"Oh?" Lai Gou'er said in surprise, "Why are you so brave this time?"
Hope smiled: "The Pope is dead, and the Holy City has been taken over by you. What should I be afraid of with such a huge advantage? But there is one thing you have to pay attention to."
"What?"
"The Pope is not a fool. He knows how dissatisfied the monarchs of various countries are with him, so he has been arranging people to infiltrate other countries."
"Although the monarchs of various countries resisted secretly, after all, some people did not have the ability. As far as I know, there are six dioceses west of the Holy City, which are controlled by the Pope's hard-core confidants, and the imperial power has been emptied. If the Pope escapes back to the dioceses he controls, , we can launch a counterattack at any time. Our actions must speed up."
Lai Gouer said with a serious look: "Why does the Pope have stronger control over the West than other positions? How many troops can these six dioceses use?"
Hope said with both hands: "The birthplace of the Taifu Sect is to the west of the Holy City. The Holy City was established after the church grew in power. Their roots are in the west, and their control there is much stronger than the eastern coast. .”
"The six major dioceses are behind six countries. I can confirm this. This is an open secret in the church. But as for the military strength of each country, I really have no way of knowing."
Lai Gouer nodded repeatedly: "Okay, this news is enough! Brother Hope, you have done another big favor. Please set off immediately to go to various countries to help me convince the other party. It is best to start with Hero."
"I'm now sending someone with the church's top leaders to immediately stop the conflict there. As for whether it can be stabilized, I'll leave it to you."
Hope was noncommittal and sighed: "I'm afraid that many countries are preparing to start purging church forces, and everything will be in chaos."
Suddenly he changed the subject, looked at Jinku and said: "Brother Lai, I have helped you so much, what benefits can you bring to me?"
Lai Gouer understood: "What good can Da Jing do to you? You can take care of the things in the vault yourself. Just don't go too far."
"Okay! I'll leave tomorrow!"
...
The main city of Feka was under fire.
It's just that this artillery fire has already turned into one-way artillery fire!
Dajing's defensive forces unleashed firepower on the opponent almost regardless of the cost.
The Heroic army and the Temple army retreated far away early.
God's Punishment Weapon cannot defeat it.
Even the trebuchet cannot hit it.
Moreover, the opponent's reserves seemed to be exhausted at all, and the frequency of artillery fire was heartbreaking.
Even when no one is around, he still has to fire two shots to show off his abundant firepower.
The two sides have been in a stalemate for a long time now.
General Maud looked at Fika City in despair.
As early as ten days ago, he had completely given up hope.
There is no way this city can be conquered right now.
The opponent's weapons are far more sophisticated than theirs.
The fleet they requested for support should have been annihilated by the opponent without any accident.
If there hadn't been a presiding judge by his side, holding the papal banner, he would have led his men to retreat long ago.
Today is the last round of close attempts, and there are still no surprises.
At the cost of hundreds of soldiers, the opponent's artillery was replaced and the attack stopped.
Modyang sighed: "Withdraw, the opponent cannot defend the city, and we have no chance."
The presiding judge said weakly: "No, I have persisted for such a long time. Didn't you say you can win? This is an order from the Holy See, you cannot disobey it."
Maud gritted his teeth: "Even if the Holy See is here, he will withdraw! This is simply an unequal war. There is no intention of exhausting the resources on the other side, and our only remaining advantage is gone!"
"I don't care...I don't care. You have to find a way to win for me. I don't care..." The presiding judge tugged at the corner of his clothes and muttered over and over again.
He had already lost his temper, but if he went back in such a dejected state, he would have to peel off two layers of his skin.
If he fought to the end, he would still have a good reputation.
Maude pressed her right hand firmly on the hilt of the sword at her waist, resisting the urge to chop the opponent.
If he wasn't afraid of the church, such a waste would have been chopped into pieces by him long ago!
But at this moment, a soldier hurried over to report.
"General, the other side has sent people out of the city! They are also pushing a few cars!"
"What? Go over and have a look."
He took the initiative to send people out of the city. Could it be that he couldn't stand it any longer! ? Have you been pretending before?
Maud cheered up and strode forward.
After walking not far, he saw several people pushing cars towards him in the distance, and the cars were still covered with cloth.
Maude looked confused and raised her hand to signal the people behind her to keep quiet.
After waiting for a while, those people had already pushed the cart to the front of the Hero Army formation.
As soon as they stopped, Hero soldiers immediately came forward to check.
Seeing that there was no problem, Maude stepped forward and said cautiously: "Are you here to negotiate peace?"
The reporter said: "The Duke of Alvis asked us to send a message to the general to inform him that the Pope is dead and the Holy City has been captured! The new Pope has succeeded and hopes that the General can stop the war and the two countries can reconcile."
After that, the person who notified him lifted the long cloth covering the body in the car.
Several rotting corpses were revealed in front of General Maude and the presiding judge.
General Maude's eyes widened suddenly!
The Holy City was breached and the Pope... died?
The corpse closest to him was indeed wearing the papal clothes and crown, but its face was so mangled that it was completely unrecognizable.
He was confused for a moment.
At this moment, the presiding judge screamed and fell to the ground, with no trace of blood on his face.
"This...this...this..."
"Is it the Pope who died?" General Maude came back to his senses and asked him quickly.
Whether he is the Pope or not, no one here should know better than the presiding judge.
The presiding judge's throat seemed to be strangled.
He didn't know if it was the Pope's body, but he really recognized the other corpses.
All of them are very famous people in the church!
That means...the dead one is really the Pope! ?
"I don't know, but the others are indeed high-ranking members of the church..." the presiding judge muttered to himself in a dazed manner.
General Maud swallowed hard.
That means that the Pope’s body is very likely to be real!
Upon seeing this, the informant added: "General, if you don't believe it, you can continue to wait here. Soon Hero will send someone to deliver the news. Before that, no attack will be launched in the city."
"In addition, the general in our city also asked me to bring you a message."
"What are you bringing?" General Maude asked hurriedly.
"He said you played well."
"damn it!"
Maude was stunned, and a flash of blood rushed from her neck to her face.
The words "well played" kept echoing in my mind...
What an insult! !
He has fought a lifetime! I've never been insulted like this! The beating was so frustrating!
But this also proves one thing.
The other side is really confident.
It seems that something big must have happened in the Holy City...
After struggling for a long time, Mod looked at Feka's city wall in the distance, and finally waved his hand helplessly: "The entire army...retreat!"
.....
On the wall of Fika, Zheng Hui looked at the opponent's army retreating like a tide with a telescope, and smiled with satisfaction.
In this battle, not a single soldier was lost, but a few shells were used. It was really easy!
That guy Lai Gouer was also very capable and managed to stabilize the Holy City.
"Here comes someone! Send out a fleet immediately and send the good news back to Dajing! Don't waste a moment!"
...
(Brother Meng, let me explain to you. I have a training and learning activity in July, which requires me to go out of town for a period of time. I am afraid that I will not have time to write and update in the meantime, so I dare not add more. I want to save some manuscripts, but I haven’t saved them yet. , the event ends on the 19th, I will add more to everyone when the time comes. Before then, I will try my best to add as much as I can. Thank you for your understanding, and I wish you all a smooth progress.)
