Chapter 655: The Pope's Race: The End

PS: I found out that two readers voted for two monthly tickets for Little Pig, and I was so moved!

"Shoot back, shoot back! Get rid of these robbers! ”

"Retreat! Mission accomplished! All of us are moving out of the city, ready to ride the Speedy, and we're going home. In the laughter of the soldiers on the side where the sun never sets and the roar of the soldiers on the side of the Holy Light Sect, the army that attacked the Holy Light Cathedral was finally repulsed, but the price spent by the Holy Light Empire in order to obtain this "repulsion" can be described as quite heavy: although the combat effectiveness of the cathar warriors and the knights of the cathar is very strong, but in the case of unpreparedness, and the troops sent by the side of the sun are all real front-line troops, the casualties on the Holy Light Sect side still reached more than 3,000 people, And what they got in exchange was only less than 500 casualties of the Sunset soldiers, and because the Holy Light Sect was in a state of suppression from the beginning to the end of the war, the bodies of the Sunset soldiers who died were also taken away by the evacuated Sunset, making it more difficult for the Holy Light Sect to hold the Sunset responsible in the future.

Secondly, although the Basilica of Light was eventually preserved by the cathars, and no soldier was able to break through the gates of the Basilica of Light on the side of the sunset, the Cathedral of Light had been destroyed by its appearance before it became a church: the golden bell, the most important in the City of Light, fell from the top of the Cathedral of Light to the ground after the bombardment of three counterweight trebuchets, and crushed part of the top floor of the Basilica of Light on the way. At the same time, the sun never sets and found that although this bell is made of pure gold, it has plundering significance, but this thing is too cumbersome to make it look like it needs about one or even two Kodo beasts to drag away, so after weighing the pros and cons, with the idea that I can't get it and you don't want to get it, the soldiers of Sunset directly made a small barrel of black powder and put it into the bell, so that this pure gold bell turned into golden fragments in the explosion.

After the most of the Basilica of the Holy Light, there were 3 counterweight trebuchets with soldiers who braved their lives to transport black powder kegs with the sunset. If it weren't for the fact that the Holy Light Empire had also encountered this kind of fire that could not be extinguished with water in so many years of battle, and knew that this kind of flame could only be extinguished by burying it with sand, then the core area of the Holy Light City would have turned into a sea of fire now.

And the above losses are only the loss of the core area of the Holy Light Sect, in fact, in addition to the Mishael raiders on the side of the sun never setting have made the core area of the Holy Light City a miasma, the midtown and the inner city have also been destroyed by the soldiers of the sun, so that those apologetic warriors who wanted to pursue the soldiers of the sun can only pin their hopes on the troops of the Holy Light Empire who are about to rush from the acropolis around the Holy Light City, and then devote themselves to saving the buildings that are on fire in various urban areas: because the sun does not set before attacking, The main facilities in the City of Light have been found out using the convenience given to them by the Bedland. At the same time, in order to allow the army that he had high hopes for to rush to the side of the Holy Light Cathedral as soon as possible to prevent any accidents, he also destroyed the city gate switches connecting the four main urban areas in the Holy Light City.

"How's the chase going?" As a group of battle-armoured soldiers of the Great Empire of Divine Light with axes and halberds in their hands walked in from outside the gate, sitting on the seat of the undamaged Pope. Elcott said to the leader of them, the Divine Light Empire officer. And for the saints. Elcott's question, the officer of the Great Empire of Divine Light, had only a helpless and bitter expression on his face.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. The enemies who had come to cause trouble were presumably riding a strange mount that they had prepared earlier after leaving the city. This mount is taller and taller than the war horse, and this peculiar mount can move faster than the air combat mounts, and in this case we have three heavy cavalry units to surround and intercept them, but in the end we have not been able to catch up with them, and they have also used the weapon of the cavalry crossbow to kill and wound many of our cavalry brethren. Your Majesty, the picture in this picture is what we have encountered before. The strange mounts that the bandits who had slain into the City of Light rode after they had evacuated. ”

"It's Athrosaurus, a wurm creature." Saint. After receiving the information, Elcott did not say anything, but directly handed the simple drawing to a man who had previously served as a guard beside him, and the man immediately recognized the identity of this strange mount after identifying the drawings on the pattern: "Fierce character. Even if it is tamed by humans, it will not reproduce under the care of humans, this kind of mount called Athlon is not even comparable to the black panther and orcs who experience it in the dark at night, because the running speed of the Athlon can even reach 1 hour and dozens of miles, in addition, the Athlon also has an extremely excellent bouncing type, so it is impossible for ordinary fortifications to stop the speed of the Athlon movement. ”

"Where did this motivation come from?" Saint. Elcott was silent for a moment, then asked the man.

"Southwest Continent."

"Alright. Then go down first and let your soldiers put out the fire. "St. Elcott pondered again, but this time the time of contemplation was much shorter than the previous one. Elcott quickly gave the officer of the Great Empire of Divine Light a new directive, and at this moment, another man in battle uniform also walked in with a battle report in his hand. Elcott said, "Your Majesty, this is the news that has been counted after the end of the Battle of the Holy Light City, and that our facilities have been destroyed or not destroyed. ”

"Read." Saint. Avril Electric said.

"Your Majesty, the Pope." After taking a few deep breaths, the cathar warrior who came to report the situation said: "Report to His Majesty the Pope, in addition to the core area of our Holy Light City, the Midtown and Inner City are also the main targets of these bandits. Among them, the largest loss is in the middle of the city, because these robbers not only set fire to the commercial area of the Holy Light City, but also set the barracks on fire, and the inner city bandits also focused on taking care of our treasury and granaries, a total of 13 of which were lit, and the treasury was also set on fire after being baptized, and most importantly, most of the ignition weapons used by these robbers were not torches, but a weapon that could throw things like clay pots out of the way. And this kind of weapon, to be precise, the flames splashed out of the clay pots that are ignited and will spread after falling to the ground cannot be extinguished with water, which greatly hinders our firefighting and rescue operations, and now we have begun to try out those sand to extinguish the fire, but because it has just begun to be implemented, the effect is still unknown, in addition, after the Holy Light City was sacked by the bandits ushered in by the group of Badran side, hundreds or even thousands of citizens died, and the barracks in Midtown ..............."

Before the report was finished, an apologetic warrior of the Divine Light Empire ran in in a panic, which made the Saint who had a very calm face before. Elcott and the rest of the world frowned, for they all knew the cathar warrior in front of them, who had sent him on a special mission.

"What happened? Why is your face so alarmed? Have you lost all those things? "Don't wait for this guy to speak, St. Elcott asked him first, in exchange for a nod that made his face darken at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Yes, Your Majesty, when I led people to the Inquisition, we were blocked by the bandits along the way, and their number had reached more than 500 people, so that our team of only about 100 people was forced to stay in the alley until all the guys left, and when we arrived at the Inquisition, we found that the Inquisition was in ruins, and judging from the situation around there, It is very likely that the bandit side used the kind of dwarven black powder that can produce great power (as one of the oldest great empire forces in the King Continent, the people of the Holy Light Empire of course know the existence of such a thing as black powder, after all, the dwarf side has developed such a thing as black powder for decades ahead of the sunset, and of course, because of this, the presence includes the saint. Elcot and others had always believed that the black powder used by the robbers in their mouths had been imported from the dwarves), and in addition, during the search, we also discovered that the iron door at the back of the darkest floor, which was used to protect the secret room of the religious judgment, had been made with a large circular hole, which must have been smashed by black powder. ”

"Did they take everything from it?" Saint. Elcott tried his best to calm the anger in his heart and said to the cathar warrior, and in exchange for a temporary reluctance to breathe a sigh of relief: "I don't think I took all of it, because those people also set the secret room on fire when they evacuated, and now the secret room is completely on fire, judging by this situation, it is very likely that the other party did not take all of them due to time, so after taking away some of them, they destroyed all the rest that could not be taken away." ”

"Whew......... At least some can be destroyed. "St. Elcott thought for a moment and said, and at the same time roared in his heart: "The damned sun never sets, I won't let you continue to be arrogant this time." (To be continued......)
