As the 'Iron Arm' William fell off his horse, everyone couldn't help but burst into an exclamation, instantly lost their minds, and the counterattack in their hands stopped.

But the Norman knights were stunned, the church knights who had already rushed into the Norman knights' ranks would not, not only the cavalry company led by the previous general, but also more and more church knights swarming out of the gap in the Norman knights' formation.

"Quick! Rescue the Duke. "Drogo reacted quickly, and he tried to direct the Norman knights to fight back, and William 'Iron Arm', who had been knocked off his horse, came down.

However, he reacted too late, and countless church knights quickly split the Norman knights' formation in half, and their connection with William, Duke of Apulia, had been severed, and the rear was full of church cavalry.

"William of the Duke of Apulia was killed by me Randolph, Baron of Benevento. Advance. Capua's captured, and the Norman knights are not quick to surrender and avoid death! "It's called Randolph. Advance. Baron Benevento of Capua was the young man who stormed the Norman knights' array and knocked out William 'Iron Arm'.

This man was the former Duke of Benevento, Pandorf III. Advance. The son of Capua, Benevento's rightful heir, was all destroyed by the Norman invasion, and with the help of the Holy See, he retained his only domain, the Barony of Benevento.

With hatred for the Normans, he was the first to join the Holy See when it was about to use force against the Normans, and by virtue of his aristocratic status and illustrious family background, coupled with his courage and skill, he soon became one of the leaders of the knights of the Church, commanding hundreds of elite knights.

At this time, he was holding the Duke of Apulia on his saddle with his left hand, waving the banner of the Otteville family with his right hand, and shouting at the Norman knights around him.

Hearing the news of their duke's capture, most of the Norman knights had lost the will to fight and began to flee the battlefield on horseback.

Feudal armies are like this, the key to victory or defeat is their monarch, if their monarch is lost to the enemy or killed, even if they have a great advantage, the army will collapse, because their monarch is no longer there, and they have no reason to continue fighting.

"Humphrey, we still have hope, big brother will come back, and come with me to organize another battle of knights." Dragged away by the Norman knights, Drogo still did not give up hope, and he spoke to his brother Humphrey, who was beside him.

"It's too late, we've failed, and now it's imperative that we get out of here safely." Humphrey ignored Drogo's persuasion and took him away with a hard look.

Randolph. Advance. When Baron Capua saw that the Norman knights were retreating in disarray, he ordered his knights to mount their horses and pursue them, while he himself returned to his camp with his guards and his captive, the noble Duke.

"Cardinal Schwyzwof, I have captured William of the House of Outville, Duke of Apulia, and I am here to restore my life.

It is a pity that Drogo and Humphrey of House Outville escaped under the escort of the Normans, and I did not capture them. "Randolph. Advance. Dandy, Baron of Capua, knelt down on one knee, put his right hand on his chest, bowed his head and said respectfully.

In front of Randolph, a middle-aged priest wearing a bishop's robe turned over and dismounted, helped Randolph to his feet, nodded with a smile on his face, and said, "Baron Randolph, please get up quickly, I can't afford such a big gift." This time, you single-handedly captured William of the House of Outville, Duke of Apulia, among the Normans, which is a great achievement, and you will definitely become the Count of the Holy See in the future.

As for the two who escaped, you don't have to worry about it, maybe when they return to the Duchy of Apulia, they will compete with Caesar for power, and in the day and then we will win without a fight. ”

"Your good wishes, Cardinal Schwyzwüf." Baron Randolph stood up and said with a smile.

Cardinal Schwyzwüf, Cardinal Narni of the Countdom of the Holy See in the state of Orvieto, is only 34 years old, the prime of his life.

Cardinal Schwyzwlf, known as the 'Bishop of War', is not only the military governor of the Holy See, in charge of the military power of the Holy See, but also the commander of the Papal Guard.

The vigorous posture and strong physique he displayed when he turned on his horse, and the silver light of the plate armor of his whole body under the clergyman's robes, all showed that he was not only a cardinal, but also a true knight.

This battle to defeat the Norman knights was personally commanded by Cardinal Schwyzwlf, whether it is marching formation, strategy, or adaptability, he can be called a strategic genius, in the whole of Italy, there are few generals who can compare with him, perhaps Caesar of the House of Ottville can be counted as one.

"Baron Randolph, let me meet our old adversary, William, Duke of Apulia." Cardinal Schwyzwüf stretched out his right hand and spoke.

"Yes, Cardinal, I will bring you William, Duke of Apulia." Baron Randolph bowed in response.

"No, William is also the Duke of Apulia, a prince and monarch, we have to give him enough respect, so that I can go with you to meet him." Cardinal Schwyzwuf waved his hand and shook his head.

"Or you thought it through, but I was negligent." Baron Landorff smirked.

Under the guidance of Baron Randolph, Cardinal Schwyzwüf met with William, Duke of Apulia, who was not in a very good condition at this time, and during the battle, Randolph's flail hit the Duke of Apulia's chest, and the huge damage of the blunt object directly shattered the organs protected by the breastplate, and the Duke of Aprilia, who was lying in the tent, coughed up blood from time to time.

"Baron Landorff, go and get the best doctor to treat Duke Apulia, you must not let him die at this time." Cardinal Schwyzwüf stood up with a sigh of his hand, and with a wave of his hand, he commanded Baron Landorff.

"Yes, Cardinal, I was negligent, and I will do it." Baron Randolph also realized the seriousness of the matter, if the Duke of Apulia died at the hands of the Holy See after being captured, then the Holy See would be stigmatized and would never die with the Normans, which was not what they wanted to see.

Cardinal Schwyzwüfw sat beside the Duke of Apulia, gently reassuring the badly wounded William and trying to calm him down. So he stayed there until late evening, when Landorff found an experienced doctor from among the military doctors to treat William, Duke of Apulia.
