Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 201 Angel's Broken Wings
The cold wind blew against the earthen wall, blowing off large pieces of rough particles. The military flag of the Anxi Protectorate fluttered in the old yamen.

Behind the paper-pasted window, Chef Hassan, under the guise of Wang Tai, deceived the guards with General Jia and quickly searched for something in several public housing units.

"Boss, what do you think he's looking for?"

On the dark courtyard wall in the northwest corner, Wang Tai and his two brave and careful men were staring at the dark shadow in the old house.

"Either he's looking for military reports or he's looking for valuables. Either way, he's definitely up to something bad."

Wang Tai stroked the intricate patterns engraved on the musket, his tone somewhat cold.

"Then shall we go down and take him away?"

"No hurry, just keep an eye on him first and wait until we catch all the perpetrators."

Wang Tai shook his head and thought more long-term.

As Hassan pried the lock and opened the door, he rummaged through the drawers and found some things that the Tang people thought were useless and put them into his waist bag.

Unknown metal fragments, official documents recording trivial matters, and ornaments placed on the desk
Just as he was lowering his voice and sneaking towards the Fujia Supervisor's workshop, a loud shout suddenly pierced the silent night.

"Who?!"

Before he finished his words, a bright red fist shadow smashed through the wooden window and punched towards Hassan who was crouching down.

rub!
Hassan suddenly stepped hard on his ankle, burst out with astonishing speed, and leaped back several feet.

A barely perceptible golden light emanated from his body. He looked up suddenly and saw a giant red fist less than half a foot in front of him!

Bang!
The pale golden flesh and the crimson steel collided with a loud bang. Hassan, whose body had expanded a little, still stood in the same place, but the stone bricks under his feet burst into several spider-web-like cracks.

[Word Spirit·King’s Servant]!
The whine of steam echoed in the empty courtyard, mixing with the sound of blood rushing in Hassan's body, spreading out like a wave, seeming a little weird.

Looking at the craftsman who stayed in front of him wearing a giant mechanical arm, Hassan's eyes flashed with gold. He stepped forward with his right foot, locked the mechanical arm with both hands, and threw the craftsman out with an extremely sophisticated throwing skill!
"on!"

Wang Tai, who was on the courtyard wall, saw that the two men had started fighting, so he immediately jumped off the wall, pointed the rifle in his hand at Hassan's back and pulled the trigger.

Hassan, who had turned into a little giant, relied on his armor to block the attack and casually smashed the earthen brick wall next to him with his elbow, stirring up a large amount of dust in the yard.

The craftsman who stayed behind with a robotic arm climbed out of the public housing on the other side. Seeing that the thief had disappeared, he immediately shot a flare into the sky.

"Chase!"

Without the craftsman's reminder, Wang Tai immediately drew his sword and gun, crossed the ruins, and followed the footprints.

Hassan, who was blessed by [Word Spirit·King's Servant], was extremely fast and soon arrived at the west gate where the defense was the weakest.

The west gate of Suiye leads to the heart of Anxi, and it is unlikely that foreign enemies will invade, so the garrison troops neglected it a bit when arranging defense.

"General, the city is..."

The gatekeeper looked at Hassan who had turned back into Wang Tai's appearance. He stepped forward and before he could utter a few words, he was knocked unconscious and died without a sound.

Hassan raised his arms, whose muscles were knotted and bulging again, and veins on his forehead bulged. He actually managed to create a gap in the city gate by himself, which took two fire soldiers to open together.

"Have your heavy crossbows ready, don't let the thieves get away!"

Wang Tai's shouts came from far away in the city. The crossbowmen on the city wall immediately realized something was wrong. They set up their mountain-breaking crossbows and aimed them at the outside of the city from all angles.

If Hassan dares to step out of the city wall at this moment, he will be turned into a beehive immediately!

Hassan glanced grimly at the pursuers riding towards him, then looked up at the city wall.

Suddenly, his pale golden pupils became extremely fiery, and his originally strong and muscular body suddenly shrank. After a blurry light twisted, the whole person disappeared out of thin air!

【Word Spirit·Dark Illumination】!
Wang Tai, who had already rushed to the city gate, narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to pull out a huge musket from the horse's suspension.

Bang!
Large amounts of lead bullets and iron sand covered the entire gate opening like a barrage, making the city gate full of potholes.

Not inside the door?

Wang Tai's mind raced, and he shouted loudly: "Rain of arrows, fire!"

The soldiers gnashed their teeth, sparks flew, and a large number of heavy arrows emitting a sharp blue light suddenly covered the sky and fell at a high speed!
But in this continuous rain of arrows, a wisp of barely visible gray-black smoke dodged and in a few breaths it rushed out half a mile and escaped the net set up by the garrison guards.

Wang Tai saw that the bullets and arrows were all ineffective, and every word he uttered was chilling.

"Follow me!"

To the east of Suiye is the clear pool of Rehai.

"General, we are less than a hundred miles away from Suiye. Do you think we should let the brothers rest for a while?"

Listening to the advice of his lieutenant, the burly man over two meters tall nodded with a powerful voice.

"Then let's rest for half an hour and let the boys fill their stomachs."

The man was riding a precious Tianrui horse that was not much smaller than the Kuilong horse, and the dark gold armor he wore looked even more sophisticated than that of the [Flying Cavalry Guards].

"General, when do you think our Modao troops will be able to be equipped with armor like yours, just like the Tianqi?"

The lieutenant general looked at the tiger-head armor on the man with some envy, took out the water bag and handed it to the general.

The man's five knuckles were broad as he held the water bag, and his right hand was tightly grasping a heavy and fierce Mo Dao.

"It's almost done. In the next few battles, brothers, kill more Western barbarians. When we return to the court, I will ask Tianruisi for them!"

"General, you are considerate of your brothers. With you here, we will surely capture them!"

The lieutenant hurriedly stood up, lit a bonfire, and heated up dry food for the men.

When the men had eaten and rested, the lieutenant general very perceptively signaled the messenger to pass on the order.

The long horn sounded throughout the army, and thousands of Anxi elite troops set out together and headed towards Suiye.
-
Samarkand, in the little house of the Black Monastery.

Silver Storm and Red O'Quinn, with their armor damaged and red mercury depleted, were sitting on the Hercules Rack, allowing the mechanical arms to remove their armor.

The rescued mechanics were checking and recording the damage of the Seraph, analyzing the power of the Orientals' weapons. The white-robed medical officer was telling Director Spencer and the Pope about the battle situation the day before, with a very respectful tone.

"With the height advantage of Talas City, the Easterners' heavy crossbows can shoot farther than the Dragon Roar Cannon, which caused some errors in our heavy artillery strategy to break the city. Stein's troops found it difficult to advance within the range of the barrage of arrows, so the progress of the siege on the first day was very slow. However, the real reason for the failure of this war was the defeat of the Blazing Knights."

The Pope paced around the room with a grim expression. In the eyes of a man with rich military experience like him, emotions would never be swayed by temporary victory or defeat.

"On the front battlefield where the two armies were fighting, the Orientals' Divine Martial Heavenly Cavalry was not only able to counter the Blazing Heavenly Iron Cavalry, but also demonstrated a new battlefield method. They could control lightning and fire and heal injuries through items similar to paper talismans. With this method and the help of Kuilong Horse, the [Blazing Heavenly Iron Cavalry Type III] was unable to effectively tear open the Eastern Cavalry's line."

When he said this, the white-robed medical officer's voice was a little hesitant.

"Lightning? Fire? Can it heal itself?" The Pope suddenly stopped.

"Yes, especially that alien wizard, the leader of the Shenwu Tianqi, who can even summon meteor swarms and thunderstorm tornadoes, with power comparable to the salvos of a heavy artillery division!"

The medical officer's voice trembled a little, and it was obvious that he also felt that this ability was too terrifying. But after all, he had seen it with his own eyes, so he had to tell the truth in front of the Holy See.

"Is he dead? The Black Dragon didn't come back. Did he perish together with him?"

The Pope sat back in the wide chair, his eyes calm behind the dark grey lenses.

"I mobilized the Unicorn, and the [Black Dragon] also released the [Holy Sword Equipment - Excalibur]. The alien wizard was blown to pieces by the mithril bullet, and his waist and abdomen were cut off by the holy sword. He should have died. But his body was finally snatched back by his men, so I think he is not dead."

O'Quinn, who took off his Seraph, answered the Pope's question. The fatigue in his words could not be concealed, but he never thought of concealing it.

"General O'Quinn means that the Orientals also have the Gaia secret medicine?"

Director Spencer glanced at the [Holy Sword Armor Excalibur] placed on the table, which was brought back by the [Bronze Priest] who sacrificed himself to cover the rear, and his tone was a little puzzling.

O'Quinn and Director Spencer looked at each other and nodded: "Only if that alien is still alive can we explain the night attack we suffered that night. It was simply a divine disaster!"

"Impossible! If the alien's power reaches the level of causing a divine disaster, the prophet will definitely notice it, unless..."

Minister Spencer's words were firm and he did not agree with O'Quinn's judgment.

"Unless that wizard is not using alien power."

The Pope tapped the arm of his chair, a gleam in his eyes.

"Tell us in detail about the battle the day before yesterday. Don't leave out any action of that alien species."

Hearing the Pope's unquestionable order, O'Quinn, who had always been at odds with him, was unusually silent for a moment, and then spoke slowly.

"It can conjure objects out of thin air. Its combat skills are on par with the Black Dragon. It can control lightning and fire, and it can fly."

After listening to O'Quinn's story, Spencer roughly summarized Qin Huai's abilities.

"The Arabs' Jinni can't do this, but it shouldn't be a divine disaster. The Orientals should have mastered some technology similar to the manufacture of mobile armor. It is with this technology that they can carry out such a surprise attack."

The Pope shook his head and expressed his judgment.

The Jinni are the ace elite of the Black Caliphate Khorasan Army. They are humanoid weapons that have developed alien powers to a very high level and are able to fight against Seraphim with only swords and guns.

The objects that cause divine disasters are even more special. According to the provisions of the "Law of Religious Secrets" and the actions of the prophet, the Pope does not think that Orientals can be considered divine disasters.

"Recall the Scarlet Death and the Red Dragon. If this alien species is not eliminated, the Messiah's actions in the East will never be able to continue."

The Pope waved his hand coldly.

"Follow the Holy Instructions."

Director Spencer bowed slightly, but before he could go out to pass the order, the imperial decree sounded again.

"Mobilize the subordinate divisions. I will go to Talas in person this time!"

When the Pope said this, his already chiseled face became even colder and harder.

"Holy See! That alien spear blade can't even stop the [Black Dragon]. It's too dangerous for you to go!" Director Spencer said solemnly, "If someone must go, I am willing to lead the troops and fight!"

"Are you any good? You can't control the Seraph!" The Pope stroked the dark and ancient giant sword on the table, "This time, all the Seraphs will be deployed!"
-
Florence, Inquisition.

On the freight platform more than ten kilometers away from the Tiber River, the man watched the flying snow silently, his black cloak fluttering in the cold wind.

The other side of the platform was filled with fully armed soldiers. They wore black woolen military uniforms with the emblem of the Black Angel on their collars, and dust masks on their faces, with pairs of cold eyes above the masks. They were the executors of the Inquisition, one of the most elite armed forces in Florence.

blah blah~
The sound of hurried military boots crossed the platform, and the young adjutant ran behind the man: "Deputy Director Licinius! We just received an order from the Papal Palace! The fate of [Black Dragon] is unknown at the front line, and the Third Army of the Crusader Guards has been annihilated! Our mission is to rush to the front line and join the Holy See immediately!"

The man raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of disbelief.

Licinius, deputy director of the Inquisition, former leader of the Seraph Knights, codenamed "Scarlet Death", has multiple identities including the strongest knight, a ruthless killer, a monster, and an efficiency machine.

However, according to the principle that the Knights of Seraphim must retire at the age of 22, Licinius retired a year ago and transferred to the Inquisition. As soon as he retired, Rundstedt appeared in the sequence of the Knights of Seraphim and was promoted to the leader of the Knights at an astonishing speed. The new strongest knight was born. As people from two different eras, Licinius and Rundstedt were not active on the stage of the Knights of Seraphim at the same time, so to this day, there are still people arguing about who is the first knight of Florence between Rundstedt and Licinius.

But as the strongest knight, he knew very well that Rundstedt, who could release the [Holy Sword Equipment·Excalibur], was definitely not weaker than anyone else in terms of combat power.

When he heard that the Black Dragon had died in the war with the Orientals, even he couldn't help but feel shocked.

"When will the World Python arrive?"

Licinius calmed down and quickly analyzed the information.

"Five minutes later, your [Scarlet Death] and [Holy Spear Equipment·Longinus] have also been inspected and are now in place on the World Python."

Licinius nodded. He had just returned from a mission with the executive officers, so naturally he had to inquire about the armaments before making any plans.

"Also, Leviathan will be accompanying us this time."

"Is the fighting on the front lines intense enough to require the deployment of Leviathan?"

Thinking about the style of the Cardinals and the sequence position of [Leviathan], Licinius suddenly became a little curious about this opponent.

The angel's wings are broken, and the death scythe is swung.
What kind of enemy could force the Pope's Office to send the "Scarlet Reaper" back into the battlefield?
