Sure enough, a few days later, the new Metropolis of Junhui City and the Bishop of Flynn here hurried to the Lord's Castle and asked to meet Owen.Entering the office, the Metropolitan and Bishop Flynn saw Owen and greeted him respectfully: "Greetings, Your Majesty. ”"Hmm."
Owen nodded and asked knowingly, "Metropolis, I heard that you just arrived in Dawn City this morning, and you are in such a hurry to see me, I wonder what is so urgent?"
”"That's right, Your Majesty."
The Metropolitan didn't say any more polite words and went straight to the point."
I already know about the war that happened on the Dragon's Tooth Ridge, and I heard that you plan to join forces with the Fagaran Alliance to go to the Popon Empire, but is this the case?"
The Dawnlight Kingdom has just reached a preliminary agreement with the Fagalan Alliance, and has unanimously decided to formally declare war on the Popan Empire next spring, and then send troops directly.Given that Owen had already announced his fateful decision to go to the Popang Empire within the City Hall, it was inevitable that there would be rumors of leaks.Presumably, the Holy Church of Caleb also learned about this, so they sent someone to inquire."
That's right."
Owen frankly admitted: "It was the Popon Empire that unilaterally declared war on our country first, and our country was forced to choose to join forces with the Fagaran Alliance to jointly deal with the wanton expansion of the Empire. ”"I see."
After confirming this, the Metropolitan continued: "Actually, the Pope is not dissatisfied with the decision made by His Majesty, but is very supportive.I believe Your Majesty should have heard the rumors about the New Holy Religion on the side of the Popon Empire, right?
”"I've heard a little."
Owen responded."
That's easy to say."
The Metropolitan then explained to Owen and conveyed the Pope's intentions."
The so-called Neo-Holy Religion is actually a new religion founded by the extremists of the Lumichals, advocating the complete elimination of vampires and subhuman races, which is not only incompatible with the new doctrine of peace, but also contrary to the policies you implemented in the Kingdom of Dawnlight."
This should have been an internal affair of the Church, but the Popang Empire immediately announced its support for the New Holy Church and severed relations with the Lumichalian Sect.Considering that the Holy Church of Caleb is unable to deal with both the Protestant Cult and the Popon Empire, our Pope hopes to join forces with your country to jointly send troops to the Popan Empire, and also facilitate our disposal of the Protestant Cult extremists. ”New and old school is a term used internally by the church, and the new school people in power generally refer to the old school as extremists externally.In the same way, the old school calls the new school a heretic."
Well......"
After pretending to ponder for a while, Owen nodded and agreed: "It's okay, anyway, I don't like the idea of the New Holy Religion, it's too extreme, I agree to join forces with your country." ”"That's great."
The Metropolitan smiled happily, "Then let's continue to discuss the cooperation between the two countries in detail." ”"No problem, let's continue the conversation in another place."
At Owen's request, the meeting was moved to a reception room, where everyone sat down and talked face-to-face.It was finally decided that the Council of Caleb would send a regular army of 2,500 men, a Templar Order of 450 men, and a 50-strong Pegasus Knights force of 50 men next spring, a total of 3,000 men, to join the army of the Dawnlight Kingdom to attack the Popang Empire.The commander of this army was none other than Orr Thorning, the head of the Knights Templar.In other words, after the head of the Thofen Fortress resisted the southern invasion of the undead monsters in the Red Sand Fortress, he would go directly to Longya Ridge to lead the army.As for the Templars supporting the Red Sand Fortress, they were not part of the expedition, and the Templars were another force of the Holy Church of Caleb.In this way, the religious dispute became part of this coming war.…… On the night that the Metropolitan left Auroville, the snow-white elves danced quietly in the air, and the first snow of the winter finally fell.This winter, the Templars did not come to Auroville's aid, and all went to the Red Sand Fortress.After all, the battle on the side of the Red Sand Fortress is more intense and more manpowered, and Dawn City already has the power to deal with the undead on its own, and it doesn't need the support of the Templars.Early the next morning, the KPA went on high alert.The soldiers stepped up to clear the snow, patrolled the northern wall more often, Winnie got dressed and flew north for reconnaissance missions, and the other soldiers were ready for battle.As is customary, the first wave of undead attacks will occur after the first heavy snowfall.As a result, until dusk, the KPA did not see the undead monsters.Winnie also conducted several reconnaissance flights north, reporting by radiophone that no trace of the enemy had been found.Odd?!
It stands to reason that the undead monsters should have attacked a long time ago, why haven't they appeared until now?
The barracks area north of Dawn City, the central marquee.Receiving this news, Owen frowned slightly, folded his hands in front of his chin, and swept his gaze to Viscount Jarvis and the senior officers present."
The undead monster hasn't appeared until now, what do you think?""
It's good not to have to fight."
Kadir was the first to speak, "But the undead monsters that should have appeared have not appeared, which makes us very uneasy. ”"Could it be that the undead monster has not been able to break through the northern wall, and has given up because it feels hopeless?""
Indeed, the current People's Army is equipped with powerful weapons and has the firepower to easily destroy the undead monsters, perhaps because they don't want to waste their strength attacking Dawn City."
Other senior officers also voiced their opinions in turn.Seeing that Viscount Jarvis didn't say a word from beginning to end, Owen looked at him and asked, "Then what do you think?"
”Hearing this, the other officers turned their heads to look at Viscount Jarvis, waiting for the Minister of War to express their opinions.Viscount Jarvis thought for a long time before he spoke: "If the undead monsters really give up attacking Dawn City and instead focus on attacking the Red Sand Fortress, then that's it, we can increase our support for the Red Sand Fortress." ”"But I'm worried that this is a conspiracy of the Kaztus, deliberately not showing up, and suddenly launching an attack when we relaxed our nerves, catching us off guard, after all, we have always been passively defending against undead monsters, and the initiative is not in our hands."
Indeed, even if the undead monster does not appear, it cannot let down its vigilance.Thinking of this, Owen immediately instructed everyone to strengthen the patrol of the northern city wall tonight, in case of a possible night attack by the undead monsters.For the rest of the night, Owen spent the night in doubt and unease, and the undead monsters did not launch a night attack until the end.The undead monster didn't attack Dawn City this winter, this must be the Kaz disciple behind the ghost, I don't know what he wants to do, it's really unpredictable.Early the next morning, Owen received the first battle report from the Red Sand Fortress, with one sentence - there was no fighting yesterday.It turns out that not only Dawn City, but even the Red Sand Fortress has not been invaded by the undead monsters to the south, what the hell is going on?.
