Will Sophia know that strange behavior is happening in the Li family, or will the escaped Athena pass the news back through the church's communication network.
All the supplies were sent to the front line in one go, and there was a well-equipped army.
There could be no other reason than attacking.
When Sophia got the news about Athena, she immediately told Lorne through the meat ball, but having the means of rapid communication did not mean that Lorne would be able to arrive in time.
With such a cumbersome thing like an artillery piece, even if it were to transform people, it would not be able to speed up at all.
However, the first batch of reinforcements had arrived long ago.
With ten artillery pieces and the capture from the Li family, it was enough for Sophia to hold on until he arrived.
Lorne's intention was to let the woman support herself for a while.
Anyway, according to the information Asina received, this time the Li family did not count as a full-scale attack.
Moreover, their weapons and ammunition are not sufficient.
As long as they delay for a while, even if Lorne does not arrive at the Li family, they will retreat due to lack of sufficient ammunition.
After listening to Lorne's careful explanation, Sophia also felt that it made sense.
The strength of the heretics relies on their advanced weapons.
If they don't have enough logistics to ensure the use of their weapons, they will never take the risk of occupying the imperial capital.
So, just like Lorne said.
She only needs to hold on for a few days, and when the heretics consume more than expected, they will leave voluntarily.
At that time, Sophia can announce that she successfully repelled the heretic invasion.
The woman had a beautiful idea.
If the Li family's attack this time really only had one A-level division plus a bunch of B- and C-level divisions, then Sophia could indeed rely on consumption and delay until the Li family couldn't bear it anymore.
Without enough ammunition, it was impossible for the Li family to launch an overwhelming attack.
There is no need to even change the existing defense line, and Sophia is confident that it can be delayed until the Li family retreats due to lack of sufficient supplies.
The best thing is that Keira doesn't know what she is up to.
The heretics are already about to attack, but the Pope is still missing.
But with Lorne on the way, Sophia wasn't worried about Keira's plot.
So many days have passed, and the cathedral continues to exude the smell of holy light.
It looks good, but it has no other effect, and it is only good-looking after all.
Even if Keira couldn't come out, Sophia would be happy to take all the credit on herself.
After repelling the Li family's attack, I believe that without Sophia having to do anything, the nobles in the imperial capital will spontaneously ask Keira to step down and replace her.
For example, now, after the heretic invasion was announced, Sofia took advantage of Keira's absence to attack Carmen.
"Paladin Carmen, what is wrong with our Pope?
The scouts have confirmed the movements of the heretics, and they are about to attack us.
As the Pope, shouldn't Keira put down what she is doing and come to discuss with us?
" "Yes, Pope Keira is making fun of our entire empire."
After Sophia finished speaking, someone immediately picked up.
This is the woman's recent achievement.
As an outsider from the north, she already has her own supporters in the imperial capital.
It had been almost a month since Keira disappeared.
For such a long time, Carmen was also very worried, not to mention that Sofia and the nobles of the imperial capital had issues.
If it weren't for the fact that the holy light in the secret room was still dense and the cathedral was always filled with the substantial holy light, she would have rushed in to find Keira.
But the broken Holy Grail represents more than just Keira's hope.
She didn't dare to disturb the process.
Carmen just strictly blocked the news and took all the responsibilities that belonged to Keira on her shoulders.
"The Pope is praying to the Virgin.
Now is an important moment.
The Virgin has also begun to respond to the Pope.

The holy light on the cathedral is proof of this."
If it weren't for the miraculous holy light outside the cathedral, the nobles would have rushed in long after Keira disappeared.
It's just that Carmen used Sophia's usual tricks to deceive people, but the bishop was the first to not buy it.
"Heretics are already coming to kill the followers of Our Lady.
Is Pope Keira still praying to Our Lady to convert the heretics?
This is a little too inappropriate, and I don't think heretics equipped with a large number of weapons are here to receive the Holy Light.
Baptized Believer.
If the Pope doesn't have the confidence to defeat those heretics, why not let me do it for him.
We can no longer retreat in the face of those greedy heretics."
Without the defensive line of the imperial capital, it would be impossible to block the heresy's attack from behind.
Sophia expressed the sentiments of the nobles present, especially those whose territories were behind the imperial capital's defense lines.
These people were very active.
"Yes, we can't retreat.
We have to teach those heretics a lesson.
With Bishop Sophia's holy flame and the army from the north, we will definitely be able to defeat those heretics."
Lorne's reinforcements had just arrived some time ago, which also gave them confidence.
Besides, Sophia had already told them that Lorne was on the way, and no one would mention negotiating with the heretics at this time.
Carmen had no helpers and had not stood in front of the stage for many years.
The helpless Paladin could only watch as Sophia took all the power in her hands.
In fact, even if there were no nobles to help, Carmen would have no reason to oppose Sophia taking over the military power.
You must know that among everyone present, only Sophia had a glorious victory against the heretics.
Moreover, the bishop was responsible for reorganizing and training the private soldiers of the nobles.
After receiving reinforcements from Lorne, women were already the most powerful force among all people.
It was reasonable for Sophia to take the lead.
Kayla's absence could, to a certain extent, avoid unnecessary disputes.
Only this time, if Sophia really repelled the heretic attack, Carmen was worried about how the church would deal with it next.
With no news from Keira, she had no way to make a decision to negotiate with the heretics.
And on Natalie's side, they had to take a long detour to avoid being pursued by the heretics.
If the paladin leader is here, maybe Carmen can try to ask Natalie to replace Keira to reshuffle the church and find a way to break through the predicament.
It's a pity that Carmen is just a retired old paladin, and Carmen has completely become a decoration under Sophia's command.
Even when arranging various lines of defense, Carmen did not have much say.
In order to prevent the church's people from making any outstanding performance in this defense, Sophia directly took Carmen with her and faced the main attack direction of the heretic army with her
