Chapter 737 If you can’t push the plot, then write your own script
The knife left on the statue of the God of Light.
With hatred as deep as bone marrow.
The visitor was covered tightly by a pitch black cloak, like a mouse hiding in a dark corner unable to see the light. Only when he rushed towards the statue of the God of Light, the light of the sword he swung reflected the color of his eyes.
Bang!
Then a huge black dragon claw pressed on the face of the statue.
It also caused darkness in front of me.
…
When the claws came down, Xu Shuo reflexively leaned back and tried to avoid it, but the next scene also disappeared.
The gray-white gradient layer in the field of vision gradually became clearer.
A low but ethereal chanting sound sounded in my ears. The pronunciation was weird, but it had a mysterious rhythm of its own.
Xu Shuo turned his head and looked over.
Then he saw several bishops surrounding him in praying postures. The sun crown mark between their brows flashed, golden light lingered, and their bodies were sacred and solemn. That wonderful chanting sound emanated from them.
"You're awake...His Majesty the Pope!"
Zuo Fang's eyes lit up, but when he remembered his identity, he didn't move closer rashly.
After seeing Xu Shuo's eyes recover, Zuo Fang guessed that he was about to wake up, and he was convinced when he saw the young man turning his head and looking at his side.
And after he finished speaking.
The archbishops around also opened their eyes, and immediately lost their solemn and sacred look just now, and just hurriedly checked on the status of their own lord the pope.
"Your Holiness, you..."
"I'm fine."
Xu Shuo sat up from the bed and stroked his eyebrows thoughtfully.
He really never thought that the power of faith could actually connect him to the statue of the God of Light in Guangming City, and he could almost feel the nearby scenes and changes personally.
Therefore, we also know more clearly what the damage to the statue of the God of Light represents.
Xu Shuo glanced at Catalina not far away.
Just like the Elven Holy Tree of the Ice and Snow Elves, the damage to the Holy Tree caused the inheritance of their Ice and Snow Elf clan to be cut off, because that was the collapse of the power of faith.
But who would have thought.
The carrier of faith of the Holy See of Light actually stood so generously under the sky, allowing it to be exposed to the sun and rain for thousands of years.
Don't say that outsiders can't think of it.
Even the current Holy See of Light cannot think of it.
But this is a secret.
Now it seems that someone has discovered it.
The only thing that can be called fortunate now is that even if the power of faith of the Holy See of Light collapses, it will not cause any great harm to the priests with the Sun Crown. For example, like the ice and snow elves, it will directly lead to the severance of blood inheritance.
It will only affect their strength.
And this is strength.
Players can also make up for it the day after tomorrow.
But no matter what, this is not a good thing for the Holy See of Light.
"I have nothing to do, but it may not be peaceful tonight. You go down and arrange the Holy See Army first." Xu Shuo said to several bishops.
The Holy See Army has to work overtime.
That will naturally ensure sufficient energy.
While the power of faith has not been further destroyed, if several bishops pray and bless it, the Holy See Army can at least be restored to its peak state.
A certain archbishop's eyes moved slightly: "Your Holiness, has something happened in Guangming City?"
Xu Shuo looked at him: "What do you know?"
"Before you fall asleep, we have just received news from Guangming City, but they only said that there have been changes in Guangming City. Let us end the war here as soon as possible." The Overlord handed over the magic stone as he spoke.
"I understand, you guys go down first."
Xu Shuo didn't comment on this. He took the magic stone and just glanced at it casually.
When the Holy Lady of Light called him, the bishop who stayed behind in the Church of Light naturally also conveyed the news on the other side, but probably in order to prevent the other side from being distracted and anxious, they did not say specifically what happened.
When there is a problem with the power of faith, it is really not something that can be explained clearly in a few words.
Although the several bishops were a little worried, they were not too panicked. After seeing that the Pope was safe, they followed his instructions and retreated.
After they leave.
Zuo Fang couldn't hold it in anymore and asked hurriedly: "What happened? This elf just said it was a religious riot. Was the Holy See under attack?"
When Xu Shuo heard this, he looked at Catalina who was standing in the corner of the bedroom.
The bishops were praying here just now, and the entire space was filled with rich light power.
As for Catalina, who was exercising the power of Dawn Faith, she couldn't get close to her, but she didn't want to leave either, so she simply huddled in the corner and waited silently.
Looking at Xu Shuo at this moment, Catalina said firmly: "There must be a problem with your faith."
Xu Shuo just looked Catalina up and down without saying anything, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Zuo Fang asked directly: "What do you think of? Don't hold it back all the time. There are no outsiders here. Let's talk about it and let's think about it together."
Xu Shuo glanced at him: "It's just a useless question. I'm just wondering why the power of faith must be carried by external objects instead of all being lodged in the body."
Put a pause on the left: "..."
This is really a useless question.
But then.
Xu Shuo added: "But then I thought about it, if I don't live in the power of flesh and blood, maybe there is no one who can carry this power."
As the Pope of the Holy See of Light, Xu Shuo's feeling is the most intuitive about the exercise of light in this generation.
When the mind turns to the body of the statue of the God of Light.
His vision was in a mess, with countless scenes blended into a chaotic gradient layer, and his ears were unable to distinguish the sounds that were ringing in his mind all the time.
Although those sounds are not harsh or weird, the dense rhythms and the feeling of being unable to hear them clearly can still make people feel a little irritated.
If I guess correctly.
That is probably the prayer and wish of countless believers.
The belief of sentient beings is very scary.
Maybe you can hear clearly the appeals of one person, the appeals of ten people, or even the appeals of hundreds of people.
But it is absolutely impossible to withstand the voices of tens of thousands of people.
Because you are not really a god.
…
"Then do you still want me to go there?"
After understanding the situation in Guangming City at the moment, Zuo Fang asked seriously.
Although he was unwilling before, he just felt that there was no need to worry about the situation in Guangming City, so he was too lazy to run in both directions.
But now I know the importance of the statue of the God of Light.
He doesn't mind making another trip either.
Xu Shuo thought for a moment and said, "Not yet. You will lead the team to attack Fal City tonight. Regardless of whether Walder XVIII and the Imperial Army are there or not, we must first capture the city-states surrounding the royal capital."
When Zuo Fang heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched: "For now? So you mean, I have to finish the battle before rushing to Guangming City to help, right?"
Xu Shuo looked at him and smiled.
Zuo Fang gritted his teeth: "You are definitely a wicked capitalist outside!"
Xu Shuo raised his eyebrows and said: "In that case, then you stay here to take charge of the overall situation and fight against the Imperial Army and King Walder XVIII. I will go back to Guangming City to deal with those two troublesome people."
Hear this.
Zuo Fang was not surprised and delighted at the first moment. Instead, he looked at him up and down with suspicion, and then flatly refused: "Forget it!"
What if it's this guy's provocation?
This is about a hundred pounds of people.
Ninety-nine pounds of bone.
Xu Shuo sneered.
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside.
Catalina was closest to the door and opened the bedroom door.
Then two people came in immediately, one was the leader of the Obsidian Knights, and the other was Princess Teresa who squeezed in along with him.
Princess Teresa is here to increase her presence.
We are all players of the same camp, but this group of people is conspiring in the room, why not bring her along?
After entering the room, Teresa gave Catalina a jealous and provocative look as usual, and then cast her sticky eyes on the Pope of Light.
Catalina: "?"
Is there something wrong with this princess of the human empire?
After seeing the Pope of Light, the Obsidian Knights immediately bowed in reverence and then stepped forward to talk about business.
…
After the chaos in the royal capital ended, the Obsidian Knights were sent out to investigate the whereabouts of King Wald XVIII, and later received instructions to sneak into the city of Fal where Duke Russo was located.
And now they bring news.
After the several major military districts in the royal capital retreated, they were actually stationed in Fal City, and they had already prepared their troops and formed their formations.
But the whereabouts of Walder XVIII are still unknown.
In fact, when the incident at Pallas Gate happened today.
Xu Shuo had been paying close attention to the whereabouts of Wald XVIII, and when Prince Golan broke into the coronation ceremony, he also noticed the movement of General Royce.
Just after observing.
It was confirmed that General Royce was fake.
In other words, it is not the General Royce from last time, and the possibility of it being Walder XVIII is also very small, even if their skeletons and appearances are similar.
Even to bring out Walder XVIII.
When Xu Shuo secretly left the Gate of Pallas before, he specially used a character card and a prop card, leaving behind a weak Pope of Light as bait.
The Knights of the Sun were not around at the time, and it would take time for the Holy See Army to reach the Gate of Pallas.
But thousands of Imperial Guards are present. Thousands of troops are fighting against the Hundred Knights. At this time, there is a complete chance of succeeding in a sneak attack on the Pope of Light.
However, until the turmoil at the Pallas Gate ended, there was no trace of Walder XVIII.
It was not until the Knights of the Sun stormed into Fort Tantino without any hindrance that the resistance from the city defense forces and the sight of the royal capital allowed Xu Shuo to confirm that Walder XVIII had probably run away last night.
There was no intention to use the coronation ceremony to ambush the Pope of Light.
Walder XVIII ran away swiftly.
So that guy's purpose.
Perhaps it was just a matter of prolonging the battle from the beginning.
"He knows that after we stabilize the situation in the Royal Capital, he will definitely go to inquire about the movements of the Imperial Army. He probably also guessed that we will find Duke Russo, and he also knows that the changes in Guangming City will not delay us for too long, so tonight
He also knows that we must fight in this battle."
After learning about the news in Fal City from the Obsidian Knights, Xu Shuo chuckled and said.
Zuo Fang had already tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword, looked at him with a heavy gaze and said, "It seems that the enemy this time is very difficult."
Almost from the beginning to the end, the other party took their actions into account, which made Zuo Fang feel a little irritated.
Since there was no trace of Walder XVIII, they were ready to attack Farr City.
As a result, the enemy had also made preparations in advance.
It may even be that you are waiting for work.
Xu Shuo pondered: "Whether it's tricky or not depends on how much information the other side has about us. If they only predict the movements of the Holy See Army, then this is not a cause for concern."
at this time.
Princess Teresa, who was standing aside, suddenly said: "During the cleaning of the royal capital, didn't we capture a few Grand Dukes of the Senate?"
Xu Shuo glanced at her: "Grand Duke Brian seems to know something, but he is already dead. The remaining people will be taken over by the priests. If they find out the information, they will come and inform them."
Zuo Fang twitched his lips when he heard this: "So why did you want to kill that person?"
"Sure." Xu Shuo tilted his head.
"Conveniently erasing a piece of information?"
"I don't think Wald XVIII would give himself a handle on the Senate when he was so fully prepared." Xu Shuo raised his hand to support his head.
"As long as you are happy."
Zuo Fang slowly exhaled and was not so presumptuous. After all, the leader of the Obsidian Knights was still present.
Xu Shuo looked at him: "The Holy See Army only has more than 100,000 troops, which is far inferior to the Imperial Army in the Royal Capital Military District. It is impossible to attack by force. They can only carry out tactical harassment of Fal City tonight. You can take this opportunity to lead
The Knights of the Sun first occupied the three city-states surrounding the royal capital."
Zuo Fang looked at him with wide eyes: "You want me to take 60 people to attack three cities?"
"Haoyue and Yaoxing are also going together." Xu Shuo turned to look at the leader of the Yaoxing Knights who was standing quietly at the door.
"Yes!" Leader Yao Xing had no objection.
"..."
Zuo Fang felt like he couldn't lift it up in one breath.
It seems like 200 people are enough?
With the royal capital as the center, there are four large city-states and several fortresses radiating out from the southeast to the northwest. Among them, the Dalton city-state near the west is the farthest.
The city of Farr is also one of them, and the Golden Laurel Legion that guards the royal family of San Vallo was commanded by the former Grand Duke of Russo.
Now that all the soldiers of the Imperial Military Region have gathered in Fal City, in a certain way, it seems to imply that Wald XVIII is most likely to be hiding in Fal City.
But Xu Shuo didn't think so.
The Holy See Army only has 100,000 soldiers. This is the maximum number of private soldiers that the Empire can allow. If it hits those hundreds of thousands of Imperial Army soldiers, it will be like a mantis trying to catch a chariot.
But since the imperial army has gathered in the city of Farr and a head-on confrontation is impossible, why not start with the surrounding city-states first?
They didn't fight them seriously, they just harassed them.
so.
The real main force should not be the Holy See Army.
But a surprise force.
Xu Shuo patted Zuo Fang on the shoulder and smiled broadly: "As our most loyal and brave chief knight, I believe you will succeed! Remember to fight quickly, after all, Guangming City still needs your support."
Zuo Fang lowered his voice speechlessly: "Then what are you going to do?"
The Holy See Army and the Knights have done everything, so what on earth is this guy going to do?
Xu Shuo smiled: "Go to Franks."
Franks city-state.
The seat of Duke Brown.
Since Wald XVIII doesn't come to arrest him.
Then he wouldn't mind going over to catch the other party himself.
There is a half chance that Wald XVIII will be in the Franks city-state, and the other half possibility is that the other party is really hiding in the city of Farr.
As for why Xu Shuo came to this conclusion?
Because he wrote the script himself.
…
Happy New Year~
…
ps: I wrote half of last night’s update, but I didn’t update it because I felt the plot wasn’t strong enough. I reorganized my thoughts and revised it today.
Every time a big plot is about to come to an end, I get really hung up on the ending. Alas.
