143-144 (A)
Elrens's words surprised everyone in the Latin Kingdom, especially Jacques de Molay, the chief of the Knights Templar.
When he was young, Mo Lai had the privilege of meeting the legendary Black Dragon King, and was deeply shocked by the incomparable magic of the other party. It is not difficult for a powerful black dragon like Dis Calamity to live for more than a thousand years, but he didn't expect that he would be seriously ill and die when he was still in the prime of life!
Now, Mo Lai, who is also a top powerhouse in the continent, can't imagine what kind of disease can make the Black Dragon King face death! However, he didn't know that Elrens had a very poor relationship with his father, and he didn't care about saying any disrespectful curses to his father, and these words were just nonsense to cover up the secret between Dragon Island and the Holy See.
"Sorry...... I hope that the Black Dragon King Bixia can get better as soon as possible. Balwyn II had no choice but to dismiss the idea of asking for support from Dragon Island.
"You don't have to worry about this!" Ellens waved his hand and replied magnanimously: "Everyone will die, no matter how powerful the black dragon is! ”
Cleo immediately chimed in, "It's almost midnight now, and it's best to leave while it's still dark." Time is urgent, Bixia, please make a decision immediately!"
Balwin II and the chief of the Order looked at each other, and both fell silent. It has been more than fifty years since the Latin knights took over Byzantium during the Fourth Crusade, and it has been ruled by seven kings, and Balwyn II himself was born and raised here, and it is very difficult to give up the capital that represents the country and all its glory.
After thinking about it for a while, Molai finally sighed and said: "Bixia, what the two highnesses said is right, there is only one way to die if you stay, and now is the time to make a decision! Please Bixia summon the royal family's important ministers, and my elite Templar Order will be responsible for escorting it, and prepare to break through! As for myself, I will stay and lead the rest of the army to launch an all-out counterattack from the other side, hoping to attract the attention of the Nicaean people and create more favorable conditions for Bixia's smooth departure!"
When Balwin II heard this, he quickly shook his head and said: "Absolutely not! If there is one person who has to stay and lead the army to fight back, then I should definitely be responsible!"
Saying this, he stood up excitedly and shouted to the people in the main hall: "Everyone! I, Balwyn II, am the king of the Latin Kingdom, and now the country is about to die, and my life is in ruins, all because I have failed to fulfill the duties of a king, and how can I abandon the capital and the army and flee for fear of death? Even if I can save my life temporarily, I will not be able to face the seven previous kings in heaven in the future! In any case, for the glory of the Latin Kingdom and for my own honor, I must not escape, I must stay and fight to the death! ”
"Bixia is right!"
Several members of the royal family were moved by the spirit of Balwin II's death, and shouted one after another: "Please escort Her Royal Highness Princess Onormia away! Our father, uncles and brothers have been killed by the Nicaeans, this is our home, we must not escape, we must fight the enemy to the death with Bixia!"
The Latin princess, who was sitting next to the king, also resolutely drew the short sword at her waist, and her delicate little face was full of resoluteness: "Father, I don't want to leave, I want to stay and fight side by side with you!"
Balwin II looked at his daughter with relief, his eyes full of love. His only son had died in battle not long ago, and now he had only one daughter left, so how could he be willing to let her stay and die? The king stretched out his hand and gently stroked Omia's long hair, and said softly: "No, Mia, you have to leave here and take with you a little blood and hope for our Zuihou of the Latin Kingdom." In the future, the task of reviving the country will be entrusted to you as a girl, and I know that this road is very difficult, and I hope you do not blame your father for his incompetence. ”
"Father, but ......" At this moment of separation of life and death, Onomia's beautiful eyes were full of tears, and she could not cry silently.
Balwyn II turned to Molai and pleaded: "Your Excellency, you and your men are not from the Latin Kingdom, but you have come all the way to our aid without fear of death. We have been able to sustain ourselves for the past few years thanks to your full support, but now that the city is about to be destroyed, I cannot let you and the Knights continue to make senseless sacrifices! In addition, the reason why we are to this point is entirely because of the betrayal of our allies! The Pope and the Holy Rome have not hesitated to sacrifice us who share the same faith for the sake of profit, and in turn cooperate with the believers of the Orthodox Church. As the head of the Knights Templar, your influence is all over Shijie, so please make sure that the blasphemous acts of the current Pope are made public after you leave, and seek justice for our brothers who died in battle!"
Molai nodded silently.
The Knights Templar had always been loyal to the Pope of Bright Heaven, and for the sake of their faith, they obeyed the orders of their successive popes, even at the cost of their lives. However, in recent years, the Knights have been defeated again and again on various battlefields, and Shili has not been as good as before. Since the new Pope Clement V came to power, he abandoned the Knights besieged in Byzantium and cooperated with the Nicene heretics.
Not only that, but it was even reported that the Pope did this because Louis XIV, King of Gaul, had long coveted the Order's priceless possessions in the country, which Louis XIV and Clement V could swallow as long as the main members of the Order were killed in battle...... This is simply the greatest blasphemy against the God of Light! If you can leave, you will have to complain to the adults of the Cardinals!
Seeing that the chief of the regiment finally agreed, Balwyn II relieved himself, turned his head to look at his daughter, and said softly: "Mia, I am relieved that Your Excellency Morai and the leaders of the Knights are in charge of escorting you. From today onwards, your father will no longer be able to take care of you, and you will have to take on the responsibility of reviving the country alone, remember to change your stubborn temper, and consult with others in everything......"
