Ryan and his troops hurried like an outing, and he was the last to arrive than the rabble.

When the neatly arranged and imposing soldiers lined up into the city, the dark clouds on Chels's face dispersed a little, and finally there was a reliable one, and he finally saw the wrong person.

As soon as Ryan entered the city, he saw Chels, who was waiting to greet him, but he didn't look very good.

was about to step forward to say hello, but who expected Chels to give him a bear hug directly, and his enthusiastic attitude made Ryan a little confused, and he didn't know whether he should push it away for a while.

"Hahaha, Ray, you really didn't disappoint me." Chels patted Ryan's shoulder with a relieved face, leaving him at a loss for the second monk.

Looking at Ryan, who was full of suspicion, Chels smiled bitterly and said, "Bring your people with me, and you will understand when you arrive at the station." ”

On the way to the station, Chels also introduced the current situation of the battlefield to Ryan, and he talked a lot, but in the end, it was very chaotic, very chaotic.

Since the rebels were defeated in Golden Spike City last time, it didn't take long for them to show up again and start making waves everywhere.

Why is it chaotic, because it is not only the rebels who are doing things everywhere, but also bandits, wandering knights, mercenaries and even the private army of nobles.

It can be said that the entire Gothic province has become a pot of porridge, and the forces of all parties are like a hodgepodge, and wolf smoke is everywhere.

"How is His Royal Highness going to deal with it?" Ryan was surprised in his heart, he didn't expect the current situation to be so complicated.

"Hey, what can we guess what Your Highness is thinking, but I have already received news that the Holy Light Holy See is going to intervene in this war."

Chelse smiled coldly and threw out a piece of news that Ryan had never considered.

"Holy Light Holy See?" Ryan looked surprised, he didn't have much contact with the Holy See, and he didn't know much about it, only that although they had great force, they rarely intervened in the human countries.

Because the pattern of divine authority of kings was completely changed in the war a long time ago, most of the human countries were out of the control of the Holy See, and the monarchy and divine power became a pattern of non-subordination to each other.

Although I don't know why those gods would tolerate this kind of thing, it is true that the Holy See has never interfered in the affairs of various countries on the surface.

And this time the rebellion of the Holy See is going to officially intervene, can His Majesty the King and the nobles in the country agree?

As if seeing Ryan's doubts, Chels chuckled: "This time, the Holy See sent an overseer, and also mobilized the apologetic warriors from churches all over the kingdom to form a trial legion of more than five thousand people.

Three days earlier he had arrived in the Gothic province, and it is said that the Holy See had reached some kind of consensus with His Majesty and His Royal Highness. ”

"There's an overseer?" Ryan raised his eyebrows, surprised that the king and the nobles of the country would allow an overlord to enter the country, and it seemed that they had reached some terrible agreement.

There are many churches of gods in this world, but the largest and most believer is the Church of the Holy Light handed down by the Lord of Light, which is what ordinary people call the Holy See.

The Holy See is headed by the Pope, just like the king of the human kingdom, who is the spokesman of the gods in the mortal world, and there are four cardinal archbishops who are responsible for handling the daily affairs of the Holy See, which is commonly known as the cardinal archbishop.

And because the Holy See has a vast sphere of influence and covers almost all human countries, it is divided into twelve bishops according to the region, which is equivalent to the full head of the Holy See in that area.

Under the bishop, there are also regional archbishops of various provinces, bishops of churches of counties and counties, and priests, priests, monks, etc., below the bishops, and the hierarchy is strict, no worse than that of a human kingdom.

These priests are beings who have mastered the essence of the doctrine and powerful divine arts, and are not only powerful transcendents, but also walking missionaries.

In layman's terms, the higher the position, the more gifts you receive, and the more contagious the recitation of the scriptures, and the overseer is an extremely terrifying existence.

They were able to gather a large number of fanatical believers with a simple chant of the scriptures, and they preached doctrines that no monarch could tolerate, and the presence of the Governor was severely restricted.

After all, if he goes out for a walk, a whole bunch of your people will run away with him, and if you are the king, do you panic?

Thus, in addition to the kingdoms that are under the full control of the Holy See, the monarchs of all human countries have jointly made contracts to restrict the development of the Holy See, and the Doge is the key to the restrictions.

In normal times, they can only stay in the church, and they are not allowed to show their faces, let alone preach, otherwise they will be expelled from the country.

That's why Ryan was so surprised when he heard that the Overlord was coming, compared to the thousands of Inquisitors.

After all, there are thousands of churches in the Holy See across the country, and each church has a certain number of Holy Light Warriors and Holy Light Knights as apologists, so it is not too easy to gather a few thousand people.

Chels looked left and right, and then whispered: "It is no secret that this rebellion was caused by the apostles of the evil gods, and it is understandable that the Holy See and them are mortal enemies to play a part in this rebellion, but according to the information I have received, this matter is far from that simple.

It is rumored that an evil artifact has appeared! ”

"The Evil Artifact is here!" Ryan's heart really shook, in this world where extraordinary power exists, there are also weapons containing extraordinary power.

And those who have the ability to create such extraordinary weapons are called masters, and every master craftsman is a noble existence, no matter what race he is in, he will be a guest.

Among them, the most dazzling are the legendary masters, who are themselves legendary transcendentals, so the extraordinary weapons created by countless treasures and painstaking efforts are naturally extraordinary.

This weapon is known as an artifact, also known as a battle artifact, and it is said to have the power to rival the gods, which is likely to be bragging, but no one can underestimate the powerful power contained in the artifact.

As far as Ryan knows, the reason why the Orc Kingdom could not really destroy the Tistan Kingdom, in addition to the containment of various forces, was because the Tistan Kingdom had a Zhenguo artifact, which was the largest inheritance inherited by the Tistan Kingdom after the division of the Dawning Empire!

The reason why it is called a battle artifact is because each one has the ability to turn the situation on the battlefield, and the Kingdom of Tistan relied on that artifact to reverse the crisis of the destruction of the country several times, which shows how terrifying its power is.

Although the evil artifact has an evil word, the degree of horror is no worse than that of the Zhenguo artifact, and it will even be more prominent in some aspects, because it is the handwriting of the supreme evil god!

If there really is a mass killer of this level, then there is a reasonable explanation for why this rebellion is so intractable, and why the big names in the kingdom can allow the Holy See's overarch and the Inquisition to intervene.

The Holy See and the evil god are absolute rivals, the kind that is absolutely impossible to reconcile, and the supreme pope of the Holy See has launched more than one action to destroy the Apostolic Council of the evil gods, but all of them have not been fully successful, and a large part of this is because of the existence of evil artifacts.

And now, the appearance of the evil artifact in the land of rebellion is a golden opportunity for the Holy See, as long as this evil artifact can be left, it is to break one of the arms of the evil god apostles, and it will definitely be a great help for the holy war in the future.

As long as you don't have to be stupid, you know what to do, and it's worth paying even some price for it, and it's a good thing for the big names of the Tistan Kingdom.

"I didn't expect the current situation to be so complicated, this battle is not easier than the battle against Andes." Ryan sighed, the current Gothic province is a huge and incomparably large whirlpool, pulling all kinds of bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods in.

And in terms of his strength and heritage, he is just a small shrimp in this whirlpool, and it is difficult to turn over a wave, so Ryan has repeatedly warned himself that he must be obscene and obscene, and don't really capsize the boat here.

As they spoke, the team arrived at the temporary camp in Atterdam, where the dilapidated houses had long since been demolished and replaced by thousands of tents.

The aristocratic armies of the entire Linton County have gathered here, a legion of nearly 10,000 men.

And Ryan finally knew why Chels said that he had arrived at the camp, and he understood.

He looked around and saw messy tents, listless soldiers, tattered weaponry......

Ryan's eyes widened suddenly, and he muttered, "I'm afraid this isn't a refugee camp, right?" ”

Chels couldn't raise his anger at all, and said with hatred: "This time, except for the more than 3,000 people in my headquarters and the more than 1,000 people you brought, only the troops of the Baron Maple Leaf are barely usable, and the rest are all characters like rogues." ”

Ryan could fully understand Chels's anger and helplessness, he was the supreme commander of this force, and he was going to take them to make a difference.

But the combatant soldiers are only barely half, how to keep him from being angry?

And what made him even more helpless was that although these nobles were under his jurisdiction, what troops to dispatch were the internal affairs of the nobles, even if he was the commander-in-chief, he couldn't interfere, and he couldn't ask them.

Even if you know that they are deliberately hiding their strength, as long as the other party bites to death, this is his main force, and you can't do anything about him.

"Okay, let's not talk about that for now, your station is over there, next to mine. Let the soldiers rest and rest, we will rest here for a few days before heading north.

Come to my tent tonight, and I will hold a military council. Chels gestured to an open space, and then hurried away with his guards.

The arrival of Ryan and the others really attracted a lot of attention, not to mention the morale and equipment of the troops, but also the hundreds of horses, which made many people salivate.

Horses have always been a relatively scarce resource in the south, and many cavalry under the command of small lords can't even make up a hundred-man team, and the appearance of so many horses in Ryan's team really makes several nobles blush.

In the face of these people's eyes, Ryan didn't say anything, and asked Alan to take the team to camp on his own, these are all pig teammates, so stay away from them, so as not to be contaminated with the smell of pigs.

——————

In a land ravaged by war, a long line of dragons, mostly dressed in golden armor, seemed to be shrouded in a holy light from a distance.

In the center of the procession is a huge cart pulled by eight unicorns as white as snow, and each step they take leaves a fluorescent footprint that will last for a long time.

This is the Inquisition Army formed by the Holy See, a group of several southern provinces that have come together to respond to the Pope's call to participate in the war against the Apostles of the Evil God in this land of slaughter and iniquity.

At the back of the procession, a large number of ragged refugees hung in the distance, their faces full of piety, following the traces of the procession in three steps, one bow, nine steps and one knock.

They are devout followers of the Light, believing that suffering is punishment from the gods, and that they need to pay for their sins with devotion in order to return to the arms of the gods.

They believed that the Inquisitors were messengers sent down by the gods, and that the land they trampled on would be purified and blessed, and that they could wash away their sins by prayer and worship in them.

Whether it was a mud pit or a sharp stone, they would not hesitate to kneel and prostrate, and then pray sincerely, and some believers would even sincerely kiss the rut marks pressed by the bishop's carriage.

This incomprehensible behavior, they have been going on all the way, many people have fallen, but many more will join in.

The Inquisitors and the Overseer were oblivious to what was happening behind them, and only in the early morning they would provide them with a small amount of bread and holy water that had little effect.

Other than that, they wouldn't react even if someone fell behind them.

No single believer is dissatisfied with all this, even if hundreds of people die along the way, and they see it as part of the atonement......

In the wide carriage, an old man who looked kind sat quietly, he was wearing a gorgeous purple robe, and his whole body was shrouded in a layer of holy light, which looked a little hazy, and exuded a peaceful aura around him, which made people want to get close.

This is the Overseer in charge of the kingdom of Tistan, and the leader of this team!

A knight of the Holy Light riding a tall war horse rode to the side of the carriage and said respectfully: "Lord Overlord, not far ahead is the Golden Spike City, according to intelligence records, the first appearance of the evil artifact was here. ”

The old man opened his eyes when he heard this, and a golden light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a soft voice: "That's right, this is it, I already smell its evil breath." ”

The knight respectfully asked, "Are we going into the city?" ”

The old man chuckled and shook his head, "No, if we enter the Golden Spike City, those big people in the Tistan Kingdom will not be able to sit still." ”

Then he looked at the rampaging black qi in the palm of his hand, and whispered: "Is it really [Nightmare Bell], you can't escape this time......"
