Planeswalker My Plane War

Chapter 491 The Fire of War 3
The roar of war has already startled the dawn.

The residents in the city were already in chaos at this time, and those who were winking were scrambling to escape.The foolish ones hide at home and pray to the Supreme Father.The bustling streets in the past were empty and there was nothing.

However, Alicia and the others disregarded life and death, so even under such circumstances, everyone could still maintain morale and discipline.Under the leadership of Zhang Cheng, he went to the temple of the church.

Zhang Cheng already knew that the archbishop in the city had become Gong Bo's subordinates—in the identity of an undead creature—there was no power in the church.After all, although Lulian City is a big city, it is only a remote place in terms of the entire human society.This kind of place will not gather too much combat power.

Compared with the contemporary Earth, the wars in this world are larger, more brutal and full of destruction.All races that do not understand war cannot survive.An important principle of war is concentration of forces.

At this moment, Lulian City has no additional combat power.The Church has very little power here.After the archbishop left with several important figures, there were not many clergymen in the temple.

Zhang Cheng and others came to the temple.This urban area is not the focus of the dragon people's attack, so there is no attack along the way.In fact, at this moment, the dragon people are still concentrating their forces to suppress the key points, ignoring the secondary areas.If humans want to escape, just let them escape, and the dragon people don't care at all.After all, for a dragonman with two wings, chasing humans who can only walk on the ground is not troublesome.

Destroy all the resistance forces first, and then slowly hunt down and kill the fleeing humans, there is no time at all.

Above the sky, everything is clear at a glance, plus the natural visual ability of the dragon race.Don't let any of these humans run away!

Zhang Cheng came to the gate of the temple - at this moment, let alone the priests, there were not even those odd jobs left.The people on the side of the temple are far more informed and knowledgeable than ordinary people.After realizing that it was the dragon people who attacked, they immediately knew that Lulian City could not be defended, and that fleeing was the only option.

But there are always exceptions.Zhang Cheng looked around, and as expected, he found a drunk priest in the small room at the entrance of the library.

This is a 50-year-old man.Fat and bloated, Yuanpan's face is full of unhealthy red, and there is a big rosacea dotted in the center of the face.Needless to say, just by looking at this appearance, you can tell that he is an alcoholic who is addicted to alcohol.

This man, though a regular clergyman, was in charge of the public library—combined with his drunken appearance.As long as you are a person on Earth, you can guess that this person should be the loser of the political struggle.

He was drunk yesterday, and he is still awake early in the morning, knowing nothing about what happened outside.So when he was shaken awake by everyone, he looked confused.

But after regaining consciousness, he was immediately in chaos—seeing such a group of strangers with helmets and armor holding weapons, who looked awkward as visitors, it would be a lie to say that they are not afraid.

"You... what are you going to do?! This is the church! It's the church!"

The drunken priest yelled, but luckily a familiar face appeared from the crowd.

Among so many people, he knew Zhang Cheng anyway.After all, he took a lot of money from Zhang Cheng to buy wine.And during this time, Zhang Cheng would say hello to him every day when he went in and out of the library.The two sides can't talk about friends, at least they have become acquainted.

"It's...it's you...Zhang Cheng?" The alcoholic priest calmed down a little. "What do you want to do? Want to get the money back? But I bought all the money and drank it..."

"No, you don't need to pay back the money, Mr. Payne." Zhang Cheng said.He is obviously Zhang Cheng, but there is a completely different taste on his face from the past.Mixed with arrogance, cruelty and maybe more, the drunken priest is horrified just by looking at it. "I heard that you are a regular priest?"

Although he was exiled and sent to the cold palace, he was responsible for taking care of the library without any oil and water.But regular clergy are still regular clergy after all.

"Ah... yes, I am..."

"Can you use lay on hands?" Zhang Cheng asked.

"No, I can't give lay on hands to anyone casually. This is the church's regulation, and it must be approved by the archbishop... Otherwise, there will be severe punishment." His expression darkened a little.Lay on hands are a very precious ability, people with healing ability can get it from all over the world, there is no place to stay here.But the healing ability is a precious resource of the church, all of which are under the control of the church, and are not allowed to be abused privately.As far as he is concerned, he must obtain the permission of the archbishop to treat people - the cost of treatment is charged by the church - otherwise it is an abuse of divine grace, impiety, violation of the will of the Supreme Father, and blasphemy (what exactly is deducted? The charge depends on the mood of the archbishop).

"Now you are the archbishop." Zhang Cheng said.

"What?" The alcoholic priest blinked and blinked, but didn't recover for a while.

"I mean, from now on, Mr. Payne, you are the archbishop." Zhang Cheng shrugged. "Or acting as the archbishop, because there are no other priests in this city besides you. I remember that according to the rules of the church, if the archbishop dies, he will temporarily act as his deputy until the new The archbishop of the city was sent here. If the person next to him dies, it will be the next one's turn...and so on. Now you are the only clergyman in Lulian City, so you are the archbishop."

"Fa... what happened?" The alcoholic priest still hadn't figured it out.His position is very low, the lowest one.

"Dragonmen have attacked the city." Zhang Cheng said. "Now you have two choices. The first is to run for your life, and then wait for the dragon people to hunt down slowly. At the same time, pray to the Supreme Father that the dragon people will ignore you. The second choice is to join us, you can become Luli Archbishop of Ancheng."

"...Dragonmen attacked the city?"

"If you don't believe it, you can go out and have a look. This kind of thing can't be used to deceive people." Zhang Cheng said.

"Then I'll stay, not..." The alcoholic priest suddenly came to his senses. "You mean that Lulian City can be defended?"

"No, Lulian City is defenseless and cannot be defended," Zhang Cheng said. "It is estimated that most of the nobles, including the lord, should die. I just saw the dragon people concentrate their forces to attack the noble area."

"Then I don't want to be the archbishop, the only way to stay is to die!"

"No, there is a certain chance to stay, and the chance is great." Zhang Cheng said. "I remember that there are many magicians in the church? In order to better train magicians, so there is also a magic tower here in the temple?"

This world is full of racial gods, and there is no such thing as magicians looking down on gods or gods discriminating against magicians.Therefore, magicians and the church can completely coexist, and everyone believes in the Supreme Father together.

As long as you are human, you are the children of the Supreme Father without exception.Moreover, because of their unique skills, magicians are also a type that the Supreme Father values ​​very much, and they have special value.

"I heard that there is also a magic tower in the temple here," Zhang Cheng said. "I think there must be a lot of magic stored in it."

"But that power is far from enough to protect the city." The drunkard priest replied.

"But we have a very powerful summoner here. Using the energy of the magic tower, he can correctly summon a powerful existence to assist in the battle. This is the last chance." Zhang Cheng said.

"Hello," Alicia pulled Zhang Cheng from behind and whispered. "Kim can't do this!"

Others may misunderstand, but she will not.Although Alicia didn't know how to summon, at least she knew from her younger brother that the recent summons were entirely due to luck—that kind of overwhelming, incredible luck.It was a miracle that the gods answered his call twice in a row.The problem is that miracles cannot be repeated.

"Of course I ran away!" Zhang Cheng said. "If you want to join, then this is the last chance."

The drunken priest still hesitated.

"By the way," Zhang Cheng added the last bargaining chip unhurriedly. "I saw a historical story in the library. According to that story, I found that if all the regular clergy were dead, the irregular trainee priests could also serve as temporary archbishops."

It was obviously a very calm sentence, but it made the alcoholic priest tremble in fright.He looked up at the smile on Zhang Chengna's face, and at the people around him who were all fully armed, and gritted his teeth, "Okay, I'll do it!"

"Use your lay on hands first to heal the baron," Zhang Cheng said.

The alcoholic priest went to treat the baron, and Alicia pulled Zhang Cheng aside. "Zhang Cheng, your plan is to use Kim's summoning ability to deal with those dragonmen?"

"There is no other choice." Zhang Cheng replied calmly. "Of course not now, we still need to make some preparations, and more people need to die... All Earl Gellert loyal to Lulian City will die, at least until they die in a bad way, and then it will be our turn to play."

"But the people here are innocent...well! I have no position to say that." Alicia said.In the battle last night, she killed many guards.These guards are also innocent, they are just loyal to their duties. "But Kim doesn't have the ability." She said in a very firm tone.

"Alesia, do you believe me?" Zhang Cheng replied softly. "If you trust me, just leave everything to me, and I will make everything right."

Alicia's face turned red quickly, but she still refused to give in. "But it can't be done!"

"Then, let me tell you a secret." Zhang Chengtie said a few words next to her ear, so close that he almost bit her earlobe.Alicia stepped aside immediately after listening, and stopped talking.

"Hey, Zhang Cheng, is what you just said true or false?" Alexei stepped up and asked.

"Of course it's true," Zhang Cheng said. "Everything is true." He smiled again that made Alexei feel uneasy. "I don't like lying."

"Your plan is... let the dragon people eradicate the power of Earl Gellert in Lulian City first, and then we will drive away the dragon people?"

"It's roughly like this. Of course, there are many details. For example, we have to ensure that our Lord Earl's family is extinct, and we can't leave half of the dead. The second is that our newly appointed acting archbishop must In the presence of his father, he is knighted. In this way, his position as earl is completely legitimate."

"Well, I don't know what you said to Alicia just now...but have you ever considered the possibility of failure?"

"Yes." Zhang Cheng replied. "If it fails, we can leave."

"Be specific."

"Now the main force of the dragon people is attacking the rich area and the city lord's mansion, and a small number of troops are holding back the barracks. When the dragon people transfer the main force to attack the barracks, it is almost time for us to make a move. If it succeeds, naturally Needless to say, if we fail, we still have plenty of time to retreat. I just noticed that the dragon people don't care about the escapers, they know that they fly faster. So they even want us to escape, so that they can be easily hunted down... …so they won’t have troops guarding the stables next to the barracks. After all, they don’t need horses at all.”

"If it fails, shall we seize the horse and flee?"

"Haha, Captain Alexei, yes... After all, this is a city. Although the dragon people are strong, it will not be easy to completely capture this place. It will take a lot of time. We will have enough time to escape. With horses , we have much more choices. At least it is much more cost-effective than escaping on two legs now. At least we can escape farther.”

"But, wouldn't it be better to go and seize the horse now?"

"No, the dragonmen over there are throwing javelins all over the sky now. Now the past has become a target. At least we have to wait until they finish throwing the javelins and plan to come down for close combat before they have a chance to seize the horse."

Alexei was persuaded, he turned and left, returning to the others.Not surprisingly, the undercurrent that had been surging in the crowd just now calmed down instantly.

A few minutes later, the baron over there came out.He appeared to have fully recovered after receiving lay on treatments.

Although the healing ability of the clergy in this world is bad in Zhang Cheng's opinion, lay on hands as a spell itself is not bad.It combines all the effects of healing injuries, curing diseases, neutralizing toxins, and calming emotions.

But no matter how good the healing spell is, if it can only be used once a day, then the cost performance is too bad.Like the shamans in the dog world, especially high-level ones, it is no problem to heal a dozen or dozens of people in a day.If there are not so many wounded and sick, you can use the extra spellcasting ability to make some magic items such as scrolls.

And in this world, even the level of the archbishop is no exception.Anyway, only once a day, nothing more than the effect is good or bad.

"Your name is Zhang Cheng, right, that..." The baron wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhang Cheng.

"Your Excellency the Baron, we don't have much time. Let's talk about something while walking!"
