The roar of the giant cannon from the south bank of the Baishui River can be faintly heard in the dock square.
Cecil’s subjects know that it is the loud noise made by the unique magical weapons of the combat corps. Behind every loud noise means a devastating explosion, even if it is a large explosion, The pyrotechnics released by magicians cannot compare with the power of those giant cannons. Cecil Territory citizens who have seen the explosive power of Rebecca Crystal with their own eyes and have read analysis articles about this war in newspapers They believe that in the face of those powerful cannons, Count Horsman and the mob he gathered have no chance of winning - just like the aberrations that attacked the territory twice but were defeated twice, they have no chance of winning.
People of this era have not yet experienced the baptism of the information explosion, nor have they had the habit of questioning their lords. The impact of the lack of information sources and heavy labor life still remains on them, and they finally have contact. With access to external information channels, and the ability to think, they almost immediately and unconditionally believed everything the newspapers and lords said. They didn't care, and they didn't even think about the two total conspiracy groups organized by Count Horsman. What exactly does an army of 70,000 people mean? Since the lord said he can win, he will definitely win.
With the advancement of educational work and cultural development, this situation will definitely change one day, but at least at this stage, this almost blind trust and following is what ensures the unity and high morale of the Cecil people. necessary conditions.
People from less than half the city arrived near the dock square, listening to the roar of artillery fire from upstream, but Cecil's outstanding and effective discipline still restrained those territorial citizens who had work tasks. Most people You should stay at your job, continue to do your job, and wait for tomorrow's "offline" to announce the latest situation on the front line.
A pair of pale golden illusory eyes floated above the south wall. Its color was extremely light and almost completely blended with the background of the sky. After a few seconds, these eyes were illuminated by the power of the Holy Light. The condensed eyes gradually dissipated.
In a small patch of dense forest outside the southern city wall next to the Dark Mountains, an old man wearing a white priest robe with gold trim and a triple crown with complex patterns slowly opened his eyes, a touch of light gold The brilliance flashed in his eyes.
"It's really surprising that this city is still so peaceful even when it is shrouded in war and the invading enemies are more numerous than the entire city's population..." The old man wearing a priest's robe I couldn't help but admire, "I really don't know what kind of deceptive methods that Duke Gawain Cecil used to make the city so orderly..."
The man next to the old man A middle-aged priest couldn't help but shook his head: "I'm afraid the people in the city don't even know the news about the war. If they knew what kind of army was attacking their city, they would have fled long ago. ."
"Using deception and deception... This is in line with the Duke's behavior of protecting heretics," the old man said with a gentle and indifferent expression, "Presumably those who violatedIn accordance with the will of the Lord, sinners who believe in heretical gods should hide in the city now... Everyone, come with me, it is time for those heretics to recognize the reality and realize that even if they flee to the south, they will hide in the Cecil city. There is no way to escape the Lord's punishment. "
As the old man spoke, he walked out of the forest, and behind him, heavily armed figures came out of their hiding places one after another.
They were a total of twelve Holy See knights with powerful Holy Light power surging in their bodies. They wore sacred enchanted armor made of fine gold and light cast iron. Outside the armor, they also wore pale golden cloaks embroidered with Holy Light mottos. They The enchanted sword in his hand is surging with the original and pure power of the Holy Light. Even the war horse under his crotch is covered in armor made of the highest quality stainless steel - every knight here has high-level strength and rich experience. With their skilled cooperation and their luxurious equipment, they can persist for a long time even if they face a legend!
These are the powers that the Holy Light Church is most proud of. This "healing" church that believes in the Holy Light and is dominated by priests can become the strongest church in Anzu. The powerful Holy See knights not only have the power of the Holy Light, but they are also skilled and strong warriors. They use special Methods to promote the power of the Holy Light - usually by chopping people who do not believe in the Holy Light to death
The old man wearing a gold-rimmed priest's robe, Bishop Lemont of the Southern Diocese of the Holy Light Church, looked at it with satisfaction. Take a look at the troops he brought - the Holy Light Church is weak in the southern region, but it is not without savings. Half of the twelve knights who have reached the highest level are reinforcements sent by the central diocese, and the other half are The strength of the Southern Diocese, these devout and fanatical warriors can fight to the last moment for their faith, and today is the time for these noble warriors to prove their faith to the Lord
Even for the founding of the Kingdom. Grand Duke, don’t destroy the great cause of the Lord!
The old man led his attendants and twelve knights out of the dense forest, and the majestic holy light burst out from them. Although there were only fourteen of them, they However, they exuded a powerful force like thousands of troops, and a presence that could not be ignored - these church combatants had no intention of hiding their whereabouts, they even showed off deliberately
Because their mission is to appear in front of this city openly - they know that there are legends guarding the city, and relying on team actions to reach the dense forest outside the city is the limit of high-level transcendent beings. If they want to get under the nose of legends, It's almost impossible to sneak into the city and destroy it, so it's better to show up boldly. And their mission is not to conquer the city - they just need to hold back the legend Gawain Cecil!
Bishop Lemont knew that the fighting in the northern area had begun. Now Count Horsman and his fifty thousand troops may have captured the Conde area and are marching southward along the Wilderness Avenue, while the west side along Earl Pepper of Whitewater RiverThey should also arrive in the Cecil Territory soon. It will not be difficult to capture this city that was founded less than a year after the 70,000-strong army united - even though the Cecil people built tall walls and there is the White Water River. It is a natural barrier, but even 70,000 people can surround this city.
Everything is a sure win, only Gawain Cecil, the legendary strong man himself, is a huge threat.
Lemont knew the quality of the "allied forces" gathered by Count Horsman. The southern border, which had been in peace for a long time, could not pull out many decent troops at all. They relied on numbers to crush them. Ordinary opponents are okay, but if they encounter setbacks, they will collapse immediately, and a legendary strongman can easily come and go in such a bad army. Once Gawain Cecil appears, he will plunder and kill the coalition forces. If you do something, or ignore the rules of the noble game and directly kill the nobles in the coalition, then the tens of thousands of troops may fall into chaos.
Ordinary nobles may not sneak attack and kill other nobles on the battlefield, but Gawain Cecil is different. He has done almost nothing since he rose from the coffin. Although it sounds funny to say that he has followed the rules of the nobles, the nobles in the southern region now all know this fact: the ancestor has violated the ancestral rules!
So in order to avoid this only accident on the battlefield, Bishop Lemont and his church knights must appear in the main city of Cecil during the fierce battle of the coalition forces and imprison Gawain Cecil. Drag it tight here!
As long as all the resistance forces of the Cecil people are disintegrated by the coalition forces, leaving only Gawain? Cecil will not be able to make any waves as a legend.
Bishop Lemont was silently thinking about how the Holy Light Church should carry out its activities in the southern diocese after the complete collapse of Cecil, an ancient and stubborn family. Then he raised his head and looked at the towering tower not far away. Cecil City Wall - The soldiers guarding the city certainly noticed the arrival of the uninvited guests. Now there were figures running back and forth on the wall. Bishop Lemont just looked at those running people quietly, with a gentle and gentle expression. And mercy.
He raised his hand, and a powerful holy light rushed into the sky - such an obvious provocation, the lord hiding in the city must have been able to see it.
Then he opened his mouth and prepared to use the magic of "Voice of Heaven" to shout, letting the people in the city know why the Holy Light Judgment would come to them: it was because they sheltered heretics. , a disaster caused by offending the God of Holy Light. .
But just when he was about to recite the prayer, a humanoid creature that was also emitting light and incomprehensible appeared on the wall not far away.
The creature was tall and terrifying, filled with the brilliance of magic. His body was like an amorphous ball of arcane energy, relying on an armor plate engraved with runes to maintain human health. Roughly speaking, he appeared in a floating form on the high city wall. Before he could speak, a powerful arcane lightning suddenly pierced the sky.
"It seems that what the lord said'You are the unfriendly guests," the incredible energy creature spoke, his voice rumbling like thunder, "Stop, you have invaded Cecil's land! ”
“Wherever the Holy Light shines, it is the Lord’s land! "Bishop Lemont clenched the long staff in his hand and looked at the energy creatures on the city wall with vigilance. He originally thought that the first one to show up must be the legendary lord, but he did not expect that it was an elemental creature or a magical creature. The creature appeared on the city wall, "I am Lemont, the southern bishop of the Holy Light Church. In the name of the Holy Light, I am here to negotiate with your lords! ”
“Negotiation? Kamel's voice rumbled, "Bringing twelve fully armed knights to negotiate?" And your swords have been unsheathed! "
"Because of what Cecil has done in the past period of time, we have to choose to face you with the highest alert," Bishop Lemont said loudly, "You have sheltered the Holy Light Church Exiled cultists, for the sake of the purity of the Holy Light, I was ordered to complete the judgment of those cultists. "
Kamail shook his head - in fact, he wanted to send a mocking expression, but he had no expression, so he could only shake his head: "Then it seems that you will return in vain. Your Excellency, those pagans in your mouth have passed the fair test of Cecil's law. They are innocent and are now legal citizens of this land. However, your actions are challenging Cecil's law. "
Bishop Lemont seemed to be waiting for this sentence - he needed a reason to make the knights' actions of "practicing the power of the Holy Light" seem a little more appropriate, and now Sisi Your people's behavior of completely shielding heretics and the words of that energy creature have given him reason: When will the lord's law be able to judge the regional bishop?
The bishop couldn't help but smile: "In that case. , we will have to resort to force. ”
The knights raised their swords one after another, and the surging holy light began to surge among them.
But before they launched the attack, Kamel had already spoken. : "Exactly, I can use you to test my new project. Hongguang unit, prepare to overload the capacitor! ”
