When the strengthening was over and all the believers had adapted to their own strength, he asked Alfonso to write a submission for the Church of Life and Wisdom to conquer the Holy Church, officially announcing the start of the holy war between the God of Life and Wisdom and the Holy God.

.

The war between churches of different faiths is called holy war. It is a war between otherworldly people. The noble lords can choose to participate in the holy war, or they can choose not to participate. In theory, they will not be subject to post-war liquidation.

But this is only in theory. In fact, the nobles and lords of Dell Province basically have no choice.

They are all messing around in this three-quarter acre of land, so there is no possibility of staying out of it. The holy war involves all believers. Many knights or soldiers under the major lords are believers of the Holy Church. When the church calls for recruitment, all your subordinates go to war. You

This lord can still stay out of the situation.

So there was no choice. In this battle, Lin Xiao was destined to challenge all the lords of Dell Province with only Alfonso's territory.

It is very difficult, but it also has advantages. If he can win, especially if he shows irresistible power on the battlefield, once the Holy Church is defeated, the faith of the entire Dell Province will immediately collapse.

It may take a long time for civilian believers to lead the change, but the speed of noble lords changing their faith will definitely be very fast.

The most important thing is that this is a world without demons. The Holy God has not yet been born. There is no mechanism for divine punishment for changing beliefs. Even if fanatic believers change their beliefs, nothing will happen. This gives many lords the opportunity to change their beliefs confidently.

Faced with his provocation, the Holy Church was furious. Many bishops denounced Alfonso as a heretic and unanimously wanted to punish the Gibson family.

But the sound was loud but the rain was light, because at this time, the Holy Church Knights in the Dale Province were fighting with the Hook Territory in the north, and they could not spare their hands at all now.

It was beyond everyone's expectations. I thought that the battle between the church knights and many opportunistic noble private soldiers against the small Hook Territory would be a devastating battle. However, in fact, after several months of fighting, there was no attack.

Lower Hooker's Collar.

The opponent had long been prepared to defend the castle of the former lord of Hook Territory. It not only had an elite group of soldiers, but also a very sharp defense weapon. After surrounding Hook Territory for more than two months, it not only failed to capture it, but suffered huge losses.

Of course, after all, the Church Knights have an absolute numerical advantage, and they can still hold on even if they suffer huge losses. As long as they can endure the losses of their men, it is inevitable to finally capture Hook's territory.

Bartos, the leader of the knights, originally wanted to use the noble private soldiers and militia cannon fodder that came with the army to consume the enemy in this way. At this time, the enemy was exhausted after two months, and the defensive intensity was significantly reduced. Seeing that

He was about to capture the castle, but he received news of the jihad from the cathedral, which put him in a dilemma.

After thinking for a long time, he wrote a letter to the cathedral, suggesting that the cathedral defend first and wait for his side to quickly eliminate the opponent and then return to support.

However, the plan was good, but the plot did not develop as he imagined.

Less than two days after sending this letter, Bartos received a second letter from the cathedral, which contained news that made him unable to sit still.

"The pagans defeated an army of Viscount Fetan and Earl Dyson at the border of Viscount Fetan. They have captured Viscount Fetan and are attacking Earl Dyson's border outpost."

.........

"Whose side is this god of life and wisdom...?"

In Hook's Castle, Daryl, the son of the Spirit Realm, looked at the secret message in his hand and pondered for a long time without moving.

As an aspiring son of the spiritual realm, he attached great importance to intelligence and had sent out his followers to establish an intelligence network early on. Therefore, as soon as Lin Xiao's jihad payment documents came out, his followers passed the news back.

After reading the contents of the secret message for a long time, he was thinking about how to deal with this situation.

"The other side is probably panicking and wants to withdraw its troops. When the Holy Knights withdraw, I have to wait and see the situation, find out who the God of Life and Wisdom belongs to, and be prepared to deal with changes in the situation."

As an elite descendant, Daryl has his own unique insights into the situation, and he immediately understood that the situation in Dell Province had entered a critical moment.

No matter who wins or loses between the Holy Knights and the Church of Life and Wisdom, it is his chance. He is already thinking about waiting for the Holy Knights to withdraw, take a short rest, and then follow the Holy Knights to the edge of their decisive battlefield to wait for the opportunity.

but.....

Outside the city, in the camp, after receiving the second urgent letter from the cathedral, Bartos stood silent for a while. After about ten seconds, he ordered a meeting of all officers.

Ten minutes later, a dull horn sounded, and many resting knights mounted their horses again and approached the city wall. All troops besieging the city were mobilized, including the reserves.

"Damn it!"

Daryl, who heard the sound of the war horn on the castle wall, immediately understood that his prediction was wrong. The knight leader Bartosz did not withdraw his troops immediately, but wanted to fight again with all his troops.

One day later, under the constant onslaught of the Knights of the Church regardless of cost or loss, Fort Hook, which had an absolute numerical disadvantage, could not hold on and was breached.

After a great battle, the leader of the garrison at Fort Hook led a small group of core men to break through the siege and escape, and the entire Hook Territory was recovered.

Afterwards, some noble speculators and private soldiers were left to wipe out the remnants, and Bartos led the army to return to Dell City.

At this time, Alfonso's army had crossed the Viscounty of Fetan and entered the territory of Count Dyson.

After knowing Alfonso's strength, Count Dyson chose to shrink his defense, abandoning all the peripheral territory and retreating to the core Dell City, preparing to defend Dell City together with the Holy Church, so the army arrived at Dell City without a fight.

One day later, Lin Xiao arrived with dozens of holy warriors. From a distance, he could see the pointed cathedral spire in the center of Dell City. A white beam of light that ordinary people could not see rose into the sky. It was extremely rich.

The power of faith.

Dell Cathedral has been established for thousands of years. Countless believers in the entire Dell Province have accumulated thousands of years of accumulation. I don’t know how much power of faith has been accumulated. And because of the limitations of the world, this world cannot give birth to extraordinary beings. Naturally, there is no so-called holy god, so among these beliefs

The power has been accumulated in the statues in the cathedral for so long that they can be seen from far away.

Lin Xiao had ten thousand thoughts about this, and he longed for the power of these beliefs.

"Don't hold back, attack Dell City in one go, I will assist you."

At the pre-war meeting, Lin Xiao directly gave the order to die. He did not want to have long nights and dreams.

In the early morning of the next day, the loud beating of drums rang out in the camp, and many soldiers who had gotten up early, had breakfast and prepared, began to gather, lined up in neat formation, and left the camp.

Although there were not many people, even if the surrendered soldiers and speculators were included, the total number of private soldiers was only seven or eight hundred, which was far lower than the nearly two thousand defenders on the city wall, but their morale was very high.

The huge tents in the camp were opened one after another, and inside were huge all-metal siege rams, ballistas and trebuchets that Lin Xiao had secretly put in last night.

They are all primitive and bulky, but in this world they are considered high-end war machines, and they are all provided by the military.

The surface of this all-metal crash car is covered with a thick steel plate, which can block all arrows and small catapults. The crash car itself is also driven by mechanical gears. Only two or three soldiers can control the push, but at this time each crash car

There were dozens of people hiding underneath, and the arrows raining down from the city wall jingled on the roof, unable to penetrate at all.

The ballista also has an all-metal structure, and there is a thick steel plate behind the launch pad to protect the operator.

The trebuchet does not have these protections. This thing is always in the rear, and any attack except the enemy's trebuchet cannot affect it. The only change to this thing is that the metal structure is thickened and thickened, so that it can withstand the bombing of the enemy's trebuchet without deforming.

There were only two metal crash carts, but they were unstoppable. They rushed under the city wall and entered the city gate hole with a hail of arrows, and stopped inside. A huge metal hammer with a diameter of nearly half a meter was raised back and slammed forward.

Down.

"boom!"

The huge metal hammer hit the thick wooden door hard, causing countless splinters of wood and smoke to rise up.

Behind the battlefield, huge crossbows are gradually approaching the attack range. These metal crossbows are all modified large-scale crossbows. Each crossbow has ten launch ports and can fire ten crossbow arrows at a time. There are ten large crossbows in total.

The cars were lined up in a row, and accompanied by a series of firing sounds, one after another crossbow arrows rushed towards the city wall.

A wave of a hundred crossbow arrows and a moment of intensive attack directly suppressed a section of the city wall. The defenders on the city wall did not dare to raise their heads when they saw the rubble of the city head shattered by the steel crossbow arrows.

The trebuchet throws stones as big as a table that are wrapped in an oil-soaked shell. The oil on the stones is ignited before being thrown, and a burning fireball is thrown out.

After landing, the shell filled with oil exploded, and countless flames flew, causing great damage to the city.

At this time, we don't care how much damage the flames will do to the city. At this time, we need to capture the city first and then extinguish the burning fire.

And although this catapult is primitive, its workmanship is very advanced, its accuracy is very high, and it has a standard method of use. As long as you use it according to the standard card, it basically means where to throw it.

Not long after the siege began, the army had not yet approached, and several rounds of precise slinging and ballista bombardments overwhelmed the defenders.

As several soldiers used magic to fly up and find the garrison headquarters hidden in the city gate tower, several rounds of stone throwing and fire directly destroyed the city gate tower.

I don’t know if all the enemy’s garrison generals died, but they must have been frightened, and the morale of the garrison plummeted.

This kind of bombardment continued... In less than half an hour, the city gate was forced open by a car crash. However, they did not attack the city directly, but continued to hit other sections of the city wall. At the same time, the trebuchets also began to focus fire on a certain section of the city wall.
