My Rebirth and the Strange Adventure of Black Zhen
Chapter 348: Heresy Inquisition (Part )
Antonio Bathory, the new patriarch of the Bathory family, successfully won the support of the Habsburg Kingdom army with precious gold and earnest letters for help before he fell victim to the conspiracy of the Hateful Demon King and Andariel from another world.
It should be noted that in that fantasy-filled medieval singularity period, the Habsburg Kingdom army was a powerful and well-trained elite army! They were by no means comparable to the temporary civil defense organizations hastily formed by civilians in Bathory Castle!
The Habsburg army not only has a remarkable high penetration rate of leather armor, but also its members are proficient in a variety of complex and difficult combat skills. In addition, the army is also equipped with a professional medical team and skilled blacksmiths and other talents with various auxiliary skills. Such a complete and advanced military configuration will undoubtedly make the Habsburg army even more powerful and invincible!
When the Habsburg Kingdom's iron-like army appeared near Bathory Castle, the originally aggressive tribal expedition team only put up a brief resistance and carried out some harassment that was more symbolic than practical, and then they retreated back to their tribal camp in panic, like mice seeing a cat.
However, in stark contrast to the cowardly tribal expeditions, the Queen's faction of the Mantis Expedition, which had been launching frantic attacks on Bathory Castle at all costs, was not intimidated by the huge force in front of them. Instead of retreating, they sent half of their forces to block the Habsburg Kingdom's army and try to stop the other side's advance.
Unfortunately, these mantis demons underestimated the strength of the Habus Kingdom's army. Not long after, the Habus Kingdom's army easily broke through the defense line of the Queen's mantis demon expedition team with its sophisticated equipment and well-trained soldiers, making their plan completely bankrupt.
What made the Queen's Mantid even more confused and frightened was that this army from the Kingdom of Habus actually contained clergy who could use holy light energy for healing and magicians who spoke with an authentic British accent! These mysterious and powerful existences gave the Queen's Mantid an illusion - could it be that they had not left the world of Azeroth full of magical power?
In fact, this cannot be attributed to the weak strength of the Mantis Expedition sent by the Queen. After all, they have done their best. The real reason is that the new patriarch of the Bathory family, Antonio Bathory, was really generous and gave a huge amount of gold as support.
This gold was a timely help to the King of the Habsburg Kingdom. You know, to maintain a strong, elite and well-equipped army, the funds required are quite huge. The gold donated by Antonio Bathory just solved the urgent need, which can be said to be just in time.
With this infusion of wealth, the King of the Habsburg Kingdom can not only ease the current tight financial situation, but also further consolidate his ruling position and ensure the security and stability of the country. At the same time, he can also use this money to improve the treatment and training level of the soldiers, thereby creating a more powerful military force.
All in all, while the Mantid expedition may have suffered a setback, Antonio Bathory's contribution was undoubtedly enormous, and his generosity brought new hope and opportunity to the Habus Kingdom.
Coincidentally, in addition to the King of the Habsburg Kingdom, there were others who benefited from the new head of the Bathory family, Antonio Bathory. These people were clergymen who were eager to spread the doctrine in the Bathory family's territory.
They had lofty ideals and missions, hoping to spread the light of faith throughout the land. However, it was not easy to achieve this goal. So Antonio Bathory saw an opportunity and reached an agreement with these clergy: he agreed to let the clergy preach freely in his territory, but in exchange, the clergy had to go to the Bathory family to provide support.
This was undoubtedly a difficult decision for the clergy. On the one hand, they were passionate about missionary work and eager to spread the gospel to more people; on the other hand, they had to face the reality of the dilemma - they needed the support of Antonio Bathory to achieve this goal.
Finally, after careful consideration, the clergy decided to accept the proposal. They understood that although doing so might violate some principles, it might be the only feasible way under the current circumstances. So, with firm belief and determination, they embarked on the journey to the Bathory family.
Normally, those who possess magical powers are able to transcend the worldly disturbances and troubles. They are not easily disturbed by mundane things, and are even less willing to get involved in them. However, nothing is absolute in the world, and there will always be some special circumstances.
This time, the newly appointed patriarch of the Bathory family, Antonio Bathory, threw out a temptation that all magicians in the Kingdom of Britain could not resist. The bargaining chip he offered turned out to be a treasure that the Bathory family had passed down for generations and carefully preserved: a gorgeous belt inlaid with gold edges from ancient Greece!
When the gold-rimmed belt was presented in front of the magicians of the British Kingdom, they, for the first time ever, treated the messenger from the Bathory family who came to deliver the gold-rimmed belt well.
The reason why the magicians of the Kingdom of Britain behaved out of character is that this mysterious belt seemed to contain some powerful and ancient magic, whose value is immeasurable.
For the magicians of the Kingdom of Britain, such a temptation was too tempting to refuse. Who could resist such a precious and rare treasure? Even though they knew that they might be involved in worldly affairs, they were willing to take the risk to get this legendary belt. After all, such an opportunity is rare, and if you miss it, you may never get it again.
In addition, the messenger from the Bathory family also brought another important transaction information to the magicians of the British Kingdom. If the magicians of the British Kingdom are willing to teach the new Bathory family patriarch Antonio Bathory magic skills, then Antonio Bathory clearly promised in the letter of request for help that he would give them three additional precious treasures of equal value.
For those magicians in the Kingdom of Britain who are keen on studying magic, ancient treasures have an irresistible attraction. According to these magicians, the mysterious power contained in ancient treasures belongs to the magic of the Age of Gods. By deeply exploring the secrets of the Age of Gods magic implied by these ancient treasures, British magicians may be one step closer to the "roots" - the ultimate goal that all magicians dream of.
After research and analysis, the magicians of the Kingdom of Britain believed that the mantis army outside Bathory Castle was not strong, and were willing to accept Antonio Bathory, the new patriarch of the Bathory family, as their student.
The magicians of the Kingdom of Britain estimated that the benefits outweighed the costs, and followed the army of the Kingdom of Habsburg to the outside of Bathory Castle.
In that mysterious and dangerous world, the Queen sent a brave and fearless Mantis expedition team to the medieval singularity. They were tasked with an important mission, but only half of their troops were sent to face the most powerful top combat force.
The outcome of this battle was unpredictable, as the enemy was too powerful. However, the mantis demons did not retreat, and they resolutely threw themselves into the fierce battle. Each mantis demon knew the difficulty of the task, but they were not afraid, and used their indomitable will and superb combat skills to fight the enemy to the death.
Originally, the strategy planned by the queen was to let the Mantis Expedition and the Alliance Expedition contain and consume each other, thus maintaining a delicate balance. But all this changed with the reinforcements invited by Antonio Bathory, the new patriarch of the Bathory family.
These mysterious reinforcements were numerous and powerful, and their joining instantly turned the tide of the battle. The already disadvantaged Mantid expedition team faced unprecedented pressure, and the balance of victory seemed to be tilting towards the other side. However, even in a desperate situation, the Mantids still refused to give up easily. They continued to fight bravely and tried their best to save the situation.
Even the noble Queen sent her loyal Mantis army to join the battle, and ordered them to use the terrible Sha energy pollutants at all costs! Countless Sha energy pollutants with a foul smell and evil breath fell from the sky like raindrops, quickly covering the entire bloody and tragic battlefield.
These Sha-energy pollutants, which contain the void power of the ancient god, A'Shaarj, seem to have life. They immediately release powerful power after they touch the ground. On the one hand, this mysterious and terrifying power makes the brave and fearless Mantid warriors under the queen more powerful, and their attack power, speed and endurance have been greatly improved; on the other hand, for other creatures who are unfortunate enough to be in this war, these deadly Sha-energy pollutants are nothing short of a nightmare. Once contaminated by them, they will suffer severe damage or even death.
The defenseless Habsburg Kingdom army, clergy, and British Kingdom magicians had never expected that the enemy would use such a despicable means to launch an attack. They were defeated and lost their armor in a short time! Although the Habsburg Kingdom's army was well-trained and changed its formation in a very short time and raised the huge shields above their heads, this was only a stopgap measure.
The vast majority of the evil energy pollutants did not directly fall on the members of the Habsburg Kingdom's army, but a small amount of the evil energy pollutants still fell through the gaps. These ordinary metal armors had no magical defense at all, and they were simply vulnerable to the powerful evil energy pollutants!
Before the queen sent out those ferocious mantis demons to launch the massacre, the army of the Habus Kingdom had already fallen into extreme chaos. The soldiers fled in panic, having completely lost the will to fight!
If the clergy and magicians from the Kingdom of Britain had not possessed magical resistance, the tens of thousands of reinforcements invited by the new Patriarch of the Bathory family would have been wiped out. The clergy were seen chanting, and mysterious and solemn religious texts floated out of their mouths, gradually gathering into a huge, inverted, bowl-shaped object with golden patterns. This bowl formed by the religious texts seemed to have endless power, successfully resisting the surging evil energy pollutants that tried to erode everything.
The British magicians who had already been hiding in the barrier maintained by the clergy began to launch their counterattack. These experienced magicians knew how to play their best role in the battle. They skillfully used various magic techniques to continuously inject their own magic power into the attack.
At this moment, the commander of the Habus Kingdom army was relieved when he saw that some of his men were able to withstand the fierce attack of the mantis demons sent by the queen. He immediately issued an order to let all the soldiers of the Habus Kingdom army quickly enter the solid barrier held up by the clergy. In this way, the Habus Kingdom army, which was originally at a disadvantage, got a chance to breathe. They began to reorganize their defenses and prepare for the next potentially more intense and brutal battle.
Observing that the reinforcements were in danger, the people in Bathory Castle and members of the Alliance expedition team who were outside the influence of the Sha energy pollutants provided fire support.
Months after the Lich King's defeat, Fandral gathered many druids to Teldrassil and began a grand plan to heal the tree. Naralex, Broll Bearmantle, and Hamuul Runetotem were among them. He intended to use the Idol of Remulos to complete the plan, overruling Broll's better suggestion. However, before the ritual could be completed, Tyrande arrived, having been warned by Elune that Malfurion's life was in greater danger. It was later revealed that Staghelm's plan was not actually to purify the tree, but to corrupt it. Fandral first grafted a Nightmare branch onto the World Tree, and when he led the Cenarion Circle in infusing the World Tree with power, he was actually initiating the corruption. Fandral had already fallen into the service of Xavius, the Nightmare Lord, who was defeated by Malfurion during the War of the Ancients and imprisoned under a tree in the Emerald Dream.
Xavius, now known as the Nightmare Lord, served the dark forces behind the Emerald Nightmare. He appeared to Fandral in the form of Valstann Staghelm. Fandral could never forgive himself for not being able to save his son, and Xavius played on his guilt and anger, eventually driving him mad and blinding him to the truth. He came to believe that Valstann had returned to him, and that everything "Valstann" urged him to do was for the greater good. He used Morrowgrain to trap Malfurion in the dream and grafted Xavius's corrupted branches onto the new great tree Teldrassil, all in the belief that it would fully restore his son to life.
