In the blink of an eye, Curt made a decision. (Please search, the novel is better and faster!) He wants Ai Ye and his party to be cannon fodder and test the strength of the druids. In the process, Curt must keep the main force of the Otlan army. Otherwise, the mercenaries will have a lack of protection, which will make the guns less powerful.

To disguise the plan, Curt made a pensive look. His face tensed, looking very unpleasant. Ai Ye sat in the chair with a smile, and her two small tender legs that couldn't reach the ground kept dangling. She waited for a moment, then spoke:

"Aotland is a country blessed by the goddess of the night, and it is our duty to protect it. Although the priest of the goddess of the night does not like to live in one place for a long time, she is always wandering around. But when there is a need, we will definitely arrive in time. Within three days, my parishioners would arrive six times later. You have come in vain, please go back. ”

“...... That's why I hate imps. ”

Curt shrugged and muttered to himself. He stared at Ai Ye, who immediately pursed his mouth, and said in a slightly mocking tone:

"Since you are here, it means that His Majesty Gurant has acquiesced in this matter. Well, do as you wish. I'll stay until the battle is over before leaving, and I wish you all the best of luck. ”

Curt didn't play it too delicately, he changed his mind and decided to carry out a machia. Curt believes that Gurrant will not give up on himself lightly. Because in the matter of Fran, Gurrant poured all his heart and soul into it, and he must be very cautious. So Curt decided to give Aiye a hand and see how capable the priests of the Night Goddess were. As long as Otlan's army was not severely damaged in the process, Curt's plan could still be carried out.

Doing so naturally increases the risk. But it was also a helpless move. Curt could tell. The status of Ai Ye and his party is quite high. They sneaked into the Wing Night Castle. He was summoned by the king right away. Even Curt probably won't get the same treatment.

So whatever Ai Ye was going to do, Curt would have a hard time stopping. Rather than going head-to-head with the other party, it's better to push the boat with the current. Anyway, there were a dozen druids outside the city waiting to find someone to open the knife, and Curt didn't mind sending Aiye to fill the knife. In his opinion, Ai Ye is the kind of bear child who has different talents and easily ascends to a high position, but as a result, he has become unbelievable. If you can't beat Ai Ye hard, she will slap her ass. Then it's not bad to let her out and suffer a little.

This was the end of the conversation, and Ai Ye was quite satisfied with the results. Curt watched the three guests leave, and then began to make tea. As Curt took the kettle out of the fireplace and poured hot water into the teapot, there was a knock on the door. This was expected by Curt, so he went over and opened the door panel, and saw Sir William in his night suit.

William's face was unusually solemn, and he slipped straight into the room and closed the door. William breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of the steaming teacup. He took off the cloak that covered his clothes. Said to Curt, who began to brew the second cup of tea:

"You know I'm coming, Master Curt. You know what I'm here for. -- We will never unilaterally tear up the agreement with you, but the situation has changed. The attitude of the senior priest was very tough, so that His Majesty Gulrant did not even have room to maneuver. I hope you understand that in Otland, divine power is greater than royal power. ”

"The whole Central 6 is like this, the monarchy is divinely granted, I understand. ”

Curt was indifferent, and before leaving the Thousand Laws City, he had done his homework. William sighed helplessly and folded his arms. Curt took a sip of hot tea, then said in a deep voice:

"I wonder why the High Priest didn't come early. If she had brought someone two months earlier, you wouldn't have asked for help from the Thousand Laws City. In fact, in Lord Eoham's estimation, Otlan must have been abandoned by the Night Goddess. This is true, excuse me for the wording. In any case, the timing of the senior priest's appearance was too bizarre. She just came out of nowhere to destroy our alliance. ”

"I feel the same way, but there is nothing Grande can do to stop the high-ranking priest. ”

William nodded, he had thought of all these things. When Curt took the second sip of hot tea, William said very depressedly:

"Because of the relationship of the high-ranking priests, the officers who originally supported His Majesty Gulrant were shaken. You may not be able to understand it, but any soldier who is ready to set foot on the battlefield, will pray to the goddess of the night the night before. They grew up under the protection of the goddess of the night, at least that's what their elders taught them. Therefore, once you disobey the senior priest, it is not surprising that even if you provoke a mutiny. ”

"Faith? ”

Curt put down his teacup and folded his hands. He suddenly remembered that above the main fort of Yongye Castle, there was a huge statue of the goddess of the night. This is a metaphor for the supremacy of theocracy, and each country in the Central 6 has its own patron saint. The gods are the backbone of the hearts of the people, and when they encounter danger or misfortune, the first thing they do is pray to the gods. If someone challenged the deity's agent, he would naturally be met with a strong counterattack.

"Faith...... Asylum nationals...... Theocratic supremacy...... God shouldn't have that much time to take care of the people one by one, right......? I see, I see. ”

Curt muttered to himself in boredom, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind. When the meaningless pieces of information were pieced together, Curt found the connection. - He guessed that since Fran was a warlock, Otran had indeed been abandoned by the Church of the Night Goddess. The High Priest was even happy to see Wing Night Castle fall, because what Gurrant had done was a great rebellion.

But what the high-ranking priest never expected was that Gurant would jump over the wall in a hurry and ask for help from the Thousand Law City. As a result, in yesterday's battle, Aotran unexpectedly had the upper hand.

If the shape is left unchecked, I am afraid that Otlan will be able to win the war. At that point, the senior pastor who has been doing nothing will be very passive. She will face the unprecedented rise in prestige of the Gulrant and the Thousand Laws City, and the despisedness of the Church of the Night Goddess.

So the High Priest came overnight, wanting to take the credit for the victory over Jeppen and Britannia. She intends to take the lead when the situation is favorable and then crush the enemy as a leader. Then all the glory will go to the church. This is a very simple strategy, and with the influence of the goddess of the night, it can be easily realized.

Of course, Curt wouldn't sue anyone, and there was a large group of druids who were about to run and smash the field. He just smiled and said to a worried William:

"Alright, whatever the senior priest does. I'm guessing she's going to hit the nail, so I want to trouble you with something. -- Protect the core of the army, and in the worst-case scenario, we need elite soldiers to stabilize the form. Please leave at least five hundred of the best fighters, I only ask for so much. ”

"No problem, I can temporarily expand the guards of His Majesty Gurant. ”

William agreed without hesitation, and he was on the same side as Curt. To William's concern, Curt seems to have decided that Ai Ye is not going to do anything. From past interactions, William has seen how powerful Curt is. Once Curt shows certainty about something, his prediction is likely to come true.

That meant a military defeat, but Otlan didn't have the extra forces to lose. Of course, William did not want Ai Ye to be a big success. Because he knew that once Ai Ye defeated the coalition army, then the prestige of the church would be in full swing.

At that time, I am afraid that Ai Ye will force Gulrant to abdicate. Because in the matter of Gurant's decision to join forces with the Thousand Laws City, the priests were obviously very dissatisfied. And the first thing the new king did when he ascended the throne was to burn Fran at the stake. This is the new king's vote to show that he has dissociated himself from the city of a thousand laws and is loyal only to the church.

Curt yawned and motioned for the conversation to end. William left preoccupied, not knowing what Curt was going to do. Not long after, Gordon and Cameron quietly visited Curt. They conspired with Curt for a long time, and finally left with a smile on their faces.

Early the next morning, Jeppen and the Britannica army launched a general attack. They rolled out the two remaining guns and hid far away to bombard Yongye Fort. At a distance of about a kilometer, the artillery fired every two or three minutes. Solid cannonballs swept through the sky and smashed into the walls of Yongye Fort, leaving irregular dents and cracks.

The distance reduces the hit rate of the artillery, which is something that cannot be helped. The shells fell very widely, and there were almost no substantial gains. Suppose fifteen guns fire at the same time, bombarding from a distance of about five hundred meters. Then it won't be long before the walls of Wing Night Fort will collapse. This was the original plan of the coalition forces, and now it has gone with the wind.

After two hours of artillery bombardment, wasting almost all the remaining gunpowder, the coalition forces went on the attack. They threw in two thousand warriors and arranged them in ten loose phalanxes. Duke Oliver also sent four hundred cavalry, which were used to protect the flanks of the phalanx. That's half of the coalition's strength, and Duke Oliver intends to decide it all at once.

Located in front of the phalanx is a row of siege engines. These include siege engines for ramming gates, and building carts loaded with archers that can suppress the fire of the walls. Duke Oliver is ready to wage a brutal siege at any cost. He ordered his army to raise their shields and march towards Wing Night Fort.

To the surprise of Duke Oliver, his army was not baptized by magic. Duke Oliver had expected a fireball to fly, causing hundreds of casualties before the army reached the walls.

But apart from bows and arrows and stone projectiles thrown from catapults, nothing stood in the way of the army. This made Duke Oliver wonder, and he even wondered if the druids he had seen last night had already killed the mage. But the priests of the Night Goddess suddenly stood on the walls of the city and began to perform their magic. They made Duke Oliver realize that his luck was not as good as he thought.
