145 Robbery while the fire is on
Duke listened to Michelangelo's words, and this feeling was like Gandalf's discovery of the charm of science, perhaps Michelangelo's excitement was architecture and art.
At the same time, Michelangelo's concept of faith also made Duke find a common feeling, that is, religious belief should be strict with oneself, not strict with others! Sure enough, one of the three masters of Renaissance thought, Michelangelo's understanding of religious belief has surpassed this era.
Now that Michelangelo has made a decision, Duke is naturally not reluctant, and he also wants to keep Michelangelo, a master of architectural art.
While Storm Castle was actively preparing for battle, Alpine City was not idle, and with the arrival of the Teutonic Knights of the Holy See, the Holy See army in the entire Alpine City had exceeded 7,000 people. And at this moment, the lord of Alpine City, Count Philip, is like a heel worm, following behind Archbishop Ole, hoping that the archbishop can maintain a good relationship.
After all, any nobleman on this continent, once he has the support of the Holy See and is cultivated as a cronie, then the addition of officials to the knighthood is just around the corner. If you are lucky, it is not impossible to be crowned emperor and become emperor. Although Ole was only an archbishop, not a cardinal, Count Filip still didn't want to let go of this opportunity, even if it was to become a duke further.
"Archbishop, this time the Holy See must judge Duke properly, this kid I suspect that he has not only a connection with heresy, but even with a foreign race. It is said that a legion of dwarves has stationed in Storm Castle and forged a large number of weapons and armor for them, and they are definitely traitors to our humans!"
Not only did Storm Castle set up an eyeliner in Alpine City, but after being taught a lesson by Duke, Count Philip naturally paid a lot of attention to Storm Castle. More than 5,000 people from the Hammer Tribe came to Storm Castle, and this kind of news could not be hidden, so naturally it was also known by Count Philip.
As for the creation of weapons and armor, the hydroelectric factory is closed to the public, and there are strict confidentiality requirements. They still don't know if Stormcastle's weapons and armor can be forged by themselves, or if they think that these weapons and armor are forged by dwarves.
Hearing Count Fili's words, Ole nodded, not paying attention. Because this time the Papal Army is dispatched, no matter whether Duke is connected with heretics or aliens, the result is only one, and that is destruction!
Seeing that Archbishop Auray didn't seem to be in high spirits, Count Fili didn't say much, and he was a human spirit who could mix in this position, and the most basic observation of words and expressions was no problem.
It was at this moment that a priest deacon dressed in black walked in, glanced at Count Philip, and then made a look of desire to stop talking. When Count Filip saw this scene, he naturally knew that they definitely wanted to say something, and it was inconvenient for him, an outsider, to be here, so he hurriedly said with a smile: "Archbishop, I still have some government affairs that I haven't dealt with, so I won't bother you." ”
Ole began to be a little satisfied with Count Philip's superiority, so he replied: "Then the Earl will be busy." ”
Count Fili saluted and walked out of the hall, when the priest and deacon stepped forward and said, "Archbishop, I have just received a magical message from the cardinal, ordering you to stop the attack on Stormcastle and lead the Teutonic knights back to Andorra. ”
After hearing the words of the priest deacon, Archbishop Ore's face became very ugly, he originally wanted to kill first and then play, the whole process was a secret operation, and even recruited Uther to Andorra la Vitra alone. But I never expected the cardinal to know so quickly, it seems that the energy of Kasmai, the bishop of Storm Castle, is not small, and he has such a close relationship with the cardinal.
"Archbishop, what should we do now?" the priest deacon asked again, after all, the consequences of such a disobedience to the cardinal's order are too serious, and the slightest carelessness will be subject to the trial of Tente.
"Where was the fatwa sent?" Oregh asked rhetorically.
"Cathedral of Andorra la Vella. The priest and deacon replied a little puzzled, didn't the cardinal's decrees all be sent to the Cathedral of Andorra la Vella, and why did the archbishop still ask this.
"I'm in Alpine City right now, and I haven't seen the fatwa from the cardinal, do you understand?"
Ole looked at the priest deacon with a cold face, facing the archbishop's gaze and cold tone, this priest deacon quickly understood what Ole meant, he hurriedly nodded and replied: "I understand the archbishop, the cardinal's decree is still in Andorra City, and it has not been transmitted in time. ”
Hearing the priest's answer, Ore's grim expression finally improved a little, so he waved his hand to let him go down first.
On the other side, after Count Fili left, his second son, Ott, came over and asked Count Fili, "Father, what does the archbishop say, when will you attack Storm Castle?"
"There's no time yet, but this time Stormcastle is supposed to be in trouble. ”
Hearing Count Filip's answer, a sinister smile appeared on Ott's face, and at the same time his heart was extremely happy. Before Alpine City was breached by Storm Castle, Duke's unassuming appearance has always been firmly remembered by Ott.
In particular, Duke's sentence of what are you is is the biggest humiliation for Ott in his life. Because he thinks that he is no worse than anyone else, but because of the identity of the second son, he does not have any titles and fiefs, and what makes him even more unwilling is that Duke, a well-known straw bag in the imperial capital, can become a viscount because of Duke Otto, and can become a viscount to harvest Storm Castle, and even conquer Alpine City.
For the scene when Alpine City was breached, Ultra will never forget it in his life, he has been waiting for the day when he will take revenge on Duke, and he will also say in Duke's face that he is a waste straw bag, and it is because of his father who is a duke that he has today's title!
"Father, since Archbishop Auray has already led the Holy See army over, why don't you tell the Archbishop, and we in Alpine City will also join the battle. Duke has been selling porcelain for so long, and it is estimated that the vault is already full of gold coins, and this time we will get back what we lost before!"
There was even a hint of hideousness on Ott's face when he said this, the porcelain sales that Duke had forcibly suppressed had made Takayama Castle almost no profit, and he had even started to lose money recently! He had made so much money from Alpine Castle, it was time to pay it back!
"Okay! Just do as you say, our Alpine City can be used as the Holy See's auxiliary army, and let the Holy See do the hard bones of attacking the city, and we will wait for the city to be broken and the Storm Castle will be looted. Not to mention the gold coins, just the battle armor of Storm Castle is enough to take the strength of Alpine City to a higher level, and we may have to call me Duke Fili in the future!"
