Volume 2 Wild Ambition Chapter 57 Rainy Night Confrontation

No, the Knight Captain Kiro just revealed the origin of these invaders—wasn't it said that they were assigned by Sathenam, the head of the Knights of the Church? Avi pondered in his heart that the information he had heard was rather asymmetrical.

The expression of the second prince of Amso did not look like there was an army attacking him, but he looked at everyone very calmly.

"Second Prince, I don't know if I am allowed to go to the Pope's residence..."

Your Pope is already asleep, and no one can disturb him, so you better leave quickly. Ansu said this, and the guards behind him stared at the knight chief Kiro.

The expression on Kiro's face was ugly, and when he saw that the second prince of the Kingdom of Salins was so resolute, he gritted his teeth, and then shouted to the knight behind him: "You guys, go and see if the switch of that castle can be opened, and if not, contact the craftsmen through the underground passage immediately! And it is reported that those invaders of unknown origin have been identified as spies of the Empire!"

Avi and Keth looked at the formation of the prince's guard, they knew that the five of them had no chance to go up, and now they had to go back first, and then pray to Fed and Ayana not to have an accident. If they were really in the castle and were treated as invaders, they would be in a very dangerous situation right now.

Ansel walked to the upper floor, and except for the captain of the guard, Chedy, who followed him, the other guards all stood at the staircase that passed from the upper floor, watching the Potato Mercenary Regiment and the Knights vigilantly.

Kiro took his subordinates and walked back along the same path, and the five members of the potato mercenary group also followed, but this time the knight chief didn't even say a word.

When everyone returned to the outside of the hut, they found that the torrential rain had become less heavy, but to everyone's surprise, the signal smoke on the roof of the castle had changed color—— Avi first noticed that the original pure white signal smoke had turned into a light yellow, which was mixed with the night, which was not very obvious, but it could still be distinguished by looking closely.

Knight Captain Kiro just glanced at it, and then left with his subordinates, without even saying a word to the group of potato mercenary groups.

"What do we do now?" Greif's cloak had been pierced by a harpoon, and the rain was running down the hole and onto his back, "Could it be that we are out of town to be a ranger?!"

"Of course there's no need, we've already completed our mission, and now the key is Deputy Head Fede and Captain Ayana," Marcus was actually a little worried about Matthews, and he didn't know where he had gone with the group of people who had torn up the mercenary group, "Why don't you go back to the hut first, maybe Deputy Head Fede and Ayana have already gone back, and I'll go find my brother." ”

Avi and Patrick both nodded, they looked at the military supervisor Kesi who was still standing in a daze, and they both persuaded her to go back first, not to get caught in the rain - although it is said that there is a hood to cover her hair, but if she stands for a long time, she will still get soaked in the rain.

Where the hell did the potato go?!Surrounded by Imperial troops, Koth was distressed, but she followed Greif and the others to the rented place.

When Prince Amsoil returned to his bedchamber, the Pope was sitting upright in a chair, looking in a good mood.

"Send away the knights of the church who came here," Ansoil asked Chedy to help him take off his coat and then casually threw it on a large soft bed, "Those guys actually destroyed the castle gates, it's really thoughtful, but with such a thoughtful plan, how could they only send such garbage mercenaries?"

The Pope touched his nose and said with some excitement, "That's because your men are powerful men, Prince," he said, pointing to the captain of the guard, Chedy, "like Captain Chedy, maybe he alone can wipe out all the invaders." ”

"The Pope has passed the award," Chedy half-crouched, looking humble in the face of the Pope's praise, "but there is one thing that puzzles me, when I was cleaning up the corpse just now, I found that there was one missing. ”

"One missing?" asked Amsoil and the Pope in unison.

"That's right, if I'm not mistaken, it was a little boy who I killed with a single blow. ”

"Could it be your servant?" asked Amsoil, looking at the Pope.

"Possibly. ”

Chedy didn't continue, he wasn't good at refuting his master, and the question he had just raised was also caused by his excitement after being complimented.

"By the way, you've already had the signal smoke changed," Ansoil said to Chedy, the captain of the guard who was crouching on the ground, "the yellow one, no mistake, right?"

"Yes, I don't know what the white smoke lit by the invaders means, but I've replaced my men with yellow smoke," Cheddy said, glancing to the right at the Pope, "General Guillermo must have withdrawn his troops and left in the direction of the homeland. ”

Amsoil nodded. It turned out that this night, it was originally the second prince who unilaterally wanted to cooperate with the outside world, attacked the Holy Light City at night, and took down the archbishop. Heavy winds and rain were also expected, and a few days ago there was a typhoon moving in this direction on the territory of the Kingdom of Salins, which is adjacent to the Papal States. The plan is that when the second prince and the pope take control of the city gates, let the tens of thousands of kingdom soldiers who stay outside the city rush in, and after the archbishop is eliminated, it will be the pope's world.

The Pope was also unaware of this plan, but when he heard about it, he immediately told Prince Amsoil that things were too hasty and that he was not prepared at all. Prince Anso didn't expect to rely on this pope and his personal guards, his elite guards of less than a hundred people were the elites he had "accumulated" over the years, after all, in the eyes of the people of the Kingdom of Salins, the knights of the church were just some monks who worshipped the gods, and their combat effectiveness was not very good.

But things didn't go well, and the mercenaries who suddenly invaded the castle from the top of the castle came quickly, and some of them came up from below, delaying Amme's plan.

"The person who attacked us this time must be the archbishop's man, who would have known that there was a secret ladder to connect to the underground palace?" "Amsoil had already let his men kill all the invaders just now, but those invaders were not caught, everyone fought to the death, I didn't expect such loyal mercenaries, and the prince later let a few guards climb down the ladder that went down.

"It's also possible that Captain Satnam, after all, I don't think the archbishop will dare to attack me yet. The Pope shook his head slightly, he did not dare to speak loudly in front of the second prince Amsex, and the relationship between the two began to take shape.

Amsoil nodded slightly, he slowly climbed into his bed, and then covered the quilt with a serious attitude, "Since things have progressed to this point, our army of Salins has to return to the border temporarily, we now control the fireworks of the castle, as long as the order is given, the people lurking outside the city will see the smoke signal, and my troops will be back here in an hour." ”

When the Pope saw that the prince was about to go to bed, he quickly stood up and bowed to the second prince Amsey, "Prince Amsey is right, I think it would be better to wait until the time of confrontation with the empire before acting, we have endured it for so many years..."

"It's you, I didn't put up with anything, okay, let's get out. ”

The Pope stepped out in a broken step, and even his body was facing Prince Amsol.

After the Pope left, Chedi asked softly: "Master, you have just arrived in the Holy Light City, and you have experienced the incident of the invaders just now, I don't know what time the prince wants to get up tomorrow..."

"It's the same as usual, six o'clock. ”

The archbishop was still consulting with Satnam about the military situation, but the report from Kiro had brought them all to a halt to what they were doing.

"You sent those people, didn't you? Why did you choose this day?" said Archbishop Arthur Auerbach, who had no idea of it, looked at his head with a straight face.

"Subordinate convicted!" Satnan immediately knelt down, and said nothing other than "subordinate convicted".

The archbishop slowly exhaled and said, "Originally, it was planned to make a move at a later time, although that Prince Amso has a close relationship with the Pope, but you should not choose to make a move when the messenger arrives, if you kill that bastard, we will also be in trouble." ”

Satnam remained silent, and even Kiro beside him bent down to his knees, fearing that the archbishop would reproach him—after all, his task was to see if the Pope was dead, and if he was not, he would have to make up for it.

"The most troublesome thing now is the army outside the city, most likely from the Kingdom of Salin," said Archbishop Arthur Auerbach, looking at the door of the tent, "but fortunately you are wrong." ”

At this time, the knight chief Riley ran in from outside the tent, his head was sweaty and rainy, and even the mud under his feet stepped into the camp tent, "Those troops are all withdrawn, we can't see which country it is at all!"

Everyone else who heard it knew in their hearts that Prince Amsul's so-called joint efforts from the Oguna Empire to seize the Holy Light City was nothing more than a lie, and it was very likely that those troops had followed Amsol. Sure enough, he was a vicious bastard, pretending to be an envoy to enter here, but leaving the army outside.

"By the way, is the Grand Duke's daughter alright?" the Archbishop turned to Quiro, who was kneeling on the ground.

"Rest assured bishop, she has gone back to her residence. ”

"Well, I'd really like to think about putting her under house arrest, lest she get into trouble when I confront the Pope. ”

When Kesi walked into the room, she suddenly sneezed, but she didn't expect someone to discuss the plot about her behind her back, and thought it was just a cold.

The others were a little disappointed that Fid and Ayana didn't return, but Marcus, who came back on his feet, brought two pieces of good news - the first was that his brother had been busy because "Talw" didn't have the key to open the underground passage, and the second was that they had not touched the corpses of the women from the papal guards who were cleaning the castle.

"Since Captain Ayana is fine, Fidel will be fine! I trust him!" said Kesi, who was at a low mood, to the others.
