The demonic army came up from the ground to fight Saint Laurent.
This is the only way people can understand the great changes that have taken place in the holy city of Frankfurt.
At least one thing is different from what the professor thought, that is, the news of the fall of the Holy City did not destroy the will of the people of the Saint Laurent Empire. This is because they are not sectarian believers in the usual sense, but loyal and fanatical personal admirers of Roland.
.
From the moment they began to believe in Roland, the thought of doubting Roland would never appear in their hearts again.
After realizing the threat from the enemy, the priests and bishops scattered throughout the Saint Laurent Empire abandoned their affairs. They organized spontaneously and gathered in the imperial capital of the Saint Laurent Empire.
This disaster even alarmed Queen Ivana.
In the early morning of the next day after the fall of the holy city of Frankfurt, Ivana summoned the military headquarters, bluntly stated the threat of this incident, and ordered them to start preparing for war.
Everyone was aware of the seriousness of the problem. They did not waste time as usual, but conveyed Ivana's order without hesitation and supervised their immediate execution.
From the founding of Bansa to today's Saint Laurent Empire, they have never faced such a terrible disaster.
To take a step back, even if the religious aspects are excluded, this is enough to be called a catastrophe.
You know, the holy city of Frankfurt is actually not that far from the imperial capital, only less than a day's journey. If you take a fast horse, you can even get there in about three hours.
And that enemy, tentatively defined as a demon, probably casts some terrible plague or curse, and has the ability to make the people who have just been killed stand up and fight again. People who are resurrected by this evil method almost have
With all the abilities he had in life, he also has the extremely troublesome immortality that makes him almost impossible to kill.
More importantly, this method is extremely concealed, fast and deadly.
Even if the enemy happened to break into the Holy City when Saint Laurent, Gaharad, Claudia and others were not around, there should theoretically be three or four cardinals in Frankfurt in the dome cathedral.
But in fact, until the Holy City fell completely, no one knew about the invasion. Even now, Ivana learned the news from the defenders in the east.
Until now, no one knows who the demon is, what it looks like, or how many people there are. They just know that the demon has a very strong purpose.
Ivana was extremely convinced that if the devil had chosen to target the imperial capital in the first place, she would have had no chance of escaping. But not only did he choose Frankfurt as his target, he also targeted everyone in Frankfurt.
After transforming into a terrifying undead-like monster, he had no intention of going west to occupy the imperial capital, but instead marched eastward very urgently.
Ivana continued to receive messages from the frontline wizards. In just half a day, those monsters had already traveled one-sixth of the distance of the Saint Laurent Empire. At this speed, before the sun rose the next day,
They will probably be able to rush to the territory of the Principality of Saya.
Faced with such a situation, Ivana did not act rashly.
Nowadays, none of the great sages have returned to Bansa, and Bansa's top combat power is not very high. Those evil spirits who are captured by the devil's magic and cannot be killed by mortal swords are far more powerful than those who came in life.
.
Although Frankfurt was quite empty at the time, as a holy city, it also had a large number of professionals. It can even be said that the proportion of professionals was incredibly high.
If you challenge them carelessly, the final result will only be to increase the enemy's strength.
After realizing this, not only the Saint Laurent Empire military, but also the believers who returned from various parts of the empire spontaneously avoided the enemy's advance route. As a result, a devastating army marched eastward.
They did not encounter any resistance on the way. Except for the villages and towns at the beginning that were unable to avoid being crushed and engulfed by this terrifying legion, the towns behind were evacuated in an emergency, and the casualty rate basically did not exceed one tenth.
However, these monsters have no intention of stopping. They will ruthlessly kill all life that appears within their sight. But on the contrary, as long as they are not seen from the beginning, they will not go there at all.
Search for these people.
It's almost like a golem that mechanically executes the order "Kill everyone it encounters".
During this half-day, the empire was operating at full speed with unprecedented intensity, and it was not until dusk that there was some improvement.
Because the two cardinals Gahalad and Xila, as well as the saint Claudia, finally returned to the empire.
Arriving with them was a group of fully armed holy warriors.
They wore the formal attire of the clergy, and wore pure white cloaks outside their robes, with the emblem of worship branded on the cloaks.
The long-handled scepter was tightly entangled with thorn-like chains, and the chains spread out like wings on both sides of the scepter. And at the tip of the scepter, it was like Roland's scepter, with a slender cross.
decorate.
Above the scepter, there is a mysterious eye-like pattern suspended, surrounded by chains spreading to both sides to form a concentric ring.
That is the emblem of the Three Saints, and coupled with the scepter symbolizing Roland, their identities are self-evident.
That is the followers of Saint Laurent who practice the rites of the Three Saints, believe in the principles of the world, and abide by Laurent's "Commandments".
Their bodies reverberated with huge divine grace visible to the naked eye. The looming silver-white ripples fluttered like ribbons behind them as they moved, forming ripples like water waves.
They are Roland's knights and Roland's priests.
If we use the words in the game to describe it, the Keeper is equivalent to a silver-level advanced job transfer. It has some of the characteristics and magical skills of the mourner, but it is not as weak in close combat as the mourner.
However, as a price, they must always abide by Roland's commandments and must not violate them. Otherwise, they will lose all commandment keeper levels when they violate them for the third time.
It can be said that this is an army composed entirely of Roland's fanatical believers.
Even though the Holy Land was occupied by demons, there was no despair in their eyes. Only burning anger burned in their eyes.
How terrible the enemy is has nothing to do with them.
Rather, if the enemy is too strong, it can actually make them feel proud.
They are just Saint Laurent's sword, Saint Laurent's shield, his tongue, and his disciples. The meaning of living is to protect the glory of Saint Laurent.
The moment Ivana saw them from the high platform, she understood what was going to happen next.
Holy war. They need a holy war so urgently to appease their angry souls.
She had already smelled it, and the smell that had once made her extremely excited but had not tasted it for many years echoed in the air.
