Chapter VII: Freedom
As Josh and the others approached Monteriggioni, they quickly noticed the people gathering below.
The visibility and range of views in the air are not comparable to those on land, otherwise why would many reconnaissance missions rely on air power? Of course, a lot of detailed things actually need ground forces.
Josh and the others found that this situation was very normal, their own strength was outstanding, and their eyesight had also been enhanced because of the continuous improvement of their physical fitness due to their cultivation.
Giovanni, on the other hand, relied entirely on his own talent, which is the legendary Hawkeye.
Giovanni discovered his younger brother Mario almost immediately, and he could even see Mario's nervous, scared expression.
Of course, he didn't feel funny at all, because he was worse than him at the time.
At least his brother immediately organized a defense after the panic - even if it was a bit of a mantis arm as a car, but his determination to defend his home was still felt by everyone.
Of course, this guy's practice of diverting children and women did not escape their eyes.
Mario's series of actions made Josh feel that this guy was really good, at least a suitable and responsible leader, didn't he?
But looking at the group of people below who were determined to die, Josh had a headache.
He had no doubt that if Hosdner leaned down a little, these people would attack Hosdner directly, although it was impossible for them to do any damage to Hosdner.
But in the eyes of Hosdner, there is no difference between their approach and provocation.
Josh doesn't want to be in the last world, where Hosdner spewed out a fleet in one go, and if that's the case, I'm afraid Josh's name as the devil's leader won't be able to escape.
But fortunately, at this time, Giovanni seemed to see Josh's headache, and he immediately gave his own advice: "Your Excellency Josh, I can go and communicate with them." My brother Mario is down there, and we just need to land farther away. ”
Giovanni's words made Josh nod unconsciously, indeed this is a very effective way to directly avoid conflict.
Although this conflict is a one-sided slaughter, what Josh needs now is manpower, and he doesn't want to turn Monteriggioni into a dead realm.
"And it's really bulldozed, won't Ezio be dumbfounded when he runs here? And I'm afraid that before I ran here, Vieri and his men intercepted halfway, and then the last Giovanni Auditore bloodline on the surface was also finished, so it wouldn't be good. ”
Josh complained inwardly, he remembered the guy named Vieri with a famous football star, but he was chasing Ezio all the way to Monteriggioni.
Had it not been for Ezio's uncle Mario, who arrived and helped them kill many of Vieri's men, it would have been a question of whether or not the Master Assassin Ezio would have survived.
And now, Ezio is indeed the last blood of Giovanni Auditore da Firenze.
Although Giovanni and his other two sons were saved by Josh, Josh would never let them meet, a Ezio who had no forward momentum, Josh was not sure that this playboy and the future old pervert would be so desperate.
Nodding, Josh agreed with Giovanni's idea, which made Giovanni breathe a sigh of relief.
Seriously, he really didn't want his brother Mario to attack them, and he couldn't imagine what the consequences would be, and Arcatosz would be a divine punishment in Florence.
And Hostner looks bigger, so if this guy shoots, what would the result be?
Giovanni swallowed and immediately shook his head and stopped thinking about such a thing, he knew that it would never end well.
However, Giovanni was very puzzled, because after Josh agreed to his suggestion, the dragon called Hosdner did not seem to have any intention of descending, and he turned his head to look at Josh in confusion to ask what to do now, but he saw a pale golden luster suddenly appear behind Josh.
Soon a pair of light wings appeared behind Josh, and although Josh was wearing a black robe at this moment, he looked extremely sacred.
This surprised Giovanni, because Josh's image is obviously an angel advertised in religion!
But Giovanni remembers, didn't Josh say that he was better at sending people to hell? Aren't angels more than just beautiful adjectives like holy and noble?
Josh doesn't care what Giovanni is thinking, although he knows that his image will inevitably have a great impact in this era, or it should be said that it is the same in any era, but Josh doesn't care about this now, anyway, the purpose of this world is the power of faith, how to work well.
"Come to your senses, man." Looking at Giovanni, who was a little distracted, Josh reminded helplessly.
"Oh? Oh! I'm so sorry, Sir Josh, I ......."
"It's okay, I'm used to it. I'll take you down. ”
Josh shook his head and didn't care about these things, and then he directly used his magic hand to grab Giovanni, who was still a little sluggish, and jumped straight down. Maybe it's because of the high jumps that he has done a lot, such as the Leap of Faith, but Giovanni is much calmer than Josh imagined.
The flight descended so fast that almost in the blink of an eye, the two of them had landed above the group below.
The group looked a little nervous, but they didn't seem to be so flustered, which made Josh a little curious.
But after thinking about it for a while, Josh is definitely angry and funny, these guys are like this after looking at their own appearance.
Josh didn't want to comment on these things, but he took a closer look at the guy who took the lead.
This person Josh can basically conclude at a glance that he is Giovanni's younger brother Mario, in fact, Josh doesn't know why this guy's appearance is really much worse than Giovanni.
And this guy is blind in one eye, plus there are some scars on his face after years of fighting, compared to Giovanni's elegant and handsome, this guy is more like a reckless man or something.
But in reality, he's a good leader.
"Mario, my brother."
As Josh removed the control of the magic hand, Giovanni had fallen to the ground.
He ran directly in front of his younger brother, a little happy and a little emotional at the same time. To tell the truth, by the morning he had already felt that he would never see his brother again.
"Giovanni?"
Mario recognized his brother at a glance, but he didn't move, thinking about why his brother had come to Monteriggioni.
And what kind of existence are these people who came with their brother, especially the guy with pale golden wings behind him who floats in mid-air.
"Why are you here? And they ....."
"It's hard to put it into words, my brother Mario. All I can tell you is that we had an accident in Florence. ”
Giovanni sighed, then told Mario all about his recent encounters.
Mario's face was not in disbelief, he never dreamed that his brother's family would encounter such a tragic thing, if it weren't for Josh and others, I'm afraid that his brother's family would be completely broken.
At the same time, he was also very annoyed that the infiltration of the paladin's gang was so exaggerated.
It looked like Florence was in trouble, and he was worried about what happened to his other nephew, Ezio, because he didn't see him.
"Where's Ezio?"
"He's fine, because I asked him to help me deliver the letter, and he just dodged this time."
"God forbid."
"But I hope you can help me keep it a secret. Don't let him know that I and Federico and Pedruzio are still alive. You're just going to die. ”
"Why?"
Mario Philadelphia asked curiously, what a beautiful thing it is to be reunited after the family is fine, especially after such a big accident, he really can't understand Giovanni's approach.
Giovanni was also a little distressed, but he explained anyway.
"Mario, this time I came to you for more than this, there is one more thing I must tell you. It also has something to do with the fact that I don't let you tell Ezio that we're alive. ”
"What's the matter?"
Mario's attitude also became serious, he knew that his brother must have some kind of hardship to make such a choice.
He wasn't stupid, if he wasn't stupid, he wouldn't have been able to get to where he is now, and he even guessed that it was probably because of these amazing people that Giovanni made such a decision.
"I want you to join us."
"Join.... You guys? ”
"Yes." Giovanni nodded earnestly.
"Lord Josh, the one behind me, and his companions. They are beings from the realm of the gods, and they have the same purpose as us, or even higher. ”
"What's that?"
Mario doesn't think his brother is lying, although he has deep doubts about why Giovanni gave up his faith, although he believes that there is a reason for it.
Although it is likely that he was coerced by force, Mario feels that there should be more than that.
"Lord Josh intends to establish a religion of his own!"
Giovanni took a deep breath before he slowly said, not caring about Mario's already ugly face, "Your Excellency Josh intends to do this, but his teachings give me hope. So I'm willing to add him, and I'm willing to help him convince you. ”
"Doctrine? What kind of doctrine? Mario asked, holding back the horror in his heart.
"He can give us freedom, and love!"
Mario seems to understand Giovanni's thoughts.
He smiled bitterly, yes, it seems that only such a thing can convince his brother. These contents are very ethereal, but haven't these things always been what they are after?
All things are false, and all things are allowed.
Their Assassin style has always been unconventional, and they are also responsible for their actions, both glorious and tragic. But all the while, they were just a group of people who were looking for freedom.
"Of course, Lord Josh promised. If you could....", perhaps trying to emphasize something, Giovanni slowly highlighted a few words at the end.
"We're going to be the same kind of people as Josh."
"What!?"
