Chapter 302: The Praetorian Guards of the Royal City
“…… I will only serve my master, so your request will not be fulfilled. ”
Baixiang shook his head, slowly but firmly.
"Tsk, I said, Prince Ios, it's a pity that you occupy such a talented talent and can't make the most of it." The Bishop smacked his lips and looked at Ios, "Why don't you give her to me, and I will recognize your status as the heir to the throne on behalf of the Temple." ”
"Don't even think about it, unless I die."
Ios looked at him coldly, his voice squeezing out from between his teeth.
"So, we don't seem to be able to get along, right?"
The Bishop shook his head.
"Take your people, get out of here now!" Ios clenched his fists, "Otherwise, don't think about leaving!" I don't care what has changed in Saxon during the ten years I've been away, but since I'm back, it's up to me to decide! ”
"Yes, yes, this is the sharpness that young people should have." The bishop clapped his hands appreciatively, "But I'm afraid that everything may not be as Prince Ios expected." ”
"There are injured people who need to rest today, so I won't bother anymore and leave here. But in three days, I hope Prince Ios will change his attitude and we will have a pleasant conversation hahaha! ”
After saying that, he walked away surrounded by the priests.
His laughter lingered in the tent for a long time......
——
"Abominable ——!"
When the bishop's figure had completely disappeared, Ios slammed his fist into the ground.
"This arrogant guy, if it weren't for the fear of implicating innocent soldiers, I would never let him provoke me so blatantly, and he could leave easily!"
"No, you're doing it right, it's him going too far."
I crouched down beside Ios and patted him on the shoulder and comforted.
"Master, is there anything I need to do?" Bai Maung said softly, "If the target is that person, my dagger will not miss at all......"
"No, the situation is still unclear and it is too early to make a decision on this." Ios took a deep breath, and his mood stabilized slightly, "Let's get a feel for the environment first." ”
Speaking of which, although Ios has won the battle, he has not yet had time to enter the royal city. The real power of the country has not yet been grasped by him.
Moreover, the mysterious temple is completely unknown, and if you act in a hurry, it may backfire.
"Okay."
I nodded in unison with Baixiang, and this decision has to be said to be wise.
——
"Prepare horses for us, and we will enter the palace."
After making sure that the wounded would be properly cared for, Ios gave orders to the soldiers beside him.
The immediate priority is to sit on the throne that represents the highest power and calm everything that has been disturbed by the war.
However, several soldiers had expressions of struggle on their faces.
"What's wrong? Could it be that there is something wrong? ”
Seeing several soldiers standing in place and not moving, Ios couldn't help frowning.
"Your Highness, Ios, you haven't been in Saxon for a long time, so you may not know anything." One soldier leaned in and whispered, "Just ...... Are you in conflict with the Templar Bishop? ”
"So what?" Ios asked, "I'm the Saxon king, and if he dares to rush at me, he must be terrified and worried!" ”
"No, Your Highness Ios, it's not good for you to do that......" The soldier hurriedly pressed down with his palm, signaling Ios to whisper, "Without the oracle of the Templar Bishop, you would not be able to move an inch in the royal city, and you would not even have the right to enter the palace......"
"Haha, why?!" Ios couldn't help but be stunned, and then laughed mockingly, "I just don't listen to him, so what?" ”
"In that case, the entire Saxon army will be your enemy." The soldier smiled helplessly, "The Templar has the right to control and command the entire army to crusade against those who disobey him. This even includes kings in special cases! ”
“——!”
Bai Maung and I looked at each other, and we both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
Things have developed to this point, and the so-called Saxon king has actually died in name only, right?
"Oh, that's a big deal!" Ios was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned completely gloomy, "Are you going to kill me?" Come, I'll just stand here and crush my head with your axe! ”
"Your Highness Ios...... Please don't mess around......" Several soldiers looked embarrassed, "We know you're reluctant, and we admire you for being a person...... But you really can't mess around with this one. The Saxons had been completely controlled by the Temple years earlier......"
"He's the one in control, so why didn't he stand up when my soldiers were in the city? You have watched the country be trampled to a decent, indifferent, and my efforts to bring her back on track have become nonsense? This is the Saxon that I have always loved and am willing to give my life for? ”
Ios couldn't help but laugh, his eyes thick with sarcasm.
“……”
Several of the soldiers were red-faced, and they bowed their heads without saying a word.
"Forget it, you don't have the courage, but I do!" Ios himself dragged three horses from the side stable, "I also want to tell you that this time I'm not only going to make a fuss, I'm going to make a mess!" ”
The three of us mounted our horses and galloped away, leaving the soldiers who had kept their heads down all along.
——
We left the barracks and headed for the palace.
Ios's mood was visibly restless, and the whip in his hand kept whipping the horse's back, galloping without stopping.
Knowing that he couldn't listen to anything in his anger, Bai Maung and I could only try to follow behind and accompany him.
In this way, soon the royal palace appeared in view.
The Saxon royal palace is obviously far inferior to Camelot in Britain, both in terms of momentum and appearance.
However, by the standards of ordinary countries, it is not bad.
However, at this moment, Ios is not in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery at all.
Because on both sides of the palace gate in front, there are actually two teams of well-equipped Saxon soldiers guarding it!
Unlike the shirtless men in the barracks outside, armed with axes and barbarians more warriors than warriors, these soldiers were dressed in neat and sturdy armor and armed with standard weapons such as spears and short swords.
They pay more attention to the training they have acquired than their natural wildness.
"Did even the Praetorian Guards of the Royal City be dispatched? The bishop is determined to tear his face with His Highness Ios......"
"Alas...... Prince Ios is still too young, is the Sanctuary such an easy thing to deal with...... I'm afraid he's going to be humiliated now. ”
"I can't say that, Prince Ios himself is a descendant of the fire dragon, and it makes sense that he declared war on the temple that represents the divine power......"
The whispers of the onlookers on both sides reached our ears.
