Chapter 759: Don't push!
Bright Road!
Archangel Michael sat at the entrance to the palace, and no one could break through the palace gates. In the sky, the angel legion summoned by Robb had already defeated the angel legion summoned by the Church of Darkness, leaving them in shambles.
The Cardinal of the Church of Darkness glanced at the current situation and knew that they couldn't break into the palace. He angrily took out a crystal ball and called the Archbishop who was attacking Westwind City.
The crystal ball lit up quickly, and the Cardinal didn't even have time to look at the other side before anxiously asking, "How's the situation on your end? Have you taken Westwind City?"
Only then did he notice that the face appearing in the crystal ball was not the Archbishop's but Elsie's, and several other heads who were crowding around the crystal ball with him.
Elsie grumpily said, "Hey, don't crowd. I'm on the phone here. I got this phone from that fool's corpse. There must be an even bigger fool on the other side."
The face of the Dwarf Chief appeared beside him, "Interesting things shouldn't be without dwarves."
Then Baron Nuolun said, "Don't push and shove like this. You have no gentlemanly manners. Can't we just line up properly to listen to this call?"
The Elf elder did not appear in front of the crystal ball but emitted a background sound, "You're too young. As an old man who has seen the world, I'm not so interested in this kind of thing."
Then, the group all spoke together to the crystal ball, "Why did the big fool on the other side call?"
The Cardinal remained silent. What he wanted to ask was that he was in a mess due to Godfather's actions on his end, but their side should have made some progress. However, he didn't need to ask now. He knew that the army attacking Westwind City had been defeated, and even the communication crystal ball had fallen into the enemy's hands, becoming a toy used to mock themselves.
This day was unbearable!
The Cardinal quickly took out another crystal ball, which was used to contact the people on the side of the Capital of Saints. The Church of Darkness had sent an Archbishop to lead a group of priests to help West Gran fight. In name, they were, of course, helping the queen, but in reality, they were responsible for transmitting frontline intelligence and, at the same time, had already withdrawn from the queen's army when the Church of Darkness launched a rebellion. (TL: Note: The archbishop of the Church of Light was killed in the Capital of Saints, not the Church of Darkness)
The Cardinal dialed the phone and the face of the Archbishop appeared on the other side. He breathed a sigh of relief, [fortunately, their own people were still in control of the situation, and the crystal ball had not fallen into the enemy's hands.]
He quickly asked, "How is the situation at Mondra's lair?"
The Archbishop on the front line quickly reported, "East Gran is finished. The queen is in control of the situation, and we must withdraw urgently now."
The Archbishop was slightly surprised, "The Queen can actually control the situation? Without our help, her troops didn't even have a priest. How did she win? We clearly received intelligence about the invasion of the Church of Light. The Queen shouldn't be able to withstand a joint attack from the Church of Light and East Gran."
The archbishop sighed, "The Queen's army was already finished, but...the Lord of Westwind City suddenly appeared out of nowhere...and then he summoned many fallen angels, and they beat back the people of the Church of Light."
The Archbishop exclaimed: "What the hell! He just summoned many angels of light on Bright Road!"
There was no reasoning with this!
Where in the world could there be such a crazy person? He just summoned angels of light on Bright Road, and then in the blink of an eye, he went to the Capital of Saints to summon fallen angels. Is this guy still making any sense?
After being depressed for several seconds, the Archbishop hung up the phone and ordered all his subordinates, "Retreat, retreat, retreat, abandon Bright Road, and the entire army will withdraw to Lost City. Next, we need to consider how to deal with the Queen's counterattack."
The Templar Knights gave up attacking the palace and quickly retreated.
The angel army summoned by Robb didn't pursue them, just quietly watching them go far away.
Capital of Saints.
The Capital of Saints, which had just experienced a war, still had scars of war everywhere.
The houses burned by fireball spells had just been extinguished, but the charred wooden beams were still emitting black smoke. On the walls of the houses, there were marks left by swords and axes, as well as small holes punched out by silver bullets.
A large group of soldiers were searching for silver fragments in the ruins, collecting them together to be melted down and used to make something else.
The people who were scared out of the city by the war were returning to the city from the direction of the east gate, to see if their homes had been burned down in the war.
The Queen sat in the palace of Mondra.
This palace was much more magnificent than the poor palace of the queen, decorated with gold, silver, and jewels everywhere. The carpets on the floor were also the most expensive and most luxurious type. However, the city outside the palace looked very poor and desolate.
This was completely opposite to Bright Road, where the city was prosperous and the palace was poor.
Perhaps, this was the real reason why the Queen was able to win this battle.
Sitting on the shining golden throne of Mondra, the Queen felt uncomfortable all over her body and said to Number 1, "Take this chair apart and take all the gold off to make gold coins. Oh, and that gem lamp over there, use it to make magic items, and the silver lamp stand over there, melt it down and make silver coins..."
Number 1 laughed next to her, "Your Majesty, your new palace may need these things. Why give them up..."
Before bowing respectfully, without saying any extra words.
The queen turned to her side to ask Madeline, "How is the situation in the city?"
Madeline replied, "It's relatively stable. The people here still don't trust us very much and trust the White Lion, Flame, Ice, and Thunder Knights more. So, I had the surrendering troops arrange the people, and the effect was much better than if we had tried to appease them ourselves."
The queen nodded to indicate that she understood. The city had been managed by Mondra for decades, so the residents here were not easily persuaded to trust the queen's side. For them, the White Lion Knights were much more trustworthy than the Black Earth Knights. Therefore, it was naturally better to have the surrendering troops appease them.
She then turned to Robb Smith, who was next to her, and asked, "Where is your teacher? I was busy with a small matter here and when I turned my head, I couldn't find him."
Robb replied, "He said that you were busy, so he didn't want to disturb you. He'll wait until you're less busy and then call to chat."
