Dickens heard the contempt in his commander's tone. He hesitated for a moment and carefully reminded him," General, please don't underestimate this Holy Church. This religion is not like the previous evil cults that swindle money and women. They can convert the vast majority of civilians in Kirsolo Bay into believers in such a short period of time. Even the Earl is paying attention to them. This is definitely not a simple religion."”
"Moreover, I heard that their Pope and Saintess are the messengers of God in the world. They can summon the wind and rain, summon thunder, and eliminate diseases. The Judgement Knights that protect the Holy Church can fight against hundreds of people. Recently, they have recruited many new knights. We should be careful.”
Gilbert shook his head in amusement and did not care at all." Dickens, my adjutant, even you were deceived by these rumors? I remember that there was a religion called the 'Revival Society' that deceived the commoners by saying that they could revive after they died. In the end, their president's head was cut off and made into a bone artifact. It was still a collection in a certain lord's house. The so-called miracle was just a trick to fool the commoners. As for the so-called Judgement Knights, I didn't even care about them. What could a group of rioters who had not undergone strict training do? If they were to fight head-on, the Silver Eagle Knights would definitely be able to kill them with a single charge.”
Dickens pursed his lips and did not say anything else. He knew Gilbert's arrogant personality, especially when he had rarely lost in the past. He had already become Count Pardrich's most trusted general at the age of 30, which further fueled his arrogance.
For some reason, Dickens had a bad feeling about this expedition. Perhaps, perhaps the glory of the Silver Eagle Knights would be lost in this crusade against the Holy Church.
The thought startled Dickens.
da da da
The sound of horse hooves came closer and closer. A few black shadows appeared on the horizon of the Pobuya Plain, and they quickly ran toward the Silver Eagle Knights.
These were the outposts that had been sent out to scout the way. After a while, they had already arrived in front of him. The leader of the small team reported loudly," Reporting to the general, a large number of cavalry has been discovered five miles ahead. There are about 1,000 of them.”
Gilbert raised his eyebrows in surprise.”
"They are riding white horses and wearing silver armor. Looking at the pattern on the flag, it seems to be the symbol of the Holy Church."”
"I thought I would only be able to enter Kirsolo Bay tomorrow, but this mob actually came knocking on my door. Good, very good!”
Gilbert smiled coldly and suddenly lifted the reins in his hand. Turning his horse around, he faced the three thousand soldiers of the Silver Eagle Knight Regiment and said loudly," Warriors of the Silver Eagle Knight Regiment, according to the original plan, we will set up camp after advancing five miles, rest for the night, and set off again tomorrow morning. I didn't expect that the target of our crusade this time would actually be in formation five miles away, and it's just a mere thousand cavalry. Tell me, what should you do?”
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
The members of the Silver Eagle Knight Regiment raised their spears and shouted in unison. They were elite soldiers who treated the battlefield like a bed. They had seen blood and killed people. Their shouts were really earth-shattering and murderous.
"Brave warriors, your imposing manner has shocked me. Let me tell you very responsibly that there are not a thousand people in front of us, but a thousand military merits. We have a total of three thousand ferocious soldiers here. Whoever cuts off the enemy's head will get the military merits.”Gilbert pointed forward and laughed loudly.
The members of the Silver Eagle Knight Regiment couldn't help but laugh when they heard this. No one put the Judgement Knights of the Holy Church in their eyes, even though they were dressed like gods.
Without formal knight training, how powerful could a knight regiment that had been established for less than a month be? In the eyes of these people who had fought through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, they were no different from a thousand lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
With a soft clang, Gilbert drew his knight's sword from his waist. The tip of the sword was facing the sky, and the blade shone with a cold light under the sunlight.
"Warriors, listen to my command and advance at full speed. Destroy the enemy before dark and cut off their heads!”
Five miles away, the Pope of the Holy Church, Kevin, and the Saintess, Olivia, were looking into the distance with the Judgement Knights.
The scouts of the Silver Eagle Knight Regiment naturally could not hide from them, who had already obtained extraordinary powers. Moreover, the loud shouts in the distance showed that the enemy was not far from them.
The reason why the Holy Church chose the Pobuya Plains outside of Kilsolo Bay was because almost all the people of Kilsolo Bay had become believers of the God of Light and Truth. They naturally didn't want the war to disturb these people. Moreover, the Pobuya Plains was vast and sparsely populated. If a war broke out, it could effectively avoid innocent casualties.
Kevin sighed softly." His Majesty the God of Light and Truth has given us extraordinary power to make good use of and bring hope and dawn to the world. I didn't expect that in less than a month, we would use this power to carry out a cruel war."
Olivia consoled him." Your Holiness, you've already done well. We didn't choose war, but war chose us. The only thing we can do now is to avoid this war. Even if it can't be avoided, we have to use the smallest number of casualties to make the other party retreat!”
"Your Excellency Saintess is saying, eh, they're here!”
Kevin smiled and was about to say something when he suddenly looked into the distance and changed his words.
In his line of sight, the black cavalry continued to form a wave. The horses 'hooves raised dust, and the flags fluttered in the wind. The eagles on them spread their wings and flew. The vast plains were trampled by thousands of horses' hooves, and a thunderous rumble sounded. It was as if thunder rolled on the ground, causing the earth to tremble. The vast and majestic momentum of the army made people tremble.
"It really is Earl Pardrich's most elite army, the Silver Eagle Knights.”Feeling the white horse under him digging up the soil with its hooves, Kevin slowly narrowed his eyes.
Boohoo
The ancient and desolate horn suddenly sounded, resounding through the heavens and the earth, echoing across the Pobuya Plains!
"This is the horn for the charge. They won't give us any room to negotiate!”Robin's expression changed as he gripped the Spear of Judgment tightly and shouted.
"In that case, I can only ask them to calm down."
Kevin took a deep breath, lowered his eyes, and opened the Holy Bible in his left hand!
