Chapter 619: The Unstoppable Road (Part 1)

When the boat slowly approached the old holy city along the river, the red bricks and blue tiles of the cathedral appeared little by little from the shadow of the trees.

Compared with the new church on the Hermes Plateau, it looks ordinary, with neither a magnificent chapel nor a towering Babel tower. On a single scale, it may not be as magnificent as the churches in the capitals of the four kingdoms, but in the minds of most believers, this ancient and majestic building, together with the monastery, martial arts arena, and arbitration office, constitute the gods' underground palace.

It symbolizes the source of the church, the beginning of everything.

Isabella scoffed at the idea.

They will never know that the interior of the mountain behind the cathedral is the place where the church originated.

As for the old holy city?

It's just a cover for deception.

After the sailboat arrived at the pier, Isabella walked down the trestle in light clothes, and the guards who came to greet her couldn't help being stunned, "My lord, where are the other pure ones?"

"They will arrive in a day or two at night," she shrugged. "Your Majesty is in such a hurry, you must give them some time to arrange their funeral."

"But Master Zero..."

"She wants to see everyone," interrupted Isabella, "yes, but she doesn't want to see everyone at the same time."

The recall order this time is really incomprehensible. In this way, the church is equivalent to giving up control of Dawn. Without the supply of medicinal liquid, the king will die in an endless sleep. She didn't understand why Zero would suddenly change the plan she had made before, and there was no explanation in the will.

She was looking more and more like the real Pope, Isabella thought with a little displeasure.

Even so, she set off immediately after receiving the order and spent a week rushing back to Hermes.

"By the way, do you know what happened to the Holy City?" When boarding the carriage, Isabella looked back at the guards behind her.

"The church's advance army and the Graycastle army fought at the foot of Coldwind Ridge," the latter hesitated. "You should ask Master Zero for the specific situation."

"Could it be... the advance army lost?"

The imperial guard didn't reply, but nodded imperceptibly, then stepped on the horse, and shouted at the coachman, "Let's go!"

Isabella lowered the curtains of the carriage, feeling full of doubts.

There is no doubt that there must be a large number of God's Punishment Army in this advance army. Only when the God's Punishment Army suffers losses, will the church's top leaders react.

However, God's Punishment Warriors are not immortal, and they will still be damaged when faced with some damage beyond their ability to bear. Since the attack on Eternal Winter, the holy city has lost nearly a hundred extraordinary fighters one after another. She thought that Jieluo was used to it, but now it seems that it is not the case. The question is, how serious were the losses in this battle that made Zero decide to recall all the Pure Ones?

The carriage drove through the bustling streets of the Old Holy City, and came to a camp near the cliff. This place is heavily guarded, not much worse than the cathedral. Isabella got out of the carriage, stepped into a tunnel dug along the mountain wall, passed through multiple iron gates, and walked into the mountain.

Under the cold light of the divine stone prism, the majestic outline of the Privy Temple appeared in front of her eyes.

Under the guidance of the guards, she went straight to the library on the top floor, and pushed open the door of the ring hall. The current pope was standing by the window and looking out, looking ecstatic.

"It seems that you have hit a hard bone, and you can't even take care of the Kingdom of Dawn," Isabella walked to Zero and whistled, "But no matter what, at least we must leave the lady and Heisha there Are you stabilizing the situation?"

Zero didn't answer, but pointed to the figure below the temple and said, "What do you think they look like?"

Isabella frowned, "Does this have something to do with the question I asked?"

"Small, ignorant, busy all day without knowing why I am busy, just like ants," she said to herself, "the gods probably see us this way... throwing ourselves into the bloody battle ignorantly, and then dying in a daze, It is impossible to know what the whole world looks like until you reach the top. Fortunately, now I am one step closer to God's will."

"What on earth are you thinking?"

"As long as I can devour the new king of Graycastle, I will be 50% more likely to win the battle of divine will." Zero raised the corner of her mouth, her eyes shone with a light she had never seen before, "I have a vague feeling... It was the gods who sent him to me."

After being silent for a while, Isabella said in a deep voice, "I just want to know how much the God's Punishment Army lost in the battle at the foot of Cold Wind Ridge?"

"One hundred and fifty people died in battle, and another eleven died on the way back to the holy city," Zero looked at her with burning eyes, "but the enemy was almost unscathed, no matter whether it was a giant shield or a spear, they could not threaten Roland The defense line of the army."

Isabella's heart suddenly set off a huge wave. Can the number of people lost by the God's Punishment Army exceed the sum total of capturing Eternal Winter and Wolf Heart, plus defending the Moon of Demons? How could a Prince of Graycastle possess such powerful power?

witch? knight? No, they are not worth mentioning at all. Even the mighty hell beasts will die under the siege of the God's Punishment Warriors. She can't imagine how the other party can do this.

"A terrifying snow powder weapon," Zero seemed to see through her thoughts, "it can be used by ordinary people, with a range of more than a thousand steps, and its power can easily break through plate armor and iron shields. There is almost no shooting gap. Our people are completely been targeted."

After listening to the whole process of the battle, Isabella took a deep breath, her face was uncertain, and it took a long time before she said, "So you lost."

"It is indeed a setback for the church, and Solly Dahl's judgment is too hasty"

"No, I don't mean fighting," she interrupted, "I mean what we talked about before, only the one who wins is God's favorite, and now it seems that that person is not you."

"Do you think... Roland Wimbledon is more likely to win God's smile than me?" Zero said calmly.

"Don't forget our purpose!" Isabella couldn't help raising her voice, "Defeat the devil and let mankind continue. As for whether it is done by the church, I don't care at all! With all the power, defeating and devouring Roland, what good is it for this purpose? His army and witches will be slaughtered, and there will be only a few people left in the God's Punishment Army. Then? In less than half a year, that is A new round of evil moon!"

For a moment, she even thought that Zero would kill her, but until the end, the other party didn't respond.

"Then what do you want me to do?"

After a long silence, the pope asked softly. (to be continued...)
