Chapter 575: The Dilemma of the Holy Empire

Views:

After all the undead in the east and west directions have been dealt with, the Kingdom of Schindler has entered the theater mode.

It is true that the lair of the Church of the Damned has been taken away, but it does not mean that the Scourge of the Undead is over.

After the Pudley Kingdom was destroyed, the number of undead entrenched in the Silver City was only tens of thousands at the beginning, and quickly expanded to tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.

The Holy Empire has gone shirtless.

In Changlu County, where the Holy Empire and the Pudley Kingdom meet, the army of the High Lord Joberdin has already fought several battles with the undead.

In the beginning, when Michaux and Cleostraz were still on the battlefield, the army of the Holy Empire fought very hard. At one point, Changlu County was breached, causing a large number of undead to flood into the empire .

However, things quickly changed for the better.

After all, the Holy Empire is not Puderry. As the most powerful country on the mainland, the Holy Empire is much stronger than Pudry, a third-rate country.

When the Knights Templar and the Judgment Order of the Holy See were dispatched collectively, and the two legendary powerhouses brought a considerable part of their elite troops to support the front line, the situation facing Lord Joberdin was greatly eased.

After several months of fighting, the army of the Holy Empire basically wiped out all the undead that invaded the empire, and re-captured Changlu County, built a line of defense, and began to fight against the continuous influx of people from the Pudry Kingdom. The army of undead began a protracted war.

It is indeed a protracted battle.

The quality of the army of the Holy Empire is not low, and the number is also large, but compared with the boundless army of the undead, the gap is still relatively large.

It is conservatively estimated that at least 700,000 of Pudri's population of more than 2 million have died. The corpses of these dead civilians and soldiers are the potential forces of the Cursed Church.

The boneyards that the Church of the Damned set up on the land of Pudri are continuously turning these corpses into soldiers.

It is not impossible for the nearly 70,000 army of the Holy See to defeat the over 200,000 undead army in front of them in one fell swoop, but the price will be very heavy, even so heavy that it will shake the foundation of the Holy Empire.

The Holy Empire has an army of 300,000 and a total population of more than 15 million. It is a superpower and its national strength is at its peak. But even so, losing 70,000 regular troops would be a catastrophic thing.

You know, their enemies are not only the undead.

In the past hundred years, the Holy Empire has almost always been at its peak. The defiant newcomers of Prome, they almost look down on any other country in the world. They are mortal enemies with the Evert Federation. Those wizards who believe in freedom and truth are heresies that the Holy See will never tolerate. The Northern Alliance under the control of the Druid Council is also at odds with the Holy Empire. In the Golden Bay, the Holy Empire is dealing with the old empire of Phekrosas and the Shire at the same time.

They make enemies everywhere and grab benefits everywhere. Apart from the group of younger brothers from the Holy Alliance, there is almost no country or force in this world that the Holy Empire has not offended.

In this case, there are enemies on all sides. Regardless of the fact that the Holy Empire has a regular army of 300,000 and a large number of reserve troops, in fact, a large number of Holy Empire troops have fixed garrison tasks. Yes, it is not easy to transfer away.

They were able to mobilize 70,000 troops, throw them into the eastern part of the empire, fight with the undead, and even draw the three legends, which can be regarded as doing their best.

These 70,000 people are finished, and the Holy Empire will definitely not be able to relax in the short term, and it is very likely that they will be robbed by surrounding hostile forces.

In this case, they are absolutely unwilling to fight alone against the undead power that curses the Church.

So, the envoys of the empire traveled across the ocean and came to Shawan Port, where they met the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, Ms. Verina, who had just returned from Broken Dragon Peak.

The meaning of the Holy Empire is very clear. They hope that Schindler can fulfill the duties of an 'ally' and jointly fight against the Church of the Damned.

The intelligence of Promi's rookie is not far behind. Although, it is impossible for them to know that Dane has controlled all the undead in the dark forest-this matter, except for Dane himself and the part of the soldiers he led to assault Nancy Royal Court, is clear. Only the green dragons of Capnos understand.

However, they were still able to get some relevant information. For example, the Hindlers have solved the troubles on Broken Dragon Peak and the undead in Blackwood City.

All in all, the Holy See knew that Schindler had the strength to move eastward.

It's just that, after solving the troubles they face, why should the Hindlerians save the Holy Empire

Verina asked His Majesty Dane for instructions, and Dane, who was busy building a cemetery base in New Nancy, replied directly with four words: none of my business.

Madam Prime Minister conveyed His Majesty Dane's intentions to the Holy Empire. Of course, it is impossible to pass on the original painting of the four words that Dane said, and it has been modified to some extent.

"Schindler has just solved the domestic troubles after a great war. He has eliminated hundreds of thousands of undead in total, and also solved the main force of the Church of the Cursed. Even the leader of the Church of the Cursed, the demigod Lich Kegel is His Majesty the King. I personally killed it. We have made enough contributions in this war, and now we need to recuperate, and we are temporarily unable to send troops to the east. Moreover, we believe in the strength of the Holy Empire, and you will definitely be able to solve Pudry's problem. Send troops It is indeed difficult, but if you need anything else, you can communicate with us at any time."

The words spoken in this official diplomatic tone have almost made it clear that the Schindlers will not care about the life and death of the Holy Empire.

It is said that when the words spoken by Prime Minister Verina reached the ears of the Holy Pope far away in the City of Holy Light, this honorable majesty rarely dropped his glass.

However, no matter how angry His Majesty the Pope was, they still had to pinch their noses and come to the door again and again, hoping that Schindler could send troops to help.

It's just the undead of Pudry, but it won't force the powerful Holy Empire into this. However, according to the information given by the intelligence network of the Black Hand Academy, there are signs of turmoil on both the western and northern borders of the Holy Empire. It is said that several frontier regiments of the Evert Federation, as well as the Sentinels of the Northern Alliance, seem to have some movements.
