Seeing Quist turn around, the knights who came from behind all stood still, their armor polished, and they were not deterred by any enemy. Goth knights would never do anything that would undermine the dignity of a knight, and even if they lost their horses, their strong bodies would allow them to fight all their formidable opponents on the ground in full-body armor. But now, here, these knights, who were well-armed and fearsome armor-piercing mallets at hand, quickly put back their long swords in their hands.

In 962, Otto I of the Holy Roman Empire used powerful force to force the pope to crown him has become history, and now in Europe, with the effect of the indulgence, the two major orders of knights owned by the Holy See punish the knights, and the Knights of the Holy Crown are setting up a "strong" symbol in Western Europe. The Clergy, who follow behind the Knights and make a huge difference in every battle, are also a formidable deterrent. Behind the Knights of the Church, there is the support of the Clergy, and the combined power of the two is terrifying. And the Knights of the Holy Roman Empire, who are fighting against them, have begun to have a complete disadvantage.

A large number of mages were killed in the Atonement, and the rest of the mages were concerned about the hysteria of the whole of Europe, and they had largely disappeared into the mountains.

In this way, the Knights of the Holy See have the Priesthood to provide divine support, and these knights themselves can use a certain amount of divine magic. Their opponents, whether they were Burgundian hoplites or Gothic knights of the Holy Roman Empire, were now vulnerable.

These local princes or the Emperor's knights did not have mages or clerics to provide magical support, nor could they use any magical ...... themselves. This is the most headache for the local princes, and the knights who can use the magic must be devout to the Lord. A knight who is devout to the Lord will certainly not challenge the Lord. It will not attack the Knight of Punishment and the Knight of the Holy Crown. But a knight without divine skills wants to fight against a Holy See Order with divine skills. There is no other way than to fill it with human lives.

In fact, at the point of the Knight of the Holy Crown, if you cooperate with a high-ranking priest, even if you fill it with human lives, you can't solve the problem.

The armor of the Knights of the Holy Crown has been permanently blessed by those high-ranking clerics, and it is lighter and stronger, even the Gothic Knights with a large number of armor-piercing weapons have a headache for the armor of the Knights of the Holy Crown. In terms of combat effectiveness, it cannot be compared.

Therefore. When the goth knights, who were arrogant and wanted to stab him in the back, saw Quest's true face, they immediately restrained their horses and did not dare to go on. They may not be afraid of Quister alone, but they can't afford to take on the whole of the Holy See. What's more, Quist himself is the captain of the Knights of the Holy Crown stationed at the Speyer Monastery, and his strength can be said to be completely superior to these Gothic knights.

People can be fearless of death, as long as they know that weishenme is dead. If even the meaning of death is not clear, then this kind of death is no different from stupidity. Obviously, the Gothic knights were not stupid, the best of the Saxon and Frankish nobles. He is equally good at judging the situation and being distracted.

Quist stood there, the wind blowing his long golden hair. And that thin linen shirt. The knight captain didn't activate the divine arts, as he had said to his men before, he was deeply experiencing this suffering. Even so, as he stood motionless, the whole world seemed to be filled with his body, and in the glow of the setting sun, his back was more like two turbulent wings of brilliance.

As Quist stood in the middle of the road without saying a word, the knights, along with the cars behind them, had to stop. Behind Quist, the brown-haired boy seemed to be unaware of what was going on behind him, and walked alone and hard towards the convent. A little behind him, the knights of the Holy Crown were still chanting chants in a low voice, the scene was sad and spectacular.

A Goth knight rushed up from the front of the group, as if to shout a shout, but upon seeing Quist's, the Goth knight immediately stopped his horse like the others. The knight then opened his visor and whispered, "Lord Quist, this is not something you should do to hinder the Emperor's advance. ”

Quister nodded and said, "I know." ”

"You should get out of the way."

"I know."

Quist said this, but still did not move, and even slammed the big sword in his hand into the ground, holding the sword with both hands, and looked at each other coldly. On his great sword, the words "Lord has given me courage" are shining. whereas

"Are you trying to assassinate the Emperor?"

Quister turned a deaf ear to this threat from the Gothic Knights, and he even bowed his head and closed his eyes in prayer.

The Goth Knight frowned as the team of the Holy Crown Knight in front of him continued to move slowly, and even saw the brown-haired boy at the front of the group.

At the same time as seeing the back of little Fryman, the Gothic knight was suddenly stunned and whispered, "Fryman? Little Fryman? He's alive? ”

Quister looked up at the other and said, "Yes, he's still alive." Berktu, the Fleman lord is still alive. ”

The Gothic Knight looked at Quist again and asked, "Because of this little lord, you are actually standing here alone to block the Emperor's advance?" Have you been deceived by the devil? That little Flemann was a notoriously crook in Munich, a scoundrel, and his existence was nothing short of a disgrace to the nobility and a blasphemy against the Lord. You should get out of the way now, let's catch that bastard and try him, and I believe that burning him at the stake is the best way out for him. ”

Quister's face was full of sarcasm, and he stared at the other and said, "Oh, for the first time I've heard that liars and scoundrels are a disgrace to the nobility, and I always thought it was the tradition of the nobility. If the actions of Lord Flemann could have put him on the stake, how many of the entire Saxon nobility could not be burned at the stake? ”

The Gothic knight named Paktu paused for a moment and whispered, "Listen, Captain Quist, I hope you will get out of the way at once, little Fryman is involved in a number of death lawsuits in Munich, and there are witnesses who have been involved in some filthy acts, and we have evidence that he is an apprentice of magic." This is a very serious matter, and if you are not in a position to participate, we can do it in your place. ”

The sneer on Quist's face grew stronger and stronger, and he looked at Paktu and said, "Sure enough, it's a standard Saxon nobleman, a lie can be told at any time, and as a high-ranking noble knight, the stench of your body makes me sick even if I am here." I wonder, are you here for your Emperor, or for the sake of killing Lord Fryman? ”

The young man named Paktu froze slightly, the expression on his face became a little hideous, and he said, "Yes, I have come for the emperor, and I have also come for justice. That little Fleman is a complete liar, and you let this liar go unchecked, and even become an accomplice of this liar, blocking the Emperor's way. What a terrible thing to do, Captain Quist, and you have to pay for your actions. ”

"Is the so-called price to kill me?"

Quister suddenly drew his great sword from the ground, and with his whispered chanting, a large amount of armor flew up on the horses not far behind him. Like a large, invisible hand, these armors were automatically worn on the captain's body without the help of others. The sound of the "click" of the first page closing made the knight's face change greatly, and he even subconsciously turned his horse back and retreated, full of fear for Quest's cold eyes and the big sword in his hand, which was getting brighter and brighter.

The knights behind Xiao Yan also sensed this change, and for the saber rattling that suddenly became tense below, these knights of the Holy Crown stopped chanting one after another, and as they chanted, those armors began to automatically put on their bodies one by one.

Xiao Yan paused and looked at the costume changes of these knights, and it must be admitted that these knights and some fighters have a "saint", and this kind of costume change is also very similar.

Following the gaze of those knights, Xiao Yan glanced back, and when he saw the young man named Paktu, Xiao Yan's heartbeat suddenly stopped. Little Fleman's will, which was suppressed by him, seemed to be saying something, in short, this feeling made Xiao Yan very uncomfortable. He looked at the gothic knights and suddenly asked, "That's the emperor?" ”

"Yes, Lord Fryman, that's the Emperor's car."

"I seem to know the knight."

"Paktu, the suitor of the fourth sister of the present emperor, comes from the county of Volcarbin in Saxony."

Xiao Yan nodded slightly, and suddenly remembered an important question in his mind, and asked in a low voice: "I forgot the real time because I listened to that voice, knight, tell me, what year is this year?" ”

"1001, Your Excellency."

"The Emperor just returned from Italy, didn't he?"

Otto III, the current Holy Emperor, supported two popes, Gregory V and Sylvester II. On May 21, 996, Gregory V crowned Otto III, and since then, the king of East Francia, emperor of the Holy Empire, has remained in Italy. It was not until 1001 that Italy was evacuated due to the unrest of the Roman citizens.

Xiao Yan had read some detailed written information about Sylvester II in the college library, and he had some impressions of Otto III, knowing that the emperor was in poor health and was more suited to the Mediterranean climate than to the cold Magdeburg.

"How can you be disrespectful to the Lord for a long time?"

Xiao Yan said this, without looking back, and started on the road again.

As a god, his prophecy will make the light in him shine even brighter.

Otto III would die in the spring of 1002, and it was already November 1001, less than 3 months after Otto III's death. (To be continued......)
