Isabella said bluntly, "Frankly confess our purpose to Roland Wimbledon, and tell him the church... No, the truth about the Witches Union, and the beginning and end of the four hundred-year-old War of Divine Will."
Since Zero became the Pope, the library has become a place where all the pure who belonged to the Privy Council can go, and the Battle of Divine Will is no longer a secret for them.
"What if he doesn't believe it?"
"He'll believe it, just take him to walk around the hallucinations of the Church of Reflection, and he'll know everything!"
"He may also see this as a witch's trick." Zero said calmly, "Let's take a step back, assuming Roland knows the truth about the Federation, he will definitely put his life experience in confrontation. Is the devil coming?"
Isabella couldn't help stunned, she opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word of assurance.
"We all know what nobles look like. They are most interested in territory, wealth and pleasure. Maybe when the red moon comes and the devil is in the world, he will organize the people's resistance, but once the situation gets into trouble, you are sure that the dandy prince will Persevere to the end?"
Zero took her hand and came to the side of the round table, "He is just a mortal, Isabella. Frail, weak, and short-lived, willpower will quickly fade with age, a simple cold Immediately, it could kill him. Even if Roland accepts the mission of the Federation and is determined to fight the devil to the end, his subjects and heirs will be willing to give up all enjoyment and use all the resources in the territory for this unwatchable battle. To a brutal war on the edge? Only the Church can do this through the faith of the gods."
"At least... we should send messengers to talk to him first."
"No amount of talking can solve these problems," Zero shook her head and said, "Defection to the secular forces will cause the church's belief to collapse and the Holy City to collapse. In order to stabilize the witch organization, Roland will definitely not let us and God's punishment be spared. Jun. If I devour him, the Holy City will also have to pay a heavy price. From the perspective of the results, there is not much difference between the two. In this case, why do you still pin your hopes on a mortal?"
Isabella hesitated.
She knew that Zero was right, even though the fight would only hurt both sides, no one was sure that after the church surrendered, he would not take revenge on the church for the group of witches under him. As a result, the loss will be unavoidable, and things seem to have returned to the far point.
"The knowledge of those weapons is not exclusive to mortals, but mortals can't get the witch's body." Zero continued, "Through the battle of souls, I can obtain a person's inheritance and even life span, regardless of the battle of divine will. As long as it lasts, I will not grow old, nor will I lose my way, and I will not worry about the foolish descendants destroying the results." She paused, "In the past two hundred years, I have seen too many Yingcai is exhausted by years, no matter how brave and smart they are when they are young, they will eventually turn into a bag of dust in the process of wasting and stumbling. For this alone, I am far better than him.”
"But… "
"The most important point is that I am the darling of God, Isabella." Zero emphasized in an unquestionable voice, "No matter who the opponent is, I have never failed, and the thousands of souls that have been swallowed can testify!"
Isabella sighed.
She was persuaded.
"What are you going to do? If I don't get close enough, I can't remove the effect of the God's Stone of Retaliation."
Zero laughed lightly, "Don't forget the high-level sigil left by the Federation."
"No one can use "God's Will"..." Isabella frowned, "and "Infinite" is a one-time use, are you sure you want to spend it in such a place? "
"But it can turn the tide of the battle." Zero said without hesitation, "Whether it's dealing with ordinary people or dealing with devils, as long as you can make a final decision, it's not a waste of money."
"It also drains all my magic power," she pouted. "That's not a good feeling."
"Then you will faint," Zero nodded and said, "but it won't cause any harm to the body. As long as I can touch Roland Wimbledon, the war will come to an end."
"If you lose, we're all done."
"I never thought about my failure," Zero said disapprovingly. "When you wake up, you should already be lying in the cathedral's bedroom."
Speaking of which, she poured Isabella a cup of black tea, "I know you still have doubts about your decision, but don't forget, I took care of you. From the moment you wake up, I choose You have become O'Brien's Crowned Pure One, and it is I who taught you your knowledge and fighting skills. You should be very clear about my determination and my strength when it comes to fighting the devil. In any way, I'm all the better candidates to lead humanity in this battle of fate."
"Okay... I hope so," Isabella took a sip of tea, "but according to the records in the book, the scope of "infinity" can't really extend infinitely, and when you turn into a spirit body, the magic power can The time to persevere is also extremely limited. If you don't meet him, you have no chance to change people in the middle. "
"So the first thing we have to do is to find him first." Zero smiled.

"The shells are loaded!"
"Twenty-two angles, thirteen pitches, fire!"
Following a command, the 152mm fortress gun erected at the rear of the front spurted orange-red flames, and the strong muzzle wind stirred up billowing dust. Roland, who was standing aside, blocked his ears, but he could still feel the sound wave band. A dull roar came.
The soldiers at the scene stood on tiptoes and stretched their necks to look at the mountains in the distance, but they were destined to not see where the bombardment landed.
"This is the lightning bolt, and the location of the hit was observed," listened to the little girl's report from the seal, "Hmm... It's probably in the middle of the ramp."
"Very good, let's make a mark there." Roland replied.
What is currently in progress is the long-distance calibration of the artillery. When all the residents of Cold Wind Ridge are evacuated, he begins to guide the artillery battalion to debug the two ultimate killers. In order to be worthy of its ultra-long range and high cost, he naturally would not let the artillery fire after seeing the enemy, so the first over-the-horizon strike of this era was born.
Of course, Roland never expected the artillerymen to adjust the firing angle of the artillery according to the deviation of the landing point, so he still adopted the old method of firing the cannon first and then drawing the target. In actual combat, as long as the enemy travels within the range of the landing point, the lightning can directly fire after reporting the number.
The two fortress cannons were enough to cause the enemy to suffer a fatal blow of unknown origin in the process of descending the mountain. (., Your support is my biggest motivation.) 17-03-04 10:50:15
