Chapter 381: Supreme Summons
Not to mention some small episodes that happened halfway, these knights encountered a lot of trouble when cleaning up the battlefield in the future.
The concept of the Cross Church is more traditional, although it does not say that it is excluded, but it does not accept cremation so much, and still believes in the burial of peace, and it is even more glorious if you are lucky enough to enter the Vatican cemetery.
With so many dead people in the town now, if it is not handled properly, it will definitely cause a plague, and if it were to be replaced by other countries, it may simply be burned down, but this is very disrespectful in the concept of the Cross Church, and it will not be done.
But the town is in chaos right now, and it is impossible to find which ones are the corpses of the Church people and which are the corpses of the oathbreakers, and it is even more difficult to put back the parts that fell from the corpses.
Fortunately, these are knights who have experienced a hundred battles, and they have long been accustomed to seeing the scene of corpses all over the ground, plus their physical fitness is extremely strong, and they are quite skilled in handling it, but it takes a certain amount of time.
There were still some surviving people in the town, and Lancelot, after contacting the bishop of the Vatican area, received instructions to bring the refugees to the interior first, and to send a group of knights to garrison the areas frequented by the oathbreakers.
In this way, the huge team of refugees gathered advanced to the safe area under the protection of Lancelot and the other knights, and Lancelot also strictly followed the orders of the church, passing through weakly defended villages, he would divide some men to assist in the defense, and he brought all high-ranking knights, one person to a hundred, and there would be no more embarrassing situation when facing the elite of the oathbreakers.
In this way, the refugee team returned to the heart of the Cross Church, where they were taken in by the churches in batches, and they were properly accommodated.
By the campfire at the settlement, Luo Wei had already found a place to wash the blood off his body, put on a clean cloak and bandages, and was standing beside Al in a daze.
Still basking in the grief of losing Mrs. Smith, tears welled up in her blue eyes from time to time, and she folded her legs, buried her face gently in her knees, and said faintly, "Lock... If I hadn't been robbed by the Oathbreakers, if the Knight Chief hadn't brought someone to save me, Mrs. Smith... And everyone... None of them will die..."
Luo Wei has slowly cooled down in the past few years in the last days, but he still can't forget the pain of losing his relatives back then, so he empathizes with Al's heart at this time, but he doesn't know how to comfort people, so he doesn't know what to say at this time.
Al choked up under his breath, "They shouldn't have come... I shouldn't have left everyone alone for me..."
"Whether they come or not, I'll come." This was the only sentence Luo Wei could think of, and it was also his true inner thoughts.
Al's delicate body trembled slightly, and the little face buried in his knees poked out slightly, and his eyes looked at Luo Wei with complicated eyes.
Just as the atmosphere began to fall silent, and even began to emerge with a strange ambiguity, Lancelot came to Luo Wei's side.
"Guests from afar... Oh no... I should call you Mr. Lome. Lancelot looked at Lancelot with a friendly look and said with respect, "I have heard of your bravery in this battle, and the soldiers of the Radiance of the Republic are indeed warriors, and I would like to extend my best greetings to you." ”
After Lancelot finished speaking, he reached out and raised it in front of his forehead with a strange movement, and came to an extremely non-standard "republican military salute", and laughed a little self-deprecatingly: "I don't know if this action is right." ”
If Lancelot was a Republican Glory recruit, this kind of salute would probably be beaten by the instructor, but at this time, it was quite funny, which made the always cold Luo Wei a little unbearable.
Lancelot put down his hand and said seriously: "Please prepare for the two of you, I will take you into the Vatican in a moment." ”
Al asked, a little confused, "What's wrong?" ”
Lancelot replied, "Pope Nero II, and the Captain of the Crusaders, Hoanlison, would like to receive both." ”
Hearing these two names, Al was shocked, and he withdrew his hand a little confused, nervously unable to speak.
A few days ago, I just returned to the church, and I met with the bishop once, which already made Al very nervous, and now he suddenly wants to meet the supreme leader of the Cross Church, Pope Nero II, and the commander of the whole army, Hoan Lisen, it is really a little scary, these two people are the leaders of the Cross Church.
Al's status in the Cross Church is just an ordinary nun, nothing more, and being placed in the Radiance of the Republic is equivalent to a literary soldier in a small village.
Just imagine, a small literary soldier is suddenly received by the generalissimo of the Republic and the supreme commander of the hawkish army, which must not be frightened to the point of weakness.
Of course, Al knew that Nero II and Huo Anlisen mainly wanted to meet Luo Wei, and it had nothing to do with her, but they were just related to her.
This also makes Al very entangled, to go along, a little cheeky, because he is a dispensable character, if you want to say not to go, this is another Pope's order, not to mention a supreme honor.
Lancelot saw the hesitation in Al's heart and smiled: "Don't be nervous, Pope Nero and Hoanlison are both believers in the Lord, just like you and me." ”
Lancelot's friendly smile dispelled Al's concerns.
Luo was still a little strange, to be honest, he didn't think that it was such a great feat, that he would be received by the Pope? It's unimaginable!
At least in Republican Radiance, if you defeat a squad of Wilderness Evolvers, let alone be received by the Generalissimo, the head of the local military district will not give you a second look.
If not for any deeper meaning, it can only be said that the leaders of the Cross Church are too approachable.
However, Luo Wei didn't think much about it, he felt that it might be the reason why the incident happened during Double Holy Week, and the church wanted to set an example or something with this incident, not to mention that this was also a capital worth taking out for him in the future, so why not do it.
After the repairs, Locho and El followed the knights back into the Vatican.
The news of the attack on the small town also reached the Vatican, and the festive atmosphere of the original Double Holy Week was much darker, many people hung white mourning flags, and others gathered on both sides of the road, watching the marching knight troops talk to each other and discuss the matter.
Al was riding the same horse with Luo Wei at this time, she had not changed from her previous mood, and she still had some self-blame, at this time, she saw that everyone looked at her intentionally or unintentionally, and turned their heads and ears, unconsciously thinking that she was blaming herself.
Just as Al lowered his head uncomfortably, trying to avoid those gazes, he suddenly felt the outstretched arms of Luo Wei behind him, grabbing the reins in front of her, and at the same time gently protecting her body in his arms, blocking those gazes.
Although Luo Wei didn't say anything, this action dispelled the sadness and chill in Al's heart, and made her feel a long-lost warmth...
