22. The cruelty of war

Just when Li Kuan felt funny, there was also a loud noise outside the Zhongcheng Gate. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

With the earth-shattering shouts of the Muslims, needless to say, those present also understood that the Midtown was breached by the male lord Saladin when civil strife broke out.

Seeing this, the Crusader Assassins rioted for a while, and retreated from the battle in the direction of the palace.

No one missed the Jerusalem soldiers who were about to be slaughtered, and they didn't pay attention to Li Kuan, who suddenly appeared.

In the context of war, the strength of individuals is so weak, no one will believe that this infighting is over.

However, it was the veterans who were most disappointed, although when they carried out the escape route, everyone had already expected Jerusalem to be breached.

But the day came so quickly that he still couldn't react.

"Bishop, Midtown is broken, too." The veteran lowered the knife in his hand and said lonely.

Li Kuan looked at the Muslim soldiers who were swarming in the distance, touched his nose, and sighed twice.

As a guest who has only been here for a few days and is not familiar with the environment.

What Li Kuan lost was only the materials he brought this time, and he did not have any feelings for Jerusalem as an native.

He couldn't feel the sadness of the smoke and the smell of blood in the air, nor did he feel the natives' mentality of using him as a lifesaver in survival.

Just like Li Kuan still doesn't know what the name of this man who already has the Holy Light Seed is, it's just that the veteran veteran is calling like this.

But I've never eaten pork, haven't you ever seen a pig run? Li Kuan patted the broad waist of this standard European warrior (the child is not tall enough) and said, "It's a big deal to start all over again, as long as your majesty doesn't die, you have a chance to start over." ”

At this time, Tom Riddle's voice came from the key in Li Kuan's pocket.

"Ah Kuan, Ah Kuan? Can you hear me? ”

"Clear, Godfather." Li Kuan said to the doorkey.

"That's good, I saw a fire in the city, and I thought something had happened to you."

"The gates of Midtown are broken, and Muslim soldiers are pouring into Midtown."

The voice on the other side paused, "That's not good news. ”

"Ah, we're not going to fight hard." Li Kuan smiled and put away the doorkey.

The veteran looked at the door key in Li Kuan's hand in amazement and asked in surprise, "Could it be that the two-headed monster was sealed into the key by the bishop?" ”

Two-Headed Monster ...... Li Kuan glanced at the veteran and said, "No." ”

If Tom Riddle's Godfather knew that the veteran said he was a two-headed monster, he would definitely chop him into meat puree and feed him to the dogs, although he had some changes, it was impossible to change the fact that Tom Riddle's Godfather was once the Dark Lord.

The fighting continued, albeit in a pattern of Jerusalem soldiers fleeing, Crusader Assassins defending the city, and Muslim soldiers besieging the city.

And the people in the upper part of Jerusalem, in total chaos, fled from some unknown place with their own food and valuables. They are often fat sheep in the eyes of several parties, and they can make a lot of money as long as they catch them.

Considering the severe imbalance between men and women in the Middle Ages, upper-class families with female dependents were often the most sought-after goods.

When they are caught, they will kill all the men and snatch all the women.

This blatant encroachment is not any more restrained because it is because of the Holy City, but only because of it.

Human nature becomes very fragile in war, and no one knows what the next second will be like in the world.

Li Kuan watched as the Jerusalem soldiers in the ranks of the veterans had endured for a short time, and after a short period of patience, they also started to rob the wealth of these masses and put everything into their packages.

Although the veterans stopped them from killing and robbing people, they did not stop them from amassing their wealth. Although the banner was not to leave a penny for the Muslim army and not a penny for the Crusaders, in Li Kuan's view, this could be all hooliganism.

But Li Kuan also knows that the world is as black as a crow. If they were not allowed to gather their wealth in war, in the Middle Ages the army lost its vitality.

"Let the people who have handed over their belongings follow the line, and the soldiers cannot do anything to the women." Li Kuan finally said to the veteran that these were the only things he could do.

Soon, those upper-class people who had been robbed of their finances by their own army and looked like they were going to die heard that they could get shelter, and immediately forgot about the unpleasant scene just now.

More than half an hour passed like this, and Baldwin IV, dressed in red blood, led his sister and carried a large bag of coins on his back, and returned with a large group of people.

"Little Bishop, the mission has been accomplished. We left the city. Baldwin IV said to Li Kuan in a slightly brisk tone.

He didn't notice that his tone had returned to when he was in high spirits, more like a king than a believer.

Li Kuan nodded, didn't say anything, and took the lead in the direction of the Holy Light Church.

Along the way, Baldwin IV chattered to the veterans about what he had seen and heard, and after more than a decade of being king, he had not known his kingdom as well as he did today.

He even fantasized that he had returned to the holy city of Jerusalem with his army from the new, driving the Muslims and the Crusaders out of the city and restoring the glory of the Lord.

I don't know what he encountered along the way, becoming so confident. But after the veteran swept Li Kuan's figure very embarrassed, he chose to shut up.

After repelling several waves of greedy Muslim soldiers, the group finally reached the Church of the Light.

The blood-stained road outside the ruined church is more hellish than the rest of the city, and even murderous Muslims dare not enter it.

Under the manifestation of this phenomenon, a group of people in the upper class of the district hid here with their families, and after Li Kuan and his party came, they angrily scolded them to leave.

"Teach them to be human beings, now is not what it used to be, they can blackmail me in various names." Baldwin IV said to the old soldier.

Soon the upper class of people hiding here were in the midst of a stick and their money was confiscated.

He changed, Baldwin IV changed. He was transformed as he saw his country in ruins and his people trampled and injured in the flames of war.

The young leper king in the movie, who holds peace and mercy, fills his soul with cruelty and greed.

This was evident from the fact that Baldwin IV's belief in the Holy Light had fallen into negative numbers.

Therefore, there are only two paths in front of Li Kuan now: first, to understand the reasons for Baldwin IV's change. Second, another man was chosen to be king of the Kingdom of Jerusalem and Baldwin IV was abolished.
