Chapter 153 Reinforcement of the Papal State
Chapter 153 Pope's reinforcements
It does not take a month for the Amazon warriors who absorb the Fruit of Life. In just a few days, the Amazon warriors absorbed the medicinal effects of the Fruit of Life, improved their strength, and came out of seclusion.
This time, because the number of the Fallen Fruits was limited, only Queen Lenas, the Great Elder and the Second Elder were given. None of the other three elders got the Fallen Fruits. Although the fruit of life they obtained could not help them to upgrade to the demigod level, the Fallen Fruits could still improve their strength a lot. The time they left the seclusion was only ten days earlier than Queen Lenas and the other two elders who got the Fallen Fruits.
Now, the Amazon Empire is definitely a resurrection. Not to mention the queen and two elders who are still in seclusion and advance to the demigod, it is said that the number of legendary masters in the Amazon Empire has reached twenty, and there are a lot of masters of other levels. As long as the three demigods come out of seclusion, the Amazon Empire will no longer be afraid of the Pope.
Just as the three elders were about to leave the confinement, the reinforcements from the Pope came to the front ten days in advance and gathered Stephen's army.
This time, the Pope's reinforcements totaled as two million. In order to defeat the Amazon Empire at one time, the Pope's Kingdom dispatched a large number of elite troops.
The reinforcements were led by the Great Elder of the Holy See, the second person in the Pope, who was already at the peak of the legendary level, Master Cameron. There were five legendary elders, twenty epic and more than one hundred saints. In addition, Stephen and the two legends under his command, ten epic and more than forty holy levels. With such a lineup, you can definitely defeat the "weak" Amazon Empire in one fell swoop.
When Cameron came to the front line, he found that Stephen was not continuing to fight with the Amazon Empire on the front line, but was taking his subordinates to rest. Cameron immediately asked Stephen and his subordinates to give a lecture.
As soon as Stephen walked into Cameron's camp, Cameron immediately stepped forward and taught a lesson: "Stephen, how did you lead the army? Now the Amazon Empire is no longer good. Why don't you take advantage of the victory to pursue and try to annihilate the Amazon Empire in one fell swoop, but relax here? If you give the Amazon Empire time to rest, then we have to spend a lot of time to force the Amazon Empire into a desperate situation again. Do you know how many heroic warriors your wrong command will cost our Pope?"
Stephen said to Cameron with grievance: "Great Elder, I have no choice but to withdraw my troops. I also hope to capture a few more cities and fight for reinforcements. But we have no food. If we continue to fight, our soldiers will definitely be wiped out. I will retreat without any choice."
After hearing Stephen's 'quibbling', Cameron immediately sneered and said, "If I were right, under normal circumstances, your army would have more than a month of food. Did you actually tell me that the food was gone?"
Stephen immediately explained: "Great Elder, you're right. Under normal circumstances, we should have more than a month of food. But more than 20 days ago, a giant dragon as recorded in the palace books suddenly appeared in our camp, and the dragon also had a demigod-level strength. With our strength, it was no match for him at all, let alone a demigod-level dragon. As long as the dragon approached our soldiers, many soldiers fainted. It was impossible for us to fight with the dragon. In order to protect our troops, I gave them the food without any help."
"Dragon?" An elder behind Cameron immediately laughed: "Stephen, you won't embezzle food and then can't find an excuse, so you said that? Dragon? There has never been a dragon in our God-Grace Continent. You even said it was a demigod-level dragon. Don't you think your lies are too naive?"
This legendary elder who mocked Stephen is called Curtis. Curtis is Stephen's mortal enemy, so whenever he has the chance, he will attack Stephen.
After hearing Curtis's words, the other two legendary elders under Stephen could not sit still. They also saw with their own eyes that if they lost so much food for no reason and caused the situation to change, their responsibilities would not be shirkable and they would definitely not be able to take advantage of them.
The two elders immediately stood up and said, "Curtis, don't talk nonsense there. Everything Elder Stephen said is true. There was indeed a giant dragon that appeared at the beginning. The dragon was even greater than what was recorded in the books in the palace. Its strength was definitely at the level of a demigod. At that time, there were two humans sitting on the dragon, one man and one woman with the strength of the holy level. We all know about this matter, and you will know if you go and investigate it."
After hearing the words of the two elders, Cameron nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll send someone to investigate and find out."
In the army of the Pope, there are many secret spies just to monitor the generals for any rebellious behavior so that the Pope can know in time. In this way, the Pope will have time to prepare when encountering an emergency. It turns out that the Pope himself wants to keep a move. After all, it would be a bad idea to hand over the army to his subordinates. If someone takes it for himself, it would be a bad idea to rebel.
Cameron sent a few secret spies and immediately asked Stephen's answer in the army if it was true?
Soon Cameron's deputy received the news from the spy and quietly came to Cameron's ear and said, "Great Elder, Elder Stephen is right. Twenty days ago, a giant dragon did appear. The size of the dragon was even greater than that recorded in history books in the Pope Palace. His strength did reach the level of a demigod. When he came, there were two humans sitting on the dragon, the man robbed Elder Stephen's army of food in the name of the dragon, leaving only one day of food, and then left."
After hearing the adjutant's words, Cameron said to Stephen: "Elder Stephen is right. A demigod-level dragon did appear at the beginning." After that, Cameron asked Stephen: "Stephen, do you think that demigod-level dragon is an enemy or a friend?"
Stephen heard Cameron's words and thought, "I can't explain clearly. If it was an enemy, it would be easy to destroy our troops with a demigod-level dragon, but they left after only taking the food. A woman sat on the back of the dragon. Her breath seemed to be the top leaders of our Holy See, but we didn't know her. To say that they were our friends, the timing of their appearance was too coincidental. Just when we fought the Amazon Empire and showed up, we took our food and forced us to withdraw. From the language of those two humans, they should not be humans on our continent, and they might have come to our God-Grand Continent by accident."
Cameron nodded helplessly and said, "If they were not our God-Grace Continent, it would be best if they left the continent. But if they are still there, it seems that we should be careful. It would be fine if they are our friends, but if they are enemies, we might have to invite the Pope to fight hard."
