Chapter 128: The Pope
There weren't many people in the Lord's Square at this time, because the archon hadn't brought Federico with him. 23. Fastest Amami Shu was dressed in a very ordinary dress, he hid his hair and face under the hood of his clothes, wore a mask, and sat on a bench on the edge of the Lord's Square.
As an Assassin, be patient with the wait. The time of the execution was not stated in the mission, so after eating some casually, Amami Shu sat here early in the morning and waited.
Time passed little by little, and Amami Shu sat motionless on the bench, closing his eyes to recuperate. Finally, after the entrance to the Plaza della Signoria, a group of soldiers walked in neatly. In the middle of these soldiers, a man was being pressed in a prisoner's cart. Amami Shu, who heard the noise, looked over and saw that the person who was being escorted by the soldiers was none other than Ezio's brother, Federico.
Federico was still wearing his red clothes, and there were no signs of brokenness on the clothes, so it seemed that the prison guards had not mistreated him excessively.
The soldiers escorted him to Xingtai and put a noose around his neck on Xingtai.
Uberto Alberti stood on the gallows, gathering the eyes and attention of all in Piazza della Signoria with his words. But in fact, when Uberto walked into the Piazza della Signoria with the soldiers and the 'prisoners', everyone's eyes were on it.
Seeing more and more of these unsuspecting people become more and more, Uberto's heart became more and more satisfied.
Beside him stood a man dressed in a black and red robe, with a hood, and like Amami Shu, his face was hidden under the hood, making it impossible to see clearly.
The civilians didn't know who this man was, but Amami Shu knew. This man was called Rodrigo Borgia, known as Alexander VI, the cardinal of Spain, the future Pope.
He was also the leader of the Knights Templar in Europe.
In addition to these two people, four people stood on the gallows.
The four men were dressed in white robes and heavy golden armor, and each carried a short axe behind them. Those were four very powerful Templars.
Amami wanted to get rid of the Archon directly after saving Federico, but after seeing the four Templars, Amami felt that this idea could be abandoned.
Uberto looked at the crowd of civilians and shouted, "Federico Auditore, a traitor." He, along with his father and family, was charged with treason. ”
Then he looked at Federico again and asked, "What evidence do you have to protest?" ”
Although Giovanni and the other males of the Auditore family were not captured as planned, Federico was able to be captured, and through this trial ceremony, the rest of the Auditore family would definitely be lured. One treason crime is enough to take down everyone in their family, even if the other party comes up with evidence, as long as he does not admit the authenticity of the evidence and secretly sends soldiers to destroy the evidence, then everything is not a problem.
And this time the cardinal brought his knights to help him, so how could there be an accident.
Federico didn't have any excuses, because he knew that any defenses were useless. He didn't expect that his father's collaborator would betray the Auditore family.
Uberto also knew that Federico would not quibble, but instead of immediately announcing the inquisitor's move, he waited for the others to appear. But after waiting for a long time, he didn't hear Giovanni come out and shout 'protest'.
This made Giovanni's heart a little anxious. The Bishop is watching from the sidelines, and if this matter is not handled properly, then the road to promotion will definitely not be so smooth.
But time could not drag on like this, so he was ruthless and hanged Federico directly, not believing that Giovanni would not come out.
So he announced the trial in a loud voice: "In the absence of convincing evidence to defend it, I must declare you guilty and hereby sentence you to death." ”
In this era, the death penalty for nobles was generally beheading. But Uberto was going to put Federico to death by hanging, which was clearly an insult to the Auditore family.
But Federico had no choice but to wait quietly for death to come.
At the control of the gallows, the executioner saw Uberto's gesture and was about to pull the lever. As soon as his hand was on the lever and about to pull, an arrow shot through his chest. The arrows of arrows pierced through his back.
"It's Auditore's comrade, catch him for me!" Uberto pointed to Osamu Amami, who had just shot an arrow, and ordered his soldiers to catch him. He thought that this man was either Giovanni or Ezio.
The soldiers received the order, immediately brandished their weapons, and swarmed up. But where are these soldiers Tianjian Xiu's opponents, and it didn't take long for the soldiers to be half eliminated by Tianjian Xiu, and the other half was also beaten half-dead by Tianjian Xiu.
Uberto didn't expect this to happen, and was a little flustered for a while. Rodrigo, who had been standing on the gallows, suddenly motioned for the four Templars to take down Tenjian Xiu.
The four Templars obeyed Lord Rodrigo's orders and removed their weapons from the gallows. Running and rushing in front of Amami Shu, he surrounded Amami Shu in the middle.
Amami Shu clenched the two weapons in his hand, and in the face of these four Templars, Amami Shu turned on [Cold Blood] and instantly entered a state of absolute calm.
It was expected that the two sides would stalemate for a while, but the Templars did not have such thoughts. The four Templars stood in four directions, front, back, left, and right. The Templar standing behind him rushed forward with his short axe, and was met with a slash.
Tianjian Xiu from the perspective of [Eagle Eye] naturally saw the opponent's movements clearly, so he quickly turned around, raised his weapon, and parried the opponent's attack.
With a "bang", the short axe slashed at the blade, creating a string of sparks. But at the moment of contact, Amami Shu clenched the hand of the weapon and trembled.
Tianjian Xiu didn't expect that the other party's strength was not below him. I have 245 points of strength. That's the equivalent of 122.5 kilograms of muscle power, and the impact of a fist can reach 245 kilograms. is more than twice as much as an ordinary person, and this person can be on par with himself.
Not daring to stalemate with the Templar for too long, Amami flicked his axe away and slammed his weapon into the chest.
But the other party's reaction was not slow, and after a fruitless blow, he also had the intention of accepting a move, so he could have escaped the attack of Tianjian Xiu.
The other three Templars weren't going to just sit on the sidelines. It's four to one, not one. When there is a vacancy in the Heavenly Cultivation Practice, others will naturally not be indifferent. A Templar then struck, and the hatchet was picked up horizontally.
Amami Shu hurriedly used one of these weapons to block the opponent's attack. With a bang, the weapons collided again. This person's strength is still not under the Heavenly Cultivation Force, and the strength of the two is evenly matched. But Tianjian Xiusheng has a high agility attribute and flexible thinking.
The body twisted in a difficult way, and the weapon in the other hand was retracted into space, and the Hidden Blade in the wrist instantly popped out, and then stabbed the opponent's throat under the helmet.
There, there is no protection.
With a "poof", the Hidden Blade successfully stabbed in. This represents four Templars, leaving only three.
However, Amami's attack was successful, and another Templar who had been waiting for an opportunity was also striking at the same time, and the short axe in his hand had already been swung, and there was only a few centimeters left from Amami's back!
