Although the archers were a little inferior, they had the advantage of being numerous, with as many as 20,000 of them. With thousands of arrows fired at the same time, the number of the imperial guards was reduced little by little.

Ash immediately pulled the imperial guards back.

As soon as the Imperial Guards retreated, the army of Paladins immediately pressed forward, trying to hold them back.

At the same time, the Punishment Knight also came to kill.

Although the Crooked Horse has strong mobility and the kite tactics have achieved a lot of results, the damage caused by long-range attacks to the Punishment Knight with famous general skills is very limited.

“Trouble!”

Seeing this scene, Irelia’s heart trembled.

The Imperial Guards are Ash’s trump card. Once they are worn down, there is basically no chance of success.

At this moment, a large number of people rushed out from the south side of the battlefield.

【恐虐主教‘骑士’率领八万恐虐教众袭击圣庭。】

The eighty thousand Khorne followers were the ones left after the previous battle with the coalition of ten nations.

Irelia raised her eyebrows slightly. She admitted that there were a lot of Khorne followers, but they only had quantity but no quality. Those who could fight back and forth with the coalition of ten nations would basically be courting death if they faced the Holy See.

After all, the absolute gap between the two armies cannot be made up by fighting will alone.

However, Ash’s original plan was to let the Khorne followers fight to their deaths.

The Adeptus Custodes must not die, nor can the Holy Army, so only the followers of Khorne can die.

Anyway, these guys were recruited for free. At most, we spent some money on weapons and equipment, and food expenses. If they die, we can just recruit more.

At this time, the 80,000-strong Khorne army, facing the powerful Holy See army, still bravely and fearlessly launched a charge.

[‘For Khorne!’]

[‘Kill all these Holy Court beasts! ‘]

[‘Kill, kill, kill, kill!’]

These 80,000 people directly dispersed the effect of Crimea’s mourning, and then turned into cannon fodder for the Imperial Guard’s attack. At the same time, Ash dispatched all the remaining Holy Legions in the rear.

[In May 1788, the Holy Legion fought with the Holy Court Army at the Cottam Line. The two armies fought for half a day, and Ryan led his troops to retreat.]

A brutal fight!

Of the 80,000 followers of Khorne, only more than 10,000 were left dead, and the Holy Legion suffered more than 20,000 casualties, leaving only 15,000 people.

There were only two thousand imperial guards left.

Casualties on the Holy See side: 10,000 Punishment Knights, 13,000 Paladins, 15,000 Archers, 1,000 Mages, and 20,000 Sword and Shield Infantry.

“How miserable.”

Irelia looked at the battlefield without any joy of victory.

The strength of the Holy Court is far stronger than others expected. It can be said that if it weren’t for Ash’s Holy Legion, the Purple Spirit Kingdom would have perished long ago.

But after this wave of fighting, the Holy Legion had little combat power, but fortunately there were still two thousand Imperial Guards, which left a glimmer of hope for a comeback.

Now it all depends on what the Holy Court will do next.

More than half of the 100,000-man army was killed, and combined with the previous casualties, it was a huge blow to the Holy See.

At this moment, a message popped up – Four

[Ash proposes to move the royal city to Harvey City. Do you agree?]

Irelia was stunned.

Move the royal city?

At this time, on the simulation interface, Ash, who was watching the game, said: “The Purple Spirit Kingdom is now surrounded by enemies. To the west, there is a coalition of ten countries with resolute intentions. To the east, there are hundreds of thousands of troops from various countries eyeing us covetously. Add to that the threat from the Holy Court. The royal city is in danger. It is better to move the capital to Harvey City, station troops to defend it, and then plan for a great cause.”

Irelia frowned slightly.

Moving the royal city was something that was difficult for her as a king to accept.

Even on the continent of Rhea, there has almost never been a case of moving the royal city, because the nobles would sometimes value honor more than their lives… Of course, Ash didn’t want to understand this kind of thinking, he only knew that if he continued to fight like this, once the royal city was destroyed and Irelia died, this simulation would be over.

Death means everything is gone.

There is hope only if you are alive.

Irelia looked towards the eastern front. Due to the huge casualties of the Holy Army, hundreds of thousands of people in the Eastern Region had begun to take action and had occupied many cities in succession. The nearest army was even about to reach the royal city.

On the western front, the defeated coalition of ten nations was resting at the border, and each country was mobilizing troops and obviously had no intention of giving up.

Under such circumstances, if we continue to defend the royal city, we will only end up dead.

The defense of Harvey City is strong, and it forms a pincer attack with Cassi City and Leica City. With the support of the elf territory, it can attack or defend. Relocating the royal city can be said to have only benefits and no disadvantages.

“Ash, you are still fighting for me.”

Irelia couldn’t help but sigh.

Up to now, it can be said that Ash is fighting alone with the Purple Spirit Kingdom on his back. How many people in the world can do this?

Even a minister with the highest moral standards will change due to changes in the situation. Take her for example. As the situation in the Zi Ling Kingdom became critical, nearly one-third of the ministers who had originally surrendered to her have defected.

After all, the current Purple Spirit Kingdom can be said to be at war with the entire Southern Continent and the Holy Court. Few people can withstand the obstacles alone.

That is Ash, who has been helping her with all his strength from beginning to end.

哪怕到了现在也不离不弃。

If it were someone else, he would have long since abandoned his princely title of the Purple Spirit Kingdom and gone to the elf territory to become king.

With such a large territory, as long as it is developed well and with the support of the Holy Legion, it will become the fifth human kingdom on the continent in a few years.

However, Ash did not do so.

He even asked her to move the royal city and seek refuge in Harvey City.

[‘Ash, do you know that I… am ashamed of you.’]

On the screen, Irelia’s character is standing in the royal city looking west.

[In June 1788, Queen Irelia announced that the royal city would be moved to Harvey City. As soon as the news came out, it immediately aroused opposition from the royal dignitaries.]

[‘Queen! No, I have never heard of a royal city being moved in history. The Purple Spirit inheritance cannot be broken!’]

[‘Even if we die in battle, we will never leave the royal city! ‘]

[‘You leave your homeland, abandon your honor, and live a miserable life. What kind of nobleman are you! ‘]

[‘Move to Harvey City, that is Ash’s territory, and the Purple Spirit Kingdom will be his from now on! ‘]

[In the same month, the nobles argued endlessly about the migration. Someone suggested that this was a plot by Ash to control the Purple Spirit. You will find out who spread the rumor and behead him in public.]

[‘I have decided to move to Harvey City!’]

[The morale of the people of Ziling Kingdom has dropped significantly, please deal with it in time. 】

[Your support rate in the kingdom has dropped significantly, please deal with it in time. 】

Irelia glanced at the information on the interface. After the announcement of the relocation of the royal city, her support rate had dropped to 28%, and was still falling.

If the support rate is too low, it will increase the probability of triggering a usurpation of the throne and trigger a rebellion.

But Irelia can’t care about so much now.

[You decided to move the royal city despite the opposition of the nobles. ]

[That night, you tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, looking back on your life, you fought on the battlefield, tried your best, but the empire is still elusive. When you feel upset, there is no one around you to talk to.]

[‘I am already nearly thirty years old this year.’]

[You stand up and walk to the window, looking up at the bright moon, feeling deeply moved. Then a person comes to mind. He helped you ascend the throne, conquered the elves in the north, conquered the sea tribe in the south, and saved Zi Ling from the dire straits. He is so loyal throughout the ages, and there is no one else like him.]

【You suddenly feel a strong urge in your heart. 】

[The next day, Queen Irelia announced that for the sake of the kingdom’s inheritance, Ash Engel would be crowned prince and a wedding banquet would be held on a chosen date.]

【When the news came out, the whole kingdom was shocked. 】

[That day, Princess Asna angrily denounced Queen Irelia for her corrupt character and said she was unworthy of being the Purple Spirit King, and opposed Irelia’s migration.]

“…”

Ash fell into silence as he looked at the simulated information that kept popping up in front of him.

Who can tell him why this happens?

No, Irelia, I asked you to move the royal city, but you held a stupid wedding banquet!

This woman is mentally ill! And she is seriously ill!

Wei Nei is still the best.

What made Ash even more speechless was that Yasuna openly cursed Irelia, which brought the hatred between the two sides to the maximum.

He just couldn’t understand. You are a subject and a sister, can’t you discuss things in private?

Otherwise, sending a magic letter to Irelia and having a chat would be better than directly declaring war, right?

Now when Ash clicks on Harvey City, he can see that there is a hatred buff inside, and it is directly aimed at Irelia. This means that if Irelia, as the queen, enters Harvey City, she may even be attacked by the people in the city.

After all, Yasna has been living in Harvey City since he stepped down from office. He has been running the business for so many years, and his reputation in Harvey City is second only to his.

“Why don’t you vote?”

Ash rubbed his temple. Women were the bad guys. He just wanted to turn on the free mode and kill his way through the world.

With a sigh of relief, Ash began to think of a way to break the impasse.

[In June 1788, the Holy See sent out troops again, with Paladin Captain Orlas leading 6 elite troops to attack the Purple Spirit Kingdom.]

……

……

I visited the graves in the mountains today. I walked around for a long time and only wrote 8k. I am very sorry. I will see if I can write more in the evening. I will post the bounty statistics in the evening. Please give me a monthly vote!!!

Volume 85: Chapter 76 Chapter 5 Crusade against the Holy Court [5k, monthly ticket requested]

Irelia stared at the simulation interface, her whole body in a semi-petrified state.

No, why does the plot unfold like this?

Are you tossing and turning late at night, unable to sleep? You are clearly in love!

Although Irelia knew that this game would trigger special plots under certain conditions, she really didn’t expect the game character to do this to her at this time.

“No, when did Ash and I become so close?… Well, it doesn’t seem abnormal. After all, Ash and I…”

Irelia opened the character’s attributes and found that the character was actually in a state of very high happiness value.

Favorability and happiness are two very important values ​​in the game.

Because these two values ​​are most likely to trigger special plots, and they are not as step-by-step as in the normal simulation state.

The time she and Ash ate the forbidden fruit was because the favorability between the game characters reached the standard, and then they had sex right away… Maybe because of that, Ash will be more loyal to her?

Irelia thought for a moment and felt that…these were not important.

What matters is Yasuna’s reaction.

She stared at the simulation for a long time.

Because of Yasuna’s public rebuke, her support rate dropped another 5%. Some ministers even began to turn to Yasuna’s camp, and calls were heard within the kingdom for Yasuna to become queen again.

《“榴↓”qｕN:叭∞_５【〔㈦≯6ˇ（榴{々３肆↓驷贰After all, when Asuna was the queen, everything was fine in the Purple Spirit Kingdom, with good weather and peace. But then Irelia came to power, and there were wars today and tomorrow, making life miserable for the people.

Besides, how can she compare with Yasuna?

The throne was originally passed to Yasuna by the old king.

I was married to Ash a long time ago.

Moreover, there are already two children, so the issue of succession to the throne has been resolved. If the royal family is allowed to choose, they will probably stand on Yasuna’s side.

They don’t care what contributions Irelia has made to the Purple Spirit Kingdom, such as exterminating the elves, conquering the sea tribe in the south, and making the ten kingdoms afraid to fight back. It’s useless! The reality is that since you, Irelia, became the queen, the country has almost been destroyed and the royal city has to be moved. At the critical moment, you don’t think about solving the kingdom’s problems, but run to snatch men from your sister.

Although sharing of lovers among nobles did occur from time to time, many nobles were like-minded.

But these transactions are conducted in secret, so it’s fine as long as everyone knows about it.

In fact, it all comes down to one sentence: the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.
