Chapter 310 Undercurrent

Croun didn't know that the reason why the enemy was unable to retreat was to hold back his ultimate move to deal with him.

His brave performance in several proactive attacks caused the decision-makers of the Kurud tribe to change their battle plan. They unanimously decided to use resources to pile up fifth-level extraordinary beings and then take the initiative to attack.

After all, a fierce man who kills a fourth-level silver warrior like a chicken has no corresponding strong constraints. It is equivalent to having a sharp sword hanging above his head when he goes out to fight. No one has the courage to be the vanguard.

Lannister sat in his seat with a calm expression.

The Brotherhood is a forcibly recruited force. If they are not engaged in battle, they will need to provide very few resources. Therefore, he was not anxious at all.

Cavendi frowned: "Intelligence shows that the cultists' camp has been built into a fortress. If we choose to attack by force, let alone how to transport so many soldiers there, even in comparison of the number of troops, we do not have an absolute advantage. Can break the situation in other ways.”

The airship bombing force has been targeted by the enemy. They have developed a flesh-and-blood alchemical beast. This monster is like a rotten large bat and can launch a self-destruction attack.

In short, whenever the airship troops are discovered, they are greeted by swarms of bats flying in the sky.

With their scarlet eyes flashing, these beasts bravely rushed onto the airship and performed a gorgeous explosion of flesh and blood.

Bats seem to have no sense of pain, and being hit by a combat airship's machine gun will not affect their combat effectiveness unless they are hit by artillery and beaten to pieces.

The airship could not withstand such a suicide attack at all, and suffered heavy losses. The cycle of manufacturing an airship was very long. If the number of enemy suicide bats were not enough, perhaps the airspace of the Rhine City Parish would have fallen.

As the spokesperson of the Pope’s will, Theo said in a deep voice:

"In the current situation, the Holy See is under huge logistical pressure, and most of the goods transported are bulk goods such as grain and grass. The transportation cost is higher than the value of the goods."

Rhine City is not the main food-producing area of ​​Faruk Kingdom. The food originally produced can barely sustain the consumption of the region. Now there are tens of thousands more extraordinary people, and it is suddenly stretched.

Although Rhine City is on the defensive side, it cannot afford to delay.

Now that the troops have dispersed, all the usable beasts and monsters within a radius of dozens of kilometers have been turned into meat reserves, and the gap is still not small.

In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the troops, necessary training is indispensable. Soldiers have a high demand for calories and their food reserves are consumed quickly.

Crown tried to recall the cases in his previous life and thought of ways to break the situation.

The originally hoped-for bombing plan was blocked, so long-range attack methods could only be tried. Long-range artillery could be tried.

But how to ensure the safety of the artillery camp is a big problem.

In addition, transporting artillery is also a problem. The mountainous terrain is steep, and it is also difficult to find a usable shooting point. There is a high probability that engineers will need to be sent to level out a place.

Thinking of this, he had a headache.

There was a lot of discussion in the conference room, but no practical plan was ever put forward.

Flanders suppressed the irritability in his heart and said in a deep voice:

"We will observe for another half month. If the current stalemate remains, we will launch a forceful attack."

He knew very well that troops from other parishes could not always be stationed here, and each parish also had its own problems that needed to be faced.

But without annihilating a group of the effective forces of the cultists, Rhine City would not be able to cope with subsequent attacks.

Theo whispered a few words to Flanders. The archbishop nodded calmly, stood up and announced:

"The meeting is over, Cavendi and Crown stay, and the others disperse."

The others left quickly, leaving only four people in the conference room.

Theo said: "If we choose to attack by force, the losses of the troops will be huge. In that case, maintaining the church's rule will be detrimental to the kingdom."

Crown narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Is there any other force in the kingdom that can fight against the church?"

The Church of the Flame Lord has been rooted in this land in the north of the continent for countless years. He does not believe that any force can challenge the authority of the church.

In his opinion, the hegemony of the church will be challenged only after the evil god truly revives, but not now.

Theo's eyebrows were lowered and he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly:

“The Saxon family now has the support of the big factory owners and is unwilling to be suppressed forever by the church.

Recently, we received a tip that the Saxon family now has at least two powerful men with silver rank. "

The Kingdom of Farouk is also known as the Saxon Dynasty, which refers to the fact that the king's blood comes from the Saxon family.

Flanders nodded slightly and said, "I understand the Pope's concerns. We will find other ways to deal with the attack of the cultists."

Theo stood up and saluted respectfully:

"Your Excellencies, since the king has not made the matter about the Saxon family public, His Majesty the Pope wants us not to spread it."

"We understand."

"Your Excellencies should still be discussing the military situation. I'll take my leave first." Theo stepped back and left.

Crown sat up straight and asked, "The church's control over the kingdom is not as strong as I feel."

Although he had heard Nick describe the situation in the kingdom, what he saw and heard later was that the church was a dominant force and had no rivals.

Bly City is the seat of the Holy See and the capital of the kingdom. However, during his stay in Bly City, he did not discover the conflict between the royal family and the church, nor did he hear any rumored information from others.

Leng Buding was a little shocked when he heard this situation.

He has not paid serious attention to the undercurrents of the kingdom, but he still has discernment.

If the situation in the kingdom has reached its current state, there is no reason why clues cannot be discovered.

Flanders was silent for a few seconds and then said:

"In the areas you have been to, whether it is the Diocese of Rhine City or the City of Blay, the power of the church is unique, so it is normal not to notice it.

The power of the king's family is mainly concentrated in the south of the kingdom, especially in the provinces bordering the Kingdom of Ribia.

The city of Bligh is nominally the royal capital, but the king spends more than half of the year in Firestone City in the province of Lehat.

The real administrative center of the kingdom is not the city of Bly. "

The archbishop leaned forward and continued in a very low voice:

"The Saxon family has the bloodline of the God of Fire and has three branches. When the church was established, the king also had the status of pope.

Later, the Saxon family fought for the throne and the foundation of the family was shaken. The position of the Pope fell by the wayside. "

He turned his head and stared at Croun with burning eyes:

“Nowadays, the spiritual density of the world has increased, and I guess that the bloodline of gods is more sensitive to spiritual changes.

If the Saxon family regains its former glory, it will definitely claim the papal position.

The evil god has resurrected, and the contradiction between royal power and divine power has been highlighted. It's been such a troubled time. "

There was a bloodline of the Son of God in front of him. Although he couldn't figure out which god's bloodline it was, there was no doubt that the opponent's strength expanded like a balloon.

Crown bared his teeth and asked uncertainly:

"The Saxon family is in civil strife, and the Pope's position has fallen by the wayside. The church's library will not include these secret information. Where did you get the information?

If the gods come to the world again and see the rights that belong to their descendants being deprived of by outsiders, how will the Pope end up? "

In the holy scriptures of the church, the pope has been gifted by God to become his spokesman on earth. Now the spiritual concentration of the material world is constantly increasing, and the material world and the kingdom of God are also getting closer.

When the two dimensions are connected and gods come to the world, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the current Pope?

Cavendi said leisurely: "The MacLean family is one of the few remaining ancient families on the mainland, and their power spreads across several kingdoms.

For us, the past history is considered secret, but in the libraries of such families, there may be records. "

Flanders waved his hand and did not describe the glory of the McLean family, but answered Crown's question:

“For the gods, whether it is the surviving descendants or other people, it makes little difference who is the pope. As long as he can convey the glory of the gods and make the church glorious and strong, he is a good pope.

I don’t know how many generations these descendants have been passed down, and the bond of blood is very weak.

What I'm worried about is that the king's power and the church's power will clash violently, leaving a mess that the evil gods can take advantage of. "

As the spiritual wave recedes, the divine gods will return to the sky, and the resurrected evil gods will fall into slumber again, but the battle between the various forces in the earthly kingdom will never end.

Before the Red Moon Incident, there would be a major war between churches, kingdoms, and nobles in the kingdom every thirty or forty years, and small-scale battles never stopped.

If it weren't for the sudden change in heaven and earth, the mainland would still be full of wars.

Cavendi suddenly interjected:

"According to past experience, it is estimated that Pope Osman Deluc only has a life span of twenty or thirty years. Even if he is too greedy for power, his life span will be irreversible.

If the Saxon family was wise, it would have been more than ten years before they launched the attack. "

"Who can predict what will happen in the future? I hope the kingdom will be peaceful until that day.

I don't understand why Osman is still on guard against the Saxon family. He doesn't have much time left.

The evil god’s resurrection is imminent, shouldn’t it be more important to maintain stability? "

Flanders spread his hands as if he didn't care, and said a little tiredly:

"The most important thing before us now is how to break the situation. The cultists are like nails. If we don't cripple them, the Rhine City Diocese will not have a stable life in the future.

It seems that it will be difficult to carry out the forceful attack. "

Crown thought for a moment and said:

"Then we will build a batch of very simple airships, as long as they can fly, the purpose is to consume the enemy's air power.

The number of self-destructing big bats is not particularly large. After consuming a batch, a real bombing formation will be sent out.

If the enemy does not come out, we will force them to come out. "

Flanders thought about it for a while and nodded:

"That's all we can do, I'll inform the Rare Object Manufacturing Association.

Have you been to a cultist's camp recently, and the enemies still can't get out? "

Crown smiled bitterly: "Yes, seeing my arrival, those units that were in the air also landed back.

I don't know what's true in their camp, and I can't rush in rashly. "

During this period of time, he had no success at all, but he often traveled between the two places, and his proficiency in flying thaumaturgy increased a lot, otherwise he would have been even more miserable.

"Okay, let's break up."

. . . .

36 Baker Street.

The war did not start for a long time, and Crown did not stay in the military camp at night, but returned to his mansion in the Rhine City.

When the carriage returned to the mansion in the afterglow of the sun, a chubby white giant bear that had been waiting at the door stood upright and raised its fleshy paws.

Crown stepped out of the carriage and saw Arcturus with an aggrieved expression, and asked:

"Did you get beaten again?"

Ice Bear nodded hurriedly.

After this period of domestication, the pet's size has grown rapidly, and the soul damage caused by stripping off the original owner's contract mark has also healed.

Although the white bear is huge, its physical strength is far inferior to that of third-level Fujin and Buster, and it is often repaired by two veterans.

Crow and Black Cat were also smart enough to not cause any visible injuries.

Crown just laughed it off and didn't go out of his way to support Arcturus.

"Grow up quickly and get back on your own in the future."

"Woo" the white bear whimpered and followed its owner staggeringly.

Under the setting sun, the shadows of a man and a bear folded on the wall.

After dinner, Croun checked the tamers' work and saw that none of them were slacking off, so he let these guys roam freely.

Fokine grabbed Buster as usual and started the 'twosome' nightlife.

The white bear rarely enjoyed the time when he was not bullied, so he happily ran back to his den to watch.

The owner gave it the Golden Light Taoist Seed a few days ago and told it, 'If you want to become stronger than Fujin, you must spend enough time meditating every day. ’

It is very motivated to take revenge.

Crown came to the training ground, released bullet time, and began to practice the Barebone Breathing Technique.

During this period of time, he has been insisting on using the hourglass of time, but for some reason, this spirit master has not advanced to the fourth level.

However, through his continuous exploration of Mangu Breathing Method, he has mastered the best way to exercise at present.

The power of Qi and blood was activated, and the dragon's shadow flew up and down with his movements.

The muscles and bones roared together, and the invisible force hammered the bones and internal organs.

Whenever silver blood is produced, the waste blood evaporates out of the body with the flow of Qi and blood, and a red mist evaporates around his body.

After the exercise, Kroun just felt refreshed.

He pulled up a chair and sat quietly, allowing the surging blood to calm down.

Visualizing the golden light spell works best when the body is in a peaceful state, so he took advantage of this gap to summon the golden wall.

[Golden Light Spell: 51642/300000; Level 4]

[Barbarian Bone Breathing Method: 40581/50000; Level 4]

He expected that the Breathing Technique would be advanced this month, and the Golden Light Spell would be completed and raised to 100,000 points within half a year.

The changes in the kingdom have nothing to do with him. He just wants a stable liver experience.

A fifth-level transcendent cannot control the situation in the kingdom with his fists, but what about a sixth-level one? What about the divine level of Stigmata Gold?

In a world where personal power belongs to oneself, it can only be achieved through strength, and many things are at your fingertips.

He didn't need to fight for anything, someone would just send it to him.

To others, training day after day seems boring. That's because they lack a plug-in to see progress all the time.
