Blasphemy: 11Destruction
Spring is already blooming in the southern country.
This was supposed to be a happy season, but people in the Rhine City were finally in a state of panic.
The reason why they were so depressed was the 150,000 Bavarian troops stationed outside the city.
Everyone believes that it is only a matter of time before the city is destroyed. The only thing that could bring some comfort to the people in the Rhine City was that there were two great magisters in the city. But Roscher's fiasco made everyone lose confidence. After all, in the large Rhine City at this moment, excluding the newcomers who were temporarily brought to the front line, there were only 20,000 regular defenders.
The end of the Bourbon dynasty is only a matter of time.
At this moment, in the military camp outside the city, the Grand Justice of Bavaria was sitting alone in the tent, reading the letter written by Catherine to him.
"Dear:
As you read this letter, you must be making final plans to end this battle under the Rhine City.
Compared with our 150,000 troops, Rhine City can almost be said to be an undefended city. There are only 20,000 regular troops there, and the more than 100,000 newcomers who were temporarily pulled to the front line will probably not be taken seriously by you. But we still have a very big trouble, that is Hierro and Lhasa.
I have watched carefully your great victory at Roscher. Consuming the magic power of the two magisters with constant attacks, relying on their strong personal combat power to eliminate the alien demons of the great warlock of Lhasa, and finally concentrating all their efforts to break through the city gate in one fell swoop... All tactics were executed so perfectly. Except for one thing, we allowed the two great magisters to successfully escape back to the Rhine City.
Dear, I know how difficult it is to trap the two great magisters. But this time in Rhine City, we can't let them escape successfully.
Capturing the Rhine City would mean the demise of the Bourbon dynasty. Originally, based on King Louis's nature, he would always take the two great magisters with him to protect his safety. But after the demise of the Bourbon dynasty, the situation was completely different. I think, dear, you know better than me how terrible the two great magisters who have regained their freedom are.
Our grand ducal palace in Lille may not be able to withstand a small magical baptism by the two great magisters. Although your strength is close to that of a strong man like Mr. Prosis, I am just an ordinary woman with no skills or magic at all. And I don’t think our blood crystals will have the ability to resist magic in the next ten years. The most important point is that even with your strength, you may not be able to escape from the Grand Mage's most terrifying magic. ”
Seeing this, the Archduke of Bavaria smiled bitterly. Of course he knew the true meaning of Catherine's letter. Whether facing Hierro or Lhasa, after the two great magisters cast their spells with all their strength, he actually had no chance of survival. The Grand Duke composed himself and continued reading.
"Dear, during this period of time, I have been up all night thinking about this matter. For this reason, I visited the respected Lord Augustus and many warriors and battle mages in the church temple. It makes me happy. Fortunately, these efforts were not in vain.
The scroll sent to you with this letter holds the key to the entire plan. The fact that terrifying magic scrolls like Meteor and Fire Shower can be purchased can not but be said to be the luck of the entire principality. In comparison, the price of five million gold coins is really insignificant.
Roschel's battle shows that you are fully capable of dragging down the two great magicians and determining their approximate locations. Then the next thing to do is to detonate the magic of this meteor shower around the two great magisters. Whether in terms of power or scope of action, this magic can be called the pinnacle of magic art. The only ones who will embarrass you are those principality warriors who are destined to be unable to escape the scope of magic. Maybe five thousand people, maybe more. But within the same range, there will also be a comparable number of enemy soldiers. As two great magisters, it was not an embarrassing thing to be buried with ten thousand warriors.
Master Hierro is famous for manipulating fire, lightning and other attack magic, and this meteor shower is just within the scope of his expertise. Although as far as I know, Master Iero's magic power is not yet able to cast such terrifying magic, but not many people know this. The lives of these ten thousand soldiers can be attributed to him. Fortunately, Master Hierro's reputation is not very good.
With your wisdom, you will definitely know how to choose. Next are some details, please don’t bother me.
You are the pioneer of the dynasty, and you need to always pay attention to your majesty and perfect image. Although my proposal is destined to be known only to a small circle of people, you are still not the right person to make it. In my opinion, David Rochelio is the most suitable person. He is young, ambitious, and has a thorny spirit that is known for his destructiveness. As for how to get him to come forward and propose this plan, it is not difficult.
There is no guarantee that the meteor shower will kill the two great magisters, but the next attack from the high-level magician may not be something they can withstand. The generous Pope has given you two templars and four battle mages. At this critical moment, it is the time to use them. The two great magisters, who were seriously injured, would have a hard time escaping their pursuit.
Finally, please pay attention to and reuse Kate, the leader of the Liontooth Knights. He is a clever snake. If there is still a glimmer of hope for the two great magisters, then I believe that this glimmer of hope will be killed by Kate.
Having said so much, you must be tired, right? In more than a month, it will be time for the crystallization of our blood to come to the world. By that time, you must have ended all wars and come to welcome his birth..."
The Grand Duke closed the letter, and a golden flame ignited in his palm, turning the letter into ashes.
He opened the exquisite small box on the table, revealing a magic scroll inside. Countless magic symbols that are shining and too small to be seen are flying around the scroll, showing how terrifying the magic of this scroll seal is.
The Grand Duke sighed and closed the lid of the box.
"Dark Night Dancers... Humph, you can actually buy such things, and they are still needed now. When the dynasty is first established in the future, it will be time to take action on them." The Grand Duke thought coldly. With.
He clapped his hands, called in an entourage, and ordered: "Go and ask Marshal Rocherio to come over, and tell him that I have something important to discuss."
If anything can prevent a desperate battle, it is the scourge of heaven and earth.
The clouds in the sky were spinning constantly, and they were frighteningly low, as if the pillars of the heavens had collapsed. The center of the vortex is less than a hundred meters away from the ground. Looking up at this time, it will make people feel that these thick clouds may fall down at any time.
As if the world has come to an end, the entire cloud layer is burning and rolling. The sky over the Rhine City was like a pot of boiling molten iron.
Countless meteorites, wrapped in flames, were roaring down from the center of the whirlpool of burning clouds, hitting the Rhine City hard, causing a wave of fire and thick smoke!
Within a radius of one thousand meters, it has completely turned into a **** of flames.
In hell, there are only flying rocks, fire waves, lava and Brahma wind. The originally majestic and towering city walls, countless houses in the Rhine City and tens of thousands of soldiers who were fighting to the death just now have disappeared, just as they have never been Nothing has ever been saved.
There are still meteors falling in the sky.
A total of nearly 200,000 troops above and below the Rhine City, as well as millions of citizens in the Rhine City, were standing still, silently watching this sudden disaster. A few people are still praying to gods in their hearts, but the hearts of most people are already blank and numb.
The Grand Duke of Bavaria and Marshal Rocherio stood on a high place outside the city, watching the flaming **** not far away. They both had expressionless faces and were completely unmoved by this scene.
Those who can survive in **** are the most tyrannical beings, or the most daring beings.
A stunning sword energy flashed through, and a bolide falling from the sky suddenly split into two halves and flew sideways.
Fiore's handsome face was also black and red at the moment, and was covered with soot. Looking at the two light **** in the distance that were still shining faintly, I felt resentful. He gritted his teeth and waved his sword, ready to rush over.
"Stop! Fiore, do you dare to disobey orders?" A tall middle-aged man behind him shouted, his voice full of majesty that could not be disobeyed.
"Lord Kumar! But..."
"We need to get Rafa and the others out of this hellish place alive! Without you, all four of us will die here." The man named Kumar said coldly. His mood seemed completely unaffected by the hellish circumstances.
Fiore looked at the three unconscious colleagues who fell on the ground and hesitated slightly.
"If you kill all four of us, you can monopolize the power of killing the two magisters. Of course, the premise of all this is that Sir Fiore, your actions can gain His Majesty the Pope's understanding. . What's more, I say bluntly, although the two great magisters are close to exhaustion of magic power, with the strength you have just joined the temple, if you attack them head-on, the probability of success is not more than 30%." Kumar did not give Feo any chance. Lei left no mercy.
Fiore was extremely angry. He stared at Kuma, and the hand holding the sword was trembling: "You self-righteous guys! Your own strength is useless, but the temple is being used by you **** who study military strategy. Hold on! Damn it! I almost succeeded, I'm not going to give it up!" Fiore, who has always been elegant, even cursed, and was obviously very angry.
Kuma said calmly: "You can complain to Lord Augustus about the structure of the church when you go back. My first goal is to protect the lives of every member of the church. We have tried our best, but we still can't kill them. These two great magisters. Now I think our operation has failed, and it’s time for those dead people to take action." He said, carrying one of the three unconscious Temple Battle Mage on the ground on his back, with his left and right hands on his back. Each of them took one in his arms and ran towards the outside of the Flame Hell.
Fiore was so angry that he couldn't help shouting! He knew that with Kuma's level 13 fighting spirit, this mere distance of 400 meters would be enough for him to die three or four times. He waved his long sword and jumped to Kuma's side like lightning. The sword light flashed continuously, and he chopped several incoming bolides into dozens of pieces like a catharsis.
There are six church members who secretly followed the Grand Duke on this expedition. Except for Fiore, who is a warrior who specializes in martial arts, the other four are all fourteenth-level battle mages. The actions of these six people are... It is commanded by Kumar who studies military strategy. Just the magic scroll that activates the meteor shower consumes all the magic power of a battle mage.
Not long after the meteor shower started, the remaining five members of the temple rushed into the flaming hell. However, it was only this time that these arrogant members of the temple truly realized the terrifying power of the Grand Mage.
Although they were seriously injured in the first wave of the most powerful meteor shower, after a thrilling magic battle, Hierro and Lhasa still beat the three temple battle mages unconscious. If it weren't for Fiore and Kumar guarding them, these three battle mages would have been cursed to death by Lhasa's shadow killer.
In front of the five temple members who were retreating in embarrassment, nearly a hundred figures were running towards them.
Faced with the rain of fire that filled the sky, although these people dodged, they refused to slow down. As if their lives were not their own, they rushed towards the two very conspicuous magical lights in hell. Just after halfway through the journey, one-third of the warriors were forever turned into ashes in the flames of hell.
"Bah! What a bunch of **** lunatics!" Fiore cursed with jealousy. He lowered his voice subconsciously, as if he didn't want them to hear. Even though he was far stronger than the Lion Tooth Knight, he still didn't want to mess with these desperadoes who only knew how to fight and kill.
The light of magic flashed again, but the sound of the explosion was completely obscured by the roar of the meteor.
"Old friend Hierro, how are you?" Lhasa's body was already in tatters, with several blackened wounds still emitting light smoke.
Hierro is not much better than Lhasa. He can only stand without falling with the support of a magic staff: "Reinhardt is so cruel! He even ignored the lives of his own soldiers and launched a meteor shower! Alas, and just now I can’t stand these people anymore.”
Looking at the dozens of corpses of Lion-Tooth Knights piled up like a hill ten meters away, Lhasa also sighed. "Old friend, can we still escape?"
Yero smiled bitterly and said: "I also have a magic of random teleportation. Unfortunately, we are like this. It is hard to say whether we can survive the teleportation process, and the distance will not be too far. But..." Although he did not say the following words Said, Lhasa also understands. The inability to teleport far means that it is difficult to escape from Prosis' pursuit.
"When the time comes, we split up and escape, and there is always a chance. The living people can take revenge." Lhasa said decisively.
A strange **** smell suddenly spread. On this battlefield filled with the smell of thick smoke and sulfur, the smell of blood seemed very strange.
Lhasa suddenly stopped talking. He looked at the tip of the gun protruding from his chest in disbelief. He raised his head with difficulty and saw a **** hole in Hierro's chest.
"Two masters, it seems that you have no chance to take revenge. Ten thousand warriors were buried with the two masters, which is already a great sight." Kate said softly, as if her whole body was shrouded in a cloud of blood.
"You..." Hiero pointed at Kate, blood couldn't help but pour out of his mouth, and he could no longer say the following words.
"I used the bodies of four comrades as shields to escape your fatal magic attack." Kate said calmly.
There was another whistling sound in the air.
Kate jumped up like lightning, raised his spear, and flew away the corpses of six Lion-Tooth Knights.
Kate spotted a large crater made by a meteor and jumped into it. Six corpses flying in the air fell into the pit one after another, covering his body.
Another terrifying wave of fire passed over the ground, turning everything on the ground into ashes...
Unlike the Rhine City, which was trembling in blood and fire, the Grand Duke's Palace in Lille was a scene of peaceful singing and dancing.
The news that the Bavarian army has completely surrounded the Rhine City has long since spread. Everyone knows that the demise of the Rhine League is not far away. The Grand Duchess's due date is at the end of next month, and by then, there will be a grand celebration in the principality.
The nobles were thinking about other things.
The Rhine City was captured this time, and the Principality of Ron can almost be regarded as the land of the Principality. Then, it is only a matter of time before the Grand Duke of Bavaria ascends to the throne. The great nobles attached to the Bourbons had fallen, and now was a good time to divide their territories and property. With the territory, their titles will be promoted naturally.
Katherine was sitting on the sofa, frowning slightly, flipping through the account book in front of her page by page. Her bulging belly could no longer be concealed by clothes.
On the ground in front of her, Franco was kneeling on the ground in panic, quietly waiting for the fate of this noble and perfect Grand Duchess. Since she took charge of the duchy, the citizens of the Duchy of Bavaria have fully appreciated her wisdom and justice. The noble and high-ranking officials were completely surrendered to her shrewdness, ruthlessness and power.
For more than half a year, the Grand Duke of Bavaria has been fighting everywhere, while she presided over the principal affairs of the principality. During this period, more noble ministers were guillotined than in the previous ten years combined. Catherine's famous saying is: "Confession may not avoid the guillotine, but the only destination for deception is the guillotine."
"Viscount Franco, I took a quick look and it seems that you are telling me the truth. Since you were responsible for a large part of the military supply, you have embezzled a total of 300,000 gold coins from the principality's treasury. . This is by no means a small amount, it can even send you to the guillotine more than ten times. But you handed this account book to me yourself, which really makes me embarrassed. What do you think I should do with you? "
"Dear Madam, I hand this account book to you because I feel uneasy in my heart. I have betrayed your trust, please feel free to punish me!"
Catherine closed the account, smiled slightly, and said: "Sir Franco, you are a very smart person. I know your intention of doing this very well. When small animals show their loyalty, they will put their best The weak points are exposed. But I am a moody woman. Are you not afraid that I will act according to the law and really send you to the guillotine?"
Franco was lying on the ground and couldn't see Catherine's face. Just listening to her tone, it was very peaceful and gentle, with a hint of arrogance that would make people thousands of miles away. It was the perfect tone for a noble woman. . But somehow, after listening to these words, Franco felt an indescribable chill in his body, and he couldn't help but tremble slightly. He couldn't help but regret whether he was too smart. If he resorted to this trick to save his life, would it be self-defeating?
Catherine handed the account book to the maid and said: "Sir Franco, the position of prosecutor of the principality is still vacant. Are you interested in taking over?"
Franco trembled again. He knew very well what kind of position a prosecutor was in. He will have great power in his hands, and he will also be in great trouble. In fact, he will play a very ruthless character. He is the sharpest butcher's knife in Catherine's hand, but the object of hatred of the aristocratic officials will turn from Catherine to him. By that time, he really had no way out.
Franco was sweating like rain and stammered: "Mrs. Catherine, I... my abilities are limited and I am completely unqualified... for this position."
There was silence in the room for a long time ~IndoMTL.com~ It felt like several years had passed.
Catherine finally spoke: "Since you don't want to, then I will choose someone else. You get up and concentrate on working for the principality from now on. The three hundred thousand gold coins will be left with you for the time being."
Franco stood up. His underwear was completely soaked in cold sweat and clung to his body, making him indescribably uncomfortable.
Catherine stretched out her hand to him, and Franco took the perfect slender hand and kissed the ring on her finger. He flicked the tip of his tongue and gently licked Catherine's slender fingers.
Katherine seemed completely unaware of this extremely explicit provocation.
Watching Franco's figure disappear outside the door, Catherine smiled faintly and thought to herself: "He is indeed a smart person, and he knows how to choose to use his weaknesses. I just don't know how long he can be smart."
Not only Franco, but all the nobles and officials in the principality were trembling with fear in front of the terrifyingly shrewd Catherine, not knowing when disaster would befall them.
Another little-known quote from Catherine is: A person who lives in fear often reveals his true weaknesses.
