    If you don't sing, it will be a blockbuster.

    This is the best summary of Lampard's offensive operations.

    Butija's escape from desperate situation really shocked His Majesty Hasselblad into a cold sweat. When he saw all the hundreds of thousands of beasts in hell disappear in the dark night, he tilted his body like a dehydrated patient and almost fell to the ground.  Fortunately, he held on to the city wall stacks to stabilize his body, and then issued an order in a weak voice for the soldiers to go out of the city to attack.

    When he calmed down and looked up again, he found that the three thousand Lampard reinforcements had disappeared without a trace.  Under the dark night, the giant teleportation array pulled everyone back under Lampard's Shida tree under the influence of Morpheus's "law". The mages tried their best to restore their magic power.

    After a brief reorganization, two thousand soldiers were immediately teleported again and arrived at Fording's "Pittsburgh" far to the northwest.

    When the light of the teleportation array disappeared, Morpheus saw that the city gate of Pittsburgh was wide open at this time, and the 15,000-man cavalry regiment composed of all the knights of Gilman, Fording and Lampard was heading towards the 67th of the Holy War Army.  A siege phalanx launched a mass charge, and the various enchantments cast by priest Andariel were like colorful domes in the dark night, covering almost all friendly forces.

    Same as the scene that happened in the August Empire, the combat effectiveness of these soldiers has almost doubled, and their momentum is even more terrifying.

    Lampard's cavalry, like a tsunami, became the tip of the charge - the 4,200-strong "Dark Blade Knights" all wore heavy armor and headed towards the panicked Jihadi Army in a heavy cavalry formation.  The siege team rushed forward. Under the technical research of Lampard's alchemy room, those war horses, which were also wearing heavy armor, had terrifying speed and strong endurance. More importantly, they were more than twice the size of normal war horses.  As a result, the "Dark Blade Knights" rushing at the front were like a whole team of giant knights. When they came into contact with the infantry of the Holy War Army, they were like a sickle cutting wheat, directly shaving the opponent "bald".

    The team led by Jeanne and Brown was as powerful as a rainbow, and the bright white soul energy crushed the "Judges" who tried to fight back into pieces.

    After the heavy cavalry swept through the formation, the three batches of heavy infantry regiments that followed made the final decision.  The infernal ferocious beasts rushing in the distance were unceremoniously purified by Morpheus and Joan of Arc in the same way. Therefore, the battle only lasted less than three hours before a complete victory was declared.

    In the following night of massacre, one hundred thousand "holy war troops" were completely defeated.

    And Morpheus did not have time to stay in Fording to assist in the aftermath. He directly took Joan of Arc's little hand and came to Caslandi's Budak Fortress before dawn.

    "Wedid it?"

    Joan of Arc was a little excited, not because she cooperated with Morpheus to kill an astonishing number of purgatory creatures, but because she found that everything that happened in front of her - whether it was the outcome or the process of the battle, was completely consistent with the pale face before.  The "expectation" of the big vampire.

    It can be said that Morpheus relied on Compton, a vampire with terrifying computing power, and with the support of the "Creed" intelligence system, he had already previewed all possible situations in the entire battle. What he had to do now was to follow the plan set in advance.  Just complete it step by step.

    The distribution of troops, tactical effects, and even the battle damage ratio at every location are exactly the same.  These may sound like fantasy, but no one knows that within a month, Compton sorted out more than a thousand cards of different types and continued to perform repeated deductions.  So much so that in the current plan, the "troops deployed" on each battlefield are almost accurate to single digits.

    When the scene in front of him changed again, Hegel, who was in charge of the entire war in Caslandi, had been waiting beside the teleportation array for a long time. When he saw Morpheus and Joan of Arc appearing here, he knew that the battle situation was determined, and he couldn't help but feel a little relaxed.  With a smile, he said: "Grand Consul, everything is going according to plan, without any deviation."

    "This can also be regarded as a battle that tests the strength of the soldiers. Although it has been practiced many times, the real battlefield is different after all." Morpheus nodded and walked towards the Caslandi wall not far away, "Lampard  The principality has more than one war to fight, you should understand what I mean."

    Hegel was stunned for a moment, but then showed an undisguised expression of shock - is this principality seeking more land?

    Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think that this was nonsense. Which monarch doesn't want his country to be bigger and better?

    He walked a few steps quickly to catch up with Morpheus, nodded firmly and said: "Understood!"

    Currently, this fortress belongs to Caslandi, and this country has always been at odds with Byzantium. Not to mention its weak national strength, the only commendable cavalry was massacred by Byzantium, which can be said to be completely disabled.  .  Now facing the danger of annihilation, Edward III of Byzantium actually didn't bother to care whether they were dead or alive, but Morpheus insisted on saving him, so the monarch didn't care.?Obstruction - So the Caslandi soldiers who learned the news at this time were very grateful to Lampard. If he had not had a Byzantine Duke father, Caslandi would have wanted to carve out a large territory for him.  It¡¯s better to take root in the soil.

    Although Lampard's total strength does not yet total 30,000, they are able to do so with ease as they take the absolutely elite route - because this army can gain absolute mobility advantages through the teleportation array, and it also has advantages that other armies cannot.  Comparable "final word" strength.

    It can even be said that the deterrent power displayed by Lampard's troops at this time has made the leaders of various countries who are fighting together understand the fact that the seemingly small Principality of Lampard has already stood at the pinnacle of the mainland in terms of force value.

    The battle situation at this time further proves this point. Standing on the tall city wall are three thousand Lampard longbowmen belonging to Lampard. Their range is more than 500 meters due to the bonus of the city wall. They have always maintained high-frequency shooting.  , the buzzing sound of bowstrings cutting through the air came one after another, and arrows rained down, making it almost impossible for the enemies below the city wall to move forward.

    Replaced by 5,000 longbow reserves below the city wall, Kaslandi's Budak Fortress has unleashed the most terrifying counterattack in history since the arrival of this group of longbowmen in the afternoon.  By this time, there was almost a forest of arrow shafts stuck under the city wall, making it difficult for the enemy to move forward, and corpses even filled the entire rugged rocky road.

    On the other hand, the walls of Budak Fortress did not suffer even a single attack from the opponent's trebuchets.

    As for the reason Scarlett, the consul of the "Night Watch" branch, was raising her palm slightly, letting a transformed colorful light envelope the enemy in the distance - the more than 30,000 jihadist troops who were originally preparing to attack the city were completely destroyed in the illusion.  Lost their way, even the trebuchets were thrown in the wrong direction, and the soldiers even killed each other and fought together.

    In the dark night, they seemed unable to find the exact location of Budak Fortress.

    "The battle should be over before dark." Morpheus nodded, recognizing the "Black Widow"'s ability, then stood beside her, looking extremely relaxed and said: "The good show is still to come.  .¡±

    "At this point, I have to admit - no matter who you are, being your enemy is really a sad thing."

    Scarlett joked a few words and at the same time changed the illusion being released on the battlefield. The dizzy "Jihadi Army" in the distance seemed to have suddenly seen something extremely terrifying. They howled and started to flee, while Budak  At the next moment, all the gates of the fortress' walls were opened wide. The mages teleported from Lampard began covering fire. More than 20,000 infantry and cavalry mixed troops in the fortress began to cover up the fleeing "Jihadi Army".  After transforming into a giant, Heisser led Lampard's elite infantry regiment to the front, and in the subsequent attack, he started a one-sided massacre with a crushing force

    "It will take time for the news to reach the Vatican, but I think the pope may react tomorrow afternoon or evening."

    "So, should I congratulate you Congratulations to the 'Night Watch' for finally reaching this point? Being able to confront the Vatican"

    "The Holy Seeheh, there's actually nothing to fight against," Morpheus said, and he couldn't help but laugh. His light and gentle appearance in the blurred light and shadow made Scarlett feel a little dazed, "They  He's just a lost lamb"

    "dont you agree?"

    Turning to ask Joan of Arc, the now grown-up magician nodded in understanding, and then looked at the purgatory creature that appeared again in the distant field of vision, and raised his palm

    "Of course, the unclean souls from purgatory must be redeemed."

    At this moment, Morpheus, who was very awesome, looked into the distance with a smile, and said this in a holy light.

    ?¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "These heretics will be saved by the Holy Light!"

    On the evening of November 17, one day after the war, Pope Giovanni shouted similar words to the crusaders in front of him.

    His voice gave the Jihadists extremely powerful confidence, so when the soldiers looked at the walls of Mulental, there was no longer any flinching in their eyes, but only the most complete fanaticism

    According to common sense, this kind of fanaticism may only be possessed by those who are the most persistent in their beliefs, but in fact, when Giovanni appeared on the battlefield, the aura exuding from his body already had a very different and ordinary mania.  and uneasiness.

    This invisible aura affected all the soldiers, and even made those calm sergeants become violent and bellicose.

    Ten "executioners" who followed the pope stood guard in Giovia with expressionless faces.Around him, even the soldiers who were asking for orders had to stand outside the "human wall" formed by them and kneel down to wait for the "oracle".

    After the rest and recuperation in the past few days, the continuous replenishment of troops from Isenger has allowed the "Holy War Army" that can fight at this time to reach a huge number of 200,000 - this is already the limit of the power of the Holy Gabriel Empire.  Although there are many new recruits among them who have never been on the battlefield, with this data in front of them, no matter how powerful Byzantium is, it still has to weigh its capabilities.

    But at this moment, the huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and ourselves did not give Giovanni any sense of security. Although he was sitting in the middle of the army and was protected by powerful executioners on the inside and outside, his whole body felt like  Being on the glacier, I just feel a cold air spreading from the soles of my feet, as if it is piercing into the bone marrow

    The person who gave him this feeling was none other than Morpheus, the Archduke Lampard whom he had determined a few days ago had only "little skills."

    Giovanni never thought that the army he was determined to win would be defeated so tragically and completely.  Any battle involving more than 50,000 people on this continent can be called a large-scale decisive battle, and in any critical battle in history, it has never been heard of the defenders being able to turn defeat into victory overnightor even within a few hours.

    Unfortunately, the Holy Gabriel Empire broke this record three times yesterday.

    The three front armies, with a total of 200,000 troops, were completely exhausted.  Yesterday, the Holy See was still dreaming about how to invade the land. Today, the only hope was to contact the commander whose life or death was uncertain But in the end, except for the dying Maxim, who was able to contact the Vatican, there was no news from anyone else.

    The failure without warning did not even give the Pope time to buffer his heart. The report of the attack on the army last night only made the bishops panic, but the long silence that followed seemed to restore the previous calm.  It wasn't until noon today that the intermittent messages made these old masters understand what had happened.

    "How did that happen?"

    Giovanni was lost for a long time, looking at the last and strongest part of the Holy War in front of him, and secretly made up his mind to never let the Holy See's plan to dominate the continent come to nothing!

    War drums sounded, siege equipment was pushed towards the city wall, and ladders were built one by one towards the wall stacks under the ever-increasing firepower of the city wall. The soldiers rushed towards the city head frantically, only to be hit by waves of stones and  The wood smashed down.

    Flesh and blood are splashing, human lives are like grass. Mulenthal's flesh and blood millstone seems to have started spinning again after the snow stopped, mincing human lives and squeezing the dripping blood.

    It seems that Murental can no longer withstand such an attack. The morale of the soldiers on the city wall is low. Some Jihadi soldiers have even been seen successfully jumping onto the city wall, causing a small-scale chaos

    Everything seemed to be going in the direction predicted by the Holy See two days ago, but the more this happened, the more uneasy Giovanni felt

    That damn Morpheuswhat other tricks will he have?
