"Hmm." Arthur turned around and beckoned to the door, "Jerome, arrange a dinghy to take us to the territory of the Milan Emperor's Alliance." ”

"Yes, Your Highness Arthur." A slightly hoarse voice rang out, and a man suddenly stepped out of the corner of the house.

It was a man in a black tights, wearing sunglasses, with a thin and cold face, a mustache, a slender black iron chisel stuck in his back, a rusty monocular in his left hand, his right arm hanging down, a red rope tied around his wrist, and two rings strung together.

Li Ang saw clearly the silver badge on the other party's chest, his pupils shrank, and the corners of his mouth outlined a faint arc of sarcasm.

"You're Jerome? Karen? ”

"That's right."

Jerome took off his eyes and put them next to his ears, blocked the sunlight with his hand, and said in a flat tone: "Your Highness Arthur, when are you going to go?" I'm ready to ship and get my equipment ready. ”

"There's no hurry." Arthur waved his hand, turned his head to look at Leon, and said, "We need to wait for reinforcements, and this matter is related to the survival of the Holy Knights, so we can't make a hasty decision."

Let me ask others for their opinions first. ”

"Okay."

Leon nodded, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of water, quietly waiting for Arthur to contact the other three members of the Paladin.

Arthur took out a blank piece of paper from his bosom, spread it out, and wrote and drawn.

After a while, he put away his pen and paper, stood up, looked at Li Ang and said, "It's the first time you've come to the Holy City, so you shouldn't know much about this place, right?" ”

"Well, I just heard from you." Leon nodded.

Arthur smiled and said, "Then did you know that there is a church in the central square of the Holy City?" ”

Leon shook his head.

"We in the Milan Emperor Alliance are an Imperial Alliance that believes in the Light and Order, and under the rule of the Templar Alliance, the sects that believe in the Light are divided into five major sects.

These five major sects are the five major sects headed by the Pope, namely the Glorious Holy See, the Elizabethan Holy See, the Paladin's Alliance, the Moissanal Continental Church, and the Stuttgart Church (the headquarters of the Paladin's Alliance).

Every year on December 31, a grand prayer service is held in the Holy City.

During this time, the Holy See gathers the clergy in the square for confessional and prayer ceremonies, sacrifices to the gods, and tests of the purity of the Holy Power by paladins and warriors.

This work is one of the strictest and most high-profile things in the entire Milan Emperor Alliance, including the surrounding King Alliance, so I chose to travel to the Milan Emperor Alliance at this time. ”

"I see." Leon nodded, and then asked, "What is the Templar Alliance?" ”

"It is the core organization of the Church and the administrator of the Holy City." Arthur said succinctly, "It is said that the Templar Alliance has a very high level of authority and can go directly to Heaven and provide protection to Heaven. ”

Leon nodded thoughtfully.

Arthur continued: "The Milandi League is the oldest confederation in Europe, with thousands of years of history and a very glorious reign.

At that time, the Milan Imperial League was led by the Duke of Milan, the richest monarchical alliance in Europe, with great wealth and extraordinary power.

However, in the late thirties of the 20th century, the Milan Imperial League suffered a catastrophe, the city of Milan was occupied by an evil force, and the royal family and nobles fled abroad.

Subsequently, the Duchy of Milan fell, the dynasty fell, and the allies were reduced to slavery.

Audrey, granddaughter of the Duke of Milan? Hepburn ascended the throne as emperor, established the New Emperor Alliance, and became the second king of the Milan Emperor Alliance.

The king of the alliance brought the elite forces of the Imperial Alliance to the northern frontier, built forts in many places to prevent the invasion of the enemy alliance, and built hundreds of megatowns.

The prosperity of the Milan Imperial League originated from these towns and villages, which are now the northern city-states and the Moisan continent. ”

Li Ang asked with interest, "According to your description, that Princess Audrey should also be a legendary rank, right?" ”

"Not bad." Arthur nodded: "She was the only legendary rank mage at the beginning of the establishment of the Milan Emperor Alliance, and she was the top holy word mage, and she was revered as the ancestor of the paladins.

She founded the Mage Guild of the Milandi Alliance, which specializes in magic and is responsible for teaching Paladin apprentices to maintain the stability of the Holy City.

We, the Holy Light Church, are the most powerful church under the command of the Paladin's Guild. ”

Arthur paused and continued, "Although the Holy City has decayed, the church is still well preserved, and it is the strongest fortress, and its defense is comparable to that of a royal palace.

In order to live and move in the Holy City, we need to pay at least 10,000 gold soles. ”

Li Ang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "Ten thousand gold soles?" Aren't you paladins? How can you not even pay 10,000 gold soles? ”

"The paladin's salary is very low, except for the 1,000 gold soles per month, the rest of the money has been taken by the Duke's Palace of Milan and exchanged for gold, jewelry, potions, ......"

Arthur smiled bitterly and explained, "And even if the Duke of Milan is willing to pay, I can't spend money on a pile of scrap." ”

Li Ang was silent for a moment, and then asked, "When we go to the Holy City of the Milan Emperor Alliance, is it possible that we are looking for someone to fight?" ”

Arthur nodded and said, "The paladins of the Holy City are the most heavily defended army in Milan City, and they also control the vast majority of the army in the Holy City.

If it weren't for some special reason, I wouldn't want to disturb the guardians of the Holy City at this time. ”

He looked up and looked around, "Is our carriage and weapons and armor enough?"

If you have any difficulties, you can come with me back to the city hall of the Holy City for a temporary stay, where there is a special hotel. ”

"Thank you, our carriage is sufficient." Li Ang smiled and said, "Then let's go." ”

Arthur nodded, led Leon to the city wall, got into a luxury carriage, and drove away from the city gates.

……

The Milandi League is a large alliance with an area of 5,000 square kilometers, many counties and towns, all kinds of facilities, and very developed commerce, entertainment and technology.

Not only that, as the world's second largest economy, the Milandi Alliance also has abundant resources, such as grain, iron ore and metal materials.

The city of Milan, the capital of the Milan Imperial League, has endless forests, swamps, lakes and harbors, and is quite rich in products, and even has many rare plants.

Due to the relatively safe environment in the city, the large number of patrol soldiers patrolling, and the presence of the Paladin, Milan City has always been the preferred target for mercenary adventurers.

As a result, the streets of Milan were littered with mercenaries wearing heavy armor and swords hanging from their waists or broad-edged swords.

Leon observed the magnificent city through the gap in the curtains, and his face became more and more solemn.
