The Knight King -

This is a taboo for the Holy See. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info when they were still allies with New Rome, they felt the power of the so-called Knight King, and because of this, the Holy See established the Knights of the Apocalypse and the Swiss Guard, these elite mecha knights, in order to be able to compete with the Knight King of the New Roman Empire.

But the reality is that they have never overcome that existence. Fourteen years earlier, in Adrianople, the place where the Roman Emperor Valens had fallen into the sand, the Crusaders thought they could completely wipe out the defenses of Constantinople with an army three times that of Herod.

But they suffered a nightmarish fiasco.

"It's been fourteen years, and at that time I was not old enough to get to the point where I am now, and I have witnessed that scene. I think there are many of you who have younger generations in their families who died on the battlefield! The speaker said faintly, and all the cardinals in the council hall were silent for a while, as the old man said, that war, no, should be said to be a one-sided killing, is an eternal nightmare for the Holy See. Not only the younger generations of the nobility in Rome, but even the cardinals present had experienced that fear firsthand.

At that time, the Crusaders' own goal was actually to attack the Crescent Empire in Africa, so according to the Holy See of the Council of Nicaea and the New Roman Empire, the Crusaders entered the Balkans, so they were able to take advantage of the opportunity to launch a surprise attack. The unprepared army of New Rome thought that only a portion of the military expenses would be enough, so the garrison was caught off guard and directly damaged, and the long-driving Rastines surrounded the important town of Adrianople in one fell swoop. They thought they could easily destroy the last stubborn resistance of the Herodians, but they never expected to encounter the sharpest sword of the new Roman Empire.

"Yes, Your Excellency, I was the commander of a division in the coalition forces in the first place." A cardinal's bishop spoke, and inadvertently, his shoulders trembled slightly. Obviously, that battle left a huge shadow on the man's heart.

"I'll never forget!"

At that time, Adrianople had less than a thousand men, and the Crusaders thought that they could easily capture it, but they did not know that the most powerful mecha legion in the empire [the First Knights] was stationed there.

As if feeling the oppression of the atmosphere, another archbishop also broke the silence, "I have always had a question about why we didn't kill Constantinople when we stormed him......"

Although the Knight King's strength is not seen with his own eyes, as a pivotal opportunity, it is an extremely dangerous existence to evaluate, but it is also one of the only targets that has not been eliminated.

It is clear that Constantinople fell, but there is no direct evidence that it appeared in that battle, which has to be confusing.

"The reason is simple, we didn't meet him on that day, which may be a blessing, but it can also be a great regret." Sighing slightly, the Crusaders were ready to fight to the death with the Herod under the city of Constantinople, but due to various accidents, they broke through the impregnable defenses of the walls of Theodosius.

"And now he's there again—" The previous archbishop said with fear in his eyes, and couldn't help but tremble, as a veteran of the Battle of Adriatic, he still remembered the scene when the terrifying Knight King piloted the mecha to harvest his life. Not so long ago, they learned of the appearance of the Knight King in Anatolia.

Although the news had been delayed for almost a month due to the war, it was enough to shock the people of the Holy See.

The dangerous enemy now appeared in that sensitive place and had to make the cardinals nervous. It was a dangerous enemy, and more importantly, they had almost forgotten about the knight king.

They hadn't heard that name for ten years, and the monster that had made the West shudder had reappeared after the fall of Constantinople.

"Yes, but in fact, there are all kinds of signs that the Knight King appeared four years ago." The old man's gaze scanned the crowd and spoke.

"Is it Constantinople?" Four years earlier, the Crusaders had been attacked in the kingdom of Neubullard, and information had led to the Herodians' reconquest, and the knights of the Holy See had encountered a formidable enemy. Thinking about it now, maybe the knight king had already made a move at that time.

However, the speaker shook his head and said, "Not only Constantinople, but also Warsaw in Poland and Novgorod in Rus', we have all found signs of the appearance of the Knight King. ”

"Poland, Rus?" Someone in the cardinal's room exclaimed slightly, it was the weakest place under the control of the Holy Church, because it was too far away, and what was the Knight King there for?

Seeing the confusion of the other bishops, the speaker whispered to the man on the high platform who had been silent and looked at the classic: "Your Holy Majesty, what do you think about this?" ”

Everyone's eyes were focused on the past for a while. It was then that one remembered that the Pope, who was in high place, had never said a word, and that he had just sat there, wearing glasses, and was just looking at the parchment in his hand without saying a word, the precious ancient books of the Holy See, and the light flickering on his lenses. And at this time, the man finally spoke.

"What's the matter? Your Excellency the Speaker? ”

"Just wanted to refer to your advice, Your Majesty." Although he is the speaker, Pope Ingwe is still the supreme leader in name, so the old man also gives enough respect, but Ingway understands that the other party's words are hidden temptations.

For now, there are many things that are still uncertain, such as sending Elennor to the far north and east, Ingway is certainly a good mastermind, but in the face of the Speaker of the Cardinal Opportunity, he also has to show a poker face to disguise himself.

"Obviously, there is no need for this, and the cardinal people have already made plans, haven't they? Besides, just one Knight King is not enough to make us change our plans. Pope Ingwe replied coldly as he looked at the old man below with a cold gaze.

And the old man was equally unimpressed, and just said lightly: "It's true, but at least one thing is certain, that is, the Knight King has been accumulating power in places we can't see. And that's what we should be wary of. And more importantly, our enemies are often not on the outside, but may be from within. ”

For a moment, the temperature in the old man's mouth suddenly dropped to freezing, and the air seemed to freeze.

And his eyes were on the Pope, who was high above.
