A clamor rang out from the city gates, like a tidal wave, and quickly swept everyone from the city gate to the square outside the camp.

The people stood on tiptoe and looked up, only to see a tall banner of the Holy Sect appearing on the heads of the people. As the banner moved, a procession of more than thirty soldiers and thirteen knights, led by a monk, slowly approached.

"Crusade!"

"It's Moon!"

The nobles on the terrace all looked at each other in amazement.

Since Pope Nicholas II issued the will of the Eastern Crusade, the current Continent of Salvation has entered a new era of Eastern Crusade.

Whether it is urban or rural, whether it is in the south or in the north, whether it is a cold plateau or a vast plain. On every road, in every town, you can see the Eastern Expeditionary Army holding the banner of the Holy Religion, marching silently in groups. From time to time, they were joined by people along the way.

Like the three Crusades in history, the will of the Crusades issued by the Pope this time was still corresponded to by the entire human world.

This was the largest and most spectacular military operation of mankind, and it was also a great migration of mankind. Countless people, under the call of the Holy See, took up their swords and marched towards the chaotic land of the East. Among them, there were nobles, commoners, devout believers, ruthless criminals, and even women and children.

Some of them wanted to use the sword in their hands to purify the chaotic land and spread the teachings of the Holy Emperor to the heretics there. Some people hope to become famous and fight for a future with meritorious deeds. Others simply go for the riches of the Land of Chaos.

Of the three empires, the relationship between the Saint Soran Empire and the Holy See was the worst, but it still had a large number of believers. As the capital of Loulian, it is an important transport, commercial and agricultural town in the three major southern provinces. Crusades in the city of Muni are not uncommon.

And the Eastern Crusade Army that appeared in front of him was different.

Nobles who have heard of the Bollabel Revolution know that when Princess Ellethia traveled to Lulian more than a year ago, it was the monk named Moon who led three Templars and five Knights of the Shrine. In the name of protecting Elethea, he is actually a surveillance, running errands for the Lanris.

However, that time, it happened that the Phillips army bypassed the Warcraft Mountains and invaded Bollabelle. This guy, along with Arsene Wenger's son Matthew and other nobles, treacherously left the heroic Baron Pollabel Brian, the royal knights and the unarmed Bollabel civilians fled in panic.

Later, because Alex shot to kill Roy. Attacking the royal knights caused the imperial family and the Holy See to completely turn their faces. Not only was the Knights Templar's branch in the Solan Empire kicked out, but Edward also ordered a thorough investigation of every church in the empire for any wrongdoing.

It was not until the end that the Holy See sent a cardinal to the royal family to apologize, and the local Holy See of Solan also put down his body, that the incident was calmed down.

It was a passage that I still remember. The days when my heart was shaken. The imperial capital is turbulent, and all forces have appeared on the scene. The invading Iron Riders of Ferry. Galloping across the borders of the empire, beacons are everywhere. In the aristocratic circle, intrigue and intrigue are openly and secretly fighting, and dragons and snakes from all sides run for franchises.

And Edward's majesty was uncharacteristically and fought back strongly. Princess Erethia entered the temple alone. Mo Ya took Kunlun Nu and beheaded Sherlock. Admitted to the Supervisory Yuan. In the past 30 years, the imperial power of the empire has never been so strong, so dazzling, and so impressive!

And Moon, who got into trouble, after returning to the imperial capital. He was snubbed by the Pope for a year. It was not long ago that it was reactivated, and it returned to the city of Muni in the name of the Holy See's Crusade to receive the envoys.

At this moment, seeing him leading people in through the south gate, the nobles looked at each other and were a little surprised.

They knew that Moon was a dog of the Lanris, but they didn't know what the Lanrith wanted to do when they let him out.

Does this Crusade have anything to do with Avery in the barracks?

You know, since the beginning of the First Crusade, the Holy See has reached an agreement with the secular imperial power. Citizens of all countries can join voluntarily, and the secular world must not interfere, but must provide convenience. When the Eastern Crusade Army passes through the territories of various countries, it must not infringe on the territories, and has no right to interfere in the affairs of the local lords.

This is the only way to avoid the huge Crusade army from degenerating into raiders who raid along the way.

Generally speaking, the Crusaders rarely entered the city. In addition to procuring the necessary food and clothing, and filing with the lord's palace in the territory they pass through in exchange for customs clearance, they spend most of their time in their own camps outside the city. After completing the supplies and formalities, we will continue our journey.

But today, this Moon led the Eastern Expeditionary Army into the city.

Everyone knows that this has something to do with the knight who Natasha sent out of the city, and it is no coincidence that everyone does not understand how the two parallel lines of the Crusade Army and the world, which are separated, can intersect.

Secular forces attacking the Crusade will be severely punished by the Holy See and secular royal power, and even the most powerful lords will be destroyed under the suppression of this dual force. And if the Eastern Crusade dares to attack the territories along the way, then they will be regarded as blasphemers in the name of the Holy Emperor and under the banner of the Holy See. Anyone has the right to destroy them.

This is the iron law of the three crusades for hundreds of years. Everyone who violates this iron law has been sent to the guillotine.

In this struggle for secular power, what is the purpose of Schilling suddenly involving the Crusade Army.

All eyes were on Schilling.

From Schilling's face, they couldn't see any signs. The second-level butler of the Lanris family stood with his hands in his hands. The smile on his face was neither salty nor light, and it seemed to have become a bamboo in his chest.

As he spoke, the Eastern Crusade led by Moon had already marched over. Not far from Hotel Hera, stopped.

The people around them, while looking curiously at this small number of Eastern Expeditionary Army, consciously kept a certain distance from them.

Moon, dressed in a brown monk's robe, dismounted, supported by an assistant priest. Moon looked a little older than he had been a little over a year ago. Obviously, the days of being beaten into the cold palace are not easy. However, his eyes were still the same as before, gloomy. With a hint of ambition.

This is a scheming villain.

Every nobleman who knew Moon thought so in his heart. They watched as Moon saluted the templar and Bishop Wallace on the terrace, watched him nod to Schilling, watched him smile and point at the South Gate barracks.

Suddenly, someone's heart moved. He quickly set his eyes on Archbishop Wallace. A name, flashing through their hearts, instantly linked to Moon.

"Arsene Wenger!"

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

Outside the city of Muni, a convoy of the Holy See slowly stopped on the side of the muddy road.

At the front of the procession, a black-clad priest turned his horse's head and galloped through the long line of soldiers to the center of the convoy, whispering something to Joseph, who was riding his horse beside the prisoner's cart. His eyes kept glancing at the prisoner car.

Arsene Wenger sat in the prisoner's car, struggling to swallow a piece of wheat cake.

The former ruler of Luoxia City was less than sixty years old this year, with a thin build, silver hair, and a handsome and elegant appearance. However, dozens of days of life as a prisoner have completely changed his appearance. At the moment he has long hair and a shawl. Dressed in a dirty robe, he sat cross-legged in a prison car. A pair of eyes, as red as a beast.

"Joseph, why don't you move?" Seeing the convoy stop, the majestic walls of Muni City were at his side, and Wenger's hoarse voice carried a hint of mockery. "What, don't you want me?"

Waving for the black-clad priest to leave, Joseph turned over and dismounted, walked to the prisoner cart, and looked at Wenger. said lightly: "I am reluctant for you to die so early." ”

"Hahahaha......" Wenger burst out laughing, choking on the wheat cake in his mouth, causing him to cough violently.

It wasn't until the tears flowed out of his cough that Wenger stopped coughing, and his eyes became more and more red.

He stared at Joseph like a wolf and sneered: "Joseph, you were just a little priest in Medin City, and you took shit luck to climb to Wallace and become the county bishop. Even so, you are in Medin City and I am in Luoxia City, and the well water does not interfere with the river water. But you are so deluded that you dare to attack me!"

At the beginning, Matthew died, the Black Skull bandits were completely wiped out under the blow of the Red Leaf Knights, and Wenger's crime was exposed, and it was Joseph who took the opportunity to take over the case from the Red Leaf Knights, who were not willing to come forward, and led people to raid the city lord's mansion of Wenge and arrest him.

And Wenge's case actually involved the then Bishop of the Western District, Sachi. It was Saki's connivance, and even the black-clad priests of the Inquisition, who were able to calmly attack the passing caravans, and at the same time murder the fish who slipped through the net to hide the crime.

A large part of the harvest of the Wenge loot also went into Saki's pocket.

This is a collusion between secular power and theocracy. In Wenger's view, his relationship with the Black Skull bandits is extremely secretive, with Saki covering and the Lanris family behind him, and the risk of being caught is extremely small. Even if you miss, with the protection of the Holy See, you can get out.

But he never dreamed that the attack on the two caravans, which were not too strong in escort force, would become his Waterloo. Not only was the Black Skull bandits wiped out, their own territory was wiped out, and even his own son, Matthew, was killed by Roy's damn little bastard.

What Wenger didn't expect was that the person who took over the case turned out to be Joseph, who had just been promoted to bishop of Brontoshire. This fellow, who was also in the Holy See, but did not understand the rules, led a group of wolf-like black-clergymen to storm his castle, plunder all his wealth, and throw him into prison!

This time, Wenger's calculations were all overturned.

I thought that the Holy See would be my umbrella. But in the end, the Holy See became its own noose. This Joseph and Saki have always had a grudge against each other, and this time they seized the opportunity to be even more ruthless. not only tortured himself, but also took advantage of this incident to make a big fuss, and he was chasing and beating him fiercely.

In order to avoid suspicion, Saki didn't even dare to ask. All the blame fell on his own head.

However, Joseph paid a large sum of money for Bishop Wallace after confiscating his family property, and took the case from the Knights of the Red Leaves, covering up Saki's crimes and avoiding a major scandal in the Holy See.

Seeing Joseph's face at this moment, Wenger can't wait to tear it apart!

He smirked.

It's coming, it's coming. This day is not far off! Although he is in a cage, he is also aware of the situation outside. As soon as he entered the city gates, Lord Schilling would arrange an opportunity for him to escape into the ranks of the Crusade led by Moon. You can do it yourself. Leave St. Soran!

This was an agreement between Lord Schilling and Archbishop Wallace. This Joseph is a small county bishop. Compared to the Lanris family, which is considered to cover the sky in the Holy See, he is just a small reptile at the foot of the dragon!

Looking at Joseph's fat face, Wenger's smile became more and more hideous.

I'll see who dies early!

"What's going on?" the convoy stopped, and several riders who were following the convoy at a distance, looking at each other. One of the priests in white rode up from behind, frowned and asked Joseph, "Lord Joseph, why did you stop?"

This priest in white is the man next to Moon.

Schilling visits Wallace and makes an agreement with him, Moon sends the white-clad priest as an intermediary liaison.

"Nothing. I had a chat with Mr. Arsene Wenger. Joseph said lightly.

The white-clothed priest and Wenger glanced at each other, and said with a smile, "Lord Joseph, it can't be that you have any other ideas, right?"

"How dare you?" said Joseph, shaking his head, "this is a matter for Mr. Schilling and Lord Wallace, and I, Joseph, have so much audacity?" You're all ready?"

"Of course. The white-robed priest said. "As long as your convoy enters the city gate, Lord Joseph, you don't have to worry about the rest of the matter. ”

"No matter what, it doesn't work. Joseph sighed, "If it were normal, I let Mr. Wenger escape from me, and I will escape." But today. This is in full view. You said that Lord Schilling didn't choose a good time, so he had to ...... on the occasion of the rear army's departure ceremony."

With a bitter face, he said, "So many people in Muni City, as well as so many nobles, are watching. In case everyone thinks that it was me Joseph who deliberately let Mr. Wenger go. Wouldn't I be able to wash myself up by jumping into the river of Hilai? I'm a little county bishop, but I'm not so bold!"

Are you still timid?

The priest in white slandered in his heart. He had heard about the bishop of Josephshire. It is said that not long ago, he was a minor priest in the church of the city of Medin. Originally, he was going to take the blame for a clash between the Holy See and the secular in Medin City, as well as the case of the attack and death of the county bishop, but in the end, he actually let him go through the door of Archbishop Wallace and became a celebrity in front of the archbishop.

And after being promoted to the county bishop, the first thing this guy did was to take over Wenger's case from the Red Leaf Knights, personally lead people to arrest Wenger, raid the city lord's mansion of Luoxia City, and put Wenger's savings for many years into his own pocket, and at the same time chased and beat him fiercely, making Sachi, the bishop of the West District, all disgraced.

After that, this guy almost purged the Holy See of Bronshire of everything. The priests who were attached to the former bishop of the county were either exiled to remote areas by him or simply driven away. From the county's cathedrals to the lower courts, all of them were replaced by his people.

Not only that, but he also heard that not long ago, this guy was attacked and forced by Saki at the Sapphire Hotel outside the city, and he was asked to hand over Wenger. And in the end, it was Saki who died, and this guy was unharmed.

Legend has it that Joseph had some kind of close connection with the bandit army who had been in a lot of trouble at the front time, and people talked about it. Sakhy's death was a conspiracy. Although there is no evidence to confirm such a statement, in the eyes of the white-clothed priest, it is not all chasing after the wind.

Isn't it ridiculous that such a guy who dares to be the enemy of the Lanris family and who dares to attack the bishop of the West Side actually says that he is cowardly?

However, the priest in white could also understand Joseph's feelings. The reason why this guy was able to quickly become popular in front of Wallace was because Wallace's subordinates, including several district bishops, were almost one-sided towards the Lanrith family. And this is what Wallace, as the archbishop of the province, does not want to see.

Wallace's line was to remain neutral. The awkward situation of the Holy See made him reluctant to make a choice when the situation was uncertain.

Therefore, he must set an example. This desperate Joseph became his best choice.

But the situation has developed to this day, and Grand Duke Adolf is deeply encircled, and it seems that the end of defeat and death is the end. The imperial family is also difficult to protect itself and is in danger. Coupled with the fact that Schilling is making waves in Muni City, it seems that there is a great change that shakes the empire in front of him. Even he Wallace. This wire can't go on.

I also knew with my toes that once Wallace made up his mind and got on the ship of the Lanrith family, who would be the first person to be thrown out and carry the black cauldron.

Rabbits and dead dogs are cooked, and birds are hidden.

Handed over Arsene Wenger today. This Joseph's path is basically over. Even if Wallace saw his allegiance before and after the saddle, he could not save him for a while, but he could not save him for the rest of his life.

How could Joseph be willing to this?

Now, it was Wenger who was sitting in the prisoner's car, and in the future, maybe it would be reversed, and it would be his turn Joseph! I will never let him go.

Hum. If you know today, why bother in the first place. The white-robed priest thought to himself. Looking at Joseph in the eye is like looking at a dead man. However, now this guy still needs to cooperate, and the smile on the surface still has to be maintained.

"Lord Joseph, you don't have to worry about that," said the white-robed priest. "Now, Lord Moon has led the way into the city. A while. As your convoy enters town, you'll have a little surprise. You know, it's not very peaceful right now. There are more or less short-sighted bandits who try to fish in troubled waters. When the time comes, the bandits attack the convoy is chaotic, and you will naturally not care about Mr. Wenger. Where he fled is none of your business. ”

Joseph looked coldly at the white-clothed priest. It was a little unnatural to see his expression.

It's simple. But the priest in white himself knew how clumsy and clumsy such a plan was. As long as it's someone with a long brain. You can see the problem from it.

Not to mention the strong defense of Muni City, in the past hundred years, no bandit group has ever dared to attack Muni City. Let's just say that today, when the rear army went out, tens of thousands of people gathered in the square, and it was in front of the gate of the coalition army. Which bandit group would have a bad brain and come here to make trouble?

But the white-clothed priest also knew that this kind of clumsiness was the effect that Lord Schilling wanted.

The more people next to me saw it, the more it showed the arrogance of the Lanrith family - we didn't come to the forefront, we didn't get involved in disputes, and we didn't break the rules. But we can use this way to achieve our goal, and it can also make you pinch your nose and accept your fate, and you can't sneeze!

After a long time, Joseph nodded slowly, and said helplessly: "Okay." ”

Seeing Joseph turn around, he waved his hand to let the convoy move on. The white-clothed priest and Wenger exchanged a smug look. Merely. Neither of them saw a hint of banter in Joseph's eyes as the dozen or so black-clad priests and members of the guard in the convoy looked at each other.

The convoy moved forward, passing through the tall city gate guarded by the guards, and the noise was like the tide of the sea, getting louder and louder!

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

"Sure enough, it's Arsene Wenger!"

When they saw the Holy See motorcade carrying the prisoner cart, the nobles on the terrace of the Hera Hotel were in an uproar. The vague speculation in my heart has become clearer and clearer.

Everyone knew that the Lanris were going to take Wenger away this time. Moreover, it is absolutely impossible to have a coincidence that Moon's crusade and the convoy escorting Wenger appeared almost at the same time. Some of them are imaginative, and they can even guess the plot behind them.

The Earl of Cousins asked angrily, "Schilling, what do you want to do?"

Schilling turned his head and said with an innocent expression, "Mr. Cavins, didn't you ask the wrong person what I want to do? I want to do a lot of things, which one are you asking?"

As he spoke, a hint of banter flashed across his face: "But I don't think you'll be happy in either case." ”

"I'm asking Wenger!" said the Earl of Cousins, "Wenger is the head of the devil, attacking passing caravans, and committing heinous murders. There are hundreds of human lives that are already known! Such crimes, no matter what position you stand on, are absolutely unforgivable, do you want to let Wenger escape punishment?"

"Arsene Wenger?" Schilling turned his head to look at the Holy See convoy that was walking through the city gate, and smiled, "What does he have to do with me?" We, the Langrees family, have always been law-abiding, benevolent and fair. This time, I came to Muni City, in addition to resolving a little dispute, more time is to visit the mountains and rivers. Whatever crime Viscount Wenger committed, it's your Lulian business. Don't you have the power to punish him?"

Cousins and the nobles beside him gritted their teeth with a loud clatter.

Arsene Wenger is the scum of the Lulian aristocracy, and if he were to be sent to the gallows according to the Lulian law, he would have been sent to the gallows. The bloody case in Luoxia City shocked the empire, and everyone knew about it. Not only Lulian, but every province and every citizen of the empire are waiting for the day when Wengervofa will come.

Especially the relatives of those victims, who are eager to eat their flesh and sleep on their skin!

If such a criminal is somehow taken away by the Lanrisians, it is not only a shame for Lulian, but also a shame for the Saint Solan Empire.

They turned to look at Archbishop Wallace.

In the face of their gaze, Wallace was silent, and the expression on his face did not change at all. It seems that the qiē in front of him has nothing to do with him.

Several female envoys of the Holy Maiden's Temple, in the whispered explanations of the attendants next to them, obviously understood the reason for the matter. Looking into Schilling's gaze, he became more and more appreciative and curious.

The relationship between the Holy Maiden Temple and the Golden Dragon Family has been temporarily delayed because of Lord Scarlett's affairs. But in the Holy Maiden Temple, many people are inclined to befriend the Golden Dragon Family.

This time, the Langris family sent Schilling south to Lulian with great fanfare, the purpose of which was to save face and continue to promote the improvement of the relationship between the family and the Holy Maiden Temple. Therefore, if this terrace is compared to a stage, then Schilling is the main actor, and the three female envoys are the main guests.

Worldly matters, who is right and who is wrong, does not matter to these three envoys. Who Wenger was, what sins he committed, whether it was an angel or a demon, it had nothing to do with them.

In their eyes, it is the result that counts, and judging by the situation in front of them, this aggressive Mr. Schilling will give them the best performance.

Can he use this criminal named Wenger to force out the deputy Commander Avery who was huddled in the barracks?

"Schilling's trick is too deadly!" the royal historian Alvin, thinking, wrote hard.

Every change in this storm, the expressions of everyone here, were all seen by him. He knew that with Schilling pulling out Arsene Wenger, this conflict had reached the most intense and acute time. The next plot is about to come out.

No one can endure such a shame.

It was impossible for either commoners or nobles to watch Wenger being taken away by the Lanrithians in such a ridiculous way. If Avery continues to shrink into the barracks and does not show up, then, without the Lanrithians dealing with him, the angry populace can ruin him.

As he spoke, the Holy See's motorcade had already entered the south gate of Muni City.

Onlookers found Wenger in the prison car. As the news spread, more and more people focused their attention on Wenger.

"Demon!" a woman who frantically crowded to the front of the crowd smashed the eggs in the basket on the prisoner cart, "Give my son back!"

Neighbors who knew this woman knew that her youngest son, who was a horseman in the caravan, died in a robbery passing through Luoxia City. This woman waits every day to see Arsene Wenger being sent to the gallows.

Just now, as soon as Wenger's prisoner car passed through the city gate, she was notified. Seeing that the killer is right in front of her, where can a woman who is in pain still be able to maintain her sanity!

With this angry scolding, countless rotten eggs and rotten tomatoes all flew out.

People shouted "hang him" and threw eggs, vegetables and even stones at the prisoner cart. Those who lost loved ones in the Wenger robbery went even more insane. If it weren't for the sergeants and guards desperately trying to hold their ground, I am afraid that the convoy would have been overwhelmed by the angry crowd...... (To be continued......)
