Chapter 544 Broken Sword (I)

(Title... I have trouble naming recently. I'll add more, maybe, I was a little tired last night adjusting my schedule.)

Late February of the fifth year.

After achieving results, the Eastern Alliance continued to attack along the planned offensive front. They knew they had more time.

They must complete internal integration before the Crusaders launch an attack, and assist the tactics of clearing the fields to slow down the advance of the enemy. Even if they divide the border with the Crusaders, they can accept it.

It only takes time and integration.

One goal.

No one can compete with the lord in development speed.

The Eastern Alliance is sure that time is on their side.

"Time is on our side."

Theresa said to the saints attending the meeting in a powerful voice.

The Holy See Crusaders' station.

Three months is enough time for an army to build a semi-permanent fortification in the white land that can resist several times the number of enemies.

But this stagnation makes the middle and lower levels of the Crusaders very dissatisfied. They have always won the "holy war" against their world through continuous attacks.

Hundred thousand soldiers.

No water, no conscription of old farmers, no conscription of peasants, fully armed 100,000 soldiers.

Light and heavy weapons are complete, as well as complete middle-level officers and middle-upper elite combat power. Very few people can withstand the first punch of their surprise attack.

After achieving a phased victory, they will build a portal to call for support from the main world.

Then the cleansing, the cleansing, will follow.

Burn their books and replace them with canons; confiscate the spellcasting process, drag out all spellcasters and hang them; destroy the original rule, and the managers sent by the main world take over everything in the original world from top to bottom.

Cover the ruins with the management system of the Church.

They realized early that when the number of people in a civilization is enough to support the civilization itself, they will complete the conquest of this world.

The civilization relies on reality to exist, and only bury the reality that the civilization relies on, no matter killing or erasing their civilization.

Use God's vision and hatred to drive this eternal chariot.

Then they get a world.

A world bathed in the glory of God.

As soon as they arrived in this world, this normal cycle was interrupted. The chariots of the vanguard army were forced to stop in place by a decree from the top.

The war field paladin in charge of this expedition suppressed the anger of his saints and believers by himself, and ordered them to start building fortifications on the spot and build portals to wait for support from the main world.

"Sister Theresa, my troops are here to fulfill the glory of God."

The leaders of the Crusaders and officers protested. Once the portal was opened, their military exploits would end.

War is the fastest promotion path for civilians. For civilians without assets, if they perform well in the war, they may be promoted to low-level believers with church positions immediately.

The Church monopolizes all extraordinary powers. The mortal auxiliary army hopes to become believers through war, and those who are granted extraordinary powers will make a wrong choice whether to continue the war or return home.

The priests have more power, more resources, and even more money.

The evaluation method of military merit is completely different before and after the portal is opened.

After the portal is opened, the vanguard army is not as valuable as it is now... The army from the main world or through the main world will continue to pour in and occupy this world.

The dozen fortresses of the border lords look small, but if the military merit is given to 100,000 people...

Not enough.

Far from enough.

"Our scouts saw that they were still fighting among themselves. As long as we concentrate our forces, we can defeat them at once. This is definitely the best time to launch an attack!"

The person in charge of the Crusaders and officers continued.

There is no decision-making power. The decision-making power of the army is completely in the hands of the monks of the Holy See. Only those who are a member of the Holy See can be regarded as management.

Maybe it's stupid, maybe it's inefficient, but the Church firmly controls the army in its own hands through this method.

Failure is tolerable, and they have enough resources to fill the gaps of mistakes.

But betrayal is intolerable.

"Please go back and tell your troops that this is the order of the holy warriors, stationed in your defense zone and waiting for new new orders." Theresa said in a stern tone: "I want to say this order again."

The meeting ended.

Theresa, the hound sister, sighed, her eyes fell on the golden dome, and then looked at the lord who was listening to the meeting.

"Hey, you, do you know where these things come from?" She raised the floating stone in her hand.

The crusaders of the Church found some floating stone fragments that had not been transferred in time in the warehouse of the lord. They guessed that the floating stone was mainly produced by the floating stone island floating in the sky.

If you want to reach the island in the sky, you must wait for the portal to send the warship over.

The castle of the group of people on the ground has floating stones, which means they must have a way to obtain floating stones.

Then the Crusaders dug three feet into the ground but did not find the veins of floating stones.

The low-level lords looked at each other. They, the marginal lords, were not qualified to contact the production and acquisition of floating stones, but they also knew a little bit.

Only the lords who controlled the island under the sky were qualified to talk about the acquisition of floating stones.

The price of floating stones has also increased as more and more lords have been promoted to the fourth level and can make better use of this rare mineral resource.

Only a handful of worlds produce floating stones, and demand is growing exponentially.

Then collect the animal carcasses that fell from the sky and refine their bones to obtain a large amount of floating stone. The yield is very low... and it depends on luck.

People from the Holy See asked, and the low-level lords who had surrendered would also take the initiative to say so.

Apart from the necessary communication, the surrendered lords and the arriving crusaders seemed to be two parallel lines.

The people at the middle and lower levels just want to get in touch with these dead guys. The reputation of the lords has become almost the same as that of the abyss demons. This atmosphere has even begun to gradually affect the middle-level monks.

Is this kind of mortal thing really the same kind as us?

Since the lords are still competing with them for military merits, these crusaders are even more excited to see the lords. If they have more military merits, why are you still grabbing them?

The paladins and some monks felt that these lords' resources were worthy of utilization, and they had long been hacked to death by the Crusaders in the name of heretics and demons.

Teresa was considered to be the better party to the lords. She asked, and the low-level lords answered for her.

"Hmm...Is this how you got the floating stone...I understand."

She grinned, and there was something in her heart.
