Inside the great god of St. Louis, a short prayer service has just been held. But the ritual was no less effective than a large prayer, and the statue was covered with dots of holy white light, a sign of the joy of the Lord of Light. At the end of the ceremony, a dozen priests and priests stood up. The leader was actually a handsome young man who looked to be in his twenties, with blonde hair, full of sunshine, and always with a pleasant smile. The young man held a red and black enveloped tome with a large tome wrapped in chains made of white gold, the worn edges recalling a long time.

Unlike other clerics, the young man wore a robe decorated with a red placket and red ribbons around his waist and cuffs. He is a cardinal! In the Church of the Holy Radiance, this is the second only position to the cardinal, and it is rare for him to sit in this position at his age, and it is rare in the past hundred years.

There were also flickering spots of light floating on the young men who had finished praying, which made several elderly priests couldn't help but show a little jealousy. They were well aware that the prayer had pleased the Lord of Light, but that most of the Lord's grace had fallen on the young men, more than they had received combined.

The young man looked back at the ten-meter-high icon in his eyes, and with an incomprehensible smile on his lips, he walked out with the holy scripture in his arms. At this moment, a bishop who was almost fifty years old outside hurriedly walked in, and when he saw the young man's eyes lit up, he hurriedly greeted him, leaned into the young man's ear, and whispered: "Lord Martin, I have just received bad news! Akmund's army suddenly appeared nearby, and it was less than thirty kilometers away!"

The young Martin said disapprehantly, "Ah, the army of Akmund, it is not easy for them to appear here, they have to pass through the territory of several great nobles! ”

The bishop saw Martin continue to walk out, and hurriedly followed, "My lord, it is said that it is Richard who leads the army this time! If someone else had led the way, there might have been a different goal. But this time it was Richard, and in my opinion, his target was mostly ...... Here!"

Martin glanced at the bishop, smiled, and said, "What a bold guess! And it's likely to be right." ”

The bishop became more and more anxious, and said, "My lord, if I guess correctly, then you are in danger!

The young man did not stop, and asked, "Why should I go?"

The bishop's forehead was already sweating, and he hurriedly said: "This god is not as important as your safety! The canon must not fall into Richard's hands, and your safety is just as important. ”

Martin sighed and said, "Isn't it the business of the city guards to defend the city? ”

"How could those city defenders be able to stop Richard! Richard is the murderer who killed Uritic! Our Divine Knights only have two hundred people, and the number may not be as many as Richard's Constructed Knights!" This time, the bishop's voice was full of tears.

"Speaking of the Constructed Knights, I heard that Richard brought more than five hundred this time?" Martin looked visibly interested.

The bishop smiled bitterly, "How can there be so many." The news I heard was between two hundred and three hundred. In addition, Ellie's Northern Route Army also has more than 100 knights. But even this amount is not something we can resist. And I'm ...... I just received an inspiration yesterday, and this time the god of St. Louis may be in trouble. ”

Martin looked thoughtful and said, "Divine revelation?" You let me go with the holy scriptures, what are you going to do?"

The bishop was obviously prepared, and without thinking about it, he said, "The priests will retreat with you, my lord, while I and the knights will stay behind to guard the gods." The Akmunds want to set foot in this kingdom of the gods, and every step they take will have to pay a price!"

Martin finally stopped, looked at the bishop with a look of surprise, and said, "You want to die here?"

The bishop nodded with a wry smile and said, "I only hope that after I die, my soul will be able to ascend to my lord's heavenly kingdom." ”

Martin looked deeply at the bishop and said, "A startling idea, but worthy of respect." You don't have to persuade me, I won't leave. I have also received divine revelation, which should be the same as yours. But I interpret it differently than yours, and I don't think it's a disaster, it's an opportunity. Ah, by the way, Bishop, I've been here for days, and I still forgot to ask your name. ”

"Richelieu, Master Martin. The bishop replied respectfully.

Young Martin nodded, and said, "You have surprised me, Bishop. I think you're going to leave a mark on the history of the church. Well, I still have a bottle of red wine in my room, and we can try it together, and talk about this Richard by the way. ”

"Lord Martin, but your safety ...... And the canonical ......" the bishop is still making his last efforts.

The young man smiled, "I'm dead, and another Martin will appear." Even if the scriptures are burned, they are still in the hearts of believers. What else is there to worry about? I think this Richard is very interesting......"

By noon, Richard had already appeared outside the city of Tobul. The city is famous for the god St. Louis the Great, the domain of an earl, located between the domains of two major dukes. This arrangement was made to avoid a conflict between clerical and secular powers, and a count was not yet in a position to challenge the privileges of the great god St. Louis, but not necessarily a duke.

Richard looked at the city of Tobul from afar, and information about the city and the gods came to his mind. It was only then that he understood the ingenuity of this design structure.

Thousands of kilometers away, Richard could already see the table of the defenders at the head of the city. The warriors were still standing, but there was fear in their eyes. Some of the young warriors' faces were even pale.

Richard pointed to the head of the city and said to the knights in the back, "Those city defenders are not your enemies, but the divine knights of the Church of Divine Radiance. There are about two hundred or three hundred of them, don't underestimate them. In addition, the priests are also very dangerous, and try not to give them a chance to unleash their magic as much as possible. Finally, if you see a priest holding a thick book as a weapon, try to snatch it in its entirety. Well, the only requirement is to capture the priests alive as much as possible, and not to kill them unless absolutely necessary. ”

The Constructed Knights nodded their heads, indicating that they had memorized Richard's orders.

"Okay! Let's go into town. Richard waved his hand and gave the order to attack.

A group of knights in uniform took the lead in dispatching, instigating the magic knights, and slowly approached the city wall. Eight hundred meters, six hundred meters, they have not accelerated, they are still moving forward at the speed of walking. The Constructed Knights were in a team of fifty horsemen, and in front of them were Gangde, Ogre, Sema, Zonghu, and Crimson.

As soon as Richard's knights were dispatched, the general in charge of the city defense on the city wall changed his face greatly, gritted his teeth and cursed: "Hell! Why are there so many Constructed Knights!? Are all the Constructed Knights of the Holy Alliance here? Go and get our Constructed Knights ready!

With the general's order, magic rippled across the city walls, and two giant crossbows, two meters long, roared towards Tiramisu. This is a powerful giant crossbow that can penetrate several meters into the rock, and even the powerhouses of the Holy Domain dare not block it. However, since Tiramisu grew a second head, his natural power has far surpassed that of the human Sanctuary, and now he has such a configuration as a magic weapon, and his power is simply incredible. The ogre raised his hammer and easily smashed one of the crossbows into the air, then waved the other aside.

The general's eyes are about to pop out!

This is a city defense crossbow used to kill war behemoths, dragons, or archmages, and it is the regular weapon of the Sacred Tree Dynasty's army, but it is not an inferior product of a low-level plane! Two powerful giant crossbows were actually photographed like this, and they were as light as two flies!

"Damn! Heavenly Sanctuary!" the general's face turned pale, and he suddenly turned around and shouted, "All ready, let's fight with them! Let the knights assemble in the square behind the city gate, our city gate can't stop that big guy!"

As soon as the general's roar fell, one of the warriors came running up and said angrily, "The knights in costume refuse to fight!" they said...... There are too many enemy Construct Knights. ”

The general slammed his fist on the city wall and said angrily, "These damn cowards......!

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt the city wall under his feet begin to tremble slightly. He looked out of the city in amazement and saw that the Constructed Knights had begun to speed up. The huge iron hooves of the Demon Rider fell, causing the earth to tremble!

The murderous aura is like a wave, rushing to the face, so that the city defense troops can't breathe!

The Sanctuary powerhouses on Richard's side leapt into the air one after another, and the knights in costume took off their horses and threw their spears one after another. A veteran soldier on the city wall who had participated in the plane war immediately cried out bitterly: "Get down, be careful to throw your spear!"

The Knight's spear throwing is very different from that of a regular Knight. Hundreds of throwing spears emitted various colors of fighting energy, dragging long flame tails, and flew up the city wall. Some of them go straight to the top of the city, some are parabola, and some of them zigzag like feathered serpents until they reach the top of the city walls, where they fall straight down. But the lethal effect of these spears was very different, and the walls were roaring, and violent explosions were one after another, and almost the entire head of the city in front of the knights was plowed over.
