Chapter 217: Who Calls the Shots on My Territory?
"Prisoner Ben, report your crimes to His Majesty the Emperor. ”
Raphael glanced at Viscount Benn, and then said in a cold voice.
"Don't!"
Viscount Benn looked up at Raphael, his gaze full of pleading through his gray hair.
"Ben En, all the heavenly gods you have done have been watching, there is no escape, the best choice for yourself is to confess and strive for the gods' forgiveness for you, otherwise if you really wait for the gods to punish you, you will not only be unable to escape, I am afraid that your family will be implicated. ”
Raphael looked back at Benn with a kind smile on his face, but his gaze was cold enough to make his heart palpitate.
"Great God of Light, I confess my sins to you. I, as a citizen of God, do not want to thank God for his favor, but under the coercion and bewitchment of the Marquis of Blatter and General Geraint, I have committed the heinous crime of colluding with horse bandits, destroying idols, killing the papal guards, and attempting to destroy the friendship between the papacy and the Higg empire. ”
Benn looked at the sky in the distance and said with a blank expression, but his voice was not so much confessing the crime as reciting a confession given to him.
"Benn, what are you talking about? Are you crazy?"
Benn wasn't crazy, but Blatter was going mad, he never thought he would be framed by his own son-in-law, who was still a seemingly loyal man.
"I'm sorry, father-in-law. ”
Tears welled up in Viscount Benn's sunken eyes, and after bowing to Blatter in a distant distance, he shook his head, closed his eyes and said no more.
"The criminal himself has already confessed, does Your Majesty have anything else to say?"
Raphael took a step forward, his tone aggressive.
"This..."
Boothman Rolland really hesitated this time, could it be that Blatter and the others really did such a thing behind their backs? Otherwise, why would his son-in-law stand up and testify against him?
"Come on, arrest the criminal Blatter and his henchmen. ”
Seeing that Boothman Roland's attitude was relaxed, Raphael waved his hand, and the papal guards behind him were about to rush up to take people with ropes in their hands.
"Your Majesty, please believe the minister, what Benn said is not the truth, he must have been forced by the Holy See to say this. In order to find out this matter, the old minister had a suggestion to hand Benn over to the Imperial Ministry of Justice for interrogation, and if the outcome of the trial was the same, the old minister was willing to plead guilty. ”
Before the escort came up, Blatter knelt beside Busman Roland's carriage with a puff, and the old marquis said in a hoarse and mournful voice. Seeing Ben's painful appearance just now, the old marquis's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of the problem.
Since Benn was arrested, his daughter and grandson must not be spared, and the reason why Benn framed himself must be because his wife and children's lives were forced to be controlled by the Holy See, so as long as Benn is freed from the control of the Holy See, the truth will be revealed immediately.
"Wait. ”
As soon as Boothman Roland waved his hand, the guards beside him immediately stepped forward to stop the guards of the Holy See.
"Bishop Raphael, I think Minister Blatter is right, regardless of whether Viscount Ben's crime is true or not, since Viscount Benn is a nobleman of the Higg Empire, then his crimes should also be handed over to the Hig Empire for interrogation. And please rest assured, if the crime is true, the Higg Empire will definitely give the Holy See an explanation. ”
After Blatter's reminder, Busman Rolland finally regained some of his consciousness as the master of Hig, and he also had other wishful thinking to tell Raphael through this incident that this is Triumph City, and it is his Busman Rolland's territory, even if the Higg people are really guilty, he will condemn it, and it is not the turn of a cardinal of the Holy See to ask the teacher for guilt.
"Your Majesty, you must understand that they have committed a great crime of blasphemy, not only Ben'en, but even Blat, they must all be brought to the Holy See for trial, otherwise the God of Light will be very unhappy, and His Majesty Hepburn will blame me for my bad deeds. Guards, take down the blasphemer quickly. ”
Raphael regained his face, dismissed Busman Rolland's request without mercy, and ordered the guards to proceed with Blatter's capture.
"Presumptuous! This is the Higg Empire, and it's not your turn to be a cardinal of the Holy See to go wild. ”
Enraged by Raphael's faceless behavior in front of his subordinates, Boothman Rolland slapped the armrest, got up from the carriage, and pointed his finger at Raphael and reprimanded.
"Your Majesty, this is a mistake. This is Higg, yes, but it is also the Higg diocese of the Holy See, and the Holy See certainly has the power to deal with blasphemous acts in the diocese. ”
Raphael turned a blind eye to Bussman Rolland's rebuke, and even explained it slowly with a smile on his face, but his attitude did not loosen, and he seemed to be ready to confront Boothman Rolland to the end.
"Okay, today I'll let you see who is the real owner of this place, and who is in charge of this place. ”
The young emperor was so angry that he waved his hand at Raphael's team in front of him and excitedly ordered:
"Someone, bring me Viscount Benn. ”
Hearing His Majesty's order from the Emperor, a group of guards immediately rushed out of the Praetorian Guard and surrounded Raphael, but before they could get closer, the parish guards behind Raphael also rushed up to stop them, and the two sides immediately confronted each other, and the swords were tense, as long as the masters of both sides gave an order, it would be a bloody battle immediately.
"Bold, I think you're going to rebel. Send the order to go down and let the army from outside come in and take down these impudent people from the Holy See. ”
In front of the ministers, Raphael actually openly confronted him, Boothman Rolland was about to go crazy, he decided to give Raphael a good look at any cost today, it is best to be able to take Raphael without blood, so Boothman Rolland thought of the new army responsible for perimeter security, in front of the army with overwhelming numerical superiority, Raphael's escort is just a mantis arm as a car.
"Haha!"
Bishop Raphael suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed:
"Since Your Majesty wants to oppose the Holy See for the sake of a few outlaws, then don't blame me for being unkind. Let the outside army come in to assist the Holy See in arresting the criminals, and by the way, let His Majesty Busman Roland understand that the whole world is God's land, the common people are God's people, and all worldly power is null and void in the face of God's will. ”
As soon as the laughter stopped, Raphael gave almost the same order as Busman Rolland. Two orders were passed down, and soon there was a flurry of horns and military orders outside, followed by the footsteps of the march and the sound of armor rubbing, indicating that the army was rapidly approaching this side.
Hearing Raphael's order, Higg's ministers were shocked, this is Hig's territory, as the head of Hig's diocese, Raphael only has hundreds of guards under him, where is the army? Could it be that the Knights Templar's army has quietly lurked near Triumph City? Everyone craned their necks to look around, and soon in the direction of the manor's gates, rows of soldiers appeared, and surrounded them from a distance, all under the banner of the Higg's Eagle, and none of them had the Knights Templar's Holy Cross insignia. In the end, Lieutenant General Clark appeared at the forefront with a group of personal soldiers.
It turned out that Raphael was just talking big words! Higg's heart was much more steady, and his courage grew.
