At the same time, in the city of Rodiyek, the capital of the Yar-Kley province in the western region of the Duchy of Tiling, there was also a huge team slowly advancing along the main road, but they were heading to the east.

"Logistics officer! Logistics officer! Why did the forage troops go so slowly!?"

"Captain of the Fordeli Legion! The Deputy Legion Commander asked you if you have something to do!"

"The back team will go quickly! Why didn't you eat?"

Compared with the orderly and uniformity of the Death Legion, the team of the Church of Light seemed a bit chaotic and lively. Although the church gathered many elite knights and hermitages, the main source of soldiers of the large army was collected from all over the country, and the civilian crusaders composed of fanatics.

So it is inevitable that the quality of the soldiers seems a bit uneven, and the marching speed is also fast and slow, which makes almost no team that stretches for several kilometers accompanied by the rebukes of officers.

As the church was moving forward, not only did the farming farmers and walking passers-by around them did not avoid them, but also gathered around them, seeing them interestingly, while crossing them on their chests and praying. Many farmers even offered some food and water to passers-by. Although many people usually hate the various actions of the church, the thousand-year-old theocratic rule has deeply engraved the cross-sun pattern into the bones of the people in every human kingdom. From the baptism of birth, to the marriage of adulthood, to the grave of death, everyone's life has been completely connected with the church. A thousand years of time has made this connection almost indestructible.

Therefore, even if the church has any problems, in the hearts of most human people, the cross cannot be replaced by anything, especially when the church puts out the slogan of "fighting for the light", any Light believer will inevitably be excited, and the more ignorant the group is, the more likely it is to be aroused. Therefore, the enthusiasm of these farmers is easy to understand.

"Martyr Barrit, the 9th, 12th, and 21st Legion of the Crusaders in the Vitfari Province, the Holy Cross Volunteer Legion, and the White Cloud Cultivator have arrived in Kachinfes City a few days ago (about 100 kilometers from the City of Learning). The city defenders did not resist. Now General Bodon is stationed in the city, waiting for the next order."

"Yeah, then..."

Barrit Franklin, a church marshal who has been through war and has made great achievements and has always been known for his steadiness. He started as an ordinary paladin and experienced thousands of battles of all sizes. Although his strength is not extremely strong, his command art has few rivals in the church.

He has been stationed in the Principality of Wild Wolf for many years and has fought with the fierce orc plundering legion many times, and can basically achieve an amazing record of nine out of ten battles. It can be regarded as one of the most famous generals in Yashan at present. Therefore, it is precisely because of this that the Pope appointed him, who is over 60 years old, to replace the Apocalypse Knights who are not good at marching and fighting to command the army. After all, the Apocalypse Knight's real task is to suppress and hunt down those high-level demons who occasionally run into the human kingdom, rather than command large-scale legion battles.

“…… Where has Galtu brought the team to the Kettle province?”

He nodded slightly, wearing gorgeous silver armor, riding a sun-burning horse with a slightly golden light all over his body. The old paladin with a white beard turned his head to the other side, where a paladin riding a brown war horse was lowering his head to look at the information in his hand...

"Report to the Marshal, two days ago, General Galtu had led the Fourth, Ninth, Fifteenth Crusades, the Califorda Knights, the Sky Falcons, and the Ulan Anthem Society to the Crow Forest, but was then blocked by the Tiling Rebellion Army (another slogan of the church, assisting the Grand Duke of Tiling to eliminate the "disruptive soldiers". General Galtu is now working hard to suppress it, and it is estimated that he can advance to the town of Fayolkran (a major town in the southwest of the Xueshi City, about 80 kilometers away from the city) in the latest two days."

"Well, order Galtu to be careful when moving forward, and those who are pious about faith but are ensnared to participate in the rebellion must be tolerant and kind."

"Abide by the order!"

"In this way, the legions of the Loss and Kalinin provinces should also set out... What should the undead be like? Gansimona should also adopt the strategy of spreading the entire line, advancing layer by layer, and finally joining forces, right?"

"certainly……"

Just as Barrit was pondering, a blurry black figure suddenly appeared next to him, so he immediately pulled the reins and stopped moving forward.

"How is the situation?"

At this time, on the right side of Barritt, the stand suddenly appeared was a person wearing a gray suit, his mouth and nose covered with an iron cover with a cross-breathable groove, and exposed his eyes to the air with only a pair of shining eyes.

And this person is from the church's special intelligence agency [Eclipse]. Each of them has been trained since childhood. It is said that the instructors even masters from the dark elves. While training in the most cruel training method, they also instill in the various creeds and doctrines of the Dragon of Light every day...

Therefore, assassins who come out of this method not only have superb lurking and assassination skills, but also have extremely fanatical beliefs, which is something that most assassins do not have.

"According to the intelligence spying on the front line team and the information provided by the informant, the action of the undead side was the same as the Marshal you had expected before... A few days ago, Gan Simmona, the commander of the undead army, ordered the undead army in several provinces under his control, to set off on the entire line and divide it into four armies to rush towards the defense line built by Tiling. Now the fastest troops have advanced to the forefront of Fort Alex, which is only 80 kilometers away from the Xueshi City."

"Very good! I'm afraid that the old zombie won't dare to press on the whole line! Since it dares to come, then..."

Barritt knew that he could not say much, so he just hummed happily and stopped quickly. The spy also gave a tactful salute and slowly disappeared from the spot.

"Marson, are we going to fight the Dead Legion in the City of Learning?"

Hearing the words of a staff officer beside him, Barritt stroked his beard with a smile, and then smiled half true and half falsely:

"Haha, the other party has gathered the army to Xueshi City. If we don't go, wouldn't we give up the city Tiling?"

"But the marshal... our army does not have an absolute advantage in its military strength. If we rashly engage in the main decisive battle, we may not have a high chance of winning. In addition, Tiling did not express any support for anyone, if they turn to the undead..."

"Haha, then what do you think?"

"My subordinates think that our army should send a team of light cavalry to quickly arrive at Xueshi City to see the attitude of the Grand Duke Tiling. If the other party supports our army, then the main force will win the decisive battle. If the other party supports the undead, then our army must not fight the enemy in a decisive battle. If the other party is neutral... Then our army can send several legions to Xueshi City to fight against the undead, delay the opponent's offensive, and then send several elite knights around the rear of the enemy. The enemy will be in full swing, and the rear will definitely be empty. As long as the opponent's retreat can be cut off and the main force will be able to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!"

"Haha, very good! Tolyar, you have grown very fast recently. I think it will take me a long time to lead the army alone. I am very pleased."

Seeing Barrit admiring himself with a smile on his face, the average-looking knight, who was even a little rustic, blushed and then touched his nose embarrassedly.

"Old, the teacher praised it...I just, just..."

"Haha, you are pretty good among young people, and the rarest thing is that you are still a Skywalker...but you still missed a few points."

"Please correct me by the teacher."

When he heard his teacher's words, the player knight immediately looked at his teacher seriously. At this time, he actually developed the style of a leading general.

"First of all, Toryar, have you ever thought about what if those armies did not withstand the fierce attack of the undead army and led to the loss of the city of Xueshi?"

"As long as the back road is broken, I think the undead army will be trapped in the lonely city..."

"No, no, no, you are wrong with this. The army of undead is different from the human army. They have the lowest demand for supplies. Even if you are trapped in the lonely city, you don't have to worry about food at all. Moreover, you know the terrain of Tiling. The entire principality is almost flat, and only the city of knowledge is a condescending place. Once the army of undead occupys this city, its army can bloom everywhere like mercury at any time. Not only will it not fall into the defensive situation, but it will take the initiative. Therefore, no matter how many cities you occupy in the end, it is useless. Only one city of knowledge will make the entire Tiling be in control."

"this……"

"Also, now the entire Tiling is in a state of waiting and watching. Once we lose the City of Learning, the entire Principality will immediately turn to the dead. Politically, the church will fall into a great passiveness, and the church will also lose its reputation. This is the result that the Pope cannot accept, so the City of Learning must be taken down."

"politics……"

"Last point, as Helez's country is growing, its ambitions and appetite are getting bigger and bigger. Today they get a city, and tomorrow they want one country. After one country succeeds, another country will be another country. If this continues, there will be no end. Therefore, the church must give the dead a severe lesson, let them take their claws back and stay honestly in their own country that is no longer visible to the sun. Now the countries of mankind are in storm and wars are everywhere. The church must turn the entire Tiling into a fortress of the bright world to ensure the safety of the entire human race, and at the same time it can also have a certain deterrent effect on the chaos in the Bull Principality."

"I see……"

After nodding suddenly, Tolyaer suddenly thought of something again, frowned suddenly, and whispered in confusion:

"...But teacher, what if the undead is cheating, not trying to conquer knowledge, but want to use surprise troops to raid our flanks?"

"You can rest assured that Gansimona's situation is the same as ours. He must also win the Xueshi City, and it should even be more anxious than us. After all, the people in the Principality are still on our side. Once the Xueshi City is in the hands of light, the people who have fallen into the occupied areas of the undead will immediately rise and resist spontaneously, and they will have to retreat to Heles anyway."

"But teacher... With the current strength, can our army defeat the undead?"

"Defeat? No, no, I'm not going to defeat the undead."

"That's to..."

Barrit smiled faintly, then suddenly grabbed his right palm wearing iron gloves and said in a deep voice:

"This time we are going to completely eat the army of 200,000 undeads! And those chaotic troops who betray the light! Only in this way can we completely destroy the thoughts of the undead and declare the power of our light!"

"What!!!!!"

Tolyar's exclamation immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers around him. He immediately covered his mouth, and then whispered in horror:

"But, but teacher... our army is not much more than the undead. It may be possible to defeat them, but it must be annihilated... and we must also include the defenders of Xueshi City, this... "

"Hahaha, you don't have to worry about Tolyar. You have prepared for your teacher. This plan is the plan that is within the plan."

"But the number of our army..."

"Well, do you remember Thoryar..."
