The Periodic Table of Words at Hogwarts

Chapter 259 Persuade to surrender

"My Lord Bishop, we can confirm that the enemy's stronghold is in this area, but the vanguard of the front line has already adopted a trap, so we do not recommend that you continue to move forward for the time being."

After receiving permission, a scout opened the door of the command tent and reported to the two people who were having dinner inside.

"Set up camp first, and slowly test the remaining roads with trebuchets. You will always find the barrier of those witches."

The knight commander ate a piece of barbecue and said calmly.

"Yes, my lord".

The scout saluted and walked out of the tent.

"We are moving too slowly, and I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it to the Vatican."

The Vatican Bishop in gorgeous clothes said with some dissatisfaction.

"We brought these troops this time without any reserves, so we must be cautious in our attack."

Favaro Leo took a sip of wine and then frowned.

"The food has begun to spoil. You'd better send your food convoy to search for food in nearby towns, otherwise our supplies will last for a few months at most."

"I'm not in a hurry about this. I just hope that we can rush directly into the enemy's castle with the force of thunder, catch all those wizards and send them to the stake!"

The fat bishop let out a disgusting laugh, and then ran his hands around the boy in his arms.

"Then I'll take my leave now. The construction machinery will complete calibration and test firing tonight. By tomorrow morning, we can directly identify the opponent's location and then launch an attack."

Favaro Leo resisted the nausea in his heart, stood up, bowed to the bishop sent directly by the Pope, and then walked out of the tent.

"It's disgusting."

Favaro Leo shook his head irritably, muttering in a low voice.

"How's the probe ball doing?"

Shaking away the disgusting feeling in his head, Favaro Leo asked his attendant.

"Sir, we have measured the approximate direction, but the other party must have used hidden witchcraft. The range we measured is very general, and we can only test it slowly with a trebuchet."

A young man dressed as a bachelor said respectfully.

"It must be tested tonight. When the soldiers have finished their breakfast tomorrow morning, we will officially start the attack."

Favaro Leo nodded, and the current development of things was still within his expectations.

As the youngest trial knight in the history of the Papal State, Favaro Leo has very excellent military qualities, both in terms of intelligence and physical strength.

Before this battle, he had defeated armies of wizards several times.

Most of these armies have little sense of combat and are easily defeated, but the wizard's powerful single-target killing ability will also cause huge casualties to the Pope's Judgment Army.

Therefore, when he learned that the four most powerful wizards had united and raised a decent army by teaching apprentices, Favaro Leo felt a sense of crisis.

"However, no matter how powerful those wizards are, they can't hurt us from a thousand meters away."

Putting aside some of his inner worries, Favaro Leo returned to his living tent, lay down on the traveling hammock, and forced himself to fall asleep.

………………

"Good morning, Volga, you haven't slept all night, have you?"

The next morning, everyone discovered that Hufflepuff, who was on duty last night, had red eyes and some swollen eyes.

"Unfortunately, in the middle of the night yesterday, the rocks they threw randomly hit our barrier and we were exposed."

Hufflepuff said calmly while serving breakfast for everyone.

"We have been prepared for this for a long time, and now it sounds like we are relieved."

Gryffindor said half-jokingly.

"Then let's go and take a look at the top of the tower first."

Dumbledore didn't seem to have slept well last night, because a somewhat anxious Slytherin knocked on the door of his room in the middle of the night and chatted with him until morning.

"This is an invigorating potion that can improve a person's spirit. If you don't drink too much, there will be no side effects."

Zhang Qi put a bottle on the table, and everyone added a little bit of juice to their glasses and drank it.

"It's very effective. Sure enough, potion technology has also developed over time."

Hufflepuff felt a lot more energetic, so she said very friendly.

"Let's go, we have a tough battle today."

Zhang Qi stood up first and then adjusted his clothes.

"Yes, it is indeed a tough battle, but we will definitely win it!"

Gryffindor waved his fist excitedly, and then everyone walked to the tower outside.

…………

"Reporting to the Lord Knight, all the siege equipment has been assembled. As long as you give the order now, we can launch an attack immediately"!

"Very well, when the light is brighter, I will order an attack."

Favaro Leo nodded with great satisfaction.

"Good morning, Lord Bishop, did you sleep well last night?"

At this moment, Favaro Leo heard the heavy footsteps behind him.

No need to ask, it must be the fat guy who can be related to a pig.

"Ah, I slept very well last night."

The fat bishop looked very energetic, with a glowing face, as if he had been very relaxed last night.

"Then, Knight Commander, before launching the general attack, I hope to go to the enemy's castle in person to persuade them to surrender."

"I don't think you need to do this. The people in the castle are the most stubborn enemies. They should hate us to the core. Your safety is likely to be in danger."

Favaro Leo said politely.

"No, no, no, as a clergy, this is a necessary prerequisite. We must ensure that God can give instructions to the enemy through us, but if they refuse to obey God's will, then we must completely eliminate them."

"What if the other side surrenders"?

The knight commander asked coldly.

"Then we will organize a fair trial and send the guilty to the stake."

When the bishop said this, he mounted his white horse decorated with gorgeous accessories, and then drunkenly walked slowly forward.

"You drank so much wine in the morning, why did the Pope send such a thing here?"

Favaro Leo stamped his feet angrily, then mounted his horse and followed the bishop.

But just five minutes later, Favaro Leo saw a scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life.
