The grand and magnificent city of Pompeii was proceeding neatly and bustlingly. The city was filled with a tense atmosphere, and the shadow of war hung over everyone's hearts.
Some civilians stood on the top of the city. Most of them were yellow and emaciated, with a look of malnutrition. They held various tools in their hands to reinforce the walls of Pompeii. They are still tense and busy.
Ron, Juliana and a group of people stood on the top of the city and looked into the distance. When they landed on the civilians, everyone involuntarily looked away.
"Yesterday, I mobilized more than 100,000 civilians to strengthen the walls of Pompeii. I hope it will start to work!" Juliana said with a wry smile, "She doesn't think it will work, but for now, it can be done. That's all there is!"
Thinking that Pompeii was about to go through another war, everyone felt heavy in their hearts. In wars, civilians were the ones who sacrificed the most.
Juliana sighed, "Over the years, the Holy Roman Empire has caused the people of Ebia to suffer. They didn't regard Ebia as their territory at all. They expropriated the people of Ebia. In a province, the taxation of the people of Ebia is several times that of other provinces. The people of Ebia are poor, but the oligarchs and nobles of the Holy Roman Empire are rich... The Holy See is not a good thing either. Churches are set up here, and people are forced to join the church, but the '11' tax can be levied on those congregants, that is, one-tenth of the income of the congregants is handed over to the Holy See! This is not counted as other taxes!"
"Holy Holy See, really hateful!" Vivienne's eyes flashed green. Although her injuries were almost healed, she was still relatively weak, and her walking was not very natural.
"After our uprising in Pompeii, the Ebian people who had been oppressed by the Holy See and the Holy Roman Empire rushed into the holy cathedral in the city angrily, destroyed these harmful teachings, and killed their congregants. There was a big commotion at one time! It can be seen that the Holy See is unpopular in Ebia!"
"The kingdom was first established. As the king of New Ebia, I tried my best to reduce their taxes, but the country is in trouble..." Juliana shook her head, "The current treasury is almost squandered."
After listening to Juliana's words, Ron had to admit that she was a good king, although sometimes she was too selfish, but generally speaking, she was quite considerate of the kingdom.
"It's a pity, only a few days of Ansheng's life have passed, and the war is coming again!" Mrs. Julian shook her head helplessly, "Will Pompeii be destroyed by war again?"
Everyone fell silent, after all, anyone can think of the result with their toes.
Kadina said bitterly, "The Holy See is so arrogant and domineering, is there nothing you can do about him?"
"Of course there is a way!" Kirbitt who was standing aside said slowly, "For such a large-scale battle that even involves the powerhouses of the Sanctuary, generally speaking, the House of Representatives will not sit idly by! It's a pity— "
Kirbit shook his head, "The speaker and senators of the House of Representatives are not here. They are all powerful in the domain of the gods, and their words are useful. The other members are strong in the domain of the sanctuary, and they will not care about these messy things. The Holy See ...fucking timing!"
Ron asked strangely, "Where did the speaker of the House of Representatives and the senators go? And where is Grandma Undine?"
"Hehe!" Corbitt shook his head slightly, "No one knows where to go, and Wendini didn't tell me, all I know is that the five powerhouses from the God's Domain of the Council have temporarily left the Noah Continent!"
"Leaving Noah's Continent?" Ron was slightly startled, "Then when will they come back?"
"I don't know!" Kirbitt said bluntly, "Among the five of them, there seems to be some kind of agreement that even close people cannot disclose their whereabouts, so even I don't know!"
Ron carefully chewed on Kirbitt's words, confirmed each other with Kay, and nodded slowly. Kay's grandfather also left the Noah Continent, so he was able to run out.
"It seems that the council is hopeless!" Juliana frowned tightly, with a look of uneasiness on her face, she sighed, "My lord, I'm afraid we are in big trouble, and Pompeii is also in trouble." If you can't keep it, I think, let's not make any plans, shall we?"
"Really?" Ron lowered his head and pondered for a while, then said loudly, "Passive defense has never been my character, if possible, I would like to take the initiative!"
"You mean to take the initiative to attack?" Juliana smiled, "My lord, do you think we will have such strength? Our army is completely different from their elite army! Even if we have several times more people than them, It may also be a complete failure... "
"How do you know if you haven't tried it?" Ron was ambitious, with a confident light in his eyes, "We will take the initiative to attack and find a way to ambush them, and use the advantage of numbers to fight a beautiful battle of annihilation. , I think it is still possible!"
Juliana laughed and said nothing, but at this moment, Kay jumped up.
"That's right, we can't always be beaten passively, Ron, leave this matter to me, no matter if it is a strong man in the sanctuary or any opponent, I, Kay, will definitely tell him to come and go!" Upon hearing about the battle, Kay said When he got excited, he slapped his chest loudly.
"Okay then!" Seeing that Kai, the sanctuary monster, had such a strong fighting spirit, Juliana couldn't bear to dampen his enthusiasm, and nodded in agreement. In fact, she was also looking forward to a miracle in her heart.
"Lauchlan!"
"exist!"
The heavily armed swordsman Lau Kelun stood up and saluted with a "snap".
Juliana said in an unquestionable tone, "Lauchren, I order you to lead the 80,000 Ethiopian army to follow Lord Kay of the Beamon clan to take the initiative to attack and ambush their squad. Remember, don't follow Their main force is entangled, but they use the method of dividing and encircling to fight a beautiful battle of annihilation! Win soldiers, people's hearts and time for our Kingdom of Ebia!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Lauchran said loudly, "I promise to complete the task!" After speaking, he took the order and left with great strides.
Juliana sighed, "My lord, let's discuss how to defend Pompeii again!"
…
Kingdom of Ebia, Tearing Wind Basin.
The terrain of the Tearing Wind Basin is like a funnel, surrounded by mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is a typical pocket formation, and it is also a good place for ambushes. The 80,000 troops of Lachron, Kay, and Ebia are in ambush. here.
At the foot of the mountain, there are 80,000 troops stationed densely. There is only one road from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain. All the highlands in the Xifeng Basin are occupied by the Ebian army. They lie quietly in the grass and look down vigilantly. .
"Lord Kay, I'll go to inspect the military affairs first, and I'll come back and report to you immediately if there is any situation!"
In a huge tent, Laurent saluted slightly. As a general, his words were full of politeness, because he knew that the monster in front of him was extremely powerful, and he could be pinched with just one finger. die.
"Go, go!" Kay said nonchalantly, half lying on the long chair, "If you have anything to say, tell me directly. I'm not afraid of anyone in the sanctuary except the strong ones in the domain of God. You are Ron's subordinate, well, I will cover you!"
"Thank you, Lord Kai!" Lauchran saluted again, thinking that I was not Ron's subordinate, but he didn't say much to Kai, and walked out of the tent with his head down.
At this time, a soldier ran over quickly with a nervous expression.
"How's the situation?" Lauren asked, going up to him.
"My lord, I found an army ahead. They are dressed in white, well-equipped, full of energy, and powerful. They seem to be the vanguard army sent by the Holy See. They have marched to the outskirts of the Tearing Wind Basin, and they seem to be ready to come in! "
"How many of them are there?" Lauchran was startled and immediately asked.
"There are more than three thousand people!" said the soldier.
"More than 3,000 people! More than 3,000 people! Hehe, this is a god-given opportunity!" Hearing this, Lauchron gritted his fists, "I don't believe it, more than 80,000 people in our Ebian Legion are still fighting But there are more than 3,000 people in the Holy See? This time I will make them come and go!"
Excitement flashed in Lachron's eyes, "Immediately send the order, everyone is in position, ready for battle, wait for them to enter the Tearing Wind Basin, and follow my orders to attack at any time!"
"Yes! My lord!"
After Lauchlan gave the order, he turned and returned to the tent, and said to Kai with a flattering look, "Master Kai, our chance to make meritorious deeds has come!" He said what he learned.
"We must find a way to annihilate them all, leaving no one behind!" Lauchron said loudly.
"Okay, very good!" Kay stood up, and he squeezed his fists loudly, "It's very good, I don't have to move my muscles, this time I must kill and let them see how powerful I am than the Meng family." !"
When speaking, Kay's eyes showed a fierce look, like a ferocious beast, and he looked at Lauchran with fear.
…
"Lord Boulder, the Tearing Wind Basin is ahead!" At another foot of the mountain in the Tearing Wind Basin, a Holy See soldier with the appearance of a staff officer pointed to the Tearing Wind Basin and said, "According to the map description, the terrain here is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack , easy to be ambushed by the enemy, should we send someone to investigate?"
"no need!"
The Holy Knight Boulder of the Holy Knights leading the vanguard, the middle-aged man is tall and tall, like all the Holy Knights, his deep eyes are full of determination, they are a symbol of courage, loyalty, and strength.
"Aisya's army is vulnerable along the way, and they will run away as soon as they meet us, so they will never ambush us!" Boulder said, "We must speed up and kill those strongholds of heretics as soon as possible. , that place called Undercity!"
"However, it's better to be more cautious!" the soldier staff officer said cautiously.
"If I say no, I don't need it!" Boulder's tone was obviously a little unhappy, "Don't forget, we are an elite army, and we are incomparable with those ordinary Ebian troops. Hehe, he ambushed us? I still want to Ambushed by them, let's see who will fall in the end!" A smile appeared on Boulder's face.
"Yes, my lord!" The soldier staff officer couldn't persuade Boulder, so he had to carry out the order.
