The entire Fanos Alliance army retreated to the bank of the Fanshui River, all the dams were demolished, and the offensive and defensive battle with Fanggang City as the strategic target ended!
His front teeth were knocked out and he had to swallow the blood in his stomach!
There are many senior officers of the Fanos Alliance Army who can't find their graves even if they want to cry. They can't just kneel down and cry under the Vatican City.
The brutal attack and defense of Vatican City was a nightmare for the Fanos Alliance Army!
Ten days, just ten days, the morale of the Fanos Alliance Army was extremely low. Every night, at the meeting of the legion commanders to confirm the participation of the siege forces the next day, every Holy Holy See legion commander was so nervous that his hands were trembling and he listened.
When the regiments they commanded were named, their faces instantly turned deathly gray. After the meeting, most of the regiment commanders who were named did not dare to return to the camp - they were afraid that if the news was revealed, it would trigger a large-scale riot among the soldiers.
On the fourth day of the siege, more than a dozen legions of the Holy See began to desert.
At the beginning, Norton sent knight troops to search for deserters. Later, the soldiers fled and the generals ran away. The civilians saw that the posture was not right, and feared that the civilians who would be sent to participate in siege battles would sneak away in the future, so they sent out to search for the knight squad and even organized a group of deserters.
All of the team became deserters. On the most serious night, the total number of deserters was 5,982... In other words, the entire Xidijun Huayu Plain war cluster did not need Chi Aotian's expeditionary force to take action at all. It only took three months to escape without a single one left.
.
At the same time, the Desert Empire was frequently mobilizing its legions and organized two consecutive night attacks, which put great pressure on the Eastern Front Corps.
In the end, His Majesty the Pope had no choice but to agree to Fanos Double Shield's suggestion to suspend the siege.
Fanos withdrew his troops back to camp, giving Vatican City time to survive. In the past 10 days, the expeditionary force also suffered heavy casualties, even worse than that of the Bifanos Alliance Army: 7,953 regular troops died in battle, and 7,953 people were killed by the regular army.
The number of civilians who were sent to help defend the city walls exceeded the 12,000 mark because they did not have effective armor, and more than 30% of the remaining civilians lost their war capabilities.
In the last two days of the offensive and defensive battle, all the knight troops, including the Sand Lizard and the Earthly Dragon, climbed onto the city wall. The houses in the city had been demolished to the point where nothing was left. In order to prevent the enemy from using tunnels to attack the city, they followed the city wall.
Digged two
There was a large circular pit, and the soil in the pit was used to lower people down to the outside of the city wall at night. They pulled off the old armor from the dead bodies, wrapped the earth in the old armor and sent it up to the city wall to be used as a pounding stone. This is also the case of High Priest Tayang.
A bad idea.
According to Tayan: At the end of the battle, if there are really no defensive weapons, then the corpses under the city will be pulled up, the fat will be removed, ignited and thrown down to burn the city walls into a sea of flames. The person who came up with the idea was careless and indifferent, but
This shocked Elder Lola, who had just been with him for a long time... Is this guy really a priest? Why can't I see any compassion in him?
The only good news for the expeditionary force is that the Wild Eagle Swordsman Battalion has been dispatched frequently recently and captured a large number of deserters for General Fei. From the mouths of the deserters, they have a clear understanding of the current situation of the Fanos Alliance army. There is no
The method is unclear, but among the deserters caught there were two thousand-man commanders and more than a dozen centenarian commanders.
The double-digit testimony only shows one thing: there will be no more sieges for at least the next two months.
When the top officers of the expeditionary force heard the news, they all lost their composure - several people let out a sigh of relief at the same time. Except for Tayan, Tayan jumped up and expressed serious regret for the withdrawal of Fanos - using a song
In Jianhong's words, he's like a skinny donkey with a tough shit. This guy... he's been good at learning for three years, but he's been bad at learning for three. He's often with Ta Yang, and Qu Jianhong now curses people all the time.
Chang Qing, who had also been with Tayang for more than half a year, sneered at Qu Jianhong's performance. Even if he wanted to learn bad things, he couldn't learn from Tayang. Tayang's badness was too exposed. Let alone people, let's have a dog.
You can tell at a glance that Tayang is not a good person. Well... what if a dog sees His Excellency Chi Hanfeng? Chang Qing really can’t guess what the result will be. However, Chang Qing confirmed that if the same dog meets Amy
Leader... Hehe...
The Fanos army withdrew, and Vangang City was fully renovated, cleaning up rivers, burying entities, strengthening city walls, and sending out rangers everywhere to find places where they could cross the Vatican River lightly. The person in charge of these things was General Su Wen. Chi Aotian
, Tayan, Qu Jianhong and other senior officers were busy preparing to receive the arrival of the distinguished guest, the chief priest of the Zoroastrian Cult, Adam Ping.
Originally, with Chi Aotian, Qu Jianhong and especially Ta Yang having such a half-teacher and half-friend relationship with the Chief Priest, there was no need to make things so grand, but considering that now more than half of the expeditionary force is composed of "Holy Desert"
"Imperial People's Volunteer Army" (Zoroastrianism and the imperial royal family have reached a consensus on this point). If the high priest is neglected, there may be some negative impact.
That's the thing about religion. If you don't take it seriously, it's just a big deal; if you take it seriously, it's a big deal. It can be big or small, and it varies from person to person.
Damn it, there is nothing else in the world besides religion.
Of course, there are many other things happening in the busy schedule.
The identities of the skeleton soldiers have been detailed one by one - this is not only the identity of the three senior skeleton officers, but also all other skeleton soldiers and low-level officers. Chi Aotian sent two Crazy Eagle Elf Knights to the Jielin War Zone
, received the troop transfer order and military roster from the Northern Federation, and even the military flags of the three brigades sent from Hamburg City. For this matter, the ice and snow boys of the Wild Eagle Swordsman Battalion shed many tears.
In the end, the three northern federal brigades were able to resume their organizational structure - the soldiers were still the same group of soldiers, but... things are different from people, so everything should be done, and I will shed tears first.
The Skeleton Army set up camp 300 meters north of Vatican City. This was a silent order from three senior officers. They would not stay in Vangang City regardless of anyone's advice. Chi Aotian, Chang Qing, and especially the Northern Federation
Veteran Su Wen couldn't understand why. Su Wen almost knelt down in front of his captain, but... it didn't work!
Later, it was Tayang who revealed the secret: This is normal. Apart from close relatives like the small mercenary group, who else in the world can accept skeletons walking around in the city every day? Except for an extremely great priest like me.
, which pastor of the church can hug the neck of a skeleton and communicate affectionately? Don’t you know what the character of the forest elves is like? Can Zoroastrianism tolerate leaving such a mark in the history of religion?
The answer is always no.
Therefore, the Skeleton Legion will definitely not be stationed in Vatican City. In the future, if the war goes smoothly, they may be the first to leave this war. This is normal. When he said this, the old priest's eyes actually showed a dull look.
: "It comes like flowing water and passes away like the wind, drifting into the world, like water that has no choice but to flow. I don't know why I came and I don't know where I will end."
Elder Lola was also present and did not refute the statement about Zoroastrianism. He obviously acquiesced. When he heard Tayan's last words, Elder Lola shivered in shock (to put it mildly, it was like a tiger's body was shaken), grandma's,
This guy is so outrageous that he is so familiar with Manichaeism, a branch of Zoroastrianism.
As a senior elder of Zoroastrianism, Lola certainly knows that this is the most shocking sentence in the "Rubaiyat" left by the sage Omo. Manichaeism was born more than 6,000 years ago, rising rapidly like a meteor in the night sky.
A church that fell behind. The Rubaiyat had no time to be printed and distributed, and Manichaeism had declined. Currently, the only rare book is enshrined in the main altar of Zoroastrianism.
Another thing is also related to Tayan.
Su Wen, the deputy commander of the expeditionary force, Lola, the elder of the Zoroastrian Cult, Qingluo, the captain of the mad vulture elf knight of the expeditionary force, and Hussein, the prime minister of the desert empire, asked Tayang about a question at different times: "What is the purpose of the launched rocket?"
Made? Why is it so powerful?"
At the beginning, Tayan didn't care much. He smiled and said he didn't know, no matter what others asked. In the end, the two senior officers who went to ask this question were unlucky and were chased away from the tent by Tayan brandishing a sharp-nosed war hammer.
Coming out, the black-robed priest's roar resounded over the Vatican City: "I just won't tell you. I'm going to take this secret with me and climb the chimney."
Damn, if you don’t tell me, don’t tell me. What’s the point of climbing the chimney? The two senior officers didn’t even think about it.
With the lessons learned from the past, Qu Jianhong would certainly not suffer such a big loss again. When he visited Tayan, he made a sidestep: Why were the Allies selected to shoot Tayan rockets instead of the people of the Desert Empire?
Tayan pondered for a moment and finally said a human saying: "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you."
Half a year later, when Amy heard this incident and these words, she whispered two words: "It's a pity..." Daqingshan understood what Amy meant. Tayang's actions were different from what Amy did in the dwarf kingdom at that time.
The approach is exactly the same. If you say so, the notorious Archpriest Tayang is actually a soft-hearted guy?
…
On January 7, spring of the seventh year of the Magical Calendar, the current chief priest of Zoroastrianism, His Highness Adam Ping, arrived at Vatican City with ten great elders.
Chi Aotian led all the senior officers of the expeditionary force to greet them more than 20 miles away. Except for Chi Aotian, the other two dragon knights and hundreds of mad eagle knights stretched the cordon to 10 miles away.
In contrast to the fact that the expeditionary force was facing a formidable enemy, the Fanos camp did not know what was happening here, and all four dragon knights took to the air to prepare for the attack.
The grand ceremony was quite grand. In addition to more than 600 Zoroastrian clergy and two brigades of Zoroastrian corps, there were also three escort brigades sent by His Majesty the King. The total number exceeded the 20,000 mark. There were more than 40 sand warriors flying in the sky.
The lizard beast knights and nearly a hundred ordinary sand lizard knights led the sand lizards to jump up from time to time and patrol around for suspicious targets.
After the sacred fire of the main altar of Zoroastrian Cult was extinguished, it was the first time in the past three hundred years that the chief priest went on tour. Among the tours of the previous high priests, this time the scale was relatively small. His Majesty the King also brought a 15,000-person guard and a 2,000-person honor guard on the tour.
Well, the chief priest's status is not a little higher than that of the king.
If it weren't for the fact that before leaving, Tayan, the near-god, had repeatedly warned: He must arrive at Vatican City before January 15th, Spring, Year 7 of the Magical Calendar, otherwise, he would have to wait until February 2nd, after the spring, for the dragon to raise his head and collect the corpses for the expeditionary force.
Without Tayan's words, the royal family and the senior clergy of the Zoroastrian Church would not have agreed to the chief priest's light patrol in an enemy country.
No one understands why Tayang said this, but everyone knows one thing: Tayang rarely takes things so seriously. It may be useless to listen. If you don't listen... Hehe... Is there really someone who deliberately delays time and then
Are you waiting to collect the body?
His Highness the Chief Priest did not expect that just over two months after the breakup, Chi Aotian's expeditionary force would surge in strength again, with two more dragon knights of their own in the sky. If, these two dragon knights
Being able to appear in the city of Mumbai, my teacher...
"General Chi, High Priest, are these two dragon knights newly sent by your country to support your department?"
Before Chi Aotian could react, Tayang knew he was being picked on: "Yes, the two of them just arrived here three weeks ago. Hongshi successfully sealed the dragon in Messis Snow Mountain and sealed 15 dragon knights.
Therefore, two dragon knights were specially sent to Huayu Plain."
When Tayan said this, his tone was as calm as possible. Even so, the eyes of the Zoroastrian clergy and the senior officers of the Desert Empire were green. The strength of the strongest country across the continent is really incredible, and they were canonized in one breath.
15 dragon knights, add all the dragon knights in other empires together and then multiply by 2, this is roughly the number.
What was even more surprising was of course the guests waiting behind. Tayan and other guests had all finished breathing in the air-conditioning, and then slowly and softly announced the second news: "Speaking of which, we are really destined, His Highness the High Priest.
Do you know why the sacred fire of Zoroastrianism has been extinguished for a thousand years? Some time ago, why was the sacred fire ignited again?"
Ah? His Highness Tayang actually knows about this matter?
All the clergymen could only mutter to themselves stupidly. The status of the black-robed priest in Zoroastrianism has risen rapidly, and he has become equal to His Highness the High Priest.
The high priest Adam Ping was really anxious, his lips trembled, and he pinched Tayang's arm tightly.
"How about fate? His Majesty the God of Fire lived a thousand years ago..." Tayang broke away from the high priest's hand and pinched his nostrils, whetting the appetites of Zoroastrian believers for a long time before continuing in a normal tone:
"Entrusted by my father's temple, I was trapped in the lava underground in the snow-capped mountains of Messis. Last autumn, one of the two founders of the small mercenary group, God
Miss Sha Ruo, the fiancée of His Highness Da Qingshan, the Knight of the Holy Dragon, and His Highness Horns, the third deputy leader of the small mercenary group, rescued His Majesty the Fire God who was trapped underground. In order to thank Miss Sha Ruo, His Majesty the Fire God specially invited her to go there.
He entered the divine realm nine days away, and personally gave Miss Sha Ruo the ability of the only god in Huode Star Palace."
"What?!" As soon as this news came out, the Vatican City suddenly became more lively than the free market! Why can major religions gain millions of believers, and why are countless kingdoms willing to support them? Isn't it because religion has
Worshiping the gods? Isn’t it just because the religion claims to represent the gods?
Other religions may not know what gods are. Zoroastrianism, as one of the oldest religions, has had several gods in history. These gods have left a very deep mark on the history of Zoroastrianism, such as the founder of Zoroastrianism.
Zoroas was the first god-man recorded in history. It is no exaggeration to say that it was the gods who created the glorious history of Zoroastrianism. Later, the final outcome of most of the gods-men was to become gods - entering the fire
Dexing Palace.
What worries the fire priests is: strictly speaking, since the goddess of the Fire Dexing Palace has emerged, unless she is willing to establish her own business, otherwise, the current high priest will have to abdicate immediately and give up the throne of the high priest, and she will have to carefully place her seat.
Patted it clean.
"Hehe..." Tayang let out a weird laugh again: "Don't worry, Miss Sharuo's biggest wish now is to end the war, marry a husband and raise children. She will not be interested in any leader or pope.
Otherwise, the sacred fire of the Zoroastrian Main Altar might not burn.
Here we go. Let’s break it first and then build it up...right? Since it hasn’t been broken, it means His Majesty the Fire God still trusts the Zoroastrian Cult and His Highness the High Priest, so he doesn’t have to worry and make noises and disrupt his own position." When he said this, Ta
Yang's eyes passed meaningfully across all the Zoroastrian elders.
"His Royal Highness Tayan is wise."
"His Royal Highness Tayang will enjoy eternal blessings and live as long as heaven."
...The words of praise immediately made the black-robed high priest feel elated - at least that's what it seemed like.
His Highness the Chief Priest is not as thoughtful as the elders below. For a boy over 10 years old, this burden is too heavy now. If a god recognized by Huodexing Palace can take it over, the boy will not be happy.
.
"Major General Chi, His Highness Tayang, I asked the dragon knight just now, you misunderstood me. I see that the dragon mounted by one of the two dragon knights just now seems to have mutated, and the dragon of the other dragon knight seems to have changed.
The knight’s mount dragon seems to be a young golden dragon that has just entered the fourth level. Is that right?”
"You have a very good sense. Ling Yun's mount dragon has undergone very strange changes during the Dragon Sealing. It seems that... the dragon power of several different high-level sacred dragons has entered its body, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
"Tayan dealt with it casually.
The young high priest scratched the hair on the back of his head subconsciously, and realized that this gesture was not inferior. He quickly put his hand down, his face seemed to be red, and then said to Ta Yang and Chi Aotian in a lower voice:
"Actually, I want to say... if you are willing... if the dragon knight is willing, I recently found a way to use the sacred fire given to us by the Fire Temple when I checked various information in the general altar.
Improve the dragon's ability in one fell swoop, even to a higher level."
What? Chi Aotian was stunned, is there such a thing?
"But...but...it must be a gold dragon, because fire can only refine gold..." Adam Ping added in a low voice.
