Chapter 163: Magic Items
British England
Dozens of large ships sailed on the endless sea, seagulls flew in the sky from time to time, flags from Michael were waved in the wind, the Vatican flag, which symbolized the authority of the Church, and the double-headed eagle flag of the Roman Emperor Henry IV (Holy Rome) were also waved on the sea, and the flag of the Duchy of Normandy was inconspicuous, and the power symbolized by the flag calmed the entire sea level.
Michael's flag meant that Duke William's ships were protected by Michael even if they were sailing on the sea, because their ships were the land of France that moved, so no matter how hostile the Celtic gods were, no matter how dissatisfied the Vikings were, all black magic, curses, and magic could not exert any influence on the Norman duke's fleet, and even terrible natural disasters had to retreat from this fleet's expedition.
The double certification of the Pope and the Holy Roman Emperor gave William's expedition to Britain quite high legitimacy, if Britain was not a pagan country, then William's expedition was not just his claim to the throne of England, but a new crusading "holy war".
Duke William looked at the disarmed and imprisoned queen in the cabin, he stood on the tip of the ship, smelled the salty sea breeze, and smiled slightly, "My dear princess, do you want to disembark with me to see how I conquer your country?" ”
King Arthur's obstacle to him is not a real obstacle, Duke William thinks so, but it is more of a conquest activity, if the adventure of the warrior is not too thrilling, then it is not a great adventure, and the same conquest If the other party is too weak, then it is not a successful conquest.
The conquest of Britain is like the conquest of this noble queen, if the other party is too cooperative, and does not show resistance, it makes Duke William feel bored, although in the end he still gets what he wants, but without the fruits of hard work, it will inevitably make people feel a little unsatisfied.
"The church is really depraved right now." King Arthur looked at the flag of the Vatican Church, which was a yellow and white flag, and on the white banner were the two crossed keys of the Holy Apostle St. Peter (St. Peter), and on top of the keys were triple crowns, and said with mixed feelings.
St. Peter, the original bishop of Rome and the first of the twelve apostles of Jesus, chose to follow Jesus after he was persecuted and killed by the Roman Empire.
St. Peter is the head of all the disciples of Jesus, and the successive Roman popes have regarded themselves as the successors of St. Peter, and the symbol of St. Peter is the two keys that hold the keys from earth to heaven.
This is why the Pope claimed that by paying indulgences to the Church, souls could be relieved of their sins and go directly to Heaven without being judged.
If Duke William was able to get the support of the Roman Emperor because the Roman Emperor wanted to balance France by supporting William as King of England, then the support of the Pope is certainly not a manifestation of the depravity of the Church today.
Duke William did not participate in the Crusades, but conquered the country of fellow Christians, which was not holy, but simply because Duke William bribed the Pope with a large amount of gold, which was a very dirty business.
Duke William smiled disapprovingly at King Arthur's accusations, history has always been written by the victors, and now he has the righteousness of conquering Britain, he shouted, and all the Norman soldiers began to prepare for the landing.
Because he was blocked by King Arthur to Avalon before, so after his disappearance, the morale of the Norman soldiers began to be weakened, which made him feel quite unhappy, his claim to the throne of England was because of his holy cousin, King Saint Edward, so once he died, the Duke of Normandy would not be able to claim the throne of England without the blood of the English royal family.
This was also the reason for the distraction of his army, and during the time he was away, the soldiers even began to consider whether to embrace a new Duke of Normandy, such as the hated Duke of Brittany, Conan.
The soldiers' thoughts made him angry, and at the same time he felt jealous of his duke who was a vassal of the French court, although the Duke of Normandy and the Duke of Brittany were both vassals of the French king, but their circumstances were quite similar, neither was regarded as French, and both had quite strong independent forces, so when facing the French king, they often advanced and retreated together, forming a strategic alliance and tacit understanding with each other.
Although the Duchy of Normandy was too strong, so that the French king had to win over Brittany to balance Normandy, and finally let the two countries turn their faces, but for a period of time, the royal family of the Duchy of Normandy not only married the royal family of England, but also married the royal family of Brittany, so the result of the scarcity of the Normandy royal family led to the fact that unless Duke William had his own son or brother, then Conan, Duke of Brittany, was the first heir to the Duke of Normandy.
"Let's land."
Seeing that he had not received a response from the princess, Duke William took out his marching props, backpack and hat, and whenever he patted on the backpack, a private with six soldiers, all fully armed, appeared as commanders of the army.
Bands of heavily armed soldiers were ready to set out on board, and they saluted the monarch who had summoned him, and in a few moments the magic knapsack had summoned more soldiers than he had brought with him from the Normandy Belt.
Infinite slapping means that an infinite number of soldiers can appear, but of course this is only an ideal idea.
Soldiers are not magic dolls, but living people, and if you want them to obey your orders, you must give them a good salary, in other words, unless you have an infinite amount of money, a lot of treasure, you can call out countless soldiers through your backpack, and invest unlimited money to maintain the size of the army.
This kind of soldier summoned by the magic backpack has good combat effectiveness, and is also extremely loyal to himself, but the disadvantage is that it is quite expensive, although the incarnation of the dragon robbed the treasures of many kings, but whether it is bribing the pope or the emperor, or even bribing the cronies of the French king in the Paris court and building a fleet, the purchase of ordnance and grain and grass has cost him a lot of money, and the money can be described as flowing water, this expedition to Britain, Duke William's military expenses are actually not sufficient, just rely on the canonization of land, Countless empty checks were made to make this expedition.
If he succeeds, his land and wealth will be cashed in, and if he fails, he may be in debt and threatened to rule by armed knights who cannot pay his salary.
King Arthur looked at Duke William's backpack, and a different color appeared in his eyes, because the soldiers summoned by the magic backpack did not need land, titles, official positions, and other vain things, they only recognized money, as long as it was discounted, so for Duke William, the master who was now short of money, the use of the magic backpack was quite limited.
But for Count William, it was completely different, although King Arthur didn't know that Duke William had obtained the treasure of the Hamna Tower in the other world, but she knew that William had obtained the treasure of the dwarf elves, Count William was quite rich, but lacked soldiers, once Count William got the magic backpack, then his shortcomings, force would be made up for to the greatest extent.
"How did you steal this magic backpack?" King Arthur thought to himself, and his eyes looked at Duke William, who was always carrying his magic backpack and backpack with him, and frowned slightly.
There must be a chance.
Duke William couldn't always carry magic props with him, and when he bathed and slept with women, he would always show flaws.
