CHAPTER XXIII

The black knight is naturally Roy.

He had already arrived when Saki had just entered the Sapphire Inn. Only outside watching Saki's performance and Joseph's response, it was not until the moment when Saki threatened to make a move that he broke in.

Upon entering, Roy gestured to Joseph. Just like the gesture he made when he met Joseph in the caravan.

From that moment on, Joseph knew that the boy named Roy was coming. Not only is he here, but he also brought with him the bandit army that recently shocked the city of Muni!

The bandit army is actually their own people?

This realization has already surprised Joseph. And when he saw the bandit army showing the battle ring, the expression on the faces of Saki and the others was like Miss Ant being raped by Mr. Elephant, and they almost laughed out of internal injuries.

At this moment, he finally let go of all his worries.

With such a force behind him, even if he was abandoned by Wallace, what was he afraid of?

What kind of background did the monk have, he didn't know. As for the impression of being an adult, he only maintained it after the last time he saw Medin City. As for Roy, he feels much closer. First, he knows each other's true identities, and second, the age of the other party also makes him feel a little bit safe.

And more importantly, through Roy's window, he was able to observe many things.

Ever since he met Roy, Joseph has learned about this commoner boy through different channels. During this time, the more Roy tossed around in the academy, the more excited he became in Medin City.

Philip of the Order of Red Leaves, Archduke Adolf of Lulian, and Miss Moya, who was terrifying at the mention of the Supervision Department...... These names constitute a world that dazzles a little priest at the bottom of the Holy See.

A demonic allegiance has tied him to this mysterious ship. He doesn't have much of the ability though. However, this does not mean that he is not ambitious. Having been immersed in the Holy See for many years, he has long understood the truth that even a pig can become a cardinal archbishop as long as the power behind him is strong enough.

From Wallace's patronage to the Wenger case, he has tasted the sweetness and understood what attitude he should use to express his loyalty.

Therefore. Whether it's against Moon or Sacchi, he grits his teeth.

And now, the one he did finally got the most perfect, even more than he expected!

Later, it became a game of Roy and Joseph flirting with Saki.

If it hadn't been for Sachi's trouble, today's meeting would have been a private conversation. But now, it has become a battle in full view. How to take advantage of such a situation, for Joseph and Roy, is something that can be figured out with just a touch of eyes.

Because. This was originally a ready-made script!

Bang!

The fist was imprinted on Sakhi's nose, blood splattering.

Saki's face, like a watermelon smashed by a stone, is no longer visible.

The black-clad priests were ruthless. They are veterans of execution, familiar with the most fragile and painful parts of the human body, so that they will not make a mistake with their eyes closed. Especially when they need to express themselves, they even show their whole body skills.

The fist protruding from the middle knuckle of the middle knuckle was fiercely defended by Saki at the vital point. At first, he could scream twice. Later, he couldn't even scream.

When Sachi's voice went low. The black-clad priests stopped. Kenneth turned to look at Joseph, who looked at Roy.

Roy nodded.

With a click, Kenneth wrung Saki's neck.

Saki is dead.

Mado's eyes were open, and he didn't blink.

Tonight was supposed to be the starting point for him to step up the ladder, and all the people who attacked him should have been dry bones under his feet. He should have sat in the lavishly decorated room of the Holy See in the West End. Drink the most expensive liquor and celebrate the victory. And these people should be thrown into a wagon like dead dogs and transported to the crematorium.

Saki didn't think there was anything wrong with that. This is a world of the jungle. As long as he can step on a step, he won't care about the life or death of these people!

But in less than half a prayer hour, it was reversed.

The prey becomes a predator. The script he wrote himself has also become someone else's drama.

This qiē was already doomed when he saw Joseph and the bandit commander hugging. Joseph understood, the damned bandit leader understood, and he himself understood.

They took away his script and revised it to be even more perfect.

In this script, there is no need to blame the bandit army anymore. Because the bandit army really appeared. There's no need to kill everyone in the Sapphire Inn anymore. Because they are the best witnesses to prove that he Saki died at the hands of a gang of bandits, from leaving Joseph suspected.

It's a perfect play.

The only difference is that the victim changed from Joseph, to himself. And tonight, he directed himself, and walked into this place of death step by step.

The last thing that was reflected in Saki's pupils was the faces of Kenneth, Evan, and a group of black-clad priests.

From the faces of these people, he saw resentment towards himself, but also fear and respect for Joseph. When the consciousness completely left, a thought froze in his mind.

Both themselves and these people in Bronn underestimated Joseph.

This white and chubby middle-aged man may really be just a sheep. But when there was a tiger standing behind him, he was even more terrifying than the most ferocious wolf!

And the reason why these priests are so unreservedly killing themselves is only because they are desperate to prove their reliability in the face of this secret they have just obtained.

A little fiery red, reflected in Saki's eyes.

The rising sun in the sky has jumped out of the horizon. Bring another new day in this troubled world

"I'll come over when I get your letter," Roy and Joseph stood on the porch of the inn's small building.

The sky is already getting brighter. The door of the inn, dozens of meters away, revealed a broken figure in the faint light.

Not far away, the bandits were counting the looted harvest. The strength of the knights of the Holy See in the Western District is not good, but the equipment is really good. In this world. Getting the spoils of war from the dead enemies was originally the main source of wealth for the knights.

The guards of the Holy See of Bronthshire and the black-clad priests helped out. Stripping off his armor and valuable jewelry, he immediately ran over and put it in the pile of the bandits' belongings. It's a little too much. As long as they get the approval of the bandit knights, or say a few words, these guys will laugh without eyes and teeth.

Although they are all their own henchmen, and they also get a lot of satisfaction from their increasingly awe-inspiring attitude. However, at this time, seeing their appearance, Joseph still felt a little blushing.

However, this is not to blame on the subordinates.

In the Holy See, a small county bishop is just a small person at the bottom. Moreover, Bolon County is only a rural part of the south. Compared with those big counties in the imperial capital, it is simply not in the stream.

When he himself saw the high-ranking knights of the bandit army, he couldn't wait to curry favor with him personally. What's more, these hillbilly subordinates who haven't seen much of the world?

Looking at these knights in front of him and listening to Roy's words, Joseph was grateful.

Compared with the secret monk who saw the head and the tail of the dragon, the young man in front of him had a sense of reality. He didn't know that the two men were the same person. He just felt that if he wanted to be trustworthy and dependent, the mysterious Monk Master was the best choice. And to deal with cooperation, Roy made him more relaxed.

But. Joseph wasn't so arrogant as to think he could stand on the same steps as Roy. In the face of this teenager, his attitude was respectful and humble.

"Master Roy. This was the name Joseph had heard from the bandit knights, and he called out very well, "I am embarrassed to have a little thing of mine and trouble you to run by yourself." ”

"Your Excellency said, you did a good job. Roy pulled his tiger skin to make a banner. It feels a little strange.

However, he knew very well that for a man like Joseph, his age and appearance were really not suitable to be a master who could be faithful to him. Opposite. A mysterious and powerful symbol, more appropriate. It would be better for him to continue to be in awe of the tantric monk in his mind.

As he spoke, Roy turned his head to Joseph and said, "What are you going to do with Wenger's matter?"

Although few people know about it, the feud between Roy and Wenger is no secret. All you need to know is Roy's previous experience with Bollabel and use a little brain to understand his attitude towards Arsene Wenger.

In Joseph's opinion, the Monk and Wenger may not have any enmity, but they are just going to be killed because of Roy's relationship. Knowing this, he naturally understood how to speak.

"I listen to you, young master," he turned his head to look in the direction of the cellar guarded by several black-clothed priests, and a fierce light flashed in his small eyes, "Otherwise, I'll kill him now!"

Joseph's intellect pleased Roy.

This kind of guy who has no bottom line and is good at slapping horses has always been the most loved subordinate. Although the big head now has hundreds of high-ranking knights under his command, there is not a single guy like Joseph.

Elves are by nature, and knights have the pride of knights. Their allegiance is never used for flattery. Even Old Grande is most convinced by Miss Malt, who is more ruthless than him in terms of money, and often reprimands this young master for spending money indiscriminately. It made Roy very faceless.

So, even though he knew that Joseph didn't think so, it sounded comfortable.

Of course, since the subordinates have said this, the wise superior will not be stupid enough to put the other party in an embarrassing situation. Besides, in the current situation, Wenger is still useful.

Roy shook his head and smiled slightly: "Kill him, you can't explain it in front of Wallace." ”

"Do you want to give him to Wallace and let him go?" Joseph straightened his chest and was filled with righteous indignation, "No, that guy has offended you, young master. Even if I try to be punished, I have to give you this breath. ”

Roy's smile on Joseph grew warmer. He waved his hand and said, "It's easy to kill him. However, there is no need for this now. Giving him to Wallace is a great achievement for you. Besides, now that there is Saki robbing people, Wenger's weight is even heavier. ”

Joseph fell silent.

He knows better than anyone else. Once tonight's events are exposed, the most angry will naturally be Wallace. Losing Arsene Wenger would mean losing one of his most important cards against the Lanriths. Wallace was only angry at Sacki and the group he represented who had taken the initiative to flatter the Lanris.

This incident is a sign that those guys are ready to move. Dare to break away from his control and take risks.

For Wallace, this is absolutely intolerable.

And if at this time, he found that he not only sabotaged Sachi's plot, but also loyally handed Wenger alive to her when he knew it was not good for him, then his status in his heart would immediately rise to the position of a confidant. Even if he handed Wenger over to the Lanris, he would do everything in his power to protect himself.

After all, such a loyal subordinate. If he still sells it, then his heart will be too cold. I don't know how many of my subordinates will feel chilled by this.

In this way, although my predicament cannot be said to be completely resolved, at least there will be no problem in a short period of time. You may also benefit from this.

But was that really what Roy really thought?

The benefits are all for himself, what can this young master get? To say that Roy is as honest and confused and easy to bully as he seems on the surface, Joseph is the first to disbelieve it. If you offend Wallace, you don't necessarily have anything, and if you offend this young master, I'm afraid that Joseph will look at the busy bandit knights and sweat a little.

Seeing Joseph's expression, Roy naturally understood what he was afraid of, and said, "Of course. I don't mean to leave it to him for nothing. If he did use this to join the Lanris, then we would be foolish. I think. When you meet Wallace, you can say a few more words. ”

"Oh?" said Joseph curiously, "what?"

Roy whispered a few words, and Joseph blinked and nodded frequently.

"All right," Roy said, "that's it. How to choose when the time comes. Let Wallace figure it out for himself. ”

Looking at Roy's smiling face, Joseph chewed on his words, and the more he chewed, the deeper the meaning. I wiped my forehead, and suddenly I found that I was sweating more

Seven o'clock in the morning.

Schilling had just sat down at the table and took a sip of milk when he was spoiled by a flamboyant Moon who rushed in.

"What did you say?" Schilling quietly looked at Moon who was sweating profusely, and only the hand holding the cup tightly and the green tendons on his forehead could see his anger at the moment.

Is Saki dead?Was he killed by robbers while going to ask for someone from Joseph?

Damn it. What the hell is going on!

"He didn't discuss this with me," Moon explained, "and I just received word that he had taken someone to the Sapphire Inn to find Joseph last night, but he was robbed by bandits. Because of the conflict with the bandits, he and the people he brought with him were killed. Dozens of people saw it with their own eyes. ”

"Bandits?" Schilling's voice almost popped out between his teeth.

"Yes, sir. It's the bandit group known as the bandit army. Recently, these guys have committed crimes one after another, not only have they eaten black and black, but they have also taken up the nests of many bandit groups, and I heard that even the robbery of the transport team of the Fifth Army may have been sat down. It's just daring. ”

Moon wiped his sweat and said, "I'm afraid Saki also wanted to show himself in front of you, but I didn't expect ......."

"I didn't expect that?!" Schilling erupted, roaring, and slammed over the breakfast table, "How many good things did I say to get Wallace's old fox to hand over Wenger, and how much effort did it take?

Schilling's roar sent a buzz through the room. Whether it was Old Wells or Kevin in the room, or the servants and guards in the hallway, they were all silent at the roar of a volcanic eruption.

This is the first time many have seen Schilling so angry.

This middle-aged man, who has always been unhurried and gentle, has completely lost his calm demeanor at this moment.

After roaring, Schilling ripped off the cloth around his neck and looked at Moon coldly: "Go on." ”

"The city defense forces only received a report from the owner of the Sapphire Hotel this morning," said Moon, "and they sent a whole brigade of cavalry and two brigades of infantry to rush there, and blocked the junction, but. The bandits have already run away. Except for Saki and his guards, everyone else was just robbed of money and was a little frightened. No one was hurt. But ........."

"But what?" said Schilling, gritting his teeth.

"The testimony of these people is very bad for Sacki...... "Moon whispered to the victim to testify that Sacchi tried to impersonate the bandits, but was heard by the real bandits. The story of the murder in the conflict was repeated.

Schilling flew up, kicked the fallen chair away, and pointed his finger at Moon, his face was so blue that he was speechless.

Sapphire Inn is quite well-known in Muni City. Even he, who had just been here for a short time, had heard of it. Those who can stay here are all dignitaries. These people, if they go against him Schilling alone, he is not afraid of any of them. But this does not mean that these rich people in the countryside are easy to mess with.

This is their territory, and they have 10,000 ways to hide and chew their tongues. Make stumbling blocks and put pressure on those who have a relationship with you.

Schilling could have imagined how angry Saki had been when he tried to kill everyone everywhere he tried to impersonate the bandits. From their testimonies, it is clear that this is the reason why the bandits only robbed them of their belongings and did not kill them. The bandit army didn't want to be saddled with this black cauldron, and at the same time, they also wanted to make the Holy See lively.

Schilling didn't know what kind of people the bandit army was. But this stick. I hit the place where oneself hurts the most.

Thinking with his ass, he also knew how angry Wallace would be now!

"Prepare the car!"

Schilling strode out the door and said angrily.

"Go to the Cathedral of Muni City!"

.........................

.........................

At this moment, the cathedral of Muni City is in chaos.

The morning service has stopped, and the faithful, priests, and priests in different colored robes. Groups of three stood in groups of five, in front of the patios, corridors and steps, and there was a lot of discussion. The ascetics, who had shaved off their top hair, also came out of their dark and humble retreats, staring at the hordes of papal knights and guards hurrying back and forth. Worried.

Looking down from the window on the upper floor of the church, outside the fence, many people are pointing in this direction. Occasionally, some ill-intentioned people take advantage of the chaos to throw stones or rotten fruit here.

The robbery that took place at the Sapphire Hotel during the night has spread in the city of Munny. In this extraordinary period, the slightest movement will cause a commotion in the whole city. What's more, Fano sent a whole team of menacing soldiers to report.

said that it was a report, and the leading guy was very arrogant. The rhetoric is very polite. It's as if everyone here is an accomplice of Sachi.

"If you've done the same thing before, you'd better tell me sooner! Hey, the district bishop is pretending to be a robber, that's a great idea. ”

That's what the damn captain of the guard said. Not only him, but the sergeant chief next to him also had a bad face. Those eyes look like thieves to everyone.

It's no wonder when you think about it.

The position of the Holy See in the Saint-Soran Empire was already awkward. The faithful may be polite, but these guys, who have only come to church once a year and a half on business, have a hostility to the Holy See in their bones.

On weekdays, they may not have any disrespect, but once this kind of thing happens, and in this war when everyone is holding back a fire, they will immediately be like a chicken blood, holding back their strength to find fault.

Although the leader of the squad saw only the monk who was in charge of the message, when they left, everyone heard the roar coming from Archbishop Wallace's room.

"Find Joseph at once!

Everybody knows what Saki is doing. Anything that pretends to be a bandit to rob is completely a false rumor. However, this was much worse for Archbishop Wallace than he was to actually be a bandit.

Therefore, finding Joseph is the main thing right now. Several bishops and papal knights were sent out. They must get Joseph back before Archbishop Wallace's anger escalates.

If something goes wrong with Joseph, or if the man he imprisoned dies, the Cathedral of the City of Munich will be reduced to ashes by the wrath of Archbishop Wallace.

However, just as everyone was in a hurry like ants on a hot pot, suddenly, the guards on the tower of the Holy See blew their horns.

A group of horsemen, huddled around a carriage, sped along the road of Mount Oder into the gate that the guards hastily opened.

"Joseph, it's Joseph. ”

Looking at the markings on the carriage, everyone present was excited. Crowds surrounded them from all sides. When Joseph stepped out of the carriage, everyone greeted him with a warm greeting.

At this moment when Archbishop Wallace's wrath hung over their heads and an unwarranted calamity that had swept over the Loulian Holy See, they had never felt Joseph so pleasing to the eye.

"Bishop Joseph, your Excellency is waiting for you. Wallace's henchman, Brooke, personally greeted him down the stairs and led Joseph, who had dismounted from the carriage, into the foyer. This is a rare sight to see in the church of Muni City. You know, Brooke is just a monk. But even a few district bishops were respectful when they saw him.

"Lord Brooke, you're so kind. Joseph, dusty and tired, followed Brooke up the steps.

"Don't be polite to me, Lord Joseph," Brooke said, "I don't know, Wenger."

"Alive, in a safe place. Joseph replied without hesitation.

As soon as he heard this, the nervous look on Brooke's face was obviously relaxed. As he turned into the hallway, he suddenly reached out and patted Joseph lightly on the shoulder, a smile of approval on his face.

"Lord Joseph, the future is limitless!"

This is an unmistakable lowering of one's body and deliberate friendship, not subtle or obscure, even a fool understands.

In normal times, no one would have heard such words in front of a person like Brooke. Even if he is courteous, he is still quiet. And now. He showed such an attitude, apparently looking at Joseph differently.

But. And that's not the most flattering thing for Joseph.

When they passed through the quiet corridor and walked to the door of Archbishop Wallace's room, the heavy door opened, and the venerable Archbishop Wallace had already greeted the door himself.

At this moment, Joseph finally understood. What a great gift Roy gave himself.

This rhetoric has already turned in Joseph's mind countless times. When Wallace asked, he recounted what had happened last night. From how Saki appeared, how he lured himself to betray Wallace, and how he became angry after being rejected by himself. How to pretend to be a bandit, and then the bandit army happened to appear, angry that Saki was pretending to be his name, and listened to Saki's knights' disrespectful words, and immediately killed the killer.......

This narration only made Wallace's forehead throb, if it weren't for the fact that Saki was already dead, I was afraid that he would strangle him alive with his own hands!

When Joseph finished speaking, Wallace and Brooke looked at each other and nodded silently.

They know a little bit about the details of last night's robbery. Judging from the testimonies of the innkeeper and the travelers, it is corroborated by Joseph's account. The only strange thing is that the mysterious and ruthless bandit army actually showed mercy this time, and only killed Saki and his gang, but did not touch a single cold hair of Joseph.

Of course, no matter how rich their imagination was, it was impossible to think that Joseph had already colluded with the bandits, and even the bandits went to the Sapphire Hotel just for Joseph.

You must know that Saki has ruled the Holy See in the Western District for so many years, and he is not domineering, but he only relies on his eight fair knights. And Joseph was just a newly appointed bishop of the county, and hundreds of knights acted for him?

Not to mention Joseph, not even he, Wallace!

The only explanation may be that Joseph's luck is really against the sky, and that damn Saki is really unlucky!

Hearing that Wenger was still alive and in Joseph's hands, the more Wallace looked at Joseph, the more pleasing he became. This guy may be a little less talented, but he is a lucky guy. If he hadn't gotten the Wenger case, I'm afraid he wouldn't have any bargaining chips with the Lanrithians now.

And what's even more valuable is that this guy is loyal.

If it were a different person, I am afraid that he would have taken advantage of last night's chaos to kill Wenger and directly push it on the head of the bandits! And this guy, knowing that handing over Wenger would not do him any good, still rushed over as soon as the incident happened. Looking at the dusty and tired face, it was obvious that he was frightened and did not rest. Who is willing to abandon such subordinates?

Wallace hesitated for a moment.

Now that the situation in Lulian is unknown, he doesn't want to offend the Lanrithians at this time. Handing over Arsene Wenger is almost a certainty. However, once Wenger was handed over, he would never be able to get off again, even if he got on Lanris's ship.

To pay, or not to pay?

"I'll let you know the purpose of your visit. You should know it all. What do you think about this?" Wallace looked at Joseph, his brow furrowed.

Before he knew it, he had made Joseph his confidant. However, this sentence is not so much asking for opinions, but rather asking himself about himself. These days. This question has always bothered him. Until now, he has not made a final decision.

Facing Joseph, he asked almost subconsciously.

As soon as he heard Wallace's words, Joseph knew that the opportunity had come. From the moment he walked into the Cathedral of Muni City, he thought about the words that Roy had confessed all the time.

"My lord, it wasn't my turn to speak on this matter," Joseph took over from Brooke's somewhat surprised gaze, and said sincerely, "but. After what happened last night, I thought we might as well think about a few questions......."

Wallace gave Joseph a deep look and said, "You say." ”

"First, where did Saki come from so much audacity," said Joseph, "this is your parish, and as a subordinate, he dares to put his hand on your head. How many others are like him?!"

As soon as Joseph's words came out, Brooke's face on the side changed.

He found. I really underestimated this wretched-looking guy. The first question he asked, hitting the bull's-eye.

What does Saki rely on, so don't you need to say, the spearhead is naturally aimed at the Lanris. And the latter problem swept a large area. Not only did he sweep all the bishops of several districts into it, but he also pointed it out vaguely. Since they are still your subordinates, they can all betray you and wait for the Lanrith ship.........

On the contrary, this is what Wallace hates and scruples the most!

"Go on!" said Wallace's face.

"Second, although Archduke Adolf is in danger, there is no worse news after all. Moreover. Below the Grand Duke, there are also General Fano and the lords loyal to him, and above there are the royal family and the entire aristocratic class, and they may not admit defeat lightly. In case the shape is reversed in a few days......."

Wallace and Brooke both nodded. Actually, this question is very unlikely, however, in such a conversation, this is also Joseph's idea, and there is no need to refute it.

"The Lanrith family wants to fish in the troubled waters of Lulian, and who knows if there is anyone else?" Joseph muttered to himself, "I was really shocked to see the bandit lineup last night. Are these guys really bandits?"

As soon as these words came out, Wallace and Brooke's eyes became serious. Wallace also got up and paced back and forth a few steps.

Joseph continued: "Thirdly, as you know, your Excellency, Wenger's case was originally tried in a secular court. We may try in the name of the Holy See. But when it comes to secular aristocracy, even the local nobility is needed in the court to serve as co-judges, and we have no power to dispose of him privately. ”

There is no doubt about it. If the Holy See disposed of the nobility in private, it would be tantamount to declaring war on the imperial power. In Pompeii and the Philip Empire it may work, but not in Saint-Sorain.

This also means that if Wenger is to be handed over to people from other countries, he will have to risk Solan's disapproval. And more importantly, it was impossible for them to bypass General Fano and the Lulian nobles loyal to Archduke Adolf. Especially now that this matter has been put on the table with Sachi's stupidity, I'm afraid everyone is watching!

If you dare to hand over Wenger, you have to ask the ruler here if you agree!

At this time, even if the Lanris get Wenger, I'm afraid that Schilling will not be able to take Wenger away like this!

This third problem makes the room unusually silent. Brooke was silent and did not speak, while Wallace, looking up at the ceiling, brooding.

For a long time, the two looked at each other. Brooke turned to Joseph and asked, "What should we do with your opinion, Joseph?"

"Deliver," Joseph said without hesitation, "but not on his own initiative." ”

"Oh?" the unexpected answer lifted Wallace's spirits and he looked down at Joseph, "What do you mean by not taking the initiative to make friends?"

"Since Schilling dares to ask Wenger to pass, there is naturally a way to bring him out of the city of Munny," Joseph's brows were tightly clenched, his eyes flickering, "If I'm not mistaken.......

"What?" asked Brooke and Wallace in unison.

Under the gaze of the two, Joseph said word by word: "If I guess correctly, they should use the Crusade Army!"

Crusade?!

"Smack!" Wallace slapped him on the face. Brooke, on the other hand, was stunned and smiled wryly.

In fact, they have all considered these issues mentioned by Joseph. It's just that now the shape is pressing, and I have to make a choice. Since Schilling's last visit, they have been discussing how to get Arsene Wenger into Schilling's hands. And this problem can't get around Fano and other Lulian nobles.

He can't get around it by handing over people, and if Schilling wants to take people out of the Saint Soran Empire, he naturally can't get around it.

And obviously. They have a way.

Therefore, Wallace knocked on the side several times, wanting to ask clearly, but Schilling, who was secretive, diverted the topic. It was in their best interest for them to hand over the people directly and tie Wallace to Langrith's ship.

Wallace is not a fool. If there was a chance to avoid the current conflict with Fano and the others, without offending the Lanris, why would he expose himself to the center of the vortex at this time?

But. For a few days, what he and Brooke, the number one thinker around him, thought, couldn't guess Schilling's plan. Until this moment, Joseph said the three words of the Crusade!

It is known that with the will of Pope Nicholas II, the crusade has begun. Thousands of nobles, knights, and mercenaries set out on the Crusades. And in addition to these people, there is another kind of people, who are also the main force of the Eastern Crusade. That's the criminals who are all over the human world.

According to the will of the Pope and the traditions of the nations, all the criminals who participated in the Crusades. can be forgiven. This made these outlaws choose to join the Crusade almost without hesitation.

For them. The Eastern Crusade can not only exonerate the crime, but maybe also fight for a bright future, so why not?

In the previous crusades, criminals who should have been hanged ended up making a fortune on the way to the east, becoming an example of a rich man and a rich life, but it is not uncommon!

And in accordance with the Convention. As long as the armies participating in the Crusade carried the banner of the Holy See, they were protected by the Holy See. Special rights of passage within the borders of each country. As long as they did not commit a crime on the march, any attack on them would be seen as a declaration of war against the Holy See and the royal families of the three empires!

This is something that even the royal family of Solan, who signed the convention, has to admit.

For historical reasons. The Solan Empire's crusade has always been the smallest of the three empires. Far from the chaotic land, the province of Lulian was one of the only few to participate in the Crusade.

In previous years, the Crusades, including the local papacies that provided food and lodging and organized for the crusades, did not take this seriously. Many things are left to the low-level personnel below to deal with, anyway, they are just a few guys who eat and drink, and they are afraid that they will not even see the borders of the chaotic land and the shadow of the infidels and go home.

Because of this, Wallace and Brooke ignored it.

And when they heard it at this moment, they immediately understood.

Schilling was preparing to let Arsene Wenger join the Crusade in order to leave Saint-Solan with a swagger.

I have to admit that once this plan of the Lanris family succeeds, the blow to the prestige of the royal family will be far heavier than sneaking Wenger away! At that time, people will not pay attention to how Wenger left, and will only focus their attention on the vast power of the Lanris family and the powerlessness of the royal family!

Thinking about it now, both Wallace and Brooke had to lament the cunning of the Lanris.

Although there is not sufficient evidence, the Pope's crusade decree was not issued sooner or later, and the choice of such a time cannot but make people suspect that there was a factor of cooperating with the southern action! You must know that Augustus was the Pope's godson! The influence of the Lanris family in the Holy See and the Pompeii Empire is unparalleled!

However....... Wallace and Brooke looked at each other, and they were both relaxed. Now that they know their plan and have come out of the matter of Saki, then Schilling still wants to control himself, which is a daydream!

'Schilling wants someone, let him grab it himself,' Joseph smiled, and said the common plan of the three of them at the moment, "We don't pursue Saki's affairs, but take the initiative to create opportunities for them, and we have done our best." Whoever judges it, the Langrith family has to recognize this favor, right?'

After saying that, all three laughed. Wallace and Brooke looked at each other and smiled, pleasantly relaxed. Joseph smiled. The smile is humble, but there is a hint of meaning.

The two people in front of him, one is a high-ranking provincial archbishop, and the other is a chief thinker with extraordinary wisdom.

But who would have known that the qiē they were so proud of was actually planned by a confused and honest teenager

(To be continued.) )
