The heat of July has taken a bit, but the morning sun is unusually soft. The newborn morning sun seems to be within reach, and the dew drops on the grass blades on the roadside reflect the clear light, like the pure dream of a sleeping baby.

It was the twelfth of July, and the Duchy of Anlan, which had been incorporated into the Holy Principality of Ian, was now a border county of the Holy Alliance, bordering a small part of the Misty Swamp to the north, the western branch of the Cast Iron Mountains, and a very important strategic position.

In the mountains on the border of Anlan County, groups of tough soldiers are scattered in small groups in a hidden valley. They were dressed differently and were clearly not from the same army. But it has the same iron-blooded aura and the white thorn tree pattern on the military badge on his chest.

They are elite soldiers from the countries of the Holy Alliance, and they are tasked with launching the "Illuminating Light" offensive. Although it is still unknown whether the high-ranking members of the countries under the Holy Alliance will be willing to do so, under the general trend that the Church is about to unify the continent, they have all done their best to send the strongest in the army according to the requirements of the Holy See.

This was the case with the Duke "Tulip" of the Empire of Buyada.

As the top powerhouse with the legendary professional inheritance of "Juggernaut", Duke "Tulip" is one of the important figures in the military of the Buyada Empire, and he was also named by the Church of Light to participate in this "Shining Light" offensive. However, even as one of the most important members of this army, he still did not know where the so-called "newly opened corridor area" of the Holy See was located.

However, this is not the only question that puzzles him.

The eavesdropping "crow" he encountered in the Necromantic Wilderness had an extremely strong demonic aura in his body, and he could almost confirm that it was one of the high-level demons from Purgatory.

However, since the "Iron Gate" was blocked thousands of years ago, there are no traces of mid-level or above demons on the entire continent, and the location where high-level demons were found is in the Necromantic Wilderness, which makes Duke "Tulip" always have a lingering cloud in his heart.

"Lord Duke, what do you want?" a soft voice next to him suddenly remembered, and the young priest in the embroidered gold and white robe sat down.

"Your Excellency," Duke "Tulip" nodded slightly, "I don't know what happened here?"

Since the Victory Day celebrations, Innedir, the "Servant of Light", has been officially recognized as the successor of the "Holy White Tower". Due to the archbishop's advanced age, some of his power had been gradually transferred to this brilliant student, and Innedir's position in the church had risen.

In this "Shining Light" offensive, Inedil was the highest representative sent by the Church, and it is said that he was the only person in this army who knew the location of the corridors.

"In the next war, I will have to rely on the Duke a lot," Innedir said with a smile, "I am new to the army, and if there are any shortcomings, I hope that the Lord will not hesitate to advise." ”

"Your Excellency, you are gracious, and if you need it, I know what you need. The Duke of "Tulip" did not dare to slack off. Now that there is endless internal turmoil in the Inquisition, the three deputy inquisitors do not have an absolute advantage; although the prestige of the Templar Knights Florin is high, he is quite old-fashioned and will never abuse his power; and the archbishop is almost old, and the handsome young man in front of him is likely to gradually grasp the power of the entire Church of Light.

Innedil smiled, Shi Li got up, and left.

The halo around him gradually spread like ripples of water, just like the sun god walking in the morning light.

In the southeast of Vanuna City, the military tent stretches for ten miles, and the flags are spread like clouds and winds.

However, the atmosphere in the king's tent was not as high-spirited as it looked, and even a little dull.

"Ladies and gentlemen," Nacini on the main seat said in a deep voice, "Although there have been a lot of enemies in the battle in the past few days, but they have not been able to break through the defense line for a long time, I wonder what plan you have for the Dao?"

After only a few months, Nacini is now a completely different person. The heroic young prince had become a majestic and calm king, his hair color had turned a little gray, and a few faint crow's feet appeared at the corners of his tired eyes.

"We didn't make a big mistake in our plan for the decisive battle," explained Dios, who was at the forefront of the battle, "but the Knights Templar's reckless resistance was beyond our expectations. ”

Dios, who was trusted by Nacchini, is now an important general in the army. Ellen Elendil was one of the best military generals of the Church of Light, holding the city of Elendil against the waves of attacks of the Snowton Empire, but still standing.

His excellent military qualities, familiarity with the Church of Light, and the super fighting ability of the "Purgatory Fortress" quickly impressed his comrades, and he did not live up to Nacini's trust in the slightest.

Hearing his speech, the generals present all nodded, and a middle-aged general added, "This shows that the 'Shining Light' offensive may indeed be something, and the 'Knights Templar' is so desperate to entangle us." ”

Nacini smiled bitterly and shook his head, his lips moved, but the intention of the class teacher to return to help was still unspoken. This kind of childish thinking will not only be useless, but will also affect the morale of the soldiers. Although he was in an urgent mood, he could only think about it in his heart.

So far, his army is mainly divided into three parts, the northernmost is the Northern Expeditionary Army led by him, accounting for about 50% of his total strength, and all of them are the elite of the Holy Blood River Theater and the Snowton Mobile Legion, and the southeast is the "Iron Wall Pass Theater" led by Catroman, accounting for about 30% of the total strength, and protecting the southeast and southeast directions of the Nacini territory. The remaining army that had been concentrated in Norman City was the least combat-ready and least outnumbered of the three, and now they had to face the full force of the entire Holy Alliance.

Originally, according to the plan designated by Nacini and his staff, the Northern Expeditionary Army immediately launched a decisive battle, and even if it could not capture the city of Vanuna immediately, it would crush the main force under the command of Jonas in a short time. In this way, they could safely return to the "Holy Blood River Theater", but the "Knights Templar", known as the first knights on the mainland, stopped so regardless of casualties, but they crushed this attempt. Now, what should we do?

"There's no other way. Nacini straightened his tired waist, stroked the sword of the god of war left by his father, looked around at the generals in the tent, and interrupted their discussion with a loud voice.

"If they can block regardless of casualties, then we can attack regardless of casualties," he stood up and threw down the order that was about to be soaked in countless blood, "In three days, regardless of any casualties, we must break through the defense line of the 'Knights Templar' head-on!"
