148 Insulting to the face
One hundred Teutonic cavalry stood quietly in front of the gates of Storm Castle, although there were only a hundred of them, but the discipline and cold fighting intent they displayed all revealed their majesty as the world's top cavalry.
At the same time, the gates of Stormcastle slowly opened, and the first thing that caught my eye was Duke in lion-headed armor. In fact, when he went out of the city, Duke still thought about whether to walk in the front or the back, in case the Holy See played in the front, his safety was not guaranteed, after all, the Holy See had too many means, and too few were exposed.
But then I thought about it, this was the first head-to-head confrontation with the Holy See, and I couldn't admit it. In addition, the Holy See probably doesn't bother to play tricks with his little lord, so there shouldn't be much security concern, so in the end, Duke decided to take the lead!
Behind Duke, in addition to the hammer and Cassel's close protection, there is also Carsmail. As the bishop of Stormcastle, unless it is a public apostasy, he still has to greet the inquisition, which is also the law of the Holy See.
The dwarven cavalry and the storm cavalry, also in a neat line, followed behind Duke.
"Boom, boom" The sound of horses' hooves stepped on the ground, making a slight vibration, and Cassel held high the battle flag of the Storm Army, looking at the Teutonic knight in front of him with a fearless expression. Probably he never thought in his life that he would be able to confront the Teutonic knights.
Putting aside the belief factor in the Cult of Light, it is definitely a very honorable thing to be able to fight against the most prestigious cavalry regiment on the continent as a simple knight. Cassel was so excited at this time that his face even turned slightly red. But fortunately, this guy has a dark face, and if you don't look carefully, you can't see his flushed face.
As for the dwarven hammer, it looks completely indifferent, if it weren't for the surrender to Storm Castle, their dwarves would definitely not have a good relationship with humans, and naturally they would not like the Teutonic cavalry on the other side. Moreover, the dwarves have not experienced the influence of the papal environment, at most they only regard the Teutonic knights as a formidable opponent, and they will not be as excited as Cassel.
Will saw that Duke actually dared to lead the troops to wave the flag, and his face instantly became gloomy, because this was a provocation to the Holy See! In the past, if the inquisition team on the mainland wanted to enter the city to investigate, the nobles in the entire territory would stand on both sides of the city gate under the leadership of the lord's lord, and welcome the entry of the jury.
Some of the more timid nobles even knelt down on the spot, showing their humility and devotion to the Holy See. It may be said that as far as Will can remember, except for Henry IV, when he was at his most rampant, he did not choose to stand at the city gate to greet him, and the other nobles were without exception.
Even Emperor Henry IV of France, after being investigated for indeed challenging the Holy See, had to honestly take the initiative to kneel outside the Pope's castle, and never sent the royal cavalry out to line up against the Holy See cavalry, which was definitely the audacity of Duke to do this!
"Lord Will, Storm Lord Duke is so rampant that he actually defies the Holy See, and has definitely become a heretic or even a demon!"
Ott said something next to him, with an angry look on his face. In fact, he was very happy in his heart, because the more arrogant Duke became, the more miserable his death would be, and the Holy See was a small storm fortress that could fight against?
After Deacon Will heard this, his face became more and more ugly, after all, this kind of thing happened to him, this is definitely a disgrace for a bishop!
However, now there are only a hundred Teutonic knights around, and the Teutonic knights are not invincible if they really want to fight. Although Will wanted to declare Duke a heretic directly, he showed that Kung Fu still had to be done, which was also the reason why the Holy See set up the Inquisition, so he could only hold back his anger and rode his horse slowly in the direction of Duke.
As the distance narrowed, Will also saw Carsmail behind Duke, and now he couldn't do anything with Duke, but Carsmail was a clergyman, so he had to use him first to vent his anger with Liwei.
So Will yelled at Kasmai with a gloomy face: "Kasmai, as the bishop appointed by the Holy See, don't you know anything about the heresy of Storm Castle?"
Carsmail may not have expected Will to attack him first, although the two of them are both bishops, but the scale of Alpine City is not the same as that of Storm Castle, under popular circumstances, the Holy See is the default bishop of Ayutthaya, not to mention Will also has the status of a judge deacon, under normal circumstances, a small castle bishop like Carsmail has to listen honestly.
Sure enough, Carsmail was a little at a loss, and he didn't dare to look directly into Will's gaze, the faith and majesty of the Holy See had been buried deep in his consciousness, even if he had done countless things that violated the canon, Carsmail was still weak and cowering in the face of Will.
Seeing Carsmail's cowardly look, Will said even more disdainfully: "Sure enough, it is a wild sect that has never entered the seminary, has no pious beliefs and canons, and is only worthy of mixing with depraved heretics." ”
When this sentence was spoken, almost everyone had their eyes on Kasmai. No matter what happened now, Castle was a big man in Stormcastle before, and even the lords didn't dare to fight him.
Now not only the Storm Knights who went out of the city, but even some of the storm troops at the near end of the city wall have heard Will's words. Once the formidable great man of Stormcastle, he was treated as an ant-like insult.
After Kasmai heard this, even if he didn't dare to resist anymore, his face turned red at the moment. Unlike other bishops who were of noble birth and even studied at the Holy City Seminary, Kasmai really climbed up from the bottom step by step, just like Will was a traditional nobleman and Kasmai was a commoner.
This gap in identity has made Casmeer the bishop of a dangerous situation like Storm Castle, and he can only rely on bribery to get a chance to climb up. This kind of humility in identity has always been a pain point for Kasmai, but now it has been ruthlessly torn apart by Will.
Duke also turned his head to look at Kasmai, but did not say a word for him, because Duke had never had a class mentality, let alone the idea that commoners were inherently inferior. But Duke can't pass on his thoughts to Carsmail, and if he doesn't want to be despised by Will, he has to fight it himself!
Angry and humiliated in his heart, Kasmai saw Duke's calm gaze. There was no ridicule, no pity, not even encouragement. But it was this calm gaze that gave Kasmai a great deal of respect!
I relied on my own efforts to ascend to the position of bishop step by step, why am I inherently inferior to those of you seminaries? If there was still a trace of hesitation at both ends of Kasmai before, then from this moment on, Kasmai completely let go!
