With the fall of the lava fire dragon, the wizards on the airship breathed a sigh of relief, and solved this big trouble, and they were finally safe.

As for the griffin knights of the Holy See, they were even more vulnerable under the attack of several fighter planes, and they kept falling from the sky like dumplings.

Also seeing this scene were the bishops on the ground, seeing the powerful fire dragon summoned by the Holy Maiden being beheaded in an instant, and the griffin knights being beaten without the power to fight back, Gu was shocked and angry, but helpless.

Most importantly, under the darkness of the night and polarizing magic, they couldn't see how the griffon knights had been killed.

"Lord Joshua, Your Majesty, or we should withdraw our troops first." A cardinal cautiously spoke out of consolation.

Without the fire dragon, the Griffin Knights have also suffered heavy losses, and they can be said to have lost a mess in the air battle, which also means that they have lost the power to restrain the air airship, so the next battle will need to face the threat from the air at all times.

You may even fall into the same dilemma as you did when you fought in the Sea of Mist, being chased and beaten all the time.

However, before Lucia could reply, the proposal was strongly opposed by the bishops.

"You mean to give up the weapons of the empire and sit back and watch the demonic minions slaughter the Lord's people?"

"It will never be tolerated, this is a shame!"

The bishops were arguing, and in the sky, a griffin swept by a cannon fell towards it.

Lucia ignored the bishops' arguments, stretched out her hand, and a soft divine light appeared, and the griffin that fell to the ground slowed down and slowed down, and finally fell smoothly to the ground.

The poor griffon, with half of its wings broken, let out a whining sound and was slightly conscious.

The knight above was even beaten into a sieve by the machine gun, and the corpse flew somewhere.

【God's Rain】

Lucia stroked the griffon's head, and the mist containing the brilliance of magic immediately enveloped the broken body, and the body pierced by the machine cannon recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the broken wings grew back.

The recovered griffon did not seem to be able to recover from its fear, and from time to time it hissed......

Lucia flung her voluminous robe and sat down on the beast's back, suppressing the griffin's fears with her magic skills.

The bishops did not care about arguing at the moment, and looked at the Holy Maiden in disbelief.

"Lucia-sama, you don't want to go into battle yourself, do you?"

"It's too dangerous, and I'm afraid you won't be able to do anything on your own." A cardinal spoke eagerly to stop.

Although the powerful power shown by Lucia when she summoned and enslaved the fire dragon before made them have a great change in their perception of this holy woman, they still do not approve of the other party's move to venture alone.

After all, the Holy Maiden represents the face of the Holy See and is the attendant of God, and must not be easily suspected.

Not to mention that after being elected, Lucia has been pampered in the Holy City, and she has no combat experience at all, even if she is strong, she may not be able to exert herself!

While they were dissuading, the bishops turned to Joshua, hoping that the inquisitor would stop Lucia's recklessness.

Joshua, however, did not do what they had hoped, but respectfully asked. "Is there anything we need to do? Under the crown? ”

Lucia glanced at the airships that had dispersed in the sky again, and then said categorically. "You take some men and return to the City of Oil!"

"There are so few of them!" Lucia muttered.

As the words fell, the rested griffin spread its wings and flew into the sky, the dust that kicked up made the dozen bishops frown, but what confused them even more was Lucia's words.

Back to the City of Oil? Is it the meaning of letting them retreat first?

Or will some of the people evacuate first?

"Do it!" Without the slightest hesitation, Joshua looked at the bishops and commanded directly. "I'll lead a group of Divine Punishment Knights to the City of Fire Oil immediately, Ragnar, and you'll be in charge of the next command!"

"But, the judge......," Cardinal Ragnar hesitated, for such a chaotic and irrational order, could they still obey it?

The rest of the bishops were also extremely dissatisfied, thinking that it was just Lucia, who had no experience in war, relying on her noble status and commanding indiscriminately.

Amid the crowd of doubts, Joshua spoke slowly. "Her Majesty has received divine revelation, and her instructions are the will of the Lord!"

Ragnar and the others immediately shut up, because they understood that the Judge would never be able to joke about it!

After a few words, Joshua took three thousand Divine Punishment Knights and set out for the city of fireoil......

At the same moment, the Divine Punishment Knights who had gone to find and treat the wounded also turned back one after another.

The griffin knights who were hit by lasers and cannons, and who fell from the sky, were basically dead, and the airships shot down by the flames were no exception, and not even a single living mouth was found.

Ragnar's heart moved, and he suddenly asked. "Have the airships been checked? How many bodies are on it? ”

"Probably less than twenty!" The knight replied hesitantly, most airships were almost burned by the scorching dragon's breath before they crashed, and the corpses were completely unpresent, but certainly not more than that......

"Only twenty?!" Ragnar's pupils shrank, and a chill ran through his heart, and he immediately realized something they had been ignoring.

They saw only a hundred airships, and according to previous speculations, the wizards' army numbered about 8,000 after that battle, not counting the subsequent reinforcements.

In other words, each airship had to be loaded with seventy or eighty people, and it had to carry those heavy new weapons......

This will never be possible!

Not only Ragnar, but also the bishops quickly reacted, and immediately understood why Her Majesty suddenly asked them to send men to support the city of oil!

Since the main force of the wizards was not here at all, it was likely that they were still stuck in the town, just creating the illusion that they had evacuated, and let everyone go after the airship......

Realizing this, Ragnar's forehead suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

With the very important oil field on one side and the fortresses and fortified cities in the western part of the empire on the other, what is the real goal of those wizards?
