The Knights Templar led by the Holy Radiant Knight Carvalo were wiped out in the jade mines, the Silver Knights sacrificed 59 people, and the ultra-high battle loss ratio shocked the mainland, and the high-level leaders of the Holy Edge Church collectively lost their voices, not because of fear, but because of anger and shame.
The name of the pioneer knight Charlie Pavel spread throughout the aristocratic circles of the thousand-year-old empire, and for a time became a hot topic of discussion among many nobles, some people thought that he was too ruthless to accept any prisoners of war, which is relatively rare in the history of aristocratic warfare, unless it is the two sides who have formed a feud.
Then, many of Charlie's black materials in the past were dug up, "Henice's biggest gentleman", "the child who was disliked by his father", "the first only son who was deprived of inheritance", and many grotesque titles were installed on Charlie's head.
The Silver Knights managed to break away from the image of the city defense army and was recognized as a qualified combat corps, but its combat effectiveness was still a mystery, because it could compete with the Templars in such an exaggerated battle loss ratio, people were more willing to believe that it was a conspiracy of some high-ranking figure in the Millennium Empire, and this conspiracy was faintly pointed to the Prince of Wales.
It's just that a new question has arisen, the Prince of Wales does not have a deep grudge against the church, and now that the situation in the country is so complicated, why should he offend the Church of the Holy Blade at this time?
"Charlie, you've got a problem for me!" The graceful and elegant Prince of Wales appeared in the magic mirror, standing quietly in front of Charlie, he did not show any emotion, but he also made people feel the pressure on his face.
Charlie asked, "Is it because I single-handedly wiped out Carvalro's troops?"
"Yes!" the Prince of Wales nodded, "If it were me, I would accept the surrender of the other party, and even take the initiative to surrender, and then, take these captives hostage and negotiate with the church."
In fact, as long as you win this war, it doesn't make sense to win more or less, you killed more than 800 Templars today, you can't shake the foundation of the Church at all, the only thing that damages is their face, especially in front of the entire continent.
Therefore, if you won this war, you won a few scenes for the thousand-year-old empire, and the thousand-year-old nobles at the core level would thank you for your efforts.
However, you didn't leave any prisoners of war, we don't know how to negotiate with the church, and now there is no unity of opinion within the church, of course, as your suzerain, I bear a lot of pressure!"
Charlie sighed and explained, "Your Royal Highness, I know that when I fight like this, I will encounter many problems, but I still want to explain.
First of all, before the war, Qian Qi revealed to me some of His Highness Ryan's thoughts, and he said that now is a very critical and delicate moment, and he has no way to support me in a clear position, so he can only give some support in terms of equipment and resources.
Secondly, when it comes to the comparison of our combat power with Carvalro, Carvalro himself is a level 17 powerhouse, and he brought 800 Templars and 36 priests, it is no exaggeration to say that this lineup is enough to fight against the main battle corps of 2,000 people in the empire, right?!
However, our Silver Knights were originally a city defense army, with only 500 official members, and only recently expanded the number to a thousand people, half of whom were rookies with little combat experience.
In the face of such a disparity in power, do we dare not go all out?!"
The Prince of Wales frowned slightly and asked, "Then how did you win?
Charlie said eloquently: "The jade mine is our territory, after the destruction of the Blue Eagle Knights, we are preparing to rebuild the mine in the form of a military town, where we are carefully prepared, no matter who the opponent is, as long as they choose the battlefield there, they will be hit by these targeted arrangements."
Then, I had Cavalro dragged down and instantly killed the 36-man priesthood before I took control of the battlefield.
However, to that extent, Carvalo was already insane, he could not accept the fact that the Priesthood was destroyed, and he could not bear the responsibility, and under various pressures, he made the decision to fight to the death.
In the end, we ended up in this situation. ”
The Prince of Wales knew that the battle was not as simple as Charlie had said, but he believed that Charlie was not lying on some key points and that his statement was reasonable.
The Prince of Wales thought for a moment and said: "Actually, there is another way, which is to exchange self-bloodletting for the tolerance of the church, they just want to win a beautiful war, and they will not kill them all, after all, you are the master of an important port city in the thousand-year-old empire, and you bear the name of my knight." ”
Charlie shook his head and said firmly: "But that requires me to give up at least half of the Silver Knights, as a sacrifice to the church, they are the armed forces left to me by my father, and in the family inheritance dispute, choose to side with me, I will definitely not give up on them!"
The Prince of Wales sighed, probably understanding Charlie's position, he stopped talking, and Charlie remained silent at the right time, quietly waiting for the prince's decision.
Time passed in silence between the two, and the cost of ultra-long-distance communication was quite high, and every breath that the other party saw was worth more than gold, but the prince did not choose to disconnect the communication, and Charlie did not dare to take the initiative to turn it off.
After a long time, the Prince of Wales said in a deep voice: "Since you are the knight of my family, of course I can't let you bear the pressure of the church alone, I will mediate from it, but I also need you to cooperate with my actions."
I can't find someone over there to lobby, and you continue to irritate the church with your arrogant words in Haynes, the church attaches great importance to superficial things, and they can fight a national war that lasts for decades for the sake of face, and you look through the history books of jihad, and such examples are not uncommon. ”
Hearing this, Charlie's mood was relieved, and he was also very grateful to this noble and elegant prince, He really has a generous mind and a strong sense of responsibility.
Charlie smiled: "I will ask my spokesperson to preach the loyalty and bravery of the Holy Radiance Knight Carvalro, who fought for the glory of the Holy Religion, and in this life, it is the glory of my life to be able to fight such a powerful and charismatic knight!"
In addition, the heroic and unyielding strength of the Knights Templar is also impressive, I have never seen such a strong-willed knightly order, even if they fought to the last soldier, they did not give up the glory of knighthood, not a single deserter, not a single surrenderer, such an opponent is admirable!
"You little fellow!" the Prince of Wales laughed, muttered, and then said in a solemn voice, "Don't take the church for fools, can't they guess this little cleverness?"
The first time you went to the church for heresy was because you transformed a god crest, which is actually nothing, and even I heard that there are some old people in the church who appreciate you more, and they still have some ideas of love.
However, after this battle, you have formed some grudges with the church, especially the killing of the Holy Radiant Knight Carvalo and the High Priest Ryan, one is one of the three Holy Radiant Knights, and the other is a very potential priest with a good background and high hopes from the theocratic family.
You have offended many forces of the Church, and you will suffer some hardships in the future, and you will even be targeted by the Inquisition! They will use any means against you!"
Inquisition?!
Charlie grabbed a name he had never heard of before and asked, "What kind of institution is that?"
"That's the darkest organization of the church, the source of all sins, the deepest sins of the church are related to this organization, you don't need to know too much, it's not a good thing, it's just that you have to keep an eye on your own safety. ”
Charlie bowed and said sincerely: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for the reminder, I understand." ”
Charlie paused, and then said, "I think I'd better go and give a speech at the Council of Nobles to show respect for the church!"
The Prince of Wales ignored Charlie's tricks and said: "You fought so hard in this battle, it is estimated that no one in the empire will trouble you for the time being, you should be idle, if you have time, come to Raphael City to get together, don't forget all the old classmates in the past." ”
I'm afraid this sentence was said for Qianxue!
Charlie smiled and said, "Okay, I'll finish my business, and I'll go to Raphael City to listen to the teachings of His Royal Highness." ”
