Chapter 465: Retreat
Looking at the military formation on the opposite side as neatly as a knife, almost as if they were one in the process, even Larry Harold's eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of fear. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The knights of the adjudicator finally escaped with the divine assistance of Cardinal Owen, and before they could take a few breaths, they saw the majestic momentum of the military formation on the opposite side, and they were all pale as dirt.
The Knights of the Holy Judgment, who have always been invincible in the eradication of heresy, claim to be the sharpest sword in the hands of the God of Light, and have crushed the corpses of heretics under their iron hooves. When they were first sent to conquer the evil heretical Duchy of Pritz, the Knights of the Inquisition were all in high spirits and shouted that they would teach the Grand Duke of Pritz a harsh lesson for his disrespect to the God of Light and the Church.
However, in two successive battles, the arrogant Knights of the Holy Judgment were almost wiped out. In front of the formidable legion on the other side, the Knights of the Holy Judgment did not even inflict any threatening damage on the enemy. And if it weren't for Cardinal Owen's divine skill, I'm afraid that the Knights of the Holy Judgment might be directly removed from the Knights after this battle.
At this time, almost all the knights had no fighting spirit, and they subconsciously looked at Captain Larry Harold, hoping to hear the two words they wanted to hear from Larry Harold: retreat!
Even though these two words were a natural thing to expect, Larry Harold moved his lips several times, but he didn't say it. How dare he give such an order? The reason why the Knights of the Holy Judgment are given the word holy in front of their names is because they are fearless in carrying out the will of God, and they are the most loyal knights of the God of Light, and they will do whatever it takes to maintain the majesty of God.
If Larry Harold really gives the order to retreat today, even if they can escape back to the Cult of Light successfully, or even if they reconquer the Principality of Pritz with the help of the Knights of Light in the future, it will be a stain on him Larry Harold for the rest of his life, not only himself, but even his family will be spurned by all the Bright believers.
A coward who has turned his back on the Light and Glory is not entitled to any of the rights and resources of the Church of Light, and only the trial of the Inquisition awaits him.
Such a price is absolutely unacceptable to Larry Harold. After glancing around at the remnants of the Adjudicators, Larry Harold turned his heart and put his right hand back on the hilt of his sword, ready to draw his sword and order the Adjudicators to fight to the death.
Seeing Larry Harold's action, the adjudicator knights looked at each other, and they all guessed what Larry Harold's choice was, but as a knight of the Church of Light, they had no choice, once Larry Harold gave an order, even if he was reluctant, he had to obey the order and defend the dignity of the Church of Light with his own life.
But before Captain Larry Harold could draw his knight's sword, an old and powerful voice came from behind him: "Larry Harold!"
When the knights heard this, they all looked back, only to see Cardinal Owen walking towards him with firm steps, and as he went, he announced loudly: "Larry Harold, as the head of the Knights of the Holy Judgment, has failed the sacred duty entrusted by the God of Light and the trust of His Majesty the Pope. In my capacity as Cardinal Archbishop of the Church of Light, I declare that I will deprive Larry Harold of his position as head of the Knights of the Holy Judgment and return him to the Church of Light to await his trial. ”
After listening to Cardinal Owen's words, there was a commotion in the crowd of the ruling knights, but it disappeared in an instant. After all, Larry Harold was only the head of the regiment by virtue of the family's operation, and the knights did not really trust and respect him, and this was the cardinal's order, so the knights naturally had to obey it.
"No, Crown Owen, you can't do that! I have followed you diligently, and I have been leading the Knights of the Holy Judgment in the battle for God! You can't just abandon me!" Larry Harold's lips trembled, and he shouted out in apologetic defense to Cardinal Owen.
Cardinal Owen didn't even look at him, and gave a slight glance to the deputy head of the Knights of the Holy Judgment and several of the chief knights, and the deputy head of the order, Henry Howens, took down Larry Harold with a few of the chief knights and gagged him.
"In view of the previous defeats, I recommend that the Knights of the Divine Judgment temporarily return to the territory of the Paris Empire to recuperate, and wait for the meeting with the Knights of Light before continuing the conquest of the Duchy of Pritz. Cardinal Owen suggested to Henry Howens, the deputy head of the mission, as if he had not been the one who had ordered his ally Larry to be taken down.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" said Henry Howens, the deputy commander, bowed respectfully and ordered the knights to prepare to evacuate.
It was only at this time that the Knights of Judgment realized that not only the former head of the Order, Larry Harold, but even the Deputy Head Henry, was also a member of Cardinal Owen, and it seemed that the Knights of the Holy Judgment were really firmly tied to the faction of Cardinal Owen.
However, during the period of infighting in the Knights of the Holy Judgment, the Tang Army Formation in the distance was still advancing, and it was getting closer and closer to the Knights' camp, and many bows and crossbows in the back row had been wound, and they would soon enter the range of crossbow arrows.
Once you are entangled by these enemy forces, I am afraid that you will not be able to run away if you want to. Therefore, the ruling knights didn't think much about it, hurriedly packed their baggage, and quickly left under the leadership of Cardinal Archbishop Owen and Deputy Head Henry.
Because the horses of the cavalry of the Tun cavalry and the Yue cavalry were all a little frightened under the enemy's evil arts, and they could not pursue for a while, Gao Xianzhi had to order the Chinese infantry to stop advancing and watch the enemy flee away.
Leo was overjoyed to be able to force the Knights of the Holy Judgment to flee in such a disarray, and was once again happy to be able to summon such a strong army, and in these few battles, his Divine Pleasure Value had gained a lot, and he had re-climbed the 10,000-point mark to summon the legion again.
However, Leo did not summon immediately, but walked quickly down the city wall and greeted the direction of the Tang army, he couldn't wait to take a good look at this Tang army and their commander Gao Xianzhi.
