The next morning, when Leon came downstairs, the druid Berkerell was already waiting there.

He wrapped himself tightly in his cloak, revealing only a pair of turquoise eyes.

The streets were in a mess, and the taverns were empty.

Berkeley said in a playful tone, "Was it okay to rest last night?"

"Not bad. ”

Leon frowned, "Do you think this is a very interesting thing?"

"Of course not, I just think you're unlucky, there are so many people living in the tavern, and they chose you. ”

"It's not me who is unlucky, it's the undead. ”

Leon replied nonchalantly.

He hated the druid's playful tone, and the massacre of the Crusaders against the Mutu reminded him of the Jiankang massacre in his previous life.

"As long as we have the money, maybe we'll be responsible for helping the church slaughter heretics like the druids in the future. ”

"Ha, the Druids are not heresies for the Church, we are only heretics, and for the Holy See in Rome, the Greek Orthodox Church is heretical. ”

Leon sneered: "Paganism will only get worse, maybe when we come back from the portal, you will hear the news that the Pope of Rome has called on the kings to launch a crusade against the Celts." ”

"Truth be told, your process of dealing with the undead has gone much smoother than I expected. ”

"I've dealt with quite a few of them before, and I know them very well and know how to restrain them. ”

"The Witcher is still working part-time as a soul slayer?"

Leon took a deep breath to calm himself down and asked, "Are your ritual materials ready?"

"Of course, ritual magic is not as complicated as wizards' magic arrays, and the materials used can be found everywhere, but the materials are time-sensitive and generally not easy to preserve, so I need to prepare them temporarily. ”

"Then let's go. ”

The word "heretical" refers to different branches of the same denomination, such as Orthodox Christianity to Catholicism and Sunni to Shia.

He did not use the word appropriately.

"Alright, Mr. Witcher, don't be so nervous, we are collaborators, temporary companions, and you shouldn't be so hostile to me. ”

The two largest of these were the Hospitallers of the White Cross on a black background, also known as the Knights of St. John, and the Templars of the Red Cross on a white background......

The two knights were hostile to each other, almost incompatible, but on the road, they always maintained restraint.

It is worth mentioning that the Templars here are not the demon hunters that the Church formed only last year, and it is one of the three most famous knight orders in history.

Leon went to the courtyard to pick up his horse and embarked on the final leg of his journey with Berkereal to the holy city of Jerusalem.

The road was filled with Crusader nobles and knights from all over Western Europe, as well as their attendants, as well as Crusader sergeants, pilgrims, and levies.

A war is in chaos, and it is about to set off the appearance of war.

He pinned a swastika to his chest that he had brought in his hand in the tavern, rode towards a group of knights, and in a short time rushed back again.

His good attire made him stand out from the crowd of down-and-out knights, or down-and-out nobles without fiefdom, and with little effort, the knights gave him all the information he wanted to know.

"That's right, it's going to be a war, and the protagonist is the Fatimid prime minister Saladin you mentioned earlier, but he's not the prime minister anymore. ”

The Knights Hospitaller, as its name suggests, is a life-saving organization, it is a military organization in the full sense of the word, and it is no less evil than the Knights Templar.

Berkere sighed: "It seems that there is another war, is it possible that a new round of crusades is about to start again?"

Li Ang said: "I'll inquire." ”

The druid asked with interest, "Who do you think will win?"

Leon frowned and said, "How do I know, I'm just a witcher, do you expect me to talk to you about politics or military?"

"You make a simple guess. ”

"The Fatimid caliph Adid had died of illness three days earlier, and Saladin succeeded in taking his place as the new caliph. ”

He was marching toward Jerusalem with an army of 30,000 knights, all of whom had been called by King Baldwin IV of Jerusalem to protect the holy city. ”

Leon told Berkeley what he had inquired about.

Berkerell pointed to the Crusader knights and said, "But you know, these Crusader nobles have never been monolithic, and they may still be fighting each other. ”

Leon said noncommittally: "I don't think so, from a secular point of view, the crusade will definitely be defeated, but don't forget that there is also the power of the church." ”

Berkeley muttered, "This could be an opportunity for us. May Saladin's transcendent beings be able to lure those two sovereign angels away. ”

"I guess Jerusalem can win. ”

Berkerell shook his head: "In a hurry, the Kingdom of Jerusalem can cobble together a few thousand people at most, unless the Grand Duke of Antioch, the Count of Tripoli, and others can immediately send troops to help, otherwise the difference in strength is so great, I don't see that the leper king of Jerusalem has a chance to win." ”

Baldwin IV suffered from leprosy, a terminal disease that slowly swallowed up human life, so Baldwin IV was also known as the Leper King.

Because it was on the main road, in order not to attract attention, the speed of the two people was relatively normal, and they did not show their invincible speed at all.

So it was not until evening that they arrived outside Jerusalem.

In the dark night, the city walls are full of light and shadow.

Li Ang frowned and said, "Don't be that kind of delusional fantasy of profiteering, I'm worried that those two angels will leave with the portal after being alarmed." ”

"I can tell you responsibly that your worries are completely unfounded, and that such a large portal across the world is not so easy to move. ”

"That's good. ”

"Of course, it's to enter the city, the portal is at the bottom of the Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre, how can you do it without entering the city. ”

"I mean, enter the city by unconventional means, or follow the team and disguise us as pilgrims who have come to support the Holy City?"

Berkere: "Of course it's the latter, and it's better to be cautious at this critical moment." You pretend to be a Crusader knight, and I'm your squire leading the horse, it's as simple as that. ”

The Crusader knights and the torches of the pilgrims formed a long dragon of fire that hung on the road.

Leon and Berkeley sat at the end of the line, talking in whispers.

"Are we going into the city or are we waiting outside the city?"

"If it were Saladin's team, the rabble would have been slaughtered. ”

Leon said with some sarcasm.

Some people thought that Saladin's vanguard had arrived, and they were so frightened that they ran away, while others called for their nearby companions to be soldiers, and they went their own way to try to defend themselves against the incoming enemy.

As the two were talking, in the vast Gobi behind them, the sound of horses' hooves gradually sounded, smoke and dust billowed out, and a group of knights quickly approached.

The ranks were chaotic, and no one knew whether they were friends or foes.

His eyesight was much better than that of ordinary people, and he could see that these people were wearing the Red Cross flag, which was clearly the Templar ranks.

Berkerell said casually: "Saladin's army has not grown wings, so it will not come so quickly. ”
