Chapter 1175: Cross-Border Channel, Battle for Exit (I)
(Chapter 1170, the title chapter number is wrong!)
It has been a long time since the Holy See’s last attack on the Kunsa Realm failed.
It has been more than five hundred years.
During this period of time, the Black See also calmed down and concentrated its efforts on developing science and technology, while also frantically expanding its fleet.
Today, the Crusaders, which serve as the main force, have more than a hundred legions, and the number of the secondary believers, which serve as auxiliary forces, is even greater.
However, the progress in technology has not been that great.
Under the influence of the Vatican civilization, almost everyone's thoughts are restricted to the greatest extent, so that scientific and technological research and development is very slow.
In this regard, the Black and White Church, the birthplace of the Black and White Churches, did a good job.
Unlike these two, as mentioned before, the Black and White Church is affiliated with an imperial civilization called Hillbella.
In this civilization, although the Black and White Churches are powerful, they only exist as a state religion.
It’s not that the Black and White Church cannot replace the Imperial Royal Family, but that they are unwilling to do so.
Because they knew very well that once they replaced the royal family and made the entire civilized population religious, their thoughts would be confined by faith and technological development would come to an end.
Therefore, the Black and White Church and the royal family of the Hillbella Empire reached a tacit understanding.
All technological repositories of the Empire are open to the Holy See, and the Holy See is fully supplied with the military equipment it needs. The Holy See will not interfere with the royal rule over the Empire, and will not force ordinary people in the Empire to believe in the Lord of Darkness.
In this way, the Vatican is the Vatican and the empire is the empire.
The royal family naturally likes a church that will truly protect the security of the empire but will not replace it.
As a result, the Holy See was responsible for cultivating high-level combat forces, while the Empire was responsible for researching and developing technology, and a perfect balance was achieved.
That is why, even though they are one of the sweepers deployed by the Black Cavity Consciousness, both the civilization of the Hillbella Empire and the force of the Black and White Church can rank among the top three among the sweepers.
You can even regard this one civilization as two civilizations.
Okay, that’s getting off topic.
In short, under the order of Pope Tenahua, all the crusaders of the Third Holy See took action.
Twenty legions of the Crusaders, plus fifty legions of the Believers, a total of seventy legions headed towards the location warned by the Black and White Holy Scripture.
In addition to the seventy legions under the Third Church, all the surrounding crusaders who can arrive within a hundred years are also heading here.
——
One year later.
Perhaps it was because the last time the White Church invaded, the Canglong Alliance had a burst of luck and blocked him in the passage and beat him up.
This time, the unlucky party turned out to be the Canglong Alliance.
The Third Church's army arrived just one day before the Blue Dragon Alliance's army arrived.
Reached the invasion point!
Under the command of Cardinal Velos, the army immediately deployed a hemispherical defense line at the entrance of the passage with the scale of ten legions.
The remaining sixty legions were assembled behind the defense line as a reserve force.
Anyone who comes out of the passage will be directly blocked by crossfire.
The next day.
The army of the Canglong Alliance arrived as expected and appeared from the passage.
However, it was not the federal fleet that took the lead, but the god-level civilization legions that surrendered to the Alliance when it unified the Kunsa Realm.
Each of their civilizations sent out a legion, totaling 26 legions, which will serve as the vanguard this time.
As the vanguard, they were blocked at the entrance of the passage. As soon as they came out, they were stunned by the powerful cross fire.
"Archbishop Velos, according to our database comparison, this should be a pagan group called the Sea Breeze Alliance in the Kunsa Realm!"
In the huge mobile church, a purple-robed cardinal reported respectfully to Velos.
Although Archbishop Elisher had failed in his attack on the Kunsa Realm, he had destroyed two weak god-level civilizations before the failure and obtained enough intelligence from their databases.
Therefore, the Black Church has quite detailed intelligence on the god-level civilizations such as the Kunsa Realm.
"That pagan civilization that was judged to be extremely weak?"
Hearing this, Velos frowned slightly.
He had also read the intelligence about the god-level civilizations in the Kunsa Realm.
Take the Sea Breeze Alliance for example. Even in the Kunsa Realm, it is one of the weakest god-level civilizations.
However, Velos did not believe that such a weak civilization could have the ability to cross the black cavity wall.
This is probably just cannon fodder pushed forward by the real protagonist?
After a little thought, Velos came up with a relatively reasonable explanation.
"Send a message to His Holiness the Pope, and tell him that the people coming are from the Sea Breeze Alliance in the Kunsa Realm, but they are most likely cannon fodder that was withdrawn, and the real boss has not yet appeared!"
"Yes, Archbishop Velos!"
The fierce battle at the entrance continues
Ten minutes.
Half an hour.
One hour
Although there were no mistakes, the Sea Breeze Alliance's army was suppressed by the Crusaders at the entrance of the passage and was unable to recover.
However, Velos noticed something was wrong.
Although I did suppress them completely, there is nothing wrong with that.
But are their warships much stronger than what is recorded in the intelligence?
"Are you sure this is the Sea Breeze United fleet?"
"Yes, the emblem on the hull of its warship is consistent with the emblem of the Sea Breeze Union in our intelligence!"
"What about battleship matching?"
"No match was found. After all, the intelligence sent back by Archbishop Elisher was only from the edge of the Kunsa Realm. The information extracted from the databases of the two weak civilizations was not necessarily comprehensive."
“That’s true, but.”
Although what his subordinates said was correct, the attack and defense capabilities of this battleship were already comparable to the battleships of the four major empires in the Kunsa Realm according to the intelligence, right?
One of the weakest civilizations?
Stop kidding!
Either the original intelligence was wrong, or the Sea Breeze Alliance obtained warships from the four major empires and then printed their own emblems on them.
I have to say, Velos really guessed right this time.
Today, the Federation is the largest arms dealer in the Kunsa world. It is equipped with the eighth-generation black cavity engine for export and is built using the technology of the Federation's previous generation of battleships.
In terms of speed, even the Black Empire cannot match it.
From the perspective of battleship performance, it is slightly stronger than the battleships of the four major empires.
As a result, the Black Church, which has an absolute advantage in military strength and terrain, has only suffered a casualty ratio of about 1:120 so far.
Unlike the previous battle between the Federation and the White Church using new warships, the same attack and defense battle at the entrance of the passage directly resulted in a casualty ratio of over 1:10,000.
——
Soon, a day passed.
With the Black Church in complete control of the situation, an entire army of the Sea Breeze Union was destroyed.
And when the Sea Breeze United Fleet was wiped out, the second legion began to pour out of the passage one after another.
Velos was a little dumbfounded.
Is this another civilization?
