071. False Priest Upp
At the royal table, there was a king's armor and a spear, as well as a king's sword.
This is the equipment he used to participate in the Second Crusade, the helmet has a golden tail of a feathered horse, the cuirass is painted with gold paint, and the scabbard of the king's sword is also painted with melted gold.
When he went to war, the heretics also called him the "Golden Knight".
At that time, the crusaders divided the land according to how much territory they had conquered and how much they contributed to the annihilation of the enemy.
If he hadn't been dragged back by Deman and dragged down in an important battle, otherwise there are several cities in the Sinai Peninsula today, which would have to be divided under Bavarian governance.
It was also that battle that made him an unforgivable rival with Deman for the rest of his life.
The viper touched his armor, remembered the glory, and even hummed the song that the bard of the country had written for himself at that time.
"He was an example of a knight for his valor in his battles, his reputation unsurpassed, his defense of the kingdom's territory, his sword and his blessing of God......"
……
Winter turns to spring, and the snow on the border between Swabia and Bavaria is not deep, so there are more opportunities for crowd movement.
Although the border is in turmoil, there are also mountain people and hunters who come out in search of food.
Fetterick stood on the mountainside, occasionally seeing tiny black spots, presumably hunters.
He led a hundred men to guard this mountain checkpoint, which cost eighty-four men to die and one hundred to be wounded, and captured a member of the Swabian royal family.
This man's name is Agon, he is rude, he is very powerful, he is not an opponent one-on-one, a brute force warrior, and he can only take down this brave man by himself with a distant weapon.
Cardina was also in the battle to capture the level, this Yagang also injured Cardinay's waist with a sword, Cardina was almost stopped and broken, as soon as he caught this person, the angry Cardinai immediately asked Yagon's tail finger to be cut off and vent his anger.
Agang was also very hard-hearted, insisting on not making a noise and scolding.
Cardinay then took the royal family to the rear to take care of it, and used it as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Swabia.
Emissaries from both sides have been dispatched for negotiations, and it is believed that there will be a response soon.
A member of the royal family, if he is lucky, should be able to stop fighting.
He didn't know that this man was Bran's uncle, otherwise he would have discouraged his companions from cutting off the royal family's fingers when he was caught.
After all, there is a life-saving grace.
The mountain wind is howling.
Frederick was dressed in an extremely thick fit and didn't feel too cold, and he occasionally turned his gaze to the other side, closer to the mountainous block of the royal capital.
My sister doesn't know what's going on, when will she be able to return to the royal capital? When will you get revenge?
Whenever he thinks of his kind and gentle sister, Frederick smiles childlike and innocent.
"Queen Mother, please bless me......"
Frederick prayed to the heavens, and in his thoughts, he reminded the little bell of the meal, which rang regularly in the valley.
In addition to hunting, the rest of the food in the valley during the war was very common, vegetable soup, mountain fruits, and wheat cakes.
As soon as the cook finished serving, the hungry soldier gulped and feasted, while Frederick domesticated his eagle.
Such thin wings could fly over a hundred miles of airspace, which made him envious, fed him a few pieces of meat, let him circle back and forth, and withdrew his hand before Frederick went to eat.
As the presiding officer, his food was better, with a plate of steaming wild boar.
The skin is golden brown and crispy, steaming with grease.
A food assistant helped him cut the pieces.
At the same time as Frederick was preparing to eat, two cavalrymen suddenly entered the post at the foot of the mountain.
When he heard the alarm, he didn't hurry, he took a big bite before speaking, and while chewing, he calmly put on his armor and walked towards the wooden door.
Everyone in the level is in a fighting position, the archers are ready to shoot arrows, and if there is a bird with no long eyes hovering in the air, it can be shot down.
The outsider didn't look like an enemy, and there were six shooters standing on three watchtowers, just two, and he couldn't even withstand the first attack.
"It's a friendly army."
The sentry shouted after seeing the two riders hand over the pass tokens stamped by Cardinay.
And hearing this, the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.
They were still thinking of drinking more vegetable soup to warm their stomachs, and they all looked at Frederick together, waiting for the chief officer to lift his guard, and was about to rush back to grab the rest of the food.
Freitrick dismissed with a voice, and then waited for the two riders to dismount and walk up the steps.
When facing each other, one of the two riders pulled out a letter.
"I am Maximi Amway from the royal court, a knight-apprentice, and my uncle is Sir Sanjeef Amway, who is now a valet of the royal court, and I have met His Royal Highness."
"There has been no prince for a long time, and I have been removed, Your Excellency."
The apprentice knight was not considered a nobleman, but Frederick still used the honorific title for the rider.
"What is the matter with you coming here from the warm royal court in the cold wind?"
"Your Highness, there are a lot of people here, can you come into the room to talk?"
"Come on."
Freitrick led the two riders to his officer's quarters.
Maximi ordered the people around him to go out, and there was only one time left. He took out the letter from his body.
"The imperial letter from Your Majesty has been sent to you by me, and no one has seen it so far."
Father's letter!
The simple and thin paper seal, like a sharp blade, slowly deepened Frederick's hand, and his heart was worried.
Banish me again? Still is......
"I'll wait outside the house, if you have any questions, just call me."
Maximi received a very strict knightly education, and he was not curious about things that should not be seen or heard.
He closed the door and waited outside.
Freitrick removed the fire wax and opened it nervously, the letter containing only a few short sentences.
"Bring people back, the royal family needs to use people, and you have the opportunity to prove your worth again."
While a fire was burning in the house, Frederick crumpled the paper balls and threw them into the flames.
I've finally waited for this day!
……
Forty kilometres from the Frederick checkpoint, a peaceful village undisturbed by the flames of war.
In a small, newly built wooden church, 26 villagers are listening to a priest's lecture.
The villagers all know that the priest went to the big city to receive donations and came back to build the project.
As soon as they are free, the villagers will come here to pay their respects.
"When you pray, don't be like the hypocrite, who deliberately makes ...... visible"
"Even if you don't understand the scriptures, you can feel the grace of the Lord bathing in your heart with a heart of fraternity......
The priest's tone was gentle, and the villagers were fascinated by it, even if they didn't understand.
After hearing this, the villagers thanked them and left, leaving down a few bags of wild vegetables and wheat, as well as a carton of eggs - the best they could come up with.
Father "Upp" did not want any of this, it was the result of the hard work of the peasants, he went into the house, opened the drawer, and took out the money for the activities that Frederick had given him last time, and there were still a dozen silver coins and some copper coins left.
Recently, the place has been subject to forced taxes from Swabia and Bavaria.
Every family had no food left, but they prayed sincerely.
Upu took it with him, intending to distribute it to the poorest of the households.
From the Austrian "false priest" who went into hiding here at the beginning, he has become a real priest today.
In recent months, he has only practiced swordsmanship a few times.
