The Constitutional Army felt that they had done their best. Before the Heretic Navy attacked, they had prepared all means of counterattack. Whether it was coastal defense artillery, Constitutional Army naval warships, or requisitioned commercial escort ships, they were all in place.
The signal corps set off an hour ago and rushed to the nearby military base. Support troops from other cities will rush to Belfort City as soon as possible. As long as they persist for three hours, the first wave of support will arrive, at least in Belfort City.
Internally organize a second line of defense.
Division Commander Rubio stood behind the coastal defense artillery position, where the headquarters was located. He had done everything he could, and the next step was to grit his teeth and fight the Evil God Navy, and then wait for a miracle, or wait for the result.
The Navy of the Evil God Religion finally moved forward after stopping for a long time. Before the Constitutional Army could fight with the Navy of the Evil God Religion, Division Commander Rubio first turned his head and looked towards the countryside.
Thick smoke suddenly appeared on the outskirts of Belfort, and soon an officer came to the command post behind the coastal defense artillery position.
"Lieutenant General, there is a rebellion in a factory in the suburbs! Those believers who claim to have given up their faith are desperately destroying the factory's equipment! The factory's militia guards have begun to counter the rebellion, but there are too many believers, and they still destroy a lot.
machine!"
Rubio did not support using believers to supplement the labor shortage at the beginning, but the owners of the alchemist factory were too loud. As a member of the military, he could not affect the operation of Congress, so he never spoke out.
Now the consequences of accepting too many believers appear. Believers are always unstable. Unlike alchemists who believe in truth and logic, believers' beliefs are deep in the bone marrow. An alchemist can worship a certain physicist today and propose subversion tomorrow.
Another physicist of sexual theory, believers believe in one and only their evil god.
"Don't divide the troops! Let the militia and the police department deal with the rebellion of believers! Tell them to shoot directly without hesitation!"
The officer who received the order left to convey Division Commander Rubio's attitude.
The police department and the militia were in a state of panic because they could not help in the naval battle. They did not get permission from the congressmen and did not dare to take action against the believer workers. At this time, they received permission from the division commander Rubio and opened the doors excitedly.
Weapon insurance.
Even then, the factory manager was still blocking people from the police station.
"We can still talk! We can definitely still talk! Without these workers from the Southern Continent, the factory will definitely shut down!"
This time the people from the police station and the militia were very tough, and they threw grenades directly at the rebel believers.
Amidst the roar of grenades, the deputy commissioner of the police station kicked the manager over.
"What nonsense! Belfort City is about to fall! You are still staring at your tin cans and tracks!"
This manager knew a lot of information. He had heart-to-heart conversations with the managers of several nearby factories. So what if the evil god ruled here? The worst he could do was work as a manager for a factory of the Difficult Church, oh, that is, the Craftsman Church. They had the skills.
If you have management experience, where can you not make a living?
These police officers are different. The church does not need these police officers to maintain order.
The deputy commissioner of the police station sometimes hates the professional managers of the congressmen. These people take property too seriously, and many of the work of the police station cannot be carried out because the congressmen will send various managers to convey their needs.
The normal work of a businessman often needs to give way to the business of a congressman.
After receiving the support of the Constitutional Army, the rebellion of believers is actually easy to handle. Since the believers do not have the power of the apostles, they can just shoot until the believers are scared and retreat, and the rebellion is over.
Regardless of the good publicity of the council when accepting believers, as long as the believers give up their faith, the council will treat them exactly the same as everyone else. But when it comes to life and death, there is an essential difference between the two sides. Only blood will make them understand that they are from the Southern Continent.
The stowaways who came are not citizens of the Alchemy Council.
"Congressman Charles will not let you go! This is barbaric piracy!"
The manager's shouts had no effect. Normally he was a superior factory manager, but in the face of violence, he was a useless agent. During the war, even Congressman Charles behind him had to obey the arrangements of the Constitutional Army, not to mention Charles.
of several factories.
There was a continuous rumble of cannon fire from the port, and the ships from both sides finally fought!
The advantage of the Constitutional Army is that there are eight level 7 artillery pieces in their coastal defense artillery. Level 7 alchemical shells roared out of the muzzles and hit the Heretic Cult's ships heavily.
The six flagships of the Evil God's Navy are equipped with level 7 alchemical reinforcement arrays, and the rest are level 6 and level 5 reinforced arrays. Lieutenant General Rubio's tactics are very clear. Use level 7 alchemy shells to suppress the flagship of the Evil God's Cult, and then
Use other alchemical cannonballs to quickly sink other smaller ships. The number of level 7 alchemical cannons is more than the flagship of the Cult of Evil God. Each salvo can allow the surplus level 7 alchemical cannons to bombard other ships, thereby expanding the advantage.
Rubio's tactics were very correct. There was no more correct tactic until he saw the level 8 Cardinal Priest!
The first one to take action was Daoud, the eighth-level cardinal priest of the Trapped Church. He suddenly flew into the air. The black light of the artifact in his hand proved his identity. The artifact contained huge power of faith.
Daoud threw a dark iron rod into the air. The iron rod quickly split in the air and turned into dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of iron rods. These iron rods quickly flew towards the six flagships.
After arriving in the sky above each flagship, black iron rods formed an iron wall, trapping the iron wall. This was the name of this artifact.
Level 7 alchemy shells hit the trapped iron walls, making a roar and then exploding. The smoke and dust from the explosion dissipated with the sea breeze, revealing the undamaged artifact underneath with no scratches at all.
Division Commander Rubio's arms stiffened and he slowly put down the telescope. His eyes were full of confusion and despair.
6 level 8 cardinal priests?
He saw a cardinal priest in red standing on the bow of each flagship.
Except for the ninth-level priest, the Pope, each church only has 2 to 3 cardinal priests, and all of these cardinal priests are important figures in the church.
All the cardinal priests from the six churches were present. No, there must be a seventh cardinal priest, an eighth-level fraudulent cardinal priest disguised as another apostle.
This time the Evil God Cult is not attacking the Northern Continent, nor is it trying to weaken the Northern Continent, but it is sending out all its members to really bring the Evil God back to the Northern Continent...
Rubio's face was ashen, and all his preparations were a joke. The Southern Continent had tried everything, but West Elba's main force was still fighting fiercely with the werewolves on the western front and confronting the Cavaliers on the eastern front. How could they possibly win?
