Chapter 379: Ending the War Before the New Year

October 2nd.

The Kingdom of Fenerport launched a general attack on Segar and other countries at any cost, and invested almost all of its forces as if it were going to be decided in a battle.

At the same time, the Republic of Intis finally made up its mind to reneg on its former alliance and launch an attack on countries such as Segall and Lenburg, trying to cooperate with the Kingdom of Fenerport to end the war in the shortest possible time.

October 12th.

The betrayal of the Republic of Intis by the Kingdom of Segall had long been anticipated, but the attack of the Kingdom of Fenerport forced them to draw most of their forces to the front lines of the two countries, which in turn left the rear empty.

In just ten days, Intis attacked several cities in a row. News of the loss of the rear soon reached the front, and the morale of the soldiers in Segal was greatly damaged, and they were crushed by the attack of the Kingdom of Fenerport.

Lemburg was slightly stronger than Segal, but it was also attacked by the main army of Intis as a result, and was under great pressure, and the battle line collapsed several times.

October 15th.

The capital of Segall was breached by the combined forces of the Kingdom of Intis and Fenerport, and the flag of Intis was planted on the roof of the palace of the Segall king.

Intis joined forces with Fenerport and attacked from the west, where Lemburg's defenses were weak.

October 17th.

The Kingdom of Fenerport used a pincer offensive to annihilate the main force of Marcy, and the fortress city of Siegfried fell, exposing the capital to the main force of Fenerport.

October 29th.

The fall of Marcy.

On the same day, the county of West Velas in the Kingdom of Rune fell completely, and Conston was exposed to the combined forces of Intis and Fursak.

November 3rd.

Constance fell, and Grove Augustus, Prince of Sunia, was killed in battle.

November 7.

An important node of the main railway of the Kingdom of Rune, the city of Berdan in the county of Makai fell under the attack of the Fusaks.

At the same time, the Intis army, which had invaded West Villas, invaded Marcy in an attempt to cooperate with the Kingdom of Fenerport to capture it.

November 8th.

King Fersak announced that they would end the war before the New Year and let the Fersak soldiers go home.

December 20th.

Beckland, on the edge of the city.

The thick fog enveloped the battlefield, and the soldiers couldn't even see the target five meters away.

The whining wind swept wildly, tearing at the mist, bringing a clear vision from time to time, but it was quickly filled with a rushing white.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The roar of artillery broke through the sky, and shells of different lights whizzed through the fog and smashed into the positions of the Fusaks.

In a makeshift command post built by Rune.

Grand Giorgina was telling the crowd at the conference table about the current situation, and Alfred Hall was among them, looking extremely tired.

Three months earlier, his Constance line had repelled wave after wave of Fursak attacks.

And as time passed, they gradually identified the mysterious organization that constantly assassinated the commander of the Fusaks, the Tarot Order, or the Church of the Fool.

With the help of this unexpected friendly force, the Fossacks became intimidating in attack, and each attack had to ensure that their manager was protected by at least two demigods, which greatly reduced the pressure on Alfred's defence.

At that time, Alfred was very confident that he could hold off the Fusaks at Constance for at least a year.

But the good times didn't last long.

Three months ago, the Fursaks, the Intis, and even the Fenerporters, they were like crazy, and suddenly launched a fierce attack on Rune and other countries at any cost!

As a result, the Three Kingdoms paid a far more painful price than the Kingdom of Rune, but also won a major victory in the war as a result-

Segal and Marcy have fallen, and Lenburg can only survive under the attack of Intis and Fenerport. The Hornachis and Mahai defenses of the Kingdom of Rune completely collapsed, West Velas County and Mahai County completely fell, and the combined forces of Intis and Fursac went all the way to Ahowa County and reached the outskirts of Beckland.

This forced St. Anthony and other demigods of the Night Church, the Storm Church, the royal family, and the military to personally intervene and jointly build the last line of defense of Beckland:

Once this line of defense is also breached......

Alfred's eyes immediately darkened a little.

Since the outbreak of the all-out war, Fersak has had three invasion routes, one is to attack the Amanda Mountains on the border and try to break through the land defense line there, one is to attack the coastal ports from Sunia Island and try to land, and the other is to start at the Sea and invade Beckland along the main railway.

Due to the existence of the Church of the Storm, and the power of the ironclad ships to cooperate with the high-ranking 'arbiters', the navies of Fursack and Fenerport were never able to achieve the desired results, and even failed to control the sea dominance.

On the battlefield of the Amanda Mountains, the headquarters of the Church of the Night has blocked wave after wave of attacks, and has not yet fallen, saving Wintershire, East Chester County and other places from the baptism of war.

But as long as Jianhai County falls, no matter how tightly the defense of these two places is done, no matter how impenetrable it is, it will make no sense!

As it is now, if Beckland falls, the resistance of the Night Church and the Storm Church will lose all meaning.

Alfred licked his parched lips, he really didn't understand why the Fursacks were so crazy.

In terms of casualty figures alone, the casualties of the Vorsacks and Intis were five times as high!

And the casualties of those demigods are also more than three times that of Rune-

Since the outbreak of the war, countries have cultivated a large number of demigods as a supplement to their combat power.

Three months ago, that number peaked.

At that time, there were more than eighty demigods who belonged to the Kingdom of Rune alone.

Half of them came from the Church of the Storm and the Church of the Night, and the remaining half were cultivated by the royal family and the various nobles.

And compared to them, the number of demigods of the Fersaks is about seventy, and the number of demigods of the Indis is also more than eighty.

Although against any country alone, Rune has an absolute advantage. But in the face of the simultaneous attack of the two countries, Rune still has a huge disadvantage.

And in the past three months, there have been forty-two demigods who have fallen from the Vorsaks, and twenty-one demigods who have fallen from the Indis!

In comparison, there were only thirty demigods who had fallen in the Kingdom of Rune.

Of course, this is only the case in Makai County, where the fighting is most intense. In contrast, the battle between the Sunia Sea and the Amanda Mountains was not as fierce, and there were only a handful of fallen demigods.

With a 1:2 exchange ratio, the situation seems to be more favorable to the kingdom of Rune.

However, even after the fall of sixty-three demigods, Fersak and Intis still have more than ninety demigods.

In contrast, there were only about fifty demigods left in the Rune Kingdom.

And as the battle line continues to advance, the number of these demigods is becoming more and more stretched.

Because even if the enemy has reached Bakeland, the Amanda Mountains and the Sunia Sea still cannot be easily abandoned. In order to defend the island of Passu, the Church of Storm has gathered more than ten demigods, and the defense line of the Amanda Mountains also needs more than twenty demigods to stabilize the battle line.

As a result, there are less than twenty demigods left to defend Beckland.

Although the combined forces of Fersak and Intis also need to invest nearly thirty demigods in the war in the Amanda Mountains and the Sunia Sea, and Intis also needs to send more than a dozen demigods to the attack on Lemburg and others, they can still take out nearly sixty demigods to attack Beckland.

In other words, each of them will have to face three times as many enemies as themselves!

And this is the result of the Kingdom of Rune completely abandoning the defenses of Marcy and Dicsi, and transferring all the demigods in the south to Beckland. Otherwise, there will only be less than ten demigods who can appear here now!

Listening to the situation described by the Grand Duchess Georgina, the hearts of all present became extremely heavy, and the imminent crisis weighed on their hearts like a mountain, weighing them down.

Admiral Emilius asked in a deep voice:

"What about the Church of Fools? Can we ask for their help? ”

Alfred looked at the Minister of Defense, his left arm empty, which he had lost while fighting the Silver Knights of the Fusaks while at Conston.

And he knew what Emilius was expecting.

In the battle of Makai County, the reason why Intis and Fusak were able to suffer heavy losses when the number of demigods was close to twice that of the Kingdom of Rune and had the absolute upper hand, was inseparable from the help of the Church of Fools.

Of the sixty-seven demigods who fell to Fursack and Intis, at least forty-seven were the work of the Church of the Fool!

Because according to intelligence, there are at least twenty-three demigods in the Church of the Fool. And among these demigods, there are a large number of 'arcane mages', who are elusive every time they move, and use 'teleportation' to suddenly appear behind the enemy.

These demigods never take the enemy lightly, and often more than a dozen demigods attack together, and their targets are only three at most.

With the double crushing of quantity and quality, it is naturally invincible.

But even with the help of the Church of Fools, it still can't undo the disadvantage of Rune's side.

Archduchess Georgina was silent for a long time, and said with difficulty:

"It's difficult, we can't contact the Church of the Fools, and the ships sent to Baiam can't dock in the harbor there. And,"

Georgina paused slightly, looked around, and her expression became more and more bitter:

"Since half a month ago, the Church of Fools has stopped its actions and no longer attacks the demigods of Fursack and Intis. They seem to ...... Ran into some trouble and had a hard time getting out. ”

The hearts of Alfred and the others sank again, and they ran into some trouble? What more trouble could there be?

Judging from the current situation, it is clear that the Church of Fools has almost abandoned the Rune Kingdom, and it is even possible that they have secretly reached cooperation with forces such as the Church of the God of War and the Church of the Eternal Sun, and agreed to replace the Church of the Night and the Church of the Storm after the war!

In such a situation, it is clearly unrealistic to count on the help of the Church of Fools.

But if they can't count on the Church of the Fool, who else can they count on?

Their ally, Segal, had been destroyed, and most of Marcy's territory had fallen under Fenerport's attack, leaving Lemberg struggling. Who else can they count on to help them?

An old man in a black robe embroidered with a storm symbol asked in a deep voice:

"What about the Bloodline?"

Georgina looked at the old man, who was wearing a black soft hat and his silver eyes were unusually serious.

He is the former archbishop of the Storm Church in the diocese of Beckland, 'Singer of God' Ace Snake. Although he was previously transferred due to dereliction of duty, at this critical moment, he was once again transferred back to assist in the defense.

Georgina shook her head and said with a wry smile:

"The Bloodlines didn't respond, even though we had promised enough benefits, but for these Bloods, none of the promises we made would impress them."

After all, the Kingdom of Rune is about to be destroyed, so what's the point of their promised benefits?

By the time Beckland was contributed, all the promises they made were destined to be empty promises that could not be kept.

At this moment, almost everyone's mood fell to the bottom, and their hearts were full of despair.

They had no intention of surrendering, but they also saw no hope of victory.

Archbishop St. Anthony spoke slowly:

"We still have a chance."

Archduchess Georgina hurriedly asked:

"What chance?"

In the current situation, she was unwilling to give up any hope of possibility.

Archbishop St. Anthony looked at several people and slowly spit out a word:

"God War."

Alfred and the others' faces changed slightly, and God War, this used to be an incomparably distant word.

Because the Seven Gods have feuds, they have never clashed head-on, and believers have exercised restraint among themselves - such as the Church of the Storm, although they have always treated the followers of the Eternal Sun as heretics, but at least they will not go to the Indisis Republic to purify these heretics.

But now.

With the fall of the kingdom of Rune imminent, the war of the gods no longer seems so far away.

Because once the Kingdom of Rune falls, the Night Church and the Storm Church are not destined to be left alone.

The war of the gods is the final result and their only option.

And this means that there is destined to be a complete fall of the gods of one side!

And as long as Rune's side wins the God War, it can naturally turn the tide of the war and win this war.

But the question is, can the goddess of the night really be the opponent of the god of war?

After all, God of War is never alone!

Archbishop St. Anthony said in a deep voice:

"We just need to defend this place, hold Beckland!"

"As long as Beckland remains, no matter how much land is lost, we still have hope!"

"Defend this city, it's the only thing we can do for the goddess!"

He firmly believes that the goddess will definitely bring them miracles!

Alfred was silent for a long time, drew a crimson moon on his chest, and said in a low voice:

"Praise be to you, goddess of the night."

As Archbishop St. Anthony said, they can't decide anything, the only thing they can do is believe.

I believe that the goddess can win this divine war, even if the chances are slim.
