Chapter 476: The Great Army Pressed the Realm
The Holy Tribunal, the Papal Palace.
"What! The crusading army is stationed halfway and can't move? Who gave them the order! ”
Boros slapped the table and fired at the messenger.
The messenger was terrified: "Your Majesty is angry, it is not that the army does not want to continue advancing, but the latest news has come from the King of France, the lord of Burgundy and his army of 50,000 have been annihilated by Nock Lane alone.
It is said that Bishop Lane used the [Holy Spear], and with just two blows, the army of 50,000 was wiped out, and the place where the army stayed became a lake.
Captain Rollais was also on the safe side, wanting to wait for the Holy Court's latest instructions. ”
The explanation of his subordinates, Boros understood.
The subtext is that Nock Lane's holy weapon is very powerful, and Rollas's legion does not want to be cannon fodder, hoping that the Holy Court will send a master to deal with Nock Lane.
To put it bluntly, the other party is waiting for them to send reinforcements to support!
The Holy Tribunal is not without a holy weapon.
On the contrary, the holy vessels of the Holy Court were piled up with treasure troves.
But in addition to the fact that the Pope has a papal suit and a chalice that is enshrined in the Holy Pool of the Temple all year round.
There are only a few powerful people at the rank of Legion Commander who can use a holy weapon.
The remaining rights to use the holy artifact must be applied to the Council of Elders in advance according to the needs of the task, and after the Council of Elders votes to approve it, notify the Treasury Administrator to take out the required Holy Artifact and open the use rights to the tasker.
Therefore, in order to have a Hallows like Anock, you must send someone who is also the owner of the Hallows.
Even a temporary Hallows user would not be a match for Nock Lane.
Judging from the ability shown by Nock Lane, his control of the [Holy Lance] is no less than that of the [Holy Lance] of the past dynasties.
Send ordinary masters, but they may not be able to take down Nock Lane.
Pope Boros immediately summoned a meeting of the Council of Elders.
After some heated debate, the Council of Elders finally agreed to send the "Silver Wings" Knights, and together with the head of the Holy Knights, the three presiding judges of the Inquisition, and the twenty priests of the Inquisition, they rode the "Silver Wings" flying dragon and headed straight for Pali.
At the same time, the crusading army, which had stopped halfway, also received an order from the Holy Court to continue its advance.
The dispatch of the "Silver Wings" is mainly to deal with the wolf cavalry under the command of Nock Lane and to deter other forces with bad intentions.
Like the people of the Dark Empire and the League of Witches.
Lexa, the leader of the Dragon Knights, is a veteran saint-level powerhouse, holding the holy weapon [Bright Holy Sword] and wearing the holy weapon armor [Guardian of the God of War], and is the main combat force against Nok Lane.
Lexa, who has dual holy weapons, is not only experienced in combat, but also a [holy weapon] with unparalleled attack and defense, even if he can't take down Nock Lane, he can effectively contain him.
The Inquisition, in order to capture Nock Lane's henchmen, held a public trial afterwards to quell the effects of Cardinal Richelieu's killing.
Originally, the Holy See intended to declare the Reims Cathedral led by Nok Lane a group of people and centaurs as traitors to the church, but considering this, it was easy to push the Reims Cathedral directly to the enemy's side.
Maybe before the Church army can crusade, Nock Lane will lead his men to join the enemy.
Far from it, the Lionheart Kingdom across the sea is his best choice.
Others don't know, but Boros and Marcus know that Nock Lane is the first in line to the throne of the Lionheart Kingdom!
Now that the Lionheart Kingdom has achieved the supremacy of the sea, it is gradually wanting to become the hegemon of the continent and is ambitious.
If it weren't for the Holy Empire's internal troubles now, it would have sent troops to attack the ambitious Lionheart Kingdom a long time ago.
In order to prevent Nock Lane from running away, Boros suppressed the announcement made by the Presbyterian Church to excommunicate Nock Lane, so as not to startle the snake and let Nock Lane run away early.
Steady Nock Lane and kill the opponent by surprise, this is what Boros wants.
It's just that this time the Holy Court's action was privately presided over by Boros and the Council of Elders, and Marcus didn't know about it at all.
Marcus was complaining to Fiona in the Holy Mountain.
By the time Turonev brought the news, Resas had been on his way with his men for several hours.
Marcus did not object to Boros's action, but felt that Boros and the Council of Elders were still not cautious enough and underestimated Nock Lane.
With the lineup sent out by the Holy Court, he Marcus can easily escape and even kill most of them.
Not to mention the strong return of Nock.
Marcus himself was unsure about dealing with Nock, as he had noticed from the time he met him.
He just wasn't sure, so he would compromise with Nock and leave Reims City.
Unfortunately, when I came back to complain to Fiona, I ran into Fiona still sleeping in Longmian.
The dragon's sleep began the year after Nock's disappearance, and the dragon's slumber lasted from decades to centuries.
Fiona, because she had to protect the church, never had a real dragon sleep.
But the dragon sleep of light sleep will still be carried out.
Sleep lasts between 10 and a few decades.
During light sleep, you can be woken up by the outside world.
But the Templar has known to all the popes that the consequences of disturbing Fiona's sleep are severe.
Usually there is no serious incident, and they will not disturb Fiona's dragon sleep when they die.
After all, everyone has the gas to get up, let alone a dragon.
Marcus only came to complain, and didn't intend to wake Fiona.
Fiona, who is in a light sleep, can receive information from the outside world, and as long as it is not something that needs to be dealt with immediately, she does not need to wake up immediately.
Marcus sued just to make Fiona disgusted with Nock, thus lowering Nok's rating in Fiona's mind.
In the future, when he actually does something to Nock, Fiona just doesn't protect Nok.
But Marcus forgot that Nock's son was still working as a bather for Fiona.
So, Marcus, who filed the complaint, was angry with Joseph and then entangled him.
Fiona, who was asleep, disliked the annoying two old men, and directly swatted the two of them out of the dragon cave as flies with one tail.
Yes, when Turonev arrived with the news, he also saw two old men fighting on the Holy Mountain.
The guards of the Holy Mountain are still secretly betting on who wins and loses.
When he learned from the slaughter of Nev that Boros had sent someone to capture Nok, Marcus felt that Boros was careless.
But the army has already set off for half a day, and at the speed of dragoons, it is estimated that it will reach the territory of the Kingdom of France in the evening and Pali in the morning.
It was too late for him to send someone to help.
Unlike Marcus's resignation, Joseph's lungs exploded when he heard that the Pope was actually going to deal with his own son.
If it hadn't been for Turonev, he would have gone to Boros to fight.
Fortunately, Turonev persuaded Joseph that only Fiona could help Nock.
Although Boros is a junior in the Holy Court, his current identity is the Pope, on the surface, except for Fiona and the old tree spirit in the nursing home, he is the highest status of the Pope, down is the newly canonized saint, and then down is the real power elders of the Presbyterian Church.
Except for Fiona, there really is no one who can question Boros' decision.
This time, Joseph was in a hurry and wanted to wake Fiona up, but was stopped by Marcus.
The two switched offense and defense, and Marcus blocked Joseph from approaching Fiona.
The reason is also very legitimate: the holy dragon enters the dragon sleep, and the idle people cannot disturb the holy dragon. So as not to destroy the quality of the Holy Dragon's sleep, and cause the Holy Dragon to be unable to protect the Holy Court in the next time.
As soon as the big hat was changed, Turonev didn't dare to help, turned around and ran.
Anyway, the news had already arrived, and if Joseph couldn't report the news to the Holy Dragon, he wouldn't be to blame.
He is just a presiding arbitrator, and he can't intervene in the battle of the retired boss.
As for Nock Lane, he can only ask for more blessings.
The Pope has orders, and he, as presiding arbitrator, must also act on orders.
Sending only three presiding judges and twenty priests was already the greatest help Turonev could do for Nock.
Joseph was entangled, and there was no one to stop the ranks of the Holy Court.
Lexa and the others drove straight in, and arrived in the territory of the Kingdom of France before nightfall.
Finding a random place to settle down, Lexa summoned all the dragon knights and discussed with them in a whisper the plans and arrangements for tomorrow.
Except for Thorst William, who was killed by Nock, the remaining eight dragon knights are here.
With the addition of Lexa, a full nine Holy Rank and eight Golden Peak Wyverns, they felt more than outstanding to deal with one Nock Lane.
If it weren't for the fact that there might be people from other forces sneak up on him when fighting with Nok, and benefit from it, Lexa felt that with the current team, he could swagger into Pali, as if no one was there!
But he can't do that, and he can't get out of the way until the dust settles on Nock Lane.
What if Nock Lane brings in another saint-level helper......
Unbeknownst to Lexa, their whereabouts were revealed the moment they entered the territory of Fran.
While they were encamped and resting, a piece of information about them had been sent overnight to Notre Dame de Parry, where it appeared on Nok Lane's desk.
Of course, in addition to the letter, there is also a naked woman on Nock Lane's desk now.
"Ah, Nock, there's new news coming from the south, it should be about the Holy Court."
The woman lying on the table gasped for breath, and looked back at Nock, who was ploughing, and reminded.
Nock didn't care about it, his eyes were red and he roared: "Leave it alone, it's time to deal with it later!" ”
With Nock's words, the two fought again, you come and go, chess opponents.
Two hours later, the numb Madame Mantilati leaned against Nock's chest and unfolded the secret letter to read it.
"Nock, the latest news, the Holy Court has sent a team to decapitate you. Leading the team is the leader of the Dragon Knights, Lexa, known as the [Peerless Knight], with two holy weapons, the [Bright Sacred Sword] and the [Guardian of the God of War]. He was accompanied by all the members of the Silver Wings, as well as the three presiding judges and twenty priests of the Inquisition. ”
Mantilati asked worriedly, "Are you sure?" If you can't do it, you can hide from me first! ”
Nock shook his head: "No need, I also have three saint levels on my side, even if I am defeated, I have a chance to get out." It's you, it's time to leave, otherwise your identity will be exposed, and I'm afraid that I'll do it to you. ”
Nock's words made Madame Mantilati's face pale.
With panic in her eyes, she broke free from Nock's arms and stood up with a straight "wave", standing naked opposite Nock.
