King Ferry III, who was declared dead by the Holy Empire, reappeared in people's sights. No one knows how he survived the extremely dangerous Arctic ice field, but his appearance immediately attracted the attention of the Holy Court. The troops left behind by the Holy Empire were immediately dispatched to pursue Ferry III, intending to strangle him before he set off a new round of storms.
However, unlike being forced to go north, there is a mysterious army beside Ferry III today.
The main army of the Holy Empire was taken to Legrand by Pope Siold, and the remaining defenders could not stop Ferry III, who seemed to have changed a person.
He came out of the Pennine Mountains, wrapped in the chill of the ancient icefield, like a reforged sharp knife, tore open the blockade of the Holy Empire, drove straight in, and once again galloped over the territory of the old Blasey.
The water of the Kobia River is fast and rushing.
Ferry III stood in front of the Corbia River with a torch, looking at the direction of the former King Blasey. At the beginning, after his younger brother Charlie took refuge in the Pope, he relied on the support of the Holy See and nobles to march here. At the beginning, accompanied by his teacher, General Carl, he set fire to the palace and led the soldiers to retreat north.
After leaving in embarrassment, he finally returned to his hometown.
"Your Majesty, are you going to attack Azali?"
A knight came to Ferry III with a torch and leaned slightly towards him.
Behind them, the flames of war still raged. They reached the Corbia River in the morning and launched an attack on Nader Castle on the river. At this time, the war situation had already favored them, and the soldiers guarding were not so strong against the former King of Blasey.
After all, the time when the Holy Empire was established was too short, and they didn't have time to erase the mark of Blacy from the Blacy people. The Holy Empire and the Blasians are two completely different concepts, and as time passed, the Blaises had to bow their heads to the Holy Court personnel under the Holy Empire, and people naturally recalled once being a Blaise. day.
When night fell, the deacon-bishop of the castle was pushed from the tower by the mutinous soldiers, and he took the power he had just enjoyed, and fell into a mud on the cold stone slab.
The drawbridge was lowered and Ferry III's army began to advance into Nader Castle.
They recaptured the first important castle.
"Do not."
Looking at the direction of the old palace, Ferry III slowly shook his head.
"We will go back, but not now."
As the core of the empire, Azeri is the most heavily defended place in the Holy Empire today. The reason why they did not support Nader City and watched Nader City retaken by Ferry III was because the army was not strong enough to divide the troops. But if Ferry III really wastes his precious time attacking the strongest imperial fortress, I am afraid that the Holy See will be very happy.
Ferry III turned his horse and led his soldiers into Nader Castle.
"We want to wake up Blasey, there shouldn't be any Holy Empire on this land, it's Blasey, just Blasey."
The unextinguished fire was blazing, and the eyes of the former fugitive monarch were cold.
Ferry III is well aware of where their strengths lie now.
In order to completely destroy Legrand, Pope Theold used religious fanaticism to launch the Holy Army movement. But religious fanaticism is not eternal, and no one knows better than he what a commoner is. Faith is valuable, but what if the price of faith is survival
Supplying an army of nearly 100,000 people requires too much manpower and material resources, almost squeezing out the milk and blood of the entire empire. Ferry III, as the former King of Blasey, no one knows Blasey's economic strength better than him. The joy of victory would make people willingly bear the burdens if Siold can take Legrand as quickly as possible.
However, Legrand held on.
They have withstood all the high pressure brought by the huge army of more than 200,000 people, and in turn put the pressure of organizing such a huge army on the Holy Empire.
The Black Death that broke out last year has had a huge impact on Blasey's economy, and as the war was dragged into the mud by Legrand, it became increasingly difficult for civilians to bear the heavy tax burden. People believe in gods because they want to ask gods to save them from suffering. But the gods not only did not save them, but pushed them into the abyss, so why should they believe in gods
The voice of protest began to spread, from small to loud.
In the end, it was not the local old nobles who took the opportunity to riot, not the rioting commoners, but a young girl.
On a holy Sabbath, she walked to the church in a long black dress and recited aloud a poem left by a poet who had been identified as a heretic in the previous witch hunt:
"We have grieved the weak who were innocently despised
We have become the executioners of slavery's knees
We salute the utter ignorance, the bull-headed folly
We kiss dumb idiots and show infinite admiration
We bless the glimmer of corruption..."[1]
The young girl's act was astoundingly brave, and she shocked everyone with her steadfastness and fearlessness as she read aloud in the square in front of the church. The sun was pouring down on her beautiful face, and the resolute look in her eyebrows was enough to make all the knights on the prostrate throne ashamed.
Beginning with a psalm banned by the Holy Court, she displays a wit and eloquence rare for women of this age. She gave a sharp speech, accusing the Holy See of all kinds of corruption in the church since the Holy See established the Holy Empire, accusing the "witch hunt" of becoming a weapon for embezzling property, and accusing the Holy Army movement of causing people to go bankrupt...
She was the sweetheart of the poet who died at the stake, Claire.
The lover withheld her name in all letters to protect her. And when the people of the empire were sinking in the abyss, she stood under the sun and used the lover's poems of anger and sadness as a weapon to sound the alarm for everyone.
The local church quickly arrested her, but an angry crowd soon surrounded the church, forcing the local bishop too late to burn her at the stake.
This brave Miss Weiya was the fuse, and the first head-on conflict broke out between the civilians and the church, and the stalemate was deadlocked.
After hearing about this, Ferry III immediately made a decision. For Ferry III, they needed a banner, someone legendary enough to be the symbol of their revival movement.
Next actions:
Rescue Via.
…
The castle is splendid with towers.
The night was deep, and a group of people shrouded in black robes hid in the shadow of Hrid City. On their dark burqas were uniformly embroidered cross patterns of blood and white, and on their sleeves was a sharp sword. These indicate that they are the "arbiters" of the Holy Court. This is the sword of the Holy Court hidden in the shadows.
Their nature is different from those of the frontal Holy Court of the Knights of the Temple, they hide in the dark, are responsible for cleaning some difficult targets, and perform some unusual tasks.
Before that, the Inquisition had wanted to use the secret law left by the Holy See when King Legrand was baptized to assassinate Purlan. But that assassination was not only unsuccessful, but also cost the Holy Court a group of judges.
After the failed assassination, the Adjudicator went dormant and stopped moving. It was not until the outbreak of the Holy Army movement that they united in the city of Herid in Legrand to assist the chief of the trial bureau in guarding the shrine that was about to be built.
Originally, they were supposed to help the vanguard movement of the Eternal Knights while assisting the defense of the city.
However, when they arrived at Hereid City, Legrand's group of mysterious alchemy knights also arrived near Hereid City, eyeing them.
The person leading the alchemy knight is Queen Keya, the Queen Mother of Legrand, who is also an astrologer, and Illinois. She was not in a hurry to attack the powerful Hrid City guards, but chose to attack the city suddenly when they made a move, or attack their transport team.
It is not that the judges have not thought about solving the brains of the Alchemy Knights first, Illinois, but the particularity of the half-undead and half-alchemy products of the Alchemy Knights makes them have strong mobility during the day and night, and as astrology The teacher's Illinois also has a very keen sense of smell. The Adjudicator's actions ended in failure several times, and he finally had to stick to Hrid City.
This has led to the fact that since the beginning of the war, the adjudicator has been suppressed in the city of Hrid, and it is difficult to support other Holy Army movements.
The sharp dark blade of the Holy Court was firmly locked in the scabbard by Illinois, and it was like a waste.
Inside Hrid City, today's guards are extraordinarily strict.
Today is the most critical day for the construction of Shenzuo Pier.
Pope Theold's secret letter arrived today.
Siold ordered that the repair of the last link of the pier of the Throne was completed tonight, and there was no need to wait for the opportunity to directly open the Throne and summon the holy ship Tianzhou.
Although the news is tightly blocked, no one knows whether the outstanding astrologer Queen Illinois will notice anything.
The lights were shining brightly, and on the pier, the director of the trial bureau took his sword and sat in person.
An adjudicator passed by the city wall, and he turned to look at the rolling hills outside the city. Heaven and earth are dark, and the mountains are like beasts, crawling.
He looked back and moved on.
In the shadow of the mountains outside Herid City, the alchemist knights stood silently under the leadership of the black-haired queen. The bones in armor were entwined with a faint blood color and black mist. During this period of time, they not only suppressed the adjudicator inside and outside the city, but also massacred the Holy Army who landed one after another from Port Hered.
Without the existence of this alchemy knight, the pressure on Legrand in the previous battle of Douro would have been even greater.
The armor was icy cold, and Illinois looked at the castle with an arc knife.
"teacher."
The Keya scholar leaned over slightly.
"They started."
