As a veteran general, Robert is not a gambler. He will not wait until the entire front line collapses before ordering a retreat. Instead, he will choose to retreat when the first signs of it appear, that is, he will choose to retreat when he has the ability to retreat. This way, he can still survive.
Being able to escape intact without being stuck in a quagmire, unable to escape, or even annihilated.
The Holy Court's army retreated from Monclova, which had been turned into ruins, like an ebbing tide.
Gippetto came last and had a head-to-head fight with the mysterious chosen one of the ancient gods. His scissors shattered the hood of the black cloak, revealing a head with only some shriveled skin left, with sunken eye sockets and burning inside.
It glows with blue flames, like a skeleton.
Gippetto's scissors tore open the skull's mouth from the left ear to the right ear.
This ancient god's chosen one was not an easy person. He cut off half of Geppetto's neck with the huge scythe in his hand, causing Geppetto to have a crooked head. His head could only rest on his shoulders. Half of his neck was cut off.
Rotating gears were exposed in the middle, and bursts of electric sparks exploded from time to time.
Huangfu felt a little regretful. He could have pursued it, but the primary problem now was to suppress "Rahu" and re-strengthen the control of "Rahu" to prevent it from losing control. He could only watch the "Steam Archon" withdraw from the battlefield.
On the other side, the battle for San Antonio has officially begun.
Finally, the two immortals could no longer compete with each other for strategic prowess, and both came to the scene in person. Joseph sat inside the San Antonio Mission, while Gong Fu sat outside the city, facing off from afar.
However, at the beginning of the offensive battle, the two immortals did not take action directly. They had to choose a suitable moment. At the beginning, it was still a conventional war. Which side could not support it first, which immortal would take action first to save the situation?
It is easy for the opponent to attack later and be controlled by others. For two people who are close to each other, the impact is still great.
The artillery group was still lined up at Xidaomen to cover it with artillery fire first.
The Holy Court was not polite either. The land reinforcements were too late to provide support, but the air reinforcements were still able to arrive quickly. This time it was no longer an ordinary combat airship. It abandoned machinery and steam. It was a complete arcane product, and its appearance resembled countless enlargements.
The Nautilus is not the style of the Holy Court.
This "Nautilus" is the top battleship used by Steam Gospel to compete with Daomen's "Yinglong". It looks like a living creature, and even has tentacles that are thousands of meters long.
Along with the "Nautilus" came many flying dragon knights, hovering around the "Nautilus" to escort them. They rode Western double-winged flying dragons, roaring across the sky. The flying dragons breathed flames, and the knights held long-lasting weapons.
The terrifying dragon gun that is tens of meters long can still be used even if it is riding on the back of a dragon.
Xidaomen did not dispatch Daomen's "Yinglong", but instead dispatched the "Sun Boat".
It was as if the long dark night had finally ushered in the dawn, and the dazzling light came like a flood, illuminating the entire world and making all darkness disappear.
A second sun seemed to appear in the sky, and it seemed to be a supreme eye, overlooking the world.
There are many sun gods in the world, such as the True King of the Sun, Great Sun Tathagata, Himihuzun, Kukulkan, etc. Some of them have fallen or left the world, and there are still Himihuzun and Kukulkan.
The sun gods can snatch, share, and inherit priesthoods from each other. The concept of priesthood is relatively general and usually manifests itself as some kind of magical power. For example, Himi Huzun surrendered to Buddhism and claimed to be the incarnation of the Great Sun Tathagata, so he shared part of the priesthood of the Great Sun Tathagata.
, able to use the magical power of the Great Sun Tathagata.
In the past, there was a place called Misir farther west in West Posu Island. There used to be a declining pantheon. Its main god was also the Sun God. He would enter the state of death every night. He would first enter from the Valley of the Dead by night boat.
In Hades, pass the twelve checkpoints on the River Styx, then defeat the Chaos Serpent Ampep under the protection of the gods, and finally transfer to a sun boat at the end of the River Styx to rise from the mother river of Misir.
The sun god has died, leaving only a few ruins, bathed in the glory of the supreme will. Kukulkan, who has not yet died, stole the priesthood of the sun god and also obtained this night boat and sun
After cooperating with Xidaomen, the two parties jointly built this "solar boat" to fight against the "Nautilus" of the Steam Gospel.
In fact, the Central Plains was also facing this kind of crisis. Even because the emperor and the emperor were one in the Central Plains, there were not many serious gods at all. However, at that time, the Confucian sect, as the lord of the Central Plains, ushered in its last saint-the Saint of Xinxue.
, Taishang Daozu also left the God Lu Wu in Kunlun to guard the "Capital under the Emperor". Both of them are equivalent to the immortals of the Second Tribulation, so that the gods from outside the realm dare not enter the Central Plains rashly.
However, it is an indisputable fact that its peripheral Western Regions, Nanyang, and Fenglin Continent have all been lost one after another.
During the reign of Emperor Shizong of the Great Wei Dynasty, the saint Xinxue passed away, but it was still during the reign of Emperor Shizong, decades apart, that Xuansheng was born.
With the death of the saint of Xinxue, the Confucian sect ushered in a comprehensive decline. Xuansheng was born in the reign of Shizong and grew up in the reign of Mu Zong. He finally integrated the Taoist sects in the reign of Shenzong, supported Daxuan to replace Dawei, defeated Confucianism, and opened up the great
The mighty Taoist era.
Just after Xuansheng became the first Grand Master and built the Taoist auxiliary capital of Wanshou Chongyang Palace, God Lu Wu completed his mission, released the false immortals in Kunlun Cave, officially handed Yujing and Kunlun Cave to Xuansheng, and ascended to death.
.
In fact, at the last moment before the long night of the end of the Dharma, representatives of the three religions came to the world. The representative of the Confucian school was the saint of mind, the representative of the Taoist school was the Xuansheng, and the representative of the Buddhist school was the Lord Buddha a little later.
In the end, Xuansheng led Daomen to have the last laugh.
Taoism defeated Buddhism, regained the Western Regions, Nanyang, Fenglinzhou and other places, and became the co-owner of the Eastern World. ??
Xidaomen also moved to the Western Continent at this time, and followed the wave of discovery of the New World and settled in the New World.
The next thing is the respective histories of Daomen and Xidaomen.
The Taoist sect had five more great masters after Xuansheng. The Taoist sect reached its peak under the hands of the fifth generation of great masters. It was precisely because the five generations of great masters made great contributions, had too high prestige, and had powerful methods.
Only then did he suppress the three ways and become the most powerful leader after Xuansheng.
Xidaomen struggled to survive in the New World and was no match for the Holy Court. Finally, they contacted Daomen and received assistance from them. After hundreds of years of struggle, they took advantage of the internal strife between the Steam Gospel and the Holy Court to unite all forces and led the aborigines to successfully establish Tawan.
Ting.
Along with the "Sun Boat" appeared golden eagle warriors with eagle heads and bodies, golden wings on their backs, bathed in golden light. Although the eagle warriors did not have flying dragons, they were more numerous than the flying dragon knights, holding bows and arrows.
These people are also special believers of the ancient gods. According to the agreement between Xidaomen and the ancient gods, Xidaomen helped the ancient gods stabilize their faith. The ancient gods also have to help Xidaomen fight against the steam gospel. There are people who can help and the strength can help.
This time the army went out to fight, whether it was attacking the city or defending the city, you could see the shadows of the ancient gods. This is also the special strength of Xidaomen, but compared with the Lingguan troops unified by Daomen, it is a bit local armed and regular army
The difference is.
These eagle warriors opened their bows and nocked arrows, and fired a volley. There was no rain of arrows, but countless dazzling golden lights, like a mighty rain of light.
The true fire of the sun burns in these golden radiances, and the temperature can be obviously increased, even causing the space to distort.
The flying dragon knights wore bright red armor with thorns and barbs, which was obviously different from the traditional Templar knights. They faced the fierce light and rain without fear, and withstood the rain of arrows and launched a charge.
Although the land
The battle turned into an air battle, but the basic idea remained the same.
"Nautilus" and "Sun Boat" still stayed in place and kept firing. The former fired sour slime, and every time it fired it was like an acid rain, while the latter fired flames and rained down small meteors and fire.
Ground troops are also at war.
Except for some special units, such as black armored heavy cavalry, it is difficult to see the scene of face-to-face fighting. At a glance, apart from the smoke of gunfire and flying dust, there are trenches.
The thunderous artillery fire seemed to have never stopped, and the entire suburb had been reduced to ruins.
Gong Fu did not think about completely occupying San Antonio. His goal was very simple. To carry out a key attack on the San Antonio Mission in a short period of time, systematically destroy the logistics system and military facilities of the Holy Army, and then declare victory and withdraw from the North.
Mainland, return to the southern continent, and recover Del Rio.
At this time, the Holy Army had to withdraw due to lack of logistics, so the two sides returned to the original border.
The purpose of this war is to concentrate superior forces within a limited time, break through one by one, achieve quick victory, and destroy the enemy quickly.
In this way, Xidaomen has proved to Daomen that it is not just beaten, but has the ability to fight back and destroy the San Antonio Mission without exaggerating the situation. Xidaomen and Steam Gospel are considered a draw, and no one can do anything about it.
Who, instead, will usher in a period of peace.
This is the military serving politics.
It is also in line with Qi Xuansu's interests.
Qi Xuansu was ordered to stabilize the situation. If he could achieve this goal, he would be considered a victory in the initial stage and could return to Yujing for a staged debriefing before entering the second stage.
In fact, Qi Xuansu has already begun to consider returning to Yujing to report on his work.
Ever since Qi Xuansu learned that Xiao Yin had been aggrieved, he thought of preparing a gift for Xiao Yin, preferably a special product from the Southern Continent that Xiao Yin had never seen before.
Of course, you can't forget your mother. It would be bad if your mother is jealous. If you push her like this again, you can't forget your mother. She is a jealous person, so it's fine if you don't even prepare for it. If you treat her differently,
The big hat of marrying a daughter-in-law and forgetting about the mother cannot be taken off.
If one sheep is being driven and two sheep are being herded, do the two mother-in-laws also have to show their affection? The mother-in-law has expressed it, but what about the father-in-law?
Qi Xuansu only felt a headache, and began to think to save trouble, or simply let Chen Jianchou prepare some in Yujing, and he could just take it when he went back.
