    "Failed?"

    In the holy city, a saint in a golden-red holy robe listened in disbelief to the news reported by his subordinates.

    "The Faceless One actually lost?" The Saint angrily slapped the armrests of the Holy White Stone Seat, and a shocking wave spread quickly, making the entire hall tremble.

    Facing the wrath of the legendary saint, his men were sweating like rain, but they insisted on reporting the information completely.

    "Yes, everyone present saw it. The faceless man was assassinated by a mysterious girl. The weapon used is suspected to be Bretonnia's artifact Sword in the Stone."

    "The Sword in the Stone?" The Saint was stunned when he heard the words, and then became a little surprised and doubtful, "How could it be the Sword in the Stone? That's obviously that's all. You go and report the news to the Prophet Saint first, and be sure to ask for his opinion.  "

    "No need, I already know."

    While speaking, another golden-red saint walked into the hall. As his footsteps fell, the tremors in the hall stabilized.

    "There is no need to panic, the failure of the Faceless Men is not a bad thing for us."

    This new saint possesses prophecy skills that are envied by everyone in the church. He can see into the future, and his status is the most respected among the five legendary saints.  When the master of the hall saw him coming, he stood up and saluted hurriedly.

    "What did the prophet say?"

    The Holy Prophet said: "The failure of the Faceless Man lies in the variables. I sent him there, thinking that the only opponent was Bedivere Even if Rowan and Marina rebelled, he could suppress them. Unexpectedly, in Dragon City,  But something suddenly happened. Whether it was the girl holding the sword in the stone or the Kyushu man beside her, they were all variables I had not foreseen. But the emergence of the variable made my dream more clear. That black dragon.  I have finally confirmed my identity.¡±

    The world-destroying black dragon in the prophet's dream is a nightmare that has been hovering over the Holy Light Religion for hundreds of years.  At this time, the prophet actually said that the identity of the black dragon had been determined, which immediately made people ecstatic.

    "Already confirmed? Then"

    "It's the girl who assassinated the Faceless Man, who calls herself the daughter of the King of Knights."

    "Is it her? Huh, then we can catch all the remnants of this gang in one fell swoop. This matter is of great importance, so it is better for you and me to take action personally, without giving them any chance to breathe."

    The Holy Prophet said: "I came here with exactly this intention. In addition to you and me, I also want to"

    Before he finished speaking, a servant suddenly ran out of the palace, looking hurriedly and panicked, and completely losing his composure.

    The master of the palace said angrily: "What does it look like?

    The servant knelt down with a pop: "I'm sorry, Lord Saint. But I just received urgent news that the eastern front is in emergency. A group of Kyushu people have joined forces with Ogma, the knowledge capital, to come to the Holy City together with the eastern city-states.

    "What?"

    For the Holy Light Religion, the city-state alliance in the east has always been a thorn in the side. With the frequent exchanges between the east and west continents, the development of the east is becoming more and more rapid.  For this reason, not long ago, they deliberately used nails to create conflicts between the two parties. Unexpectedly, the result was that the two sides became angry with the same enemy.

    The prophet saint was also greatly shocked. Among the five legendary saints, he firmly supported the instigation of relations between Kyushu and the eastern city-states, because in the prophecy, there was no possibility of alliance between the two.  It is even less possible to unite with Ogma, the capital of knowledge, to plan for the Holy City.

    "Prophet" The master of the palace was stunned.

    The prophet closed his eyes and pondered for a moment: "The Holy City is the foundation of the church. The World-Destroying Dragon is not yet a thing. Let's let it go first and solve the immediate crisis. But we can't let it go completely. I think the Holy City guarding the western pass will be released."  The Knights mobilized back, and then launched a mass attack with the local forces in Bretonia. With the remaining strength after the Dragon City War, there was no chance of being spared by then. Even if they could not destroy the Knight King and the Sword in the Stone, their foundation would be destroyed.  As a lost dog, there will be no threat in the future.¡±

    "However, if the sword in the stone is genuine"

    "Hmph, is it the same mistake as the Savage Lord a hundred and fifty years ago? At that time, the Savage Lord was defeated and died with ten times the superior force, and became a stepping stone for the King of Knights to reach the top. We dispatched twenty times the force. Now Dragon  The number of available soldiers for the city guards is only two to three thousand. If some of the knights from the west are mobilized, plus the surrounding forces, the legion with a hundred thousand professionals as the core is enough to crush Dragon City. No matter how sharp the sword in the stone is, can it be  Kill all 100,000 people?"

    "Ok, I see."

    In the west of the continent, at the entrance to the Savage Land, stands a strict fortress. The prestigious Mad Blood Holy Knights are stationed here. A huge legion with more than 30,000 professionals as its core, will conquer the Savage Land.  All living things are isolated from the mainland, and it can be said to be the patron saint of civilization in the western part of the mainland.  It is also because of this merit that the Holy Light Sect can firmly maintain its position as the first religion in the mainland.

    Because the duty of guarding the border is too important, the Knights of Mad Blood are almost never mobilized.Growing up with this from generation to generation, it is deeply ingrained.  With the Cold Wind Fortress as the core, a small city even gradually spread out.  Many people from villages who once lived nearby chose to rely more closely on the protection of the Knights. In exchange, they would also replenish living supplies for the Knights.  At the same time, some naturalized barbarian tribes settled here, and the Knights did not stop them.

    In recent decades, the Blood Holy Knights have not had many combat missions, and life in the small towns around the fortress has also seemed comfortable.  The training and actual combat of the core members of the Knights are concentrated in the fortress and west of the border. Ordinary people cannot see it, and they only feel that the overall peace of several decades seems to be eternal.

    However, in the early morning of this day, the sleeping people suddenly woke up. They felt that the earth was shaking gently, and the sound of metal collisions continued one after another.  Occasionally mixed with thick roaring command sounds.  A chilling haze enveloped the peaceful town.

    No one living here is completely unfamiliar with war. The familiar atmosphere suddenly makes people realize: Is war coming?

    In the middle of the small town is a spacious road, which is the road for the Cold Wind Fortress army to pass inland. Although the Bloody Holy Knights have rarely walked in the past few decades, no one usually dares to occupy that road and has always maintained the road.  of smoothness.  But at this time, people were surprised to see that the spacious road was already occupied by a dense crowd, and the heavily armed blood-blooded paladins walked out of the fortress neatly and headed towards the east.  Looking around, there are no less than a thousand people, and there is a steady stream of follow-up troops.

    For decades, it is not uncommon for the Holy Light Religion to mobilize small-scale mobilizations against the Blood Paladins, but only dozens or hundreds of people were mobilized at one time. This large-scale operation of thousands of people has never happened before.

    What happened in the east?

    "General, 20,000 troops and more than 5,000 professionals were mobilized overnight. Is this operation too hasty?"

    In the military formation, two knights with exceptionally bright armor were talking in a low voice.  One of them is the commander of this expeditionary force, one of the deputy leaders of the Blood Holy Knights, and the other is the deputy commander of this trip.

    "The Holy City has issued an urgent call-up order, requiring the knights to rush to Bretonnia within five days at all costs, and join forces with the local forces to encircle Dragon City. Therefore, even if the matter happens in a hurry, there is nothing that can be done."

    "Local forces? A bunch of rabble. We'll be lucky if they don't hold us back. I'm afraid we still need to take action. Dragon City is a formidable enemy."

    "You don't need to worry too much. Dragon City has experienced a holy war before, with more than half of the casualties, leaving only a group of defeated soldiers. And although those ragtag groups are unable to be driven, their numerical advantage is still there after all. The intelligence sent by the church said that now  The church can mobilize nearly 100,000 professionals. Although most of them are low-level, when used correctly, it is a force that cannot be ignored. "

    "Hmph, it's a pity that the output of the Guangming Archons has not been able to keep up. Otherwise, we would have used thousands of Archons to control them and rush forward without fear of life and death. We would not have to do anything at all, and they would be piled up to death."

    "Don't get too fancy, we might be at the front when the time comes. However, if we are facing only a tired army, a single attack should be able to destroy their front. Then let the rabble follow behind and sweep them away,  One battle can end the whole situation."

    "But one hundred and fifty years ago, the King of Knights rode forward alone and killed eight witch doctors and barbarian lords in front of the battle line, leaving the enemy army leaderless. We must not make the same mistake again."

    "Don't worry, no one will be stupid enough to attack him."

    The two commanders and deputy commanders walked and talked. During the march, they gradually outlined the next tactical framework.  They are full of confidence for the coming war.

    "Compared to the so-called Dragon City Guards who have been castrated by the Holy Light Cult for hundreds of years in Bretonia, these warriors on the western border who have been tempered by countless actual battles can only be compared to ten.

    Five days later, the Blood Holy Knights crossed thousands of mountains and rivers at an incredible speed and appeared on the land of Bretonia.

    During the march, the Paladins could clearly feel that there was an unusually depressing atmosphere in the land of Bretonia, as if a storm was coming.

    The deputy commander of the Paladin pinched his nose and said impatiently: "There is a smell unique to lizards Humph, it is true that insects are the most sensitive in the face of disaster. After this battle, Bretonia must  After a great purification, I don¡¯t know how many people will die.¡±

    The commander said: "It doesn't matter no matter how many of these heretics with shallow beliefs die. The Holy Light Sect has been here for hundreds of years and has not developed many devout believers. It is a joke that they have to bring colonists from other places. I think this is the whole situation."  All the land has been polluted by heretical beliefs. Instead of developing believers here, it would be better to turn it into a barren land, like a wasteland."

    "Unfortunately, Bretonia is located in the hinterland of the mainland, and large-scale purification is not realistic yet. However, as long as the last resistance force is eliminated, although this land is vast, it will only be at the mercy of others.  "

      The commander nodded: "That's right, the purpose of our trip is also this Look, there is Dragon City not far ahead. But, why are there so many people outside the city?"

    This deputy leader of the Holy Knights and deputy commander of the expeditionary force is a high-level professional with amazing eyesight. He can see the situation outside Dragon City from a long distance.  This city, which had just ended the Holy War, was now surrounded by hundreds of thousands of legions. Those legions came from hundreds of forces around Dragon City, each with different banners.  Although the two sides did not fight, when the two armies faced each other, the solemn atmosphere was overwhelming.

    The deputy commander was about the same strength. He quickly saw the situation clearly and couldn't help but laugh: "These lackeys are really diligent. In just five days, so many people responded to the call of the Holy City and participated in the battle to annihilate Dragon City. Look.  After a hundred years, the influence of the Knight King has disappeared. "

    "Hmph, of course it is impossible to disappear. If it weren't for the lingering ghost of the King of Knights, how could the faith of our holy religion never spread? However, anyone with a brain should know that following an inexplicable little girl at this time,  If you become an enemy of the Holy Light Religion, what will happen? Is it the instinct of living things to survive?

    The deputy commander smiled and said: "The general is right."

    "These hundreds of thousands of troops gathered together are not elite divisions full of fighting spirit. They are just a group of jackals and wild dogs. Hundreds of thousands of people surrounded the city but did not dare to launch an attack. They had to wait for the arrival of the Blood Holy Knights.  In the eyes of the paladin commander, such a miscellaneous army is like mud on the soles of shoes.

    However, despite the contempt in my heart, after the war started, these hundreds of thousands of people were still indispensable help, especially there were as many as 100,000 professionals among them, although most of them were barely stuck on the edge of being professionals.  , but there are so many of them, and they can work wonders if used properly.

    According to the news from the Holy City, among these hundreds of thousands of people, there are three leading forces. They are the three largest cities around Dragon City and the three cities where the Holy Light Religion has the strongest penetration. Now they have received the Holy Light.  In accordance with the religious edict, the city lords of the three cities personally led their troops to fight.  According to the same news from the Holy City, as long as the Holy Knights appease and control these three forces, the remaining hundreds of thousands of people will naturally respond.

    When the Crazy Blood Holy Knights approached Dragon City, three teams from the legions outside the city were separated to meet the Knights.  The number of people in the team was not large, but their momentum was obviously better than the others around them. They were obviously the city lord's personal guards.

    The chief and deputy commanders of the Holy Knights looked at each other and smiled helplessly.  No matter how much you look down on them in your heart, since you want to rely on others' strength now, you have to give them face.  The three city lords took the initiative to come forward to greet them, so of course their own commanders and deputy commanders would also come forward.

    For the sake of caution, the two of them took the fifty most elite members of the knights and left the large army and stood on a hilltop with open terrain.  The team of the three city lords took a detour and soon went up the mountain.

    On the top of the mountain, the two commanders stood side by side, one on the left and the other on the right, with cold and solemn expressions on their faces, looking extremely unapproachable.  The next three city lords put on disgusting smiles.

    One of the city lords in the middle, whose status was obviously slightly better than the other two, took the lead and said with a smile: "Two generals, we have been waiting for a long time."

    The city lord was tall and strong, with a thick beard and a majestic appearance, but his rigid smile that was obviously deliberately put on made him look funny.

    "It is truly a blessing to be able to see the heroic figures of these two generals with my own eyes."

    As he spoke, he stepped forward and stretched out an arm, as if he wanted to shake hands with the paladin.

    However, the Paladin Commander has long been disgusted with these jackals and wild dogs. How can he shake hands with them?  He sneered, as if he didn't see the flattering gesture put on by the other party.

    When dealing with wild dogs, why give too many good looks?  Being willing to come out alone to meet him is already a gift from the Holy Light.  For creatures like these, tainted by hybrid blood, mere survival is original sin.

    However, the next moment, a sharp gaze suddenly flashed on that dull smiling face.  In his outstretched right hand, a sharp weapon slowly emerged from transparency.  The next moment, a golden light flashed before his eyes, and then the whole world fell into darkness.

    At the same time, the Paladins present were horrified to see the head coach flying high, with disbelief still in their eyes.
