Chapter 1,264 Divine Sacrifice, Old King Guser(1/3)
This war was of great significance to Archduke Jonathan.
News of the destruction of the great city of Lentax is spreading rapidly.
There have been many unfavorable rumors about him among the nobles.
These rumors greatly damaged Jonathan's prestige, causing the families under his command to defect to him to waver.
In addition to Lentax's incident, his policies towards the Tripole Church during this period also aroused dissatisfaction among some old-school aristocratic rulers.
It is no exaggeration to say that these are hidden dangers that may erupt.
The best way to solve this problem is to start a war.
This allows the cake on the table to be divided.
Whether it is the Lancaster family or the audacious Calamity Raven Church, there must be a reason.
War can not only demonstrate force but also achieve the redistribution of certain benefits.
It is undoubtedly an excellent way to restore authority.
Therefore, for Grand Duke Jonathan, there is a reason why this battle must be fought.
However, he can also see the Calamity Raven Church's plan.
That is to completely sack the giant city of Lentax, and then run back to Jackdaw Valley at lightning speed.
It is adjacent to the northern border, and the area is located in the buffer zone between the Kingdom of Swadia and the Kingdom of Vigia.
Standard three-nothing area.
For the Kingdom of Avalon, it is undoubtedly a remote place.
It is not an easy task for Archduke Jonathan to launch an expedition to Jackdaw Valley.
At the very least, it will require a series of complex coordination with the Kingdom of Swadia.
But from the territory of Avalon to Jackdaw Valley, it almost spans the entire Swadia.
Therefore, it is not easy to coordinate, which involves many local families and nobles.
Theoretically, it is impossible to negotiate without spending three to five years.
In other words, if the Calamity Raven Church really runs away, then this war will become a joke.
Not only was Jonathan unable to restore his honor, but he also suffered further loss of prestige.
However, according to the analysis of his staff.
The ice shell only blocks it, but cannot kill the giant city garrison guarding the second circle.
And according to the subsequent intelligence feedback, the Frost Bone Dragon with the strength of a demigod guard was missing.
Things seem to be getting a little weird.
The last piece of news came from yesterday, that is, the heretical apostles group surrounded by the ice shell began to dig out the ice shell.
This move was seen as a signal that the church was about to engage in a decisive battle with the garrison.
Logically speaking, the remaining garrison can last at least another day or two.
Also include the time it takes to transport the population and clean up the loot after the city is completely destroyed.
It will take at least seven or eight days to complete the operation of clearing the giant city of Lentax.
This is a guess made by the think tank based on the military strength of the Calamity Raven Church.
And it still takes into account the existence of the ultra-long-distance transmission channel.
But this is just theoretical speculation.
What makes Grand Duke Qiao Anshan feel uneasy is that since yesterday, none of the three hidden-winged bird scout teams sent out have returned.
This is a bad sign.
This means that the Calamity Raven Church discovered the existence of the scouts and carried out effective countermeasures.
And this situation means that variables may occur.
"We need to speed up the assembly."
Duke Jonathan Pendragon was dressed in military uniform, standing on the highest point of the great city of Dabos, thinking silently.
Departing from the giant city of Dabos, use the thousand-kilometer teleportation channel built by the space magician accompanying the team for transportation.
It would take at least two days to reach the outside of Lentax.
The assembly time also takes 2 to 3 days.
Originally, this time was very generous, but now it is not necessarily the case.
He has sent additional scouts for the third time, but there is still no feedback.
This made me feel a little anxious.
If the Calamity Raven Church hadn't made a big bet this time, it would have deployed at least three million troops.
Archduke Jonathan could send the more than two million cavalry he had assembled to set off first.
What you do now is delivering food.
The other party has opened up a long-distance transmission channel through the method of divine sacrifice, so there is no need to worry about supply lines.
Even after the giant city of Lentax turned into a world of ice and snow, it still had the advantage of the home environment.
It's not that he doesn't have enough troops.
But both assembling and marching take time.
And time is the key to all problems.
This situation gave him a very headache.
Standing on the high tower, he could almost have a panoramic view of the entire giant city of Dapos.
But this still couldn't make him feel better.
Just when he was feeling depressed.
A petite and beautiful girl dressed in black slowly came up behind him and hugged Jonathan's waist.
"Are you still worried about the heretics in the great city of Lentax and the Calamity Raven?"
The white arms just wrapped around his waist, and the soft body gave Jonathan some comfort.
The visitor is Mayfair Black Youlan, the former saint of the Three Extremes Church.
It was not essentially a gift from the church, or one of the bargaining chips used in exchange for the giant city.
These days, Grand Duke Jonathan has become addicted to Gentle Country and cannot extricate himself.
As a saint of the church, Mayfair can satisfy all his desires.
If Carter hadn't disappeared, he could have continued to have fun in Wenrou Township.
Thinking of that illegitimate son who failed to live up to expectations, Jonathan sighed again in his heart, and he couldn't help but think of Mrs. Wang who had died many years ago, and even the rosy days in the past.
Jonathan used to be very cool and handsome.
As a powerful royal prince.
It can be said that he is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
Even other dukes with real power are only roughly his equal.
In this situation, he enjoyed real power.
And it is the kind of power that is close to the top of the kingdom, and the feelings involved are self-evident.
It is no exaggeration to say that Grand Duke Jonathan has never suffered any setbacks or grievances in his life.
Therefore, the current troubles made him feel extremely irritable.
A life with smooth sailing will never see any headwinds.
The more irritated you feel, the more you want to vent.
Feeling the warmth brought by Mayfair, he suddenly turned around, picked up Mayfair Black Youlan, and started tearing her apart.
The black orchid mark on her forehead suddenly lit up.
Let Grand Duke Jonathan tear open the black clothes outside like a beast.
And she just looked at it calmly.
said suddenly.
"Why don't you consider performing a divine sacrifice?"
"Things that the heretical gods of Calamity Raven can do."
"My venerable god can do it too."
"As long as you offer enough sacrifices."
