Chapter 529 The Enemy is at the Gates
Unsurprisingly, this holy war army suffered heavy losses the moment it stepped into Mendetek's territory.
"Report the situation!"
The commander-in-chief of the Holy War Army, Kogmer, had a grim expression. He had never imagined that the Holy War Army's first battle in Mendetek would be a war against their mutated comrades.
As the Pope of Tyre, the god of justice, this was something he could not have imagined.
"Your Majesty, the number of soldiers killed or wounded is around 700,000, and the exact number is still being tallied. 17,000 high-ranking officers have died, and 18 Saint-level warriors have mutated."
"What?!"
Even with Corgár's experience as a pope, he found it hard to believe.
Is this really a legendary mage, or some god of plague?
"So, have you figured out how to prevent these?"
Kogmer asked, feeling somewhat dizzy and disoriented, even finding it hard to believe.
Before the troops even reached that evil and blasphemous mage, they had already lost nearly a third of their men. How could they possibly fight if they got close enough?
"I already have a general idea, but..."
"That's what the adjutant said, but his tone was slightly hesitant."
"Then hurry up and tell me!"
Kogmer practically yelled; he didn't have time to fool around. He had to say what he meant, that was the point.
"As long as the soldiers don't sleep and receive the priest's purification baptism within a certain time, there will be no problem."
"The specific interval is once every 8 hours to prevent problems from occurring."
Upon hearing this, Kogmer felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.
A priest's combat effectiveness and most of his role depend on divine magic.
Even if, in theory, gods and churches could mass-produce priests, it would still be impossible for them to match warriors on a one-to-one basis.
Therefore, a priest must take care of at least nearly a hundred warriors.
Of course, as a legend, he could unleash divine magic to purify them, but it's not worth it.
And if this is done, the fighting power of the Holy War Army will inevitably decline significantly.
"Sigh, let's do it this way."
With a sigh, Kogmer still decided to do it this way, otherwise the army would really be finished. If only a small number of people were saved, were they supposed to send them to fight Mendetek head-on?
It should be noted that although Jiang Shuzhou did not have a large army, he still had at least 800,000 troops, which was more than enough to defend the city.
Moreover, he himself is a mage, skilled in positional warfare.
"It's terrible! Your Majesty, it's raining outside!"
rain?
Kogmer was stunned, then he almost laughed in anger. It's just rain, what's there to be afraid of? Does he think our Church of the God of Justice is full of such scheming scoundrels?
"What are you afraid of! It's just rain..."
As he was speaking, Kogmer suddenly stopped talking.
Because just now, the rain that had been hidden has revealed its true nature.
That's the love of dissolving! Or rather, the upgraded version.
Dissolving Love was an important invention for Jiang Shuzhou to acquire resources in the early stages, but it gradually became outdated, since it could only be used on low-level superhumans.
However, Jiang Shuzhou was a sentimental person, so he modified the Love of Dissolution and brought it back into the battlefield as the best choice to clear out the minions.
Now, the dissolving power of Dissolving Love has reached a new level, and it can now dissolve all creatures of higher and lower ranks.
Furthermore, it can integrate these organisms, truly achieving a unified whole.
Outside, the crimson rain pattered down, much like Kogmer's gloomy, inky face, covered with dark clouds, as if it were about to rain.
Fortunately, the name of the Dissolving Love is well-known, and most people have heard of it. So even though she was momentarily stunned because her aura was obscured, she managed to stabilize herself through various means.
Even so, the Jihad Army still lost over 100,000 men.
This time, almost half of the army was wiped out.
However, this was not the end. Soon, the Holy War Army was met with the passionate greetings of hounds, the hunting of dream jellyfish, and the siege of countless infected zombie hordes.
It can only be said that since setting foot on Mendetk, the Jihad Army has not had a moment's rest.
That's why the Holy War Army originally estimated that it would take a maximum of seven days to reach the city, but it has now taken more than twenty days to arrive.
Along the way, the gods intended to help more than once, but each time they chose to give up for fear of alerting the enemy.
The soldiers suffered, and Jiang Shuzhou bore the blame, since he dared to rebel.
In any case, they could not allow a legendary mage like Jiang Shuzhou, who had already established himself as a powerful figure, to live.
There was already one Roland, and the gods did not want there to be a second.
Roland caused great distress to the gods, directly leading to the fall of the Goddess of Magic, and even creating things like the Mage Alliance and the Floating City, indirectly causing the fall of a powerful god.
If another one were to join them, and these two were to team up, they couldn't even imagine how they would manage to get by.
Are we going to follow the example of the God of Fate and just run away?
Tyr was furious at the thought of this guy. Without saying a word, he saw that the guy had taken the church, packed his valuables, and run away, abandoning his territory in the Prime Material Plane.
After that, there was no further contact.
He's fast on his feet, but too timid.
Why don't you dare to touch him?
Roland is just a nobody who hasn't amounted to anything yet. Given enough time, we can find a way to take him down sooner or later. Why be so timid?
It's just a source of trouble; once it's removed, it's not like the other side is guaranteed to win.
One can only say that if these gods knew the second half of the prophecy made by the god of fate back then, they might not have dared to come.
"This time, we are fully prepared and are just waiting for that kid to show up."
In a conference room, Tyre said this.
"Perhaps."
Woking, the goddess of wealth, simply brushed it off.
She had already sold all the information about these people, including herself.
Even now, Jiang Shuzhou is handing over resources to the personnel He sent.
After all, although the probability might be lower, no one could say for sure whether Jiang Shuzhou would survive to the end, so Woking decided to secure the deal and complete it first.
"This time, I'm going all out. I'm determined to kill Jiang Shuzhou and make him pay for his crimes in blood!"
"kill!"
"well……"
The Earth Mother sighed, and then said nothing more.
And what about the god of nobility?
As the god of nobility, he fully embodied the noble's tendency to do nothing and had no desire to do anything at all.
"I hope we can succeed this time."
He said.
"Absolutely, easily!"
Heim’s words were filled with a mysterious confidence, and it was unclear how he was so certain.
And so, after a chaotic scene and at the cost of the deaths of half of the basic-level soldiers,
The Holy War army has arrived at the gates of Mendetke.
