18. Where do you want to go?

Hunger and panic spread throughout the holy city of Jerusalem, and even the food distributed by the Church of the Light went from a piece of dry food to a quarter of a piece of dry food. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

The Muslim army outside the city seems to have noticed this strange atmosphere, and instead of attacking the holy city in a big way, they gradually searched for possible traps.

This relieved both the remaining soldiers in Jerusalem and the Assassins who were secretly guarding the soldiers and civilians.

After the first week of the plan, Baldwin IV and the old Catholic man, who had been sleeping for a long time, woke up from their slumber.

They were in a trance, and the physical wounds were less painful than the mental wounds.

The church was occupied, the traitor took his place, and he was declared dead, this is the status quo of the old Catholic man.

The kingdom was invaded, the guards were in the hands of others, and even his dearest sister was imprisoned and could not come out, which was the situation of Baldwin IV.

"So, is it really Charlie the Lionheart?" Li Kuan and Tom Riddle's godfather sat on the bench and looked at the two people lying on the bed with blank faces.

Baldwin IV turned to look at Li Kuan and said, "Since you have also guessed the reason, I have nothing to say, it is indeed Charlie the Lionheart, and those assassins told me this matter plainly.

It may be the last bit of kindness they sent out of pity for me that a king died in a conspiracy. ”

Godfather Tom Riddle sneered and said sarcastically, "Goodwill? Whoever can become an assassin must have a heart that is colder than the ice of a permafrost glacier!

The reason why they didn't kill you was to drag Kuan and me so that we didn't escape. The second is to witness that Ah Kuan has the ability to heal his injuries. ”

"Hah! So that's the case, I'm still too naΓ―ve. Baldwin IV smiled wryly and said, "From the beginning to the end, I just took control of Jerusalem for granted, but never thought about whether I really controlled him. ”

Being assassinated and betrayed was a blow to Baldwin IV, and if it was the original king, he would never have mocked himself like this.

Li Kuan waited for Baldwin IV to finish laughing before he spoke, "This proposal may strike you as ridiculous and unbelievable. But I still have to ask you, Baldwin IV.

Suppose I give you a kingdom again, a healthy body. You still want to huddle in one place, passively accepting aggression and resistance...... Or take up the weapon in your hand and become an emperor who expands the territory. ”

Is there still a chance? Baldwin IV could not have imagined that this was true.

His country was shattered, and he was sheltered in the Church of Light, not knowing when the enemy would rush in and drag him out and cut off his head.

Maybe it's Charlie the Lionheart, or maybe Saladin, the Lord of Muslims.

No matter who it was, there was a faint sense of loss in his heart, because it meant that others would trample on his body and become a legend.

But if you really have this opportunity, will you still choose the path of peaceful life as before? A beautiful illusion turned into pieces under the iron heel of war.

"Is it hard to make a decision? I can give you a day. Li Kuan looked at Baldwin IV's contemplative face, shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you don't have a choice by then, you will lose this opportunity forever." ”

"Wait!" Baldwin IV swallowed his saliva, took off the golden mask that covered his face and threw it on the ground, and said with tears in his eyes, "I don't know if what you said is true, and I don't know how long I can live, but I still want to protect this country and its people, and I don't want to leave with regrets." ”

"Even if you give everything you have?" Li Kuan asked emphatically.

"Yes, I do."

Li Kuan smiled and said to Baldwin IV, "Okay, I say a word, you say a word." There should be no distractions in the heart, and the most devout faith in the Light should be maintained. ”

That smile made Godfather Tom Riddle and Professor Quirrell feel a little frightened, thinking that it was because of this oath that they had come here to become the ghosts they are now.

……

What is the Light? Godfather Tom Riddle and Professor Quirrell believe that the Light is a terrible product of its own mind. It has the most powerful energy in the world, and it is effortless to banish the effects of dark magic.

Baldwin IV believed that the Light was hope and protection, a source of strength that enabled him to emerge from failure.

The old Catholic man believed that the Holy Light was an evil thing, and that believing in the Holy Light meant betraying the faith, and that it was a shame to live.

And the veterans who have already mastered a little bit of the seed of holy light believe that the holy light is an obsession in their hearts and their yearning for a better life.

The wandering samurai, the hero of "Heavenly Dynasty", and the strongest blacksmith Berion, believes that the holy light is the perfection and yearning for all the good things in the world.

The Light in everyone's heart is different, but there is no doubt that they have all found their own kind of perseverance.

On the tenth night of the siege of the Muslims, a piece of news ignited a fire in their hearts.

The tunnel leading to a small hill outside the Holy City was finally broken through after ten days of sleepless labor!

This means that all the people of the Kingdom of Jerusalem have a way out of this city of lies, betrayal, and scheming.

After waiting for the trial to come out of the tunnel, Berion sighed and said, "Fortunately, the road from the middle city to the outside of the city is not too far, if you start digging from the upper city, or start digging from the palace, you may not be able to get through it in another month." ”

"In other words, it's been determined that you can escape?" Baldwin IV, who had regained his original appearance, said with a long sword on his shoulder.

"Yes, that's right." Barrion looked at the others and said, "But the tunnel can only allow two people to bend over. ”

"That's enough." Li Kuan clasped his hands and said, "Let the believers carry enough food and the seriously injured and wounded to move first, and then the old, weak, women and disabled civilians." Leave the prime of life who has combat effectiveness and can walk on their own, so as to finally increase the chances of survival. ”

"Don't forget, there are also princesses and treasures of the palace." Professor Quirrell reminded, "This is the money we need to rebuild our kingdom." ”

"Won't forget." Baldwin IV grasped the sword at his waist and said calmly, "I will not leave a son to King Lionheart or Saladin. ”

Li Kuan clapped his hands and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll assign a task." ”

Everyone turned their heads to look at Li Kuan, waiting for his orders, and even the old Catholic man who had been making trouble listened quietly.

"The old man and Berion are in charge of organizing the people to be taken out of Jerusalem, and you have two days, after the first lightning streaks across the night the next night. No matter how many people are left, it is essential to keep the passage flowing. The Assassins were not to be aware of this. ”

Berion took the cross sword in his hand and nodded in understanding, and the old Catholic man nodded reluctantly.

"Baldwin IV and retainers veterans. Your task is very important, to gather the loyal Jerusalem soldiers during these two days. The first lightning bolt hit the palace the next night.

After the second lightning bolt is lit, no matter how much money is taken, how much money is left. It is necessary to go out of the tunnel. Li Kuan turned to Baldwin IV and the veteran.

Baldwin IV and the veteran nodded, there was no pressure at all, and the two, who had long been reborn, were full of confidence in this task.

"Godfather Tom Riddle, Professor Quirrell......"

"We don't accept any assignments." Godfather Tom Riddle said, "I don't want to finish your mission and find you a cold corpse. ”

Li Kuan couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard his words and said, "Where do you want to go?" I need you and Professor Quirrell to transform a new portkey in the new camp, lock my location at all times, and pull me over as soon as you find out that I have the power to output it. ”

Well, Godfather Tom Riddle and Professor Quirrell listened to Li Kuan's arrangement, and they were very 'relieved' that Li Kuan had grown up.

"If one side is blocked by the assassins, immediately carry out Plan B......" Li Kuan said emphatically.

Plan B?
