Battle 8:

Mikhail vs the Divine Church

This battle is set in 3 stages with a break in between each stage.

The beginning of the first battle shows the Divine Church's ninjas jumping over the walls of the Librof castle.  The gate is subsequently opened allowing free access to Librof by the Divine Church.  Your general must stop them.

[General You Choose] (2500) vs Galbaldi (4000, Atk Wave)

This battle is different than any of the others.  The objective is to stall long enough until the 6 invaders have been killed.  After they are killed, the gates can be reclosed forcing the Divine Church to withdraw.  Alternatively, you can attempt to completely wipe the Divine Church's army out here, but that will be harder.  If even 1 unit gets past your troops, you will lose this battle!  If you bough Defense for the castle, you'll be able to use 1 Rock Throw on your enemies.  It works just like it did when Librof used it against you.  Becareful: you can kill your own troops using this tactic.  I recommend using the Def Wave formation because your stronger troops will be up against their calvary.  Keep holding your defense out in All Defense until they use Move Back.  Now use Fwd Attack to hit them in their backs and, when they turn around, revert back to All Defense.  Repeat this process enough, and you should be able to hold out until all the invaders are killed.

Only 4 left...

Once this happens, you will have won this stage of the battle.

Stage 2

Mikhail (4000) vs Acute (4000, Def Wave)

The enemy has 4000 soldiers.  We also have 4000.  Please defeat the enemy.

You now must defeat the Divine Church's troops before they are able to escape into the desert.  I recommend, as always, that you use the Gush Wind formation.  If you bought mercenaries, you will have some ninjas at your disposal.  All I can say is use Spd Atk Fwd... wow that was brutal.  If they get the chance to use All Charge, use Intel L 1 then your own All Charge.  This proves my theory: the best formation is Gush Wind.

3 seconds into battle... in 2 more seconds we saw the Commander die.  Heh.

After brutally wiping the floor with the Divine Church, you will end up in the desert.  Food and water run out quickly here- and so does morale.

Mikhail (remaining) vs Sharl(?) (4000, Div Church)

Both the enemy and his ally are having a low morale.

Erm... Sharl?  Don't reuse names like that Square!  You're confusing us...  Well now you must be wondering: if I'm fighting the Divine Church, where are all the religious zealots?  Well here they are.  Yes, the fundamentalist Church members are willing to blow themselves up to attempt to wipe you out so don't forget your Intel L 1.  I'm sure they'll find Fwd Attack much more to their liking...  Anyways, start this battle out with a gool 'ol Spd Atk Fwd.  Most likely you'll notice your morale is falling amazingly quickly.  Morale is a moot point in this battle- neither you nor your enemy will ever have any (of if you use Recover Frm of some sort) or for any length of time.  Finally, a battle where morale just doesn't matter too much anymore ;).

Make sure to use Intel L 1 before you get to this point.  This message is not something you want to see.  At this point there is a count of 3 then boom go some of their members, killing lots of yours.

Actually, you could use that to your advantage.  You can just move back whenever they try to use their exploding believers, and they'll keep sustaining losses.

Sadly, you will not be able to gather any tactics from these battles.  You will gain alot of money in the Ruling Game and you prestige will move up to Strong (if it was previously untouched.)
