I came to this world to enlighten the gods

Chapter 586 The Royal Mage Corps

June 13, 6 in the natural calendar, Spring City
In the Cathedral of the Lord of Nature, Cardinal Connie led the paladins to patrol the city walls and return to the church.

It is very strange to say that in the three southern counties, the church also has the responsibility of guarding the city, and it is impossible to transcend the royal power.

Of course, this is also a tacit understanding between the church and the kingdom, which is impossible in other kingdoms, and the competition between royal power and religious power has always been the fiercest.

As soon as she entered the church, Connie was attracted by the murals on both sides, because there were some new stories on them.

First, a giant wolf blocked the king's way forward, and then the king prayed to the gods, and the gods manifested themselves and captured the giant wolf and imprisoned it in the kingdom of God, turning it into a sculpture.

"Thank you, my lord, you are a star in the sky, any provocation will be hit"

Connie prayed with her hands down, praising the greatness of God, and at the same time received the latest oracle from God in her mind.

Immediately, his face changed drastically, and he ordered: "Call all the official priests and paladins immediately, and there is an important oracle to convey."

Hearing that there was an oracle, the knights behind him did not dare to neglect, and scattered out to inform.

"I didn't expect the jihad to come so soon. Didn't they say that they would be besieged for ten years and wait for the opponent to collapse?"

Connie muttered to herself, feeling that the situation was serious, and something new must have happened.

The church is in action, and the palace is not slow to act. The king personally signs the order.

The knights and soldiers of 3 manors in 27 towns and 69 counties in the south were required to gather, especially the four major knight orders of the kingdom and the eight holy knight orders of the church gathered in spring city, summer city and autumn city.

Through the Church of the Three Counties, Li Qing conveyed the royal order, appointing Earl Berkeley as the commander of the South Army, and Earl Andre as the commander of the West Army.

Li Qing personally led the Southern Forest Knights, the Royal Knights, and the Holy Knights of the Bishop of Nature to approach the cabin in the forest.

July 13th, 7th year of the natural calendar.

The three-way army of the Ming Kingdom besieged the hut in the forest. After the initial confrontation between the two sides, the hut in the forest retreated to the city, relying on the defense line of thorns.

The three armies gathered, and Li Qing led Earl Andre and Earl Berkeley to circle the hut in the forest to observe the defense situation inside.

The outskirts of the city are covered with thorns, and ordinary soldiers can't cross it at all. A strong attack will only scratch the soldiers by the thorns, and the gain outweighs the loss.

Druids, priests and other legal professions can be vaguely seen behind the thorns. Natural spells cooperate with the thorns defense line, and it is difficult to break through the day.

"The next battle has little to do with ordinary soldiers. Our main opponent is the priest of the Church of the Gods of Nature and the legend on the opposite side."

Li Qing solemnly said that it has been nearly a thousand years since the five highnesses of the natural pantheon awakened, and there are no fewer legends recruited and cultivated, and any legendary spell would make them unbearable.

This is also the reason why he only besieged but did not actually occupy the last stronghold, because he was afraid that the opponent would jump over the wall in a hurry.

"The current situation is very clear. Ordinary soldiers can only serve as peripheral defenses and borders. The real war still relies on the power of knights, professionals, and churches."

Li Qing finally ordered that the hut in the forest covers an area of ​​[-] to [-] miles, and it is divided into five major parishes. Among them, the church of Her Highness Melika, the queen of the forest, is located in the center, and the other four churches are divided into four quarters.

After the arrangements were made, Count Andre and Count Berkeley bid farewell respectively. The attack time and strategy had been formulated, and the real bloody battle was about to begin next.

"Your Majesty, I think the two earls are in a bad mood, will it affect the situation of the war?" Viscount Kerry whispered on the way back to the barracks.

Li Qing sighed and said: "The two sides are trying their best to develop their territory, and the war will affect them the most. It's no wonder they are in a good mood."

Canonized to a wild land, the construction of the territory has just started to improve, and then it is called to fight. Anyone will be unhappy.

But so what!

The kingdom is powerful enough to suppress all nobles, and it is impossible for the nobles and the royal family to bargain in other kingdoms.

While walking, Li Qing suddenly thought of something, and asked casually, "I heard that Earl Berkeley has converted to the tree spirit god Lori"?
Kerry nodded, and said with a gloomy face: "Not only that, I heard that he is still supporting the Church of the God of Death and the Church of the Messenger of the Four Seasons. The strength of the Church of My Lord in Xiacheng County has been reduced to a minimum."

Having said this, his face turned cold, and he suggested, "Are we...".

"Not necessary"

Li Qing waved his hands and said with a half-smile: "No matter which church Xiacheng County supports, it's all benefited by His Royal Highness of the Heavenly Court! My Lord is not a dictator. It's a good thing that the Earl of Berkeley found out that His Highness believes in you."

Viscount Kerry wanted to continue persuading him, but was blocked by Li Qing, so he could only return to the barracks full of doubts.

At 6 a.m. the next day, the three major knights, Nanlin Knights, Royal Knights, and Holy Knights, assembled early.

The king has appointed Knight Kerry as the commander-in-chief. At this moment, he has assembled the three major knight orders, waiting for His Majesty the King to inspect and then launch an attack.

It was not until 8 o'clock that the figure of His Majesty the King appeared in the distance, and Knight Kerry rushed to greet him.

But he was surprised to find that His Majesty the King was accompanied by more than 100 people, all wearing mage and druid robes.

Immediately, his heart moved, he thought of a possibility, and greeted him with some excitement.

He knelt down on one knee and reported: "The three major knight groups have been summoned and are ready to march at any time."

"Okay, start now"

Li Qing led more than 100 mages into the prepared carriage. Along the way, all the knights focused on these mages who suddenly appeared.

From the uniform badges on them, it can be seen that these people are the mage team belonging to the royal family.

The Royal Mage Group, this name has not appeared in the foggy world for a long time, but this mage group is somewhat nondescript.

There are not many mages, more druids, and some priests mixed in.

This is the result of Li Qing's deliberate matching. In addition to saturated attack, there must be defense and healing, and it is the best choice to match with a priest.

The army soon came to the outside of the thorn defense line, facing the Northland Ranger Guardian God Guilun·Storm Church, mainly rangers and priests.

It is the strongest force other than the Church of the Forest Queen Melika, and it is used to resist the strongest royal army.

"Royal Mages, the first round of saturation attack begins"

Li Qingce immediately went forward and personally commanded the group of mages to attack. Hundreds of mages and druids had practiced for a long time.

Immediately began to chant the incantation, almost at the same time raised the staff in his hand and pointed forward.

Hundreds of fireballs quickly landed on the thorn defense line, like hundreds of shells, quickly igniting the thorn.

The rangers and priests in the line of defense hurriedly began to fight the fire, and the second round of fireballs fell again on the other side, and this time casualties began.

After ten rounds of fireball saturation attacks in a row, the thorn defense line finally showed signs of collapse.

"Fireball is only a second-level spell, but once it uses a saturated attack, its power will increase by at least ten times."

Li Qing sneered, this is just the beginning, and soon they will see the true power of the mage group.
