Chapter 635: The Duke is here
Duke Habs's actions were indeed very unusual, or rather, a series of unusual things happened around Duke Habs.
Just as the first rays of sunlight had just fallen on the ground in the morning, and Leo was still in bed engaged in a gut-wrenching battle with the little woman who had tasted his first pleasure, a group of knights had slowly arrived in front of the east gate of the Holy See.
The group of knights, numbering a full hundred, marched in two columns on the avenue in an orderly manner, all of them tall and tall, all wearing sets of well-made red armor, anyone with the slightest knowledge could tell at a glance that this was a group of royal knights from the Spanny Empire.
At the front of the knights' procession is a large flag held high, the blood-colored pattern fluttering on the flag makes people can see at a glance that this is a flag of the Sbanny Empire, and behind the flag of the Sbanney Empire there is also a flag that also hunts and flutters in the morning breeze, and on this flag is painted a blood-colored wolf pattern with a long roar in the sky.
Although it was just dawn at the moment, there were already some pedestrians on the road outside the east gate of the Holy See, and people looked at this group of royal knights in amazement, and couldn't help but talk about it, curious about the origin of this group of royal knights, and from time to time they turned their eyes to the center of the knight queue, wondering what kind of big man was sitting in the carriage that was protected by these knights in the middle.
A moment later, the group of royal knights came to the east gate under the gaze of everyone, but unexpectedly, the Holy See defenders at the east gate stopped them.
"What do you guys do?"
A royal knight rode out of the ranks and shouted to the defenders of the Holy See defending the city: "Duke Habs, on the orders of the great Empress Teresa I of the Spany, has come to the Holy See to express his condolences to the late Pope Enhill!" ”
"Royal Knight? The Empire is coming? The Holy See defenders defending the city looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't know whether to put this group of Royal Knights of the Spanny Empire in it, and finally they all focused on the supreme commander of the church at the city gate at this moment, a squad leader of the Knights of the Wings of Light.
A drop of cold sweat dripped from the squad leader's forehead, and he secretly complained in his heart.
After the assassination of General Biedrins, Captain Forster, who acted as the head of the regiment, issued a very stern order - anyone who allowed a suspicious target to infiltrate the city of the Holy See should be killed!
The word "suspicious" is actually relatively broad and very subjective, after all, if you say that you are ugly is suspicious, and if you are beautiful and handsome, it is not suspicious, then it is too discriminatory against those papal compatriots who are not good enough, so although this regulation seems to be strict and murderous, in fact, since the implementation of the law, I have really not heard anyone say that any city guards have been punished for this.
But the situation is different.
These city guards have been in the army for several years, and they still have some eye for equipment identification. Just to say that the armor of these royal knights is so fine that it is impossible to fake it at a glance.
In addition, these royal knights are all tall and mighty, with this set of armor, it is really human with clothes, it looks like a majestic god descending to earth, it is simply handsome to the scum, I don't believe you look at the reaction of the nuns of the Holy See around you, Ha Lazi is going to flow to the ground, the eyes are so hungry that they look like a resentful woman who has not touched a woman in thirty years, and they are eager to pounce on others immediately, and it looks like they are willing to pay even if they are upside down!
Look at these horses again, all of them are shiny coats, strong limbs, and bright eyes, at first glance, they are the kind of good horses that are hard to buy, and what is even more rare is that the color of these horses is all jujube red horses, and the color of the armor of the royal knights on their bodies is surprisingly unified.
A hundred pairs of incomparably fine knights' armor, a hundred tall and mighty young handsome men, and a hundred Iberian red horses with pure fur, this kind of formation is not a royal knight, how can there be others?
But what made the captain of the gatekeeper secretly complain was that it was precisely because these guys were royal knights that it was even more difficult for him to let them into the city.
You must know that since the accession of Enshir XVI to the throne, let alone the people of the Spany Empire and the Church of Light, what country on the continent does not know that the empire and the church are actually strangers, and they are almost able to turn against each other?
Although it is said that the emperor of Enshir XVI, who hated the Church very much, has died at this moment, the new empress is the daughter of Enghil XVI! Who knows if this Teresa I has inherited the tradition of hatred of the Church from her dead ghost father? If this Duke sent by Empress Teresa is put into the city, if something goes wrong, will this squad leader's head still be wanted?
But if you don't let it go, on the other side is an envoy sent by Empress Teresa, the number one power in the mainland! If it really angers the Spany Empire, how many heads will this squad leader have enough to cut off?
Just when the squad leader was in a dilemma, the royal knights in front of him suddenly moved to the left and right, and a luxurious carriage with the blood-colored wolf insignia engraved on it drove in front of the squad leader and stopped steadily.
A middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in imperial aristocratic costumes, appeared from the carriage.
The middle-aged man smiled at the squad leader: "You are the supreme commander here?" Then you should have just heard who I was, right? ”
The team leader glanced at the middle-aged man, even if he was a dull person, he could guess the identity of the other party at this moment.
The squad leader said very respectfully: "You should be Lord Habs." ”
"That's right." Duke Habs smiled and said, "I have come on the orders of Her Majesty the Empress, please let us into the city." ”
The team leader hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and said: "Please also ask the Duke for forgiveness, at this moment the city is a special situation, and armed personnel are not allowed to enter the city without reporting." ”
"Armed men?" Duke Habs looked back at the royal knights behind him and couldn't help laughing: "They are not armed men, they are just my guards." But I understand your concerns, so be it, I know your gods and the Lord of the Inquisition, and if you let me in, they will keep you safe. ”
At this moment, a hurried sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded, and then a cold voice answered the words of Duke Habs.
"If he just puts you in like that, even if His Majesty the Pope comes to protect him, he will definitely die an ugly death."
Duke Habs was slightly stunned, subconsciously raised his head, and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
A dusty, officer-looking young man with dozens of Lightwing Knights had just arrived, staring coldly at Duke Habs and the Royal Knights behind him, a look that was not friendly between friends, but more like a jungle hunter's assessment of the combat power of his prey before launching a surprise attack.
