[Felice: Khorne Khorne Khorne Khorne…] Five
【Weinei: Khorne Khorne Khorne Khorne…】⑥
[Irelia: …Can you two be more normal?]⑷
The battle of the Frankish royal city was over, countless believers were cheering the greatness of Pope Khorne, and the forum was exploding with fireworks.
No one expected the outcome of the battle to be like this.
For the first time in many years, the Holy See’s extermination army was defeated on the front battlefield, and it was a terrible defeat.
The followers of the Holy See were sacrificed in blood by the pagans. What a huge shame!
Clement will probably be nailed to the cross of historical shame.
Phyllis and Vene fulfilled their promise immediately, and from now on they are loyal believers of Khorne – well, in the game.
Irelia was in no mood to play. She was starting to have a headache. The Holy See was still causing trouble here, and Khorne had appeared over there. As soon as Clement bowed, all kinds of religions sprang up in the southern continent, and even pagans everywhere knelt and bowed their heads, shouting “Khorne”. According to the information she had gathered, this was the most grand carnival day in the history of the pagans.
Then the problem is coming.
The pagans were having a party, how could she, as the queen, be happy?
Looking at the prompts indicating the decline in public security, people’s livelihood, and stability in various places, Irelia really wanted to twist off the head of the Pope of Khorne and kick it like a ball.
Is the territory that my general conquered with great effort given to you to use for developing followers?
You are so awesome, why don’t you start your own empire?
All in all, Irelia is annoying right now.
Then, something even more annoying happened.
[In April 1786, 4 soldiers of the Holy See were killed by the Khorne Cult. The Pope of Khorne held a blood sacrifice in the Frankish Royal City. The soldiers of the Holy See were used as the best sacrifices. Countless believers shouted “Blood sacrifice to the Blood God”, and the reputation of the Khorne Cult was greatly improved.]
[The next day, the Holy See issued a stern statement, and Cardinal Ivanovich led an army of 50,000 to Frank.]
The 50,000-man Holy Court army consists of:
Paladin: 10000
Sword and Shield Infantry: 10000
Punishment Knight: 20000
Priest, Mage, Archer: 10000
The appearance of 20,000 Punishment Knights means that the situation has escalated to an extremely serious level.
But the scene changed, and her general finally started to take action.
[After the blood sacrifice in the Frankish capital, Asher Engle immediately sent 50,000 holy troops into Frank to suppress the rebellion.]
[‘The kingdom’s territory cannot be violated, and the queen’s authority will override everything! ‘]
[That month, the Khorne Cult, inspired by the name of the god of war Ash, began to flee from the Frankish capital, and countless followers scattered throughout Frankish territory.]
[Pope Khorne angrily accused Ash of being ungrateful and saying that the Holy See had evil ambitions and that expelling the heretics was just an excuse. ]
[‘The harm of the Holy See is worse than a flood or a beast. Faith is just a tool for them to use. The believers of the Mother Goddess of Life are still in dire straits because God doesn’t care. ‘——Pope of Khorne]
Irelia was stunned.
This guy is quite cute. After being beaten away, he still played a trick on the Holy See. Although the top leaders of various countries know what the Holy See is like, most believers do not understand. They are brainwashed by the Holy See’s missionaries and become tools for the Holy See to use conveniently to achieve its own goals.
The Pope of Khorne has now had his ugly mask torn off.
“It seems that my Ash is more powerful.”
Clement? What a nobody, a blood sacrifice by the cultists, just like shit.
The Pope of Khorne was boasted to be so powerful, but now it seems that he is not capable of anything. The so-called Pope became a stray dog when he saw Ash.
㈨㈣∈%0≤㈣㈢↑-㈤』↓㈥∈※㈣(」中∞■转☆(②Qun: However, the Cult of Khorne is growing too fast. It was previously claimed to have a population of 100,000. Now it has defeated the Holy See Legion head-on, attracting a large number of followers. From the map of Frank, we can see that the number of Khorne’s Cult has reached 200,000 and is still growing rapidly.
This is the horror of religious brainwashing!
Before we knew it, the church had grown in number, and we didn’t even have to pay them.
Irelia was just afraid that the Holy See would flourish throughout the kingdom. Royal power and divine power have always been in opposition to each other. She had no intention of disrespecting the Mother Goddess of Life, but the development of the Purple Spirit Kingdom did not require the guidance of God.
At this time, after the Khorne cult members fled from the Frankish royal city, Asher ordered to continue the pursuit and forced the cult members led by Pope Khorne to the border of the Frankish territory.
When the several thousand remaining Holy See troops in Franks saw this, they immediately went forward to intercept them, ready to exterminate the pagans together with the Holy Legion. However, they were counter-annihilated by the army led by Pope Khorne in less than two rounds.
[In May 1786, Pope Khorne led a large number of followers to leave Frank, and followers from all over the country went into hiding and began to disperse outside the Purple Spirit Kingdom.]
艾瑞莉娅一瞧,立刻笑了起来。
Now that Khorne has started to wreak havoc elsewhere, the Holy See naturally has no reason to keep an eye on Frank.
If it was before, it might be possible, but now the Cult of Khorne has become a major threat to the Holy See, no less threatening than the Purple Spirit Kingdom. After all, its believers are everywhere, and it will take time for the Purple Spirit Kingdom to become emperor. Enemies in the open are always easier to deal with than those in the dark.
As expected, Ivanovich was still on his way on horseback when he saw the Holy See army being slaughtered again. He immediately changed his direction and led his army towards the direction where Pope Khorne was retreating.
Irelia is very happy!
[Felice: This is interesting. The Cult of Khorne and the Holy See are fighting each other, and the Purple Kingdom is reaping the benefits, Khorne.]
[Weinei: You won’t just break through the second stage of the main storyline, right? Khorne.]
[Felice: No, my brain is starting to tremble, Khorne.]
【Weinei: Khorne, Khorne, Khorne…】
[Anonymous: It is still difficult at present. In terms of the number of followers, Khorne is far inferior to the Holy See. Moreover, the Holy See has developed for so many years and its foundation is much richer than that of the four kingdoms.]
[Anonymous: @Irelia, be careful of those small countries. They are secretly controlled by the Holy See. Once the critical moment comes, the Holy See will use these small countries to attack you in the name of other countries. In addition, be careful of the nobles under your command, especially in the border areas. They may be bribed by the Holy See.]
【Felice: How do you know? Khorne.】
“By using a small country?”
Irelia nodded slightly. Indeed, if it really came to the critical moment for the Purple Spirit Kingdom to become an empire, the Holy See would have to tear its face off.
And those small countries are obviously the best tools. The Holy See can even infiltrate its troops into them and attack the Purple Spirit Kingdom in the name of other countries.
As for the issue of the traitor, the largest faction, Had, has already fallen, and now 90% of the high-ranking officials in the kingdom are her people, so there shouldn’t be much of a problem.
She looked at the anonymous person and wanted to ask who he was.
And…Princess Phyllis, Princess Vene, can you two be a little more normal?
What Khorne followers? If this gets out, Benicia and Candia will probably expel you from the royal family on the spot!
Just then, something unexpected happened.
[In May 1786, the sea tribe army on the South China Sea front attacked the city of Leco. Kawi led 5 troops to defend the city. The offensive and defensive battle lasted for three days and three nights. The sea witch priest Isoka led the sea witch team to hold a sea god ceremony and flooded the city of Leco.]
[The Kingdom’s army was defeated, Commander Kavi was missing, and more than half of the 40,000 soldiers were killed or wounded. ]
[The city of Lyco was lost, and more than 50,000 people were killed or wounded. The rest were all captured by the sea tribe.]
[The commander of the sea tribe has sent a trade request, wanting to exchange prisoners captured in the war for supplies with the kingdom. One prisoner is equivalent to one gold coin of supplies. Do you accept it? ]
“Bastard!”
Irelia was immediately enraged.
“This group of sea creatures is too rampant. I will destroy all ten of their clans!”
The sea tribe gave her a difficult problem.
The city of Leco was forced. Now the sea people owned four major cities and had at least nearly 100,000 captives. If the kingdom wanted to spend money to buy these captives, the money problem would be a small issue, but this precedent would be set. In the future, every time the sea people came to ask for supplies, they would just capture a city and wait for them to send supplies over.
Besides, the price of a prisoner at one gold coin was too high.
It can be said that this money buys the people’s trust and expectations of the king.
Buy it, there will be more trouble later.
If you don’t buy it, you will have a lot of trouble now.
How to choose?
Just then, new news came.
[In May, the commander of the Holy Legion, Navit, led his army to attack the city of Lyco, annihilated more than 5 sea tribe troops, and seized control of the city of Lyco.]
Irelia’s eyes lit up.
The Holy Legion is still reliable.
[In the same month, Navit led his army to pursue the sea tribe army and defeated the sea tribe again in the Exoda Plain, killing more than 8,000 sea tribe members.]
[In the same month, Navit defeated the sea tribe army three times and killed 14,000 sea tribe members.]
[‘As long as the alien race survives, my heart will not die!’ – Navit Hades]
[Because of Navit’s heroic performance, the morale of the South China Sea border guards has been greatly improved. ]
Upon seeing this, Irelia immediately gave up the idea of paying money to buy prisoners.
[In June 1786, Navit defeated the army of the Sea Tribe. The commander of the Sea Tribe led his army to retreat to Tulu City. Navit ordered an attack on the city. After the city was captured, 6 Sea Tribe members were killed.]
【Tulu City has been conquered.】
“Phew! This is what a commander should be like!”
I have to say, Irelia was very satisfied with Vitt’s performance.
The other party’s command ability is already among the best in the kingdom, even the South China Sea God of War Kavi cannot compare to him… Speaking of which, my brother is still missing, so please don’t let anything happen to him.
In terms of ability, Kavi is pretty good, and he is familiar with the South China Sea front. He has been guarding the area for many years without any major problems.
If Kavi dies, who will guard the South China Sea front in the future? This is a big problem.
Just as I was thinking about it, a red message popped up.
[On June 6, Angus, the lord of Tulu City, provided false information, leading Navit and 19 soldiers of the Holy Legion into the Ens Mountains and cutting off the Holy Legion’s supply lines.]
【The Lord of Tulu City rebelled.】
[On June 6, Navit’s legion was attacked by the sea tribe. The sea witch priest Isoka flooded the canyon, and the dragon-scale army joined the battlefield. The Holy Legion was defeated and more than half of them were killed or wounded.]
[On June 6, Navit led his troops to flee from Qifeng Valley and was once again blocked by the sea tribe army.]
[On June 6, Navit led the remaining troops to defend Qifeng Valley and issued a request for rescue.]
[Ash dispatched Jessica to lead 40,000 Holy Legion troops to the South China Sea front.]
“No, it’s too late!”
Irelia’s eyes narrowed.
It would take at least half a month for the Holy Legion to reach the South China Sea front from its base. Given the offensive of the sea clan, how could Witt possibly hold out for half a month?
“Angus…damn thing!”
Irelia opened the strategic map and immediately ordered the border kingdom’s troops to provide support.
Previously, the kingdom’s army suffered a defeat under the leadership of Kavi, and the remaining less than 40,000 troops are still resting. Although the combat effectiveness is not enough, the number of people is enough. As long as they can delay the offensive of the sea clan, even if all 40,000 people are killed and Witt is saved, it will be worth it!
[On June 6, the Kingdom’s Commander Kakat led his army to Qifeng Valley.]
[On the same day, Karkat was blocked by Angus’s army in the Enns Mountains.]
boom!
Irelia slammed the table in anger, startling the guards outside the room.
[On June 6, a 29-man sea tribe army besieged the Phoenix Valley. Navit’s army ran out of supplies, food was scarce, weapons were broken, and soldiers were exhausted. Navit led his army to charge, but was repelled by the sea witch priest Isoka and the dragon scale commander Ert.]
[On June 6, Navit led his troops to break out again, but failed. The number of remaining troops was 39.]
[In July, the commander of the sea tribe army, Ert, ordered the entire army to attack. Navit defended the Phoenix Valley to the death. After a day of fighting, all his soldiers were wiped out and Navit died in battle.]
[‘Grand Duke, march south! Destroy the alien race! Destroy the alien race! ! ‘——Navit Hades]
…
亚修盯着模拟界面,微微皱眉。
He had been developing the Cult of Khorne and dealing with the Holy See army, and the affairs on the South China Sea front were left to Navit.
Originally, with the ability of this famous general, it should not be a problem for him to lead the Holy Legion to repel the invasion of the Sea Clan. It’s not that he has never thought about dealing with the Sea Clan, but the Sea Clan has been entrenched in overseas islands for many years, and it is too difficult to send troops to wipe them out. Now the territory needs to be developed, the kingdom is on the road to establishing an empire, and the Holy Court is eyeing them covetously, so he really doesn’t have the extra energy to take care of them.
It turns out that the more you give in, the more the enemy will press forward.
