With the news of the opening of the church, the entire city of glory was plunged into an atmosphere of slaughter.

The soldiers and the little lords were all expressionless and hurried, for they knew that the Church had come two or three times as many times as they were.

In the chamber of the palace, Gervais once again convened a pre-war meeting, where all the counts and legion commanders gathered.

"The church has been opened! I'll be there this evening! This time is our life-and-death battle with the church! ”

Gervais had a serious face, and he already had the momentum of the lord of a country when he sat on the main seat.

"Lord of the North!"

"Your Majesty, what do you command!"

"From now on, you are responsible for picketing again in the city, and you must find out the spies hidden in the city, and I hope you can give me a result before dinner!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The lord of the north did not say anything more, but respectfully responded.

The Church has been plotting the three principalities for so many years, and naturally there are many spies in the Principality of Jean.

A few days ago, there were three cases of sabotage by church spies in the City of Glory, one was arson to set food on fire, and the other was to do it at the blacksmith shop that forged cannons and muskets.

Fortunately, because Gervais had already ordered several counts to take more precautions, the losses were reduced.

However, there are still some spies in the city at the moment, and Gervais is worried that those spies will take the opportunity to cause chaos when the church attacks, so he must let the Lord of the North take someone to check it out.

"Alice! Wait a minute, give the order, and let the soldiers start carrying the rolling stones and timber to the city walls! ”

"Okay, Gervais!"

Alice also nodded yes, her status as queen was there, and Gervais had also explained, so she didn't need to call Gervais His Majesty.

"Very well, the others will go back and prepare, there will be a fierce battle tomorrow! It's all gone! ”

The order was given, Gervais directly dismissed everyone, and everyone knew that the situation was urgent, and walked out of the hall one after another.

Alice stood up and looked at Gervais deeply, her eyes full of tenderness, and then walked out of the hall.

When all the counts had exited the hall, Gervais picked up the letter on his desk and examined it.

This letter is full of reports about the attack of the orcs in the principality, and although the strength of the orcs has not strengthened this year, the number of them is much higher than in previous years.

In just over a week, the orcs have broken through two lines of defense, and although the situation has not yet reached its worst, the consequences will be unimaginable if it drags on for a long time.

As for Gervais's own Stormlord, because they were lucky enough to catch the spout caravan last time, the teleportation array had already been captured by them, so Stormlord was protected from the orc's attack.

……

In the evening, as reported by the Rangers, the Church army appeared at the end of the horizon.

Looking at the army piled up all over the horizon in the distance, Gervais was expressionless, and after a few words of conversation with Hayden and the others on the city wall, he returned to the palace.

……

It's night!

After returning to the manor, Gervais returned to his study after dinner, and has been thinking about various details about the war.

After finding that there was nothing superfluous to add, he exhaled a breath, the soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth, and they were all prepared if they could, and they were dead and alive in this wave, and it was useless to worry about it.

So Gervais put those things aside and opened his system panel.

Now that the Great War is about to break out, Gervais is ready to draw two more prizes to see if he can draw any useful kiwifruit.

At this time, the energy value card slot in the system panel is displayed as 35 energy points.

There were still 45 points a few days ago, but Gervais spent 10 energy points to exchange for a blue kiwi fruit for WALL-E, so that WALL-E successfully transformed into an elf.

"Pit daddy turntable, start!"

Gervais did not hesitate, his mind moved, and after the system deducted 10 energy points, the big turntable began to rotate!

As the hands slowly stopped turning, Gervais unsurprisingly once again acquired a black kiwifruit.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just as Gervais was about to check the effects of the black kiwifruit, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Gervais was not in a hurry, temporarily closed the system panel, and shouted out the door.

He knew that at this time, without a report, the only people who could knock on the door directly were a few people who had confessed to him, and there must be something serious about finding him.

"Your Majesty!"

When the door was opened by the guards, it was indeed the person he had told to bring in without being informed, as Gervais thought.

The man who came was none other than Bernard the blacksmith.

As soon as Bernard entered the room, he knelt down respectfully and saluted Gervais.

This made Gervais frown slightly, but he didn't stop it, but spoke in a calm tone.

"Bernard, you've been working hard lately! Why did you come to me so late! ”

"Your Majesty, I've been studying weapon forging for a while, and I've created a new type of weapon, so I specially sent it to Your Majesty to see!"

After Bonnard had finished his salute and stood up, he stood cautiously in place, holding an object wrapped in black cloth in his hand.

"Oh? What new weapons? ”

Gervais was immediately interested, and his tone was a little expectant.

"Your Majesty, just this weapon! He's not as accurate as your musket, but he's no less powerful than a musket or a longbow, and it's very easy to use! ”

Bernard carefully opened the wrapped black cloth, and a delicate weapon was presented to Gervais.

And after seeing this thing, Gervais was indeed a little surprised.

This turned out to be a crossbow arrow, and he also thought about making a bow and crossbow when he first became a lord, but then he had a musket, and he was busy making money during that time, so he didn't make this murderous weapon.

After a moment's pause, Gervais asked Bernard with a smile on his face.

"Bernard, what kind of weapon is this? How does it work? ”

"Your Majesty, this thing is called a bow crossbow, it can kill and injure enemies from a distance like a longbow, it was made by me after a long time of research, and there is only this one at present!"

"Oh? Bernard, show it to me! And such weapons. ”

Gervais looked surprised, stood up from the soft chair, and said to Bernard with some impatience.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Bernard saluted respectfully, and then walked in front of Gervais with the crossbow in both hands.

Gervais eagerly took the crossbow and began to examine it carefully.

At this moment, Bernard's eyes in front of Gervais burst into a gleam, and the right arm hanging by his side trembled slightly, and a sharp dagger appeared in his hand.

Then Bernard's whole body moved suddenly, and the originally hidden fighting spirit exploded to the extreme.

There was no binge, no loud noise, everything from holding the dagger to stabbing Gervais in the heart was swift, as if it had been practiced a thousand times.

At this moment, Gervais was still staring intently at the bow and crossbow in his hand, not noticing the danger coming.

"Die!"

"Not only can I complete the task this time, but I can also save the teleportation scroll, and Lord Longfellow will definitely reward me!"
