"Master Glenn, there is another one here, it looks like he is alive!" Hamm, who was responsible for leading the search team, shouted in surprise after discovering Arno who was 'unconscious' on the street.
There are many griffin knights shot down by the Thunder Web, but very few survive. Every one caught alive is a rare achievement.
After all, if some key information could be extracted from the mouths of these people, it might be able to change the situation of this war.
After receiving the notice, Glenn rushed over immediately. After looking at the collapsed eaves and the griffon next to it that was smashed into a ball of flesh, he immediately guessed how the other party survived, and then He took a bottle of magic potion, opened Arno's mouth and drank it directly.
To drink or not to drink, that’s a choice…
Arnaud hesitated for a moment, but in the end he did nothing and allowed the medicine to be poured into his body.
If the other party wants to kill him, he can just do it directly. There is no need to do anything extra. Arno guessed that these people should want to arrest them for interrogation.
This is undoubtedly a great opportunity.
Arnaud was thinking about countermeasures in his mind, but his thoughts immediately became groggy and he couldn't muster any strength.
This special potion can make a person's body muscles relax, fall into a long-term coma, and completely lose the ability to resist.
However, Glenn obviously did not expect that a cardinal would mix among the Griffin Knights and be captured so easily by them, so he only used a normal dose. Arno still maintained a certain degree of consciousness and was not completely unconscious. .
Several musketeers came forward with special ropes and tied him tightly.
They were provoked by the gryphon knights before, but were unable to fight back. Everyone was holding back their anger. Now that they had the opportunity to retaliate, they naturally used dirty tricks. One of them even kicked him hard several times. foot.
Arno endured the humiliation and was extremely annoyed. A few lowly poor people dared to treat him like this. He secretly remembered the voices of everyone in his heart. When they captured this royal capital, they must let these people go. Taste the tortures of the Inquisition.
"Okay, everyone, stop, don't kill people!" Glenn noticed everyone's actions and quickly stopped them, and asked Ham to send them to the interrogation room.
…
As the Holy See army retreated, news of the victory in the first battle quickly spread throughout the royal capital!
Cheers spread from the top of the city to the end of the alley.
This was undoubtedly a resounding victory. They only consumed some ammunition and repelled the menacing crusade. There were more than 20,000 corpses piled under the city wall!
It would have been perfect if those damn gryphon knights hadn't burned down dozens of houses and caused more than a hundred casualties due to their ability to fly!
Faced with such a great victory, Linn certainly would not be stingy with rewards. All the musketeers who participated in the battle received a magic gold coin as a reward. Their military exploits will be recorded, and additional rewards will be given after the war is over.
Of course, this money comes from Parliament and the Royal Family.
Those griffins that were thrown to death were not wasted. Some were used for magic research, and the other part were distributed as meat to Old York and others who had made great achievements in battle.
For commoners like Old York, tasting the meat of a high-level monster may not be possible once in their lifetime, not to mention that it is roasted using lightning magic.
The musketeers who were lucky enough to be given meat felt like they had never eaten anything so strong in their lives.
After appeasing the heroes of the war, Linn once again increased the intensity of patrol guards. Everyone knew that this war was far from over.
Today's battle looks fierce, but after all, it is still based on tentative attacks.
Because the people who can really decide the outcome of the war - the bishops and priests of the Holy See have not really taken action yet, and the other side has not invested much elite power.
So after Lin En arranged these trivial matters, he immediately rushed to the Alchemy Research Institute established in the royal capital.
As soon as he entered the door, a violent explosion came from inside, but neither Lin nor the guards who arrived were surprised.
Sure enough, just two or three minutes later, several wizards from the Alchemy Research Institute walked out of a laboratory full of fire, each one looking disgraced.
Lydia, who had joined the institute and became a glorious alchemist, hurriedly asked after seeing Lin En. "Dean Lin En? How was the war this time? Did we win?"
Lydia was very interested in this first battle with the Holy See, but she was busy improving her muskets, so she did not join the frontline battle.
"Killing at least 20,000 people with less than 200 casualties should be considered a great victory!" Lin En said with a smile. Only in the city defense battle, relying on the range of muskets and artillery, can such an exaggerated victory be achieved. Battle damage.
This also proves that his previous move of giving up taking the initiative to attack and choosing to defend the city was extremely correct!
After all, they knew nothing about the enemy before, so it was better to be cautious!
For this exaggerated battle loss ratio, everyone present was not surprised at all. The muskets, artillery and electromagnetic weapons they made according to the drawings given by Lin En were undoubtedly battlefield killers!
"It seems that the crusade sent by the Holy See is nothing more than that!" A witch said with a sneer.
After the news of the war spread throughout the land of wizards, many people were not optimistic that they would be able to defend the kingdom against the massive invasion of the Holy See, so much so that some people believed that the end of the wizards was coming.
Even the Parliament was facing a formidable enemy, and was even ready to retreat to the Wizarding Land to defend itself.
However, it now seems that the Holy See's massive attack is vulnerable to a single blow. It is no different from the rabble in the kingdom. It is not that they were beaten with their heads covered under their new weapons.
"No, the main force of the Holy See this time is just a tentative attack. The losses are limited, and the dead are basically cannon fodder. The next battle will not be that simple!" Lin En shook his head. This time they exposed the weapons and intelligence It's a bit much. The Holy See will definitely take measures to deal with it next time it attacks again.
Thinking of this, Linn looked at Wilson, the alchemist responsible for gunpowder research and development, and asked expectantly. "By the way, where are the smokeless gunpowder and fixed-load ammunition I asked you to study? Do you have a clue?"
"This has been completed a long time ago!" The wizard named Wilson straightened his expression, and then asked someone to bring over a special musket. "In addition, we have already made the sample of the percussion gun you requested!"
