PS: Make up for yesterday's.

The battle was soon over.

Reality is not "Assassin Warriors".

These assassins, who specialize in assassination, are also not good at frontal combat.

But before they died, their counterattack still took the lives of more than a dozen sergeants and attendants.

"My lord, if you hadn't arrived in time, we would all have died at the hands of these vile, disgusting Assasin assassins."

A royal knight with a shield in his hand said with excitement on his face.

Lothar frowned and said, "Don't talk about this yet, send someone to call someone immediately." Also, strengthen the guards of the palace and don't let any suspicious characters in or out. ”

The wounded lying on the ground were already blue-faced.

The blades of these assassins were so poisonous that there was no need to heal the wounded, and they all died quickly.

Lothar's face was a little gloomy.

The losses that could be seen only on the spot were three knights, six squires, twelve sergeants.

The princesses of Sibylla who stayed behind to protect Baldwin V were counted separately.

"Have the Ombudsman come over and collect and repair the bodies and relics of the deceased."

Lothar commanded in a loud voice: "Remember, especially that the heads and bodies of those who have been beheaded must be sewn together, otherwise they will not be able to ascend to heaven." ”

"Yes, Grand Master!"

The members of the Royal Order looked at Lothar with reverence, they had seen for themselves how the murderous and tyrannical Assasin assassins had fallen at the hands of the Grand Master and his men.

The Franks, who still retain the "barbarian" tradition, worship warriors, is a tradition deeply rooted in their hearts.

Lothar walked to the room behind the hallway.

"Your Excellency, you can't go over!"

In order to protect the crown prince, the servants who were forced to take up arms stopped one after another.

"I'm going to meet the crown prince, confirm the safety of His Highness, and get out of the way immediately."

Keng——

Behind Lothar, Hans's sharp armed sword was unsheathed, startling the slaves.

Hans's performance in the battle just now, in their opinion, is simply the knightly protagonist of the legendary novel, who is favored by witches and can slay dragons and demons.

Lothar pushed aside the squire who stood in the way and went straight into the room.

The room was empty.

Hundreds of white candles are lit on iron lampstands, which illuminate the closed room with only a small window.

Lothar lowered his head and saluted: "Your Highness, I am Lothar von Habsburg, Grand Master of the Royal Knights, the assassins of Assasin have been purged, please come out." ”

Under the bed with a white gauze tent, a small pale head was revealed.

The little boy slowly crawled out, raised his head, and stared at Lothar.

His body was very thin, his voice was a little trembling, and he didn't know if it was because of fear, his little face turned pale, but he still tried to puff up his chest: "Thank you for coming, Baron Lothar." ”

Seeing that Baldwin V was unharmed, Lothar breathed a sigh of relief, and the turbulent Jerusalem could not withstand this toss.

"Your Highness, I hope that you will move at once and live in His Majesty's bedchamber, where my hussars will protect you every step of the way."

Baldwin Jr. nodded, "As you wish, Baron." ”

"We can protect the crown prince!"

A knight loyal to Princess Sibylla stepped out at this time, a little dissatisfied: "This is the sacred duty entrusted to us by Her Royal Highness the Princess, and if we give Her Highness to you, it will tarnish our honor." ”

Hans looked at him with a cold expression.

The knight felt a terrifying pressure overwhelming, and subconsciously took two steps back.

Hans said coldly, "Please follow the will of the Grand Master. ”

"It's... Be. ”

No one dared to speak anymore.

Lothar picked up little Baldwin and walked to His Majesty's bedchamber surrounded by a crowd.

The knight who had just spoken quickly followed behind him and said politely, "Baron Lothar, I have to inform my lord, His Highness Sibylla, that she will claim back the crown prince's custody from you when the time comes. ”

"Well, let her come to me."

Lothar nodded.

He was figuring out who was behind the attack.

The first thing that can be ruled out is Princess Sibyla, the powerful princess, although in her previous life there was always a legend that she conspired with Guy to murder her parents and occupy the throne for power.

(The film glorifies Baldwin V as suffering from leprosy, and Princess Sibylla does not want her son to suffer as much as her brother, so she ends his life with her own hands, but there is no evidence that Baldwin V really has leprosy, and leprosy is only contagious, not hereditary)

But it was not in her own interest to do so, because she had not yet sat on the throne of the Queen Regent, and if she wanted to, she had too many chances to let little Baldwin die silently.

...

Inside the city of Jerusalem.

In Count Philip's estate, a dinner party was being held.

Saracen slave girls writhed gracefully and danced to the music.

Count Philip raised his glass and said to the crowd, "Thank you for joining the contemptible dinner, for tonight there is enough wine and tender lamb." ”

People applauded.

At this time, someone shouted: "Salute to Lord Earl, only Lord Count is worthy of the position of Grand Master, and we must ask Your Majesty to take back your order." ”

"As long as all of us do not obey the orders of the new country baron, Your Majesty must also take into account everyone's wishes!"

"Yes, like tonight, my squires and I have chosen not to perform our duties again, because we will not obey the orders of an incompetent Grand Master."

At this point, this dinner party can be regarded as a dagger.

Some members of the Royal Knights looked embarrassed, and it was obvious that the first few people to speak were all hardcore henchmen of Count Philip.

But they did not want to rebel against the king's will for the sake of such petty gains.

The Royal Knights, most importantly, are loyal to His Majesty the King.

If even they disobey the king's will, then there will be no more loyalty to all of Jerusalem.

The atmosphere in the field fell into a stagnant.

Count Philip's face was a little ugly, and the development of things was obviously not as good as they imagined.

Then.

Knock –

The Zoroastrian minaret, topped with a cross, is filled with the melodious sound of bells.

Subsequently.

Bang –

The closed gates of the manors exploded, and sawdust flew everywhere.

One by one, hoplites armed with two-handed axes, round shields, and wearing layers of chain mail and red and white smocks, rushed in through the doorway.

"Who?"

"Stop, this is Count Philip's private estate, you have crossed the line!"

A few drunken knights didn't see the situation clearly, and said with a smile: "Ha, this kid, is this kid imitating the emperors of the Eastern Empire and reorganizing a Varangian guard for himself?" ”

The Franks looked down on the weakness of the Greeks.

Although they envied the wealth of the Eastern Empire in their hearts, they did not pay attention to the imperial-style army that had been defeated by the Turkic states in Asia Minor over the years.

Count Philip teased, "What's the matter, boy, did you come all the way to apologize to me?" ”

Riding on the back of Nisa'an's warhorse, Lothar ignored the thoughts of these drunken madmen, and said in a loud voice: "Commander Count Philip, dereliction of duty, unauthorized transfer of people from his post, causing the crown prince to be attacked by the Assasin assassins, immediately remove all your official titles, and put you in prison to await the trial of the Great Council." ”

"No... No way! ”

Count Philip's face changed greatly, and he stammered: "It's been fine for so many years, why is it today?" ”

"Your Excellency, is the transfer in the palace tonight out of your will?"

"It's... That's right, but..."

"Then don't talk nonsense, I now suspect that you are suspected of being involved in the murder of the crown prince, please unload your resistance immediately, otherwise I will not guarantee your life."

"Plot... Murder of the crown prince? ”

Philip's lips trembled: "There is no way I can get involved, I swear, I swear by the honor of the Welf family!" ”

Lothar looked around and sneered: "Besides, I have a list of all those who are called, stand up for me, and I promise to give you a fair trial." ”
