Not to mention the possibility of not being able to capture the Silver City, nor worrying about how many people would have to die to capture the Silver City.
Even if the Silver City is conquered, does it mean that the natural disaster has been completely ended
That's really not necessarily the case.
With the Kingdom of Schindler claiming to have solved the troubles in the dark jungle and eliminated the headquarters of the Church of the Damned in Nancy's royal court; before the iron horse grasped, all the undead army attacking Florence were wiped out, and the black With Wood City also recovered, the power of the Cursed Church can only have sufficient influence in Pudry.
Of course, the current Silver City should be regarded as the current headquarters of the Cursed Church, but it does not mean that the Silver City has been recovered, all the undead inside have been killed, and everything is over.
At present, almost the entire territory of the Pudli Kingdom has been occupied, and there are flesh and blood workshops and psychic towers established by the Church of the Damned all over the country.
If the Holy Empire still has enough strength to wipe out the entire Pudli territory after breaking through the Silver City, it does mean that they have the ability to directly end the disaster.
They didn't.
As long as they fight the silver capital and fight to the end with 200,000 undead, then even if they win, there are only more than 40,000 Holy See fighters left, and it is estimated that more than 80 to 90% of them will be killed or injured.
There is no need to expect that there are still forces in the Holy Empire that can be deployed for reinforcements. The reason why they are so eager to rush out from Changlu County is because other borders of the empire are also under pressure now
Among the three legends of the Holy Empire, disagreements arose.
According to the meaning of St. John, the Grand Judge, and Richard Knight, the head of the Knights Templar, they do not want to continue the fight. They don't think that the power they have now can completely wipe out Pudri's catastrophe, and they don't know that a forced attack is a reasonable thing.
In fact, Joberdin, who stood on the opposite side of them, also agreed with the opinions of the other two colleagues.
but…
"The will of His Majesty the Pope..." Joberdin said with a wry smile, "What can we do? Starting from Changlu County, His Majesty the Pope strictly ordered an all-out attack. The situation in the country has indeed reached a very bad point, and Xin De The Lyle people are stubborn and don't let go, and they have no intention of rushing to help."
St. John said: "Your Majesty is not here. He doesn't know what the situation on the front line is like. We can't just sacrifice the empire and the warriors of the church on this battlefield that is destined to be impossible to win."
Richard also said: "I don't know why the Schindlers are unwilling to come to support, but I can only say that we need them. As far as the current situation is concerned, Schindler is the only reinforcement we can count on Yes. I think we need to communicate with His Majesty about this matter, even if we have to pay some price, we still need Schindler's reinforcements."
"Okay..." Joberding said, "Since both of you share this opinion, let us have a talk with His Majesty to see if there will be any improvement in the matter."
…
Dane received an envoy from the Holy Empire at White Wolf Fort. He had just drifted from the sea, carrying His Majesty's latest request for help.
In this letter, the Holy Empire showed the greatest sincerity compared to the arrogance and rudeness of the previous few times.
After waving the messenger, Dane needs to discuss with his Prime Minister.
Verina took the lead and said: "I think we can accept the conditions of the Holy Empire. This time, their conditions are quite reliable. Moreover, I think this is the highest price that the Holy Empire can offer. No matter how much, I'm afraid that's unlikely."
"I think so too." Dane said, "It is of course no problem to allow the Lord of the Bulls and Florence to break away from the Holy Alliance in name and recognize them as Schindler's vassal states. However, they can promise , After destroying the Church of the Damned, the entire territory of the Pudley Kingdom will be handed over to us, and only Changlu County will be kept. This is really beyond my expectations."
This is the most attractive one among the conditions proposed by the Holy Empire, which is much more important than other conditions.
If Dane owns the Kingdom of Pudley, then the combined territories of Schindler, Pudry, Bull, and Florence would already be the Second Caesar Empire, which was once glorious, and more than half of it would have been reappeared. up!
Back then, when the Second Caesar Empire collapsed, the land of this huge country was divided into four main parts.
Two of them are the independence of Florence and Pudri. One is the loss of control in the border region of Schindler.
As for the last one, it was annexed by the Holy Empire.
Leaving aside the part taken away by the Holy Empire, just after mastering the Pudli Kingdom, he is enough to have the capital to be called emperor.
There is still a huge gap between the two titles of emperor and king.
And in the appeal letter written by His Majesty the Pope, this point was mentioned cryptically. If Dane proclaims himself emperor, the Holy See will take an acquiescing attitude.
This indeed already has a very huge attraction.
In addition to these two points, the Holy Empire made some other promises, such as "paying Schindler's military expenses" and "giving war compensation after the war", these are also very affordable Conditions represent real money.
The war has dragged on for so long, and it's actually time to resolve it. The troops that Dane sent out to attack Duanlongfeng have now returned to the country, completed their rest and supplies, and are ready to leave at any time; the Patience Army has been stationed in the fir tree collar, and can enter the territory of Pudley Kingdom at any time.
Besides, in the past period of time, in New Nancy, Dane has built the base of the cemetery of the undead in a decent way.
After reorganization, the undead army produced from the base, together with the millions of undead awakened by the necromantic enchantment, is enough to integrate an army of more than 150,000 undead. You know, it will be an elite undead army. And if necessary, the more than one million undead in the dark forest can all be rushed out, forming the world's most powerful tsunami of undead!
With such power, Dane is not worried at all that the Holy See will repent - as long as they have such courage, they must be prepared to bear His Majesty Dane's wrath!
Even the Church of the Cursed, which has been beaten to death, and the Holy See are already unable to deal with it. What are they fighting against Dane
