Chapter 9: The Power to Crush the Times
Ten minutes later, King Charles led his army to the outside of St. Mayana's Cathedral.
At this time, the cathedral was heavily surrounded, and the outside was filled with troops of the same color as King Charles's command.
"Your Majesty!" As soon as Charles arrived with the cavalry, several generals greeted him.
"Barnes, what's going on?" Charlie didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly.
The named general hurriedly touched his chest with his hand, bowed down and replied: "Your Majesty, the yellow-clothed archbishop and the generals of the Holy See are all in the cathedral, and none of them have escaped!" ”
"Good!" Charlie smiled approvingly, turned over and dismounted, turned to another general who was dressed very non-mainstream, and asked, "Bill, have your people done it all?" ”
The general's eyebrows fluttered and he said, "Your Majesty, the rats have already eaten all the rat poison in their stomachs!" ”
"Well done!" Charlie patted him on the shoulder.
"However, Your Majesty, the reward promised in advance is not less at all!"
"You!" Charlie pointed at him with a smile and shook his head, "Don't worry! Not a single copper coin will be missing from you! ”
"That's great!" Mercenary leader Bill said excitedly.
Charlie ignored him, turned to General Barnes and ordered in a loud voice, "Knock this door open for me!" ”
"Yes! I am the king. Barnes nodded, and immediately ordered his men to bang the church door with their hammers.
They had planned it beforehand, so they had all the tools they needed.
A moment later, with a loud bang, the three-meter-high, one-foot-thick church gate collapsed!
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
The heavily armored soldiers swarmed in.
"Let's go!" King Charles beckoned to his generals and led the way to the church.
A few minutes later, a group of fat-brained fellows were tied up by the soldiers and escorted to King Charles and his generals.
"Charlie, you bastard, you're going to hell!" As soon as the yellow-clothed archbishop Morris arrived in front of Charlie, he shouted hoarsely.
Charlie pursed his lips, looked at the big fat man in front of him who was propped up in a bright yellow bishop's robe and said, "I don't know if I will go to hell, but today you are going to hell!" ”
"I am the most devout believer in the goddess, the yellow-clothed archbishop appointed by the Holy See, how can I go to hell?!"
"Don't think I don't know what you've done, God! Embezzling church funds, keeping mistresses, abusing children, molesting nuns, and people like you still want to go to heaven? Stop dreaming! ”
After being exposed, Archbishop Morris suddenly blushed, and his confidence became a little insufficient, "Bastard, do you know what will happen if you do this?" The Holy See will definitely punish you, and the surrounding countries will go to war against you! ”
"So what?" Charlie raised his eyebrows, then looked around at the soldiers around him, and asked loudly: "If the Holy See issued an excommunication order against Lone, will you betray Lone?!" ”
"Never!" The surrounding soldiers replied without hesitation, and even the mercenary leader Bill and his men joined in.
"Do you hear that?" Charlie turned to Morris.
"How so?" Morris looked at the soldiers in alarm.
"Hmph." Charlie sneered disdainfully, and shouted to the soldiers again: "Tell this god stick what you are fighting for!" ”
"The !! of the country and the people"
The soldiers shouted in unison.
Charlie drew his sword and stabbed Maurice in the stomach!
"From this day forward, the lonely nation will never again fight for inexplicable reasons! The lonely people will never shed their blood and sacrifice for the ambitions of some people again! They want to be the masters of the country and live freely! He looked into Morris's wide-eyed eyes and said categorically.
Brush!
The sword was drawn, and Maurice's body fell to the ground with a bang! His eyes were wide open to death, as if he could not believe it all.
With a thud, one of the captives suddenly fell to his knees!
"My king, I brought you back from the Eastern Continent to inherit the throne, you can't kill me!" The man cried.
Charlie glanced at him and said lightly: "Count Bowen, thank you very much for coming to pick me up." So be it, I'll take care of your little one. ”
"You little bastard with a wolf's heart!" Count Bowen cursed through gritted teeth.
Charlie waved his hand, and immediately a soldier stepped forward and knocked Count Bowen down, slashing his head with a sword.
Charlie didn't look at the corpse more.
Ten years ago, the royal family of Andris was wiped out in a terrible war, and after some bargaining, various forces within the kingdom finally decided to send Bowen, who was only a viscount at the time, to the Eastern Continent to find Charlie and his mother, intending to inherit the throne as the illegitimate son of the previous king. At that time, Charlie's mother had died for many years, and he followed his teacher Shangguan Zhige for his life.
After Bowen found him, Charlie, who had spent sixteen unhappy years in Seris, decided to return to China to succeed him, and Shangguan Zhige was reluctant to love his apprentice, so he followed him to the Western Continent.
This is how Charles became the sixty-third king of the Andris Kingdom.
It's just that although he was brought back to the throne by Bowen, the Holy See faction to which Bowen and the other captured generals belonged was undoubtedly a huge obstacle in his way forward, and now there were their armies outside the royal capital, among which the royal war mage corps was in their hands.
Therefore, as a king and commander, he can't have the slightest bit of a woman's kindness, and he must be ruthless to uproot the other party's power! Even if it is ungrateful!
"Kill clean!" He ordered.
The rest of the captured noble generals were also immediately knocked down and beheaded.
These guys died unjustly, they were drugged by Bill's men for lunch just now, and they couldn't use either fighting spirit or magic, and their bodies were still paralyzed like mud, and they didn't even have the strength to resist.
"Your Majesty, what now?" General Barnes stepped forward and asked.
Charlie glanced at him and said with burning eyes: "According to the original plan, while the opponent's army is leaderless, go out of the city and destroy them with one blow!" ”
"Got it!" General Barnes didn't say much, turned and walked out of the church, where he now had to mobilize his troops in order to break the enemy in the field.
"Your Majesty, what about the other clergy?" Bill frowned and asked, you can't kill them all, right?
Although he was a deserter and a horse bandit, he once swore that he would never fight for those vain things again in his life, but he still couldn't kill so many clergy in one go.
"How is that possible?" Charlie smiled bitterly, "Put it in prison first, and then wait until the rebels outside the city are resolved." He didn't want the people to completely disbelieve in religion, but he just wanted to cut off the claws of religion that stretched out to the world. Of course, this is the long-term goal, and the short-term goal is to make religion lose its influence on national politics so that it can be reformed against them.
Bill smiled and nodded, relieved that his employer was not a tyrant who killed innocents.
After taking care of the affairs of the church, King Charles and his generals went out of the church and got on their horses. Go straight to the West City Gate.
The main camp of the Holy See army was just outside the West City.
"Teacher, is there any movement of the enemy army?"
As soon as he came to the city gate, Charlie asked Shangguan Zhige, who had already arrived at the west gate in advance according to the plan.
"Your Majesty, rest assured!" Shangguan Lao'er smiled sinisterly, "They are still in the dark. ”
"Great!" Charlie clapped his palms and said with great ambition: "When General Barnes arrives with the cavalry corps, we will go out of the city and set camp!" ”
"Shall we?"
When Shangguan Zhige and the other generals heard this, they were immediately shocked, and then hurriedly admonished:
"Your Majesty, the son of a daughter can't sit down, you can't go!"
"That's right! Lord, we are enough to defeat them! ”
"Your Majesty, your new formation is too risky!"
"Your Majesty, no, I'll do it for you! As long as you pay! ”
The green veins on King Charles' head jumped, and he shouted angrily, "Enough! ”
The crowd was immediately silent.
"The new army was trained by a single hand, and the new military formation tactics were also formulated by a lonely, where is the reason why Lone, the initiator, does not go into battle, but only lets his soldiers take risks? Let me tell you, Lone not only has to fight, but also has to be in the first row of the battle formation! ”
The generals looked at each other, and their faces were full of embarrassment.
They knew their king very well, and he made a decision that would not bring back ten oxen. But the problem is that it's in the first row of that kind of battle formation, which is too dangerous! If the king has three longs and two shorts, what about those who swear to follow him?
"Wang Shang......" Shangguan Zhige was still waiting to be persuaded again, but at this time, there was a dull sound of iron hooves shaking the ground on the street behind them.
"Boom !!"
Unlike the rapid and chaotic sound of horses' hooves in ordinary cavalry groups, this cavalry corps is composed of 5,000 iron horsemen, but the sound of hooves is not chaotic, as if it were a sophisticated machine, maintaining a breathtaking consistency!
Every time they took a step forward, they could make a loud noise like thunder, which shook people's ear drums!
"O my goddess! This is......? In the houses on both sides of the street, the residents watched through the cracks in the doors as they watched the passing cavalry formation, their eyes wide in horror.
"This is enough power to crush this dark age!" King Charles said with a smile, his tone full of confidence.
"My soldiers!" King Charles shouted with open arms to the knights with spears in their arms, covered in black armor and mounted.
"My king!"
The cavalry came to a neat halt in front of King Charles, and everyone responded in unison. Five thousand strong men shouted together, almost tearing the sky!
"The !! who has always been by your side and fought side by side with you" King Charles raised his sword and declared with great firmness.
"Until men are given to men, and to God what is God!!" ――
For a week in a row, the code word was updated with a high temperature of more than 37 degrees, and I ask you to reward me with a reward or a recommendation ticket, thank you very much!
