104. The battlefield on both sides (3000-word chapter)

According to Jeanne, this legend happened more than two thousand years ago.

Relying on the power of armor, the girl named Fiona led her believers and supporters to successfully resist the tyranny of the time and established a peaceful, harmonious and friendly ancient theocracy.

For this reason, she was hailed as the ‘Savior Saint’ by her people.

At that time, this armor was still a relatively orthodox, standard and conservative style.

The power is also stronger than it is now. There is no need to take an average, and it can directly increase the number of friendly forces within the range. When used on a large-scale battlefield, it is simply a terrifying weapon.

Even after switching forms and transforming, he is even more powerful. He can use a variety of extraordinary abilities and has super combat power that is no less than that of a ninth-level saint.

Of course, the cost is also greater, more troublesome and more complicated.

Now, this armor was something that scholars would dig up in an ancient tomb.

Because it has been too long, and there was no reasonable maintenance in the middle, its power has been reduced too much, and it cannot be used directly as a holy object. It can only be used as the raw material for casting holy objects: ancient mysteries.

Later, Macmillan led his own team and made it what it is now. Its power has shrunk a lot, and the corresponding cost has also been much weaker. It just changed back to a child for one day.

But the usage conditions are still very troublesome.

First of all, the user must be an unmarried young woman.

Then we must have a vague "grand ambition" such as regaining our homeland and liberating the people, make similar oaths, and our actions and thoughts must not violate it.

Considering that the conditions are part of the price, the current state of this holy object is not very strong. Except for an extremely special candidate like Jeanne, no one else can use it at all.

No wonder it is only classified as a Tier 2 elite holy object by scholars, which is still relatively useless. It is also because of this reason that Macmillan can survive to this day.

Rolle nodded calmly and did not refute part of Jeanne's statement.

In fact, he happened to learn about Fiona's story at the History Museum in the Imperial Capital.

In the historical records of other forces such as the empire and the barbarians, she is more often called the "witch of trouble"

She was able to successfully found the country not only by relying on the powerful power of the holy objects, but also by taking advantage of the world war at that time. During the war, she fomented dissension, fanned the flames, played both sides, and repeatedly jumped to accomplish what she did.

feat.

Imperial historians generally believe that if this witch had not caused trouble, the scope of the world war and the various losses would not have been so great.

Her end was even more miserable. Because she failed to fulfill the price of the sacred object, she eventually suffered a serious backlash. The Theocracy, which had just been established for more than ten years, was instantly destroyed by the enemy, and the country was destroyed and people were destroyed...

She herself also became the enemy's plaything, performing various dramas such as "White Burning Holy Maiden".

It was probably at that time that armor became the sexy style it is today.

It can be seen that even if this sacred object is the strongest original version, it has its limits and cannot support the existence of a country.

After hearing this explanation, Rohr finally understood where Jeanne's crazy ideas came from when she first met her.

But she obviously doesn't know what happened to Fiona...

It was not convenient for Luo Er to tell her, so he had to ask instead:

"You said before that Red Gill was looking for me?"

Only then did Jeanne remember the business and quickly took him to find Redgill who was playing with the two field guns.

"I suddenly remembered that one of my classmates who studied abroad with me back then should be on duty at Gaoshan Fort. I want to try to get in touch with him, so I plan to go to Gaoshan Fort..."

"You have to go there in person? It's too dangerous."

Rohr subconsciously retorted that he did not want this rare talent to be put in danger.

Redgill smiled nonchalantly and said:

"I know, but this risk is worth taking. If it succeeds, we won't have to prepare siege equipment so hard, and we won't have to risk huge casualties to attack the city wall."

Rohr looked at him and saw the enthusiasm and fearlessness in the other person's eyes. After hesitating for a long time, he nodded.

So Redgill set out overnight and secretly sneaked into the mountain castle.

But fortunately, he came back safe and sound early the next morning and brought back good news.

There are about 500 soldiers in the Alpine Fort who are willing to respond to their actions and will help open the most important east city gate.

"hope everything is fine……"

After hearing this, Luo Er sighed in a low voice.

If the east gate is not open by then, he may have to work hard on his own.

So, three days later, late at night when Rohr was supposed to visit his daughter, a team of 1,500 resistance troops used the cover of night to sneak towards the east gate of the Alpine Fort.

The remaining 500 people, carrying a cannon, circled towards the military camp on the southern outskirts of the city. Their mission was to sneak attack and delay the more than 1,000 defenders here.

The city gate opened in response, and the resistance troops successfully entered the city and took control of this most critical city gate.

Then, everyone followed Rohr's previous arrangement and occupied two important blocks near the city gate.

They will use this as a base to launch a fierce battle with the more than 1,000 defenders in the city. They must control the entire mountain fort before enemy reinforcements arrive.

When everything was ready, Roll nodded towards Jeanne.

Jeanne held a torch and stood in front of a field artillery that had been set up and aimed at the city lord's palace. After giving a morale-boosting speech, she lit the fuse of the artillery.

With a dull roar, the cannonball drew a beautiful arc in the night sky, hit the most beautiful building in the city, and exploded with sparks.

Tonight's battle officially kicked off.

"Recover our homeland now!"

"For the sake of the saint, go for it!"

"Victory will definitely belong to us, and history will remember us!"

The top leaders of a sect issued impassioned slogans and led the troops towards the garrison of the city's defenders.

These slogans were temporarily taught to them by Rohr, and they were supposed to make people excited. However, when they were shouted out in the local dialect, Rohr sounded like they were shouting, "Abaaaaaaaaaaaaaa".

"Mentor, when should I take action?"

Jeanne beside her asked quietly.

She stood on a high tower in the city, looking at the battle situation ahead, watching her soldiers fighting with the enemy, feeling a little anxious.

"Don't panic, you are the most important trump card and cannot be exposed at this time."

The coverage area of ​​that set of armor is really too small for a city's offensive and defensive battles.

"Stay vigilant and always pay attention to the movements of enemy extraordinary beings."

He followed up with another reminder.

Under MacMillan's guidance, Jeanne used that armor to activate her perception, but it was limited to perception.

Because Macmillan himself is a pure researcher, he turned on perception only for research. He has never been exposed to other extraordinary powers, so naturally he cannot teach it to Jeanne.

But just perception is enough.

"But... our people seem to be at a disadvantage..."

Jeanne said very worriedly.

Rohr also took a look at the fighting situation in several places, and it was simply unsightly.

The Resistance Army is so incompetent that they can't even be considered a militia. They clearly have the advantage of sneak attacks and their morale is still very high. They should be able to destroy everything, but when they come into contact with a small enemy force, they actually become anxious.

fierce battle?

Even vaguely at a disadvantage?

Although he had long been mentally prepared that his teammates might be outrageous, he did not expect that he would be so bad. If he continued like this, let alone the subsequent defense, there was no telling whether he could attack or not.

Do you really want Jeanna to open the sacred object in advance?

Just when Rohr was hesitating, a loud shout suddenly erupted from many places in the city:

"Fight! Fight with them!"

"Give my father back his life!"

"I have been waiting for this day for a long time!"

Then, I saw countless civilians, carrying kitchen knives, pitchforks, hoes and other simple weapons in their hands, pouring into the streets from their homes to participate in the battle of resistance.

The stalemate situation that was still at a disadvantage was instantly reversed. The enemy forces fighting the resistance army fell into the vast ocean of the People's War and were heavily surrounded.

Huh~ Fortunately, the people here are more bloody than I expected...

Seeing that the momentum was building, Luo Er finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was basically impossible to lose this battle.

The resistance army, which received this powerful boost, captured one block after another with a devastating attitude, and surrounded the city lord's palace in the center.

The small force led by Redgill also successfully completed Rohr's mission and held back the defenders of the military camp outside the city.

Victory seems to be only a matter of time...

-------

While the triumphal song was being played here at the Alpine Fort, the ruins valley not far away was also very uneven.

It was obviously late at night, but the lowest floor of the ancient ruins, the hall where the huge carvings were found, was brightly lit by countless magic lamps.

Ten men in armor lined up in two lines, facing each other in the center of the hall.

Among them, Keli, the shortest, is the most conspicuous.

After all, the archaeological teams of the empire and the barbarians inevitably clashed.

The fuse was in the middle of the confrontation between the two sides. There was a suspended, altar-like stone platform with a rusty dagger-like tool inserted on it, and wisps of power fluctuations faintly emitted from it.

It was an ancient mystery. Although it was not up to the rule level for making level 0 sacred objects in terms of fluctuations, it was at least the level of a level 1 artifact.

This hanging altar did not originally exist, but not long ago, someone accidentally touched a certain mechanism and suddenly fell off from the ceiling.

Both parties claimed that this was their discovery and refused to let it go.

A war is imminent.

Let’s update this much today, a total of 4 3000 chapters, 12000 words.

My grades were very low and I was in a bad mood. I had to play a game to adjust my mood.

Maybe later?
