"Daughter of Fire! Under such circumstances, you openly attack the Knights of Light. Can I conclude that you are openly defying the great God?" The Patriarch Lu Sien below took out a staff at some point. With a fierce look in his eyes, he pointed the thicker staff directly in the direction of Euphia.
Euphia, who had already killed several people, found it really funny to see Lu Sien just reacting at this moment.
"Someone has already said it before, if you want to achieve something, you don't have to rely on so-called gimmicks, you can just think of yourself as a god and then execute your goals."
Euphia pulled away from the Knights of Light who were gradually surrounding her, and kicked away the Knight of Light who was approaching her at the fastest speed.
"This should motivate you to take action more easily than in the name of the God of Light. After all, you look like someone who has no clear understanding of his own beliefs."
After saying this, Euphia felt ashamed that she had thought of Egbert's head for no reason.
But it seems that whenever faith is mentioned, the first image that pops into my mind is that of Egbert standing beside Sully, staring at him with his eyes sharp.
"Tsk..." Euphia looked at Lu Sien with dissatisfaction, who had caused her chill. The next moment, she hooked her finger at him provocatively and said sarcastically, "Stop using your tricks of judging others in the name of God. I don't have any reverence for the God of Light. Let me put it this way, since you want to kill me, then show your real strength and stop talking about high-sounding things, otherwise..."
Euphia glanced at the Knights of Light who were more or less injured. She raised her chin and said with a disdainful look, "The Knights of Light are not something that the Church can mass-produce. If a large number of Knights of Light die because of you, Lu Sien, do you think the God you believe in will bypass the Pope and save you from him?"
Seeing this attempt to sow discord, Lu Si'en was furious. He spoke faster and shouted, "You are just a Daughter of Fire, a despicable woman who colluded with the evil Son of Darkness. You should be sent to the Tribunal of God and accept the joint judgment of all important figures in the Church of Light. I promise that I will vote for your death!"
As soon as Lu Sien finished speaking, Euphia's attack arrived.
Cyril on the top of the city wall was also telling Sully some things related to the elements that he had never explained to him before.
"The light elementalist is different from other elemental holders. The most likable and equally hateful thing about this kind of element is its endurance."
"That is a unique power that can replace most medicines for treatment." Lan Zhe was also standing on the top of the city wall, but he did not get close to the edge. He only spoke to Suli from a distance of two or three meters.
"If the more than one hundred knights are not killed as soon as possible, they will be able to directly create a long offensive front once they unite with the Amiqbe soldiers not far away."
There are too many powerful enemies.
Although mercenaries exist in every corner, they are essentially just a career choice, so the total number of people in the entire alliance, including Lions club members organized by Lions club leaders, is only more than 80,000.
At first glance, this number is very impressive. Compared with the enemy's army of more than 2,000 people, it is a world of difference.
But this does not mean that all of them can become combat forces.
Although most people in this world possess elements, this does not mean that they can all become strong.
On the contrary, most people live their lives doing nothing, and the elements stored in their bodies can only allow people to light the stove in the kitchen, or light a light source instead of the power system that is not sure whether it exists in this world.
When non-combat missions of mercenaries account for the majority of missions, there will be even fewer people who can be driven as a combat force.
But war is a meat grinder that doesn't care whether the combat power between the two sides is disparate or balanced.
It will only make the mercenaries become meaningless sacrifices in the war when the enemy has something that the mercenaries do not have.
Therefore, at this time, every time a member of the Knights is killed, it is equivalent to weakening the enemy's reserve force.
This is the information that everyone is eager to input to Suli, because everyone can see that Suli's face is extremely ugly when he stands next to the city wall.
When he looked down at the battle scene outside the city, he couldn't even control his shaking body.
But even though he felt the considerate kindness of those around him, Sully did not deliberately try to weaken the rising sense of guilt in his heart.
He would only choose to pay more attention to aspects related to the enemy's strength, thereby suppressing the outburst of thoughts on aspects such as shame.
"I'm fine." Suli expressed his thoughts.
Although this behavior and this sentence, in the eyes of others, are the habitual expression of reporting good news instead of worries after "something happened",
"If possible, I also hope that the patriarch will die here." Suli said calmly.
"I have speculated before - before someone of his age emerges who can surpass him in strength, whether or not his intelligence will weaken his qualifications as the next Pope..."
"Now, he should have the need to improve his reputation."
Moreover, if this person is not capable, it would not be a problem to select a suitable replacement in the future - in the eyes of the Pope, Deze himself has been trained to be an obedient dog, and therefore, the Pope has the right to replace the heir at any time.
And if Dietz does not do something to build his reputation now, then his identity as the successor to the Pope, which has gradually been made public, will be too empty to be believed.
By then, even ordinary people would probably wonder whether Dez was just another scapegoat.
The current Vatican leaders are old, and the situation where their successors are not completely determined will only lead to unnecessary disputes when positions overlap.
So as long as this patriarch dies early in this battle, the next person who will come here will be the same as Diz came to Ziso Town in the past.
Same reason, same logic.
It is certainly not a good idea to replace the enemy's current leader with someone with more authority and strength, but if they are replaced with Diz, who is beneficial to them, it will be equivalent to once again greatly weakening the opponent's endurance.
"Also, do you know who is the commander of the Amicbee soldiers? Is it the princess mentioned in Willard's letter?"
Sully asked this question and Egbert gave the answer.
"At this point, not yet."
Suli sighed, "That's true. Even if Amiqbe's soldiers were carefully selected from a hundred men, the enemy's total force could not be more than 2,000. This number is probably only worthy of being regarded as the princess's private army."
Skirmish or something...
The enemy's most basic probing move is already an attack that they need to do everything they can to prevent.
At this moment, Suli wished that a meteorite would fall from the sky and crush all the enemies below to death.
Ignoring Suli's increasingly dark thoughts, Euphia at the bottom of the city wall sent out a seemingly extremely large fire dragon, heading straight for Lu Sen's face.
Lu Sien, who already knew about Euphia's attack methods, sneered and mocked: "I have seen through all your abilities."
In the Elementalist's vision, Lu Sien condensed a white defensive shield with the element of light. The magic circle flashed in front of him for a moment, and easily offset all the attacks of the arrows.
But Euphia, who is essentially a melee fighter, just found it extremely funny.
"Have you thought of this trick?"
The 30-centimeter-long dagger was stabbed fiercely into Lu Si'en's heart by Euphia who came up in the blink of an eye.
The latter took a look at the large amount of fire elements emanating from behind Euphia, and widened his eyes in disbelief, as if he had not expected that the fire elements could be used as propulsion to further accelerate the already powerful elementalist's body.
At least it would be ten times more difficult for the light element to accomplish this.
For the upper echelons of the Vatican, practical experience in dealing with humans is extremely rare.
Most of those who can be promoted to the position of Patriarch are selected step by step based on their talents, existing strength, and whether they are obedient to the Pope, rather than based on real strength.
This resulted in Lu Si'en, who had fought too few battles with others and had been a protected long-range output and dispatcher for a long time, completely overestimating his own combat power.
As he tried his best to block the attack that was about to penetrate his heart, Euphia in front of him smiled with a cruel smile.
"Who told you there was only one dagger?"
The dagger flashing with cold light was held tightly by Euphia's left hand, which seemed to be her unfamiliar hand in everyone's opinion, and pierced through Lu Si'en's throat in an instant.
The blood gushing out and the Patriarch falling to the ground in an instant made the scene extremely brutal.
But Euphia did not choose to continue to fight, but directly used the elements to finish off the enemy. At the same time, she took advantage of the reaction caused by the explosion of the fireball swung from her palm and instantly retreated a long way.
The Lions leader, who had been ready to respond, cooperated tacitly to condense several small vortices in the air.
Euphia turned around, compressed her own fire element, and shot it out from her fingers, accurately hitting the vortex. The entity formed by the combination of the two elements instantly became a temporary platform.
She quickly jumped onto the temporary landing point with red and green colors, and in a few steps she flew back to the highest point of the city wall, stepped on the high point of the city wall, and landed gracefully.
The leader of the Lions praised: "You did a good job. You were not affected by anger and used the death of a knight as a prelude to induce Lu Sien to take action. After killing him, you did not covet the heads of other knights. No matter from which aspect, you fought beautifully."
"Isn't this natural?" Euphia snorted.
But the look she gave Sully was like that of a kitten trying to get a reward.
Innocence yet reveals a hint of scheming.
Suli didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The depression in his heart was diluted a lot. He followed Yufia's wishes, smiled and praised her generously, "Well done."
Egbert, possessed by the lemon, curled his lips and said, "If it were me, it would be even better."
