Chapter 105: Good Offices

Marven and Michelle hurriedly whipped up, and the Warcraft War Horse under their crotch walked like a fly, and finally arrived at the pioneer camp outside Iru Town at nightfall. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After resting for most of the night, early the next morning, Michelle rode his horse and came to the city gate alone.

"Who, stop!" With a loud shout from the city, two black crossbow arrows were stuck diagonally on the ground in front of Michelle, one left and one right, and he had to take off the reins and take off his helmet.

"Friend of the Moses, I am the guardian knight of Utan, Michel Wittman! Please say hello to Elder Liched and the Holy Maiden Isis on my behalf, I have something important to see!"

"It's Mr. Michelle!" the guards in the city all whispered, and then sent someone to quickly deliver the news to the city.

In an exquisite temple in the center of Iru Town, Liched squinted his eyes slightly, and after listening to the guards' report, he snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "Even Michelle, a hairy boy, came to be a lobbyist for them, I thought he was so kind and upright before, it seems that those heretics who believe in false gods are really a raccoon dog!"

"Elder, how shall we reply to Mr. Michelle and invite him in?" the guard asked respectfully.

Lihid's eyes widened suddenly, and he stared at the guard coldly, and stood up from his seat with a "huo".

The guards were stunned by the actions of their elders, and they prostrate on the ground, not daring to come out.

"That knight has already served the army of St. John's Empire, and is a lobbyist for them! You still respect him so much, and what means should you use to deal with the infidels, do you want me to teach you?"

"Yes, Elder!" the guard was dripping with cold sweat on his forehead, "I'll mobilize the elite crossbowmen right now and ...... Michelle Oh no, kill that heretic on the spot!"

"Wait!" the guards had just reached the door, when they heard a coquettish shout, and the veiled Saint Isis walked in through the side door.

"Father, are you acting too arbitrarily until you have figured out the situation!" Isis looked at Elder Lichid angrily.

Looking at his daughter, who was as holy and noble as a fairy, Liched sighed slightly, "It is undeniable that Michelle is a good man, and he also saved our lives from the iron heels of the imperial army, but, Isis, my child, don't forget, that knight is a heretic after all, as a holy woman who serves the true God, are you willing to believe in a person who does not believe in the true God?"

"I'm willing to believe him, father!" Isis stepped forward and said reluctantly, "If Michelle wanted to harm us, we should have been burned at the stake by those Templars a year ago, and after the outbreak of the Holy War, he tried to avoid the conscription of the Holy John's Empire and avoid becoming our enemy." We should believe in his character, and differences in faith should never be a reason for us to be suspicious of him!"

Lihid closed his eyes slightly, his daughter had always been stubborn, and what she really decided, even his father couldn't persuade at all.

Michelle waited outside the city for a full hour before the gates of Iru finally opened slowly.

After being allowed into the city, Michelle breathed a sigh of relief, and with the guards, he was quickly led into a two-story conference building outside the temple in the center of town.

Upon entering the hall, Michelle's eyes were immediately drawn to Isis, who was sitting in the center of the crowd, and despite her veil, the young knight was instantly recognizable, having met this beautiful and holy girl a year earlier during a brutal massacre unleashed by the Templars.

He will never forget that thrilling night, when the pastor of the church issued a purge order to a group of unarmed villagers, it was the weak girl in front of him who stood in front of the iron hooves of the imperial knights.

With the wave of the wand, the moment the ice crystals that filled the sky were summoned, the woman in front of her was like an angel descending from the earth, holy and noble.

In the face of a hundred knights, this beautiful sorceress had no chance of winning, but she was determined to write the most poignant elegy with her life.

Eventually, as a Guardian Knight, he was moved by compassion, and at the last moment he stopped the Templar charge, challenging the leader of the Templars in order to protect the woman in front of him, who seemed to have come out of mythology.

The knight leader had already reached the realm of a paladin, and his martial arts cultivation was far superior to him, but after a thrilling battle, he finally picked him off the horse in a one-on-one duel with his strange body and flexible tactics......

A slight cough from the side interrupted Michelle's recollection, and he quickly removed his helmet and gave a knightly salute to Isis, Elder Liched, and the stern-looking Rebel Commander.

"Mr. Michelle, we welcome you in Iru Town, but if Your Excellency has come to persuade us to let go of the Illuminati priest, then don't blame us for not being able to fulfill the friendship of the landlords!" the Rebel Commander stood up and saluted back, his cold and resolute words leaving no room for negotiation.

Michelle smiled slightly, and looked up at the young commander in front of him, he was probably not yet thirty years old, dressed in a well-made Mithril armor, with a handsome face and a burly body, and a pair of falcon-like eyes that exuded a fierce gaze from time to time.

"If my guess is correct, your Excellency is Mr. Garg, and it is my honor to meet the best knights of the Iliad here. ”

"That's right, I'm Garg. The commander looked proud, and seemed to be very useful for Michelle's compliment.

Michelle stepped forward and continued: "Okay, Mr. Garge, you are also a young and promising military commander, I take the liberty of asking, now that the relationship between the Illuminati and the Moses Religion is so tense, what benefit can you bring by continuing to imprison the military priests of the Holy John Empire?"

Garg snorted coldly and said proudly: "That damned priest led people to destroy our temple and blasphemed the supreme true God, if we don't let him be punished as he deserves, and return the favor to those hypocritical infidels, then the faith of the Moses will not receive any respect from the Holy John's Empire!"

Michelle shook her head, let out a long sigh, and looked around, "Ladies and gentlemen, the Empire of St. John and the Church of Light have invaded your country and arbitrarily interfered with your religious beliefs, and I deeply sympathize and regret what happened to you. But have you ever thought that your refusal to negotiate now will only exacerbate the already sensitive religious conflicts, the Church of Light has lost a priest, but they will soon send a new priest, and they will take even crazier and more cruel retaliatory measures, and at that time, the peace of the Iliad Kingdom will completely cease to exist!"

Garg was silent, as a commander, he knew very well what the revenge of the St. John's Empire meant, with the military power of that superpower, even the most ordinary legion could wipe the tiny Iliad kingdom off the map completely.

Elder Liched on the side touched his thick beard and said unhurriedly: "Michel, I have to admit that you are right, in this kind of war and crisis, we really can't exacerbate the conflict and bring disastrous consequences to the kingdom, but ......" The elder suddenly changed his words," It is precisely because we need peace and tranquility that we need the priest as a bargaining chip, so that the empire and the church have some scruples, rest assured, we will not take the pastor's life, and it is not impossible for us to let him go, unless he converts to our Moses religion and restrains his religious armed group. ”

"But, Elder Richter, a mere military priest will not bring you that value. Michelle shook her head disappreciatively.

"Chaplain?" Liched sneered, "Do you really think he's just a chaplain?" he tossed a badge with an angel motif in front of Michelle.

"This is ......" Michelle's face changed slightly when she saw it.

"This is the coat of arms of the Urban family, the priest is the illegitimate son of the former Grand Duke Urban, do you know who his half-brother is?

Liched leaned his face over Michelle, "Can you still say now that this chaplain has no value?"

Michelle shook her head and smiled bitterly, and after playing with the Urban family crest in her hand, she put it back in front of Lichd.

"Elder Lichd, all I can say is that you don't know much about the Empire and the Church. Michelle sighed lightly and said leisurely: "The Church of Light will not recognize this kind of unruly blood relationship at all, let alone the illegitimate brother of an archbishop, even if it is the illegitimate son of the Pope, in the eyes of the church, it will not have any political value." As for the Empire...... Charlemagne never wanted to be coerced, and in order to win the war, he could even give up the royal family......"

"So, the pastor is just a hot potato in your hands. Michelle shrugged, "He's only going to cause you more trouble." ”

Lihid pondered for a moment, then suddenly snorted coldly, "After all, Michelle, you still came to be a lobbyist for them, although they also have a lot of chips in their hands, and the conditions are very attractive, but how do you make us believe them?" he sighed lightly and lowered his voice, "As you said, there is a deep grudge between the Moses and the Illuminati, what can guarantee that they will not stab us in the back and retaliate afterwards?"

Michelle smiled slightly, and said loudly, "Elder Lichd, it is understandable that you doubt the sincerity of the Pioneer Camp because of your status as a Cultist of Light, but you should not turn a person who does not believe in the God of Light into your enemy. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Lihid couldn't figure out what medicine he was selling in his gourd.

"I might as well tell you a secret, the actual commander of the Pioneer Battalion is an adjutant named Marven, he is actually a member of the Marne Federation, he does not want to go to war with you, and the Pioneer Officer Mance is currently controlled by him with mental magic, I believe you have seen some clues when you met him last time. ”

This news was no less than a bombshell, and everyone in the hall was talking to each other and whispering after learning about it. Liched reflected on the day of negotiations, and could not help but waver.

When he came to negotiate at the invitation of the other party, he found that the other party's big and small matters were completely decided by the deputy vanguard officer, and he felt strange at that time, but he did not study it in detail, and only thought that the other party was insincere and deliberately neglected himself.

In fact, Marven also gave them a lot of hints that day, and Mance was also present during the negotiation, but Liched and the others were too vigilant and ignored them completely, and even thought that the other party was deliberately teasing themselves.

"But, Michelle, after all, this is just your side of the story, it's not that we don't believe you, but such a big thing, we have to tell a proof. Despite believing it in his heart, Lihid remained cautious.

Michel said confidently: "The fact that the inhabitants of Dart Town have not been liquidated is the best evidence, the Pioneer Battalion has been stationed in your country for some days, and you should also know the character of the Pioneer Officer Mance, and there is really no reason for a fanatical jihadist like him to be merciful to the Moses." ”

"If you still don't believe me, you might as well try to meet with the other party first, Miss Isis's magic cultivation is profound, and then, all it takes is a dispel technique to test whether the vanguard officer Mance is really under mind control. Seeing that Liched still had a look of hesitation, Michelle had to say his last advice.

"I believe what Michelle said. Isis got up, moved lightly, and walked to the center of the hall, "We should now negotiate with the other side at once!" )
