The current Pope officially announced in his speech that the crisis facing all countries is the third holy war.

This is a necessary process. Only when this big crisis is called jihad can we call on people from all over the world to unite and jointly deal with the current threat.

During Owen's visit to the Holy City, various places were actively fighting against monsters.

...

The elven country Venora Council, part of the Foro Mountains within its territory, is the front line of the battle against the insect swarms.

At a glance, you can see that there are several bare hills here. The vegetation on the mountains has been eaten away by the insect swarms, and there is no trace of green.

boom!

A gunshot was heard at the foot of a certain mountain, alarming several nearby bird monsters, who flapped their wings and flew away.

A lone insect the size of an adult fell down with a sound, and a pool of dark green blood flowed out on the ground. Its six legs twitched a few times and then stopped moving.

Two elf soldiers on a reconnaissance mission came out of hiding. One of them looked up at the bare mountain ahead, and couldn't help showing an angry face.

"Damn it! Another mountaintop has been devoured by them. If they are allowed to advance into the Venola Forest where we depend for survival, it will be a disaster."

"It seems that this mountain must have been eaten clean not long ago, and the insect swarm is probably still around here." Another elf soldier said, "For safety reasons, we should go back quickly and report this to the queen.

Let's do it."

"Yeah!" The elf soldier nodded.

In the camp tent behind the battle line, the Elf Queen Igabella listened to the report of the two Elf soldiers, with an increasingly serious expression on her face.

After telling the soldiers to retreat, she raised her hand and hammered the table hard, and said angrily: "Another mountain of plants has been eaten up by the insect swarm. They are getting closer to the Venola Forest. We must repel them."

, they cannot be allowed to move forward."

"They really have to be stopped."

Elder Sheehan who was present had a solemn look on his face and stretched out his hand to stroke his beard.

"However, the bullets and artillery shells we purchased from the Kingdom of Dawn are not enough left to launch a strong offensive against the insect swarm."

Facing the offensive of the insect swarm, the elf army, which was short of ammunition, was indeed somewhat powerless.

In fact, at the beginning, the elves were still very confident.

After all, the battle with the insect swarm takes place deep in the Foro Mountains, where vegetation is dense. The elves have a very high affinity with plants and can use plant magic to assist in the battle.

However, after the battle between the two sides, the confidence of the elves was instantly shattered.

The plant magic they are proud of cannot play a big role in front of the insect swarm, because the insect swarm will eat all the plants that interfere with them without mercy, leaving nothing behind.

Not only that, those bug monsters also have strong exoskeletons, making it difficult for them to be effectively harmed by bows, arrows or plant spikes.

Those swarms of insects that eat plants are simply the nemesis of the elves.

The only thing that can harm the insect swarm is the military weapons and equipment purchased from the Kingdom of Dawn.

It is precisely because of this batch of military supplies that the elves can barely survive until today, otherwise the insect swarm would have invaded the Venola Forest.

Just when Igabella was distressed, Elle Renee hurried in from outside.

"Her Majesty the Queen!"

Kneeling down on one knee in front of Igabela, she reported: "Gu Tiers's material transport team has just arrived at the military camp, and the materials that arrived include a batch of ammunition that was urgently transferred from the Kingdom of Dawn not long ago."

"This batch of ammunition arrived just in time!"

After listening to the report, Igabela stood up from her seat excitedly, then waved her hand and issued a new order.

"Send the order, quickly distribute this batch of ammunition and prepare to counterattack the insect swarm!"

...

Fajialan Alliance, a battle is going on in a wilderness on the east bank of the Foro River.

A large wave of insects flapped their wings and flew densely across the Foro River from the air towards the camp where the army was stationed in front.

Bang!

There was a deafening blast of artillery, and a cannonball flew out from the muzzle at a very high speed and landed among the insects. Fire and black smoke rose into the sky, killing many insects in an instant.

"Report!"

After this round of artillery fire, a captain in charge of commanding the artillery ran over and reported to the commander: "We have finished firing the artillery shells."

"What?!" The commander's mouth twitched a few times, "How many rounds have been fired so far! How come they were all used up so quickly?"

"this..."

After hesitating for a while, the captain chose to reply truthfully: "In order to deal with the sea monsters that invaded the southern part of our country, the alliance leader transferred a large amount of ammunition from our side to the southern battlefield."

"Damn it!" the commander couldn't help but cursed.

In the final analysis, it is all the fault of the remaining nobles of the Popon Empire! If they had not given up their resistance, the Fajialan Alliance would not be in a situation where it was attacked from both sides.

Looking at the densely packed insect swarms in the distance, with an uncountable number, the commander raised his hand and pointed to the battlefield, then turned to question the captain.

"Tell me, how can we defeat such a large number of enemies when we are short of ammunition?"

"I don't know either."

Glancing at the swarm of insects swarming in the distance, the captain couldn't help but feel a sense of fear in his heart.

"How about... let's retreat."

"retreat?!"

The commander took a few steps forward, his eyes widened, and he almost shouted angrily in the opponent's face: "If we let the insect swarm ravage the villages behind and massacre the people, the alliance leader will definitely chop off our heads!"

"This..." The captain took a step back subconsciously.

At the moment, he can neither defend nor retreat. He no longer knows what to do.

At this time, dozens of meteorites suddenly fell from the sky, and they all fell into the attacking insect swarm and exploded. Many insects were swallowed by flames or were penetrated by lava and died.

"what happened?"

The commander looked up at the sky and found three huge warships flying slowly from the east. The large magic just now seemed to have been cast by the magicians on board.

How did such a large warship fly?!

Not only the commander, but also many soldiers on the ground were so surprised that their mouths were wide open.

At this time, a magician holding a flying magic stone flew down from the flying warship, hovered over the camp, and made a loud announcement.

"We are the reinforcements from the Sorcerous Kingdom of Bigris. We are here to support you in dealing with the insect swarm under the order of the Sorcerer King."

"Very good!"

Hearing this, the commander couldn't wait to come out, raised his head and responded loudly to the magician: "Thank you very much for your support. We really need your magic support. Let us join hands to repel those damned groups."

Insects!"

His eyes fell on the commander, and the magician grinned.

"Well, that's what we meant!"
Chapter completed!
