Chapter 312: Majestic
As soon as Roddy returned to Duke Tulip's Mansion, Nicole had already run out of it, frowning and a little sad in her eyes. [Full text reading]
"Roddy, I just heard that you sent people to surround the church of the church, and imprisoned all the people in the church?"
Roddy smiled.
After all, sending troops to surround the church and imprison the people of the Church has not passed for hundreds of years! Even in the era of the Abbasid Emperor's coup, he did not dare to be disrespectful to the Church. ”
Luo Di thought about it seriously, and smiled: "Don't worry, there will be no problem, I do this, I'm afraid it's too late for someone to be happy now......" After a pause, Luo Di seemed to say to himself: "I'm afraid that old guy sent someone to come, and he didn't go anywhere else, but he just ran to Xiqiu to make trouble, just calculate that I will come out to help him fan the flames." ”
After carefully explaining a few words to Nicole to reassure her, she went in to change her clothes and eat something. Although Nicole was relieved by Roddy, she still seemed a little melancholy. The light moon dance looked nonchalantic, and said: "Those guys from the Divine Sect, if it's closed, it's closed, what's the big deal!
Luo Di couldn't help but laugh, and then remembered that the Light Moon Dance was from the Silver Moon Clan. That's the descendant of the genuine Kara, and the Divine Cult has an uncommon enmity with the Kingdom of Extermination, and the mention of the Divine Cult is naturally a gritted tooth.
After drinking a cup of oriental-style tea brewed by Miao Ge, Luo Di walked into a study in the courtyard, and then sent someone to find the old man, the representative of the villagers.
The old man had already come to the Tulip Courtyard, and had been waiting outside, and when he came in at this moment, he pretended to be calm on his face, but his eyes were spinning.
Luo Di smiled lightly and said, "Please take a seat." I've always had a lot of respect for the elderly. ”
After a pause, Luo Di seemed to ask nonchalantly, "Have all those villagers retreated?"
"Lord Marquis, under your majesty, no one in Xiqiu City dares to disobey your orders. Rest assured, you're gone. Everyone has dispersed, and I am grateful for your justice!"
Luo Di sneered twice: "Is it fair? I'm afraid not." ”
The old man's eyes rolled around, and a set of flattering words slipped out, and Roddy didn't interrupt him, just listened to him quietly. Only then did he suddenly raise his eyebrows, and a burst of murderous aura suddenly emanated from his body!
The old man was startled and almost fell off his chair. In a trembling voice, "What do you mean by this, Lord Duke?"
Roddy narrowed his eyes, although his face was calm, but the slightest chill on his body made the old man's forehead full of sweat.
"What's your name?"
"Hmmm......"
After hesitating, Roddy snorted: "Say it quickly!!"
"Old Lennon!" the old man replied involuntarily when he heard Roddy's interruption.
"Where are you?"
"On the outskirts of Zolen, Xiqiu Province. ”
"Age!"
"Fifty-four!"
The power of Roddy is getting more and more pressing, and the degree of questioning is getting faster and faster, forcing the old guy to be unable to see through it at all. Roddy asked the last question, which was all about irrelevant questions. In one breath, he asked, "What is your position in Andy Express!"
Regional Editor-in-Chief Liaison...... Ah!!" The old man didn't have time to think, blurted out reflexively, and suddenly screamed, his face turned pale, and he glared at Roddy in surprise.
Roddy showed a smile at this time, slowly stood up and walked over, patted the old guy on the shoulder as if comforting, and said gently: "Okay, okay, don't be surprised, since you are from Andy Express, then no matter what you say here, it is safe." ”
The old guy opened his mouth wide and said in a trembling voice, "You...... You're the devil!"
Roddy shook his head and smiled, "I said, you don't have to be afraid. ”
He sat down again, "How many people are there in Xiqiu this time?"
"What...... What's up...... Things?"
Luo Di smiled faintly and said, "Of course, it's the things you have done in the villages and towns around Xiqiu in the past few days! Deception has aroused the anger of the people, and then planted the blame on the Divine Sect, what a good means!"
The old guy was almost out of his body, and this time he really couldn't say a word.
Roddy sighed, stared into the other party's eyes, and said slowly, "Why, you still don't believe me? If I wanted to deal with you, I wouldn't have sent people to surround the church today!
The old fellow hesitated for a moment, the expression on his face seemed to be struggling, and finally he hissed, "Well, Lord Marquis, what do you want?"
Luo Di shook his head and said slowly: "You are wrong, it's not what I want now! It's what you want! Now it seems that it's you who need help, not me! I admit that you are very vigilant and loyal, but to do these things, it is not enough to rely on these things! Your people should still be hiding somewhere, right? But today the matter has exploded, and now Xiqiu is a flame warrior group without a church! But in less than three days, after the church gets the news, a large number of flame warriors will come here, and by that time, do you think those guys in your field will be able to escape the pursuit of those clever warriors?"
Roddy smiled calmly: "Okay. I repeat, you can trust me with me! In fact, you have been sent to me to do this because it has been arranged in advance. ”
The room fell silent for a moment. The old fellow finally sighed and said with a wry smile: "I'm convinced, Lord Marquis." It seems that you are indeed our people...... You seem to know everything, and if you want to deal with us, you can just grab me to the interrogation room today. Well, my people are hiding not far from Xiqiu City right now. ”
"How many people are there?"
"Eleven, including me. ”
"Are there warlocks and samurai among them?"
"Two samurai, two warlocks, including me. I'm a warlock myself. ”
Luo Di nodded with satisfaction: "That's it, only warlocks can pretend to be light spells to deceive those civilians." What is your mission? to get these things up and frame them for the church?"
The old guy thought for a moment and said with a wry smile: "In fact, we don't know much. It's just that we are all people who are absolutely loyal to the Order, and our task is to finish today's work, and the next order is to let us stay in Xiqiu, saying that there will be further arrangements at that time - now it seems that you, Lord Marquis, are our next arrangement. ”
Roddy sighed. rubbed his own sun**, and said with a wry smile: "You guys are really going to mess around...... Well, no, it's supposed to be your boss who is really messing around. He knew I was on vacation, but he gave me all this trouble. Hum. Is it accurate that there is no church of samurai in the tulip family's fiefdom, so it is so unscrupulous?"
Roddy was silent for a moment, his fingers tapping lightly on the tabletop. At last he sighed and said, "Well, go back at once, take all your people, and come to the Tulip Courtyard tonight! Before the sun goes down tonight, I'm going to see all of you standing here in one of you intact! And the money you've swindled, and the filth that you have swindled, must be hidden!
The old fellow's eyes showed a sly look again, and he bowed deeply: "Honorable Marquis. Rest assured, my children are highly trained!Besides, can I borrow a study here tonight?"
"Huh?"
"Hehe, I need to write a detailed report as soon as possible, and then send it back to the newspaper office in the imperial capital, and publish the huge scandal about the Divine Cult born here to the world!" the old guy smiled maliciously.
Roddy looked him up and down carefully, and waved his hand: "Okay......! I will send cavalry to help you get to the imperial capital in the name of delivering the battle report. ”
"Lord Earl is wise!" said the old fellow with a fitting compliment.
Hmph, old skeleton, you've already figured it out!
Three days later, a group of 2,000 flame warriors marched to Xiqiu Province! The arrival of these strangely dressed flame warriors immediately aroused the onlookers of the citizens! Duke Tulip's fiefdom had not seen other armies of these empires for generations, and the citizens began to be strangely dressed by them. But then the crowd became disdainful when they realized that they were armed members of the church.
I don't know who in the crowd shouted first: "These are the thugs who teach those vampires!"
With a buzz, the crowd boiled.
"Lackeys, get out of the West Hill!"
"Get rid of them!"
"Do not let them defile the sacred land of tulips!"
Suddenly, a few more eggs and tomatoes flew out of the crowd, an immediate reminder of the shouting crowd, and more were thrown out.
Those flame warrior regiments didn't dare to make a move with the citizens, and besides, there were also brigades of soldiers from the security station "protecting" along the way, so they could only run away. It only made the church leader of the Flame Warrior Order so angry that his face turned pale!
The Holy Flame Order of the Church is the army that protects the Holy Church! It represents the dignity of the Supreme Cult of God! When has such "courtesy" ever been received anywhere in the Empire?
When they rushed out of the crowd and drove all the way to the cathedral in Xiqiu City, they were stunned by the situation in front of them!
Is this still the noble, supreme sacred place of worship of the gods?
A deep trench was dug around the church! A ring of barbed wire was even put up outside! The heavily armed soldiers stood there in a row, with the hilt of their swords in their hands, looking murderous! At the door of the church, two men in clergy uniforms were dropped on the pillars, and two soldiers were beating them with whips in their hands!
Those of the Flame Warrior Order just felt that they had never seen anything like this...... This kind of "big rebellion" scene!
In the heat of their rage, they almost immediately drew their swords and fought the evil soldiers who dared to beat the servants of God!
It's just that an officer stopped in front with a smile, and he held in his hand a handwritten warrant from the honorable, great, imperial marshal, brother-in-law of Duke Tulip, the imperial god of war, the hero of the empire, the hottest upstart in the inner circle of the imperial capital, and the Marquis of Roddy!
The warrant clearly states that the Marquis's order is written! No one is allowed to enter or leave the church! Anyone who disobeys the marquis's order is to be immediately arrested and whipped twenty! Repeated disobedience, the soldier has the right to be killed on the spot!!
The officer smiled and said, "I am the magistrate of Xiqiu, and now I am under the warrant of the Marquis, and I will punish these two guys who disobey the orders of the lord, they will be whipped twenty, and the execution has not yet been completed, so please stand back." ”
The leader of the Flame Warrior Regiment was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot. Roaring angrily, "What orders did they disobey!"
The sheriff shook his head, sighing, "They tried to escape from the church, so we had to ......"
At this moment, a guy who was almost beaten and couldn't bear it saw that his samurai regiment had arrived, and he didn't know where he got the strength, so he tried his best to shout: "We're just going out to buy groceries......"
"Shut up!!" the sheriff turned and yelled menacingly. Then he winked, and the whip of the soldier was forced, and the poor fellow screamed, his voice almost deformed, but he never said a word at once.
The sheriff turned around, the ferocity on his face disappeared in an instant, and his face was full of respectful smiles: "Look, this lord, you have worked hard from afar. The Marquis has prepared a station for you, right next to it, where herbal tea is served...... Why don't you go there and rest for a while?"
If it weren't for the fact that the marquis himself really couldn't be provoked, the only thought in the mind of the leader of this Flame Warrior Regiment was to smash the chubby smiling face of this guy in front of him with a fierce punch!
After negotiating for a while, the sheriff's face had turned cold: "It is impossible to release people! The marquis's military order is like a mountain! If I release people without permission, then I will be the one who will be whipped here the next moment! If you have any questions." Then go to the Marquis for yourself!"
The leader of the Flame Warrior Regiment was anxious, and finally lowered his head and begged, "Then, can you put down these two people who were beaten first?"
"I can't do it!" the sheriff said coldly, "In the entire Xilin Province, in Xiqiu City, now I only obey the orders of Lord Marquis. If you want to release people, please go to the Duke's Palace and ask for a warrant from the Marquis, and I will release them immediately!"
The leader of the Flame Warriors remembered that he was almost on the spot. Suddenly, the window at the top of the church was opened, and the haggard bishop stuck out half of his head and saw the Flame Warriors as if he were a relative. Shouting "help" like killing a pig.
After all, the leader of this Flame Warrior Regiment is not a fool, and his status in the church is quite high, otherwise he would not have been sent to deal with this matter. A person who can sit in such a high position will not be able to see the current situation clearly, and he rationally stopped the samurai under his command who were angry and wanted to draw their swords.
The situation was obvious, and the soldiers of the surrounding security stations had already lined up in battle formation and looked at themselves with malicious intent. Although there are more people of their own, if the bloody incident of the church army and the imperial ** team breaks out at this delicate moment, then the responsibility for this kind of thing is something that I can't afford to say!
"Is it a warrant from Lord Marquis?" the leader of the Flame Warrior Regiment gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to see Lord Marquis, it's just a ......" He lowered his voice and pleaded with a bit of pleading, "Can you postpone the execution first?" I'll go to one at most...... No...... I'll be back in half an hour!"
"That's right......," the sheriff smiled kindly, nodded, and said, "I also respect the gods very much, and since it's in your face, even if I am whipped by the marquis in half an hour, I will admit it!
The leader of the Flame Warrior Regiment sighed, and chose the calmest and most rational deputy to stay with the team, and strictly instructed him not to do anything in his life!
Then he took twenty of his cronies and rode to the Duke's Annex.
Less than five minutes after they had walked, the sheriff had a sly smile on his face, and suddenly his eyes narrowed and he scolded angrily at the soldier who had stopped the execution: "Fool with no eyes! The Marquis ordered the execution, how dare you stop! Don't you want to die?
As soon as these words came out, the officer of the terrible Flame Warrior Regiment was angry, and he was about to go up to argue, but the sheriff didn't look at him anymore, deliberately stretched, turned around and walked towards the back, and deliberately muttered loudly as he walked: "On such a hot day, there is a place to rest in the back, but standing here in the sun, is your brain broken?"
He dropped a sentence: "Give me a little spirit! The Marquis has an order, let go of a person, and take himself to blame!"
Hundreds of soldiers shouted in unison, brushed out their long swords, and stared at the flame warrior regiment in front of them.
The officer of the Flame Warrior Regiment's face turned pale. Just remembering the commander's order, he didn't dare to move, and for a while the square was quiet, and only the two church personnel who were whipped did not let out a scream of "oops" and "ouch".
The leader of the Flame Warrior Order rushed to the Duke's Courtyard with twenty of his capable men, Pegasus, but this place was not something they could just enter, and he waited patiently outside a side door for fifteen minutes. A servant ran out of it and said lazily: "Lord Marquis is not here, I went hunting with Miss Nicole early this morning!"
After speaking, he didn't look at everyone, and closed the side door with his backhand.
"It's too deceitful!!" The leader of the Flame Warrior Order almost crushed his teeth, and had the heart to break in, but after all, it was Duke Tulip's annex in front of him!
Tulip!
Not to mention the name to provoke, if anyone provokes Duke Tulip's family in the empire, then there is no need for the Duke to do it himself, those crazy supporters can drown him with a mouthful of foam. What's more, if you provoke the Tulip family, I'm afraid that even the Pope will tie himself up and hand it over to the other party in order to calm the incident......
Forcibly swallowed the blood that was almost spurting out. He got on his horse with hatred in his eyes, and shouted angrily, "Go to the hunting ground!!"
He whipped his horse hard and shouted, "I don't believe I won't see that marquis today!!"
Running all the way to the hunting ground, everyone was already exhausted, and everyone rushed for several days to arrive at Xiqiu. Running around for so long, seeing the gate of the hunting ground from afar, the leader of the Flame Warrior Order finally settled down a little.
I saw a group of fifty cavalrymen suddenly run out, and stopped at the intersection fifty paces away!
"Stop! Tulip Private Hunting Ground, Who Dare to Trespass!
The people of the Flame Samurai Regiment looked at it. I saw that this group of cavalry was all extremely strong, and they were wearing helmets that were not the armor of the royal guards, but like wolf heads. The black armor on his body, the strangely long scimitar in his hand! All of them had a murderous aura on their faces, but these dozens of cavalry stood here in formation, faintly as if they had an oppressive aura of the whole army!
It's the whip of Thor! It's the legendary whip of Thor, the "Wolf Tooth Army!!
The leader of the Flame Warrior Order took a deep breath: "We are the Flame Warrior Regiment of the Church, I am the First Class Warrior of the Church, and the honorary deputy head of the Sect is ......"
"I don't care what regiment you are, this is not the place for you to come, get out of here!" shouted the officer with the Thor's Whip at the head.
Brush!
With a neat sound, fifty wolf fangs drew their scimitars at the same time. Fifty horses took a step forward at the same time!
With a murderous look on one's face!
This is a genuine murderous aura! This kind of aura is definitely not something that can be cultivated on the training ground! It is completely cultivated in the real battlefield after experiencing the test of life and death in flesh and blood!
"Wait...... Wait!" The deputy head of the regiment was anxious, and shouted, "I am from the church! I have an urgent matter to see the Marquis of Roddy......!"
The officer of Thor's Whip just glanced at him lightly from the corner of his eye, and said coldly: "Lord Marquis is hunting with Miss Nicole! Now there is a war zone control here! Your Excellency has ordered that no one or anything should go in and disturb him before sunset today! You go away quickly!"
"But......" Steller was anxious.
A cold light flashed in the eyes of the Thor's whip officer, and his voice was calm, and he suddenly shouted, "Wolf Fang!!"
"Kill !!!" fifty knights shouted in unison, and fifty scimitars were raised!
"Listen up, those in front! According to the regulations of the Imperial War Zone! I order you to leave within ten seconds! Otherwise, you will be killed! One!!"
Brush!
Fifty horses once again marched forward in a neat manner!
"Two!"
The cavalrymen had already leaned down, and their eyes under their helmets showed bloodthirsty eyes!
"Three!" shouted the officer of Thor's Whip, "The Wolf Tooth Army obeys the order! Target ahead! Shoot and kill!"
Those people of the Flame Warrior Order finally couldn't stand anymore, and one of his subordinates gently pulled Rastril and said in a trembling voice, "Great, my lord, we are still ...... These wolf fangs can't be provoked, they're all a bunch of bloodthirsty madmen!"
Strier was angry in his heart, and said stubbornly: "I am a first-class warrior of the church, and I don't believe in the lawlessness of their Thor's whip!"
The officer with the Thunder God's whip on the opposite side shouted, "Four!" After a pause, he exhaled and shouted, "Forward!"
Horseshoe stomping!
Fifty Wolf Tooth Troops began to move slowly in a neat lineup! The horses' hooves began to run in small steps, gradually approaching the panicked Flame Warrior Regiment!
The oncoming sharp murderous aura made Steller realize that the other party was definitely serious! These wolf tooth troops are not other armies of the empire! Now the entire empire is rumoring that this is the most mysterious ace army in the whip of Thor! Legend has it that they can beat the powerful Holy Knights of the Roland people to the point of losing their armor! If these twenty people really make a move, I am afraid that they will be completely killed in less than a moment!
"Five!"
Seeing that the opponent's cavalry was getting faster and faster, Strier let out a long sigh and shouted, "Retreat!!"
The twenty members of the Flame Warrior Regiment were already out of their minds, and before the commander's voice was finished, they turned their horses' heads and ran away at a fast pace.
There was a burst of laughter from the wolf tooth army behind him, and the officer of the Thor's Whip sneered: "What kind of bullshit flame warrior regiment?
In the hunting ground, still on the shore of the lake, Roddy lay comfortably on the grass, quietly looking up at the sky.
Nicole sat next to him and couldn't help but say, "Roddy, is it really appropriate for you to do this?"
"What's inappropriate?" Luo Di smiled slightly: "Anyway, this time I have made up my mind to tear my face with the church! The Roland people in the north are too busy to take care of themselves, and they don't have time to trouble us, I think the old skeleton wants to take this opportunity to solve the hidden dangers of the empire for hundreds of years in one fell swoop!"
Miao Si stopped meditating, suddenly opened her eyes and smiled: "Okay, Nicole, you don't have to worry about these things for Roddy, this guy usually looks very honest, if it makes a bad move, I'm afraid we are not his opponents." ”
Nicole sighed: "It's just that the Flame Warrior Regiment has two thousand people, and we only have some soldiers from the security station in Xiqiu, can we suppress them?" Speaking of this, she glanced back at the outside of the hunting ground: "The people of the Flame Warrior Regiment should have come to you now, right?"
Luo Di smiled slightly: "They can't get in." ”
Nicole smiled bitterly: "Are you so sure? The person who came must be a very high-status person in the church, and the whip of Thor dares to stop it?"
Luo Di sat up, his face couldn't help but show a little pride, and said lightly: "This wolf tooth army was brought to the battlefield by my own hands! I mean, as long as the tulip battle flag is pointing, even if it is the Pope of the Divine Sect on the other side, their horseshoe and scimitar will definitely kill them without hesitation! Hmph, it is best if they are second-rate characters of several churches, if they obediently get out, if they refuse to leave, they will be killed a long time ago." The scimitar in the hands of the warriors of the Wolf Tooth Army doesn't care about such a little more blood!"
