Chapter 289: The abduction of the Pope
Eugen knew very well that the Pope's dress varied, but it must be the most gorgeous red dress in the entire church. So, at a glance, he saw the Pope anxiously wandering around the house. They didn't act rashly, and now is not a good time. The task given to him by Sholin was to bring back the golden apple, and if it didn't work, then find a way to destroy it. Finally, it was determined that the golden apple had no effect on the yellow race and the black race.
The last one is just a condition for the completion of the guarantee that they will not be penalized. The first two, as long as one is completed, the company's reward will be of use to them and even their children for a lifetime. So, Eugen didn't want to go down and do something right now. He first asked everyone to use the open gap to install a sling device to facilitate their entry and exit. Then, two of them, the elite Indian hunter-turned-agents, quietly rappelled into the room, and landed not on the floor, but on the beams. correct
Then, they started to place black squares on the nodes of the beam supports. Then Eugen and the others began to enter, and when everyone had checked their weapons on the beams, opened the safe, and then, at once, they all fell into the room. As soon as Bendu XIII heard a strange sound, he saw fifteen great men descending from the sky. Before the surrounding Templars could react, the steel objects in the hands of the fifteen big men erupted into tongues of fire, and the knights' fine breastplates and leather armor inside did not play a defensive role at all.
One by one, the knights were knocked down by the firearms in their hands, and in a blink of an eye, more than thirty knights in the house were gone. The Pope was just screaming, and Eugen knocked him unconscious with the butt of his rifle. Bendu XIII is an old man, with just a little strength, Eugen can easily hold it up with one hand, and there is no need to keep him awake at all. If the hostages remain awake, they will cause unexpected changes to the captors. In many legends, when rescuing hostages, the hostages are shot with a single shot, and the hostages will struggle because of the severe pain, thus revealing the hijackers behind them, and the sniper will be killed with one shot.
When people are in pain, they exert more force than usual. And this mission cannot afford to fail, and Eugen must eliminate all surprises. By this time, the locksmiths had stopped, all staring at them blankly, and the opening of the last lock had reached ninety percent, and Eugen did not want them to stop. Two fighters went over and forced them to continue at gunpoint. The locksmiths saw that they killed more than thirty elite knights with the weapons in their hands, and naturally they knew that they were powerful, they were only responsible for picking locks, and they didn't need to think about the rest of the things.
The Templars outside heard the noise inside and knew something was wrong inside. They immediately ran over with their muskets, and the enemy would shoot at the first moment. However, when they showed the enemy, they could not shoot themselves. Because, Eugen, they all used the Pope's body and the dead Templar's body to block themselves. The muskets in their hands are not very penetrating, and it would be nice to be able to pierce a piece of armor on their companions.
It was impossible to penetrate the armor on both sides, break them, and then kill and injure Eugen and the fifteen of them. Moreover, there is also a pope in it. The fact that the Pope did not have any blood stains or visible wounds, and that his chest was undulating, proved that the Pope was not dead, but was abducted, and that he was only in a coma. In the hearts of these Templars, the Pope is the supreme being, the apostle of God in the people, and they would rather die themselves than harm the Pope.
So, they can only stay at the door. It's not that no one thought of rushing in, but everyone who rushed in was shot by Eugen. Just because the Templars were brainwashed by religion didn't mean they were fools. They won't do this kind of thing that will be sent to death in vain and weaken their own strength. The Pope was in a coma, and they had no one to direct for the time being, and they didn't know what to do next. model, they found an archbishop in time.
I don't know if it's fate, it's actually the next pope in history. The archbishop decisively summoned more than a hundred men to surround the room, and then asked the knights to start shouting.
"The people inside, we don't know where you came from, we just want to know what you're going to do. As you know, now that we are under attack, you can just take what you want, and there is no need to resort to such means. ”
"Oh, I'm sorry, you won't give us what we want. ”
"Why don't you try it, say, what do you want?"
"We're going to take the golden apple, which shouldn't have been born, and if you agree, we won't continue to use force, and we can even help you eliminate the threat posed by the Holy Roman Empire. ”
"Hmph, it looks like you're deliberately trying to get right with the church. Don't think that the Holy Roman Empire can pose much of a threat to us, as long as we get serious, these things are not a matter at all. Including you, you can't get out of here as long as we want to. ”
"Don't bluff, your Pope, your artifacts, are now under our control. Now, only we can make conditions, so you can be honest and stay outside. ”
Eugen doesn't mind talking nonsense with the people in the church for a while, as this can effectively delay a little time. However, the locksmiths had already opened the last lock, and with a click, the surface of the box gradually parted, revealing a pale golden ball inside. The ball had a symbol that Eugen didn't recognize at all, like a decorative pattern of the ball. These symbols make the ball look very ancient, as if it were a relic from ancient times.
Eugen and they all have to admit that this appearance is not extraordinary at first glance, and it can't be said that it really has the ability of an artifact. Eugen motioned for the two warriors to bring the golden apple, and an old locksmith followed. As if sensing the approach of the golden apple, the Pope gradually awoke from his coma. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the golden apple appear in front of his eyes. The reflex was normal, and he reached out to get it. Eugen, however, fixed him to death.
The Pope reacted at this time, he was kidnapped by someone who came out before. The goal of these people must be the golden apple. The Pope also saw the bishops and knights outside, who must have thought about their own safety so they didn't rush in. The Pope watched as they put the golden apples in a satchel and began to adjust the ropes around their waists. Looking down the rope, he knew that the men were trying to get out of the roof.
The Pope was in a hurry, and gave a vague look to the old locksmith who had asked Eugen if he could leave. Then, a violent struggle began.
"Don't worry about my safety, the golden apple is our only chance to rise, as long as we can keep the golden apple, I will die without complaint, hurry up, grab the golden apple!"
Hearing the Pope's urgent order, the people outside were a little overwhelmed. Seeing that it was not possible, the Pope gritted his teeth and directly collided with the saber that Eugen used to hold him hostage. A visible streak of blood appeared on his neck, and the Pope clutched his neck and gradually fell. The knights outside turned red in the eyes at once, and the Pope chose death, so they could not live up to the people. More than a hundred knights rushed in at once, and Eugen and they quickly turned on the switch, allowing the rope to begin to contract.
The others quickly ascended, and Eugen with a warrior held off the knights below. Under the concentrated fire of the Type 81 assault rifles, these knights were temporarily unable to enter it. Eugen told his men to go first, and when he did, the old locksmith suddenly pounced on him and slashed his satchel with a dagger, and the golden apple fell so that Eugen had no time to grab it. It turned out that this old locksmith was the spy of the Church after the locksmith who had snitched off Charles VI had escaped just in case.
He is a church man himself, and his lockpicking skills are also very good. He broke into it to prevent people from continuing to escape. He received a signal from the Pope that he could not be allowed to take the golden apple with him. So, he waited for this time, suddenly jumped out, and snatched the golden apple back. Eugen had no time to fall, and without their weapons to suppress it, the knights had already entered. If you go in, you're just going to die.
Luckily, he has a backup plan. The entire house was filled with the kingdom's latest high-intensity explosives. When it explodes, shells equivalent to two 152mm heavy howitzers hit here, and everything inside will be destroyed. Eugen immediately pressed the remote control, and then jumped to the outside. The whole room, completely bombed into ruins. The knights who rushed into it were all reduced to pieces. Even the knights who crowded at the door did not survive.
A fragment popped out and stuck into the plank next to Eugen, and when he saw it, it was actually a part of the golden apple they had seen earlier. Now, Eugen was sure that the golden apple had been destroyed, and he didn't go inside to investigate, the explosion had already attracted everyone's attention. With the shards, they began to run wildly. The people of the Holy Roman Empire gave another assist, and they came to snatch the artifact, fearing that the artifact would be lost, and began to increase their attacks.
Eugen they ran out before the bullets ran out, they didn't know, the archbishop was fine. After they left, the archbishop walked into the ruins and, next to the old locksmith's body, found a brilliant sapphire. The archbishop picked up the sapphire, and suddenly a burst of golden light appeared beside him, and the knights around him were stunned, and then fell to their knees one by one.
