The roar of the giant cannon from the south bank of the Baishui River can be faintly heard in the pier square.
The citizens of Cecil knew that it was the loud noise made by the unique magical weapons of the combat corps. Behind every loud noise was a devastating explosion, even if it was the Pyroblast technique issued by the great magician. It is also incomparable to the power of those giant cannons. The citizens of Cecil, who have seen the explosion power of Rebecca crystal with their own eyes, and read the analysis articles about this war in the newspaper, believe that in those powerful In front of the giant cannon, Earl Hossman and the mob he assembled had no chance of winning at all, just like the aberrations who attacked the territory twice but were defeated twice had no chance of winning.
People in this era have not yet experienced the baptism of the information explosion, and they have not had the habit of questioning the lord. The impact of lack of information sources and heavy working life on them still remains. After gaining the ability to think and think, they immediately and unconditionally believed everything the newspapers and the lord said. They didn't care, and they didn't even think about the meaning of the two armies totaling 70,000 people organized by Earl Hossman. What are you talking about, since the lord said he can win, he will definitely win.
This will certainly change someday as education advances and culture develops, but at least for now, this near-blind trust and following is necessary to keep the Cecilians united and motivated.
A small half of the people in the city have arrived near the pier square, listening to the roar of artillery fire from upstream, but Cecil's outstanding discipline still restrains those citizens who have work tasks, and most of them still stay at their jobs Go on, continue to do what you have to do, and wait for tomorrow's "outsider" to announce the latest situation on the front line.
A pair of pale golden illusory eyes floated above the south city wall. Its color was so light that it almost completely merged with the background of the sky. After a few seconds, the eyes condensed by the power of the holy light gradually dissipated.
In a small dense forest next to the dark mountains outside the southern city wall, an old man wearing a white priest robe with gold trim and a triple crown with intricate patterns slowly opened his eyes, a pale golden light shone in his eyes Gone in a flash.
"It's really surprising that this city is still so peaceful even though it is surrounded by war and the invading enemies even outnumber the entire population of the city..." The old man in the priest's robe couldn't help admiring, "It's really I don't know what demagogic method that Duke Gawain Cecil used to make the order in the city so orderly... "
A middle-aged priest next to the old man couldn't help shaking his head: "I'm afraid the people in the city don't even know the news of the war. If they knew what kind of army is attacking their city, they must have already The escape is over."
"Using deceit and deception... This is in line with the duke's act of sheltering heretics," the old man said with a gentle and indifferent expression, "Sinners who violated the Lord's will and believed in heretical gods must be hiding in the city now... Ladies and gentlemen, come with me, it is time for those heretics to recognize the reality and realize that even if they flee to the south and hide in the cities of the Cecils, they cannot escape the punishment of the Lord."
As the old man spoke, he strode out of the forest, and behind him, one after another, heavily armed figures came out of their hiding place.
Those were a total of twelve Holy See knights with powerful holy light surging from their bodies. They were wearing holy enchanted armor made of pure gold and light cast iron, and on top of the armor were pale golden cloaks embroidered with holy light mottos. The original and pure power of holy light surged on the enchanted long sword, and even the war horse under his crotch was covered with armor made of the highest quality stainless steel. Every knight here has high-level strength. They have rich experience and are skilled in coordination. Coupled with their luxurious equipment, even if they face a legend, they can last long enough!
These are the strengths that the Church of the Holy Light is most proud of. It is the confidence that this "healing" church that believes in the Holy Light and is dominated by priests can become the strongest church in Ansu. The powerful Holy See knights have the power of the Holy Light They are strong fighters with superb skills and strong bodies. They use special methods to spread the power of the Holy Light, usually relying on hacking to death those who do not believe in the Holy Light.
An old man wearing a gold-rimmed priest's robe, Bishop Lemont of the southern diocese of the Church of the Holy Light, glanced at the troops he brought with him with satisfaction. The Church of the Holy Light is weak in the southern region, but it is not without savings. Half of the highest-ranking knights are reinforcements sent by the central diocese, and the other half are the strength of the southern diocese. These pious and fanatical warriors can fight to the last moment for their beliefs. It is time for the Lord to prove the faith.
Even the founding duke of the kingdom must not destroy the great cause of the Lord!
The old man led his attendants and twelve knights out of the dense forest, and a majestic holy light erupted from them. Although there were only fourteen of them, they exuded as powerful a force as if thousands of horses and horses. A sense of existence that no one can ignore. These church fighters have no intention of hiding their whereabouts at all, and they even swagger on purpose!
Because their task is to appear in front of this city openly. They know that there are legend guards in the city, and it is already the limit for high-level extraordinary people to reach the dense forest outside the city by means of team operations. If they want to touch it under the eyes of legend Going into town and wreaking havoc is next to impossible, so show up with a big swagger. And their task is not to take down this city, they just need to hold back the legend Gawain Cecil!
Bishop Lemont knew that the battle in the northern region had already begun. Now Earl Hossman and his 50,000 army may have captured the Kant region, and they are heading south along the wilderness road, while the west side is flowing along the Whitewater River. The Earl of Pepper should also arrive in Cecil Territory soon. After the 70,000 troops converge, it will not be difficult to capture this city that has been established for less than a year. The river is a natural barrier, but the city can be surrounded by 70,000 people.
Everything is sure to win, only Gawain Cecil himself, the legendary powerhouse, is a huge threat.
Remont knew the quality of the "coalition forces" that Earl Hossman had assembled. The southern border, which had been at peace for a long time, could not pull out many decent troops. They could just rely on numbers to crush ordinary opponents, but once Facing setbacks, I am afraid that he will collapse immediately, and a legendary strong man can easily come and go in such a rotten army. Once Gawain Cecil appears, he will wantonly loot and kill in the coalition army, or disregard the rules of the noble game. If you directly kill the nobles in the coalition army, the tens of thousands of troops are likely to fall into chaos.
Ordinary nobles might not do things like sneak attacking and killing other nobles on the battlefield, but Gawain Cecil is different. He has hardly followed the rules of the nobles since he unraveled the coffin. It's funny to say it, but now the nobles in the southern border know this fact: the ancestor violated the ancestral system!
Therefore, in order to avoid the only accident on the battlefield, Bishop Lemont and his church knights had to appear in the main city of Cecil during the fierce battle of the coalition forces, and drag Gawain Cecil here firmly!
As long as all the resistance forces of the Cecil people are disintegrated by the coalition forces, leaving only Gawain Cecil as a legend, there will be no disturbances.
Bishop Remont silently thought about how the Church of the Holy Light should carry out activities in the southern diocese after Cecil, an ancient and stubborn family, had completely collapsed. Of course, the soldiers in the city noticed the arrival of the uninvited guests, and now there were figures running around on the city wall. Bishop Lemont just looked at those running people quietly, with a gentle and compassionate expression.
He raised his hand, and a powerful holy light rushed into the sky. Such an obvious provocation, the lord hiding in the city must be able to see it.
Then he opened his mouth, ready to use the divine spell "Voice of Heaven" to shout out, to let the people in the city know why the judgment of the Holy Light came to them: it was because they sheltered the heretics and offended the God of Holy Light The disaster that was caused...
But just as he was about to recite the prayer, an incomprehensible humanoid creature that also radiated light appeared on the city wall not far away.
The creature was tall and terrifying, filled with magical radiance, his body was like a mass of shapeless arcane energy, relying on armor pieces engraved with runes to maintain the general outline of a human being, he used a floating The form appeared on the high city wall, and before he could speak, a powerful arcane lightning suddenly pierced the sky.
"It seems that you are the 'unfriendly guests' that the lord said," said the unbelievable energy creature, with a rumbling voice, like thunder, "Stop, you have invaded Cecil's land! "
"Where the holy light shines, it is the Lord's land!" Bishop Lemont clenched his staff tightly, looking at the energy creatures on the city wall with vigilance. He thought that the first one to show up must be the legendary lord , but did not expect that a creature that seemed to be an elemental creature or a magical creature appeared on the city wall, "I am the southern bishop of the Church of the Holy Light, Lemont. In the name of the Holy Light, I have come to negotiate with your lord!"
"Negotiation?" Kamel's voice rumbled, "Bring twelve fully armed knights to negotiate? And you have drawn your swords!"
"Because of what Cecil has done in the past period of time, we have to choose to face you with the highest alert," Bishop Lemont said loudly, "You have sheltered the cult believers exiled by the Church of the Holy Light, for the sake of the Holy Light purity, I was commissioned to complete the trial of those heretics."
Kamel shook his head. In fact, he really wanted to send a mocking expression, but he had no expression, so he could only shake his head: "Then it seems that you are going to return in vain, Your Excellency, those heretics you mentioned have passed by." A fair test of Cecil's law, they are innocent, and now they are legal citizens of this land, and your actions are challenging Cecil's law."
Bishop Lemont seems to be waiting for this sentence. He needs a reason, so that the actions of the knights "practicing the power of the Holy Light" seem a little more appropriate, and now the Cecils completely cover up heresy and that energy. The creature's rhetoric has given him reason: when can the law of the lord judge the district bishop
The bishop couldn't help but smile: "In this case, we will have to resort to force."
The knights raised their long swords one after another, and the surging holy light began to surge among them.
But before they launched an attack, Kamel had already spoken: "It's just right, I can use you to test my new project. Hongguang unit, prepare the overload capacitor!"
