Chapter 338: Heresy (I)
"By the way, how is that thing now? How have they accomplished? Baldwin asked, looking at his palace minister. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Godric was stunned for a moment, but then immediately understood what Baldwin was talking about, the kingdom had done its best to prepare for that thing in the past four years, he immediately nodded and said, "It's 80% complete, it's going well, if you expect it, you can't-"
"Let them speed up immediately!" But before Godric could finish speaking, Baldwin interrupted the other party's report in a deep voice, "At the current pace, it's still too slow, we don't have much time, take me there, that thing must be done quickly." ”
The man's face finally showed a solemn expression. From the very beginning of his ascension to this throne, Baldwin had already decided that he would never want to be a pawn of the Holy See like his brother Count Pierce, and if he could not control his own destiny, the so-called glory money would be as worthless as dung!
But Baldwin also understands that there is a price to be paid for making this wish come true, and that if he does not have enough strength, then his disappearance is just a pathetic puppet.
Even if he climbed the ladder of power step by step, Baldwin did not feel any ease, although he was just a nobleman without a fief, but now his only feeling is that there are fewer people who can control himself, but he still can't get rid of the fate of being manipulated by others.
And the reason for this is that he has no strength, and without great strength he is nothing—he must hold a sword and a shield to survive in this world of fire and sword. This is Baldwin's credo!
……
"Father, it's so uncomfortable! Please hurry up and get it done! There was a heart-rending scream that belonged to a young man.
Here, on the other hand, is an enclosed space that is completely private. Strange were the men wearing masks, their faces draped in large, special glasses, and their breath exhaling visible cyan air through the masks. And all over the body, these staff members are also fully armed, which can be said to be an exaggeration.
In fact, every country has such secret places, and as the capital of the new Roman Empire, Constantinople is not uncommon.
Therefore, in order to prevent detection by the Holy See, it can be said that in the past ten years, the organs of the kingdom have been constantly changing their positions.
"How's the sample going?" A man with a mask walked up to him and asked, they've been doing their best to complete this project for years!
"It's been a lot of instability lately, but it's not far from being done, so we should be able to hold on. But then it's time to change it! ”
"yes, it's a shame to think about it! It's a pity that such a near-perfect sample is about to be scrapped! Looking at the people trapped in the enclosed space, the staff member said with regret.
The companion on the side patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "Forget it, after all, it's been four years, and no matter how good the 'toy' is, it will definitely be broken." I think Your Majesty will have other preparations below. ”
"It's finally 80% complete, and there shouldn't be any problems!"
"I hope so! If you can complete this thing, it can be said that this life is worth it. Think about it, what a masterpiece it is! I saw that these men wearing masks couldn't help but twist their bodies excitedly.
They are researchers at the Imperial Agency, and they can be said to be the core of the mecha technology of the New Brad Kingdom, and the reason why they are so excited is the thing in front of them.
And before them was a work of great magnificence, which seemed to them to be as epic as God's Genesis.
It's a mecha - it's hard to think it's a mech! Because it's a little bit bigger! A monster like [Achilles] is already a very incredible thing, but now what appears in front of you is the size of three [Achilles] mechas! What's more, this mecha is not humanoid, but has the silhouette of a beast, with two horns on its head and a long tail!
Isn't that the Cretan Bull that ravaged Constantinople four years ago?
But if you look closely, you will find that although it is very similar, it is completely different, because this mecha exudes a very peculiar aura, far surpassing the [Cretan Fire Bull], ancient and vicissitudes, and breathtaking. And more importantly, the [Cretan Fire Bull] is a ridiculous imitation in front of it, and it is worthless at all!
This was one of the reasons why the Herod had received from the Holy Sepulchre in the first place, second only to the Origin Species, and even caused the turmoil of that thousand-year-old empire. This is a super A-level quasi-S-class ancient mecha. Those [heretical] imitations are not comparable at all! "Decades ago, the Crusaders and the forces of New Rome regained the holy city of Jerusalem, and by accident, they discovered the remains of the Holy Sepulchre under St. Peter's Basilica, where ancient mechs fell into view.
The new Roman Empire took the lead in mastering mecha technology, reversing the original disadvantage in Anatolia, and the Holy See took this opportunity to become the absolute hegemon of the West.
However, the two have opposite views on the ancient mecha - the Holy Church advocates the use of all the power of the ancient mecha, but the new Roman Empire believes that the ancient mecha is a gift from the devil and stops studying it, which is why the technology of the imperial mecha has stagnated later, but there are many people in the empire who do not think so and secretly study it.
This led to the escalation of tensions between the emperor and the nobility. For example, the Cretan Bull was the result of the [heretics] of the New Roman Empire, and it proved to be a very powerful weapon.
The so-called [Cretan Fire Bull] is just an imitation, and this is actually an imitation of this ancient mecha at this time. This is actually an existence that the Holy See does not know, and has always been secretly existing by the New Bullard Kingdom. Although it was devastating when it was discovered, a breakthrough has been made through ten years of restoration and the harvest of the Cretan Bull four years ago.
And that's what Baldwin saw as a powerful force. If it succeeds, nothing will be able to suppress its existence unless it is an origin species.
