Chapter 280: Alexander

"Your Holiness, I wonder if you've seen this......"

Qin Zhongyu took out the envelope he had received earlier and showed it in front of the Pope.

"Oh...... This one...... Did you receive it too...... It's exactly the same envelope......" said the Pope.

"Is it really the same people?"

Qin Zhongyu remembered the mana fluctuations that Mo Xi had detected before. I was even more sure that there should be some kind of connection between this recent anomaly and this disaster.

"Probably...... We also received the same envelope before this disaster...... The envelope looks the same......"

"Tell me, then, who did this?"

Silent, the aged pope seemed to be thinking about something.

"What's wrong?, what's inconvenient?" Qin Zhongyu said again.

"No, it's not inconvenient, and there's nothing to hide now......" The Pope said, looking at the cardinal beside him, said, "It's all old...... I didn't expect it to be mentioned after so many years......"

"Oh, a long time ago?"

"yes...... Young man, have you ever heard of the Kingdom of Macedon?" asked the Pope rhetorically.

"Of course I did...... Alexander the Great of Macedon, isn't he famous?" Qin Zhongyu, who is interested in history, certainly knows about this legendary empire.

"Yes, very famous...... Even you Orientals know ......"

"Do you mean ......?"

"That's right, the Macedonian army once swept across the continent, especially their Macedonian phalanx, which conquered a large area from Europe to Asia, and I would say that that night, we saw the same kind of enemy, in a neat formation, armed with spears more than six meters long, supplemented by elite cavalry and spearmen, combined like an unstoppable chariot, and pacified our city...... In contrast, we papal knights who are too prepared to fight are a little vulnerable......"

As soon as the Pope said this, the cardinal on the side seemed a little unhappy, and suddenly said: "Our knights are the bravest warriors, and the twelve archbishops who can be called saints have also died on the battlefield...... The reason why they lost was only because they were negligent in taking precautions......"

"Ah, you're right......," echoed the Pope, "and we're not fully prepared for it......

"This ...... Could it be that the Macedonian kingdom, which has long disappeared in the long river of history, has actually been resurrected again?" Qin Zhongyu asked in surprise.

"No, it's not the kingdom of Macedonia that has been resurrected, it's their army that has been resurrected......"

"The whole army has been resurrected......? How is this possible!"

"When I first found out about the mutation, I was incredible...... Don't say it's you, so far, most of the people in our sect still can't believe this fact, but this is really happening......" When he spoke, the Pope's tone was very helpless.

At first, Qin Zhongyu couldn't believe it, but suddenly remembered that the historical Macedonian Kingdom originated in the northern region of the Balkan Peninsula. Recall that Mo Xi once said that the Mo family's satellites once monitored an unusually large-scale mana fluctuation from the Balkan Peninsula in Europe, which happened to be the birthplace of the former Macedonian Kingdom - the northern region of the Balkan Peninsula!

The two clues were linked, and Qin Zhongyu felt that the information provided by this pope was a little more credible.

In addition, the Kingdom of Macedonia was divided into three states after Alexander's death, and the three countries that inherited the Macedonian mantle were eventually destroyed by the later Roman Empire, so that there is indeed a historical hatred between Macedonia and the Vatican in the city of Rome.

"If it was really the resurrection of the Macedonian legion...... Then it's not surprising that the city of Rome was attacked first......"

So Qin Zhongyu asked again: "Is this really the case...... So, how many people are there?"

"How many people are there...... Based on the reports from the knights I first came into contact with, I think there were about 100,000 people......

"100,000 ......"

Qin Zhongyu remembered that in order to resurrect himself after more than 2,000 years, Ying Zheng specially built the world's largest catacomb. It took more than 2,000 years to gather the essence of heaven and earth before it finally succeeded.

However, the former nine-tailed demon fox Su Da had used the killing stone made of his own blood to resurrect the ancient soldiers, but the number was only at the level of a thousand people at most. And it's not a real resurrection, it's just a rebirth in this world as a ghost.

But this time it was a 100,000-level legion, and this difference in numbers was obviously not at the same level.

"Could it be that the nine-tailed demon fox is the ghost again? I can't stay in Huaxia anymore, so I ran to Europe?" Qin Zhongyu thought about it at first, but quickly denied his thoughts in his heart, "No, it's unlikely...... If she could resurrect 100,000 people with her strength, then she would have used it a long time ago......"

After thinking about it, Qin Zhongyu still felt that this time it shouldn't be Su Daji's ghost.

"But if it's not Su Daji, then who is it?"

Qin Zhongyu still didn't have any clue in his heart.

"Your Holiness the Pope, then...... There's one more thing I'd like to ask...... That is, do you have a way to reach them now?"

"Contact them, do you mean you want to contact the Macedonian madmen?" Before the Pope could speak, the cardinal next to him grabbed the conversation again, "They are nothing more than a bunch of undead resurrected by evil forces, what is there to contact?"

"Uh......"

Qin Zhongyu felt that this cardinal was very unpleasant.

But the Pope smiled and said, "We can't get in touch with them...... But they left a letter......"

"A letter?"

"Yes, the man named Alexander left behind...... He said that if there were any guests from China who wanted to know Alexander's whereabouts, then give them the letter......"

"Is it really Alexander the Great?" Qin Zhongyu shouted with some excitement.

"Ah, yes, the man who is called the greatest military commander in Europe...... It's the first time I've seen it in person, but that temperament can't be concealed in any way......" replied the Pope with emotion.

"Even if you have a 100,000 Macedonian army, you have to add what is known as the greatest military commander in European history, so how could such an army write to us again?" Qin Zhongyu couldn't calm down for a long time with such a question.
