Chapter 599: The Decisive Battle
Under such circumstances, the shortcomings of the Mengjia Empire's weakness over the years broke out in an all-round way, and problems such as the uneven quality of soldiers also broke out, and deserters also began to appear.
Odonna's retreat was also a last resort, otherwise the entire army would be wiped out, and Sely agreed.
But in fact, they still made a very serious mistake.
At this time, the only option is to stand by and wait for help, even if there is only one soldier in the battle.
It's a pity that the Titan has died in battle, and everyone's understanding of war is different.
Odonna and Sely felt that Mengjia was their world, slowly consuming the enemy, but ignored it, and the army was defeated like a mountain.
"Commander Odona, the distress letter has been sent to the imperial capital. We need to gather more legions, especially to find a solution to Longmo!"
Sely is also anxious these days.
"If it doesn't work, let's retreat again. The current army is simply not enough."
Odona also had a headache, "I asked the Adventurer's Guild to sign the adventurers to participate in the war. The land behind is Mengjia. We have no way to retreat. We can only fight with the city defense."
"But……"
Sely smiled wryly, even a war fortress couldn't resist it, let alone a city.
At this time, the orderly of the Holy See arrived.
"Odona listened to the order on behalf of the army commander. Now you will take over as the commander of the Legion of Glory. Sely will be the commander of the second army. He will stick to Porto City. Reinforcements are about to arrive. Those who retreat will be punished as treason!"
This is the Pope's final order.
Odona and Sely could only take orders, but they didn't know how to fight this war at all.
Their strength is not weak, but unfortunately, they all lack one thing, and that is faith!
The victory of Duolan City also spread to the imperial capital, but it could not dispel the haze of the fall of Anxi Fortress. People were a little confused, why did the diamond-level invincible fighter suddenly fall from the peak of victory, and this fall was hell.
But the Burning Legion, which has been retreating steadily, has undergone an earth-shaking change. Aiolia, who is known as the god of thunder, was beheaded by Arthur himself, and his army of savages was also beaten to pieces.
Now the Divine Grace Province has become the safest place in the empire, and Duolan City will be the last place to be affected by the war, even if the entire Mengjia has fallen.
Those who moved away from the surrounding area of Dolan even felt like crying this time. At this time, people are extraordinarily superstitious. Dolan City does not have strong defenses, but it can withstand the barbarian army.
Now a corner of the unbreakable empire has been breached, and the province of Shenyue is exposed to the army of the Saron Empire. This is the next thing. The most worrying thing now is the central battlefield where the Pope is. If the Saron Empire raids from behind, it will really be over.
The Pope sitting in the Fortress of Sighs really sighed.
After so many days of war, coming and going, the strength of the Hannibal Empire has been fully seen. If this continues, if the war has not changed, Meng Jia is really in danger.
The current Meng Jia is like a bluffing paper tiger, some of which are just history and past glory. Once the enemy knows his real situation, the real crisis will come.
Benedict XV did not expect that the fire demon king could still use such power after borrowing the human body, which is really stretched.
The Knight Legion is fighting against the Kingdom of the Wind, as well as the Wind Demon King Fengtuo. It is not bad to have a stable situation now. Nebeiro also said that he cannot reinforce it, and Benedict XV can't say anything.
The wilderness's big victory was an unexpected surprise. Benedict XV knew exactly what kind of goods the Burning Legion was, but was it because the wilderness was too weak to defeat the wilderness army?
It is obviously not parallel imports that can make the Kingdom of Winds fail, but they failed in front of the Burning Legion. Arthur's leadership and command skills have been fully demonstrated.
Hu Xie has also retired, and the older generation is gradually being eliminated. Hu Xie can retire, but he can't. He is the pope.
"Give me an order to rectify the legion. Tomorrow, I will fight Xuanye Hannibal!"
It was time for Benedict XV to fight.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Bot said respectfully. The Pope had to do something when the war developed to this point, otherwise he really couldn't hold it.
In the Fortress of Brilliance, Nebero didn’t want to support himself, but he was helpless. Fengtuo put a lot of pressure on him. Dividing his troops would not solve the problem, but would only weaken his own strength. The victory or defeat of this war is not with Saron or him, but with the Pope. As long as the Pope can win, other places are small problems, but if the Pope can’t defeat Hannibal, it’s useless to win everywhere else.
"Why do I feel that the wind direction is not good? If this goes on, don't we have to face the enemy?"
After the fall of Fort Anxi, Greg's confidence plummeted, and he didn't know what to do.
Nebello sighed, "The Pope will definitely use his real strength, but in the face of Hannibal's strength, whoever wins and loses is only a matter of five or five. The Pope wins, and the Saron Empire is not a problem."
In the second half, Nebeiro didn't say anything. If the main battlefield is lost, then Mengjia will really suffer a catastrophe.
If that was the case, Nebero could only focus on Fortress Brilliance to cover a province, and think of other ways, and this strength and force would become the most important.
"I really can't figure it out, then Aiolia is not the Thunder Demon King, how could he be killed by Arthur, it's a hell!" Greg started spitting again.
Nebeiro was not surprised. He also had enough confidence in facing Fengtuo. The problems faced by Titan were not a problem for him. To be honest, the Saron Empire did not put Nebero in his eyes. The army strength was very weak, but the death of Taitan played a role in the psychological warfare with Longmo. Facing him, he had enough confidence to kill the opponent.
It's just that Nebeiro doesn't want to be cannon fodder. Of course he hopes to inherit Mengjia, but the overall situation in front of him is here. Before the situation is clear, he is not willing to exert his strength.
Feng Tuo on the opposite side probably had the same idea. Although the two sides fought happily, it was actually a battle of thunder and rain.
Among the four demon kings, Fire Demon King is irritable and aggressive, self-righteous, Wind Demon King is the most calm and conceited, while Thunder Demon King is impatient, but resourceful, and Aiolia is also a character. I didn't expect him to be so vulnerable to Arthur. Nebello was also a little puzzled, but because of the results of the two battlefields, the Pope was forced to wait no longer.
The Pope is waiting for the results of the other three battlefields, and then exerting his strength. The current situation forces him to exert his strength first. From a certain point of view, this situation is also what Nebello wants to see most.
For the measurement of strength and situation, everyone has their own sand table.
Others can wait, but not Benedict XV because he is the pope!
The most critical battle of the war came. Xuanye readily accepted the Pope's challenge. Hannibal was not afraid to fight. Xuanye wanted to defeat Mengjia completely because he had the strength to defeat the strongest army of the Holy See and complete the last transformation of Hannibal's legion.
The strong are those who become stronger in the face of challenges.
In the big camp, Xuan Ye looked at the hundreds of generals above Jinyao level, "Tomorrow, we will step on the peak of the Holy See's thousand-year-old glory, do you have confidence?"
Everyone's eyes are burning with the strongest fighting spirit, the prestige and mystery of the Holy See can no longer stop the most surging hearts of these strong men.
At daybreak, the assembly horns sounded all over the sky, Hannibal's legion lined up neatly, and the pope's legion on the opposite side also walked out of the fortress. This will be a battle that will be recorded in history.
Xuan Ye took the lead, followed by rows of dark gold warriors, Jinyao warriors, exuding a bloodthirsty desire for Hannibal's warriors.
On the other side, the Holy See's world-renowned Knights of Order also came out, which is a symbol of invincibility, and this time Pope Benedict XV personally led the conquest.
In a battle led by the Pope himself, there is never a defeat, holy war, is glory.
The tens of millions of troops confronting each other felt like covering the sky and blocking out the sun.
Xuan Ye. Hannibal's heart is full of passion. The dreams of Hannibal's ancestors for generations are about to come true in him. He defeated Meng Jia, defeated the Holy See, and achieved great achievements. From today on, Hannibal will replace the Holy See as the king of the world.
"Warriors of Hannibal, here today, we will conquer the world!"
Xuan Ye raised the sword in his hand, and the soldiers behind him rushed to the sky cheering like waves.
Hannibal's momentum and power had reached the peak of unstoppable, and there was nothing in the Beast God Continent that could stop them.
The Pope looked at the army in front of him. Behind him were the inner court jihad knights, Bixiu and other generals, as well as the Knights that the Holy See had been cultivating secretly. This battle must be faced, even if it means sacrificing one's life.
As Pope, he had waited a long, long time for this day.
The Pope gradually flew up, and his body began to emit light. Hannibal's tide-like shouts hit him like a wave of air, and the Pope's wrinkled face gradually stretched out. Time turned back on the Pope, and Benedict XV seemed to have returned to the peak of his thirties.
That's right, it's youth and strength.
That is the unparalleled Holy See in the world, and that is the spokesperson of God—the Pope!
The pope's scepter was pointed at the enemy, and the ground trembled for a moment.
Hannibal's legions had begun to move, but the pope gave no order to attack.
"Any heresy will accept the wrath of God!"
The sound spread throughout the entire battlefield without hindrance, and nothing could stop it. With the pope's anger, the ground trembled, and Hannibal's vanguard knights turned their backs, and cracks appeared on the ground, as if they felt the pope's anger.
"I said, those firm believers will be honored by the Beast God!"
The scepter pointed to the sky, and the sky shrouded in the clouds of the war poured out golden light, sprinkled on the soldiers one by one, and the strength surged from the bottom of their hearts.
"The glory of the beast god!"
"The glory of the beast god!"
Everyone drew out their swords, and the rumbling army pressed towards the enemy.
They are the undefeated Holy See, and they represent the will of God.
This is a battle that will determine the fate of the mainland, and the curtain has finally begun.
