Chapter 1345: Do You Know I'm Waiting for You? (6,000 words, asking for a monthly pass)
ww.x.om"You killed Maschinot?!" Cardinal Sandos exclaimed in disbelief, with a stunned expression on his face, and said with a stunned expression, "This, this ......"
This news is really good, it's like spending two copper plates to sell the Flying Eagle Sports Lottery ticket, and the result is that he won five million gold coins at once, and he can't believe it.
If it is not clearly known, the telegram was sent by Eagle Telegraph. He would have thought it was a rumor.
"Maybe~!" the observer next to him accentuated his tone and corrected word by word: "It's just that it may have killed Maschinot." ”
Sandos froze, then glanced thoughtfully at the battlefield outside the city.
He remembered that on that day, the Chinese army banner of the demon clan was very far away from the city wall, far exceeding the range of the bow and crossbow.
If you have artillery in your hand and dare to go within four miles of the city wall, it is purely looking for death. But his Bayer regiment did not have a single artillery.
Battlefield long-range strike weapons such as cannons are all high-tech weapons produced by the Flying Eagle Group, and high-tech also represents one thing, that is, while the performance is excellent, it is also expensive for the pit father~!
Cardinal Sandos's legion is already known as elite in the Holy See army, and its weapons and equipment are excellent, but it is still unequipped.
"But, how did you kill him?" asked Santos, puzzled by a puzzled expression.
The two ghosts glanced at each other and said expressionlessly, "Confidential." ”
Touching such a hard nail, Sandos grinned angrily, but he was helpless. Although he is a dignified cardinal, the commander of the first army, and the other party is only two soldiers of Naian, but just by looking at the secrecy level of the two, you can know that the secret hidden in it is far from being a cardinal who can inquire about it casually.
Sandos turned his head to look at the place where Maschinot was on the battlefield that day, and his heart suddenly jumped and remembered something.
At the Vatino's most tense time a year ago, it was not Hillmelia who was the most vocal candidate for the pont. It's Bishop Buckley.
He died suddenly and inexplicably. It is said that the heads were blown open at that time, and no assassins or weapons were found around.
Everyone speculated in their hearts that Lord Lorraine must have done this. But I can't figure out how.
A person was just leisurely drinking tea under the gaze of dozens of people around, and his head exploded in the next second.
"What happened that time...... It's a bit like today~!" Cardinal Sandos was shocked in his heart. Raising his head, he glanced at the two ghosts in disbelief. I secretly said in my heart: "It can't be these two who did it, right?"
Look at the two people's expressions as indifferent as dead people. Santos decided not to get to the bottom of it, and said secretly: "Forget it, it's none of my business." Luckily, Lord Lorraine and I are on the same side. ”
After thinking for a moment, Cardinal Sandos nodded, "If Maschinot is dead." The demon people's expression in the past few days makes sense. ”
The two ghosts glanced at each other, and although their faces were still blank, they both saw the light jumping in each other's eyes.
Maschinot is a real king~!
If the target of their killings turns out to be Muschinotte, then the two of them will make history as the first group of agents to receive the first honorary title of "JFK assassination". Become the ace of sniping~!
Sandos also breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally didn't have to guess the reason why the demons on the other side didn't move.
Against Maschinot, Cardinal Sandos himself is under a lot of pressure.
According to the information sent back, Maschinot and Veraprani, who commanded the Western Front, are both veterans who have been famous in the Demon Clan for many years. Rolled on the battlefield for decades.
Before he was born, he was already a general, and he had a lot of experience in warfare.
It can be seen from the fighting on the Western Front in the past few months that the two Semitic generals have cooperated tacitly and killed inland from the west coast in one go. There was no defeat in between.
Even the Marquis of Marleton, a famous general of the Ruman Empire, commanded 300,000 elite Ruman battles, and in the face of the pressing of the demons, he could only keep retreating.
He was up against none other than Veraprani.
And he, Cardinal Sandos, only came into contact with the military last year. It can be said that he is a rookie recruit with eggshells on his buttocks, and he is famous for his defeat in a hundred battles in peacekeepers.
The reason why he can have the status of commanding 100,000 people today is because he is very resilient, although he has been defeated repeatedly. But he has been defeated again and again, and he is as unyielding as an invincible Xiaoqiang.
Two. It is also the most important thing that high-level trust.
Without the support of His Majesty the Pope and Lord Lorraine, a world-famous general like him would have been kicked back to his hometown a long time ago.
So in this battle, Cardinal Sandos chose the most stupid, safest, and most skilled tactic.
Let you have a thousand schemes, I will have a way, stick to it~!
A few days is a few days, and if you can't keep it, you should be loyal to the Holy See.
Cardinal Sandos had no confidence at all, and often dreamed in the middle of the night that he was defeated by the demons and woke up, and then he couldn't sleep all night. There are already gray hairs on his head.
"Judging from the appearance of the demons who have been standing still for the past few days," Cardinal Sandos looked at the two ghosts and smiled, "It is very likely that you killed Maschinot."
Only because the Lord is about to die will the enemy not dare to rush into the army. ”
The two ghosts looked at each other and smiled, then clapped each other's palms. Due to the long period of rigorous training, they seem to have lost the affection of ordinary people, although they are under ecstasy, the expression on their faces is only slightly twitched, and they look extremely stiff and ugly.
Santos involuntarily looked away, looked at the demon camp outside the city, and suddenly thought in his heart: Do you want to go out of the city and attack?
As soon as there is a thought in my heart, I immediately become ready to move.
Now that the demon clan is dead, maybe it is the time of chaos inside, his own army of 100,000 is not much less than the demon clan that surrounded Delong, the enemy has a war fortress, and he also has the Pope's Silver Wing Guard on his side.
If you take the initiative, you might ......
Sandos stared at the dark demon camp in the distance, the expression on his face changed, and the hand pressed on the city wall sometimes clenched and sometimes released.
After a long time, Cardinal Sandos took a breath, shook his head with a wry smile, and said to himself: "I know how many pounds and taels I have." Still not taking risks. ”
Until now, he himself was a half-way amateur, and ninety percent of his men were still recruits.
Seriously, the demon general is dead, so let yourself and your subordinates take a few more breaths before they can find a replacement.
After figuring it out. Cardinal Sandos became much more relaxed.
"Thank you both for your contributions. Sandos stepped forward, shook the hands of the two ghosts affectionately, and said, "I thank you on behalf of the Baier Legion. ”
At the same time, the news spread in Delong City, and I heard that my own people actually killed the demon commander. The soldiers and civilians all over the city couldn't stop cheering excitedly, their morale was high, and they were more confident in defending Delong City.
Just as the people who remained in the city were celebrating the victory as if they were celebrating the great victory, several war fortresses flew in from the sky to the west. Fall into the camp of the Semitic army.
This situation immediately attracted the attention of the Bayer regiments in the city, and the battle alarm sounded, and the soldiers of the Holy See immediately went to their posts.
But after waiting for half an hour, the Semitic camp was unusual.
An hour later, the gates were still closed.
After three hours, not a single army had left the camp.
It wasn't until the soldiers had finished their lunch at the head of the city that the Semitic camp surrounding Delongcheng suddenly became in a commotion.
The defenders of the city immediately raised their vigilance and prepared for battle.
Tens of thousands of human vassal legions were the first to march out of the camp and line up in front of Delong City.
Tulip flags fly high...... Five miles away.
Emperor De Rossi wisely stayed away from the battlefield. In fact, he recalled the moment when Maschinotte fell, and he also had palpitations.
At the time, he and Maschinot were not far away. Just half a distance behind the horse's body.
As a result, while the two of them were happily talking, Maschinot's head exploded inexplicably. Who is this on, who can not be afraid?
Although I don't know what is going on, it is certain that this matter was definitely done by the Holy See army on the other side~!
This time it's the hapless man of Maschinot. The next time it will be Emperor De Rossi, for the sake of his own safety. It's still as far away as you can.
Not only did he stand far away from the battlefield, but Emperor De Rossi also set up heavy guards in front of and behind him to prevent accidents.
The soldiers of the De Rossi Empire did not act after they were in formation, and with the tacit approval of the officers, the soldiers simply sat on the ground, as if waiting for something.
Although the death of the nasty ghost of Maschinot made the Emperor Delong very happy, and his appetite has been great these days, the smart and handsome Emperor Xià is not willing to waste his precious military power to attack the city of Delong, which is like a hedgehog.
Cardinal Sandos looked at the strange appearance of the soldiers of the De Rossi Empire, and began to wonder in his heart: which one is this singing?
After thinking carefully for a moment, he thought that this was another trick by the enemy to lure the enemy.
Cardinal Sandos couldn't help but sneer, and secretly said in his heart: "I just don't go out, I'm angry with you~!"
Although he knew that this was a very self-deception, he still had a bit of a sense of pleasure in his heart and won the gamble.
After the soldiers of the Derossi Empire lined up, the Semitic camp began to stir, and the brigade of soldiers then walked out of the camp.
But to the surprise of Cardinal Sandos, the Semitic army walked out through the back door.
"The enemy is going to run~!" he reacted immediately.
The Semitic actions confirmed the cardinal's words, and they marched out of the camp and quickly lined up, then walked far around the city towards the east.
Santos immediately knew in his heart that what he feared had happened.
The demons didn't want to gnaw at him, Delong City, they got rid of the entanglement and went straight to the Vatino~!
The Vatino is the holy city of the human race, the abode of the god of light on earth. The spiritual home of all mankind.
Thousands of years of indoctrination have led all human beings to believe that they are all living under the favor of the God of Light.
With this boss taking care of it, everyone can have clothes to wear, food to eat, a girl's light, and money to gamble.
It is precisely because of this that human beings can unite and resist the invasion of demons and undead together.
Once the Holy City is captured, it means that they are no longer favored by the God of Light. The human world's will to resist and its determination to fight will inevitably be shattered.
Thinking of this, Sandos shouted anxiously and said, "Go and invite the warriors of the Silver Wing Guard, forget it." I'll go personally. ”
Just a few minutes later, a knight of the Silver Wing Guard soared into the sky on a Pegasus and disappeared into the eastern sky in the blink of an eye.
After the news came out, Sandos looked at the De Rossi Imperial soldiers sitting on the ground outside the city, touched his shaved chin and thought secretly: I can't let you withdraw too easily. Lao Tzu's soldiers may not be able to defeat the demons in the field. Can't beat you De Rossi?
Damn, just let the cavalry throw grenades.
Having made up his mind, Sandos immediately ordered all his cavalry to go out of the city and harass the enemy.
The knights of the Holy See hung a large leather bag on the back of their horses. Carrying a whole bag of grenades, he rushed out of the city gate with high morale.
Although the enemy's forces were pinning down, at this time, they could only hold the city, and it was impossible for them to retreat to the Vatino. But using the advantage of weapons, it is more than enough to start a skirmish with the enemy.

The demons were quiet under the city of Delong, and won the Vatino's most precious and scarce weapon - time.
Due to previous strategic mistakes, the Holy See has always been fighting for every inch of territory, sending a steady stream of troops to the front line to attack the enemy, and the result has become a typical tactic of adding fuel.
Under the city of Rotgaron, more than 100,000 elites were buried in one fell swoop. And when Sandos was reinforced from the rear. He saw the opportunity quickly, otherwise, he would have become a meat bun for beating dogs.
Although the Holy See claims to be a million elites, most of the troops in the rear are still being recruited at this time, and it is too late to arrive.
Although Lorraine desperately for reinforcements. But at this time, the Vatino only had a regular division of Lorraine at most, which could be described as extremely dangerous.
And the demons are also aware of this.
When they finally reacted, the Semitic army of more than 100,000 immediately left Delong City and marched all the way east. Rush to the Vatino.
At the same time, Lorraine was sending reinforcements to the Vatino that could be mobilized.
The tranquil and sacred Vatino turned into a noisy and busy landing ground. Flags fly during the day, lights are shining at night, and the war fortress takes off and lands day and night.
The clergy and a small number of civilians who are still in the Vatino City are engaged in the work of unloading supplies, also in three shifts, day and night.
It's a matter of life and death for the Vatino and themselves, and no one wants to be lazy. No one dares to be lazy - the dogs of the Inquisition are all staring at the sidelines, and to be lazy at this time is to maliciously sabotage, to want to betray mankind, and to blasphemy.
A guy like that would have to be nailed to the cross with steel, and then put a fire on it to purify his ** and his soul.
After more than ten days of continuous airlift, all the soldiers and weapons of the Eagle Division were transported into the city, and at the same time, they were also constantly building a defense system.
Lord Lorraine did not rush to strengthen the city wall, but put into the work of digging trenches, and the second layer around the Shaolin abbot of the Vatican post-80s generation was a trench and bunker array, with artillery positions and full reliance on commanding heights such as hills.
The third layer extends from the Vatino to the city, with trenches, tunnels, tunnels, permanent fortresses and bunkers, and artillery bunkers.
To this end, the Eagle Master even demolished the stones and buildings on both sides of many of the streets of the Vatino to obtain solid building materials.
With the full support of Pope Hilmelia, the bishops could not help but feel a faint pain in their hearts when they saw the streets turn into dirt roads again, but they did not dare to raise any objections.
They can only comfort themselves, and on the bright side, these strong fortifications have given them great security.
Mazovia had been at the side of Lord Lorraine, coordinating the work between the Holy See and the Naians.
He looked at the Vatino City in front of him, which looked like a construction site, and felt his heart twitch, even the Papal Palace and the Temple of Light were surrounded by fortifications, and the trenches and bunkers were dug under the steps of the temple gates.
Mazovia was secretly frightened, and finally seized an opportunity, pulled Lorraine and asked, "Sir, do you expect the enemy to reach the Temple of Light?"
Lorraine looked at the barbed wire fence in front of the temple, smiled slightly, and said, "Even if they can't rush in, I'll let them in a little." ”
"Ah~!" Mazovia's frightened mouth could be stuffed with an egg.
Lorraine patted him on the shoulder and said with a cold expression: "Vatino is like a torch in the night, as long as you see it, those demons will rush here like moths."
So, we're going to turn this place into a grinding disc for the flesh and blood of the strangled demons, and the ones I'm going to beat will tremble when they think of the Vatino's name. ”
Mazovia listened to the chill in Lorraine's words, and couldn't help but jump in her heart: this master is ruthless. It's kind of scary.
General Patrod walked up to him and saluted, first glanced at Mazovia, and said, "My lord, the defense work has been basically completed, but there is a little trouble in setting up artillery positions. ”
Lorraine frowned. "What's the trouble?"
"The staff officer thinks the best artillery position seems to be ......," Patraud squeaked a little.
"Where's that position?" Lorraine interrupted him and asked directly.
Patroud pouted. Then he pointed to the top of Lorraine's head.
Lord Lorraine turned his head, and the first thing he saw was the tall statue at the entrance of the Temple of Light, and then he looked up, and the majestic and tall dome of the temple.
"You mean. Inside the temple?" Lorraine herself was a little surprised.
Patroud pursed his lips and nodded, hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "It is the tallest building in the entire city, with a wide view and the best shooting range." And the roof is sturdy enough......"
Looking at Mazovia's expression next to him wanting to eat him raw, Patraud touched his nose in a sneer, and he also knew that this idea seemed to be a bit excessive.
"Okay~!" Lorraine immediately made a decision, and said, "It's set up in the temple." ”
The Temple of Light is two stories tall on its pedestal, and the artillery in the middle of it not only provides a wide field of vision, but also increases the range. In addition, the tall and sturdy dome is also very effective in defending against enemy attacks from the sky.
Mazovia was about to cry in fright, and he grabbed Lorraine by the sleeve. said nervously: "Sir, no, no~!"
This, this ......"
"What's not to do?" Lorraine grinned and said, "Let's talk about the old horse." Do you think Your Majesty will support me and say that she supports you?"
Mazovia cried with a sad face, the Pope and Lord Lorraine were two people, as long as Lorraine proposed it. Hillelia certainly wouldn't object.
"This is blasphemy, my lord. It will cause people all over the world to talk about it, and they will think that you are disrespectful to God. Mazovia clung to Lorraine's clothes.
Lord Lorraine spread his hands and said, "Old Ma, it's not me talking about you, it's not about how to say everything."
You can also say that this represents the wrath of the God of Light against the demons, and must punish them with flames. ”
Mazovia was stunned for a moment, then scratched the top of her bare head, and said dumbfoundedly: "This is reasonable...... Yes, I'm going to find a few pens and flipping through the canon, and I should be able to find a reasonable explanation, well, it must be possible. ”
Mazovia acted immediately, turned around and ran towards the Papal Palace.
Lord Lorraine looked at his stellar back and muttered, "The canon is a basket, and you can put anything into it." ”
Patroud grimaced, a smile on his lips, and gave a thumbs up to Lord Lorraine.
As everyone watched, the War Fortress hoisted eight cannons up to the entrance of the Temple of Light, and then the soldiers pushed them into the main hall.
Witnessing this scene, some people applauded, some looked as usual, some people disagreed, and some people kept drawing crosses on their chests.
The demons are approaching step by step, and the Vatino's war preparations are also non-stop, trains carry cannonballs and grenades to the front end of the railway being built, and the war fortress transports them to the Vatino.
In the space of a few days, the Vatino City was transformed into a large fortress, and all the basements, including the underground treasury and the mausoleum, every corner, were filled with wooden boxes filled with ammunition.
Even in front of the door of His Majesty's room in the Papal Palace, war supplies were piled up, leaving only a narrow passage.
After Lorraine finished inspecting the positions outside the city, he inspected the ammunition depots one by one, and patted the neat wooden boxes with satisfaction, the personnel were complete, the ammunition reserves were sufficient, and even the three groups of ghosts and six dragons had arrived.
Lorraine could be sure that he was ready, and the rest was up to the demons.
On October 23, the Semitic army met no resistance and reached a distance of thirty miles from the Vatino.
At the same time, the 400,000 northern clusters led by the Semitic general Orlandini staggered along the way amid accidents and elusive attacks by the Rumans.
They were short of supplies, and all they could pass was empty cities.
Orlandini had to spill his troops out in search of supplies over a wider area, and these forces were often attacked by the Joumans, so Orlandini had to divide his forces again.
But the Semitic army still slowly but surely rushed towards the city of Ruman, to the last pass north of the city.
Further on is the vast and rich Great Plains and ...... Rumane City.
