scepter

The negative effect of the fall of the Principality of Mecklen was huge. The Grand Duke of Mecklen lost all his personal possessions, including his relatives and courtiers. The people in this world must have been in danger.

In addition, everyone from nobles to civilians was stunned by the news. Civilians from various countries bordering on the Mecklen border ran to the interior in panic. A pessimistic mood began to spread, and many people Seeing this kind of situation, I think that human beings can't compete with monsters. It takes time to form an allied army, and people's hearts have already begun to scatter.

The monster did not stop for a while when it captured the Principality of Mecklen. As Yannick and the others expected, they were divided into three groups and went to the Charlemagne Empire, the Garter Empire, and the Principality of Santos respectively.

The impatient monsters seem to be no longer satisfied with this speed of annexation. Obviously, they hope to occupy the continent faster and become the new masters of Olin Continent.

Prior to this, although the Allied forces had made some preparations, everyone still underestimated the speed of the monster. After the fall of the Principality of Mecklen, the border cities of the three countries including the Charlemagne Empire also encountered unprecedented threats.

La Serena on the border of the Garter Empire, a city that was originally occupied by monsters, was once taken back by humans because of the improvement of the situation, and the fleeing civilians also came back one after another. Sweeping again.

The arrival of the allied forces and the fleeing of the civilians made La Serena a completely chaotic scene. Without going to the battlefield in person, one would never be able to imagine the horror of this war.

Demonic spiders, demonic apes, giant pythons... the terrifying monsters that Yannick and the others saw in the dark forest all appeared in front of them now, and those puppets who might have been Mecklenians had now become undead The army, they seem to be commanded by a unified order, scrambling to appear on the horizon in the distance, billowing smoke and dust everywhere they go, and yellow sand all over the sky, from the perspective of Yannick standing on the city wall, this group of "locusts" The army is like a black tide slowly coming from a distance.

Because of the experience of losing the city last time, the city wall of La Serena has been reinforced and heightened, and it is no longer the thin city wall of the last monster invasion. Magic defense array, Yannick actually didn't think that La Serena could really resist the army of these monsters.

Soon, the army of monsters stepped on the warning line of the magic defense array. From the eyes of the soldiers guarding the city wall, they could only see a white light shining, which was so dazzling that it was almost blinding. The demon apes in front let out a shriek of screams because they stepped into the magic defense array. Their bodies were instantly smashed into pieces by the activated magic array, and the half of their bodies that were still outside the magic town before they had time to enter were full of blood. It splashed and fell to the ground.

This huge magic defense array was jointly produced by dozens of magisters and wizard-level mages. There is also one on the border between the Charlemagne Empire and the Principality of Santos. The range of the magic array almost covers the entire border. Therefore, the magic power of these dozens of mages was exhausted, and now people are still lying in the back, and they will never recover for a year or a half.

But the effect of this magic circle is also huge. The vanguard monsters couldn't stop the car, and a large number of demon apes and spiders were involved in this "meat grinder", turning into a pile of flesh and blood on the spot, black and white. The purple blood mixed together and soon seeped into the soil, turning into a strange color.

Even though there are high-level monsters manipulating and commanding behind, thousands of monsters on the Internet cannot conceal their biological instincts. After seeing their companions in front of them encounter an ambush and die tragically, the giant python and some magic spiders behind them stopped and turned their heads. They ran away, and then collided with the low-level monsters behind them. From the angle of the city wall, it was just right to see that the army quickly became chaotic and collapsed.

The soldiers on the city wall cheered, and some priests and mages also showed joyful expressions, but a few people, including Yannick, didn't have any smiles on their faces.

As members of the allied decision-making group in the Garter Empire, Cardinal Avery and Grand Magister Beaufoy were also quite satisfied with the results of the battle. They didn't quite understand the seriousness on the faces of the Pope and the Saint of Law.

Beaufoy asked, "Your Excellency Simon, are you worried about something?"

Simon frowned: "High-level monsters are not like low-level monsters who only know how to attack blindly. After they react, they will definitely take corresponding measures. We have to retreat from La Serena like the strategy we set before. The city of San Mar is used as a frontline preparation, and it may not be able to defend here."

Biufoy obviously didn't believe it: "The monster still has to allocate troops to attack Charlemagne and Santos. How can they withstand such consumption?"

But it turns out Simon was right.

Half a day later, when those reckless low-level monsters stopped trying to use their bodies to test the strength of the magic circle, those undead puppets came on the stage.

Thousands of undead rushed over from a distance, and moved towards the direction of the magic circle at an inflexible speed. Batch after batch of undead were twisted into pieces by the magic circle, but there were always new ones filling up behind them. They are unconscious and never tire, they just repeat one action mechanically, that is to move forward.

The corpses piled up in the magic circle soon turned into a considerable hill, but this shocking scene continued.

Only then did Beaufoy know what Simon meant.

No matter how powerful the magic circle is, its magic power is limited. When these undead are sent to the magic circle to die one by one as cannon fodder, the magic power of the magic circle is also being consumed at a slow speed. Judging from the number of undead that can be refined in the future, there are more than enough undead to serve as cannon fodder. In a few days, when the magic power of the magic circle is exhausted, La Serena will no longer be able to block the monsters, and the allied forces will start Entered melee mode.

Beaufoy worried: "Is La Serena really going to give up?"

"Yes, we originally planned to give up coming to Serena. Now this plan has not changed. For us, the more monsters the magic circle can consume, the better." It was Yannick who answered him. For one thing, all of them have never been to the top of the city, and have been observing the situation here.

As a mage, Beaufoy has no ill feeling towards the new pope. To be honest, if the Holy See hadn't done too much to kill the mages before, his impression of Yannick might be even better.Now, after Yannick has taken a series of measures, including "guaranteeing that every mage on the front line can receive individual treatment from a priest", he has successfully won the favor of many mages, making them no longer resist the decision of the Allies There are priests in the regiment.

"Your Majesty, this place is really too dangerous. You'd better set off for the city of San Mar as soon as possible. We will hold on here until the moment of final retreat comes!" Afuri advised.

"Don't worry about this!" It was a woman who spoke, her name was Dilia, she was one of the elders of the Dragon Clan, and she was also a member of the decision-making group. "Even if the monsters attack the city now, I can take all of you away!"

"Once the magic circle is broken, the elf's bow and arrow will be the best gift to meet these garbage!" Elf Emily laughed murderously. She was sent here with hundreds of elves, facing those hateful monsters in the distance, her hands were already itchy.

"I'm relieved to have you here." Yannick nodded with a smile, "But Sir Simon and I are not here to supervise you, because we are going to the dark forest."

"What?!" Avery and Beaufoy exclaimed at the same time.

The former objected immediately: "No, Your Majesty, this is too dangerous!"

"Don't worry, Avery," Yannick comforted him, "I didn't go alone, Lord Simon, and Lord Chris, as well as His Excellency Prince of Blood, His Majesty Queen of the Elf, and His Excellency Gremma in the Charlemagne Empire. , we will go together.”

It was the first time Avery heard Yannick talk about this plan. Before that, he came here with other members of the Allied Forces, and then he assisted day and night in the construction of the giant magic defense array. The Allied Forces were all temporary from different classes. Combined together, there are priests, mages, and even rebellious vampires, and willful dragons, etc. In order to coordinate the spirit of unity and cooperation of these people, Avery and Beaufoy almost died of exhaustion. Fortunately, the two of them had a tacit understanding. With their full cooperation, the fighting power of the allied forces gradually revealed, and they completed the giant magic circle before the monsters attacked La Serena.

Now the civilians in La Serena have begun to evacuate gradually, probably tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, all of them will be evacuated. At that time, Avery will lead the allied forces to the city of Santa Mar to continue to command the next battle, and Beaufoy will take The other part of the remaining people seized the time to create various traps in the city to slow down the monster's attack. As long as there are dragons around, they don't worry about being too late to retreat.

In the Charlemagne Empire and the Santos Empire, similar scenarios are also happening. The civilians panic and panic, and their confidence is gradually losing, while the Allies are fighting against the monsters as fast as they can. They don't know how many monsters there are. , can only be dealt with by the strategy of exchanging space for time.

Yannick did not hold any position in the decision-making level of the three-way front, but he was busier than anyone else. In just two days, he had already inspected the frontline situation of two countries through the magic circle, and was talking to Chris, Simon, etc. After discussing with others, they finally came to a conclusion that to deal with monsters, it is far from enough to face them head-on.

The cracks in the plane that have been completely torn open, the mess left by the old pope, someone will eventually clean up.

It is the duty of every generation of Pope to fill up the cracks, and the price in exchange is the reduction of the Pope's lifespan. The old Pope didn't touch the cracks, so he lived as an old goblin, but now that the monsters are present, it is impossible for Yannick and Vaserich to return Turning a blind eye to this, the former Pope Vansherich was still alive, and the two Popes added up. The two decided that they had to repair the crack no matter what. This was the most fundamental way to deal with the current monster crisis.

If there are monsters on the other side of the monster plane, it just happens to completely block the gap between the two planes. If the whole army has been dispatched on the monster plane, then they have to go around to the back and get rid of the high-level monsters that manipulate everything first. The monster army of high-level monsters is just a group of rabble with no force value but no wisdom value, and it will be much easier to deal with it then.

After listening to Yannick's reasons, Avery could no longer raise any objection reasons, but he was still full of worry. Everyone knew how dangerous this trip was.

Simon chuckled, and patted Avery on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I will take good care of your Majesty and bring you back intact." However, he winked again, "But in fact, I don't need me, he still has two A flower protector, isn't he?"

Ai Fuli twitched his eyelids, did not answer his words, but knelt down on one knee, took the hand of the silver-haired Pope, pressed his forehead to it, and solemnly said: "Your Majesty, please return safely!"

"You too, Avery, I look forward to the day when we join hands in victory!" Yannick held his hand tightly, allowing the temperature from the archbishop's forehead to pass to the back of his hand.
