Chapter 40: Change
With the appearance of more and more undead creatures in the city, although notices have been posted, the residents of Yasuore City are still a little afraid, and there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the streets, and the huge royal city is a little quiet and terrifying, but this is also just right, the war is imminent, and it is also a safe choice for these residents to stay at home.
After a day of summoning, Bédrik has also reached the limit of what he can control, but fortunately, with the presence of Daurus, Béderick can summon so many undead creatures, otherwise I am afraid that they can reach at most 60% of the current level.
At this time, the number of the undead army was almost 50,000, of course, most of them were third-level skeleton soldiers, about 30,000, and the rest were skeleton archers about 10,000, blood skeletons 3,000, headless horsemen 5,000, The rest are some rare undead creatures, and what makes Berderick most pleased is that there are more than a hundred or so jade skeletons that have evolved into necromancers, although the level is not high, but this is a rare existence even in the undead plane, which further proves how high the undead archmage who left this magic note has reached.
Although there are already a lot of them, but the opponent they have to face is the Holy See, for these creatures of the undead plane, it is very suppressive, in normal times, a skeleton soldier can almost deal with three ordinary swordsmen, because the skeleton soldier will not feel pain, and when the damage reaches the limit that he cannot bear, he will be sent back to the undead plane.
And when facing the Holy See, they will be suppressed by divine power very powerfully, and ordinary skeleton soldiers can't get close to these knights blessed by divine power, let alone those deacons who can also use divine magic.
But at this moment, there is no way, if the matter on the imperial capital cannot be solved, the reinforcements of the Grand Duke of Purple Moon will not be able to come, and most of the real elite soldiers of the Grand Duke of Purple Moon have been sent to the front line, and the situation to be faced at this time is not necessarily easier than here.
But in the current situation, no one can do anything, can only rely on these undead creatures to slowly consume, if the Holy See wants to use the strong to attack, Benjamin is not scared, after all, there are many high-level professionals here, and the Holy See will not be stupid enough to put the advantage of the strength of the force, and instead use the method of the strong duel.
All the undead creatures were arranged in key places in the city defense, and the arrival of these guys who didn't need to rest made the original soldiers a lot easier, at least they could have a good night's rest. At least a night's rest can relax the soldiers who are already about to break the strings, which will also help a lot in the upcoming big war.
The sky finally began to lighten, and the soldiers who had rested for the night returned to their previous posts one after another, when suddenly one soldier noticed the dust raised in the distance, and then the second and third......
"Alert, alert quickly!!"
......
With the sound of the magic alarm, there was a smell of slaughter in the entire royal city, and fire-extinguishing materials were piled up everywhere in the streets and alleys, and teams of soldiers were hurrying to the predetermined location......
"What happened, did the Holy See's army attack?" asked Christine to the two generals beside her, and Benjamin and the others all arrived in the room.
"According to what the soldiers in charge of the lookout observed, there seems to be some big action in the camp of the Holy See, first a large army arrived, it should be the arrival of the army led by Luli as mentioned by the scout, but then the Holy See successively sent about seven detachments of five, each of which was about five thousand people, and the clergy were the same, all of them were a bishop, Four deacons and fifty priests, and twenty others have never been seen before, but it seems that their strength is not inferior to those deacons, and they are all led by a thousand Templars, and the rest should all be blood knights. One of the generals gave a briefing on the situation and then stopped.
"Are the twenty clergymen you have never seen the same ascetic as Matthews before you?" asked Benjamin.
"Different, these people are a little like the men in black who attacked last night, but they are not exactly the same. ”
"Oh?" when Benjamin heard this, he turned his head to look at Kissa and asked, "Is that the one from the Divine Prison?"
Without waiting for Kiza to answer, Spinson spoke first, "It's the Inquisition's arrest team. ”
"Capture team?" everyone was a little surprised, and couldn't understand the reason.
"Well," Spinson nodded, and then explained to everyone, "The Inquisition is under the direct jurisdiction of the Pope, and it will not be used easily, because the deacons are usually responsible for the pursuit of people, and the arrest team of the Inquisition is dedicated to those who have angered the God of Light, and they are all relatively high-level. It's not their turn to make a move like me. ”
Although Spinson's words were a little self-deprecating in the end, they also reflected from another angle that this arrest team was not simple, and it actually used hundreds of people at a time, which shows that the stakes are very high.
"Is it here to deal with you?" Ruoqing said thoughtfully to Kiza.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted, yes, after all, it was the previous pope......
Seeing everyone's expressions, Kisa also smiled helplessly and said:
"It's not aimed at me, I'm already a false god who ignited the divine fire now, because of the restrictions of the plane rules, I suppressed myself, although I left the Holy See, but the origin is still the God of Light, if I want to enter the Kingdom of God now, I will directly enter the Kingdom of God of Light. ”
After hearing Kiza's words, everyone roughly understood, but they couldn't think of the significance of the Holy See's actions......
Yes, who would have thought that what happened to Matthews, when Crook reported the whole thing, Pope Karl directly sent the capture team, and he did not hesitate to consume all the materials to teleport, you must know that the materials consumed to transmit a living person are enough to teleport the letterhead for a year.
Not to mention Benjamin and the others, even Crook didn't expect Carl to react so much, as if he put aside the capture of Yasore, and the first thing became the capture of Matthews. But that's fine, Crook also plans to take the opportunity to explore the ruins of the moon god that appeared before, of course, he doesn't know what the divine envoy is going to, otherwise he probably won't have the courage to kill him.
Putting these aside, what made Benjamin and the others most incomprehensible was that the Holy See's camp actually retreated thirty kilometers in the afternoon, which was equivalent to even the pressure on the three Wei Towns was reduced a lot, and everyone was not only a little inexplicably happy, but also a little confused, and they couldn't understand the Holy See's motive for doing this, even if they sent a lot of people out before, the existing strength was still far higher than nearly twice the number of Yasore, even if they didn't attack immediately, at least there was no need to retreat.
Although they were puzzled, everyone did not dare to take it lightly, on the one hand, they sent people to investigate the details, and on the other hand, they also sent people to contact the imperial capital, because everyone guessed that such a move by the Holy See might be because of an accident on the part of the imperial capital, which led to the fact that they did not dare to attack easily, but they were reluctant to retreat, so they made such a move.
Everyone is puzzled, but after all, it is in favor of their own side, at least it is good to give their own side more time, and it is good to be able to add some more fortifications. The inhabitants of the city were also much calmer when they learned of the withdrawal of the Holy See's army, as can be seen from the fact that the inhabitants began to take to the streets one after another.
But Benjamin and the others were not so relaxed, after all, it was impossible for the Holy See to really retreat, and he and the others didn't seem to be able to do much except to strengthen their vigilance, which also made Benjamin finally have some time to think about what he needed to face, and there were still a large number of people waiting for his decision in the barracks over there......
