Chapter 228: A Terrifying Battle Situation (Part II)
>,!
The huge army that could not be seen at a glance, and the neatly arranged military formation just formed an arc to surround the Guillotine Valley. ←,
Although these soldiers in cloth armor were far from the elite of the Templar Order, there were 20,000 people watching them, and such a large and well-trained army was definitely enough to pose a threat to the Order.
The tall man at the front of the army was clad in a military coat, and his only eye was full of ambition.
The Crusader Commander Igniz, an old friend and an old rival.
The emir looked back, but he felt both paradoxical and ironic when he saw the inferior cavalry hiding behind the crusaders.
"Neo, you go and meet him, and if he is rebellious, I don't mind the bloody crusaders", he turned his horse's head back to the valley.
Neo nodded and waved his hand to signal the others to retreat to the valley as well, and asked in a cold voice by beating his horse alone: "Igniz, the knights were ordered to strangle the puppeteers, do you want to rebel when you cut us off at this time?"
Igniz smiled, put his right hand to his heart, and bowed: "Deputy Commander Neo misunderstood, this army didn't want to meddle in the affairs here, but the noble inferior cavalry team had to take care of it."
"Huh?", Neo looked at the inferior cavalry in the middle army.
"Last night the inferior cavalry team came overnight, saying that you forcibly entered the Valley of Guillotine regardless of their lives or deaths, and also wounded Captain Sam, the deputy commander, who has the noble Lennon blood, is it true?",
Neo sneered: "The Knights have nothing to do with the Crusaders, you should withdraw immediately and bring this group of 'noble' cavalry back."
The sarcasm in her words was so obvious. Even a fool can hear it.
Igniz shook his head: "Deputy Commander." According to Captain Sam's description, I have good reason to doubt the loyalty and competence of the Knights, and from now on, this army will assist the Knights in encircling the puppeteers and bringing back the lost gold of the Meyer family".
Bastard, the fox's tail is finally revealed.
Neo felt a chill in his heart, damn the inferior cavalry. Damn the crusaders, how could the Holy See keep these two armies? One is specifically responsible for dragging its feet, and the other is directly a white-eyed wolf.
She said coldly: "Ignaz, I repeat, the Knights are solely responsible for the affairs here, and anyone who dares to meddle is an enemy of the Knights",
She gave him a warning look and retreated into the valley, where four more Templars were guarded in shifts behind the goat's head stele.
The situation outside the valley was soon passed by Jessoth, the inferior cavalry, and the Stitching Beast. The Prisoner of Fire passed to Roger and Corvo.
It was a peculiar intelligence network that Roger had already set up when he brought the inferior cavalry back to the valley.
No one could have predicted it. This war was not only started by him, it can be said that he created it single-handedly, the gold of the Meyer family, and the extortion of the nobles of St. Panin were all aimed at speeding up the pace of the Holy See's crusade against him.
He knew that the Holy See would send the Knights to conquer the Valley of the Guillotine, because the Holy See had no other armies available, and he also knew that the initiative in this war was not in the hands of the Holy See, but in his hands.
This gold can attract many people, and the Knights, Crusaders, and Funerary Cults are among them.
He wanted to create this war that would soon end, a war that would completely change the situation on the continent, so he gave those nobles a deadline of thirty days.
The inferior cavalry was undoubtedly an important pawn for him.
"Last night Jessos led the inferior cavalry to 'ask for help' from the crusaders according to the plan, the crusaders did not rebel openly, and the inferior cavalry's request for help gave him the best excuse to send troops, the knights have already suffered from the enemy, and the opponent of the knights from beginning to end is not us, but the crusaders who can fight him",
Roger sat at the mouth of the cave, looking at the stitched beasts that flew by from time to time.
"Will they fight?" said Corvo, "Although the Crusaders have bad intentions, they have to think carefully in the face of the Knights".
Roger nodded and said: "They will definitely fight, otherwise the trial created by the Crusaders, the Burial Cult and Augustine will be in vain, and once the Knights get the gold of the Meyer family, the Crusaders' ambitions to be independent of the Holy See will be suppressed for I don't know how long, Igniz will never let go of this opportunity",
His gaze was even colder, the trial was the pain of his life, and in the end he was just an innocent victim at the center of the maelstrom of conspiracy.
"I don't think 20,000 Crusaders can outwit the Knights Templar, or even that they can inflict too many casualties on the Knights," said Corvo.
Anyone who has seen the Knights' Warriors is intimidated by his might, this is the most elite army on the mainland, and they are invincible.
Roger smiled.
"Doctor, you must not know the Templar Order's biggest concern, he may not dare to come forward when the Knights have the upper hand, but he will never let go of this rare opportunity."
"I don't think people make mistakes, that person has gone completely astray, and compared to me, he is more worthy of the name of 'demon',
He looked up at the gradually gloomy sky, and the corners of his mouth hooked an arc: "The night will witness my means, and the darkness of tonight will be very long",
The Knights found two more vaults in the Bomberman Alliance, buried in the ground of the original residence of Jessos, and the vaults contained 1,300 catties of gold.
Both Emir and Neo felt heavy when they discovered these two vaults, they could no longer be happy to find the lost gold of the Meyer family, it was clearly a conspiracy.
The Emir immediately ordered the news to be blocked, but the news of the Knights' discovery of the two vaults spread anyway.
In the tent outside the valley, the Crusader Commander Igniz tapped lightly on the table, and in front of him lay two letters, one unsigned and the envelope was ordinary, but the other had a pure white angel wings insignia on it.
Igniz pondered for a moment, and soon he put on his military coat and walked out of the camp.
He looked at the goat's head tablet not far away, and the four Templars guarding behind the goat's head tablet saw him first.
It was impossible to escape the sight of the four Earth Knights first, but Igniz didn't seem to avoid them, and he smiled and looked behind the four Templars.
A black shadow appeared silently behind the knight at the rear, and the earth knight didn't notice it, and then the black shadow made a move, and the short sword in his hand was inserted into the throat of the earth knight in a flash, and the earth knight's pupils contracted suddenly, and then fell straight down.
With one blow and four swords in a row, the four Earth Knights died silently in an instant, and the black shadow glanced at Igniz from a distance and quickly retreated into the darkness.
Igniz waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him began to give orders, and soon all the soldiers in the camp gathered and marched in the darkness towards the Valley of the Severed Head. (To be continued......)
