Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 737 Another fire, the end of the battle with St. Hytel
In the eyes of the young Marquis, O Saint Emma's position was unobstructed.

The surprise attack launched by the rogues led by him before caused a lot of commotion in Ao San Emma's position.But compared to the main position with nearly 2 people remaining, such commotion is really minimal, and it is only limited to a small area behind.

But at this moment, the continuous formation was filled with holy white flames.

This kind of flame doesn't seem to have much heat, it's as warm as the warm sun in spring, but they continue to burn and burn firmly, forming a huge fire circle——

Yes, it's a ring of fire.

It encloses most of the Ao San Emma positions inside, and burns into a wall of fire on the side closest to the coast, blocking the road leading to the coast.

Naturally, it wasn't the La Rochelle people who were still in the city of St. Hytel who were blocking the fire.

The defense is the people of Ao San Emma.

Those who have received the blessings of the pseudo-primordial, the San Emma.

Those Ulster Emma who received the blessing of the pseudo-Original God, just like the giants formed by the Ulster Emma to the south of the La Rochelle position, gradually stacked together in an attempt to become a huge giant.

But the white flames are like snakes that prey on their prey. Every time those maddened Ao San Emma people try to stack them together, these white flames will turn into long snakes, spurt out from the circle of fire, and pounce on those O'Santa Emma.

Once these seemingly lukewarm flames touched the berserk St. Emma, ​​they immediately ignited their whole body, and then climbed onto the rest of the St. Emma, ​​continuously burning them.

In such flames, the bodies of those maddened Ao San Emma were gradually burned, but the frenzy and madness on their faces gradually receded, and they closed their eyes one by one in pain and tranquility.

Cyril's gaze was fixed on the very center of the fire circle, where an old man wearing a luxurious sacrificial robe was sitting on the ground, the white flames had engulfed him in it, and the jumping flames distorted his whole body, It is almost impossible to see the human figure clearly.

But he still put his hands together in front of his chest and kept chanting.

White fire wires connected from his body to each node of the fire circle, the louder he chanted, the more intense the flames burned.

He is the source of these flames.

He is burning himself.

Priest Hilbert, the priest who followed the expeditionary force of St. Emma to the territory of La Rochelle, who inherited the name of "Ino", was an absolute high-ranking person. In this way, with this atonement Way to end your own life.

Burning, ruthless primordial fire, most devout believer, he sings aloud:
"Danya, great Danya, Danya—"

Cyril lowered his head, he felt that the necklace on his chest was getting hot, and a bright white light shone from his chest, echoing the old man in the distance.

He looked forward again, and what he saw was Hilbert's eyes slightly tilted upwards, as if he was looking at the place where the gods he was expecting might come to a miracle, and as if he was fighting with the city they failed to capture. The young people on the city wall looked at each other.

"Danya, great Danya, Danya!"

"With my body, I wash away the sins, the original fire, wash away the mortal dust—"

In this burst of voices, that old face was instantly swallowed by holy white flames.A white pillar of fire soared into the sky, and the surrounding walls of fire gradually climbed up, turning into a hemispherical cage of flames, enclosing most of the camps of the Ao San Emma people.

Then, the cage of flames suddenly fell downwards.

The magic power surged, and the smoke and dust surged in the air, forming a mushroom cloud.

The holy white flame washes the earth, the territory of La Rochelle polluted by the Orc Saint Emma.

The berserk Ao San Emma people and devout priests all disappeared in this land.

--------

Veteran Rowell O'Brien did not die here, he led the uninfected and berserk Hilaria army back to their warships.There were 5 people when they came, and there were only nearly 5000 people when they left. Naturally, they did not have the capital to attack the Adler area again.

On La Rochelle's side, there were only less than a hundred people left in the Second Legion to survive. According to their description, those Ao San Emma people who rushed up were suddenly covered with a layer of white light, and then fell into a state of madness, even if they were killed. The sword pierced through the heart, still able to attack like a mad dog.

When their position finally repelled the vanguard of the Ulster Emma people, what they faced afterwards was the first giant formed by those Ulster Emma people.

However, even so, they still did not just give up their positions.The Second Legion tried their best to intercept and kill the unassembled Ao San Emma people. They desperately defeated an unformed giant, but they were finally annihilated by the Ao San Emma people.

Yarlin Amy, the commander of the Thunder Lions of the Second Legion, and Chief of Staff Carl Raymond, who was initially a bridge between Siliki and Volgo provinces, all died in this battle. In battle.

The Thunder Lions Legion, the second legion, has already existed in name only.To return to its original scale, it will take several years to rely entirely on recruiting recruits.

The news silenced Gerald Walton, the commander of Cyril's Fifth Legion in St. Hytel, and then both of them took off their military caps and helmets, and bowed deeply towards the west where they died in battle. head.

And the battle of St. Hytel's defense came to an end in a rather "anticlimactic" and unexpected way.

Cyril has conceived countless scenarios, how St. Hytel was besieged, how they held on, and waited until the follow-up La Rochelle support troops arrived before launching a counterattack-this should have been a long process, but it turned out because of Ossan The Amarrians' own internal problems, such a sloppy end.

only……

No one could have imagined that the culprit of all this came from the highest level of the Primordial Church.

A blessing from Bishop Nicole himself.

Cyril touched the necklace on his chest, and when he thought of Photios who was going to St. Helkent, he couldn't help showing a look of pain on his face.

He knew why the Primordial Necklace awakened, and why the old man ignited a flame—all of these were inextricably linked to the priest Hilbert who had just died.

This is definitely not good news for Cyril. Others may not realize how terrifying these so-called "dark side" powers are, but Cyril has a panel on his body. Having appointed him a mission, and personally experienced the negative emotions of the sea god Urella, the god of war Isis, and the god of wind Azui, he couldn't be more familiar with these things.

Yuanchu's negative emotions are naturally impossible to be some kind of extravagant character. He should have gradually revealed itself in the later stages of the game, but at this moment, it has already begun to emerge.

Cyril was only worried that this original negative emotion had already been domineering in St. Emma's imperial capital, St. Helcoent, absorbing the power of believers presumptuously.

Maybe the whole St. Helcoent was polluted by negative emotions, even the Great Emperor Uriel was corrupted, and then the power system established by Danya also collapsed, the white ring was broken, and he had to become a new white Lord of the Rings...

Cyril shook his head vigorously, throwing all these messy thoughts out of his mind.At the end of 1441 in the game, although the crisis of La Rochelle is gradually showing signs, it is not yet such a crisis.

The timeline is messed up, but it doesn't make things that shouldn't happen at this moment happen years earlier.Combined with the experience of New Aowei Port, the Bishop Nicole obviously had premeditated this.

At this time, he thought carefully, if the bishop Nicole had long planned to try the "God's negative" plan, then what happened to Stanley Clemens, the bishop of the Harbor Temple, was obviously induced by him. completed.

Stanley Clemens, apparently exploited for his fanaticism, turned out to be a testing ground for Bishop Nickell.

But seriously, is Stanley Clemens a success story?
No, obviously he was not successful, he was at best a half-finished product.Such a case has a certain reference value, but what Bishop Nicole expects is not to call out Danya's negative emotions and destroy the world so superficially.

In other words, Bishop Nicole is obviously still in the trial period, and he should continue to experiment until everything is mature—as for you saying that he will suddenly be in a hurry, trying to get rid of Danya's negative emotions in one go? Call out directly?
Although it is possible, it is very small.Don't forget what kind of temperament Nicole is—he is a conspirator who is willing to spend 20 years to lure Stanley Clemens astray, how can he not hold back at this time?

The delay of just a few years is nothing to him.

Cyril reasoned in his heart, and couldn't help but feel more at ease.

The heavy burden on his body made him flustered at this moment, if he was asked to face the biggest boss right now, it would be no different from Banana Dao Bai Shan himself.

Think of something good, think of something good.

He said so to himself.

Of course there are good things, the most important thing is that the people of Ao San Emma were repelled, and the Adler area will no longer have any worries in a short period of time.Even if Rowell O'Brien held grudges in his heart, he was beaten by Cyril in a one-on-one battle so that he didn't know where he was, and it was impossible for him to come to revenge alone.

The Amathir army suffered heavy losses, more than half of it was lost, but at the same time, it also gained a new Transcendent:

Leonardo.

Ordinary soldiers are of course very important, and Cyril is also very sad for his sacrifice, but the existence of strategic significance such as Transcendents cannot be picked up after a period of training. Ordinary soldiers on the battlefield can compare .

It's a pity that Leonardo has already started to sleep soundly at this time, digesting the new power in his body, and it is estimated that he will not be able to wake up for ten days and a half months.

After a whole day's rest, Cyril found Azike who was dazed from sleep and gnawing on a pig's trotter in a daze.

"How long will it take for our troops to replenish?"

Azike gnawed on the pig's trotters and drank the soup, his mouth and hands were all shiny, and he replied vaguely:
"We have a certain reserve army, which is on standby as the city defense army of those small cities. It can add up to nearly 5000 people. Although the combat power cannot be compared with the troops who died in battle, it can be regarded as timely combat power."

"5000 people..."

The small city's defense personnel are not many, and they are located in the hinterland of Amasir, so there is no need for too many people to guard them.At the beginning of the war, most of them had already been recruited, and only the remaining part continued to defend the city.

Cyril kept thinking, and Atzke finally finished eating the pig's trotters and drank three more gulps of ale. Then he wiped his mouth and asked:
"Master Marquis, we have just repelled the Ao San Emma people. The cost of their trip is so high, and it is definitely impossible to attack again in the short term after being frustrated. There is no need to worry..."

"I'm not worried about the direction of Adler." Cyril interrupted him, "Did you forget that Rowell Oberian is not the top name in the list we asked earlier."

"Speaking of which, it seems that there is another name, what is it called?"

"Io Veros."

"Yes, Io Veros." Atzke patted his head, "Is he very powerful?"

"I guess it's about the same as Rowell Oberian." Cyril thought for a while, "He may not be that powerful, but he is very young."

"very young?"

"Probably around your age."

"Hiss." Atzke took a breath, and then speculated: "Is there a possibility, that is, the chief general of Ossa Emma is actually Lowell Oberian, and Io Velos is just hanging Get a name and receive a military merit?"

"It would be great if it was like this." Cyril shook his head and said, "It's a pity that Io Velos will definitely lead the troops himself."

"The main force of St. Emma attacking the Adler region is Rowell Oberian's own direct line, the Hilaria Legion, and the entourage is the western part of St. Emma, ​​those nobles who want to make some money. Troops, mighty as they may seem, are nothing to the people of Old San Emma."

"With their posture of attacking La Rochelle this time, it is absolutely impossible to mobilize only one main army and the western noble army. Under Io Velos, there are at least two main army..."

"But where will they come from?" Atzke asked, "If they don't want to touch the forest, then they can only go around Palannia, and then enter the northern border from Palania, and go around a whole big land. Circle. If it is the strength of the two main armies, how much food and material resources do they need?"

"It's not realistic."

"But what if...they don't bypass the forest?" Cyril pondered, and slowly asked the question.

"You mean, they chose to take the risk of the Black Forest and the attack of the elves in the dominant area of ​​the elves, and cross the Corridor of Nora to attack Amasir?" Arsk looked like an idiot, "If they really If you do that, then I am absolutely sure that Io Velos is not that good at all."

But from the young Marquis, he didn't get the response he wanted.

He looked at Cyril suspiciously, but found that Cyril was staring at the table, tapping his fingers.

After a while, he said slowly, word by word:
"But what if what they want is not only to target La Rochelle, but to eradicate the elves together?"

　May is over!
