Retreating again and again has become a taboo for the army.
Even if there was enough camp behind to serve as a buffer, it would be difficult for Sophia to turn the tide.
Her only hope is that the heresy's ammunition supply cannot keep up first.
Unfortunately, this is just Sophia's dream.
Although the Li family's weapons and ammunition were insufficient, every time Sophia did not persist to the end, their consumption was not as serious as imagined.
According to this trend, it will definitely not be a problem to fight all the way to the imperial capital.
However, this is only theoretical data.
In actual reference to various values such as morale, the amount of ammunition consumed is actually even more economical.
When Sophia held her meeting in the third camp and mentioned that she would use continuous retreat to lure the heresy deeper, she was immediately opposed.
Moreover, the person who opposed her was Sophia's own person, Vincent, who always acted as the rearguard.
"Bishop Sophia, we have retreated twice in succession without achieving any results.
If we continue to retreat, the soldiers will not be able to muster the courage to fight.
If we really get to the imperial capital, I will definitely not be able to wait for the army from the north, and we will have already lost it."
Vincent was not being alarmist, and what he said was not unpleasant, because Carmen, who was even more unpleasant, would follow.
"Because we retreated again and again, other camps did not continue to hold on.
If we retreat here again, we will have to face more than just the enemies in front of us later.
Without friendly troops on the side to help us defend ourselves, Bishop Sophia will directly become a prisoner of the heretics next time.
After being insulted by those barbaric heretics, do you think your saints will still want you?"
From the mouth of a paladin to say such ugly words, it seems that Carmen is indeed very angry.
And she did have a reason to be angry, because every time Sophia chose the rear troops, it was more or less related to the cathedral.
This inevitably made Carmen think that Sophia was deliberately consuming them, but in fact, the bishop really had no way to deal with the heresy of the Li family ancestor who added cannons and guns.
Even if the reformer were to charge forward, she would definitely not have much success.
During this time, she also asked Vincent and other nobles to look for flaws in the heresy.
They had no idea when facing the heresy's orderly and orderly army.
It's a pity that Meatball is still cultivating the wizard's origin, otherwise Sophia would have asked Lorne for help.
Fortunately, although Sophia is not good at war, she knows how to cover up her embarrassment.
Pretending to examine the current situation on the map, the woman who still refused to put all the modified people on the map said: "The situation is indeed not optimistic, but the benefits of not having full contact with the heretics are also obvious.
First of all, our soldiers did not suffer too many losses, which ensured that we had the power to fight back.
And because we kept retreating, those heretics must despise us very much."
Not to mention the heretics who despised them, many nobles began to have objections after they retreated one after another.
What they hoped was that Sophia would lead them to win the battle, but as a result, the situation took a turn for the worse after the Bishop's specialty was blocked.
If it weren't for the fact that there was Lorne behind Sophia, maybe someone would have questioned whether the bishop would be able to command.
It was inconvenient for others to correct the mistakes in Sophia's ideas.
Only Vincent was responsible for this task.
"But the problem now is that the soldiers don't have much morale anymore.
Continuing to retreat will only make them more frustrated.
After arriving in the imperial capital, I'm worried that many people will abandon their weapons and run home to wait for it to be over."
Morale has always been a metaphysical thing in Sophia's opinion.
She can't understand the difference between morale and combat effectiveness.
But after following Lorne for a long time, the woman also developed a set of crooked ideas.
"This is the last time.
I found that the defense of the camp has no effect on the wizards.
Instead of staying here and being consumed by the heretics, it is better to retreat directly to the imperial capital.
The walls there are strong enough to withstand the sorcery of the wizards.
With the height of the walls, our artillery will be able to exceed the range of the heretics.

If they come after us, we will attack them in turn."
The reason why Keira built so many defensive camps outside the imperial capital was to prevent heretics from approaching the imperial capital.
Because no enemy has ever come close since the founding of the Empire.
Once heretics are allowed to attack the walls of the imperial capital, the person who directs the battle will definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame.
Fortunately for Sophia, she gave up all the outlying camps so easily.
Defending the Imperial Capital, hadn't she thought about what would happen if an accident occurred and failed?
Moreover, there were still many civilians outside the Imperial Capital.
If they retreated into the walls of the Imperial Capital, what would happen to those civilians?
After so many years of development, the population outside the imperial capital has exceeded that inside.
It is simply unrealistic to let them all in, and the imperial capital cannot bear so many people.
As a native of the Imperial Capital, Carmen asked Sophia straightforwardly: "The walls of the Imperial Capital can only accommodate a population of one million people at most.
And there are this number of civilians outside the city wall.
Depending on your decision, at least hundreds of thousands of people will become captives of heretics.
Bishop Sophia, is it your responsibility?"
To be honest, Sophia is not worried about being responsible at all.
Because in the future, either heretics will occupy the imperial capital, and by then, she will definitely have fled back to the north.
Carmen asked her to take charge, and at least she had to be found.
And if the heretics fail to occupy the imperial capital, Lorn will only be in control.
That man doesn't care about the common people and thinks about changing dynasties, and he won't care about what happened when the Bourbon royal family ruled.
But this kind of secret cannot be told to others, so Sophia dealt with it as if the imperial capital might be occupied by heretics.
"Those who can enter the city walls of the imperial capital will all enter, and those who cannot enter will all move north.
Paladin Carmen may not have visited outside the city for a long time.
In fact, many people there have chosen to move north.
There is so much in the north that I can write a letter to the saint and he will settle the common people. " In just one sentence, she was ready to immigrate on a large scale.
If it weren't for the incredible profession of a priest, Sophia's move would be tantamount to a waste of human life.
But as she said, according to the current situation, moving north is indeed a solution.
The imperial capital in the middle of a war could not afford so many civilians, so letting them go north would lighten the burden.
For Lorne, it's a lot of moving material.
I believe that as soon as the news about Sophia arrives, he will notify Celine to start adding food to the meat balls.
The sad thing is that no one knows Sophia's true purpose.
Although the move to the north is troublesome, it finally got the consent of everyone, including Carmen
