Countless waves crashed onto the beach and turned into white foam.

It feels very comfortable to walk on the beach with bare feet. The sun has just risen, the weather is not too hot, and the sea water is slightly cool.

As people walked in front, a series of footprints slipped down on the wet sea behind them.

However, after being hit by big waves a few times, the footprints will become blurry, and eventually they will be smoothed away, leaving no trace.

Sometimes, this is like life.

After walking for a while, many footprints were left behind.

But as the river of time washes away, this series of footprints will become blurred, and will eventually be ruthlessly erased by the river of time.

No matter what, people will die.

Your son will remember you, your grandson will remember you, but your grandson's grandson may not remember you.

Eventually, you will be completely forgotten by people, and by that time you will be truly dead.

However, Li Xiao is confident that in this world, there is a high probability that he will not be forgotten.

After all, he has done something that no one before him has ever done.

Even if the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty were resurrected, they would still feel ashamed when faced with their own illustrious martial arts achievements.

Li Xiao walked a long way on the beach, watching the seagulls constantly chirping, and the thoughts in his mind flew to the sky.

It wasn't until his legs felt very tired that Li Xiao realized that he had walked a long way. The sun had already risen very high, and the red sun hung high in the sky.

Sweat was already oozing out from his forehead.

Behind him, Shunzi followed with two guards.

Along the road along the seaside, two trucks of soldiers, armed with live ammunition, monitored everything around them.

A little further away, three Tigers, an infantry tank, were stalking.

Unfortunately, the roaring engine of the infantry fighting vehicle made it impossible for them to hide their figures.

Li Xiao didn't speak, others didn't speak, and everyone didn't speak.

Everyone knows that the Marshal cannot be disturbed when he is thinking about something.

He waved to Shunzi and pointed to the jeep on the road.

Shunzi waved and the jeep drove over immediately.

Li Xiao took a few people into the jeep!

"Commander, Nian Gengyao and the others came back last night." Shunzi saw that Li Xiao was not in good spirits and wanted to say something happy to make Li Xiao happy.

"oh!

Nian Gengyao is back? Is he the only one?"

Sure enough, Shunzi's words aroused Li Xiao's interest.

"Nothing can be hidden from the commander-in-chief. Their operation was very smooth and they brought the Pope back.

He is now locked up in the headquarters and awaiting your fate at any time."

"Ha~!

This Nian Gengyao is quite capable. It seems that letting him deal with the guerrillas is indeed overqualified.

He should be sent to capture Napoleon!" When he heard that the Pope had been captured, Li Xiao's mood immediately improved.

The Pope in the Vatican is an extremely special being in Europe.

First of all, this guy is the spiritual leader of European Christians. It is said that a few hundred years ago, the Pope's power in Europe was unparalleled.

Even the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire had to kneel in front of the pope for seven days and nights to beg for forgiveness if he offended the pope.

In the battle between divine authority and monarchy, divine authority achieved a brilliant victory.

Although since the Renaissance, monarchy has gradually taken over political power from theocracy.

But the Vatican still has special influence in Europe!

This kind of influence can sometimes be very fatal.

Just like this war against Russia and the Ming Dynasty, the first promoter was the Pope.

In the name of eliminating heretics, he called on Europe to form a new crusade. Even at the beginning of the war, he used a lot of church assets to fund the coalition forces.

Well, now that the Pope has been captured by him, he wants to see what this prisoner looks like.

What kind of magical power does he have that makes thousands of Europeans crawl at his feet?

What kind of person is the Pope, a position that has stood on the stage of European history for thousands of years?

"Let's go to the headquarters and have a look. Let them find a gossip!" Li Xiao looked very interested.

Since the Pope asked someone to bring a message to Li Xiu, he wanted to negotiate.

However, Li Xiao did not want to talk to him face to face as an equal. The Pope could only talk to Li Xiao as a prisoner of the Ming Dynasty.

Even if he is released in the future, it will still be the grace of the Ming Dynasty Marshal.

The jeep drove all the way into the headquarters compound. Everyone stopped and saluted when they saw the commander's mighty team.

Li Xiao casually returned the gift and followed the hurried Commander of Crete into the conference room.

"Find a room, I want to meet the Pope." When he saw Nian Gengyao, Li Xiao said anxiously before Nian Gengyao saluted.

"Commander, there is a conference room here."

The commander of the Cretan garrison quickly stood next to Li Xiao and said.

"The conference room... is too big.

Just use your office, it has a nice view."

"No!" Sweat broke out on the garrison commander's forehead. The marshal said that his office has a nice view. What does this mean?

The garrison commander's office is actually not small, but fortunately there is a row of crocodile leather sofas placed there, which can be used as a small meeting place.

Outside the window is the endless sea, with seagulls constantly soaring by the seaside.

As far as the eye can see, there are warships as tall as mountains swimming on the sea, and there is even a ship moored in the port.

On the beach, groups of soldiers are training.

Further away, there was even more intensive gunfire. That place was a shooting range.

Very good, you can not only enjoy the scenery, but also see the great strength of Ming Dynasty.

Li Xiao was so satisfied with this place that he even wanted to use it as his office.

However, he can't do things like fighting for an office with his subordinates.

Now, even if he reveals even a little bit, the strong garrison commander will clean the office and seal it up permanently, so that it can only be opened and used when Li Xiao comes to Crete again.

Li Xiao stood in front of the window and lit a cigar. After a few puffs, he heard the sound of "clatter" and "crash" coming from the door.

No matter how many times he imagined meeting the Pope, Li Xiao never imagined that the two would meet under such circumstances.

The pope's pale blond hair was as messy as weeds, his face was bruised and bruised, and there were some blood stains on the corners of his mouth.

The robe on his body was dirty and torn. Only the slightly clean areas could tell that it was originally made of luxurious material.

The Pope's hands and feet were all shackled with chains, making a "clatter" and "clatter" sound when he walked.

The whole person looked extremely embarrassed.

However, his eyes are extremely piercing, and he looks at people like they have hooks on them, and he can see into people's hearts.

Li Xiao curled his lips helplessly, it would be better to kill him with his energy.

Don't worry about this guy, he always thinks that there are five of us and six of us.

Bringing the pope in front of Li Xiao, Nian Gengyao stood at attention and saluted: "Commander, I have captured our captives and brought the pope to the Vatican for instructions from the commander."

Li Xiao returned the gift, then looked at the Pope carefully and found that the old man was also looking at him.

"Let him go first. With your protection, why are you afraid of what an old guy will do to me?
