The Mechanical Empire of the End of the World

Ten cardinals of the Holy Cloth?

Hearing this, the knights were delighted.

Oli said happily: "Great, if there are cardinals of the Holy Cloth accompanying us, our combat effectiveness can be increased several times. No matter how strong the Black Flag City is, we don't have to be afraid."

Raising his hand, Peggy asked everyone to calm down and said in a deep voice: "Prepare for seven days. After seven days, the army will set out. Go, Oli stay."

Everyone turned around and dispersed, walking outside the combat meeting room, only Oli stayed.

Pepki walked around the round table with a wooden stick, and stopped after a few steps, saying to Oli: "Oli, come here..."

Oli moved at the sound and strode to Peki's side.

Holding a wooden stick, Peggy pointed to a point on the map and said, "Oli, after the army sets out, you send a fast ship to the South African mainland. Do not enter the inland, just conduct a reconnaissance of Madagascar Island. Do not do anything extra. Your mission is to investigate this island and find out whether the south is as beautiful as the resurrected said, with spring all year round and the sky not covered by the polar layer."

Puzzled, Oli asked, "Captain, why do you want to investigate this island?"

Faced with Oli's question, Peggy sighed and said in a deep voice, "Oli, have you ever thought about what would happen if we failed in this expedition?"

Failure?

With a frown, Oli pondered, "If we fail, even if we are not completely wiped out, we will suffer heavy losses. By then, let alone destroying Black Flag City, even entering the New World will become a luxury."

Peggy said, "Yes, you are right, so we need a place with rich resources for the Holy City to rise again. If the South is really as the Resurrectionist said, then the South African continent must be full of vitality, with the trees we need and enough arable land. With this fertile land, it will not be difficult for the Holy Light to rise again."

So that's it...

Oli understood the captain's plan. The captain was preparing in advance for the possible failure.

But will they really fail?

Although he was confident in his heart, Oli could not refute the preparations made by the captain.

Oli nodded and said, "Don't worry, captain, I will do this well."

Putting down the wooden stick in his hand, Peggy said, "Go..."

Without saying anything more, Oli turned around and strode away.

Peggy rested his hands on the edge of the round table, looking at the map in front of him.

If possible, Peggy did not want to be an enemy of Black Flag City. He always had an ominous premonition about the expedition seven days later.

But he had no choice, and the Holy City had no choice. It was Black Flag City that attacked the Holy City inexplicably, and they had to fight back against Black Flag City.

Time passed bit by bit, and day after day passed unknowingly.

As a city with a population of more than seven million, due to the appearance of the Holy Shield, a peaceful but ominous atmosphere appeared in the city.

Humans are all selfish, even when facing God, their own interests are higher than the gods.

Of course, this is not absolute. There are devout believers, and there are many such people in the Holy City.

But not everyone is a devout believer. Facing ascension and entering the so-called heaven, devout believers are happy. They stand on the streets day and night, praying to be chosen by the Holy Light.

But some people hide in their homes, praying that they will not be chosen.

Another day has come. Above the clouds, the morning light slowly rises from the eastern sky.

"Dong..."

Early in the morning, the people of the Holy City suddenly discovered that the bells of the cathedral, which had not sounded for many years, were rung.

The dull bells echoed over the city one after another, making people wonder what happened.

But for the soldiers of the Knights Templar, this was a signal to go to war.

On the west wall, surrounded by a group of senior officers, Peggy boarded a large spaceship docked at the dock.

This dock is very large. At a glance, there are more than 20 spaceships neatly docked at the dock.

There are countless docks like this on the west wall, one every few hundred meters.

Coming to the bow, looking at the city view outside, Peggy said in a deep voice: "Order each knight group to set sail!"

With Peggy's order, there was only a "whoosh" sound, and a red flare rose into the air and exploded in the sky.

This is a signal, a signal to march. In the dim sky and earth, golden light suddenly lit up on the city walls on all sides.

There was no roar of engines, only the whistling of the cold wind, and in the groaning of wood, huge golden spaceships took off and flew southeast.

One, two, countless large and small spaceships, they were all over the sky of the Holy City, densely packed, and the Holy Shield disappeared because of their departure, clearing the airspace.

Without the Holy Shield, the sky was still golden...

Standing on the street, the people of the Holy City stared blankly at the strange phenomenon in the sky, they didn't know what happened.

As the spaceships flew away from the Holy City, in the sky outside the city in the southeast, thousands of large and small spaceships formed a huge fleet and moved slowly forward.

At a glance, the golden shadows of the ships were all over the airspace of dozens of kilometers, and the scene was extremely shocking.

Just after all the spaceships flew away from the holy city, in the cathedral, a huge column of light rose into the sky again, forming a shield in the sky, and the Holy Shield reappeared.

At the same time, in the North Sea east of the Holy City, on the endless snowfield, an "Avenger" class frigate quietly docked on the ice.

Suddenly, the warship started the engine, and the lift engine on the belly sprayed out a long blue-white flame.

The engine roared, the air waves rolled, and the warship slowly rose into the air in the rising snowflakes. When it rose to a hundred meters in the sky, the tail thrust engine started, spraying a long blue-white tail flame. The warship changed from rising to flying forward, and the speed became faster and faster, and finally flew into the extreme temperature layer in the southeast.

In the Chinese continent, in the Black Flag City, it was late at night.

In the bedroom on the thirteenth floor of the Governor's Mansion, on the bed, heavy breathing sounds intertwined.

The thin blanket was half wrapped around the two people, You Lan sat on Li Meng, with her hands on Li Meng's chest, dancing.

With the heavy breathing, crystal clear sweat overflowed from both of them.

Biting her lips lightly, You Lan looked at the man under her with seductive eyes, trying not to make any sound.

Seeing that Sister You was having a hard time holding back, Li Meng smiled slightly, patted You Lan on the waist, and said, "The room is well soundproofed, don't hold back, Yan'er can't hear it."

Giving Li Meng a blank look, You Lan didn't reply, but continued to twist her waist.
