Although the manual communication method Fangzheng used was very old, it was still very useful. Knight Conan rushed to the Order Fortress as fast as he could and reported the situation of the stronghold at the rear to his superiors. The Order Fortress was also shocked after receiving Knight Conan's report. In fact, because they had lost contact with the stronghold at the rear, the Order Fortress had guessed that something might have happened at the rear, but they did not expect the situation to be so serious.
Not to mention, the situation of the Order Fortress itself was not good either.
Because this year's demonic beast disaster was already too much for them to resist!
Not only was the number and intensity of the demonic beast disaster several times greater than in previous years, but there were also three Lord-level demonic beasts among the army attacking the Order Fortress this time!
It was precisely because of these three Lord-level demonic beasts that the Order Fortress did not dare to send any more people out to explore the unknown situation. The two powerhouses in charge of the Order Fortress were also at their limits. They were tied down by the three Lord-level demonic beasts and could not leave at all.
After learning about the situation, the Order Fortress immediately sent a small team to break through the blockade and seek support from the rear.
After learning about the situation in the Order Fortress, the Holy Cathedral was greatly shocked!
The Order Fortress was the only barrier protecting the North. If the Order Fortress really fell, the entire North would be in trouble when the demonic beast disaster marched straight in!
Under such circumstances, the Holy Cathedral immediately withdrew all the combat forces they could muster in the North and sent them all to the Order Fortress, hoping to be able to resist the terrifying demonic beast disaster. But when it rains, it pours. The Northern Holy Cathedral headquarters finally gathered the reinforcements and sent them away. Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief, but Shi Dong's request for help came again.
The Holy Cathedral felt another headache when they saw Shi Dong's request for help.
Bella the Six-armed Serpent!!
The demonic beast disaster was naturally a problem, but the Six-armed Serpent Lord, Bella, was equally famous and frightening. In fact, when the higher-ups of the Holy Cathedral heard this name from the Pegasus Knight, they almost wet their pants in fear! Although they did not know why the cultists were collecting Bella's statue, how could the cultists do anything good?
Not to mention at this critical juncture, coupled with the abnormal attack on the Order Fortress ….. the thick scent of a conspiracy brewing couldn't be any more obvious.
But the Holy Sanctum couldn't do anything about it. The Country of Saint was a huge country and naturally had an army. However, these troops were used to maintain stability in various places and could not be mobilized easily. Also, the Northland Alliance was not connected to the Kingdom of the Saint, so it could be considered as an enclave of the Kingdom of the Saint. Although the Kingdom of Saint also had jurisdiction over the Order Fortress, it was only limited to the Order Fortress.
Taking a step back, the Holy Cathedral would not be able to gather enough troops in a short period of time. Even if they managed to gather enough troops, they would not be able to reach the Northland Alliance through the teleportation portal. It was like an army of a superpower landing in the hinterland of a foreign country. It was almost like an outpost of a war!
Besides, distant water cannot put out a nearby fire. Who knows how long it will take for the Kingdom of Saint to gather reinforcements. By that time, the daylilies would be long gone.
Fortunately, the Holy Cathedral was not inflexible.
I didn't expect the Holy Cathedral in this world to be so flexible.
Fangzheng was speechless as he looked at the messily dressed warriors in front of him. In fact, only half of the reinforcements brought back by the pegasus knight were warriors of the Holy Cathedral and pegasus knights. The rest ….. were mercenaries!
That's right. According to the pegasus knight, after the Holy Cathedral found out that they were short on manpower, they directly went to the Mercenary Association and issued a request. The Holy Cathedral was a large organization, so they definitely did not lack money. What they lacked now was manpower. A problem that could be solved with money was obviously not a problem in the eyes of the Holy Cathedral.
This time, the reinforcements sent by the Holy Cathedral were 10 pegasus knights and 10 mercenaries. This was because each pegasus could only carry a maximum of two people, and the Holy Cathedral did not have any more pegasus knights at the moment.
Fangzheng increasingly felt that the Holy Cathedral in this world was completely different from what he had imagined. His first impression of the Holy Cathedral came from Williams' memories, so it was not hard to imagine that a cultist would not have any impression of the Holy Cathedral of Order. During his short stay in the Holy Cathedral after that, Fangzheng only felt that it was similar to the religious sects he saw in novels or games.
But today, Fangzheng saw another side of the behemoth known as the Holy Cathedral. This huge organization did not seem to have a binary value system that was black and white. They did not think that they were good and righteous, and those who opposed them were evil. They also did not seem to attach much importance to certain identities and rules. They were flexible and used all the strength they could …. But when he thought about it carefully, it made sense. After all, the Holy Cathedral did not believe in justice, kindness, or light, but the God of Order.
But Order was never black and white.
"If we delay any longer, that destructive mage will definitely become suspicious. We must act immediately."
The old bishop looked up at the sky. The Guiding Star was about to reach its predetermined position.
"I suggest we split up."
When it came to fighting, Shi Dong was probably the only expert here.
"Those flies above our heads are really annoying. I suggest the Pegasus Knights disperse and eliminate those little demons first, then while they're in chaos, the troops on the ground will rush in and completely destroy their ritual."
It was a coordinated air and ground attack.
"Then the Pegasus Knights will be responsible for dealing with the little demons. Leave the enemies on the ground to the mercenaries."
The old bishop quickly made a decision. There was not enough time to waste.
"Sir Shi Dong, you'll lead the Pegasus Knights. Then the mercenaries on the ground …."
"Leave it to me."
At that moment, Fangzheng raised his hand and stepped forward. Of course, he had seen Shi Dong signal him to join him in the air attack, but Fangzheng rejected the suggestion after some thought. To be honest, the Pegasus Knights of the Holy Cathedral were good at everything, except that they were a little too military-like. This made Fangzheng feel uncomfortable fighting with them. On the contrary, the mercenaries gave him a sense of familiarity. It was like meeting new teammates in a random party.
Besides, most mercenaries were very carefree and did not care about small details. If Fangzheng was forced to use some power, it would be easy to fool them. But if he was under the watchful eyes of the Pegasus Knights, it would be much more difficult.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Sir Fangzheng."
The old bishop glanced at Fangzheng and made up his mind. He stretched out his hand and took out a crystal the size of a finger from his pocket.
"This is a communication crystal. It can be used to bypass any communication blockades within a short distance. I know that you have a unique way of communicating with the angel, so I hope that you can use this crystal to report the situation of the angel to us. I'll leave the mercenaries to you. I'll bring the remaining people to support from the side."
The old bishop quickly finished his sentence and handed the transmission crystal to Fangzheng. Then, he turned around and glanced at the little fiendish demon. The little fiendish demon under the old bishop's control immediately got up and flew into the night sky.
"I've already controlled it. When it returns, it will tell the destructive mage that the person he's waiting for was attacked by a pack of wolves in the forest, so he's a little late. I think this will delay him for a while, but not for too long."
"Very well."
Hearing the old bishop's words, Shi Dong nodded, then he glanced at Fangzheng.
