306 Who's the Boss
The monks present were still arrogant and laughing at each other unscrupulously, and at this moment they all held their breath as if they had been stabbed in the neck, and the faces of the young archbishop standing opposite them were still so calm, but in their eyes, the other party was no longer a ridiculous idiot, but a most terrible demon.
He killed the dean!
He's not here to put his mouth shut!
He...... It's here to kill the dean......
This is an easy reasoning to make.
He killed the dean...... He really killed the dean......
This is a hard truth to accept.
He wasn't going to play the game according to the rules of the Great Abbey - he was here to flip the table!
So...... So...... The unprepared monks, who did not know that the archbishop had committed such a violent act as robbing the Pope, were blank in their minds, but their senses were incomparably acute, they could hear the wind of hunting on Lake Sinstri, they could hear the howling pine waves on the island of Podnar, they could hear the croaking of chickens, ducks and lambs at hand, and they could hear the incessant sound of metal crashing - the peasants who had been dumb just a moment ago seemed to draw their metal weapons in unison. The sharp blades glistened ominously in the cold sunlight - and they could hear their own heavy breathing and pounding heartbeats.
This qiΔ stiffness reached their ears and their hearts, clear and uncluttered, but after a few breaths, all the monks thought of the question - how long can I live?
"Bang!" The body of the abbot of the Great Abbey fell, and his precious dark sable coat was stained with flying dust, but at this moment. What monk cares about such a trivial matter? When their lives are at stake, who cares about purple robes and gold? Who cares about a dead person?
Run!
Hats, cloaks, relics, and scriptures were scattered all over the ground in an instant. But they were nothing more than a group of high-ranking monks who had been blessed in the grand convent for many years. Thanks to the blessing of the First Missionary Saints, who have been far away from war and chaos, although there are many affiliated noble knights who have basically not participated in duels and wars, and only make money by forging documents and mouth cannons, how can they be the opponents of professional soldiers who have been trained to rob monasteries?
"What a luxury!" Adair sighed, and the cunning amber-eyed former pirate leader had finally stepped into the Great Abbey of his dreams, which was even more splendid than anyone had described it to him, and it was evident that the wealth of the Great Abbey had increased a lot over the years since the monk of the Abbey of Atbayd had visited. During these years, the Neustrian kingdom suffered from wars and disarrays, but the Grand Abbey enjoyed all the glory and wealth through the suffering of the country and its people - for example, the collapse of the Neustrian navy caused the previous king to retreat to the Grand Abbey, which made the entire Neustrian kingdom even more fragmented and powerless, but greatly enriched the fame and treasures of the Great Abbey, which was adorned with jewels around the neck of the abbot from the crown of the unfortunate king.
The young archbishop shook his head, after so many people had suffered so much in the mortal world. Pinning their last hope on the illusory paradise, the monks of the Great Abbey not only deceived them of the last copper plate in the name of paradise, but also sought to rob the orphans' inheritance, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are vampires. Ah. Isn't he himself a similar victim? He lost both his parents at such a young age, and he was unfortunate enough, but even his ancestral property and even his personal life that could have been relied on for his life were taken by the church. almost lost his life, and was almost humiliated......
"I'll be the first to stab you." Upon learning that Her Majesty the Queen finally made "the Great Monastery must be cut off as a traitorous base." Plague the country", he took the initiative to ask for help.
"Ugh. Although I know that you really want to inherit your father's business and use a knife to cut the territory, but this kind of thing is cutting people and robbing the monastery, isn't it better for a professional person to do it......" Luo Yi The Great Demon King didn't feel that she, the chief servant, was as pure as her appearance, she knew that he was from a revolutionary family that killed pigs, so she would not be deceived by the other party's beautiful appearance like a lily, not to mention, she was still very impressed by being chased and killed by him wielding a paper knife, No matter how Yan Kong is, he will not really regard the other party as a white lotus that is extremely pure and has never touched a knife or seen blood, but he has never killed anyone, will something go wrong when the time comes? It's better to let old experts like Francis and Adair do it to be safe! Her archbishop, it's enough to let go of the cannon to trick the door of the convent open, and let the professionals come to kill people!
"Nope! I've got to stab me first! The young archbishop looked resolute and determined that I would not go to hell who would go to hell, "You don't know, the Great Monastery is famous in the Kingdom of Neustria, it is the first great monastery in the kingdom, and it is said that it was built by the first missionary saint. If we were only to rob the monastery, it would be enough for either Francis or Adair, but we are notβuhβnot just for the monastery, but for the elimination of the reactionary forces lurking in the Church in Neustria! All the people in Neustria are watching us! If I don't cut the first one, they will be clever enough to think it's an ordinary robbery, and cover their heads, thinking that there is an ambiguous third way to choose from! They have to recognize the reality and know that we are not (just) there to rob, but to get rid of the guys who eat inside and out! Teach them not to think that by putting on a religious robe gives them the privilege of ignoring secular government, and that the clean-up from the church is more severe! I must lead the way, and the blood must be to me, so that they will not get away with it, thinking that they can intimidate the laity in the name of God and the saints, and teach us to be timid! β
I sow, this kind of thing of cutting people and robbing monasteries can be said by you so righteously, impassionedly, taking the lead, and calmly doing justice...... I obeyed you...... BY Big Demon King.
I'm so moved, my lord gave the blood of the murder to himself, this is making a sacrifice for us, BY a certain knight.
Have you ever seen murder and arson and still be able to maintain the status of the White Lotus Madonna, I have seen BY Adair.
However, I was moved. The Great Demon King Luo Yi felt that there were some things that had to be declared and verified, "Can you cut someone?" I know your family roots. Blood isn't dizzy, but after all, you're not trained to cut people. β
"As long as the target is not smaller than the chief of staff." After several brawls and internships with the chief of staff as the target at the court meeting, the archbishop was very confident in his combat ability, "I just need to ensure that the first slash is enough, after all, my task is to clear my position, not to grab people's heads." β
"Good, though...... Can you really hit me, you didn't hit me in the first place? Although asking the same question again and again seems to be a bit questioning the other party's ability, but when it comes to military affairs, Luo Yi believes that it is still necessary to confirm this matter. If the time comes, the knife will be missed, and the blow to morale will probably not be small.
The other party answered this question relatively quietly - in fact, it was very quiet, and the Great Demon King had to get closer to hear the answer - "Uh...... In fact, the knife never thought of slashing ...... at all."
ββ¦β¦ I see......"
The plan was thus determined, and the specific plan of action was made by the General Staff, and the Grand Abbey had a vast sphere of influence and a large number of knights and soldiers attached to it, unlike the Minor Abbeys that had no power to resist. Therefore, they first sent a warning, both salute first and then soldier, and after receiving the warning, the great monastery shrank its forces and waited for reinforcements, and the perimeter was empty. The new government's task force took advantage of the situation to mobilize the masses, and then it was simple, and the mobilized people took the initiative to deliver false information to them. The troops guarding the convent were coaxed out and eaten one by one, and in the end, it was the archbishop with a team of agents disguised as peasants. Lead the way by two local guides and lure the gates open with a ridiculously comical show. Complete the finishing work of capturing the Grand Abbey, the base of royalist influence of the Church of Neustria, which has high walls and deep ditches.
This strategy was partly a combination of Adair's previous plan to capture the Great Abbey, and partly a summary of the new government's previous experience in clearing the fortresses of the nobles in various places. There is nothing new in itself, but "the plan is not new, as long as it is useful." Adair said triumphantly as he strolled through the atrium of the Great Abbey.
He followed the archbishop into the main chapel of the convent, and although it was not the first time he had entered, he was amazed by the luxury and comfort inside.
Marble pillars and inlaid ceilings, stained glass windows, gold icons, altars, candlesticks, etc., not to mention the floors, and even the floors are covered with the white furs of snow bears from the Far North, which are laid from the altar pulpit all the way to the door, these furs bought from distant lands can absorb the sun's rays and warm the soles of the monks' feet on cold winter days, but at a ...... cost. Needless to say.
The two worlds that lived in the huts attached to the Great Monastery were diametrically opposed worlds, though they belonged to the same earth, but the difference was as far away as heaven and hell, no, this great monastery, which had never been worried about war, seemed to be in two dimensions with the suffering kingdom of Neustria......
However, the former pirate leader Adair naturally did not think of this layer, and while he admired the luxury and luxury of the interior of the Great Abbey, he only thought of the means of the new government, and he praised to the archbishop what he saw: "Honestly, I have robbed not a hundred churches and monasteries, but I have never seen such a well-organized, vigorous and righteous robbery, rich in harvest and basically without loss or theft!" I'll mess with you after the boss! β
ββ¦β¦ Her Majesty is our boss. β
"Well, she's our leader," Adair whispered to the archbishop, "but I don't see her rob anyone." β
"She robbed me."
"Scared! This...... How could it be ......" Adair said blankly, he still remembered how ferocious and persistent the archbishop robbed him on the way to the Eternal City, forcibly pushed the Turkulani, and finally snatched the Pope home, he really couldn't imagine how the queen who was often stupid and said things like "Will I be condemned for selling pirates", "Will I rob the church arouse the opposition of the church", "Will I rob the pope and kill the whole family", how can she snatch such a murderous piece of goods inside, "She really robbed you?" β
According to her occasional stupid Cheng dΓΉ (if she was often stupid, Adair would have considered cutting her a long time ago) was confused for a while, and picked up the wolf as a sheep and went home, it's almost the same!
"Really." Seeing that the cunning former pirate leader was dumbfounded by the news, the archbishop added: "She also robbed the country, didn't she?" But, I think, for me and for my country, it's a very fortunate thing. β
"Although I know how she is king, I still have a hard time believing it."
"It doesn't matter, slowly you will believe." Anyway, I didn't believe it at the beginning, I said that I quarreled with her more times than with the chief of staff, who believed me? So I don't force you to believe it now, and I don't think she will.
He ended the brief conversation between the two of them, and when he took the lead out of the dark convent church, the sun was shining on the people outside, and it was warm. (To be continued......)
