On a hot summer day, the Kingdom of Hadratah is in the wilderness a few kilometers away from the royal capital.
A large black shadow is spreading from the other side of the horizon towards the royal capital. Brown flags are flying in the air, accompanied by bursts of drums and the sound of horse hooves, which is very orderly.
"It came really fast!" Raphael and others stood on the tower, staring at the army that was approaching from a distance. It was so dark that they couldn't see the edge at a glance.
It is roughly estimated that there are at least 80,000 people... They are roughly divided into three groups. The legions on both sides are large in number, but the array is slightly scattered, and even the weapons and armor of the soldiers are incomplete.
"Hebrew, Oston, Barrow...traitors of these kingdoms!" Hattar said through gritted teeth, but he recognized from the towering flags and the ancestral emblems on the flags that these were the people of these kingdoms! The army of a duke on the border of the kingdom.
Lin En, on the other hand, used his far-sighted magic and looked at the silver-armored legion guarding the center. All of them were tall and tall, marching solemnly, with pairs of cold and ruthless eyes staring ahead, which was intimidating.
This is the famous God's Punishment Army. In just ten days, the Holy See's legion has already reached the gates of the royal capital.
In fact, according to the intelligence they obtained, there were not many unimaginable nobles who tried to resist along the way, but this was all in vain. The solid city walls could block the ground troops, but they could not block the gryphon knights descending from the sky.
Even without the bishops taking action, the entire city would fall within an hour.
"Do you need us to go out of the city to fight? Master Linn?" Reidel asked with a solemn expression.
Old York and others on the side looked expectant and eager to try.
Although the Holy See's army was far more numerous than them, they were not afraid. When Duke Rickman led several times the army, he was beaten to pieces by the muskets in their hands...
So in Old York's view, these were not 80,000 enemy troops, but heads that needed to be fought for.
"No, it's not the time yet!" Linn shook his head.
According to the current production speed of laser transmitters, it will take about two or three days to install them on the airship. Without air supremacy, if you rush out of the city to fight, there may be a lot of casualties.
After all, their opponents this time were not just feudal soldiers with swords in their hands, but also possessed powerful magical power.
"What do you think? Your Majesty Hattar?" Linn turned his head and looked at the king beside him.
Hatar was extremely anxious. Now that a large area of territory in the eastern part of the kingdom had been lost, he could not wait to command these wizards to rush out and defeat these damn Holy See legions, regain the lost territory, and execute the rebellious nobles.
But Hatar held it back in the end. He understood that Lin En would say this, which meant that he was not completely sure, so he could only grit his teeth and say. "Then let's do this, defend... instead of attack!"
…
At the same moment, the Holy See's army stopped in the wilderness outside the royal capital.
A middle-aged man wearing silver armor with a holy emblem painted on his chest has been focusing on the city wall. His outstanding eyesight can still clearly see his target among the crowd even though he is several kilometers away. He is very interested. He spoke.
"That is the great wizard Lin En who is wanted for 300,000 imperial gold coins? He is much younger than I thought..."
"Don't be careless, Arnaud, this is not an easy target to deal with." Edwell, wearing an iron mask, spoke solemnly, and then told the other party the information about Linn.
The great wizard was wanted for fifty thousand imperial gold coins before for burning the harbor town. He wrote it himself. Now he planned the rebellion in the kingdom. Naturally, the reward has been increased step by step, and now it has accumulated to thirty Huge!
This is an extremely exaggerated amount of money. Even a poor person can buy a powerful duke with this money!
In the sinners chapter of the Bible, the description of the other party includes more accusations of destroying the Kingdom Church, killing the cardinal, and... blasphemy!
It can only be described as heinous. Of all the wanted criminals who have appeared in the pages of the Bible in the past, no one can compare with him!
"He possesses a strange kind of hellfire that can devour human flesh and blood and is difficult to extinguish using normal methods," Adwell reminded.
"However, as long as the elements in the air are isolated, it can block its burning. In addition, non-burnable sand and gravel can also bury it. Temperature is also a key..."
Adwell was very detailed. He had sent people to find the wreckage of the airship and analyzed the characteristics of the flame. The bishops tried various methods and finally buried it with sand. of.
"In that case, I will accept the three hundred thousand bounty!" Arno's lips cracked into a smile, and Edwell's words were firmly recorded in his heart.
"If you have the ability, his ice magic is not weak either..." Edwell's face with the iron mask showed no expression. After reminding him again, he turned to look at the Dukes of the Kingdom. .
"Hebrew, Oston, Barrow... let you lead the kingdom's army as the vanguard!"
"But... Lord Edwell, those wizards will perform all kinds of weird witchcraft. We alone may not even be able to get close to the city wall." Duke Barrow said with a slight trembling.
The nobles of the kingdom who were watching were also hesitant to speak. Although they chose to surrender without hesitation when the Holy See army came to kill them, this did not mean how pious they were.
Judging from the information obtained, the troops trained by these wizards will use a strange witchcraft weapon that is very powerful.
An entire group of well-trained cavalry were easily defeated during the charge. Even if they could capture the royal capital, they would probably suffer heavy casualties.
"This is your only chance to prove your loyalty to the Lord with facts and repent of your crimes!" Edwell's words were full of irrefutable meaning.
Adwell has no good impression of such nobles who act according to the changing circumstances.
After the group of wizards killed King Bazel and launched a rebellion, only a few nobles who were loyal to the church chose to resist, while more people wavered and even got together with the wizards to persecute local priests and bishops.
These are undoubtedly sinners, so Edwell brought in all the nobles in the eastern part of the kingdom, whether they were barons, viscounts or dukes, and only then could he gather so many troops.
