Turning a new page in the history of the construction of Skyrim Province, the lords of Solitary Castle have decided to begin building a magical communication from Solitary Keep to the other city lords of Skyrim Province.

Solomon was also hired as a consultant in Solitary Castle, and the Jimenez family signed a contract with Arya in Solitary Fort to use Solitary Fort as a starting point to lead the construction of magic relays along the way to other cities in Skyrim Province, which were used as relay transmissions for reading, so that longer distance transmission could be carried out, so that multiple relays could form a route, and the mining rights within ten kilometers of the route were used as collateral, and the usual flat mine was divided into two as payment of loan interest.

As for the route, of course, it was the explorers assigned by the Jimenez family, who had already explored some areas in the past few months, looking for places with magic crystals or black rocks, so that future relay routes could pass as far as possible.

In addition to this, Solomon also suggested that Arya build a continental highway in Skyrim Province, and that there was rapid communication, but if things could not be transported, it would not work.

Thanks to this cooperation, Jimenez grew rapidly in the Skyrim Province, surpassing other merchants who were also granted concessions to operate in other provinces of the Maid Empire.

The Pacification Raider Army formed by the Mader Empire finally marched to Morrowind Province three months later, and fought a fierce battle with the coalition of wild elves and black elves.

However, the rebellion did not go as smoothly as expected, and the Elven coalition forces in Morrowind Province seemed to have undergone a metamorphosis, and their tactics became more sophisticated than before, and they knew how to form various squads to fight the Imperial army in difficult terrain, rather than fighting head-on confrontation as before.

The Imperial Army fought with it, and it felt like it was stuck in a quagmire.

Originally, the Maide Empire was still full of confidence in this quelling of the rebellion. Because judging by the course of previous battles. Although the single soldiers of the Elven Coalition are slightly weaker. However, their forces will never be comparable to that of the Empire, and under continuous attrition, they will be defeated in the face of the Empire's abundant manpower until they retreat to the Summer Twilight Islands and go into hiding again.

The Senate even had an idea to build a navy across the strait between the mainland and the archipelago, and completely wipe out the nests of wild elves. Although it may not be able to destroy all the wild elves, if successful, it can break the southern border troubles that have plagued the empire for many years, and force these wild elves to flee to other continents.

However, it was not good for the Imperial Army to leave the division, and after the former army entered the Morrowind Province, it was lured by the wild elves, and it broke away from the rear army and the Chinese army, and then was dispersed by the other side in the middle of the way, and then suffered a lot, and in the mountainous and dense forest environment of the Morrowind Province, they fought a large number of small-scale battles with many elven soldiers.

Although even so. The forces of the Imperial front army are still superior to the elven coalition forces that hold them back, but in a complex environment. Although the total strength is at a disadvantage, they can gather in a relatively familiar environment, seize the opponent's forces when they are scattered, and strike at them, forming a local force advantage, at least not weaker than the opponent's confrontation.

With the same force, the elves have a much greater advantage than the Imperial Army in this environment, although they are not as good as the "instructors" on the Summer Twilight Islands, some of the new tactics they are using now, and some new weapons are passed on to them by the "instructors".

However, it is still better than the Maide Imperial Army, coupled with the amplification of the environmental advantage, it is not just a chip, and with the new tactics, it suddenly caused the former army of the Empire to be defeated and retreated in embarrassment.

Due to the unfamiliarity with the terrain and the presence of pursuers, the retreat was attacked several times, and in the end, the casualties of the former Imperial army were said to exceed 40%, which is shocking.

The general in charge of the former army, who was said to be the nephew of a senator of the Senate, might not have been put to death, but even his uncle could no longer guarantee him to sit in that position.

It is also said that the elves have some new weapons in their hands, which are not only stronger than the elves' traditional archery, but can also be fired continuously.

The front army of the crusading army was frustrated, and after joining up with the middle and rear armies, they cautiously did not dare to advance further, but decided to go straight to the capital of Morrowind Province along the way, intending to force the elves to a decisive battle, and then consume them with the usual tactics they used to use before.

However, the news of the defeat of the former army reached the center of the empire, and the Senate was divided into three factions quarrelling, one faction advocated continuing the war, and now the former army was only frustrated, and there was a large army, even if this did not work, it could also be recruited in other provinces, such as the Nords in Skyrim Province, and they must also recapture Morrowind Province, the important thing is not to set an example for other provinces, otherwise if the alien races in other provinces rebelled, the empire may collapse.

The neutral faction did not say anything, while the other faction thought that it was okay to consider making peace with the wild elves, promising them that they could henceforth live peacefully in Morrowind Province and freely travel to and from any province of the Empire, and then reclaim control of Morrowind Province decently, at least superficially.

When the news reached Skyrim Province, Arya also began to worry, because if the crusading army failed again, and the elders of the main battle had the upper hand, then they might really recruit to fight in other provinces.

Compared to the war in the Beesda plane, the war in the Kaos plane itself is also going on.

The Church called on believers to fight holy war, declaring that it was an insult to the gods for the nations to demand that the Church renounce its influence on the world.

Asturias, Titania, and Aurora repeatedly supported the alliance of Saxon border lords, saying that they were right to demand that the church abandon clerical power over secular power.

In the end, the Border Lords' temporary allies launched an attack on the Church.

It stands to reason that even if the armies of some local lords outnumber the holy armies of the Church, they are too far apart from each other, but the armies of these border lords are armed with the strength of the three kingdoms, and they need to sell a large amount of overstocked goods anyway, and arms are one of them.

It's a pre-investment in these Frontier Lords, but if you can successfully dismantle the Church of Light. It can be taken back from the Saxon and the Church of Light.

Fierce fighting soon broke out. The Border Lords not only sent their own combined armies. And it was joined by the so-called Three Kingdoms Volunteer Army, which, of course, was not at all composed of volunteers who volunteered to liberate the Saxon people from the slavery of the Church, but of mercenaries, large and small.

The main reason why the countries did not directly participate in the war was that although the Church of Light was to be defeated, the Church had been entrenched in the Azure Continent for many years, and there were many believers in any country, and they had a certain name by taking advantage of the resistance of the border lords.

But even so, the Church of Light did not expect the war to be so unfavorable to them, so they had to send cardinals to the war early.

In previous wars. Armies with the support of the Church are often very difficult to deal with, because the priests sent by the Church will give a lot of help to the army, heal the lightly wounded, add auxiliary buffs to the army, and even in individual armies, the priests of the Church of Light are still invisible chief staff officers, which is not surprising, the Church of the God of War has established a special academy to study war battles, and also uses the elven magic chess used by magicians.

Although the Church of Light does not have the enlightenment of the Church of the God of War, it also has the same internal training of specialized tactical talents. They will be put into the Knights Templar after they have completed their studies.

This pattern of warfare is often the case not only in Kaos, but also in other planes. For example, the same is true of the Matthew Church in the Falmalik continent.

But with the spread of muskets, the intensity of war has increased tenfold compared to before, and the role of the priest of the church, although still enormous, no longer has the influence of overwhelmingly defeating one army over another, because in the large number of muskets, With the improvement of artillery and source guns, the intensity of the war has greatly reduced the healing effect of the church, because the injuries on the battlefield may make their magic not enough at all, and they have to supplement it with the help of doctors who did not pay attention to it, which indirectly led to the development of medicine and herbology, which itself is also separated from the branch of magic research, potions.

It should be said that the bravery of the Knights Templar was still noticeable in the face of the attacks of the border lords, but the other side had the advantage of a large number of troops, and the Knights Templar had always had only more than 10,000 men.

As they rushed at their enemies, they were hardly able to be hurt by ordinary muskets, as these elite Templars were the most reliable force outside of the Church of Light, made up of samurai who had been loyal to the Church since childhood.

They have spent a lot of wealth on the church, and almost every person on their bodies is equipped with more equipment than the original Modo White Feather Legion, and the captain-level samurai has one or two legendary-level weapons in their hands, and these holy warriors themselves are far more powerful than ordinary warriors, to put it mildly, if you put it in the past, an ordinary paladin or paladin in it has the strength to become a squad leader or squadron leader in the armies of various countries.

With the help of such a force, supplemented by divine magic, when they collectively charged on the battlefield, few of the strong tribes of the orcs in the past could resist head-on, and the only ones who could confidently block it were the Orphens.

However, this war was only a last samurai tragedy, and although even ordinary musket bullets could not penetrate the armor of these heavily armored knights with divine power, the development of artillery, especially the explosive shells that appeared in the Ambergris War, was still enough to inflict heavy damage on these powerful knights.

When the Templars began to charge from a distance, they were greeted by a baptism of artillery fire, even with their strong faith and bravery that were not afraid of sacrifice, but under the bombardment of hundreds of guns, the formation was still in disarray.

Of course, they did not flinch, and still stubbornly rushed towards the army of the border lords, but then the appearance of the source force gun troops caused them to trouble them again, and these source force guns only had time to shoot one round under their charge, so they could only retreat, and the cannon fodder army of the lords could resist.

But this is the one that creates intertwined power grids, the frost that acts as a double effect of lag and damage, and the wall of fire that forms a barrier of flames.

In the end, less than a third of the Templars were left alive to storm the Lords' positions, and even that third did great damage to the Lords.

However, under the repeated attacks, the buffs on the poor Templars had long since been canceled out by magic, if not seventy-seven-eighty-eight, then completely depleted, and turned into corpses lying on the road.

The high-quality heavy armor was also severely damaged by the dual effect of the combination of cannon fire and the source gun, making it difficult for ordinary musket bullets to penetrate and become penetrable, perhaps requiring a few more shots, but as long as they happened to hit the obvious damage on their bodies, these Templars could only fall.

The Templars were unable to break through the Lords' ranks, and most of them were killed.

This forced the cardinals, who had not made a move all along, and were wary of the intervention of the opponent's legendary powerhouse, to strike first, otherwise the opponent's army might go straight in.

However, as soon as the cardinal made a move, the "volunteer army" also appeared strong people to confront it, although their number was only similar to that of the cardinal, but they were completely unknown to the cardinal, that is to say, it was certainly not from the native plane of Keos, and most of the strong people here were registered in the church.

Indeed, these strong men who participated in the war came from the strong people they came into contact with in other planes that these countries had set foot in, and in those planes, the forces that could be directly or indirectly influenced by the countries were different, and naturally there were also those who were willing to serve them, just like Brandy's Phantom Mercenary Group became a branch of the Creation God Group.

These planes may only have one or two soft-boned legendary powerhouses who are willing to serve Asturias, Titania, and Aurora, but they add up to a force that is enough to contain the cardinals.

At this point in the war, the victory or defeat was already obvious, and the development of the magic research of the various countries greatly changed the mode and process of the war, and after reaching the point of industrial production, the lethality produced by the combination with ordinary people made the church's influence on the war in the past greatly faded.

On the strong side, with the joint efforts of all countries, even the strong people of their own countries do not need to be dispatched, but only the strong people of other planes can cause some trouble to the Church of Light.

Although there are still strong people in the Church of Light who have not made a move, such as their Pope, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that even if there is a Pope's shot, what can be done, just Titania's Zhenguo armed can offset the Pope's shot, but the end of using the Zhenguo armed is not much better than accepting the gods, Titania's previous emperor Sauron had to abdicate because of the use of Zhenguo Armament, and even so, his lifespan has been greatly shortened, it is not surprising that he will live three or four hundred years old with the strength of his legendary powerhouse, but he will be inferior fifteen years after abdication。

Things have come to this point, and the church can only go that way, opening a passage to the heavenly realm at the cost of its own lives and the lives of its followers, just like the Cult of Light in the Ligurian plane. (To be continued.) )
