Chapter 958: I'm going to be wiped out
Williams and his entourage, who walked out of the royal court, were riding through the city in a carriage at the moment, and in the carriage, a bishop who accompanied Williams looked at Archbishop Williams with some confusion and said: "Bishop, that Lomanus V has no bad intentions at all, he obviously wants to pull our Holy See into the water." ”
Obviously, no one is a fool, and Lomanus V's calculations are indeed good, but he can't hide them from others.
The corner of Archbishop Williams's mouth showed a sneer of disdain: "Lomanus V's little abacus is indeed a good one, but this time he is going to be disappointed. ”
Saying that, Archbishop Williams glanced at the bishops under him and said: "Don't forget, this time it was Lomanus V who personally asked the Pope to come and give him a gift. ”
Several other bishops reacted when they heard this and nodded: "It's still the archbishop's thoughtfulness, if it weren't for the fact that the Pope has been taking into account the views of various countries, where would he let Lomanus V have been resisting our Holy See, yes, this time he took the initiative to ask the Holy See to come, then if he wants to get rid of the control of the Holy See, I'm afraid it's just delusional." ”
As the saying goes, everyone has his own calculations, and while Lomanus V is calculating the Holy See, why are the people of the Holy See not calculating Lomanus V, but it just depends on who can have the last laugh in the end.
Archbishop Williams is still quite strong, or the Holy See has always coveted the fat of the Byzantine Empire, otherwise Williams, one of the strongest in the Holy See, would not have been sent to the Byzantine Empire.
Now that he finally saw the hope of taking the Byzantine Empire, even if he knew that there would be a certain danger in coming this time, none of the high-ranking members of the Holy See would give up this rare opportunity.
As for the invaders from the east, to be honest, as a powerful force entrenched in this vast land, the Holy See really has nothing to fear.
You must know that there are no less than dozens of large and small countries controlled by the Holy See alone, and the Holy See itself is also very strong, as long as the Holy See is willing, it can form an extremely powerful army at any time to conquer.
In just three days, a team from the Holy See appeared outside Constantinople, the specifications of this team can be said to be the best level of the Holy See, led by the Holy See Bishop Pope himself, even the second person of the Holy See, the Inquisition, also came, including a Holy See army of tens of thousands of people.
High on the walls, Lomanus V looked far away, but saw the team from the Holy See.
Several divine knights standing beside Lomanus V looked solemnly at the vast number of people and horses of the Holy See coming in the distance, and their faces couldn't help but show worry.
However, Lomanus V seemed very calm, since the decision had been made, then it was natural to be mentally prepared for everything, in the opinion of Lomanus V, the worst result was nothing more than the Byzantine Empire falling into the control of the Holy See.
Of course, the outcome that Lomanus V wanted most was that the Holy See and those invaders from the East could fight a defeat, and then their Byzantine Empire would still be a powerful presence on this land, and even the Holy See would not be able to force them to submit.
A voice came, and I saw Archbishop Williams in full costume leading several bishops towards Lomanus V, and said as he walked: "His Holiness the Pope has arrived, please go with the bishop to greet him." ”
Lomanus V laughed, and said to Archbishop Williams with a very enthusiastic look: "The Pope has come from afar, and I, as the host, should personally greet him." ”
When Lomanus V and Archbishop Williams walked down the city wall and appeared at the city gate, the city gate slowly opened with the order of Lomanus V, and at the same time, the papal men and horses also appeared outside the city gate.
Looking at the gradually approaching carriage, a faint gleam flashed in the eyes of Lomanus V, who had been committed to blocking the invasion of the Byzantine Empire from the Holy See all these years, and he never dreamed that one day, he would personally welcome the Pope into the city of Constantinople.
Taking a deep breath and suppressing the thoughts flying in his heart, Lomanus V took a step forward and rushed to the raceway: "Lomanus V, I have seen His Majesty the Pope!" ”
A soft voice came from the carriage, "No formality. ”
Then a figure stepped out of the carriage, a man dressed in fine clothes, who looked to be about fifty years old, giving people a sense of sacredness, as if there was really a god walking in the world.
The Pope, as the existence that is known as the closest to the gods in the Holy See, is also the top in the world, comparable to the powerhouses of the Central Plains Heavenly Master Realm.
The inquisition, who was full of murderous aura, was standing beside the Pope at this moment, and his aura was impossible to ignore, even if he stood with the dazzling Pope, he did not lose his brilliance.
Lomanus V only glanced at it, and his heart couldn't help but ripple, he thought that the Pope was the only one in the Holy See at most with a cultivation comparable to that of a god, but he never thought that the Inquisitor in front of him was not much worse than the Pope, and he was also an existence in the realm of a celestial master.
Thinking that he was most likely luring a wolf into the house, Lomanus V couldn't help but feel a little worried, and even at this moment Lomanus V actually had a strange thought.
I hope that the invaders from the east will be stronger, otherwise, I am afraid that it will not be enough to bring fatal damage to the Holy See.
I don't know what the reaction would have been if the others had known what was going on in the minds of Lomanus V.
Lomanus V suppressed the waves in his heart and kept a smile on his face, and said slightly: "You come with this king, this king has already set up a banquet, especially for you." ”
Just when the Pope led the papal men into the city of Constantinople, a small city a hundred miles away from Constantinople had been easily breached, and a large army of men and horses came.
Chu Yi, who was riding on horseback, looked at Lu Junyi and the others beside him, and said with a whip in one hand: "How long will it take to get to Constantinople City?" ”
Hearing this, Lu Junyi said to Chu Yi: "Back to the general manager, if there is no accident, according to the current speed of the march, the wind will be able to reach Constantinople at sunset." ”
Chu Yi nodded slightly when he heard this, if it was said that a very small number of them were in a hurry, I am afraid that they would have arrived in Constantinople a few days ago, but Chu Yi and the others could not leave the army behind.
Even if they were able to rush to Constantinople and even wipe out the resistors in Constantinople, but they were only thirty or forty people, could they still control a city with countless people?
The speed of the march of the army was already quite fast, otherwise, it would be absolutely difficult to reach the distance of a hundred miles in most of the day.
At sunset
Constantinople, royal court
The banquet had already dispersed, and Lomanus V was leading his ten divine knights to sit in a large hall with all the people of the Holy See, looking at the herald in front of him with a solemn expression.
Regarding the actions of Chu Yi's army, to be honest, not only the Holy See, but also Lomanus V sent people to keep an eye on it, and it was precisely because they got the news that Chu Yi and the others would appear outside Constantinople in a short time.
Lomanus V glanced at the Pope and said: "Your Majesty, this King has already told Archbishop Williams before, as long as the Byzantine Empire can survive the catastrophe, then my Byzantine Empire will definitely submit to the Holy See in the future." ”
The Pope put down the tea in his hand and glanced up at Lomanus V, which made him feel that all his little thoughts had been seen through.
However, although Lomanus V was a little nervous in his heart, he did not panic, he did not believe that the Pope could not guess his plan, this can be described as a conspiracy, the Holy See knew his plan, but in order to plot against the Byzantine Empire, he had to take the initiative to end.
"I hope you don't forget today's words, otherwise you will ......"
Before the Pope's words fell, an aura of murder burst out, not the chief Inquisition, who was sitting motionless.
As the existence of the Holy See's punishment, the Inquisition's deterrent power in the Holy See is probably even stronger than that of the Pope.
The black-clad Inquisitor only glanced at Lomanus V faintly, giving him a sense of uneasiness that he was being targeted by the devil.
Taking a deep breath, Lomanus V even had to laugh to hide his uneasiness: "This king does what he says, and I can guarantee that as long as he repels the invading enemy this time, this king will accept the crown of the Holy See in this royal court." ”
There was a rush of footsteps, and I saw a knight dressed in armor and with a panicked face hurrying into the main hall, and knelt down to the ground with a puff and saluted the people present: "I have seen all of you. ”
Lomanus V looked at the knight, leaned forward slightly and stared at the other party, "But those Orientals appeared?" ”
The knight nodded and said, "The other party's army has already appeared a few miles outside the city, and it is coming towards the city at this moment, and judging by its situation, it seems that it wants to attack the city in one go!" ”
Archbishop Williams, who had been sitting there, couldn't help but speak: "Oh, I never thought that the other party would be so unwise, coming from afar, and not even preparing to let the army rest and attack the city, aren't you afraid that your soldiers and horses will not be strong?" ”
What Archbishop Williams can think of, Chu Yi, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others can all be called famous marshals in the world, how could they not be aware of this, in this case, Chu Yi and others are still preparing to attack the city of Constantinople in one go, naturally they have their own considerations.
Lomanus V suddenly got up and said to the Pope and the others: "Your Majesty, please!" ”
The Pope slowly rose and walked with Lomanus V towards the city walls.
Soon on the city wall, a group of people stood there, looking into the distance, and then they saw a cloud of smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and even because of the galloping horses, the earth was shaken, even if they stood on the city wall, they could feel the shaking of the earth.
"It's coming!"
Seeing this situation, including the Pope, they all showed a little surprise, after all, Archbishop Williams had said before that these Orientals came from afar, and they were going to attack the city without even resting, even if they had a lot of strength, they were afraid that they would not be able to exert a few points.
At this moment, the chief inquisitor squinted his eyes and looked at the army that was rapidly approaching in the distance, and a cold light flashed in his eyes and said: "Let the chief of the inquisition take a look to see if these Orientals are as powerful as the legend." ”
As he spoke, he saw the chief inquisition fly up, and a scepter in his hand swept fiercely forward, and suddenly a terrifying aura shook the void, almost visible to the naked eye, and swept towards the army that was galloping in front of him.
As a strong man at the level of a celestial master, a blow with all his strength is definitely not something that ordinary people can resist, even if a strong man of heaven and man faces this blow, there is only one way to die, let alone a group of soldiers.
If no one stops it this time, I am afraid that at least half of the tens of thousands of vanguard troops who bear the brunt of the attack will fall.
Annihilating tens of thousands of armies with a single blow is simply an easy thing for the Heavenly Master powerhouse.
But in the army, when the Pope and others appeared on the city wall and did not hide their aura, Chu Yi and the others had already sensed the aura of these strong men from the Holy See.
Especially when the inquisitor made a move, Chu Yi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and his eyes fell on Luo Zhenren beside him and said, "Luo Zhenren, but he has worked hard." ”
Luo Zhenren's eyes flashed with excitement, and when he heard this, he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The chief manager is polite, Poor Dao has not yet made an inch of merit this time, and it is an honor for Poor Dao to be valued by the chief manager." ”
While speaking, Luo Zhenren shook the dust in his hand, and he strode out like a fairy, but he appeared in the air in the blink of an eye.
The dust in his hand flicked forward, and an incomparable energy swept towards the Inquisition.
Just when Luo Zhenren appeared in front of the people, the inquisitor obviously sensed the aura on Luo Zhenren's body, frowned, and showed a bit of solemnity and excitement in his eyes.
Obviously, the chief inquisitor has sensed that Luo Zhenren's body is not much weaker than him, as the so-called chess opponent will meet a good talent, the chief inquisition is happy to see the hunt, not only did not feel worried because of Luo Zhenren's strength, but gave birth to a sense of joy.
"Inquisitor of the Holy See, Roland!"
Sensing the thoughts from Referee Roland, Luo Zhenren was only slightly stunned, and with a flick of his long sleeves, he immediately suppressed the waves caused by the blow of the two of them, and said with a smile: "Great Song Daomen, Luo Zhenren!" ”
On the city wall, looking at the situation of Luo Zhenren and Judge Roland facing each other from afar, everyone had different expressions.
Lomanus V's face became a little ugly, obviously he didn't expect that there was an existence among the Orientals on the other side who could be comparable to the chief referee of Roland.
For a moment, Lomanus V was both excited and worried, worried about whether Constantinople would be able to survive this catastrophe, and excited that the Holy See was afraid that it would have to pay some price this time, otherwise, it would be difficult to repel these Oriental armies.
And the people in the Holy See didn't have much time to pay attention to Lomanus V at this time, including Archbishop Williams and the Pope, all of them looked at Luo Zhenren's figure with solemn expressions.
The Pope subconsciously clenched the scepter in his hand and whispered to Archbishop Williams: "Why didn't we mention in our news that there is an existence comparable to the god level in the other party's army? ”
Hearing the Pope's inquiry, Archbishop Williams couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "This kind of existence will not make a move at all, so it is reasonable that we have not received the news." ”
