History and coincidences in the 38th chapter

Crusaders, Schwab gradually learned that there were the same religious wars on this continent. The most famous of them was the Crusades, the liberation of the Holy City where the Son of God was born, and the desire for Eastern wealth, which made the nobles and civilians eager. Before Schwab came, three crusades had occurred. The proclamation of war on the pagans on the day of St. Martin, advocated by the Pope of the Holy Father, the declaration of war on the pagans was the beginning. The first expedition was carried out by the fanatical civilians under the leadership of the poor knight Silb and the monk Jom. However, these ragtag crusaders, before they reached the Holy City, were annihilated in the Ildan Province by the army of the pagan Kafa Sultan. There were more than 10,000 people, and less than 300 people fled back.

Three years later, the unwilling Western monarchs re-summoned the nobles and knights. The advocates were the kings of the Pumenbruce Empire and the Bruce Kingdom. They led the coalition forces of the two countries and captured several territories of the pagans, but failed three hundred kilometers away from the Holy City. However, the renovated coalition forces of the two countries took advantage of the enemy's return to the city and violently attacked the pagans and finally recovered the Holy City. After dividing the recovered territory into several principalities and counties, the two sides completely became chaotic due to various conflicts and dispersed and retreated back to their homeland. Soon, the Pumenbruce Empire caused the decline of the royal family due to civil strife, and the Bruce Kingdom also fell into a long war with the northern island kingdom of Kate due to territorial disputes.

The massive retreat of Western troops made the principalities with the Holy City lose their backbone. Pagans made a comeback and drove Western forces out of the Holy City again. Hearing this news, His Majesty the III of the Pope vomited blood and died. The new Pope called for the sacred war again. The Third Crusade was full of talents. The most outstanding emperor of the Pumenbruce Empire, Frederick the Great became a hero that people would like to be expected. People believe that he would definitely win the Pu

The royal flag of Menbruce was inserted at the top of the holy city. Unfortunately, the emperor who led the three thousand knights and ten thousand infantry of the Pumenbruce Empire was unstoppable along the way, which made the enemy frightened, but unfortunately died in a stream. The heavy armor killed the heroic emperor, which made the people of the Pumenbruce Empire unable to accept this fact. People would rather believe that the heroic emperor was just sleeping in the Castle of Kubasar.

The new king of the rebellious Kate Kingdom who was in charge of the power of the coalition forces, when the knights of the Pumenbruce Empire who were unwilling to fail fought bloody battles and inserted the imperial flag representing honor on the top of the city, the pretentious King of Kate Kingdom, contemptuously stepped on the bodies of the people of the Pumenbruce people and smashed the flag of honor, because he believed that he was the commander of this Eastern Expedition. The Pumenbruce people did not have the right to raise the flag, and the humiliating Pumenbruce people had to return to their hometown with regret and regret.

"What a humiliating history." After listening to the history of the Eastern Expedition by Old Lauke, although Schwab was a Celestial figure in his previous life and did not care about the filth among the Westerners, he has now become a Pumenbruce. The humiliation that King Kate brought to the Pumenbruce made him empathize and indignate.

"There is no way. If Frederick the Great is still alive, who dares to disrespect us? But now even the royal family is in danger. Tsk, this is a pity." Old Lauke shook his head and said.

"The fragmentation within us is also one of the reasons for the weakness, and it is not for others to look down on us." Schwab personally felt that when the great nobleman of the northern country, Duke Han Ruowei was attacked by the Ruowei people, except for his vassals, there was no support from others. The royal family even acted deaf and dumb. It was not until the war was won that he falsely sent envoys to express condolences. This attitude made Duke Han Ruowei, who was a vassal, feel very upset.

"Haha, but what's the solution? The elected emperors were not good at it. They took advantage of the royal family's opportunity to organize the Eastern Expedition to develop their own power and once forced the royal family to hand over power. The royal family was also dissatisfied with the vassals below." Old Lauke analyzed the whole story to Schwab, and it seemed that the filth among the nobles was indeed very complicated.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Duke Han Ruowei invited us to attend his son's oath ceremony. The heir of the duke finally obtained his fief." Schwab stood up and asked a tailor to help him make a dress. As a vassal of Duke Han Ruowei, Schwab had the responsibility to watch the ceremony, and this was also a good opportunity to strengthen the connection with the duke's family. Don't think that just burying the development of his own territory is the hard truth. Sometimes political connections are also very important, otherwise you will be humiliated by your neighbors.

"It is said that Devire, the eldest son of the Duke of Hanrowe, is close to Prince Masimirk and is one of the prince's close friends." Lao Lauk reminded Schwa to preach, which means that the eldest son of the duke is still very powerful, but this is also the norm in this era. The royal family usually maintains close ties with the great nobles.

"So he is the next duke who is determined to be on the nail. Go to the town to pick a few good gifts and give them to this master." Schwab thought for a while and turned around and ordered. This is his future boss. When he thinks of this, Schwab feels a little distressed. When will he become a real master?

"Yes, Lord Earl." Old Lauke retreated after receiving the order.

Speaking of which, when Schwab prepared the gift and set off for Han Ruowei by participating in the ceremony of the eldest son of Duke Han Ruowei, the prince Masimilk was also heading to Han Ruowei with his followers. This moment was called the encounter of fate by historians. If Masimilk had not met Schwab, maybe everything would be different.

"Otto, don't be nervous. We have so many cavalrymen. No robber dares to rob us." Schwab rode on the horse and comforted him as he looked at the bald Otto, who was tense and alert all the time.

"When you come out, Baron Coro and everyone ask me to protect you." Bald Otto said in embarrassment. Because there are still many things to be dealt with in Stockingshire, Baron Coro and Baron Rugodie remained in the territory, so the important task of protecting Schwab fell on Otto's shoulders.

"Master, Master, I will protect you." The dwarf Rud chased after Schwab's horse. Because Schwab had mercy on the old servant, he sent him to Mark Fort to rest, but he said he would follow Schwab's side. Therefore, in addition to the young attendant William, there was another long-winded fat man next to Schwab.

The surrounding paths are covered by green shade. The environmental protection of this era is still very powerful, but many green forest heroes have also emerged. These robbers usually ambush the forests next to the road, killing passengers with their bows and arrows in their hands at any time, robbing their luggage and purses. However, Schwab was not worried. Just knights were not only wearing black armor on his body, but also following more than 30 knights and more than 50 armed servants. This was a completely small army.

"It would be better if there were robbers. I processed documents in Oshevido Castle every day. I haven't waved my sword on the battlefield for a long time." Schwab yawned and said shamelessly, but unfortunately he was hit by his crow's mouth. Suddenly, shouting and the sound of weapons colliding came from the forest beside the road.

"What's going on? Be wary and protect the Count." Bald Otto quickly drew his sword and shouted to the knights.

"Don't panic, let's see what's going on?" Schwab listened calmly, and found that the fighting sound was not far from him. He said to the knights, and then drove forward to prepare to explore it.

"Ah, damn robber~~~."

"Protect the master." On the bank of a stream, several people were fighting with weapons. Schwab saw that the number of people was an advantageous group of people wearing cloth clothes, wind hoods, holding simple bows and short swords in their hands, and fighting against them were several rangers wearing chain armor and leaning against each other to defend each other. They nervously protected a young man in the middle. Although these rangers had excellent swordsmanship, some of them had been shot into the arm by arrows, and the flowing blood dripped on the soil.

"Otto, let's go." Schwab looked at the situation excitedly. Although these green forest robbers were quite large, they should not be the opponents of him and others. Schwab, who had not shown his skills for a long time, became excited. He shouted the battle quotation and drew out his sharp sword, "Grass, mud horse, kill~~~."

"Kill, protect the Count." Otto had no choice but to command the knights and protect Schwab to rush towards the robbers. The robbers did not expect a group of knights to come out from beside them. Although these knights were very skillful in the forest, they jumped over the tree roots and flower vines, held up their swords, and slashed at the abominable robbers.

"Master, we are saved, thank God." The group of knights shouted excitedly when they saw the reinforcements coming out halfway.

Under the attack of the knights on both sides, the robbers were cut into pieces. They hurriedly retreated into the dense forest in horror. Schwab stopped his men from chasing. These robbers must be more familiar with the terrain here than others.

"Thank you, the kindest, if we hadn't met you, we would have been killed." Among the knights, the young man who had always maintained a calm and reserved nodded to Schwab. Schwab looked at the young man full of noble temperament, and the young man also looked at the knight in black armor with curious eyes.
