Chapter Twenty-Four: The Kingkiller
Maria, the Grand Master of the Knights of the Purple Rose, unexpectedly took aim at Duke Borot, which made King Richard feel a little surprised, and couldn't help but feel secretly proud, because both of them were his henchmen.
Cardinal Benedict, seeing that the situation was not right, did not have time to consult with Pope Damasus, suddenly jumped out and shouted: "How can this be justified, how can this be justified, those who achieve great things must pay attention to benevolence, righteousness and morality, and keep their promises. Duke Borot has come all the way to join His Majesty the King. This is the best time to show the world these good qualities. How can you abandon your roots and pick sesame seeds and throw watermelons?"
"Oh, Lord Bishop means that Emperor Defiot of the Tambolance Empire is a sesame." Mary Adam immediately asked with a sneer.
"Emperor Del.T.L.O. is certainly not to be underestimated, but he is not at all worthy compared to His Majesty Richard." Benedict bowed slightly in the direction of the Grand Strategist Foss, where the most powerful ministers of the Hope Kingdom gathered. Evaluating a person's strength is not just about the strength of the moment. If there is only one truth in the world, then the strong will always be strong, and the weak will always be weak. This will lose the competition, and everything will become stagnant. It is completely meaningless. Emperor Deliot claims to be in control of the most 'refined' part of the entire Bodi continent. Except for the tundra of the north and the forests of the south, almost all of them were under his leadership, but was that really the case? Why did the Grand Duke of Kentan rise up, and why when the Northern Expedition of the Desserts seized the holy city of Ræma, few princes responded to Delviot's orders."
"Because they are all thieves." Maria interrupted unceremoniously. Is it necessary to get to the bottom of the problem of anti-thieves?"
"Of course I do." Benedict didn't take the Grand Master seriously, he was speaking mainly to the general public and King Richard." The emperor is arbitrary and arrogant.As soon as he takes office, he kills 'chickens' and makes an example of monkeys.He has established his so-called authority.His strategy of settling outside the country is almost equivalent to dictatorship.Several major electors have become completely ornamental.The position of prime minister is also like a false title.His wolf ambition of trying to break through and encroach on each step has long been seen through by the people of the world.Duke Kentan is not so much a rebel.He is the first person who dares to publicly stand up and say no to the emperor's perverse behavior.Bodi Continent does not need a dictator.Duke, The Count does not need to work and the working people do not need ......"
"Long live, long live, long live the Bishop." The crowd of onlookers spontaneously shouted, "There was no special premeditation this time, but they felt in their hearts that they were right."
"If we don't have a strong rule, how can we be able to fight against the Deserts in the north, they have strong ships and guns, and there are even famous black-robed mages who will help us behind. He has made the emperor in a dilemma, and if he wants to support him, he will be taking refuge in the Dessert in disguise.
Maria's words also drew bursts of applause.The people are all grass on the wall.Whoever has a reason will lean toward whom.,Coupled with the pre-lurking agitators, the result is self-evident.
Benedict habitually 'touched' his bare head, and then replied with a smile: "His Majesty the King is here, and you are the Knights of the Purple Rose.What else is there to worry about in this matter.You are right.Duke Kentan's uprising is likely to distract Emperor Demotheon.Then there seems to be such a Duke of Kentan on Hope Island now.Her traces are extremely secretive, so that once the banner of rebellion is raised, then His Majesty's head will fall to the ground without warning......
"Who could it be?" Maria's face was not red or breathless, and a pair of sharp eyes were fixed on the old man.
"I can't say that." Benedict clapped his hands a few times, and then from the audience came a beautiful young man with a handsome demeanor, wrapped in a black cloak, as if he were going to a funeral.
As soon as the man came to the stage, he walked up to Maria, whispered in her ear for a long time, and the audience was buzzing, because the people did not know what was going on.
King Richard and Pope Darmasus sat there as if what was in front of them had nothing to do with them, but Albert was anxious like an ant on a hot pan, constantly preparing for the worst.
I saw that the Grand Master's face was first pale for a while, then a little red, and finally it slowly turned green, and she said several times that she would give up, and finally she had to speak, "If you can guarantee the safety of me and Durenny, I am willing to leave Hope Island now, and return the Knights of the Purple Rose to His Majesty."
When Richard heard this, he suddenly stood up, because this ending was something he had not expected, only Pope Damasus was still calm, and it seemed that there had been communication beforehand.
Richard, accompanied by Frederick, walked up to the beautiful man in the black cloak and asked, "May I ask who your Excellency is?"
Benedict hurriedly introduced: "This is a hermit who has devoted himself to Bojiao for many years.
The doubts in Richard's heart have not been resolved, and the appearance of the black-cloaked boy is definitely not older than himself.How can it be called a devotion to teaching for many years?He did not immediately ask.Instead, he turned to Captain Maria: "What's the matter?Is it because Hope Island is too small.Is it not enough for you to use your strengths?The Knights of the Purple Rose are waiting for your orders."
This pun made everyone present who knew the inside story secretly sweat.
Maria unexpectedly threw herself down in front of Richard and said, "Your Majesty, I can't help you, Bishop Benedict is right, I am Duke Kentan on Hope Island, and I am more ruthless than that duke, he may just want to oust Emperor Dilliot, and I will immediately give you the result."
The crowd around them suddenly booed, the situation was changing so fast that their brains were about to short-circuit, and they could only soothe the rhythm with a long and monotonous series of sighs.
Richard immediately rebuked with a serious expression: "I have always regarded you as the anchor of Hope Island.I will not interfere in almost anything you do.You want military salaries.I will give.You want soldiers.I will also give.Although it is a bit unbelievable to dig trenches outside the city.But I still agree.What is the original intention of the establishment of the Knights.You tell me."
"Your Majesty, I am willing to be punished."
"If you really want to get my head to the ground, now is your chance." Richard drew his saber from his waist and placed it squarely in front of Maria. Grand Master, please."
Dido Square, which had been noisy and talkative just now, suddenly became silent.What is Richard trying to do here?The risk is too great.
Damasus still sat calmly in his seat, Benedict and the black cloaked boy did not mean to dissuade, they seemed to be waiting for Maria's next move, and then improvise.
Chief Staff Officer Foss, who had been 'mingling' in the ranks of the Civilians and kept a low profile, couldn't help it at this time, he suddenly stood up, and while running towards Richard, he shouted loudly, "Don't hesitate, now is the time."
The Grand Master of the Knights of the Purple Rose came to her senses as if she had been empowered, and she skillfully picked up the sword, and attacked the lower plate of Richard, Benedict, and the others by falling to her knees.
The old man and the black cloak retreated smoothly, but Richard didn't know if it was because it was too big or how, and he was swept to the ground with a heavy blow.
"The King-Killer, the Grand Master is the King-Killer, my God."
Maria's lover Du Reni stood up at this time and shouted: "All the officers and soldiers of the Knights obey the order, and extraordinary means must be used in extraordinary times.
Dido Square suddenly became a hell on earth, and the members of the Knights of the Purple Rose had quietly laid an ambush on the periphery.
But strangely, General Frederick, who had always been known for his bravery, did not show his due domineering today, and he held Richard's corpse in pain, which was worse than a.
Maria raised the king's sword and raised her arms and shouted, "Those who follow me will prosper, those who oppose me will die, King Richard has colluded with the rebels in a vain attempt to overthrow the Tambolance Empire, and now I will help Emperor Diviot get rid of these pests."
Albert's Cayenne raised two axes and rushed to Maria, ignoring anyone's obstruction, and said, "'Milk', 'milk', don't be too happy, get past me first."
Benedict suddenly laughed and said, "Grand Master Maria." You're a bit of a guts, but you're in the wrong place, and King Richard is something you could have easily killed."
The beautiful boy in the black cloak brushed the floor to remove the burden behind him, and also triumphantly sarcastic: "Grand Master, who do you think I look like?"
Maria's face turned white again as miserable as before: "Valentine."
"It's down there."
'Want' to know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
