Whispers of the Gods

Chapter 36 Nalanni III

"I just received the news," Archbishop Gironche said, "Alaron and Bretor are heading towards the city of prophecy."

"The Scarlet Knights and the Broken Soul Knights?" Nalanni asked, "What are they doing here? Their mission is within their own Holy Order."

"Sunshine City gave them a new mission, and it also gave us a new mission." Archbishop Jilongshi turned to Nalanni and replied.

"What kind of mission?" Imnachar himself called the shots, which was rare.

"It seems that the emperor is not satisfied with the progress we have made in the east," the archbishop said helplessly. "The rebellion of the slaves must stop. This war has been fought for too long. Solman Salas must be brought to justice." Take it according to the law."

"With all due respect, my lord Archbishop," Nalanni said, "the war with Soleman has lasted for 15 years, and we have won many victories, big and small, but Blood Oath Fort is not so easy to capture. .”

"I know," said the archbishop, "that castle was built under my supervision. It was called Dongsheng Castle before those bloody slaves occupied it."

Dongsheng Fort and Dawn Fort on the eastern border of the Holy Empire were supposed to be used to defend the gates of the eastern tribes, but now they have become fortresses for Solman's army to resist the Holy Empire.

Solman Salas also changed the two castles to names that would make Archbishop Gironche gnash his teeth, Bloodsworn Castle and Sunset Castle.

The tribe and the slave army made an alliance with blood and shot down the holy day together.She quite liked the poetry in it.

"When will they arrive in the prophecy city?" Nalanni asked.

"The Broken Soul Knights have already passed Atoville, and it should only take a day or two; the Scarlet Knights need to cross the wetlands, and it may take another five days."

"Do you know how many people Alaron and Bretor brought here?" Nalanni continued to ask.

"The team of the Scarlet Knights has 1 foot soldiers and 3000 knights. Including the entourage, the total is about [-] people; Thirteen thousand people," said Archbishop Gironches.

"That's a lot," Nalanni said. "It's [-] to [-] mouths, human mouths, donkey mouths, and horse mouths. Did they bring enough baggage?"

"Alaron wrote that he had six months' supplies, and Bretor three," replied the archbishop.

"Of course the star hunters only bring such a small amount of food and grass," Nalanni said disdainfully, "We can't end the war within half a year, let alone three months."

She had seen the leader of the Broken Soul Knights, "Star Hunter" Bretor, who was tall, arrogant, and cruel.He takes pleasure in killing unbelievers, so the slaves in the Sacred Soul Sect are also the ones who resist the most.

And the more the slaves resisted, the more brutal the Starhunters became.If he wanted to keep the slaves alive, he would cut off their ears and noses; if he wanted the slaves to die, he would then cut off their heads and display them on wooden spikes in the square in the city of Broken Soul.

If there is not enough food and grass for him and his Broken Soul Knights, the star hunters will definitely plunder the farmlands and fief parishes in the Prophecy Holy Territory.

"Brettol, I admit, is a troublesome man," said Archbishop Gironche, "but his troops are well-trained and capable of fighting."

Seeing that Nalanni frowned, the archbishop continued to add: "In front of Shengjun and the other six archbishops, I recommend you as the commander-in-chief of this expedition. Bretor and Alaron will obey your orders."

"Thank you, my lord archbishop," Nalanni breathed a sigh of relief, because the last thing she wanted to experience was seeing the faces of other knight leaders in her territory.

But at the same time, she didn't know what kind of tactics she should adopt. Solman Salas is a cunning person. He will definitely hide behind the Blood Oath Castle and wait for the Knights to exhaust their resources during the siege. .

Before resources, tactics always come second.Soldiers fight with their stomachs, not their weapons.

"I'm afraid we won't be able to achieve results in such a short period of time." Nalanni said, "Blood Oath Fort is a pass between Stonecore Mountain and Eternal Life Mountain. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack."

The prophecy knights stationed outside Bloodsworn Castle more than once, but failed each time.

There are dug ditches in front of Bloodsworn Castle, most of which are hidden.There are archers on the city wall, and attacking from the front is tantamount to asking for death.

Behind the Blood Oath Fort is the territory of the slave army, which continuously transports resources into the fortress.

"I believe in your abilities, son," said the archbishop. "Five years ago many people thought you could not win at Bouillin, but you proved them wrong."

"That's just my luck." Nalanni shook her head.

It was hard for her to call the battle at Bwarilin a victory, for she was completely defeated tactically by Thorman's men, Rotatugg the Spotted Falcon.

She led her knights and infantry into the Wood of Bouvari, where she was caught by the Spotted Falcon.The dense woods made the prophetic knights lose the advantages of cavalry in speed and flexibility, and suffered heavy losses.

The morale of the slave rebel army was hard to break, and the knights did not back down for their faith.By the time Rotatug ordered his rebels to retreat, more than half of the two sides had been killed or injured.

It was the bloodiest battle Nalanni had ever fought in, and with half her elite troops down, she didn't count the battle of Bouvaririn as a victory.

"I need to talk to Kindro and let him start preparing the luggage for the expedition." Nalanni said, "I will get the knights ready, and Weigor will organize the infantry."

"Nalani," Archbishop Gironsh said with a serious face, "We cannot fail this time. The Blood Oath Fort must be captured, and then the City of the Unchained and the tribes of the unbelievers. We and Saulman Sara The war in Sri Lanka must end as soon as possible.”

The archbishop's emphasis made her feel puzzled, "Master Archbishop, Solman has been invading us for 15 years, why is the Holy King so eager to get his head now?"

"You know I can't tell you about the contents of the Council of Seven Hierarchs," the archbishop frowned. "Master Shengjun has a new plan, so I can only tell you so much."

This new plan made her curious, but with her current position as the head of the Knights, she can only obey the orders of Archbishop Gironche, who is the one who can go to the Holy Day Cathedral to meet Imnacha.

Nalanni has stayed in Prophecy City for too long. Although she sympathizes with the slave rebels, if she wants to get closer to Imnacha, she must first suppress the slaves' rebellion.

As long as you pass the Blood Oath Fort, you will be flat. Solman's coalition forces are mostly various Saverio tribes, and the best city defense is nothing more than a wooden fence.
