Chapter 333

So take action.

In the current northern border, the cult power is not very strong overall.

Although you can occasionally see some struggles, natural disasters, nurturing or evil Mother Goddess in the corners, the number is decreasing overall.

One is because of the operation of the Celestial School in the North.

Another is due to the migration of the Scourge and the God of Strife to the South.

After finally making this land a little cleaner, Karin and Bishop Kahn naturally could not tolerate the re-invasion of the Scourge Corps.

Karin is now arresting some natural disaster believers or skeletons who have sneaked into the United North and will not let them send information back.

It's spring and summer now, and the weather is hot.

Karin dismounted and ordered the Paladins and priests behind her to enter the town to rest.

"Let's go into town," Karin ordered.

There was a little cold and quiet in the town.

Many citizens became mercenaries, while many villagers were brought to the battlefield as recruits.

There are few jokes about the remaining elderly, weak, women and children, as well as a small number of guards.

War is often not a good thing for both citizens and villagers.

As mercenaries, citizens may be able to gain some benefits from the battlefield, but recruiting soldiers is pure consumables.

And once they die, their families will lose their important labor force.

A family will go into poverty or even be destroyed.

Therefore, most people in towns are not in a good mood.

After all, there is still glory to be said for the death of the knight in battle. The recruitment of soldiers and mercenaries, even if they die, even the pension depends on the lord's mood.

Especially when recruiting soldiers, if they are killed, they will die.

Paladins and priests are a little uncomfortable with such towns.

They were used to this because it was like this in the past.

But after staying in the crescent moon collar, especially after staying in the resort for a long time, I feel a little uncomfortable.

This town has a small chapel of the Torch Church's Newborn School.

After Karin entered the town, she arranged the residence of the Paladin and the priest with the help of the bishop of the chapel.

The bishop of the chapel did not know that Karin was the King of Canhong, but he knew that this blind nun was of high level and respected Karin very much.

After entering the church, under the leadership of the bishop of the Torch Church.

Come to the depths of the church.

Flip the mechanism.

The door opens deep.

Some people came out and were believers from the Mother Goddess.

The cooperation model discussed with Rand has begun to be implemented.

The Torch Church's chapel is also the residence of missionaries of the Mother God's sect.

For example, the Torch Church chapel in this town is this model.

The teachings of the torch church can be accepted by local lords.

Then, private goods are contained in the doctrine of the Torch Church, and the believers and missionaries of the Mother Goddess are allowed to preach and act under the cover of the Torch Church.

After that, there will be a caravan controlled by the Earl of Moon Phase to go to the Torch Church's stronghold to dump the goods at the den, help the stronghold to deliver letters, and even transport weapons and armor.

This model has gradually begun to operate in the Frost Moon Kingdom and some surrounding northern countries.

The entire model mainly relies on transportation, such as the Road of Specialties and the Road of Kings. There are many aristocratic territories around these two roads, similar to the joint strongholds of the Birth Sect and the Mother God Sect.

In addition to affecting local beliefs, such strongholds will also be responsible for collecting some intelligence.

This will form the third set of intelligence system for den forces.

The other two sets of intelligence systems of the den power are Rand's current aristocratic intelligence network of the Black Brown Marquis family, as well as the intelligence delivered to him by the Earl of the Bucks and the Grand Duke of Thorns.

and the espionage system controlled by Elsa.

Now Karin is searching for the Scourge Cultists in the Frost Moon Kingdom, and the intelligence network used is the result of the three intelligence systems working together.

Of course, it also needs to include some of the intelligence forces left by the Torch Church's Newborn Sect in the Frost Moon Kingdom, but most of these have been incorporated into the stronghold system.

"Are there any suspicious characters?" Karin asked the local bishop in the church.

The bishop handed Karin a scroll.

Karin squinted her eyes after watching it.

It has to be said that the cooperation between the Newborn Sect and the Mother God Sect is a magical step.

After cooperation, both sides ushered in huge strengthening.

The real 1+1>2 is now.

Rand's influence is actually increasing day by day in the Frost Moon Kingdom. It is not only the mastery of intelligence, but also the power of Rand in the future.

Looking back now, Rand should have made some arrangements long ago.

No wonder the Frost Moon Kingdom has started fighting, and Rand is not very happy all day long.

It is estimated that many of these recruits and mercenaries sent to the battlefield are Rand's potential power.

It is estimated that it will be consumed by the nobles now.

...

The battle of Frost Moon Besieged City has been delayed for a long time.

The first wave of fierce attack was tested and it was completely confirmed that it was impossible to capture it in a short period of time.

It's a long period of procrastination.

The catapults of this era are not very accurate and powerful.

It may be a big killer for ordinary castles or cities, but for Frost Moon King City, the effect is not very obvious.

And that is, the Royal City Sect can repair the city walls.

If we cannot attack continuously, the people in the royal city will be overwhelmed.

The damage to the city wall caused by the catapult will soon be restored by the craftsmen of the Frost Moon King City.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to slowly smash the stones by relying solely on the catapult cart to create huge gaps in the city walls.

So the intensity of the attack by the queen has always been quite high.

The Queen even specially selected a group of soldiers without night blindness.

He attacked fiercely all night.

Endless and endless.

Fight fiercely.

The Royal City Sect sent a team of knights to wander outside the city, which was very clever.

but.

"They shouldn't have much supplies." Zon said coldly and tiredly in the military camp sent by the queen.

All the villages around the royal city have either been collected into the royal city or have been destroyed by the queens's sect.

After the queen sent a siege to the city, she still attacked fiercely without stopping.

This left the Knights outside the royal city without the chance to return to the royal city to replenish supplies.

If you can only replenish local supplies, there will be only some forest berries and animals around you.

There may also be some violent monsters and monsters.

But the overall number will not be large.

There will not be much room left for these Knights to replenish.

To be honest, it is already very good that the Knights can persist until now and constantly obstruct the Queen's siege.

Zorn was not the commander-in-chief of the Queen's army, and he was far from qualified.

But he is already the representative of the young and strong sect in the Queen's Sect.

Now responsible for the offense on the front line.

In the army, a new commander progresses very quickly.

Zon of the Hound Family is now a resounding name.

Zorn gradually became sophisticated and indifferent.

The Queen's faction has been on the storm for several months.

The battle that started after spring plowing has now reached the end of summer.

Autumn is coming.

Of course, the Queens faction was ready to attack for several years, and had such determination.

But no one wants to hit that point.

Unfortunately, I haven't found a good opportunity yet.

"Are we going to annihilate them?" A military noble who was barely considered a young and strong school but had not attended church school spoke.

At the military meeting, the queen sat in the head seat, the first one on the right was the third prince, and the other military commanders ranked according to their status.

"Yes." Zon nodded.

There is no good way to attack the royal city now.

But there is finally some way to do this Knights that have been disgusting them.

Now the Knights of the Royal City Sect must focus more on obtaining supplies, or find opportunities to return to the Royal City to replenish supplies.

These will all become opportunities for the queens.

As for the others, we can only continue to fight.

The Queen's attack intensity has always been very high.

Neither the mental pressure nor the physical pressure on both sides will be very small.

It depends on which side can hold on.

...

In the early autumn, finally, the Queens Sect seized the flaws of the Knights who were wandering outside the royal city.

Zorn personally took people to hunt.

The sky was gloomy, and the heavy lead clouds pressed down the entire sky, as if a heavy rain would pour out at any time. The muddy path winds forward, extending to a blurred wood at the end of sight.

The Knights' team marched extremely slowly, and each war horse was as if it was deeply trapped in the mud, and the horse's hooves made sticky sounds. The armor no longer shines, and the heralds that originally represented honor were covered with soil and blood, and the original colors were almost impossible to see clearly.

Every knight's face was filled with fatigue. The leather under the neck guard became stiff due to the soaking of sweat, and the iron armor on the shoulders made a slight creaking, as if protesting every move of the master.

Even their long swords—the sharp weapons that had tear apart the enemy’s formations on the battlefield—hanged weakly on the waist, the scabbard was covered with dust, losing its former luster.

"It's almost time to reach the royal city." The leader of the Knights spoke comforting, "The group of people who followed the third prince recently have weakened their offensives. I think they are not comfortable, so we will have a chance."

The Knight Commander's words were not much convincing.

They had to return to the royal city to replenish supplies, but if they wanted to enter the royal city, they had to cross the front line of the queen's faction.

And the meaning of approaching the royal city is that danger is approaching.

They are in a bad state.

The atmosphere in the team became even more dull. Several knights exchanged glances with each other, but no one spoke. The servant beside him coughed in a low voice, but no one noticed it.

Supplies have long been exhausted. Yesterday, they ate the last piece of dry food that was as hard as a stone, and only a few drops of water left in the water bag, and the taste became sour due to long-term storage. Some people suggested hunting hares on the roadside, but at this moment even the traces of hares became a luxurious fantasy.
