I Am the Minecraft Master, Not the God of Light!

Chapter 95 95. 2,500 vs. 300,000, the advantage is mine!

“Yes!”

Dolores responded solemnly, and immediately began outlining on the map of the Principality of Bilka hanging on the wall behind him.

“According to the reports from the Night Watchers, the Principality of Bilka is dispatching troops this time under the guise of suppressing a rebellion.”

“The heretic leading the army is the Third Prince of the Principality of Bilka, Leo Bilka, who, by order of the Bilka King, commands 1,000 Royal Heavy Cavalry and 30,000 Royal Guards.”

“However, Commander Markov, according to the information we have, this heretic Leo is not very honest.”

Markov asked curiously:

“How so?”

Dolores drew a rather tortuous line on the map, finally converging on Ginkgo City.

“According to the Night Watchers’ reports, this is Leo’s marching route. Starting from the capital, he first went southwest to Songlan City, then east to Tuhua City.”

“After that, he went south to Buliansnuo Port. Each time he went deeper, he brought out a large number of troops. This Leo went around a dozen cities on the longest route.”

“It is estimated that when he arrives at Ginkgo City in a day, he will have gathered nearly 300,000 troops. We speculate that the Bilka King most likely gave him the authority to mobilize troops along the way.”

“But obviously, this guy is very ambitious and did not come straight to Ginkgo City as required by the Bilka King.”

After pondering for a moment, Wulie Er looked at Markov and said in a low voice:

“Songlan City, Tuhua City, Buliansnuo Port, and other cities, according to the reports from the clergy of our Dawn Church who have infiltrated them to preach, all seem to be neutral cities.”

“Especially Buliansnuo Port, which has always been the core port contested by Leo and the other two princes.”

Markov certainly appeared to be careless and seemed to have no brains, but that was only when he was around Ian and the others.

After all, he was the heir carefully cultivated by Leyar. No matter how mindless he was, he still understood what he needed to understand.

After taking a look at Leo’s advance route, Markov sneered.

“This guy is quite arrogant… Taking advantage of this opportunity, he is openly transferring troops from neutral cities to help him in the battle for succession.”

“Looks like he really thinks of our Dawn Church as a pushover?”

“300,000 troops? Even if it’s 500,000, without the unwavering faith of our Silver Armor Pillars, they are just a rabble!”

Wulie Er and the others also nodded and echoed with a smile.

In any case, in this battle of 2,500 Silver Armor Pillars against 300,000 troops, the advantage is mine!

“His Holiness the Pope requires us to wait for the other side to strike first.”

Harlan reminded Markov, as he was very worried that Markov, with his reckless nature, might directly lead the army to attack.

Fortunately, Markov listened to Ian’s words.

“I understand.”

With that, Markov beckoned to a monk beside him:

“Order the army to rest in Treecrown City and wait for the other side to call for battle. After the battle begins, if the other side collapses and flees, do not be eager to annihilate them.”

“His Holiness the Pope said that in this battle, we must cast a long line to catch a big fish!”

“Yes!”

Before long, the knights who had been marching rapidly to Treecrown City directly moved into the Treecrown City military base to rest.

Quietly waiting for the movements of the Principality of Bilka army on the Ginkgo City side.

… …

This wait lasted three days.

After all, Leo was a prince involved in the struggle for the crown, and he was definitely not a brainless idiot.

This was also understandable.

First, he was not the First Prince, who had the priority of inheritance, and second, he was not the Second Prince, who had the support of half of the nobles in the Bilka Principality Council.

Leo’s ability to participate in the Bilka Principality’s crown prince competition clearly meant that he was not an easily impulsive fool.

He may not be astonishingly intelligent, but he was certainly ruthless enough to design the death of his own birth mother at the age of fifteen, and to win the pity of the old king with his loneliness and well-behaved demeanor.

300,000 troops traveled a long distance to arrive at Ginkgo City. If Leo chose to start a war at this time, he would not be qualified to compete with the other two princes.

First, he needed to rest and find out information about Treecrown City.

According to the currently known information, the Dawn Church only had less than a thousand heavy cavalry, and the most troublesome thing was their cooperation with the Winged Clan.

But Leo was not a person who easily believed in information on paper.

Of course, this reason was not the most important.

Even if he adhered to the principle of “a lion uses all its strength to catch a rabbit,” Leo still looked down on the Dawn Church from the bottom of his heart.

For this trip, he brought all his savings, not to mention that the old king gave him a thousand heavy cavalry and 30,000 Royal Guards.

In his opinion, this force was enough to suppress the rebellion.

Leo’s real purpose lay in the army.

Did he go to so much trouble to travel to various cities of the Principality of Bilka and mobilize so many troops just to deal with the Dawn Church?

If he really wanted to be the old king’s obedient son, he might as well find a rope and hang himself sooner rather than later.

It was easy to understand what Leo wanted to do with just a little thought.

The old king had not yet made a decision on the crown prince, but looking at his situation, it was normal for him to die inexplicably one day.

Although Leo was able to participate in the crown prince competition, he was really at a disadvantage, and not many nobles in the capital were optimistic about him.

Once the old king died, it would be difficult for him to survive, let alone inherit the throne, if he stayed in the capital.

Leo didn’t want to die, nor did he want to lose the throne.

Therefore… …

Seizing the throne was much easier than inheriting it.

Taking advantage of the current situation with the Dawn Church, coupled with the fact that it also involved the Cleveland and Lyman families under his command.

Logically and emotionally, he should take responsibility for this matter.

Taking advantage of the situation to mobilize troops and raise the banner of suppressing the rebellion to lead the army on an expedition.

As for what happens after the fight… …

What happens after the fight?

The soldiers were borrowed by his own ability, so why should he return them?

Besides, even if those soldiers went back, they would not listen to others.

“Your Highness the Third Prince.”

Inside the Ginkgo City Lord’s Mansion, a magician wearing a hood floated in like a ghost, his feet not touching the ground, silent and invisible.

But Leo was already used to it, standing in front of the map with his hands behind his back, without even turning his head, he said:

“How is it?”

“Heh heh heh… …”

The magician chuckled in a low voice, but the laughter was as unpleasant as an old bellows.

“Everything is going smoothly.”

After a pause, the magician added:

“All the senior officers have already replaced their hearts with those of mind flayers. Now, they are only controlled by you.”

With that, the magician handed over a square, jet-black slate.

The newest and most complete novels are first published here!

“Very good.”

Flames of excitement burned in Leo’s eyes, but he still maintained the elegant demeanor of a royal.

This Third Prince had also carved the performance into his bones through years of disguise.

“Congratulations, Your Highness the Third Prince… … No, congratulations, my King.”

The magician smiled coldly.

“Once Blackwater City is pacified, it’s time for you to ascend the throne.”

This sentence instantly made Leo’s flame of ambition burn even more fiercely.

Looking west, after a long time, Leo murmured to himself.

“Father, please wait a little longer, I will soon be able to let the eldest brother and the second brother fulfill their filial piety to you… …”

Putting away the slate, he raised his hand and pointed to the location of Treecrown City on the map.

Leo said coldly:

“How is the investigation going?”

“… … Not very smoothly.”

Speaking of this matter, the magician was not as relaxed and casual as before.

“Treecrown City has completely changed. That city seems to have fallen into fanatical faith.”

“In the past two days, all our actions to infiltrate and investigate Treecrown City have failed, and we have even lost several knights.”

Leo nodded thoughtfully.

“In that case, this so-called Dawn Church still has some ability… … It doesn’t matter.”

Leo put on his cloak and strode out.

“In the face of absolute strength, any church is vulnerable. 300,000 troops are approaching the city!”

“I don’t believe that Blackwater City plus Treecrown City only have about 20,000 people. Could it be that they can turn the world upside down?”

“Order the entire army! Suppress the rebellion!”

… …

Inside the Treecrown City military base.

The wind and waves that tore through the air came first, followed by the sound of the air being pierced.

“Commander Markov, the 300,000 troops from Ginkgo City have moved! The target is our Treecrown City, and they will arrive in about three hours.”

Clearly about to be besieged by 300,000 troops, but the Winged Clan messenger was particularly excited, even looking at Markov expectantly, wishing he could go to battle immediately.

Markov put down the map in his hand, exchanged glances with Wulie Er and the others, and they all laughed.

“They’re finally here. This Leo is quite cautious. If it had been a few days later, I would have almost couldn’t help but provoke them.”

Hearing the contempt in Markov’s words, Wulie Er shook his head and reminded him:

“After all, he is a prince involved in the struggle for the crown. If he really had no brains, he would have died in the capital long ago. Commander Markov, we can’t be careless either.”

“I know.”

Markov stretched lazily, got up and looked around at the Dawn Knights who were eager to fight, and said loudly:

“Knights of the Dawn, now, those damned heretics are going to commit the crime of defying the Dawn! Attacking the territory bestowed upon us by the Dawn!”

“It’s time to repay the Dawn with everything we have!”

“Raise the flag! Go out of the city to meet the enemy!”

Treecrown City, which had been silent for three days, finally began to shake.

Dawn Knights straddling warhorses were on the ground, rushing out of the city without hesitation.

In the sky, the Winged Clan, holding longbows shimmering with purple magic, flapped their wings to follow.

A full 2,500 people forcibly created the domineering aura of a million-strong army charging into battle.

This scene was still fresh in the memory of Treecrown City. Not long ago, it had just experienced the charge of iron hooves.

But they would not forget that the charge of the Dawn Iron Cavalry brought hope and a better new life.

Therefore, compared to the panic at the beginning, the citizens of Treecrown City now simply stood on both sides of the road to cheer for the knights.

This was a holy war that the Dawn people yearned for, a war for the countless people who, like them in the past, lived in dire straits.

Dolores stood on the wall of Treecrown City, watching the last Dawn Knight rush out of Treecrown City.

He turned around and looked down at the dense crowd of believers below. After a moment, he piously raised the "Oracle Scripture" in his hand, placing it under the cleanest sunlight.

“The Lord will judge those who are rebellious, because they have forsaken the truth; the Lord will judge those who have forsaken, because they have done unrighteous deeds; the Lord will judge those who are unrighteous, because they have become lowly demons!”

“The Lord’s judgment is just and righteous! This is the gospel of the world!”

“Children of the Dawn, gaze at this moment, remember this moment, the selfless Lord will embrace more of our compatriots!”

“This is a great and merciful liberation!”

“If the heretics are not exterminated, the holy war will not end!”

“Dawn endures!”
