Chapter 9: The Templars

The Palace of Versailles, the most exclusive hardware workshop in all of France.

Louis XVI proudly showed his work with two prophets, a king with a penchant for locks and a great talent for lockmaking, who produced a large number of beautiful and artistic mechanical locks.

Huang Luofeng couldn't help but admire it sincerely, thinking that Louis XVI and the carpenter emperor of the Ming Dynasty were like-minded, and if the two met, they would probably become confidants.

Just as Louis XVI was being blown by the Huang Luo wind and let out a hearty laugh, an official suddenly rushed in in a panic.

"Your Majesty, no, a few miles away suddenly appeared more than two thousand troops, carrying red, white, and blue banners, each armed with muskets, and marching towards the Palace of Versailles."

"What!" A startled Louis XVI staggered back.

"Your Majesty don't need to panic, in fact, I had long expected the rebel forces to come, so I asked Captain Eborn to do a good job of arming it yesterday. You've also seen the bunkers and the protective equipment, which the rebels couldn't easily storm Versailles. As soon as our reinforcements arrive, they will be flanked on both sides, and all that awaits them is destruction. ”

Hearing this news, Huang Luofeng was not surprised, what should have come is still coming, and it will not be so simple to settle the revolution, fortunately, I have been prepared.

"But ......," Louis XVI said.

"The so-called army of the thieves is nothing more than a rabble, and even if they outnumber us, the well-trained Swiss Guards can still defeat them." At this time, Captain Eborn also walked in, "Your Majesty, you will never be harmed in any way, I can assure you of this with my life. ”

"Well, I'm not doubting the professionalism of the Swiss Guards. I would like to ask if there is a peaceful solution, and I believe that they have only been blinded for a moment. ”

Hearing that the king was still making remarks sympathetic to the rebels, Huang Luofeng felt angry and funny, "Of course there is a way, that is, you will give up the power in your hands and implement a constitutional monarchy, but you will definitely not agree, and I will not be willing." He thought to himself.

"Nope! The end must be the complete destruction of one side. Huang Luofeng replied categorically.

As soon as the rebels came into range, a heavy burst of gunfire ensued, and a fierce exchange of fire ensued.

At the orders of the commander, the rebel soldiers dispersed, advancing while returning fire, and by this time it was already evening, and the night gave them good cover, but there were still casualties from time to time in the face of the Swiss Guard, a well-trained professional mercenary.

"The plan for the raid failed, it seems that we underestimated Louis XVI, they were ready to attack, are we going to change our strategy?"

Someone said worriedly that in the rear of the revolutionary army was a group of high-ranking people on war horses.

Brissot looked at the top of the revolutionary faction around him, and his heart was also very anxious, and the key point that decided the victory was one word - "fast".

As long as the defenders of Paris arrived to capture the Palace of Versailles and hold Louis VI hostage, then even if a large number of troops arrived, they would not be able to return to heaven, and then force Louis XVI to compromise and sign a treaty, and establish a constitutional monarchy or even a revolutionary government is not a utopian dream.

Unexpectedly, the other party had already been prepared, and now if he wants to break through the defense in a short time, he is afraid that it will be difficult.

It would be nice if there were artillery, Brissot sighed.

To make matters worse, if they don't capture before reinforcements arrive, they will be caught in front and back, and they will be defeated.

Continue the attack, or retreat first to preserve strength? The revolutionary army was in a dilemma.

"Hmph, it's really useless, in the end, I still have to do it myself."

Just when Brissot was at a loss, a mysterious revolutionary high-ranking man in a brown cloak stepped forward.

As the cloak was removed, a delicate and shiny knight's armor was exposed, and when he put on his helmet, he looked like a medieval knight.

It was noted that his white cloak was painted with a large blood-colored cross, the emblem of the Knights Templar.

……

Huang Luofeng did not hide indoors, he stood on the balcony of the palace with some palace officials, holding binoculars and observing the battle between the two armies in the distance.

And Qi Liuyun asked for a smoothbore gun to participate in the shootout in person, and killing the enemy was rewarded with points, and he didn't want to let go of this opportunity.

"Even-bought Karma! What is that? An official suddenly exclaimed.

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a white shadow, passing through all the revolutionary soldiers, straight towards the main gate of the Palace of Versailles, and the speed was extremely fast.

"A ...... Knight? Mika couldn't help but scoff, "Could it be that they have broken their brains and want to break through the fortifications with the charge of just one knight?" No kidding, what do you think of our array of muskets? Times have changed, and a knight's armor can't stop bullets! ”

But Huang Luofeng couldn't laugh, he didn't believe that the other party would be brain-dead enough to make such a funny move.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!

What's the mystery of this knight?

"! Wasn't that the Templars? Through the observation of the telescope, Huang Luofeng recognized the sign.

"Templars? Is it to avenge the annihilation of the group that year? With that, Mika took off the musket from his back and aimed it at the knight, "Perhaps he has explosives with him, and as a sign of respect for his sacrificial chivalry, I will marry him." ”

His musket was a special rifle, which was still very rare in this era due to its cost and craftsmanship.

The difference between a rifle and a smoothbore gun is the rifling inside the barrel, the rifling gives the bullet a rotating force, so it is more accurate and has a longer range as compared to a smoothbore gun.

As for the one in Mika's hand, the barrel has been modified and lengthened, and it obviously looks like a sniper rifle.

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out, and green smoke rose from the muzzle, and the latter continued on as if nothing had happened.

"Didn't hit?"

"Impossible! Why didn't he have anything? I guess I already hit him. Mika frowned, and then he took aim and fired, and the result was the same.

"It's weird." Huang Luofeng also said, "You see, it's not just you, other people are also setting fire to him, but the bullets don't seem to be able to penetrate his armor, and they all bounce to the ground." ”

"The mount that struck him, his mount is not protected by armor." The officer next to him said.

He didn't need to be reminded that someone had already shot at the knight's mount.

Originally, the mount looked like a black horse, but as the bullet fired, the fur gradually fell off, revealing a translucent body made of silver-white light, like a ghost horse.

"What is that?" Someone exclaimed.

"It is the Holy Spirit Pegasus, legend has it that it came from heaven, and it is a war horse given by the Lord to the Paladins of the Guardians. If it was a Templar order, it would not be surprising to have it. "It was the court priest Father MΓΌller who answered.

"Holy Spirit Pegasus?" Mika turned to the priest, "Does it have any weaknesses?" ”

Mueller shook his head and spread his hands: "I don't know, it's a secret that only the bishops of the Holy See have access to, and I'm just a priest." ”

Seeing the appearance of the Holy Spirit Pegasus, everyone fell into a huge shock, so much so that for a short time, even the gunfire was much quieter.

"I didn't expect it to be a magic game! Is it because I made too much movement and changed the course of history, so I attracted the boss? Huang Luofeng sighed, he had a faint bad premonition in his heart.

Mika was stunned, "Lord Prophet, you...... What are you talking about? ”
