I have a shelter in the last days

Chapter 293

The church probably didn't expect the nobles to be so vulnerable, so that when they found that they could not be found in the entire northern region north of the central part of the empire, they reacted to these greedy and cowardly nobles He actually abandoned his territory and fled all the way to the south with his family and remnant army.

The rapid defeat and retreat of the nobles turned a large number of northern territories into unclaimed lands. It stands to reason that this is a good thing for the church, but this situation disrupted the pace of the church's holy war.The church had to mobilize a large number of troops back from the front line, while preparing to take full control of these territories, while guarding against the possibility of the nobles counterattacking at any time.The church first began to promote the disgust of the nobles in the original noble territory, and then announced a reduction of rent and tax on the land occupied by the church to attract those who hid because of the war.

Although the original deployment was disrupted, the church was not in a hurry, because they knew that time was on their side, and the only thing that was anxious was the noble alliance.As they take control of the Northern Territory, they will have more and more people, food and strategic depth. These resources will only make the Church's army stronger.On the other hand, the nobles have lost a large amount of land and resources, and their military strength will become weaker and weaker.

Everything seems to be developing towards the ultimate goal of the church. The only thing that makes the church a little headache is that they found that some nobles in the south actually have some weapons that are as powerful as divine weapons. These weapons have a longer range and are also very powerful. .In the previous northern battlefield, there were several mysterious squads equipped with this weapon, which caused great casualties to the church army they encountered. According to some captured noble family members, these squads were the southern Cayman family A special envoy sent to connect with the northern nobles.Fortunately, this kind of weapon seems to be equipped in a small amount, and it is not widely equipped in all noble armies. It is said that even the most loyal small part of the private army of the Cayman family is equipped with such weapons. Otherwise, if the church army encounters It is absolutely impossible for a large army of nobles equipped with such weapons to sweep across the entire northern part of the empire as it is now.

"This group of damned nobles and heretics! What kind of divine power did you steal from the gods?!" The head knight of the Church Judgment Knight hammered the table in front of him hard, and said fiercely.He is now not only the commander-in-chief of the jury, but also the military commander of the entire church army. The strongest resistance and the greatest casualties that the church has encountered today come from the knight squad of the Cayman family who hold these weapons.

"This was my negligence. I didn't expect the Cayman family to hide such a method. They didn't even see this weapon when they arranged to assassinate their heirs several times before. They hid their strength very deeply!" Bishop Langte on the side also said in a deep voice.As regional archbishops, they have a secret mission to spy out the military situation of all local nobles, and provide intelligence support for the church's jihad operations today.

"Bishop Lante, I can't blame you for this. Nobles and heretics are so cunning, otherwise they wouldn't be able to steal power from God!" It was another archbishop from the north who spoke.Now they have another identity as the staff advisor of the church army, and he continued as if he suddenly remembered something.

"Speaking of the heir of the Cayman family, that kid is called Ann Cayman, right? There is a news from our southern intelligence network that it seems that this person has not returned to the south but is still active in the area controlled by the church... …we might try to get him out, he must have more Caymanian family secrets.”

……

"Master, let's take a rest in this village first." It was Kou Jin who spoke. Although the knight commander is not injured, he has a tired expression on his face.During this period of time, they have been hiding all the way, but they have not been able to go south and leave the area controlled by the church.Because the church's army is everywhere on this road, fighting everywhere, and almost all roads and all places where the army may pass are full of church inspectors.In this way, they wandered around all the way and were trapped near a mountain village in the middle of the empire, but there was no one in the village at present, and it seemed that everyone had gone out to escape the war.

"Find someone to check the situation around the village. Everyone has been tired for a while. If there is nothing unusual, let's take a good rest here tonight." Jiujiu sat on the bench in the room wearily.This is the most common dwelling in a village. It used to be enough for seven or eight people, but now it is crowded with more than ten people.But they have to do this. If the team is scattered and rested in different houses, in case of any emergency, the weapons in their hands will not be able to form a powerful firepower network, so there is a risk of being divided and wiped out.

Two soldiers dragged their tired bodies and went out to investigate the environment, while the rest stayed in the room and silently checked their equipment.This is a habit they have developed during this period of time. After all, they are faced with the danger of being discovered by the church at any time, fighting, and fleeing. These weapons and equipment are their last reliance and it is difficult to obtain ammunition supplies now. They have to carefully count their hands. weapons resources in case of emergency.

The original two large packs of thousands of rounds of ammunition have already been used up, and now each person has only one or two magazines left, and the entire team has 6 grenades left. All in all, these weapons can support There was a breakout.Jiu Jiu and Kou Jin looked at the remaining weapons in the team and couldn't help but look at each other. They both saw worry in each other's eyes. Are these weapons enough for them to break out of the area controlled by the church and return to the southern territory?
Jiujiu got up and pushed open the bedroom door.Liana was sitting on the bed covered with dried mycelium, and was in a daze until Jiu Jiu came in and turned her gaze to him.

Jiujiu closed the door gently, sat on the edge of the bed at Liana's feet, looked at her and asked, "You're so tired and haven't rested yet?"

Liana shook her head and asked back, "You came to me because you wanted to tell me something?"

"Have your views on the church, God, and the people of the starry sky not changed?" Jiujiu asked suddenly after a moment of silence.

Liana was silent again, and it took a long time for her to speak: "It's not right to do this!"

Then he seemed to realize that his statement was ambiguous, and he said again: "I mean the church is wrong! I don't know why the jihad is suddenly launched, but I think no matter what the reason is, everyone should not be involved in the flames of war. !"

Speaking of this, she turned her head and looked at the deserted village street outside the window, and continued: "The people who lived here have abandoned their homes and fled. We walked all the way and saw those who died on the battlefield so Many people, these must not be what God expects to see... If there is really a God..."
