Chapter 420: The head and the rat at both ends, the crusade army is in trouble

As the lava fire dragon fell, the wizards on the airship breathed a sigh of relief. This big trouble was solved, and they were finally safe.

As for the Holy See's gryphon knights, they were even more vulnerable to the attacks from several fighter jets, falling like dumplings from the sky.

Also seeing this scene were the bishops on the ground. Seeing the powerful fire dragon summoned by the Holy Maiden and being instantly beheaded, the Griffin Knights were beaten to the point where they were unable to fight back. They were shocked and angry, but

But there was nothing we could do.

The most important thing is that under the cover of darkness and polarized light magic, they could not see how those gryphon knights were killed.

"Lord Joshua, Your Majesty the Holy Lady, otherwise we should withdraw our troops first." A cardinal cautiously advised.

Without the fire dragon, the Griffin Knights also suffered heavy losses. They were completely defeated in the air battle, which also meant that they lost the power to restrain the airships. In the next battle, they would need to face threats from the air at all times.

.

You may even find yourself in the same predicament as when you were fighting in the Sea of ​​Mist, where you were chased all the time.

However, before Lucia could reply, this proposal was strongly opposed by the bishops.

"Do you mean to give up the empire's weapons and sit back and watch the demon's minions slaughter the Lord's people?"

"Only twenty?!" Ragnar's pupils shrank, and a chill arose in his heart. He immediately realized a problem that they had always ignored.

After the words fell, the rested gryphon spread its wings and flew into the sky. The dust raised made more than a dozen bishops frown, but what confused them even more was Lucia's words.

Lucia ignored the arguments of the bishops, stretched out her hand, and a soft divine light appeared. The falling griffon became slower and slower, and finally landed smoothly on the ground.

"It will never be allowed, this is simply a shame!"

Lucia once again glanced at the airships that had dispersed in the sky, and then said decisively, "Take some people and return to the City of Fire Oil immediately!"

However, Joshua did not do as they wished. Instead, he respectfully asked, "Do you need us to do anything? Your Majesty?"

Ragna's thoughts moved and he suddenly asked, "Have those airships been inspected? How many corpses are there on them?"

Lucia caressed the gryphon's head, and the water mist containing the brilliance of divine magic immediately enveloped the broken body. The body that was pierced by the machine gun was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the broken wings also grew again.

Come back.

Ragnar and others immediately shut up, because they knew that the Lord Judge would never make a joke about this matter!

Although the powerful power Lucia showed when she summoned and enslaved the fire dragon had greatly changed their view of the Holy Maiden, they still disapproved of the other party's actions of taking risks alone.

After all, the saint represents the face of the Holy See and is a servant of God. She must not be easily suspected.

Lucia swung her large skirt and neatly sat on the back of the giant beast, and suppressed the griffon's fearful emotions with divine magic.

This poor griffon had half of its wings broken off, and it was making whining sounds, but it was still slightly conscious.

Those Griffin knights who were hit by lasers and cannons and fell from the sky basically died, and the airship shot down by flames was no exception. Not even a single survivor was found.

The recovered griffin seemed to have not been able to recover from the fear, and it neighed from time to time...

At the same time, the Divine Punishment Knights who went to search for and treat the wounded also turned back one after another.

"There are so few of them!" Lucia murmured.

"Lady Lucia, don't you want to go into battle in person?"

They saw only more than a hundred aerial airships, and according to previous speculations, after the battle, the wizards' army still had about 8,000 people, not counting subsequent reinforcements.

"There should be less than twenty!" the knight who reported back hesitantly replied. Most of the airships were almost burned by the hot dragon's breath before crashing, and the corpses were completely disfigured, but it would definitely not exceed this number...

The other bishops were also extremely dissatisfied, thinking that Lucia, who had no war experience, was just giving random orders based on her high status.

"Just do it!" Joshua looked at the bishops without the slightest hesitation, and gave direct instructions. "I will lead a group of Divine Punishment Knights to go to the city of fire oil immediately, Ragnar, and it will be up to you.

Responsible for the next command!"

The bishops could not care less about the argument at this moment, and looked at the Holy Lady in surprise.

After giving a few instructions, Joshua took three thousand divine punishment knights and set off for the city of fire oil...

"But, Lord Judge..." Cardinal Ragnar looked hesitant. Do they still have to obey such a confusing and irrational order?

The bishops were noisy and their faces were red. In the sky, a gryphon that was hit by a machine gun fell towards them.

Return to the City of Fire and Oil? Do you mean to let them retreat first?

Or should some people evacuate first?

Amidst the questioning, Joshua slowly said, "The Holy Maiden has received divine revelation, and her instructions are the Lord's will!"

【God-given rain】

The knight above was beaten into a sieve by the machine cannon, and his body flew to nowhere.

"This is really too dangerous, and you alone may not be able to help." A cardinal stopped him urgently.

Not to mention that after being elected, Lucia has been living in the Holy City and has no fighting experience at all. No matter how strong she is, she may not be able to show it!

While speaking out to dissuade each other, the bishops also turned to look at Joshua, hoping that the Lord Inquisitor could stop Lucia's reckless behavior.

In other words, each airship must carry seventy or eighty people, and it must also carry those heavy new weapons...

This can never be done!

Not only Ragna, but also all the bishops reacted quickly and immediately understood why Her Majesty the Holy Maiden suddenly asked them to send manpower to support the city of fire oil!

Because the main force of the wizards is not here at all, they are probably still stranded in that town, just creating the illusion that they have evacuated, allowing everyone to go after the airship...

Realizing this, Ragnar suddenly broke into a cold sweat on his forehead.

One side is a very important kerosene field, and the other side is the fortress and strong city in the western part of the empire. What is the real goal of those wizards?
