Chapter 4 The Murderer
The Holy See is one of the largest organizations in the world, and its power is even above the royal family of the Holy Empire. Even the kings of the empire need to perform junior rituals in front of the pope.
The saint has a very special identity in the Holy See. Although he does not have very substantial power, in terms of status ranking, he is only known as a woman who worships the God of Light under the Pope.
God's women cannot be blasphemed, and every saint is a holy virgin. They will not have any very powerful strength, but they are indispensable in certain special sacrifices.
As the spirits that the Pope communicates with the God of Light, the saints not only have the beauty of the country and the beauty of the country, but also have the power of immortality because of the favor of the gods.
No matter how old they are when they die, they will be in their prime at their peak at the moment before they die.
There are only four such women in the Holy See. They are in the depths of the Holy See. Only when certain natural disasters and man-made disasters occur in certain places and need to be comforted by the Holy See, the Saint will go on a tour on behalf of the Pope to appease the people's emotions.
Although the Saint belongs to the Holy See, the imperial royal family also needs to make some expressions when they return from the tour.
The soldiers on both sides of the pass were not only the most elite soldiers dispatched from each barracks, but also a large number of knights with extraordinary temperament. The queues were neatly and were ready for battle. At first glance, it was quite pleasing to the eye.
Qin Shaofu looked at the knights from afar, feeling envious. As traitors, they were not qualified to line up to greet them, so they could only hide from a distance and watch.
The other servants were also very excited, and their eyes were more on that convoy. As their identities, if they could see the face of the saint, it would be a supreme glory.
The convoy stopped in front and behind the pass, and more than a dozen knights came up to meet him.
These dozen knights were all wearing five-color armor, with extraordinary momentum, and Qin Shaofu was jealous of him when he saw it.
The knight system is extremely strict. Not to mention the rules and morals, even wearing is very strict. This five-color armor is called Xunhua armor, which can only be worn by Lord Knights.
The so-called Lord Knights are all people who have enough strength, have made great contributions, and are qualified to command a legion of 50,000 people.
The silver armor worn by the knight is even more extraordinary. There are wings on both sides of the armor's shoulders, symbolizing the wings of the angel. This armor is called the silver light armor, and it must be a strong man who can command a legion of 200,000 people and has the title of the Sky Knight.
Not to mention the Lord Knights, the number of Heavenly Knights is very small. The entire Holy Empire, the total number is probably only 300, and at least they are all sixth-grade earth-level powerhouses.
These people are all role models for Qin Shaofu, who is determined to become a knight, and the excitement in his eyes cannot be concealed.
At this time, among the Knights of the Empire, a black armored knight came forward, took off his helmet and hugged it on one side, and saluted immediately: "I have seen the Ted Heavenly Knight and knew that the Saint was returning, Your Majesty ordered us to welcome him here."
When the man looked like this, the Sky Knight was quite surprised: "General Thomas, did you come here in person?"
The Holy Empire is different from other countries and has very complex internal resources. Normally, the king should be the supreme ruler of the empire, but the influence of the Holy See is too great, making the Pope the real uncrowned king.
The struggle between royal power and divine power has never stopped, which makes the royal family and the Holy Seemingly peaceful, but privately there are various open and secret struggles.
Just like this saint on tour, there will be someone to welcome the empire every time, but in order to belittle the Holy See, the royal family will send some irrelevant small officials to show that their identity is more noble.
But today is different. General Thomas, one of the five new tiger generals in the Holy Empire, does not say much about strength, but only speaking of power is only higher than him, the Heavenly Knight.
The royal family actually sent him to welcome the Saint, which was no longer different from the king's sending princes and princesses.
Thomas seemed to have expected it and smiled slightly: "His Majesty the King and the Pope's Crown have reached some agreement. We subordinates may not have to be so nervous about getting along in the future."
"This is good news!"
The Sky Knight nodded, waved his hand behind him, and drove alongside General Thomas, leading the convoy towards the pass.
"How is the situation in the Far East?" Thomas said softly: "Some situations I don't say, you should know that the William family, who is responsible for guarding the eastern territory, is too strong and is out of the control of the royal family."
The Sky Knight nodded: "If it weren't for this, His Majesty the King and the Pope's Crown would not have reached an agreement so easily. After all, if the Far East is out of control, it will be of no benefit to anyone. But the situation is fine. Although the William family has a tendency to become a country in the country, they still have no relaxation in resisting the Saracens."
"The difference in faith means incompatibility. Over the years, there have been more than ten thousand people in the Saracens who died at the hands of the William family. If the Far East is lost, the Saracens who believe in the God of the beginning will not be able to let the William family go. Old William knows more about this gain or loss than anyone else."
"That's what it said... "Thomas is still a little worried: "In recent years, I can feel that the power of the Holy See has also been weakened, and pagans have appeared all over the border..."
"General Thomas!"
The Sky Knight held Mah and said dissatisfiedly: "Are you doubting the glory of the God of Light?"
"No!" Thomas shook his head: "We firmly believe that God's glory has always been there, but we believers also need to spread all directions for him. We are the sword in God's hand, and we must protect the glory for him and expand our territory. We have no choice but to do so."
"Blessing of light!"
The Sky Knight saluted to the sky devoutly, and then continued to move forward, saying as he walked: "The situation in the Far East is temporarily stable, and the Chinese in the Linhu Basin have already had good power. They can not only resist the Sarasen people for us, but also suppress the William family. What I am more worried about is the West."
"The lion of Rhine never closed his mouth and could bite at Mount Moria at any time."
As soon as this statement was spoken, Thomas was worried again: "Maybe, I can only wait for the miracle to come."
As we chatted and walked, when we arrived at the military camp at the Pass, we suddenly heard a loud roar, like thunder in the clear sky, which shocked everyone. When we looked at the sound, our face suddenly changed.
A huge black shadow appeared in the sky. Looking closely, it was clearly a huge rock with a diameter of more than ten meters. It flew high from the cliff and smashed towards the military camp in the pass.
"Protect the Saint!"
The Sky Knight roared and turned his horse's head toward the convoy. Halfway through the run, the fast rock had fallen and smashed into the barracks. The whole earth was trembling and rolling towards the side of the pass. It was the place where the soldiers lined up in a dense line, and there were screams and countless casualties.
The boulder rolled to the narrowest prescription of the pass before stopping, blocking tightly, leaving behind a corpse pressed into minced meat.
"Protect the Saint!"
Thomas also drew his long sword and rode his horse to the carriage where the saint was riding. Unfortunately, most of the soldiers in the military camp were crushed to death by the huge rock, and the rest were blocked on the other side of the huge rock. There were less than a hundred soldiers responding.
“Ah…ah…ah!”
There were screams on the other side of the boulder, and even corpses were thrown from the other end, as if ferocious beasts were biting and slaughtering.
Seeing this, a lord knight immediately jumped and inserted a sword into the huge rock. A fighting spirit appeared on the surface of his body. A jumped over the huge rock and fell behind.
But in just three breaths, amid a scream, a corpse that had been penetrated with armor flew over and landed heavily on the ground.
The sound of metal hitting the ground made everyone frightened.
But in a moment, the screams behind the boulder had stopped, and only the gurgling blood flowed through the cracks of the rocks.
"Protect the Saint, go quickly!"
Thomas shouted at the Sky Knight, signaling them to leave first and lead the army to cut off the rear. A guy who can tear the Lord's Knight in an instant has probably reached the eighth or even the ninth grade of the earth level, and it is definitely not something that his own people can deal with.
"Blessing with light! You protect the saint first."
After the Sky Knight gave an order to a Lord Knight, he turned his horse's head and faced the boulder with Thomas.
He is the sacred Holy See's Heavenly Knight. He can be defeated or killed in battle, but he must not escape easily. For the knight, it is better to die than to break the enemy without fighting on his back.
The Lord Knight received the order and said nothing, he escorted the carriage to set off. But after walking for more than ten meters, he heard a long roar. He saw a tall figure jumping onto a huge rock, jumping over, and falling towards the carriage.
"not good!"
The Sky Knight exclaimed, and before he could make any moves, he saw the figure hitting the escort Lord Knight like a meteor.
"Bang!"
With a loud noise, the war horse was killed immediately. The Lord Knight landed on the ground. Before he could come back to his senses, he saw the figure like a giant ape, grabbing and pulling his legs and tearing them into two halves.
He was so fierce that everyone took a breath of air. With such strength, he was definitely one of the best masters in the world.
The man was tall, two meters tall, extremely strong, with a slightly dark skin, like a black tower. He had a hooked nose, a big beard, and a messy curly hair. He was not the Saxons or Germans of the Empire.
"Queen, princess, etc. I have slept with more women in my life, and I will only miss the Holy See. The woman of the pseudo-gods, I want to try it out."
With a burst of crazy laughter, the man took action and rushed towards the guards around the carriage. This man was extremely powerful, and he was not at the level of the earth, and was beyond the reach of ordinary human power. How could those ordinary guards block them? But in the blink of an eye, no one left was left.
By the time he landed in front of the carriage, the Sky Knight had already rode his horse and killed him.
"Blessing of light!"
That sword condensed the power of light and turned into a snow-white sword light, which was extremely powerful. Those who could become a heavenly knight were at least sixth grade in the Earth level, and could be called the enemy of thousands of people.
Unfortunately, he was facing a fierce man of the ninth grade of the earth level, who was a fierce enemy of thousands of people. He actually reached out with one hand and took the terrifying sword directly with his flesh palm.
The impact of power caused a strong wind to blow, sweeping away the messy curly hair in front of the man.
After seeing the person who came clearly, the Sky Knight suddenly burst into tears and exclaimed: "Are you Assad?"
"It's me!"
The big man let out a long roar, spit out a force in his hand, grabbed the Sky Knight and his sword from the horse, and then smashed it hard on the ground.
"Boom!"
With a loud noise, a big pit appeared on the ground. The Sky Knight was lying in the pit, his upper body was covered in blood and blood. He had only intake and not vented.
The carriage was swept by the air waves and split into pieces. A graceful figure in white clothes was washed away directly with the fragments of the carriage, and fell on the haystack not far away.
