, there might be some negative impact.

That's what religion is all about, if you don't take him seriously, he's a big thing, and if you take him seriously, it's a big thing. It can be big or small, it varies from person to person, it is also a fart and a sky, a fart is not a sky, and there is no semicolon in the world except for religion.

Of course, there are a lot of other things going on in the hustle and bustle.

The identities of the Skeleton Warriors have been laid out one by one - not just the identities of the three high-ranking skeleton officers, but also all the other skeleton warriors and junior officers. Chi Aotian sent two vulture elf knights to the Boundary Forest War Zone, and obtained the transfer order from the Northern Federation, the military roster, and even the military flags of the three brigades sent from Hamburg City. For this, the ice and snow boys of the Vulture Swordsman Camp shed tears without a penchant.

Eventually, the three Northern Union Brigades were able to revert to their formation - the same number of soldiers, but ...... Things are not people, everything is rest, and tears flow first.

The Skeleton Legion set up its camp 300 meters north of the city of Van Gang as a silent order from three senior officers. No one will be persuaded to stay in the city of Fangang. Chi Aotian, Chang Qing, and especially Su Wen, a veteran of the Northern Federation, didn't understand why, Su Wen was about to kneel down for his captain, and the result was ...... No way!

Later, it was Ta Yang who broke the heavens: This is normal, except for the close relatives of the small mercenary group, who else in the world can accept the skeletons walking around in the city every day? In addition to a great priest like Lao Tzu, what other church pastor can affectionately hug the neck of the skeleton and communicate? Don't you know what the character of the forest elves is? Can Zoroastrianism tolerate such a mark in the history of religion?

The answer is no.

Therefore, the Skeleton Legion will definitely not be stationed in the city of Van Gon, and in the future, if the war goes well, they may be the first to leave this war, which is normal. Speaking of this, the old pastor's eyes showed a taste of soo: "Coming is like flowing water, passing away like the wind, drifting into the world, like water has to flow, and I don't know where it ends for some reason." ”

Elder Lola was also present, and did not refute the Zoroastrian claims, apparently acquiescing. When he heard Tayan's last words, Elder Lola trembled in shock (to put it mildly, it was a shock to the tiger's body), grandma, this guy is too outrageous, and he is so familiar with Manichaeism, a branch of Zoroastrianism.

As a senior elder of Zoroastrianism, Lola certainly knew that this was the most earthly sentence in the "Rubai Collection" left by the sage Gumo. Manichaeism is a church that rose rapidly in the night sky like a meteor more than 6,000 years ago and fell rapidly, and the "Rubai" did not have time to be printed and distributed, Manichaeism has declined, and the only rare book is currently enshrined in the Zoroastrian altar.

Another thing has to do with Tayan.

Su Wen, the deputy commander of the expeditionary force, the Zoroastrian elder Lola, the captain of the vulture elf knights of the expeditionary force, Qingluo, and the prime minister of the desert empire, Hussein, asked Tayan about a question at different times: "How is the rocket launched made? How is it so powerful?"

At first, Tayan didn't pay much attention to it, grinning and saying he didn't know, regardless of what others asked. The last two high-ranking officers who went to ask this question were unlucky, and were driven out of the big tent by Tayan wielding a sharp-mouthed war hammer, and the roar of the black-robed priest resounded in the sky above the city of Fangang: "Lao Tzu just won't tell you, this secret Lao Tzu will take it to climb the chimney." ”

Damn, if you don't tell you, you won't tell, and you're still climbing chimneys, what are you doing climbing chimneys? The two senior officers didn't figure it out.

With the lessons of the past, Qu Jianhong certainly would not suffer such a big loss again, and when he visited Tayang, he played a marginal ball: why did he choose the allies to shoot Tayang rockets, instead of the people of the Desert Empire?

Tayan pondered for a moment, and finally said a human saying: "Do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you." ”

Half a year later, when Amy heard this incident and this sentence, she said two words in a low voice: "It's a pity ......" Daqingshan understood what Amy meant, Tayan's approach was exactly the same as Amy's practice in the dwarf kingdom at that time, if so, the notorious Tayan Priest turned out to be a soft-hearted guy?

......

On January 7, the spring of the 7th year of the Magic Calendar, His Highness Adam Ping, the current chief priest of the Zoroastrian Sect, arrived in Van Gang City with ten great elders.

Chi Aotian led all the senior officers of the expeditionary force to meet him for more than 20 miles, and in addition to Chi Aotian, the other two dragon knights and hundreds of vulture knights pulled the cordon to 10 miles.

In contrast to the expeditionary force, the Phanos camp did not know what was going on here, and the four dragon knights all rose into the air and waited for it.

In addition to more than 600 Zoroastrian clergy and two brigade-sized Zoroastrian legions, there were also three escort brigades sent by His Majesty the King, with a total of more than 20,000 mark. There were more than 40 sand lizard phantom beast knights soaring in the sky, and nearly 100 ordinary sand lizard knights led the sand lizard to jump up from time to time to inspect the suspicious targets around.

After the flame of the Zoroastrian altar was extinguished, the chief priest went out on tour for the first time in nearly 300 years. In the past dynasties, the scale is relatively small. His Majesty the King also brought 15,000 guards and 2,000 guards of honor with him on patrol, and the status of the chief priest was not a little higher than that of the king.

If it weren't for the fact that before leaving, Tayang, the Near-God Nearer, repeatedly told him that he must rush to Fangang City before January 15, the 7th year of the magic calendar, otherwise, he would have waited for the dragon to raise his head on February 2 in the spring and collect the corpse of the expeditionary force. Without Tayan's words, the royal family and the high-ranking clergy of the Zoroastrian altar would not have agreed to the chief priest going out lightly in the enemy country.

No one understands why Tayan would say this, but everyone knows one thing: Tayan rarely takes things so solemnly, and it may be useless to listen to them...... Hey...... Is it true that someone deliberately stalled and waited to collect the body?

His Royal Highness the Chief Priest did not expect that after only more than two months of breaking up, the Chi Aotian Expeditionary Force would be like a blow, and its strength would skyrocket again, and two dragon knights of his own side had been added to the sky. If these two dragon knights can appear in the city of Mumbai, their own teachers ......

"General Chi and Grand Priest, these two dragon knights are newly sent by your country to support your department, right?"

Before Chi Aotian could react, Ta Yang knew that he had been provoked: "Yes, the two of them just arrived here three weeks ago. Redstone successfully sealed the dragon in the Messis Snow Mountain, sealing 15 dragon knights, so he specially sent two dragon knights to the Flower Language Plain. ”

When Tayan said this, his tone was as flat as possible. Even so, the eyes of the Zoroastrian clergy and the high-ranking officers of the Desert Empire were green. The strength of this cross-continent number one power is really not covered, canonized 15 dragon knights in one go, add the dragon knights of all other empires together and then multiply by 2, which is probably this number.

Even more amazing, of course, were waiting for the guests in the back, Ta Yang and the other guests all took in the cold air, and slowly and softly announced the second news: "Speaking of which, we really have a fate, does His Highness the High Priest know why the Zoroastrian flame has been extinguished for a whole thousand years?

Ahh

One by one, the clergy were stupid and could only mumble to themselves. The status of the black-robed priest in Zoroastrianism has risen rapidly, and it is already equivalent to His Royal Highness the High Priest.

Adam Ping was in a hurry, his lips twitching, and he grabbed Tayan's arm.

"Or it's fate. His Highness the Fire God ...... thousands of years ago" Ta Yang broke away from the hand of the great priest, clasped his nostrils, and hung the appetite of Zoroastrian believers for a long time, before continuing in a very ordinary tone: "Entrusted by His Highness the Father, trapped in the underground lava of the Messis Snow Mountain, last fall, Miss Sha Ruo, the fiancée of His Highness the Divine Dragon Knight Da Qingshan, one of the two founders of the Little Mercenary Group, and His Royal Highness Horns, the third deputy head of the Little Mercenary Group, rescued His Majesty the Fire God trapped underground. In order to thank Miss Sha Ruo, His Highness the Fire God also specially invited her to go to the Divine Realm outside the Nine Heavens, and personally gave Miss Sha Ruo the ability of the only god in the Huo De Star Palace. ”

"What?!" As soon as this news came out, the city of Fangang suddenly became more lively than the free market! Why are the great religions able to gain millions of followers, and why are there countless kingdoms willing to support them? Isn't it because religion worships the gods? Isn't it because religion claims to represent the gods?

Other religions may not know what a god-man is, Zoroastrianism, as one of the oldest religions, has had several god-men in history, and these gods have left an extremely deep imprint in the history of Zoroastrianism, such as Zoroas, the founder of Zoroastrianism, is the first god-man in the history of the record, it is not an exaggeration to say: it is the gods who created the glorious history of Zoroastrianism. Later, the vast majority of gods ended up being gods - entering the Huode Star Palace.

What worries the fire priests is: strictly speaking, since she is out of the fire star palace gods, unless she is willing to set up her own door, otherwise, the current high priest will have to immediately abdicate the throne and carefully slap the seat clean.

"Hehe...... Tayan let out a chattering chuckle again: "Don't worry, Miss Sharuo's biggest wish now is to end the war and teach her husband and children." She wouldn't be interested in the Sect Master, the Pope, or anything. Otherwise, the flame of the Zoroastrian altar might not have burned. Break first and then stand...... Since it is not broken, it means that His Highness the Fire God still trusts Zoroastrianism and His Highness the Great Priest, so there is no need to worry about making trouble and messing up his own position. As he said this, Tayan's gaze swept meaningfully over all the Zoroastrian elders.

"His Highness Tayan is wise. ”

"His Royal Highness Tayang will enjoy eternal immortal blessings, and his longevity will be the same as that of heaven. ”

...... A word of praise immediately fell into the black-robed high priest's flutter - at least it seemed so.

His Royal Highness the Chief Priest does not have as many eyes as the elders below, for a young man in his 10s, this burden is too heavy now, if there is a god who can be recognized by the Huode Star Palace, the young man will not be happy.

"Major General Chi, His Highness Ta Yang, I asked the Dragon Knight just now, you misunderstood what I meant. I can see that the mount dragon of one of the two dragon knights just now seems to have undergone a mutation, while the mount dragon of the other dragon knight seems to be a young golden dragon who has just entered the fourth order. Really?"

"You have a very good eye. Lingyun Kid's mount dragon has undergone a very strange change in the Sealed Dragon, and it seems to be ...... There are several different high-ranking divine dragons whose dragon power has entered its body, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. Tayan dealt casually.

The young priest subconsciously scratched the hair on the back of his head, and randomly realized that this posture was no less than that, so he hurriedly put his hand down, his face seemed to be red, and then said to Ta Yang and Chi Aotian in a smaller voice: "Actually, I want to say...... If you will...... If that dragon knight is willing, I recently checked all kinds of information in the main altar and learned a way, using the holy fire given to us by His Highness the Fire God, there is a way to improve the dragon's ability in one fell swoop, even the level. ”

What? Chi Aotian was stunned, there was such a thing?

"But...... But...... It must be a golden dragon, because fire can only be alchemist......" Adam Ping added in a whisper.
