At noon on October 18, the 300,000-strong Shancha Army approached the main city of Delphi Fortress. (It was said to be 300,000, but the number of main combat troops plus mercenaries was only about 40,000, and the rest were all logistics personnel.)
Now they were less than four kilometers from Delphi.
At this time, at the Chinese Army Command, Lord Sintis Shancha was giving orders, directing the advance of the 40,000 main battle troops.
Commanding a battle force of 40,000 people is no easy task.
Just think about primary school teachers. It's not easy to lead 20 or 30 children on a spring outing at a time, let alone command an army of 40,000 people to fight.
Although he was very tired, Grand Duke Xintis was now in a happy mood. He was giving orders and humming an unknown tavern tune.
Next to him was Pym Shancha, who had now recovered from the sadness of being "killed by the Minotaur".
After all, only Saint Andrew knew about this matter, and Saint Andrew would certainly not spread the gossip casually.
Since no one knows that he has been cheated on, he can treat it as if it never happened!
In addition, the war was imminent, so he put aside the matter of being cheated.
Seeing that Sintis was in a good mood, Pim Shancha immediately smiled and said: "Sintis, you are in a good mood! It seems that you are very optimistic about the prospects of this war?"
"Of course!" Grand Duke Xintis drove the precious thoroughbred horse forward slowly while turning his head and saying:
"I am very confident in this war!
You see, we have 40,000 soldiers who are not afraid of sacrifice, as well as 8 siege engines, 10 battering rams, 5 heavy trebuchets, hundreds of military heavy crossbows, and most importantly, Saint Andrew
The adults agreed to join the war as the first group... It gives me the feeling that it is even difficult to lose this war!"
"Yes!" Pim Shancha also sighed slightly: "Not only these, but without the blessing of the saint, the enemy's quality of strong men and the number of troops have also dropped to historical lows.
I believe it won’t be long before we can capture this dream city!”
"You are right." Grand Duke Xintis' face began to look serious:
"Actually, I don't pay much attention to these enemies in front of me. My main consideration now is how we can occupy the entire Principality of Lane after we capture Delphi? And a more important question, how should we deal with it?
Royal pressure?
You must know that after we take over the entire Principality of Lane, the area under our jurisdiction will be larger than that of the royal family! At that time, the royal family will definitely ask, "Does the Kingdom of Anjou belong to the Iris family? Or does it belong to the Camellia family?" An update
A big war may come like this."
Pim Shancha nodded in approval.
But before he could say anything, the second steward of Archduke Sintis, Timst, ran towards them quickly.
Timst's face was filled with joy, and he waved a letter as he ran: "Sir! Great news! The news we have been waiting for has finally arrived!"
"Oh?" Grand Duke Xintis looked over quickly: "Did it come from the royal capital?"
"That's right, sir!" Timester, the butler, replied excitedly.
"Finally a letter!" Grand Duke Xintis was overjoyed and used [Mage's Hand] to seize the magic communication and read it carefully.
Then he said to Pim Shancha: "Pim, please take my place for the time being. I'll go see the Saint and I'll be back in a few minutes!"
"Okay." Although Pim Shancha didn't know what Xintis wanted to do, he readily agreed.
.
.
Three minutes later, Sintis saw Saint Andrew in a luxurious carriage behind the army.
He said happily: "Lord Saint, I received a magic communication: Cardinal Singares has put pressure on Archbishop Simons of Palomia, and Archbishop Simons has agreed to postpone the treatment of Thor's injuries.
In other words, we will not see Thor in this war!"
"Very good! The church finally did something good." Saint Andrew showed a smile on his face:
"Without the uncertainty factor of Thor, nothing can stop us from taking the Delphi Fortress... By the way, Sintis, remember to show some goodwill to the church for me."
"Understood? Lord Saint!" Grand Duke Xintis replied.
.
.
At the same time, more than a hundred kilometers away, in the underground cave of Palomia Holy Light Church.
Archbishop Simmons stood next to the [Fountain of Light] and sighed slightly.
The reason why he brought Thor to this underground cave to heal his wounds before? The purpose was very pure. One was to have a good relationship with Sean; the other was to use four sky-level powerhouses to charge the [Fountain of Light].
Until just now? He received a magical communication from Cardinal Singres of the Anjou capital.
The communication said that he was asked to suspend the treatment of Thor, and at the same time, he was promised a benefit that was difficult to refuse.
Originally, Archbishop Simmons was not willing to risk offending His Highness Sean by doing such a thing.
But they gave too much!
And as a direct subordinate of the cardinal? He was too embarrassed to refuse.
So he came to the side of the [Fountain of Light]? Through a series of special spells, the originally gushing [Fountain of Light] suddenly calmed down.
Gradually, the pond filled with light energy began to wither and dry up, and the light energy also lost its luster and became darker and darker.
After doing all this, Archbishop Simons returned to the surface through an unknown secret passage next to the [Fountain of Light].
.
Ten minutes later? Anduin, sweating profusely, arrived at the residence of Archbishop Simons.
Archbishop Simmons pretended not to know what happened, but said gently: "Hey! It's Anduin! Didn't today's treatment start yet? Why did you come to me so early?"
Anduin didn't know that all this was caused by Archbishop Simons, and said eagerly: "Archbishop, go and have a look! [Fountain of Light] seems to have stopped running! [Fountain of Light] has stopped spinning? Thor's
The injury seems to be starting to happen again!”
The treatment for Thor's injury some time ago has been very smooth. The main task is to introduce a large amount of light energy into his body, sort out, assimilate, and dispel the mixed foreign energy in his body.
Now that the light energy is cut off, Thor's side is completely finished!
"How could it be possible?!" Archbishop Simons' face was full of surprise: "Since the year I was born, [Fountain of Light] has not had any problems? Anduin, are you wrong?"
"How could I be wrong? Go and have a look! The [Fountain of Light] has completely dried up since you went there too late!"
Chapter completed!
