Chapter 441 On the Twentieth Day of the Expedition
"Black Gravel Fortress", "Lossad City" and "Storm City".
Abert gave the directions of these three expeditions. Luo Xiu sat upright on the main seat, closed his eyes and listened, thinking about other things in his mind.
Before embarking on the sacred expedition, Lord Gowan had met with Abert and Rossau, and at that time he had agreed to arrive in Favna on the expeditionary army of Red Maple City. Before the city, several fortresses and major cities to be captured -
There are seven fortresses and three important towns.
Fortress Cavery is counted as one, and the city of Latama is counted as one. The other two fortresses originally occupied by the Expeditionary Force were also led by the "Winter" general Lansas to lead the expeditionary force of Snold Fortress. capture.
Their targets are now four fortresses and two towns.
The "Black Gravel Fortress" is one of them. Capturing this fortress is equivalent to opening a gateway to the hinterland of Favna and even the dark Principality.
As for "Lossand City" It is not the primary target of the Expeditionary Force, and it belongs to the Resource City.
Capturing them will help the expeditionary forces to supplement military supplies, and at the same time, it will be able to better conduct military projections deeper into Favner's territory.
While thinking about this, Roshe heard Abert say at the same time: "Now, we have successfully captured the city of Latama, but we have also paid a considerable price--our Throne Knights 'Shar, the 'throw knight' of General Lansas in 'winter' has died for the supreme' on the battlefield.
A 'priest' of the church, Lan Dimir also died of disaster. In addition to them, thirty-six "Knights of the Imperial Guards", seven "Auxiliary Sacrifices", two hundred and thirty-eight "Knights of the War", and forty-two Saints There are 23,000 soldiers who have also sacrificed their lives for this.
In order to defeat our common enemy and to realize our ultimate long-term vision, we have sacrificed too much. ”
“…”
After a pause, Albert continued: "But we have no more time to remember or sad. We must carry the burden--"
"Now, place it in There are three choices in front of us. "
"'Black Gravel Fortress' - If we want to reach Favna City in the shortest time, we must capture this fortress. There are two fortresses The two prisoners of the executioner - [Red Lotus] and [Nons] are stationed. We can first choose to capture it to block the important hub of the entry and exit of the black army led by Favner. "
"'Lossand City' - It was a grain storage city that could be captured before reaching the Black Gravel Fortress. Lossand City is currently stationed by two prisoners. We can get a moment of rest here, And supplement our military supplies."
"'Storm City' - It was an important recruiting city for the Black Army to lead in Favner, and it was also the hub for the exchange of materials for several cities in the Favner territory. It was stationed by three prisoners and stationed troops there. The number should be more than 100,000. It is difficult to capture Storm City, but if we can successfully capture it, our marches will be unimpeded before we finally arrive in Favna City."
"So, now. "Abert's eyes swept to the people on the seat down, then looked at Rossau, Lansas and Hubert on the other three main seats, and said: "I want to hear it." Your opinions."
"..."
"Storm City."
The first sound comes from Lansas in the 'winter'.
His usual, gentle smile appeared on his face, but his eyes were cold, and he said: "I just want to kill as many of these rebels as possible and as possible. . Since 'Storm City' is one of the several nests they recruited for minions, there is no reason not to flatten it first. "
"Well, I get it." Abelt nodded.
His eyes immediately looked at Luo Xiu and asked:
"So, what about your thoughts, Luo Xiu?"
When Abert asked him, Luo Xiu was also thinking about the same thing.
In his past life memories, he, who had embarked on the trial expedition as a "commander", also arrived at the city of Storm City with the expeditionary force.
It was a strong city, the size of the city wall was no less than that of Ratama City, and it had two acropolis.
Different from Lansas's considerations, his main consideration is that although Storm City is not located in a major city that must be occupied first on the expeditionary marching route, it is easy to target Black Gravel Fortress first He was attacked by troops from Storm City, Black Gravel Fortress and another fortress.
There were no reinforcements from Fafner from the border of the empire, which was undoubtedly a dangerous situation - of course, it also necessary to consider whether the garrison troops in Storm City had long-distance marching power. Because in Luo Xiu's impression, among the three garrisoned prisoners, two of them and their corps under them were slow-moving giants. "Black Gravel Fortress." Luo Xiu said so.
He finally made the choice this way mainly for another reason-
The time left for him, or for the Church of Sina and Bishop Fabion, has been already Not much more.
When he met Bishop Fabiang for the last time, he probably estimated that Bishop Fabiang had the last three months left. He must kill the Lord of the Blood Sacrifice before this and bring back a method for Bishop Fabiang to remove the gray blood curse.
The time limit should be at the end of April or at the beginning of May. And now it is March 27, and there is only a little more than a month left before the final deadline.
It would take too long to capture Storm City first, and then go back and conquer Loss De City and Black Gravel Fortress successively, and that would take too long. Luo Xiu was not willing to do so.
If you really encounter a joint attack, to be honest, Luo Xiu will not be afraid of them now. Now, among the expeditionary army, there is one "Sixth Level of Destiny" and one "Sixth Level" and one "Sixth Level" in the ranks of the Expeditionary Force. Fate Path, three saints who entered the 5th Fate Path, plus a group of players who are at the peak of combat power and activity, there is nothing to be afraid of. "I only hope to arrive as quickly as possible and capture Favrena, and to defeat the city of Favrena, just before the 'CEO', Favrena Rochester reacted, Next.
I don't want to continue to delay time, because Lord Gowan and another 'God' are fighting against that Favner at this time, and this is what we must pay attention to before Favner returns to Favner City. , the opportunity to capture that main city at the minimum cost. "
"..."
Ro Xiu said these in a calm expression and a plain voice.
Abert was also listening to these seriously. He knew ——What is the reason why Luo Xiu was so desperate to capture Favna City.
He looked at Lansas, and the general of the 'Winter' did not give a different meaning because of the bishop. Some dissatisfaction was shown in opinions, but the light flashed slightly in the eyes.
"What about your opinion, 'Saint Deacon' Mr. Hubert?"
Abert then looked at Hubert and asked.
Hulbert did not think too much and quickly replied:
"I agree with Luo Xiu. 'If possible, give priority to the capture of Favner City', This is also the decree that Archbishop Sid told me to convey. "
The two saints in the Holy Church - the Holy Deacon and the Bishop, both advocated the capture of the Black Gravel Fortress first.
At the same time, the high-ranking people of the "three-level fate path" and "four-level fate path" on the lower seat were also discussing heatedly. In general, most of them were conquered the Black Gravel Fortress first, while the attack on Storm City was the least of them.
Now everyone is in a rush of fighting spirit, and the calls for capturing Los Angeles City to rest for a while are the lowest. What the bishop said before, the "CEO" and "Dragon of Destruction" Favner had not returned to Favner City, which is indeed an opportunity that cannot be ignored.
Abelt nodded, and he finally made a decision:
"Then, we will be the target of the expedition, the Black Gravel Fortress, in the future. We will open completely and lead to Favna's leadership. The portal deeper in the hinterland. "
"Lansas. I need you to form a pioneer and scout with your Winter Knights. The threat that may come from Storm City is still not to be ignored, I know you are eager to fight to prove it , I will give you such an opportunity."
"Yeah." A gentle smile still appeared on Lansas's face. He looked at Albert and said, "I accept it." "I will scout them. If they If it really hits, I will kill them."
"Thank you, dear 'chief'."
...
The meeting finally decided to take the "Black Gravel Fortress" as the next target of the expeditionary army.
Abert accepted Roshu's suggestion to arrive as quickly as possible and capture the city of Favner. The Expeditionary Force will set off tomorrow and March 28.
After that, Albert, Rossus, Lansas and Hubert, several high-ranking masters, formulated specific marching plans. And, combined with the threat that may come from the "hidden sage" Hoffman, he entrusted the new ally of the Golden Kingdom, the "Golden Sword Saint" Krishna Feathera, to take adequate precautions against him.
In addition to these, the meeting discussed and decided on some details. When the Expeditionary Force continued to embark on its journey, experts from the Feathera family and the Florente family of the "Golden Kingdom" will enter. , assist the expeditionary forces in the post-war inventory of Ratama City and rebuilt it into a rear-mountain city that can provide assistance and shelter.
That's all the talk about in the strategy meeting.
…
And before officially setting off and embarking on a new expedition, Luo Xiu had returned to the church's residence and died for the Battle of Latama. The priests presided over the final ceremony of sending the soul.
In a large open space specially cleaned out as a ritual ground, the bodies of Fran Dimir and a group of priests who died in the battle were placed in a clean white coffin. Their bodies were covered with soft silk woven with sun patterns.
The city of Latama, which originally belonged to the dark principality, did not have the belief in [Glory]. But in the middle of the sacrificial ground, there is still a large statue of the god in the sun - the statue of the priests of the church brought together on the divine expedition and carrying their faith.
One hundred and thirty-two holy torches with golden flames have been lit in the center, which corresponds to the number of 132 martyrs.
All the priests were present, standing solemnly behind the bishop, and Bishop Luo Xiu had held it in his hand and raised the golden scepter to the sky.
The most new ⊥小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小
He had already sent out a divine, Brahma prayer:
"—I will worship the fire, I will burn, I will worship the light."
"—The pure, pure, pure white source."
"——Let the fire of the holy torch be set off!"
"——..."
Buzz—!
One after another, the golden light burst out and spread out from the tip of the scepter in Luo Xiu's hand, making the entire space full of spiritual aura belonging to [Glory].
The spirituality belonging to [Glory] begins to flow rhythmically.
They circled in the sky and gradually diverted into one hundred and thirty-two golden ripples, rushing into the one hundred and thirty-two holy torches.
——Wow!
The burning holy fire suddenly burst out with a bright and bright light.
The priests who stood around and had their hands lightly putting out a triangle on their chests also began to pray at the same time.
They all showed sadness, and worked with their "bishop" to guide the souls of the former comrades back home-
Luo Xiu raised the scepter in his hand again, his clear voice Make the next sacred blessing: "—I will remember, I will pass on, I will witness the rise." "——The unfinished, immortal, eternal Will."
"——Let the sacred spirit return home!"
"——..."
Buzz——
The scorching holy flames among all the torches, At the same time, it began to sway violently.
Then—they went out, and they all went out.
The remaining flame light condensed into amber, beginning to rise and settle, constantly rising and settle.
And after a moment—the sixty-three pillars of light rose into the sky from the holy torch!
The golden light like a bead lingers in the light and surges straight into the sky, then falls down like a curtain, and finally drapes on the bodies of 132 martyrs of the priests.
Above the bodies of the priests, the flames floated again and ignited - burning and burning their bodies bit by bit, allowing their souls to break out of the shackles, You must ascend to the eternal kingdom of heaven.
It was not until the stone coffins were left.
Only the pure white stone surface reflects and reflects the golden light that keeps hovering in the air.
Faran Dimir, the 'priest, who originally belonged to the Miyao Institute, this gorgeous priest and the martyrs of the priests, have truly "returned home".
This is the "soul-sending ceremony".
This is one thing that the priests of the church must do before they truly embark on a new expedition.
A necessary ritual that must not be omitted, neglected, or ignored.
...
