The Priestess Of Rodona - Chapter 108 Chapter 108

“Good, let’s welcome them then.” The priest said while stepping on the guard number one who was pointed as his stool previously.

“Quickly pack everything away before the others are here.” The priest said while making his outer appearance to look dirtier by placing mud and dirt to his robes.

“Gah, this is such a sickening look at me being dirty. I really hope this will soon be over that I can change these robes.” The priest complained.

“Why the fuck you are still being lazy there pack everything now!” The priest shouted out while turning around and seeing that his guards haven’t even finished packing.

The guards finished just in time as when they placed the last item to their spatial bag; a person appeared in front of them.

“We… welcome cardinal.” The priest and the bodyguards bowed down in front of this man.

“Priest Jonn, you have done a great job today, finding the right person, but why you look worse than your guards?” The cardinal asked out from the priest.

“As these two didn’t have enough faith.

When I said that the target is close, they didn’t believe me and said who would be here in this godforsaken place.

But I kept my faith and went alone to the forest’s and hills to search, and I finally found the target like my faith had told me.

It was constantly leading me, and I never gave up like these two braindead idiots.

But I was so merciful that I kept them in my side and didn’t drive them away as they didn’t have any faith.

As I know, they are only muscles and not any brain, so I let it go.” Jonn was exaggerating the story and was making him the only founder of this place.

“I see, remember that your merciful side also can cost a lot for you in the future.

So you should also choose your servants more carefully in the future, but I will let this go now as we have more important things to do.” The cardinal said while watching into the distance.

“You two, why aren’t you already kneeling down and thanking the cardinal for sparing your life’s,” Jonn said while hitting both of the guard many times before they kneeled down and in union said.

“Thank you for being merciful for us cardinal.”

The cardinal didn’t say anything before the report came in.

“We have found an old abandoned town about two hundred meters from your position.

Waiting for the next orders.” A report came from a magic tool, and the cardinal answered.

“Wait there for me and the rest of us before moving forward.” The cardinal said while closing the device.

“Follow me, Jonn, and you might even get a promotion for the work you have done today.” The cardinal said while starting to hurry towards the abandoned town.

He tried his best to keep up with the cardinal, but he was slowly getting left behind, and in the end, he lost the cardinal.

When he slowly came to the point, he was sweaty and gasping for air as he couldn’t breathe properly.

When he looked up, he saw the church’s elite force of fighters and the cardinal listening to the reports.

“So we have today fifty of our best men where thirty is more comfortable with close combat and twenty in ranged.

From thirty ten are considered as the tanks as they are comfortable using heavy armor with large kite shield and mace.

Five are experienced with spears, and others give with poleaxes.

The rest are using swords and small shields or then two weapons of their choice.

For the ranged, ten are using crossbow’s, and five are using longbows, and the other five are using short bows.

No siege equipment or resources to stockpile are available.” The captain gave the report to the cardinal.

“Okay, what about the target?” The cardinal asked out.

“The target has been located and is currently inside a stone church middle of the town.

Hostile forces are unknown, but everything is located inside the church as the town was abandoned a long time ago, and the only standing building is the church.” The commander efficiently gave the report.

“Is the stone church surrounded by obstacles?

And how many entrances there are to the church?” The cardinal asked out once again, trying his best to come out with a plan.

“No obstacles around and only one entrance to the church if you don’t count the large windows.

If you count those, then there is five on each side and one at the back.” The commander said while giving his best report with the information he had.

“Do we have any oil or anything that we could to the arrowheads that could be lighted up?” The cardinal asked, and the commander answered.

“We have two barrels of raw oil.”

“Good make it three and place five archers to each side of the church.

Make then shoot the flaming arrows inside the church and assign either spears or poleaxes to each side with some of the mixed soldiers just to confirm that no one escapes.

Then for the front door, make a barricade with the tanks and assigned the rest of the arches to shoot between them and the rest of the soldiers behind them and to their side without leaving any exit for them.” The cardinal voiced out his battle strategy out.

The commander saluted out and started to give orders to the fifty people that were waiting for the orders.

When they got the orders, they also saluted out and started to prepare themselves for the coming battle.
