Chapter 731 Camp Roar 2

The desperate roars, the killings without distinction between friend and foe, the soldiers were like those possessed by the devil... The Crusaders were caught in a huge disaster.

The Crusaders were not the only ones who witnessed this large-scale camp roar.

The reconnaissance squad of the third company of the first battalion of the Arda Marine Corps was ordered to approach the Crusaders' camp under the cover of night to provide intelligence for the planned revenge.

The soldiers hid themselves in the bushes and silently watched the scene in the distance that they had never seen before.

In the Arda army, from generals to soldiers, they actually knew about the so-called camp roar. When the instructors popularized military knowledge to the soldiers, this was an aspect that they emphasized, and explained the reasons for it from a psychological perspective.

This is very different from the practice of other armies that regard it as a taboo, taboo to mention it, and explain it with reasons such as demon possession.

But when they saw it with their own eyes in reality, they were still shocked by its horror.

Afterwards, the squad leader wrote in the reconnaissance report:

"Everyone went crazy and fell into an indescribable state of madness. Maybe some people could stay awake at the beginning, but they were immediately swallowed up by this huge indescribable quagmire. The soldiers used any weapons they could get at the first time, screaming terribly and rushing towards their comrades who were fighting side by side during the day, either killing each other or being killed by each other."

"The bloody fight lasted until four in the morning. The chaos in the camp caused a fire, which saved those who were still alive. Although they were crazy, they still scattered and hid out of fear of fire. Only then did their reason return to their minds a little. Another important reason was that everyone was exhausted."

"The allied forces in Niceburg did not take the opportunity to attack outside the city. The chaos in the Crusader camp should be observed from the city wall. Perhaps they thought it was a trap, or perhaps they were also frightened by the scene of the Crusader killing each other."

The Marine scouts retreated before the sun rose.

At that time, the terrible camp roar finally stopped. The fire caused by the chaos burned the camp of the Crusaders. The ground was full of burnt corpses, but these corpses may have fallen under the butcher knife of their companions before the flames spread to their bodies.

The surviving King Garret III of Collins, supported by the surviving messenger of the Horn Bay Church, Keo, became the person who temporarily took charge of the overall situation.

As for the former commander of the Crusaders, General Cook, unfortunately, he was found dead next to the stable near the sleeping place. At that time, he may have tried to ride a horse to escape the chaos in the camp, and then was surrounded by the chaotic soldiers. The general's body was full of terrible knife wounds, but it was easy to identify because it was not affected by the fire. The bodies of the guards and more chaotic soldiers were lying around.

Cook was sent to Horn Bay by the Holy See thousands of miles away to help the local church win the sectarian war, but he died just when he was just one step away from victory, and the victory was gone.

There was no time to mourn for the general. The Crusaders had to retreat before the allied forces in Niceburg could react. They had already suffered huge losses last night. It was unrealistic to resume the attack anyway. Even if they still had some strength left, they needed to repair and replenish.

So under the command of Gatler III, the Crusaders hurriedly collected the bodies, packed up their bags, and retreated to a stronghold in the direction of the rear. Only when they got there did they have time to count the number of people.

The result was terrible. When they attacked Niceburg, they had a full 30,000 people. After many days of siege, there were still more than 26,000 people as of yesterday. However, after this terrible camp roar, the result of the count at this time was less than 10,000 people. There was a rough report after collecting the bodies before retreating. Nearly 10,000 bodies were buried, so nearly 6,000 people were still missing. The combined losses were much greater than the casualties caused by the siege.

As the main offensive force in this war, the Southern Crusaders suffered heavy losses.

King Collins and the church envoy gathered everyone, and after a discussion, they quickly determined the situation: the evil and corrupt Sacrilegious Alliance cast terrible witchcraft on the Guardians, and everyone was affected by the power of taboos and killed each other. At the same time, the greedy and illegal merchants in the nearby Lion Port also provided help to the Sacrilegious Alliance.

Lake Heart Town.

Paul met with the envoy of the Horn Bay Church in the castle.

The other party handed over a handwritten letter from Archbishop Elvis of Horn Bay, which severely condemned the Horn Bay merchants in Lion Port for maintaining large-scale trade with the Sacrilegious Alliance during the war. The continuous influx of weapons and supplies caused great trouble to the military operations of the Guardians, which seriously violated the various bans issued by the Horn Bay Church.

As the initiator of this war, the Horn Bay Church naturally believed that all entities in its diocese should be under the jurisdiction of its ban-even if it did not actually occupy the place militarily.

Paul sneered at this in his heart, and the Guardians also bought a lot of things from Lion Port.

He smiled and said to the church messenger: "Dear sir, first of all, I want to make my position clear. I have always supported the sacred and great cause of the church. If this group of businessmen were in my territory, I would not hesitate to throw them into jail... I mean, on the premise that they violated local laws." He still added a premise to prevent the other party from going too far.

"But unfortunately they are in the Horn Bay. I can't control anything they do. Even if they commit crimes, they are not in Arda, and I can't control them. And Lion Port is also a city built by these merchants overseas. The land was purchased from the Horn Bay Alliance. I am the lord of Aldo. How can I exert my power there?"

In order to avoid all kinds of troubles, Lion Port has always been officially stated that it is an autonomous city established by a group of merchants, although many people know what is actually going on.

"In this case, does it mean that the church can punish these greedy merchants who committed crimes in foreign lands on your behalf?"

The church envoy was not as angry as Paul expected, but just sneered silently and raised this question.

No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9!

"Does this... include the use of force?"

"Of course!"

Paul was silent for a moment, and said: "I advise you to think of other gentle methods. As far as I know, the production in Jiaowan has been greatly damaged by the war, and the role of Lion Port is irreplaceable."

"For the great cause of God, any sacrifice is worth it." The messenger seemed to feel that he had grasped Paul, his eyebrows raised, and his expression was proud.

"Then I can only express my regret!" Paul spread his hands helplessly.

The messenger of Jiaowan Church left the Northwest Bay very unhappily.

But he didn't know that the new order from Lake Heart Town went south almost at the same time-instructing Lion Port to quell the surrounding military threats in the name of volunteers.
