Release that Witch Chapter 603: Prelude to War
Zero stands on the top floor of Tower of Babel and looks down at the busy Holy City of Hermes.
The number of believers traveling to the plateau has doubled compared to previous years. The new Judgement Army is also Eternal Winter. It transported nearly 20,000 people to Church. The army lost in the previous battle with Evil Beast and Kingdom of Wolf Heart was quickly replenished. On the contrary, the scale exceeded the beginning of the war.
It can be said that unified Four Great Kingdoms is the only correct decision for Your Excellency O'Brien. When Greycastle and Dawn fall into the hands of Holy City, Church will undoubtedly usher in a new peak.
But it is not enough. She thinks that this peak is more than enough to rule the secular kingdom, but it is still not as good as Federation with Fertile Plain.
If you want to win in War of Divine Will, Church must do more.
"This time isn't Isabella?" There was a sudden sound of Tayfun behind him. Zero turned around and saw three Archbishops entering the hall in turn.
"She was sent to Dawn by Your Excellency to perform the supervision task," Zero bowed slightly, as a tribute, "I will preside over this meeting on her behalf today."
"Is His Excellency the Pope really so busy?" Ell shrugged. "Don't even have time to meet us?"
"Pay attention to your attitude, Ell," Soli Dull frowned, "Your Excellency has its own plans and cannot tolerate you to question."
"I just talk casually."
"It will be very busy to sit in that position," Tayfun smiled, "when Your Excellency O'Brien was still, I often heard Mayne and Heather complain."
"That's true," Zero gestured to the three, and walked to the small table by the window, "Let's talk here."
"Don't go to the back room?"
"Now the situation of Church is very good, who will overhear our conversation and leak it out?" Zero said easily, "Even the stubborn noble, you know which side to choose."
"But there are always people who like to go against the current," although Tayfun did not agree with her statement, but did not insist on going to the back room, the other two were even more indifferent.
"You said the four His Highness the Prince of Greycastle's?"
"Who else besides him," the old man sat down, sipped tea, and shouted, "We failed to try to surround Western Region's. Not only Pure One, but even the principal sacrifice ran back to Hermes. This is simply absurd. ! "
"It was Your Excellency who agreed to withdraw," Zero said unhurriedly.
"You mean ... Mayne?" Tayfun froze.
"Step by step, step by step," she nodded. "Since the silver whip was killed in Fallen Dragon Ridge, we have fallen behind Roland Wimbledon. It will be three months after we know the news, and then we will send new staff to confirm It's too late. So you don't need to blame your Pure One, they insist that Greycastle will only become the target of Roland. "
"Does n’t need to be punished? I want to take this opportunity to temper Emma's temper," Soli raised her eyebrows, "She always questioned my order."
"It must be that your command is full of loopholes," Ell sarcastically said. "After all, using Judgement Warrior is a difficult task."
While waiting for Soli to speak out, Zero has taken the lead to say, "Listening to her questions may help you a lot. But if you want to discipline your Pure One, I won't say much, just don't toss. Too cruel, every Pure One is a hard-won wealth of Church. "
"Yes, Lord Zero."
"But ... why Roland robs God Punishment Stone?" Tayfun groaned. "Is it because of the relationship between the silver whip and the storm that made him aware of the existence of Pure One?"
"Maybe I have known for a long time," Zero said, "We all know that he started to solicit witch a long time ago, and he mingled with Sleeping Island's people and witch's ability is strange. Can we know Church's news a little bit? Not surprising. "
"Stolen so many God stones, and I haven't seen a lot of sales there. This is not a good sign."
"Not necessarily," she knocked on the table and focused everyone's attention. "This is why Your Excellency called you today. Pivotal Secret Area's intelligence agency recently discovered that Cold Wind Ridge has abnormal food purchases. In addition, there are an incredible number of ships going north via Scarlet Water City, and one or two can be seen almost every day, but Silver Light City has not seen these ships heading for Kingdom Capital, and the same is true of the Sanwan River. "
"..." The three looked at each other, "Where have all the ships gone?"
"You have been busy recovering the combat preparations deployed in Dawn recently, so it is normal to not pay attention to the situation of Greycastle's," Zero said bluntly. "After excluding both sides of the east and west, there is only one place where they can go. Northern Lands's Quiet Valley Town. There is only a tributary connected to Scarlet Water River by one by one, and it is also the town closest to Cold Wind Ridge from Greycastle north. "
Relying on memory of Queen of Clear Water, she knows the towns of Greycastle's well, "In other words, Roland Wimbledon is mobilizing natural resource in his territory, and he is concentrating them on northern region. What he wants to do, the answer is self-evident."
None of the three bishops are stupid people. They quickly understood the meaning of Zero, but understanding is one thing, believing is another. "Wait, do you think Roland intends to attack Holy City of Hermes ? "
"It's not what I think, but the conclusion analyzed by the intelligence agencies, and His Excellency the Pope agrees that this victory of speculative Kingdom Capital makes him confident, that Holy City of Hermes is also vulnerable, and it is not difficult to understand that this decision will be made. Admittedly, he snow powder weapon is far stronger than Timothy, but we are not unprepared. Therefore, Your Excellency will allow the Greycastle's Church personnel to temporarily evacuate, "Zero said," People who are preparing to openly hostile to us, noble cannot stop him from sweeping churches everywhere. . "
"He ... is crazy!" Soli whispered.
"The Wimbledon family are all lunatics," Ell swallowed. "Garcia is the same, Roland is the same."
"This news is important, and we should make further confirmation," Tayfun groaned for a moment, "Will I let my Pure One go to Cold Wind Ridge to explore it?"
"It is not necessary," Zero vetoed. "Sooner or later, we must attack Greycastle, so he concentrated his troops and saved himself, so we don't have to attack cities like Wolf Heart city by city. As long as we defeat Fourth Prince, the war will be It's over. "She looked at Tayfun," How long can we finish preparing for the supplies? "
Old Bishop whispered, "About two weeks."
"What if you send an advance force of about 1,000 people? Then match with 300 God Punishment Armys."
"A team of this size will be set off tomorrow."
"Very well," Zero stood up, "rather than waiting for Roland to come to us for trouble, let's start with Cold Wind Ridge. Isn't he collecting food there? Maybe it can compensate us for a little God stone loss. Soli Dull, You are in charge of this advance force, and won the Cold Wind Ridge within three days. "
However, she didn't get a response immediately.
The three of them hesitant for a moment, among which Tayfun asked, "Do you mean this or Your Excellency Mayne?"
"..." Zero suddenly felt a rage in her heart. This group of idiots, she is the successor recognized by O'Brien and the continuation of the orthodox Federation. Does a mortal dare to question himself? She held down heart fire and pretended to be indifferent, smiling, "Of course it was His Excellency the Pope's decision. If you have any questions, you can ask him personally, but Pivotal Secret Area's business is very heavy, so there is nothing special, it is best not to interfere with Your Excellency Work. "
"Yes, follow the divine will." The three bishops stroked his chest.
