Chapter 400: Kicking the Ball
>,!
The cavalry escorted the refugees all the way, and they encountered more and more refugees along the way, and the attacks of blood slaves and baby monsters became more frequent. ↖,
In trepidation and terror, they made their way to the city of St. Panin.
When they saw the towering walls and the closed gates, everyone was confused, and no one knew whether it was St. Panin's selfless acceptance or another exile awaited them.
But at least there is hope in everyone's heart.
At this time, the number of refugees had reached as many as 300,000, and when they gathered in the city, even the defenders on the city tower frowned.
Pepin, the flat-faced dwarf, knew about this situation and hurriedly sent someone to convey the news to the Pope.
Soon, the long-awaited figure appeared on the city wall.
The majestic man in the golden robe looked down condescendingly.
The refugees also looked up at him, and various voices reached his ears.
"Your Holiness the Pope, let us go into the city, we have been walking for nine days",
"Yes, this is the only place in the whole continent that is safe, open the city gates and let us in",
The tone was full of pleading, and the eyes were full of pleading.
The incessant suffering made them yearn for St. Panin.
Roger rode forward, walked within the range of the archers on the city wall, glanced at the clean city wall and the four fields, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, the whole continent has been attacked by hell, but there is not even a single baby monster corpse under the city of St. Panin, what is the reason for this?",
The short Piping couldn't help but pick the corner of his eye.
This is undoubtedly his question. At the beginning, the Groot family's cavalry and baby monsters came to the city at the same time. They are also ready for a hard fight. But I didn't expect that the group of baby monsters didn't even look at St. Panin and walked around the city.
So far, they haven't had a single dispute.
The Pope said majestically: "The holy city is blessed by God, how dare hell offend",
He looked at Roger contemptuously and said, "It's you, I've already negotiated with hell, as long as you cut yourself, they will withdraw immediately, you have already done a lot of evil." Why don't you die and wash away your sins?",
Roger laughed and said, "I have killed a lot of people, but they are nothing compared to you."
"What's more, this time I came to escort them, and since the Holy See is so kind, let these refugees go into the city."
The Pope and Fatima couldn't help but sneer in their hearts.
The damn puppeteer has a good calculation, and if he opens the city gate this time, I'm afraid it won't be these refugees who will be the first to enter. It is the cavalry of the Groot family, and with the strength of this group of cavalry, I am afraid that St. Panin will soon change hands.
But if these refugees are not allowed in. The already crumbling Holy See is about to get worse.
He actually rebelled so quickly.
Glancing at the group of cavalry, Barbery and Oga were both impressively in the ranks.
The prophet Fatima sneered: "The Holy See treats the people of the mainland equally, and will naturally let them in, but you don't want to take advantage of this opportunity to make trouble, as long as your cavalry retreats ten miles, and you, Roger, immediately cut yourself under the city, I will immediately open the city gate and let them in",
How Roger kicked the ball and how she kicked it back.
This woman, who can be called the most powerful woman in the mainland, has never been stupid.
The Pope glanced at her with satisfaction.
I thought it would be Roger who would be the one who had a headache now, but he didn't seem to mind at all, smiled and turned over and dismounted: "Okay, if I can make the war stop with my life, I don't mind self-determination",
"However, I also have one condition", he changed his words, glanced at the Pope contemptuously and said: "As long as you judge yourself in front of me, I will immediately judge yourself under the city",
The hearts of several people on the city wall sank.
The refugees in the rear were also stunned, and then there was a lot of discussion.
The Pope snorted coldly: "Joke, you are a pariah, you also want to exchange your life with me?
Roger smiled and said: "Your Excellency, you are wrong, you sacrificed yourself, in exchange for not only my life, but also the lives of thousands of people in the mainland, I, Roger, have long been born without love, and I have only lived until now to take revenge, as long as you die, I will die with peace of mind, how can I exchange?",
He put his hands behind his back and looked calm.
But the Pope's face was already covered with a layer of frost, and he didn't expect Roger to be so determined.
And 300,000 pairs of eyes behind him were staring at them.
Not only that, Roger's voice had spread far away into the city of St. Panin through the source power, and even the people in the city looked at the towering city walls.
Seeing that the Pope had a calm face and did not speak, Roger smiled and said: "If you are afraid that I am insidious and cunning, and I will steal my life after you die, then it doesn't matter, you and I are both flesh and blood, it's a big deal to exchange one person and one knife, from hands and feet to neck, five knives to end your life, how about I come first?",
As he spoke, he pulled out the golden knife in his sleeve, the cloak was open, and he stabbed his thigh with his backhand, and then pulled out the golden knife, and the blood on his thigh was immediately pouring out.
An exclamation sounded behind him.
No one expected him to stab himself without even blinking an eye.
Oga and Barberi also secretly said, this kid is really ruthless.
Roger dropped a short knife in his sleeve and threw it to the Pope on the city tower, and said with a playful smile: "It's your turn",
The dagger fell at the Pope's feet with a "clang", but the hand behind his back trembled slightly.
Thousands of pairs of eyes in front of and behind him immediately moved to him, and everyone wanted to know how this man who stood at the pinnacle of power on the mainland would take it.
No one made a sound, and it was terriblely quiet inside and outside the city.
The Pope, who was already at a disadvantage, was under double pressure, and he glanced at Fatima, who was also gloomy and helpless.
Roger has undoubtedly made concessions, it can be said that as long as he self-harms his hands and feet, Roger has to commit suicide under the city, but how much courage does it take for the Pope, who has been clothed and fed since he was a child and has not even suffered a knife wound, to self-harm?
He glanced at Roger with a gloomy face, turned and walked down the tower.
Yes, he is gone, this pope, who is known as the head of all peoples and loves the people like a son, is actually gone.
He walked past a soldier who was defending the city, surrounded by the congregation, and walked past the crowd gathered in the street, and he saw the mocking or disappointed looks of these people, but he still walked without hesitation.
"How could this be, did he leave us like this?",
"Don't you even open the gates?",
"Why? Why is the Pope inferior to even the notorious puppeteer?",
The 300,000 refugees outside the city were so desperate that the Pope abandoned them, and the gates of the city were still closed.
The man under the city was still standing, and the deep stab didn't seem to hurt him hard.
"Coward", he suddenly turned around with a smile, ignoring the blood bubbling from the wound and said loudly: "Brothers, siege the city". (To be continued......)
