The Constitutional Army felt that they had done their best. Before the attack of the Evil God Navy, they had prepared all the means of counterattack, whether it was the coastal artillery, the Constitutional Army Navy warships, or the requisitioned commercial escort ships, they were all in place.
The signalman set out an hour ago and rushed to the nearby military base. The support troops from other cities would arrive in Belfort as soon as possible. As long as they persisted for three hours, the first wave of support would arrive, and at least the second line of defense could be organized in Belfort.
Division Commander Rubio stood behind the coastal artillery position, where the command center was located. He had done everything he could. The next step was to grit his teeth and fight the Evil God Navy, and then wait for a miracle, or wait for the result.
After stopping for a long time, the Evil God Navy finally moved forward. Before the Constitutional Army fought with the Evil God Navy, Division Commander Rubio turned his head and looked at the suburbs.
Thick smoke suddenly appeared in the suburbs of Belfort, and soon an officer came to the command center behind the coastal artillery position.
"Lieutenant General, there is a rebellion in the factory outside! Those believers who claim to have given up their faith are destroying the factory's equipment without regard for their lives! The factory's militia guards have begun to suppress the rebellion, but there are too many believers, so they still destroyed a lot of machines!"
Rubio did not support using believers to supplement the labor shortage at the beginning, but the voices of the alchemist factory owners were too loud. As a military man, he could not influence the operation of the parliament, so he had no say.
Now the consequences of accepting too many believers appear. Believers are always unstable. Unlike alchemists who believe in truth and logic, believers' beliefs are deep in their bones. Alchemists can worship a physicist today and another physicist who proposed a subversive theory tomorrow. The believers' beliefs are unique, only their evil gods.
"Don't divide the troops! Let the militia and the police station deal with the believers' rebellion! Tell them to shoot directly, don't hesitate!"
The officers who received the order left and conveyed the attitude of the division commander Rubio.
The police station and the militia could not help in the naval battle and were in a hurry. They did not get the permission of the congressmen and did not dare to attack the believers and workers. At this time, they got the permission of the division commander Rubio and excitedly opened the safety of their weapons.
Even at this time, the manager of the factory was still blocking the police station.
"We can still talk! We can definitely talk! If there were no workers from the southern continent, the factory would definitely stop!"
This time, the police station and the militia were very tough. They threw grenades directly at the rebellious believers.
Amid the roar of the grenade, the deputy director of the police station kicked the manager over.
"Talk about shit! Belfort is about to fall! You are still staring at your iron cans and tracks!"
This manager knew a lot of information. He had a heart-to-heart talk with the managers of several nearby factories. Even if the evil god ruled here, what would it matter? At worst, they can work as managers for the factories of the Kuntun Church, or the Craftsman Church. They have skills and management experience, so where can they not make a living?
These police officers are different. The church does not need these police officers to maintain order.
The deputy director of the police station sometimes hates these professional managers of the councillors very much. These people attach too much importance to property, and many tasks of the police station cannot be carried out, because the councillors will send various managers to convey their needs, and the normal work of the police station often needs to give way to the councillors' business.
After getting the support of the Constitutional Army, the rebellion of believers is actually very easy to deal with. The believers do not have the power of apostles, so they just shoot until the believers are afraid and retreat, and the rebellion is over.
Don't look at the good propaganda of the parliament when accepting believers. As long as the believers give up their faith, the parliament treats them exactly the same as others. But when it comes to life and death, there is an essential difference between the two sides. Only blood will make them understand that they are stowaways from the South Continent, not citizens of the Alchemy Parliament.
"Congressman Charles will not let you go! This is a barbaric act of piracy!"
The manager's shouting had no effect. He was usually a high-ranking factory manager, but in the face of violence, he was a useless agent. During the war, even Congressman Charles behind him had to listen to the arrangements of the Constitutional Army, not to mention Charles's several factories.
There was a rumbling sound of continuous gunfire from the port, and the ships of both sides finally fought!
The advantage of the Constitutional Army is that there are 8 level 7 artillery in their coastal defense artillery. The level 7 alchemical shells rushed out of the muzzle and hit the ships of the evil god cult heavily.
The 6 flagships of the evil god cult navy are equipped with level 7 alchemical reinforcement arrays, and the rest are level 6 and level 5 reinforcement arrays. Lieutenant General Rubio's tactics are very clear. Use level 7 alchemical shells to suppress the flagship of the evil god cult, and then use other alchemical shells to quickly sink other smaller ships. The number of level 7 alchemical cannons is greater than that of the flagship of the evil god cult. Each round of salvo can allow the surplus level 7 alchemical cannons to bombard other ships, thereby expanding the advantage.
Rubio's tactics are very correct. There is no more correct tactic than this, until he saw the level 8 cardinal priest!
The first to take action was Daud, the level 8 cardinal priest of the trapped church. He suddenly flew into the air. The black light of the artifact in his hand proved his identity. The artifact has a huge power of faith.
Daud threw a black iron rod into the air. The iron rod quickly split in the air, turning into dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of iron rods. These iron rods quickly flew towards the six flagships.
After arriving above each flagship, the black iron rods formed a wall of iron walls, the trapped iron wall, which was the name of this artifact.
Level 7 alchemical shells hit the iron walls one by one, making a roar and then exploding. The smoke and dust from the explosion dissipated with the sea breeze, revealing the artifact underneath which was intact and without a scratch.
Master Rubio's arms were stiff, and he slowly put down the telescope. There was confusion and despair in his eyes.
Six level 8 cardinal priests?
He saw cardinal priests in red standing on the bow of each flagship.
Except for the level 9 priest pope, each church has only 2 to 3 cardinal priests, and all of these cardinal priests are big figures in the church.
Cardinal priests from 6 churches were all present. No, there must be a seventh cardinal priest, a level 8 fraudulent cardinal priest disguised as another apostle.
This time, the evil god cult is not going to attack the northern continent, nor is it going to weaken the northern continent, but all its members are going out to really let the evil god return to the northern continent... Rubio's face was ashen, all his preparations were a joke, the southern continent had put everything on the line, but the main force of Sielba was still fighting fiercely with the werewolves on the western front and confronting the knights on the eastern front. How could they possibly win?
