It's not that hard to open a hospital in another world, right?

Chapter 888 Ostend, break the chains of the Holy See!

The Earl and Lady of Ostend stood side by side on the balcony of the command post in the center of the fortress, looking at the towering St. Lily Cathedral in the center of the city, and the radiance of the church, pointing directly to the spire of the sky.

From time to time, a burst of white light burst out from the spire, which diffused around, and the entire city of Ostend was shrouded by it.

"Do you do it?"

"Go ahead!"

"If you make a move, there's no turning back."

"We couldn't turn back." Count Ostend squeezed his wife's palm tightly, his face resolute.He looked up at the tall bell tower of the church and the spire overlooking the whole city, with hatred in his eyes:
"Since I fought desperately for them and got seriously injured, but they didn't give me proper treatment, I can't turn back;

Since I gave birth to three sons in a row, but they killed two of them, there is no turning back;

From the time I sent Andre to the Kingdom of Kent, the council cured this child, and there is no turning back;”

He took his wife's hand and walked into the room.Walking to a shadowy place where the sun cannot see, he suddenly leaned forward and hugged his wife vigorously:

"Going forward, since I fell in love with you and married you, this day is destined to come. I can't turn back, and I don't want to turn back."

The countess hugged her husband with her back, buried her head on his shoulders, and her hair brushed his cheeks lightly.After a long time, the female magician whispered:
"There are many ways in magic to control a person. If things fail, you hand me over and say that I used magic to control you..."

Before he finished speaking, his waist was tightly strangled, and he couldn't breathe.The count hugged his wife tightly, and retracted his arms, almost crushing her in his arms:
"Live, live together, die, die together!"

Two people holding hands, straight down, straight down.Arriving at the control center under the command post, the man's generous big hands and the woman's slender hands overlapped and pressed down on a mechanism:

"boom!!!"

Amidst the earth-shattering explosion, the St. Lily Cathedral in the center of the city trembled, and the spire slowly broke and fell.Then, the power of the magic circle, the power stored in the Holy Lily Cathedral for a hundred years, poured out, sweeping in all directions——

Like a hurricane blowing across the city, roof tiles were blown away, flower pots fell, and pedestrians were staggered by the wind, almost falling to the ground;
At the port, the sails were full, the masts were shaking, and some ships that had just anchored and hadn't tied the cables crashed together;
On the surface of the sea, the wind and clouds were moving, the waves were churning, and huge waves hit the side of the ship.There was the boatman who had just spilled his fishing net, was swept up by the waves, and fell directly into the sea...

In the cathedral, a white light immediately shot out, as if trying to activate some kind of protective shield.

However, this explosion did not know where it hurt. The white light rose and dissipated, rose again and dissipated again, like a broken light bulb, and finally did not light up.

Finally, as the ultimate defense and warning, a thick white smoke column rose straight from the center of the church.

It didn't take long for the smoke column to rise into the air, more than 30 miles away, and the alarm bells rang.Soon, the bells spread from one city to another, from one church to another...

Except for Ostend, the other cities of the Six Linked Cities have lit up their defenses one after another.

"Abel Ostend!"

An earth-shattering roar came from the cathedral in the center of Dix City, the one closest to Ostend in Qilian City.

The seven cities including Ostend are a thorn in the heart of the parliament.

Seven cities, seven cathedrals, and seven magic circles.With the narrowest part of Hall Strait as the center point, it extends southwest and northeast, covering a width of two hundred miles.

These seven magical arrays are connected to each other, and the attack distance exceeds ten miles. When fully activated, the scanning distance covers more than two-thirds of the narrowest part of Hall Strait.There is only a narrow side of the safe channel for the ships of the Kingdom of Kent...

This chain locked the Hall Strait, and also locked the main traffic route from the Kingdom of Kent to the mainland.Or, under the monitoring of the magic circle, be careful, pretend to be a smuggler, and once you are found out, you will be finished;
Or, take out a lot of gold coins for bribes, expect the port managers and the maritime patrol fleet to let them go, and let them go as "commercial ships carrying non-regulated goods in normal times", which greatly increases the cost;
Or, rely on your own combat power and spells, and go forward bravely—the last path is the choice of many young magicians, especially those who choose to take the fighting route, and often talk about "When will I cross the Hall Strait?" ...

Either way, either the economic cost will skyrocket, or the risk cost will skyrocket.If you don't want to go through the Hall Strait, you can either set sail directly from the southern part of the Kingdom of Brolin, or directly from the northern part of the Netherlands, or even the Kingdom of the Rhine.

The extra distance and the extra shipping risks put the merchants of the Kingdom of Kent at a huge disadvantage in the international market. ——If it wasn’t for the Magic Council’s strong efforts to develop new technologies and reduce production costs, everyone’s life would be even more difficult.

Needless to say, if a magician who escaped from the mainland wants to go to the Kingdom of Kent, or if a magician from the kingdom wants to travel to the mainland, he really has to work with his head on his waistband.

Parliament has long wanted to pull out this thorn and break this chain.Since the glorious Holy See was driven out of the Kingdom of Kent, it took more than ten years for batch after batch of magicians.

The object chosen at the beginning was the one in the center of Qilian City, which is also the one guarding the narrowest part of the Hall Strait, Kaleas.However, the city of Kaleas is the most heavily guarded, and the priest stationed in the church is also of the highest level, a level 15 archbishop.

The parliament has been watching for seven or eight years and can't find any loopholes.One by one analysis, one by one research and judgment, with great difficulty, a gap was opened in the Earl of Ostend——

The medical work that Gretel was in charge of was only a part of the instigation work.Apart from him, the council has put in a lot of painstaking efforts before and after, inside and outside.

Yet the work paid off in the end.Before the start of the war in the Netherlands, the Earl of Ostend turned to the parliament and sent his son as a hostage;
At the beginning of the war, he mobilized a large number of men under the guise of strengthening the city's defenses, and built a strong fortress against the city wall.This latest type of fortress is pentagonal in shape, surrounded by deep rivers, and inside is also a layer of city walls and a layer of fortress;
He pretended to cooperate with the request of the Royal Army, and there was no difficulty in material transfer and manpower arrangement, and he gave full support, so that Ostend became the material distribution center in the rear;

When the plague was prevalent and the Royal Army mobilized a large number of manpower, he sent the bishop of St. Lily Cathedral to the front with all his heart...

Then, in spite of everything, the army pulled out its camp and marched toward the city of the Netherlands, and when it had already walked halfway...

"boom!"

A loud noise destroyed the foundation of the magic circle of the Holy Lily Cathedral, and also made a fatal gap in the magic chain of Qilian City.

Losing one of the seven magical arrays is not as simple as losing one-seventh.The range of scanning, the range of attacking, the maximum attacking power, and even the balance of the magic array itself will all cause serious problems!

"It's started over there in Ostend."

In the Hall Strait, a small inconspicuous fishing boat opened its canopy among the Dutch "Sea Beggars" legion.

Inside the boat canopy, a magician who was dressed like a beggar, wearing a hat and a short jacket, silently raised his binoculars.Following the gap in the boat canopy, he observed the tall smoke column in the center of the city and the half-covered steeple in the middle of the smoke column:
"Our allies... have done a good job. Then, it's our turn. Send a message to the rear, and then let the ship speed up immediately. We must rush to Ostend before the arrival of the Holy See's support!"

"Ostend has made a move." The bursting white light was also observed in the star dome of Nevis, in the big magic circle.A judge who made an appointment and came to wait specially smiled:

"Let's not be idle either. Those who should be rushed over, and the supplies that should be brought over. Also, inform our allies—"

The main force of the Duke of the Netherlands, the army led by the nobles of the Netherlands, must know this good news as soon as possible!
Also, in the middle of the Brolin Kingdom, those nobles who are inseparable from the king and are desperately making troubles recently, let them know the news as soon as possible...

It's not just the Kent Kingdom family who have endured the Holy See for many years!

The remaining six of Qilian City have already been alarmed.

In the city of Dix, which is closest to Ostend, the cathedral has gathered the Paladins, readying their troops.Ready to go out, and always be on guard against Ostend's attack;
The leaders of the remaining five churches quickly gathered in the center of the Seven Linked City, the Cathedral of Consolation in Kaleas City.Look left, look right, there are only three archbishops in the five churches:

One is level 15, one is level 11, and one is level 10.In order to wipe out the Netherlands, Qilian City took away three archbishops, including the one from Dix ​​City, leaving only four.

As for the housekeeper bishop, he lacks prestige and strength.It is enough to defend the home, but want to attack?

"Notify the Holy See immediately!" The archbishop of Kaleas City was the highest and the leader of the crowd.In an emergency, he has the power to command all seven churches and fully activate the magic circle.At this moment, he slapped the table with a sonorous tone:

"Then, let's gather our strength and send troops immediately! Before that traitor escapes, we must catch him back!"

"I think we should talk to some city lords and borrow some soldiers and horses." The archbishop of the Sea Cliff Cathedral in the city of Coulogne smiled half a smile, and his gold-rimmed white robe fluttered slightly:

"Half of the Holy Knight Order was borrowed, and half of the bishops and priests in the city were also taken away. If people are drawn again, if there is any conspiracy on the other side, I am afraid that my small town will not be able to keep it."

"Or wait for the Royal Army to come back?" The archbishop of Ban Ketan City is the lowest, but the oldest, and he is here to mix his seniority.He made a trembling comment:
"It should be easier to fight at both ends..."
