Chapter 346: Choice
Slaughter, [Nidhogg] is like an autumn wind sweeping through a wheat field, and as far as the eye can see, everything that stands in front of this dragon is destroyed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Lithuanians are so desperate, and the battle-hardened warriors are so humble, this is the gap between them and the knight king, and this is simply an insurmountable chasm. No, to be precise, it should be a moat, an unattainable moat.
Now, I think of how ridiculous it was to think that the Knight King could be easily destroyed!
Blood spilled from Jagieil's fingers, and he felt like his world was crumbling. The lives of those men who fought with him were even more fragile than flowers. An indescribable pathos almost drowned Jagieworth, and he could barely breathe. The flames of anger burned in his heart, but he could not do anything about it. This is a real irony, it is true that these people are pawns in the hands of Jagieil, willing to charge for him. However, what he couldn't tolerate was that they ended up dying in vain. Is the Knight King really invincible?
At this moment, no one can stop the footsteps of [Nidhogg], and the original miserable ancient mecha has long been restored. The Lithuanian knights who died in battle were the best food for this "monster".
"......" looked at the ancient mecha that was coming towards them, no one was born, and no one fled, because the Lithuanians did not even have the courage to wail, did not have the courage to run away.
They are willing to think that today is the end of the knight king, but the reality is that they are the ones who lose decently.
"Is this what you want?" Suddenly, Jagieworth finally broke through the shackles of fear and roared in the sky.
"Stupid!"
In his opinion, the princes' method of sitting back and watching success or failure fall into the well is simply clumsy!
However, in the direction of his roar, those people were indifferent. It was the sudden bombardment of monster cannons that finally caused Jagievo to lose everything. Now, it's completely impossible to even get out of the way.
……
"Lithuanians are still as naïve as they used to be!"
"It's just a bunch of infidel barbarians after all!"
An indifferent mockery resounded in the room, and the sneering nobles sat leisurely in their chairs, as if everything was under control. In fact, the information on the battlefield not far away is updated anytime and anywhere, and they are clearly aware of everything that happens on the battlefield, but they seem to be indifferent. When they heard the news of the total annihilation of the Lithuanian knights, they not only did not panic, but gloated.
"This time, with the help of the Novgorodians, all the forces of the Holy See in Poland have been eliminated, and the Lithuanian army can be eradicated, which can really be described as killing two birds with one stone!" Someone chuckled and picked up the teacup on the table.
Lithuanian power has always been unsettling, especially the Jagiełočičes, whose enthusiasm for all-out pursuit has long been disgusting to many, and even if the two have a common enemy, it is impossible to really be in the same boat.
After all, it's just a different dream in the same bed.
This was a plan that had been laid out for a long time, and everything was gradually taking shape from the time of Consitine's incredible burst of power, and of course everything was still changing, such as Stein's careful choice to ask for support from the Holy See. But the Knight King did not disappoint, and he succeeded in destroying all the intertwined forces. And all this is unknown to the Holy See, and the big men of the Holy Church, who are busy with the war in the East, are destined to be impossible to scatter their energies here. In the era of lions, the humble jackals can only survive by any means in the cracks, and when everything declines, it is the era of their rise. This is exactly what the Holy See did in the first place. And the princes are not really unambitious, they are all people who have survived the battle of the wolves, not favored by God, but because they have seen too many ups and downs, they are more ambitious than the bishops of the cardinal.
Now, East and West, the Cross and the Crescent Moon are colliding with fate, and they can only seize the moment to meet their best times. Otherwise, there would be no place for them in heaven or under heaven.
"It's time to start, isn't it? Marshal Mauser. At that moment, the nobles turned their gaze to the old man once again. It was he who led the project. It's fair to say that at first everyone thought it was crazy gambling, but now people are cheering about it. It can be said that this is their perfect stealing, stealing what belongs to the Holy See to strengthen themselves.
……
The only thing missing now is a perfect finish.
And now it was all on the orders of Marshal Mauser, who was the head of the princes, their leader, and even if he did not bring that crown, it was completely unnecessary. He is a real hero, and the heroes never need to be recognized by others, what they always need is to break the old order. And that's what they want, it's time, after all, no one wants to be so mediocre.
Slowly, the old man turned around and looked at the people in front of him. They were all people of the same era, and they had all experienced the collapse of the old order of the kingdom and the establishment of a new order, and they changed everything with that man. And now that they are finally ready to destroy the order of this world, it is time for the world that the Holy See is trying to control, and it is time to change the master.
Maybe they're crazy like this, but isn't the world driven by crazy geniuses?
"It's time. Gentlemen. The last time I talked to you like this, I remember - I didn't have so many gray hairs on my head, and I wasn't as slumped as I am now. It's so memorable! It's just that some people have left us completely. Marshal Mauser said with a slight sigh.
"Yes! Your Excellency, you can go through so many things and still survive. There are very few, indeed. "There are the same old voices sounding, they are also nobles, although they have not been knighted princes, but their qualifications are much older than those of the marquis of Polka, and it can even be said that they are not the same. They experienced that era of collapse, and they were the comrades-in-arms of Marshal Mauser, and to those princes were just some juniors. It was only for some personal reasons that I chose to retreat into the background.
"Yes, some died in the war with the Rus."
"Some have fallen victim to political struggles."
"Others were purged by the Holy See."
"We're the old guys left. And you are enjoying Qingfu and retreating behind the scenes, and you still want me to worry about this. ”
Marshal Mauser, who sighed, smiled wryly.
"After all, we are old, and you are different, it looks like you are just like us, but in reality you are still the same careerist whose blood is always boiling like you were at the beginning. How similar our great former king is to you! An old man sighed, but it seemed that it touched on some sensitive topic, and the nobles fell into a brief silence.
"yes, I don't deny that." Marshal Mauser shrugged, "His daughter inherited this perfectly, but did it even worse." The old man snapped his fingers, and the guards around him nodded and walked out.
A moment later, several guards approached in wheelchairs, and the haggard woman in the wheelchair was none other than Queen Jadwiga of Poland.
"What do you want to do?" Stubbornness was written on Yadvja's face, and she looked at the nobles and asked, and in the face of her questioning, each nobleman looked calm. For this woman, they actually watched her grow up, maybe fate turned them to the opposite, but Yadwija's ability has never been questioned.
"Your Majesty, we've shown you those things before, and is your father's actions really something you can approve of?" Marshal Mauser asked, looking at Adevicia.
"You are merely serving your ambitions." Jadwiga looked at each other in disgust, and she glanced at everyone here, and they were none other than the Polish nobles, some of whom had arrived here from distant fiefdoms.
Marshal Mauser, however, was not angry, but shook his head slightly and said, "What's wrong with serving ambition?" There are many, many careerists, and in fact, only careerists can make a difference. And ambition is also divided into big and small, small ambitions can only seek small profits, but big ambitions can change the world. Your father was the one who drew the Rus' coalition to the Rus' army, and the old power in Poland was purged and a new life was born. ”
"Again, what we are doing is only what your father did not finish, which is to completely break away from the Holy See."
"Then why let so many people die in vain?" Listening to the earth-shattering explosions outside, the tragedy of the whole Warsaw could be seen, and Yadwigga could not accept this set of excuses from the other party.
"Then why is Your Majesty so attached to power that he breaks with us? The king and the princes are one, and your ambitions are greater than your father's! It's never us who destroys everything, it's you! You were the one who sent the Knight King here, and you are the only one responsible for this disaster. It's time, and I think it's time for Poland to have a new king. Marshal Mauser said with a smile as he looked at each other quietly.
The subtext of this sentence is already very obvious, they are going to welcome an obedient king again.
And Yadwija, who understood this, also turned pale suddenly, she didn't care about her own safety, she was already terminally ill, but what she cared about was her daughter. This may be the only concern on her mind, and will Constance Dante really be able to deliver on his promise?
At this time, she didn't care about any of that anymore. Everyone has the right to choose to live, and Constance Dante has no such obligation.
"If you had known this, you would have decided to give up, my majesty?" Marshal Mauser asked.
The woman in the wheelchair slowly raised her head and stared at the old man, and at that moment, her eyes actually surprised the nobles present.
"I'm just trying to protect my daughter from falling victim to me."
"So everything comes at a price, doesn't it? Let them get started! Marshal Mauser said lightly and gave the order.
……
"It's over! My master, after all, you can only change all this if you accept me, otherwise, you will end up in tragedy! The woman's appearance gradually blurred, but the corners of her mouth still maintained that smile.
"Imagine the tragic end without power! When you were struggling in that city of beasts and cannibals, why did those people choose you to change your fate? That's because they choose to let you hold the hilt of the sword of power. That's why you can stand on the highest peak of that city and eat others instead of being eaten by others! In an instant, in the deep black pool, Constance Dante suddenly stopped struggling, and suddenly, he was a little dazed.
Because it was not Anatania who appeared in front of him, but the boy in white was the boy who appeared many times in his dreams, but Constance Dante still couldn't see his face clearly.
"......," he gasped, but could not say anything.
In the world of cannibalism, you can only survive if you hold power!
Isn't that what "he" told him?
"Have you forgotten me, brother?" A small voice rang in Consit's ears, but his body trembled violently, and he looked up and saw the familiar figure.
"Sophia......" Constantine muttered.
The blonde girl standing in front of him gently stroked the hair from her ears and looked at Constance Dante, "You said you were going to pick me up, but I've been waiting for you, brother!" ”
The familiar voice made Consdante struggle in agony at this time, and his heart was telling himself that it was a fantasy, but he could not deny the guilt in his heart.
"Brother Cons, Dante, you said you wanted to protect me!"
It was his own promise, but Consdante knew that he had not been able to do it at all, and that his ten years in Constantinople had been an escape from beginning to end.
"Hold on to your original strength! Brother, I've been waiting for you to pick me up! As long as you say yes, the whole world will obey. The bewitching voice sounded again. And this time, Constance Dante's eyes were no longer calm at all, and subconsciously, tears rolled down his cheeks.
Constant, trembling all over, Dante's upper and lower jaws trembled, and he wanted to say something, but there was a force in his subconscious that prevented him.
Stop, don't go, or it'll be too late.
The panicked kid was holding him hard behind Cons, not wanting him to go the wrong way.
However, Constance Dante was like a walking corpse at this time, and continued to walk forward without hearing at all......
But just as Constance Dante trembled to say that, the blazing light of the fire suddenly illuminated the whole darkness - (to be continued.) )
