The priest looked solemn, and the knight charged with gritted teeth. Regardless of the outcome, the two sides in the life-and-death struggle will inevitably suffer large-scale casualties.

And the two sides are the elite of their respective forces, not the elite of soldiers, but the elite of the ruling class themselves.

The land knights under the command of Prince Gresta, formal knights look inconspicuous, in fact, every land knight is a viscount with a vast fiefdom, and is the real lord of hundreds of miles. Apart from serving a certain amount of time each year in military service and contributing a certain amount of property each year, the affairs of the territory and everything else belong to them.

Formal knights are also similar, except that the territory is much smaller than that of the viscount, and most of them only have manors with a radius of tens of miles. Except for the need to provide certain services and financial contributions to their lords, the king and the higher-level lords and nobles do not need to pay attention. These people are the real ruling class, not big soldiers who can be sacrificed at will.

This time Prince Gresta was able to command such an elite army because the church wanted to unify and establish a centralized and independent country, and the magic council that adopted the national policy of mage supremacy also threatened the foundation of their existence. That's why regardless of the risk of increasing the imperial power, he gathered the elite in his hands under the command of the imperial family.

However, if these elites, these noble knights with actual titles and territories are buried here, the emperor of the empire must avenge the church for them, because this is related to the foundation of governance. The same is true for the church. Those who hold direct power must hold power. These pastors who hold powerful power are also high-level in the church. They are not big soldiers who can sacrifice for the overall situation. Their deaths must also have a convincing explanation.

"stop."

"Stop!"

When the priest's ball of holy light was about to hit the knight, and the point of the knight's charging spear was about to pierce the priest's forehead, two figures appeared in the sky and stopped their troops at the same time.

Not only the words, but the holy light filled the mouth as he spoke. A wall of light appeared in front of the priest, deflecting the charging knights away. For a while, the horses were turned on their backs and the horses were broken, but the casualties were not serious. On the other side, when the priest's corrosive holy light ball was about to approach the heads of many knights, it was cut off by a water-colored sword light, and the overwhelming attack was completely empty.

"Cass, the Sky Knight? Your people dare to attack the Lord's shepherds, and they must be sentenced to death."

Above the head of the pastor of the church, an old man in a golden robe with white hair but extremely firm and bright eyes scolded.

"Meet your lord St. Thomas!"

When Bishop Oli and the others saw the old man, they immediately saluted excitedly, like children seeing idols.

There are two possibilities for a person with "Holy" in his title. One is that he was bestowed by the Pope himself after making an indelible contribution to the church, adding the word "Holy" to his and his family's surname.

The number of such people is very small, and often in the history of the church's development, the church has fallen into a crisis that is huge enough to perish, and only those who turn the tide can get such a title.

The other kind is relatively more, as long as the strength reaches the level equivalent to that of a sky knight on the knight side and a moon-level mage on the magic side, and devotes his whole body and mind to the Lord, a person who becomes a priest of the Holy Light will be able to write in his own name. Add a word 'Holy' in front of it.

It's just that you can't add this title to your family name and pass it on to your descendants.

The former kind of people have already been inspired by the Lord to serve the Lord. Such a holy figure has not yet been born in this era. This St. Thomas should be the latter.

"Good morning, Lord Cass."

On the other side, Prince Gresta also bowed respectfully to the people above the sky with reverence on his face.

Even if he is the emperor's son, he must show his respect to a sky knight who is similar to the Jindan cultivator. He is the gift of the younger generation, and those who have great power cannot be insulted.

Compared with the majestic and sacred image of St. Thomas opposite, Sky Knight Cass is a disheveled,

The image of a romantic man covered in lipstick, he heard St. Thomas's words and said indifferently:

"Oh, that's how it is.

Then let's fight, I will kill you, and then I will kill your white trash called the Lord, and the matter will be resolved. "

When it came to insulting the gods, St. Thomas was really furious, and his beard and hair were full: "Heretic, if you dare to blaspheme the gods, your soul will be tortured for ten thousand years on the Weeping Wall, and you will never be freed forever."

Cass curled his lips, and said with disdain: "I will naturally respect the real gods, but this so-called god in your church, haha, this is a good joke."

"How dare you..."

"Okay, as you can see, I'm very busy, and there are many sad and frightened female mages who need my comfort, and I'm not interested in hearing what you, a bad old man, have to say.

If you plan to start a fight, I can also fight with you. If you don't want to, I will leave first. "

St. Thomas's face was livid, but for some reason, he suppressed his anger and said: "I will come to you after I break through the magic capital."

Then with a flash of golden light, his figure disappeared into the sky, and hundreds of elite priests also left slowly under the protection of layers of infantry who came after them as if they had received some kind of order.

The figure of the sky knight Cass appeared next to Prince Gresta. Compared with the slutty smile on his face when he was dealing with St. Thomas just now, his face is now cold: "Gresta, I hate trouble, don't do it in the future." If this happens again, I don't like fighting with monks of the same level outside the plan."

Prince Gresta couldn't help feeling cold, and explained: "They made the first move, I just..."

"It is your thing!"

Cass was filled with a heavy aura, and suppressed Prince Gresta who explained: "The empire has an empire plan, when and how to go to war, it is up to His Majesty, and we have to consider it.

All you have to do is obey, obey, understand? "

Gresta didn't dare to say any more: "Yes, Mr. Cass, I understand."

Even though he is the son of the emperor, he is nothing compared to a sky knight who has great power and communicates with His Majesty on an equal footing. If he really angered a sky knight, Prince Gresta has no doubts All your futures will be dimmed.

Cass' expression softened a little: "The empire has considerations of the empire, I know that the white trash on the opposite side is uneasy and kind, but a full-scale war is of great importance and cannot be taken lightly.

Once the war starts, let alone you, people of our level will die when they say death, there is no chance of luck. "

Cass Knight's thoughts are common among nobles, especially the upper class nobles. The church is hateful, the land and wealth controlled by the church are coveted, and the church's erosion of the rights that should belong to the lord is hated. .

But it's not worth it to let them throw everything away for these things, not enjoy the glory and wealth, and risk losing everything to fight desperately with those religious lunatics.

In contrast, the Emperor of the Empire is more aggressive, but His Majesty must also consider the thoughts of the knights and nobles under his command. Those who start the war without authorization and push them to the battlefield of cannon fodder will inevitably arouse great resentment, no matter what it means for Is it the best choice for the empire?

This involves a wide range of areas and involves a lot of life and resentment, let alone a mere prince, even His Majesty is unwilling to bear it.

Thinking of this, Prince Gresta was drenched in cold sweat: "Yes, Lord Cass, I understand. I will try my best to endure and not initiate a war.

We will sincerely cooperate with the church to destroy the magic council and fully obey the orders of the empire. "Cass nodded slightly: "War can be fought, but it can't be started by you. It's better to be provoked by the other side. You know the reason, a lot of people will die in this upcoming war, not just soldiers like ants, but all powerful nobles. "

Prince Gresta respectfully taught.
