When the Saint comes, she does not collect food

Chapter 919: Forward, Forward! Raise our flag! (VII)
Looking at the slowly retreating Holy Alliance, Lavl felt mixed emotions.

In his opinion, the Blood Knight and the Clockwork Cannon are the same thing, using the power of the devil to fight the devil.

But if this is true, doesn’t it mean that the Holy Father is powerless and that his people must use the power of the devil to fight the devil?
"Thousand River Valley is truly the source of all evil."

King Gigi, who was at the front line in person, looked pale and seemed to be dizzy due to the strong smell of blood.

Hearing Lavr's words, Jinigis turned his head and said, "In the final analysis, it is the church that is to blame. If they hadn't exploited them too much, even if the Blue Blood Monastery was discovered, they could have thrown in a few people as scapegoats and gotten away with it.

When looking at the problem, we must look at the essence. The essence is that the church is too brutal here. This is the root cause. "

"You mean the church is the root of all evil?" Laffer frowned.

Jinigis laughed and said, "Human beings are the source of all evil, otherwise why would the Holy Father ask people to atone for their sins?

The church itself is not wrong, the ones who are wrong are the people who are blinded by greed, so from now on, priests in Leia’s church must take exams and be reviewed before taking office!
Not only should we reduce the number of priests nominated, but we should also strictly investigate the corruption and abuse of power by priests. It would be best if a permanent institution is set up.”

Laffer nodded, but was suddenly stunned. Isn't this the management method of the Thousand River Valley Church?

Isn’t this how the Thousand River Valley controls priests and officials?
As if he didn't notice Lavel's strange look, Jinigis asked, "Let's not talk about this. Have you tested the clockwork gun?"

"After testing, the light clockwork gun will get stuck in the flesh, the heavy clockwork gun will get stuck in the bone plates of the ribs, the large musket that I have never seen before will probably cause serious injuries, and the clockwork cannon may kill me."

When he said this, Laffer felt extremely uncomfortable.

He is the great knight, the pinnacle of knighthood.

I was actually defeated by a dead object, and it was defeated in the simplest and most brutal way.

Fortunately, he can also wear white crystal steel armor, so he can ignore ordinary clockwork guns unless they are facing head-on clockwork cannons.

The damage caused by the most powerful Cannidi was just stuck on the bone plate of his lung.

After becoming a Grand Knight, the Knight's body will undergo a series of mutations, just like a Witcher.

Bony plates develop between the ribs, and a second parallel bone grows in the arm to support more muscle.

At the same time, they will lose all sexual desire and their IQ will continue to decline. They need a bishop ordained by the church to bless them to prevent their intelligence from declining.

"Since the Holy Alliance can't deal with these clockwork cannons, you just need to continue to wear them down. When the morale of the army is almost there, you can lead the Blood Knights to charge."

In the military system of the Kingdom of Leia, the crucial assault by the Super Knights to conclude the battle is an almost indispensable part.

Otherwise, how dare Leia call itself the Kingdom of Knights?
Jinigis knew that in all the battles of the Holy League, the knights' final charge always resulted in the heaviest casualties.

Let the Blood Knight take over this task.

Jinigis has always felt conflicted: the Edict Company is pious but not loyal enough, while the Blood Knights are loyal but not pious enough.

Therefore, it is best to maintain a balance of power between the two sides, which is the way to check and balance.

He turned his head, but found that Lavr seemed not to have heard it, and his eyes were all fixed on the sky.

It wasn't until black shadows on the ground passed over his face one after another that Jinigis realized something.

He turned his head suddenly and looked at the "giant eagles" in the sky, his pupils suddenly dilated: "Alaric, Alaric."

"Your Highness?"

"Support Gray Robe Hill immediately... Go!"

…………

Standing next to the clockwork cannon, Beep Beb Anders prayed.

He was begging for forgiveness from the Holy Father and the angels. He fired at his family and compatriots, but it was for justice, not betrayal.

There are too many things in this world that are hard to give up, and he doesn't want to die yet.

As for the dead child, that was not his child, so why bother?

Originally, all Horn needed to do was to lay down the papal crown to usher in peace, but he was blinded by greed and refused to do so.

So Holy Father, all this is Horn Garrar's fault, please let us ordinary believers go.

The sunlight shining on my face suddenly turned cool.

The sky is overcast? Bipubebu slowly opened his eyes, but his whole body was frozen.

Dozens or even a hundred men in leather armor were flying in the sky, their outstretched wings blocking the sunlight like dark clouds.

Shadows flew across his face, and Bipubebu stared in a daze.

Is that an angel? An angel with black wings, the Father coming to punish Horn?

Before he could think clearly, the black-winged angels swooped down.

"bass--"

By the time he came to his senses, all he could do was cover the bloody hole in his throat and slowly fall to his knees.

"Enemy attack——"

At the sound of the warning horn, Sergeant Otto of the Shadow Crow Corps descended from the sky and swam past the two knights who were surrounding him like a water snake.

In the moment of passing through, the two knights covered their throats, unable to stop the spurting blood.

They were holding fine rapiers made by the dwarf master craftsmen themselves.

Unlike ordinary rapiers, this rapier is hollow, like a cone used to pierce rice.

Just as Otto was about to charge towards the artillery position, he felt the sunlight dim and a sound of breaking air rang behind his ears.

He stomped his foot sideways, and a stream of air exploded between the sole of his foot and the ground, and the whole person suddenly moved horizontally half a meter.

The giant sword smashed down, mud splashed, and Otto turned quickly.

A tall knight in imperial gold-plated clothing was staring at him through the slits in his mask.

"Accept the punishment, devil!"

Raising the sword high like a roof, Otto slashed vertically again. He lunged forward, stepped on the air and moved horizontally, dodging the sword again.

Only this time, he was facing the Knight of the Imperial Order.

The tip of the rapier shone with a cold light, made a whistling sound like a whistle, and pierced the knight's forearm.

Unfortunately, the sword didn't penetrate deep enough and was caught by the muscles of the Knight of the Order. Otto didn't continue to stab, but just twisted the sword and pulled it back like a dragonfly skimming the water.

He then jumped up and landed on the cannon from a height of four or five meters.

The rapiers trembled, and blood gurgled out of the foreheads, throats and hearts of the three surrounding artillerymen.

Not only Otto, the other nearly one hundred Shadow Crow soldiers who dropped from the sky were also frantically assassinating the artillerymen and orderlies.

"Witch, follower of the devil!"

The knight was furious and immediately drew his sword and started chasing after him, but after only taking two steps he felt something was wrong.

My vision was blurry at first, and I could hear the sound of my heavy heartbeat in my ears.

He shook his head, and the heartbeat stopped, but was followed by a sharp tinnitus and a slight fever on his face.

Poisoned? That shouldn't be the case, he has the magical power of [Immune to All Poisons] blessed by the monks!
After running a few steps, the knight fell to his knees on the ground, curled up, and his face turned red and purple.

Otto naturally did not use poison. He simply let a large amount of air into the knight's blood vessels when the hollow rapier pierced into his body.

The witch who drew water by draining the air from the well mentioned by Pasrick was the Snow White Witch, the ancestor of the Shadow Crow Soldiers.

However, this witch has passed away, and the wind magic that the Shadow Crow soldiers know can only make them jump very high.

When they were in Black Snake Bay, they were a fringe secret party, and it was Grizz who discovered their potential and reported it to the Holy See.

Then, Seromis formed the Second Regiment of Black Snake Bay, and gradually perfected the Shadow Crow tactics in subsequent wars, which led to the name of the Shadow Crow Army.

"Stop them, stop them, call the monks over!"

The Shadow Crow sergeants were holding their weapons and slaughtering the artillerymen frantically, destroying the gears and bolts.

The Shadow Crow soldiers wanted to wash away the shame of losing their position before the battle, and they had been holding back their anger for a long time.

In less than a quarter of an hour, most of those elite and skilled artillerymen and service soldiers were killed.

At this time, the monks finally arrived at the scene.

But they were sweating profusely as they flipped through the Book of Hours and the Gospels, and before they had time to read, they saw several clock bullets flying towards them.

“Click, click…click!”

A silent shock wave exploded, and several monks fell to the ground immediately.

Taking advantage of the gap, Otto came to the monks with a swish sound, as if he was wearing roller skates.

He tilted his head, twisted his body, jumped, and squatted. The cold light from the tip of the sword drew a long bloody stripe across his neck.

In the end, the sergeant major jumped out of the monks' formation with a height of three meters, leaving behind the bodies of seven or eight monks.

As expected, the casualties of seven or eight people caused all the nearly fifty monks present to collapse.

He dropped the scripture, screamed, and rushed down the mountain, even bumping into the knights who were rushing up the mountain.

Otto was coughing and his muscles were twitching. It was obvious that the killing just now was very difficult for him.

He looked at the artillery position on the platform. Most of the artillerymen had been killed or fled, and the clockwork warehouse had been thrown off the top of the hill.

Otto blew the whistle in his mouth: "(Encrypted call) Position No. 3 is done!"

"(Encrypted call) Position number one is done!"

"(Encrypted call) The Sergeant Major is dead, the Sergeant Major is dead!"

"(Encrypted call) Who said I was dead?!"

After making sure that several artillery positions had been cleared, Otto called out, "The enemy is coming up, let's go!"

The Shadow Crow soldiers quickly gathered together. The four or five people in the front row ran and pushed off the ground together. The air currents swept in all directions, blowing up the grass leaves.

One after another, triangular black-winged shadows rose from the ground and leaped into the sky.

Just like an eagle spreading its wings, the Shadow Crow soldiers also spread their glider wings covered with mithril skeleton spider silk parasols in the air.

They can only jump very high, but they cannot stay in the air.

Similar to Novia, they have similar issues with lateral flight.

So under the design of Novia and Leonardo, this small gliding-wing aircraft was developed.

It would certainly be difficult for a normal person to use it, but if these Shadow Crow soldiers used it, it could be used barely.

You just can't be too fat and can't carry anything too heavy.

When Alaric and his infantry knights arrived breathlessly, all he could see was a mess on the ground.

The clockwork warehouse was thrown down the Gray Robe Hill, the artillerymen were either killed or injured, and some even escaped or went missing.

The screws and sights of most clockwork cannons were hammered crooked, and only a few were left intact.

After all, Gray Robe Hill is gentle in the south and steep in the north, and they would never have thought that anyone could attack this gun position.

If Alaric were the Holy Alliance, he would never let go of this artillery position.

But now it seems that this is another trap!
The collusion between the Holy Alliance and the Black Snake Bay is too deep. They even created flying devil soldiers who dared to usurp the power of angels!

In the azure blue sky, there were only the backs of a group of gliding Shadow Crow soldiers.

They formed a ┟ shape, then a ║ shape, and disappeared from Alaric's sight.

A feeling of depression rose from Alaric's chest and abdomen, and he rushed forward in helplessness and rage, and came to the edge of the cliff at the top of the hill.

"Come back, come back, come back!"

Pulling the longbow, he shot several arrows at the backs of the Shadow Crow soldiers. Alaric's voice was a little broken:

"Come and fight me, if you dare! Duel! Damn you, you despicable people from Qianhe Valley! You will go to hell sooner or later!"

His chest rose and fell violently for a while, and Alaric opened his lower lip that was bitten blue by himself: "Go and report to His Highness, the Grey Robe Hill Battery has been destroyed, the artillery has fled, and only one clockwork cannon remains.

Please send someone to repair or replace the mainsprings as soon as possible, all the mainsprings have been thrown off the top of the hill."
