Chapter 96: The Conspiracy in the Holy City
Chapter 96 Conspiracy in the Holy City
Schwab looked at the white cloak in front of him, with a red cross on it. For many people, this was a sacred cloak. It represented the identity of a crusade. He put on this cloak, holding a sharp sword and whipping it in the pagans, stabbing the sword into the chest of the pagan Sultan like lightning, completely destroying the enemy of God.
"Sir, it's so majestic." Looking at Schwab, wearing black plate armor and crusade cloak, Baron Coro and Baron Rugodie sincerely exclaimed.
"I heard that our Teutonic knights also obtained such a cloak?" Schwab sorted out his armor. The young attendant William had become an officer. The new attendant had not yet taken office. Schwab had to wear his breastplate, leg armor and arm armor with the help of the dwarf Rud.
"Yes, the Holy See is very satisfied with our knights." Liugudi touched his beard proudly, and he was very proud of the energetic young men under his command.
"Well, the Teutonic armor in our craftsman's workshop is almost equipped with the knights, but I have never thought of the appropriate pattern only with the cloak, but now I think of it." Schwab didn't want his Teutonic knights to become the thugs of the Holy See. He wanted to distinguish these knights from his own.
"Oh, what pattern is it?" Baron Coro asked curiously.
"White cloak, black cross." Schwab put on his iron gloves and said to Baron Coro and others.
"Well, it's not bad, very solemn." Baron Coro and Baron Rugodie didn't think so much. As long as the cross pattern was a warrior of gods, not to mention that many knights would design their own iconic patterns, which the Holy See had no control over.
"Master, a young priest asked to see you." At this time, the dwarf Rud reported to Schwab that as a relatively qualified count was summoned, the Holy See would ask a special person to lead to Eiffel Cathedral, but only at the same time, only one priest came. What does this mean? Schwab looked at his subordinates for a moment.
"please."
"Oh, honorable, ah, Count Stedetin, I, I am here to lead you to Eiffel Cathedral, I, my name is Andras." In front of Schwab was a young priest. He stuttered and blushed with his face without saying a word.
"It's too much. Our monarch is a vassal of the Duke of Hanruowei in the north, or a military adviser to the royal family of Pumbruce. How could he assign a little hairy child to send us? Are we beggars?" Baron Coro shouted angrily, his roar made the poor child pale, and he took a few steps back timidly, and almost fell himself.
"No, no, I just follow the orders." Andras was almost scared to death by Baron Coro, who had been through the battlefield for a long time. The nobleman in front of him emitted the smell of blood on the battlefield, and his murderous aura made him, who had only seen the gentle nobleman, frightened.
"Okay, Baron Coro, don't be embarrassed by this child. Okay, then please lead us to the cathedral." Schwabro thought about it and realized that it must be Cardinal Edward's embarrassment. After all, he came to his territory. Instead of making it difficult for a child to go and see what he planned to do.
"Okay, please come with me." Andras led Schwab and others away with a blood-faced face. Eiffel Cathedral is in the suburbs outside the Holy City. Through the quiet forest path there, you can see a spire-top white marble church.
"Sir, what does the Holy See mean? Why didn't the priests of the Cardinal come but sent a low-level priest?" Baron Coro asked Schwab on his horse. He also felt something was wrong, but there was no way to tell the details.
"Baron Coro, Baron Rugodie, don't you think this forest is too quiet?" Schwab did not answer Baron Coro's question. He looked around vigilantly, and a strange feeling surged into his heart. This was a feeling that only on the battlefield.
"That's right, not right, there are no birds in the forest." Baron Liugudi quietly placed his hand on the hilt of the sword. He looked at the lush forest, as if someone was looking at his group there.
"Be careful." Suddenly Schwab pushed Andras, who was leading the way for him and others in front, and a crossbow arrow rubbed the head of the thin priest over the head, and there were crossbowmen ambushing both sides of the forest.
"The grass is the crossbowman." Baron Coro shouted and pulled out his sword. He didn't know how many enemies there were in the forest, so he could only guard Schwab. Five Teutonic knights immediately pulled out their maces. They carried shields so they could block the crossbow arrows flying like locusts.
"No, they were not coming to us." Schwab soon discovered that these crossbow arrows were not shooting at him and others, but were constantly shooting at the little priest Andras.
"God, save me." Little Andrews crawled on the ground. Perhaps it was God's appearance, and crossbows hit him one after another, but he was unscathed.
"Go and bring a shield to protect him." Schwab immediately pushed the two Teutonic knights towards Andras, who used their shields to block the crossbow arrows, approached Andras, and pulled him up and dragged him into the defense circle of Schwab and others.
"Kill them~~~." After a moment after the crossbow was launched, a group of mercenaries suddenly rushed out of the forest. They wore domes or wide iron helmets, leather armor, holding long swords and halberds in their hands and rushed towards Schwab and others.
"Shit, it's a damn southern mercenary. What's going on?" Baron Liugudi couldn't help but curse loudly. No one would be in a good mood if he was inexplicably ambushed and chased.
"Don't worry about him, kill these miscellaneous pieces, haha." Baron Coro was not caring. He sneered and waved his sword, rushing towards the southern mercenaries, which stabbed the enemy like a windmill.
"Teutonic spirit will last forever~~~." The Teutonic knights also jumped up. They used their shields to protect their bodies to block the enemy's sword or halberd, and slammed the enemy's head with the heavy sticks and maces in their hands. The iron helmets did not protect these southern mercenaries. The heavy blunt weapon hit the helmets, and blood burst out from the helmets. The mercenaries screamed and fell to the ground and stopped moving. The Teutonic knights became more and more brave as they killed. They used this heavy blunt weapon all year round to make them extremely powerful, and it was their pleasure to smash the enemy's bones.
"Hu, the young man is causing a lot of trouble when he sees you, haha." Schwab looked at the little Andras curled up at his feet, smiled and blocked the long halberd that a mercenary stretched over, and then quickly and accurately pierced into the other party's throat.
"Woo, woo, woo~~~." Little Andras was trembling all over. He was frightened by the fight. A priest who was quietly staying in the church was suddenly involved in the killing. Perhaps he could only have such a reaction.
"Escape quickly, these guys are so powerful." Looking at Schwab and others who were getting braver in the battle, the southern mercenaries finally realized that they had mentioned the iron plate. Their leader had to retreat into the forest with his own people. In the distance, some Holy See guards heard the fighting and fighting here and rushed over.
"Bah, these damn things are really vulnerable, not as good as the robbers in the north." Baron Coro spitted a mouthful of saliva with blood and looked at the mercenaries who were fleeing in a panic.
"Are you okay?" When the Holy See's guards arrived, the battle had ended. Their performance was just like the policeman who watched in the TV that Schwab watched in his previous life. He always waited until the matter was over before he came late.
"What the hell is going on?" Baron Coro grabbed the little Andras who was still trembling, and put his blood-splattered face in front of the frightened child, who was almost fainted by the smell of blood.
"Hey, isn't this Cardinal Dezso's nephew?" The Holy Seen at the little priest who was about to be fainted, and said in surprise.
"What? Cardinal's nephew?" Schwab and others looked at the bloodless priest, surprised. What was going on?
"Conspiracy, this must be a conspiracy. Yes, I smelled the strong conspiracy here." Schwab and others were arranged in a church room because they rescued the cardinal's nephew. They were waiting for the arrival of a cardinal. Schwab sat at the desk and muttered to himself.
"Sir, I'm here, I'm sorry." After hearing that Schwab and others were attacked, Srick quickly put down the intelligence work he had at his hands and hurried to Eiffel Cathedral. After learning that he was Schwab's subordinate, the Holy See's guards let him in.
"Srick, you are here, are there any news?" Schwab asked the intelligence chief to lead the Holy City before leaving, and came here to find out the information clearly. After all, Cardinal Edward is the one who sins, and Schwab has been much more careful since he was assassinated.
"First of all, I want to tell you a good news and a bad news. Which one are you going to listen to?" Srik pulled a chair and sat in front of Schwab. He was already familiar with Schwab's disregard for those noble etiquettes, and he was not polite at all when there were no outsiders.
"Listening to the bad one first." Schwab thought for a while and then said.
"Well, the bad news is that this attack is likely to be the hands of Cardinal Edward," Srick said.
"Oh, then attack a nobleman or a crusade, can I use this as a reason to fight back?"
"Sorry, no, if you sued the court, Edward would most likely deny it. He would say that it was just a robber, and don't forget that the Cardinal has supreme status and is immunity, and the court cannot even subpoena him."
"Damn it, are we going to do anything about him like this?" Baron Coro said angrily.
"No, I will tell you the good news. What you saved is Cardinal Dezso's nephew, or an illegitimate son, but it doesn't matter. Cardinal Dezso is a person with equal power in the Cardinal House that is equal to Edward."
"Does the Cardinal be against the Cardinal? That's just a balance. If Edward can be defeated, he wouldn't have waited until now." Schwab shook his head and finally understood Cardinal Edward's overwhelming power.
"If it were the past, there might be no way, but now it's different. This is why Edward attacked you." Srick suddenly looked around, and then said quietly after confirming that there was no one else.
"Oh, what's going on?" Schwab and others asked anxiously.
