The Pope's escort was numerous, and the Neustrians would not have succeeded if they had been prepared for what they encountered, but the Neustrian mission was not very numerous, and even by the pitiful standards of Neustria, it was not a decent army, and besides, most of the men of the mission remained on their ships as usual, and only a few people roamed the city, and among them were three young ladies, who would have thought that such a small force would be so small in number. How dare a team of men and women who are like a tourist group brave the world and outnumbered the crowd to commit such a heinous act as kidnapping the pope?

No one thought of it.

Especially when they negotiated so aggressively with the cardinals for the approval of the Holy See and the archbishop's shawl.

Who would have thought that they would not want a shawl and directly pull away the person in charge of issuing the shawl?

The smoke bombs thrown by the Neustrians were not only the ones that were thrown into the papal procession that day, but they had been actively planning the layout even before the new liaison took office—they had familiarized themselves with the geography of the Eternal City in the name of worshipping the sacred relics in the city, and had drawn the routes of movement and escape in advance; They also negotiated with their contacts and paid bribes, so that everyone could be fooled into believing that their aim was to obtain the recognition of the Holy See in public ceremonies at any cost. They also sent to inquire about the preferences of the cardinals in the city, and bought a number of valuable and luxurious objects recommended by the merchants, and several of them had already congratulated their bosses in advance, congratulating them on the receipt of a rich tribute from distant Neustria.

Who can be prepared in such a situation against their maddening criminal actions?

No one.

And so they lost their pope before their eyes.

However, when they found out that the Pope was missing. The reaction and action are still very fast, and. Probably because of the mercy of the gods, although the whole course of events is full of the magic and unknown brought by the devil. But there was not a single person in a position of authority in charge who thought that the sudden disappearance of His Majesty the Pope in full view of the pope was a supernatural event, and they dealt with it in unison with secular methods—the alarm bell was soon sounded, the gates were closed, and the whole city was searched for the bandits who dared to hold the Pope hostage—a decision that was quick at the speed of information transmission at the time.

At that time, they did not realize that it was the Neustrian Mission, after all, they gave the impression that they had come to seek the recognition of the shawl and the Pope, not bandits who had come to raid or sometimes disturb the area.

However, soon it became clear.

With similar explosives and smoke screens, the Neustrian squad easily repelled the overly curious dock guards. Boarding the "Flying Santsina", the three-masted ship, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately pulled anchor and set sail, rushing out to sea.

The ships patrolling the docks belonging to the Eternal City also spotted the anomaly, and they tried to stop it, but only to ......

The "Flying Santsina" was not comparable to them in terms of tonnage or flexibility, and after realizing the difference between the two sides, they gave up this act of using their mantis arms as a car one by one, and they were both blamed afterwards for it, but it is fair to say that they did not know that the other party was the most heinous prisoner who had robbed the Pope; Two. They just didn't avoid it, and the result was nothing more than adding more floating debris to the waters near the dock. Their avoidance at that time was a choice based on reason rather than cowardice.

After confirming that the fleeing mission was the prisoner of the Pope's abduction, the twelve warships quickly pulled anchor and set off. Go to the sea to chase down the lawless heretics.

"Twelve to one! In any case......" said the cardinal, who had ordered the order, had thought that he had played both factions of Neustria in the palm of his hand until that day. But reality relentlessly reminded him that when he was calculating others. Others are also calculating him with relish, and the calculation has succeeded! -- Is it tolerable or unbearable!

When he gave this order. Still trembling with rage, he, a respected cardinal, had been fooled by a group of illiterate and half-literate Nyustrian country imps! Bah! They don't deserve to be Archbishop of Neustria in the first place! He was merciful and gave them a chance to prove themselves and repent of what was good, and they ignored his good intentions and tried to bite back the hand that was fed to them, and they didn't even deserve to eat the crumbs under the table!

What made him especially angry was that they were messing around like this, he had already promised his little cutie to prepare a prince-level silver cradle for their unborn children, and now he could only take money out of his own purse!

The humiliation of being fooled, the hatred of having good intentions ruined, and the disappearance of the expected income made him so angry that he wanted to step on the sea immediately, and personally pick up the shepherd's staff and beat the boat into the water to feed the king!

"Twelve ships, those heretics can't win anyway!" His assistant assured him that he was slightly reassured.

The assistant may be right - provided that the twelve ships can catch up with each other.

On the uncertain sea, the Flying Santsina raised its sails fore and backward, and the sailors and captains, who had mastered their skills in chasing pirates, were now able to ensure that the Flying Santsina sailed all the way to Neustria without turning, no matter which direction the wind was blowing.

"Before you set off, you clearly promised to obey the command of a qiē operation!" On the deck, there were people who thundered.

"I've listened to the command!"

"Our target is just the Pope, how did those two come here?"

"This ...... Hehe...... Don't you think they have big gems on them, and their clothes are embroidered with real gold threads? "The amber eyes are full of innocent little eyes, and you really can't blame him! For a pirate who has been robbing for most of his life, and who has just changed careers, is still a pagan who has "temporarily converted", he is already very restrained if he does not take the opportunity to carry the church door back together!

"Nonsense! Swear black is white.! What do you do with these two people? The other party obviously didn't think that this could constitute any reason.

Finally, the archbishop interrupted the quarrel and arranged a way for the two to go: "Carry the letter back for us!" ”

It is the word of mouth.

"Repent, men of the Holy See, and quickly forsake the gold that has made you into sin—two thousand pounds plus the archbishop's shawl, for your pope."

Dear, what are you waiting for, just two thousand pounds and a shawl, you can bring the Pope home! (To be continued......)
