It was said that the remaining enemy forces were eliminated, but in fact the war was over.
On the battlefield, almost no trace of the Royal Army could be seen. They had already retreated before General Anatole. Duke Ivanovich on the frontal battlefield withdrew, and the Duke of Tbilisi and Shirkov on the east and west sides retreated. The count also withdrew the attacking soldiers. The entire five armies retreated faster than they attacked.
The Royal Army took away most of the baggage and equipment, except for all the artillery. These heavy barrels were a burden during retreat and would only delay the army's escape.
Basile and several other monks climbed up to the high platform. Seeing Anatole escape, the surviving monks quickly summoned Pegasus to come down, trying to escape from the sky, and then...
He was shot down by the thunder spear.
They missed the best opportunity to escape. It was impossible for them to escape from the Church of Truth and the Blood Tribe. Basile and the monks knew each other very well. After being shot down, they directly raised their hands and surrendered. As expected of the Popang people, their movements were uniform. He is crisp and neat, as if he has been rehearsed, and even when he surrenders, he is a little more handsome than others.
After handing over the magic ring, Ma Wei handed them over to the vampires for detention, and then ordered the army to start cleaning the battlefield. While collecting the corpses, they began to count the loot.
More than two thousand monks of the Wisdom Cult died without any bones left. The worms ate their flesh, clothing, and bones, leaving only rings made of gold.
The silver-white figure said that this was a gift they gave to Ma Wei, to congratulate the Church of Truth on its victory over the Wisdom Cult. Ma Wei was not polite and accepted them all regardless of whether they could be used or not, and then went back to think about it slowly.
After all, it is gold, so a ring that cannot be used can be melted into other magic rings!
On the high platform, the soldiers carried down the body of Paul I and uncovered the thick robe that wrapped his body. A strong rotting stench spurted out. In the hot summer, the body that had been dead for a long time had long rotted, and the maggots were Crawling on the exposed and atrophied flesh, Katerina looked at the broken and withered limbs of the corpse and fell into silence for a long time.
She did not retreat like other soldiers, but fell off the horse, pushed away the general who stepped forward to help her, walked slowly to the lying body, and knelt down on one knee.
"You left...even you left me..."
Caressing the pale and ulcerated face of Paul I, Katerina said with soft eyes: "You are very brave. I still remember that when you were a child, you were scared by a brown bear and cried loudly. You ran to your mother to cry. Your father said that you were too cowardly. Yong, I feel the same way. You have been like this since you were a child. When you encounter difficulties, you always go to your father and mother for help. You also always say that your father is not good to you and does not want to pass the throne to you..."
"Actually, my parents have always loved you the most. They knew that you were cowardly and unable to fight with those aristocratic factions, so they kept warning me to give in to you in everything. When we were young, our parents gave us the same toys, but you chose If you like what I have, you always come up to grab it, and cry when you can’t grab it. I give it to you every time..."
"On the day my father died, someone suggested that I get rid of you quickly to avoid the trouble of fighting for the throne, but I didn't do that because you are my brother and my last relative in this world. I hope to see you shoulder the responsibility. You take up the responsibility of revitalizing the Romanov Kingdom and inherit your father's will, but you are still afraid of death and have no responsibility like you did when you were a child, and you became a puppet in the hands of the aristocracy."
"I thought you would remain childish and always be like a child, hiding and shrinking when in danger. But you suddenly grew up and chose to end your life for the sake of the Romanov Kingdom. Finally, you had a king. But I suddenly don’t want you to grow up. If you keep running away like before, you probably won’t die now..."
"You always wanted me to recognize your identity as king from the bottom of my heart, as if to prove myself. You did it. Now I really think you have the ability to become a qualified king, but you are not a good brother. I ....Not a good sister either.”
Katerina took off the crown from Paul I's head. Tears welled in her eyes and did not fall for a long time. "I feel your determination to revitalize the Romanov Kingdom. My father left, and you also left, but Romanov The husband’s kingdom is still there, it will not perish!”
"Now...."
"It's my turn, just like when I was little, I always get what you don't want."
Standing up, Katerina wiped away the tears that were about to fall from the corners of her eyes, her eyes became firm again, and she handed the crown to Marusha beside her: "Bury the body of His Majesty Paul I in the Insa Kiev Cathedral. A month-long state funeral.”
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Onufri, Raffl, you lead the cavalry, together with Edward, to pursue Duke Ivanovich and the others, and persuade them to put down their weapons and surrender. If they do not comply, kill them on the spot!"
"yes!"
"Father, we should move on."
Putting the long knife back into its sheath, Katerina said: "There is only one step left before the end of the war."
"Yes, there is only the last small area left that has not been liberated."
Ma Wei nodded and looked at the expressionless Katerina: "Your Highness, where do you plan to make your capital?"
"Of course Mosk."
With a final glance at the body of Paul I, Katerina swung the reins and steered the horse forward.
On July 12, the rebel army officially entered the royal capital.
Without the slightest resistance, the soldiers occupied Petersburg. Some officials who had served the Noble Faction and the Wisdom Cult were so frightened that they ran away overnight after learning of the victory of the rebel army.
Residents stood on the roadside, cheering loudly, welcoming the arrival of the Truth Church and Katerina.
The gloom of the past few days has been swept away. As soon as the news of the victory of the rebel army came in the decisive battle of Tver, Petersburg became completely lively. Those officials and nobles who fled in despair strengthened the people's determination to change the day. determination.
Looking at the cheering and dense crowds of people on both sides of the road, Ma Wei smiled on his face. He knew that when the rebel army entered the royal capital of Petersburg...
The overall situation has been decided.
They entered this magnificent city as victors. The war was completely over. The flag of truth slowly rose on the top of the Winter Palace, flying together with the flag of the Romanov Kingdom. Under the scorching sun, Ma Wei said with emotion. He breathed a sigh of relief, relieved.
After going through many hardships, they finally got the support of the Romanov Kingdom, the Church of Truth...
From now on, I have the confidence to fight head-on with the Apocalypse God System!
At this moment, the Church of Truth is truly authentic, together with the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny, the Church of Wisdom, the Church of Judgment, and many other churches...
On an equal footing!
