After Becoming The Tyrant - Chapter 162

The army led by Pope theolde was dominated by the Templars, and the subsequent reserve was dominated by the fanatics. The army started from the Maison family’s territory, bypassed the PLO hills on the left side of Maison’s territory, crossed the Donald plain, and headed all the way to Newtown.

The march of this holy army was much longer than that of the old aristocratic army of Blaise led by the Duke of West. But the order of the Templars, under Pope theold’s command, was strict, light and simple, moving much faster than the northern army of the old aristocracy of Blaise.

A few days later, the Templars arrived in the south of sidot, not far from Newtown.

“The wind is against us, your majesty.”

Sissian accompanied theold to stand on the Bank of the river and watch.

The wind was blowing from the northwest. Before that, the fleet of small ships that had been ordered by the Pope to go up the lower sidot River gathered on the river, but the wind was so strong that the fleet in the South could not sail. The army, who was the first to reach the Bank of the river, watched anxiously as the river was wide and rough.

Originally, there was a bridge on both sides of the sidot river. But at this time, the logrand garrison on the other side of the sidot River blew up the bridge early. Within sight, at the end of the broken bridge on the other bank, stands a rogrand bunker as the outpost of Newtown.

It was getting dark, but the wind did not change and the wind did not decrease.

“The soldiers are already a little anxious.”

Sissian whispered to theold.

Their army is moving so fast at the cost of giving up carrying a lot of materials. Before the March, the required time had been calculated, and everyone only carried the necessary dry food according to the time. If they are trapped by the wind and stay here one more day, the soldiers will lose one more day of food. This is a terrible thing for a major army of nearly 20000 people.

It was Pope theold’s assurance before he set out that such a huge army would make such a march plan that could not be delayed or missed.

The promise made in the name of faith and God is no less than a double-edged sword. It can drive believers, but when it encounters resistance, it will also turn around and stab itself.

Sissian knew this well and had to feel extremely anxious about it.

Pope theold looked at him: “our war is for the protection of God.”

But the Lord will not

Cecilian was about to say something when he saw theold go forward.

In his white robe, theold walked on the wet sand of the river bank. His action caught everyone’s attention. As night drew near, the sun slanted down on the top of the mountain in the west, and the blood colored glow spread across the turbulent river.

“Your majesty

Seeing that theolde was about to enter the river, sissian was surprised and was about to catch up.

Theold stepped forward, and the nearshore water flowed under his robe.

He turns around like a mass, like a father’s arms toward his people. Sissian’s step forward suddenly, his familiar old friend’s body at this moment with a majestic mountain like dignity, the river waves from behind him, the setting sun of the sky shrouded in him, this scene overlaps with the portraits on the title page of all holy books.

At that moment, everyone thought they saw –

Holy Father!

“The Lord calls on us to give you a sword. He wants you to walk on the earth and build his kingdom for him. In the past, you have always waged unfair wars; you have always been fighting each other with weapons because of greed and arrogance, for which you will suffer eternal death and curse. [1] ”

” and now I will lead you to the war of eternal glory. [2] ”

” this battle is sacred! This is a battle of God’s blessing

“All those who hinder us will turn into those who protect us!”

Theold’s voice spread far in the wind, clear and powerful, with inviolable dignity. The crowd exclaimed, not only for the powerful majesty shown by Pope theold in front of them at this moment, but also for the miracle happened in front of them –

with theold’s resolute words, the wind from the northwest gradually changed its direction.

The last word fell like an order, and the wind rolled wildly between heaven and earth, blowing across the river – the wind direction changed completely!

The sails of the fleet, which stayed on the river and could hardly move forward, suddenly stirred and fluttered.

The sky reflects the words of theold!

“Fight for the holy empire! Fight for glory

Whispered theold.

“Fight for the holy empire! Fight for glory! God bless us Cried sissian, drawing out his sword and raising it high. Behind him, all the silver Knights drew their swords at the same time. The last ray of light in the sky slanted across the earth, and the sword pointed to the sky like a forest.

With the agitation of the sails, the army began to board the ship quickly. In the unprecedented high morale, all forces crossed the river.On the other side of the river, the rogrand soldiers, who were watching the enemy closely, did not hesitate to start shooting at the troops crossing the river from the blockhouse. On the top floor, someone blew the old bronze horn.

The bleak horn reverberates between heaven and earth, and the war begins again.

………………

The land was flooded by the fire of war, and the army and soldiers seemed to rush to the battlefield all the time.

The scarlet rose flag was rolled up by the wind. The king led an army of more than 10000 people across the kava mountains to the west of Jolin County, and arrived early in the northeast of Jolin County, at the foot of kava mountains, near the city of Duro on the Domar river.

They are going to fight an army of about 30000 people. As the armies of both sides approached, the scouts were finally able to re monitor the situation of the enemy’s troops. Their opponents were not the Knights of the temple, but a huge army composed of the old aristocrats of Blaise, mainly cavalry.

After the enemy’s military situation was determined, the officers had to be convinced of the king’s decision.

The Templars did not keep Pope theold in safe territory, but went out with the Pope.

Pope theold’s military plan is much bolder than the officers think, with the cities of Duro and Newtown as his targets – he’s divided. If the operation is really carried out according to the operational plan drawn up by the officers, when they concentrate on defending any one of Duro and newt, the other place must be attacked.

Now, when the king led his troops to Duro, General John was leading another army to launch an operation against the Templars.

Today’s battlefields of Legrand – or the battlefields of the world – are like a game of chess, where the Pope and the king fight each other quickly with their pieces on the chessboard. Only the two of them are equal rivals, the army, the people, the country, the faith It’s all chessmen driven by them.

They pushed the whole war situation and set off an unpredictable frenzy, even pushing themselves into the frenzy.

It’s a battle of two kings.

Outside Duro, where the army of Legrand was stationed.

The king rode slowly on his horse and inspected his troops. The soldiers stationed everywhere raised their swords to salute the king.

The king saluted them as knights – whether they were infantry, archers or reserves.

With the devil beside the king, he happily disguised himself as a human Knight – except for his pale face, he really looked like a human. In the eyes of the devil, human soldiers are mole ants, which do not need the king’s attention.

However, he did a good job of covering up his disdain for these ants – after all, they are His Majesty’s army.

In fact, the king suddenly had a completely strange Knight around him, which attracted many people’s attention. Moreover, the strange knight was almost replacing the position of the housekeeper and was always around the king. However, the king acquiesced in this. Although the officers complained, they had nothing to do.

“How did you guess that it would be the main force of the old aristocracy of Blaise, not the nasty Knights of the Holy See, who attacked Duro?”

When the devil is willing, he will never let the atmosphere fall into silence. Obviously, at this time, the king is more concerned about the current situation than other things.

“Because compared with the title of Pope, the title of emperor of holy empire is more suitable for West ord.” The king passed in front of the bowmen’s garrison, and while checking whether the trench protecting the bowmen had been excavated, he replied, “he won’t allow his troops to disobey their command. Instead of waiting for the old nobles of Blaise to interrupt his plan in the middle of the war, he would let them bite a hard bone first and learn a lesson. On the other hand, the city of Duro is closer to the city of herid. If the war situation really has too much influence, the holy protector of herid will intervene in the war situation. ”

As he spoke, the king left this front and rushed to the next one in the salute of the bowmen.

The king chose a gentle highland in front of Duro as a place for tactics and troops. It mingles between the kava forest and the northern plains of Donald. On one side of the highland, it is next to the forest. On the other side, it flows slowly by a stream. In front of the battlefield, there is a low depression. The king’s army was deployed in forests, towns and villages, and opened a battle net to intercept the old aristocratic army of Blaise. [3]

“and…”

The king gave a cold smile.

“He knew that we would intercept the old aristocracy of Blaise.”

Duro is too close to the doma River, and in the long run it poses a greater threat to Jolin than Newtown. Because once Duro is controlled, the holy army’s fleet is likely to attack Jolin County by water with the army on land through the doma river.

During the conversation, a scout came in a hurry.

The king reined in the reins.
