Volume 11 The Underworld! Chapter 30: The Ambition of the Knights (Part II)
"Listen up!" The barbarian Zagu walked around on a high slope, wearing a borrowed armor, although it didn't fit so well, and the metal felt very bad on the skin, just a few steps his developed pores made his body produce a sticky and cold feeling, which made him feel a little irritable in his heart, and from time to time he teased the leather neck guard, but he also knew that the current action was very critical, whether he could hug the patriarch's thigh or not would depend on tonight, so he tried to be calm, made a confident appearance, and said loudly: " After the quark giant elephant has washed up the camp in front of you, none of you are allowed to be lazy, give it all to me! You know, this is the glorious mission given to us by the patriarch, if you are lazy......"
At the foot of the high slope stood about two hundred poorly dressed barbarians, showing a look of understanding, and Zagu spat and flew until his mouth was dry, and finally he stopped because he was tired, and he glanced at a human knight standing next to him, and said, "Well, this...... Captain Marshall, would you like to say a few words......"
Captain Marshall was short and stout, and his size could not be compared with that of a barbarian, but such a body gave a man a feeling of strength, and his steps were extremely steady, and he stepped up the high slope, looked around, and only said one word, which was a completely different contrast from the previous Zagu's chatter. [No pop-ups.]
"Wherever the flag goes, you will rush there. ”。
"Is this the end?" Zagu was stunned, this seemed to be a different method than he had heard, shouldn't the team be boosted before they set out? Could it be that a word would solve the problem? But the reaction of the barbarian team told him that it was indeed useful, at least they understood in their simple thinking that it was too easy to just charge with a flag!
At this moment, the ground began to tremble slightly, this kind of tremor was extremely familiar to the barbarians, Zagu suddenly showed an excited look, and Captain Marshall turned to look into the distance, looking at the *** bright camp under the night sky, and a dozen quark giant elephants were rushing there like crazy.
And behind him. More than a hundred paladins turned their horses and moved in unison, waiting with bated breath for the moment when the camp would be destroyed. These paladins have been cultivated by the Knights of the Twin Blades for more than ten years, although their level is not high, and they have never been recognized by the Holy See. However, the ground armor and equipment on his body were all purchased in the diocese of the Middle Continent, and once he charged, it was enough to give most of the local priests a headache.
The wind howled on the plains of Bethlehem, the barbarians' breathing became heavy, and the heavy weapons in their hands rose and fell with their chests, but at this moment, the camp changed unexpectedly, and a dozen quark elephants actually scattered and fled in all directions as if they had encountered something extremely terrible, screaming and screaming in horror.
Including Zagu. Everyone was stunned.
"The Order's plan?"
Luo Lan repeated, as if he had thought of something deeper.
"Yes, Bethlehem, the land that the God of Light had given to his people, was now occupied by this shameful and filthy barbarian!" said Netomund indignantly. Then he saluted Luo Lan and said, "Pastor, although we, the believers of the Lord, are temporarily sheltered under the wings of the barbarians, this is only temporary, and we are always thinking about rebuilding the glory of this land. Let the Lord spread the glory of His land in every corner of the Eastern Continent. ”
"Let's talk about the plan, I think both the Lord and I are more interested in this," Luo Lan shrugged his eyebrows and said, "After the establishment of the diocese, the Lord will have more time to listen to your prayers, and now there is no need to rush ...... for a while."
"Yes, sir......" Netomund smiled awkwardly. He cleared his throat. "We've been working on this plan for seven or eight years. He was well prepared, including the eating habits and habits of Ukanyi, the barbarian leader, and who were his henchmen, who he could trust, and who could approach him. ”
"Captain Netomund, do you mean that I or simply my people will be responsible for the assassination?" Luo Lan's finger tapped the bloodstained railing on the side, as if he said casually, this is just a temptation for him, if the other party lets himself make a move, it means that there is a big loophole in this plan, or it is simply used to deceive himself, if so, he secretly showed a sneer, then tonight's killing can be drawn a perfect rest.
Netomund was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "How can we let the pastor take action, this is naturally something we have already prepared." ”
"Oh?" Luo Lan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "How sure are you?"
"Probably...... More than eighty percent sure......" Netomund then added: "We have a very suitable manpower, and there should be no problems." ”
Luo Lan's eyes flashed, he thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "So, if Beiselen City is taken down, what are your next steps?" As far as I know, all the people of the Knights add up to only about a thousand, even if you add my guards, it will not exceed two thousand, and the population of Beiselen City has reached more than 100,000, and it is far from enough to guard against the barbarian counterattack and control the city. ”
Netomund smiled and said, "My lord, of course we can't do it alone, but you may have forgotten that except for the barbarian garrison, most of the people living in Beiselen City are humans, and the barbarians only occupy a small part, and the patriarchs of several large clans live in the city, once we control the city, as long as we detain people, their tribes will not dare to do it casually." You can rest assured that after the Knights have spread over the years, many of the great merchants have become followers of the Illuminati, and if we do it, they are unlikely to stop us, if they will not help us. ”
Luo Lan raised his eyebrows and said, "Merchant?"
Netomund hurriedly said, "In order to expel this cloud of savages, I believe that the Lord will not reject their piety." ”
Luo Lan smiled deeply and said, "The Lord's will is not something you and I can decide. "The Holy See only allowed the nobility to believe in the Cult of Light, which was the origin of the dispute between the two popes more than a decade ago, but in Bethlehem it is clear that a fatwa is not much better than a dead letter.
"Yes, my lord, remember your teachings," Netomund quickly nodded twice on his forehead and chest, indicating that his piety had not deteriorated,
There is a huge difference between whether these merchants believe in the God of Light or the Knights, but Luo Lan has no time to ask about these details now, and he finds that the other party is still evasive and trivial, and has not yet reached the key point of substance, he secretly sneered, do you want me to make a move based on this? So he said lightly: "If the Knights' plan is only that, then I can only be disappointed in you." ”
Feeling the murderous intent inadvertently revealed in the other party's words, Netomund only felt a chill on his back, he lowered his head, avoiding Luo Lan's sharp gaze, hesitated, he gritted his teeth, and finally decided to say his hole cards, and said in a low voice: "Actually, behind the Knights, the free city-state has always supported ......"
"Huh?" Luo Lan perked up, he finally heard the most valuable news, he stared at the other party, and said, "Go on." ”
Netomund took a deep breath, since it had already been said, there was no need to hide it anymore, "The free city-states have always been dissatisfied with the barbarians' control of the plains of Bethlehem, and considered it a great threat, until after our knights were established one after another, they had expressed their willingness to accept North Selen as a member of the city-state, and there was still a vacant seat left in the ruling league...... Over the years, they have secretly provided us with countless equipment and food, which has allowed us to firmly establish ourselves in the warlock and guard legions of the free city-states behind the Great Wall of Somad as long as we occupy North Selen, so that the barbarian tribes will not dare to move. ”
Luo Lan nodded slowly, it seems that this plan has indeed been prepared for a long time, and it can be seen that they are preparing to do it, so when they came to this land, it became an unexpected variable, and the conflict of interests and beliefs led them to decide to eradicate themselves, but behind this, I am afraid that the thrust of the ruling alliance is also very huge, right?
Seeing that Luo Lan was a little moved, Netomund stepped forward, looked at him with eager eyes, and said, "My lord, tonight is the best opportunity!"
Luo Lan smiled lightly and said, "If you help me, what can you get?"
Netomund immediately fell to his knees and swore aloud: "I am willing to lead my knights to your parish, and I personally only wish not to be deprived of this sacred duty." ”
"Well, okay, I know what you want," Luo Lan waved his hand and said, "Captain Netomund, get up, I need to think about it." ”
Netomund was stunned for a moment, and said in a hurry: "My lord, the time is rare......
"I said I would consider it. ”
Netomund stood up at once, and he opened his arms and almost shouted: "My lord, under the sky of Bethlehem, don't you want to do something great?" He clenched his fists and spat out the ambition in his heart without hesitation, and said: "The world is ignorant and mediocre all its lives, and those of us who hold divine power should be above all things and overlook all the ...... in the world."
"Captain Netomund seems to be in a more anxious hurry than I am. Luo Lan looked at it with a smile, and as soon as he met his eyes, Netomund panicked, and suddenly choked, and the words behind him were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say it anymore.
Luo Lan straightened his clothes and said casually: "Tonight's matter, I believe the head of the group will handle it, right?"
"Of course. Netomund let out a long sigh, his tone not without disappointment, and said, "I'll take care of everything." ”
