In this case, even though the Holy See was unhappy with Schindler in every possible way, he still had to pinch his nose and beg in the end.
Schindler was not willing to send troops. Even after several times in succession, the envoys of the Holy See lowered their posture, but they failed to impress Verina—or Her Majesty Dane.
If there is no actual benefit, why let Schindler send troops
The Holy Empire has always been used to being domineering, and they have always made demands and conditions on others, but it is very rare for them to be raised with conditions.
This can be seen from the actual interests they propose to divide to Schindler.
At first, they hoped to persuade Schindler to send troops in the name of righteousness, but they were resolutely rejected;
Then, they proposed to recognize the status of the Kingdom of Schindler, the status of the Marquis of the Bull, the recognition of the Duchy of Florence and the Marquis of the Bull as the dependent countries of Schindler, and the admission of Schindler into the The Holy Alliance is a condition in exchange for His Majesty Dane's willingness to send troops.
Isn't this a curse? When did Schindler need the recognition of the Holy Empire, and when did he expect to join the Holy Alliance
Moreover, how rude is it to take something that is already a Schindler as a condition in exchange for help
The arrogance of the Prome newcomer has reached an unreasonable level.
This time, Prime Minister Verina didn't even bother to speak in a formulaic and gentle tone, and directly taunted the Emperor of the Holy Empire, His Majesty the Pope, in front of the envoy.
"The ignorant and arrogant pope can't even see the current situation clearly, and has a pair of eyes in vain. The arrogant attitude, the so-called wisdom, is worse than the most stupid pig."
The messenger was so angry that he walked away.
But within a few days, he came back.
It is said that this time, the Promi newcomer reluctantly gave some conditions with a certain degree of sincerity.
He was slapped in the face repeatedly, but he still had to lick his face and ask for help. This meant that the recent situation of the Holy Empire had deteriorated to a certain extent.
And indeed it is. According to the latest information from the Black Hand Academy, military conflicts have already begun between the western and northern borders of the Holy Empire and two other countries, namely the Evert Federation and the Northern Alliance.
Evert, the sworn enemy of the Holy Empire, would not let go of this good opportunity to take advantage of the fire. At the same time, a few years ago, the Holy Empire invaded the Northern Alliance once in the name of 'jihad' and began to retaliate.
This puts the pressure on the Holy Empire very huge. If possible, they are completely unwilling to continue spending time with those undead in the east.
In other words, they are the countries most eager to end this war.
However, according to Dane, the Holy Empire can still let them go for a while.
…
This airing made the Holy Empire anxious.
At the beginning, after realizing the insatiable greed of the Schindlers, they did consider it, gave up asking for help, and tried to solve the problem by themselves.
Therefore, in the three directions of the Holy Empire, they all took a very active stance in an instant.
To the north, the frontier guards, who took the initiative to attack, repelled the forest elves' sentry troops, and instead of being counterattacked, they left the border and advanced a certain distance towards the forests and mountains in the north to deter them.
At the same time, the Legion of Lawbreakers stationed in the west also took the initiative to launch a series of counterattacks against the invading Evert Federation army, suppressing their momentum a lot.
The Holy Empire began to show its muscles through this way of showing its teeth and claws, warning its enemies-don't think that I am really so easy to bully now!
However, the more this happened, the more it seemed to expose the inner weakness of the Holy Empire.
But, no matter what, now Fengyun finally has a temporary pause. As a result, the army of the Great Lord Joberdin, who was stationed in Changlu County at the junction of Pudli and the Holy Empire, launched a fierce attack on the undead in front of him.
This is the will of His Majesty the Pope.
The army of the Holy Empire that launched the surge is still strong enough. Especially when the Lord Joberdin, the head of the Knights Templar, Paladin Richard, and the presiding judge of the Holy See, the Judge of St. John, the three legends spared no effort to participate in the frontal battlefield. , The undead army cannot withstand such a fierce attack.
Of course, among the undead army, there is also the existence of the legendary death dragon Cleostrasz. He is the second place of the Church of the Damned, and the death knight Sofield will be subordinate to him. This legendary bone dragon may only be slightly weaker than the demilich Kegel in terms of strength.
At least, in the heads-up, none of the three legends of the Holy Empire was his opponent.
But so what? Just like Kegel couldn't defeat the combination of four legends, it is impossible for the slightly weaker Kleus Straz to challenge three legends at the same time.
Under such circumstances, Cleostrasz certainly wouldn't go crazy and jump out to kill himself.
He hid in the army of the undead, and did not show his head no matter what, allowing the army of the Holy Church to attack wildly.
However, the number of undead is here after all. Although the three legendary powerhouses of the empire are very heavy weights on the battlefield, they cannot replace the role of the army after all.
Even with the high morale and fighting will of the church army, as well as the excellent individual combat ability, the Holy See's army wiped out a large number of undead, but its own losses were by no means rare.
After a month of war, the army of the High Lord Joberdine advanced to the city of Silver City.
From Changlu County to the Silver Capital, the army of the Holy Empire almost used the lives of the soldiers to wade out a bloody road. On this road, the undead army crazily attacked the human army, almost never stopping.
During this month's war, the army of the Holy Empire wiped out 150,000 undead and paid the price of 30,000 casualties.
At this moment, under the city of Silver and White, three legendary powerhouses of the Holy Empire, Joberdin, St. John, and Richard, had a dispute over the next battle.
The reason for the dispute is simple, there are at least 200,000 undead in the Silver City.
How to fight this
Fighting all the way from Changlu County, nearly half of the manpower was lost, and only 150,000 undead were killed, and that was still in the plains.
And the city defense facilities of the Silver City are not bad, and there are so many undead in the city. Can the Holy Empire win
What's more, even if he wins the battle and regains the Silver City, what price will he have to pay? I'm afraid the entire legion will be wiped out!
But even that doesn't mean they won the war.
