Newcana Castle held.
The drawbridge was lowered, and the knights stepped into the unbuilt castle amid the cheers of the defending soldiers. After the knights entered the city gate, they took off their helmets. The commander found that among the cavalry, many of the people at the front already had some gray hair.
The soul of this cavalry is composed of these old subordinates who have followed the Duke of Buckingham to fight on the battlefield for many years.
After the Duke of Buckingham entered the castle, he did not rest, and directly summoned the commander of Newcana.
The number of royal personal soldiers and old ministries that followed him was not large, and the victory of the battle was attributed to the surprise measures taken by the Duke of Buckingham. The most important thing now is not to completely defeat one or two rebel armies, but to defend this important military castle for the king.
The map was spread out on the table, and the commander reported to the Duke of Buckingham about the situation in Newcana during this time.
This uprising in the North was a long-planned rebellion.
Construction of Newcana Castle had to come to a standstill after the Ingres transport line from the southwest was cut off by the rebels. The area north of Newcana Castle was completely in the hands of the rebels, and the situation to the west and east would not be much better. At the beginning of the war, the commander devoted all his strength to the defense, except sending people to deliver letters to the palace.
"However, the situation is very bad."
The commander said helplessly.
"The castle is too damaged."
The Duke of Buckingham nodded slightly.
Newcana Castle had never been completed. This time, the enemy's attack at all costs almost destroyed all the defenses on the north side of the castle. The tower collapsed and some of the city walls were damaged. When the rebels regrouped and attacked, the castle would be difficult to hold.
There is only one way to keep this castle:
Offense instead of defense.
Now it is possible to launch an attack on Newcana Castle again. It is the rebel army led by Prince Will of Newcana, which is closer to here.
Prince Will was stationed in the town of Verna, and the rout of the rebels would soon send back news of the failed siege. The Duke of Buckingham made a decision quickly after consulting with his generals.
Just after the siege was over, the scouts were sent out of the castle.
They were ordered to scout the trail of Prince Will's army.
Without waiting too long, the scouts brought back the news they wanted from the Duke of Buckingham.
As the Duke of Buckingham and the others judged, Prince Will, who was stationed in the town of Carna, led his army to prepare for the second siege. They followed the road between the Lacey River and Newcana Castle, not very fast because they carried a lot of siege equipment.
After several days of rest, the recharged cavalry once again set off with the Duke of Buckingham.
They left the castle and went to the lower slope of the Lacey River, which has been a battlefield from time immemorial. There is a sparse forest on the border of the slope.
The Duke of Buckingham's army will await the arrival of the enemy behind the woods.
…
Abyss Strait.
The sea was as deep as ink, and the wind and waves were turbulent. In the midst of the raging waves, ships with white sails sailed forward. In the midst of those bulging white sails is the holy cross. On the deck, the sailors worked in an orderly manner, and on the deck, there were other people.
They are well-armoured, with crosses on their tunics.
The way these people dress tells them who they are.
Knights Templar.
The white shell-like ship was on the eastern shore of the Abyss Strait, all the way up to Blasey.
The identity of these ships is clear - they are Templar ships long out of sight. Hundreds of warships broke through the waves, and the holy ship of the Holy Court did not cease to exist, as some people had guessed. On the contrary, they became more terrifying, more massive, more unstoppable.
Warships, Knights.
The Holy Court drew his sword for the Lord, the King of Hosts.
They will use this fire and sword to build up God's kingdom on earth for God.
The chilling knights did not see that black butterflies flew lightly from the air above their heads.
The devil arrived at Blasey one step ahead of the Holy Court's army.
Legrand on the west bank of the Abyss Strait is experiencing war, and Blaisey can be called Legrand's brother or sister - it is also facing war at this time.
The devil opened his black umbrella and strolled poised through a city in Blasey.
The sky was gray, and there were knights galloping across the streets from time to time, and the cross flags hung high everywhere in the city. This means that the city has accepted the rule of the Holy See.
"Yeah. It's really fast."
The devil raised his umbrella slightly, admiring a tulip banner being torn down and thrown into a stinky gutter.
At the coronation of Ferry III, the Pope took out the letter that Cremer V had written to the Holy See.
—The letter promising to surrender to the Holy Court the secular dominion of the entire Lowland Territory and the western part of the kingdom.
With the "gift of Cremer V", the Pope asked Blasey's new monarch Ferry III to obtain the power due to the Holy See, and claimed that "it is precisely because the monarch of Blasey has forgotten that he had promised to The donation of the Holy Lord is why we ushered in the great plague of the Black Death, which is the divine punishment of the Holy Lord, and only by repenting in time can we be redeemed."
After the identification of the great nobles of Blaisey who were present, the letter was indeed a letter written by King Cremer V.
The Holy Court was aggressive, and most of the great nobles defected to the Holy Court. It is said that the scene that day was also a very frequent drama.
Ferry III managed to withstand the pressure.
He used a tactic of delaying the army, claiming that the specific scope of the western part of the gift to the Holy Court in the letter needs to be carefully discussed, and the two sides need a more formal agreement. After the papal mission left the capital, Ferry III immediately turned his face, not only did not hand over the western part of the kingdom, but began to mobilize the army.
In retaliation for Ferry III's treachery, the Pope immediately declared:
Expel Ferry III's religious membership, abolish his monarchy, lift the oath of allegiance to Ferry III by Blaise's subjects, call on Blaise's lords to conquer sinners for the Holy Lord, and call on Blaise's people to rise up and overthrow The monarch who brought disaster to them. [1]
Prince Charles, who had previously been defeated by Ferry III in the race for the throne, was the first to answer the Pope's call.
A massive civil war broke out.
But is this really just a civil war
The devil held his umbrella and watched a black carriage pass in front of him.
On the carriage, there are exquisite reliefs, the fire and the serpent are coiled around the cross, and the cross is like a sword, nailed to the serpent.
This is the carriage of the Judgment.
The black iron carriage had no shielding effect on the devil, and he clearly knew that there were two masked black monks sitting in the carriage at this time.
"A little gift."
the devil said briskly.
He didn't forget that these guys actually tried to tear up the king's soul in vain last time - what a joke! In order to take away His Majesty's soul, how much has he done up to now
The devil snapped his fingers, and black flames burned silently on the carriage.
The black-clothed cultivator in the carriage realized that something was wrong, and grabbed the iron sword to get up, but found that the carriage seemed to be directly blocked by someone, and they couldn't open it no matter how hard they hit. They could only watch helplessly as the snake-like flames surrounded themselves, and the terrifying heat seemed to be burning their souls together.
And the ordinary people who come and go on the street are unaware of this.
The devil made a little trick.
They hadn't seen the carriage at all, and they didn't even know that not far from themselves, a devil was imitating the Holy Court and held a "burning" for the monks of the Inquisition.
"Yeah, I hope you remember—"
The corners of the devil's lips lifted slightly.
"Don't reach out to other people's treasures next time."
There was an indescribable coldness in his smile.
Even the man and the carriage were reduced to a pile of ashes, and the devil continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened.
As for the Arbiter of the Holy Court disappearing out of thin air in this city, how much trouble will it bring to the rulers of this city... Then what does it have to do with him
His target was St. Var's Cathedral in the territory of Blaisey.
There is said to have preserved a relic of the Holy Court.
Why are there so many shameful thieves in this world who love to take other people's things as their own
The devil thought, he held a black umbrella and silently melted into the darkness.
Behind him, a troop of cavalry galloped past the army that had joined the expedition against Ferry III.
…
Legrand, the king has arrived at the Rose Palace.
"The Holy Court has been preparing for a long time."
The king opened the last letter from Blasey.
The reason why it was the last one was because the rest of the overseas spies who belonged to Legrand in Blaise had been difficult to contact.
The letter talks about Blasey's current mess.
Blaise was more affected by the Black Death than Legrand.
During the Black Death, Blasey was infected city by city, and the dead piled up. In the face of the Black Death, the Blaisey royal family was powerless at all, and the Pope's embassy healed a patient who left doctors at a loss on the way to the coronation of Ferry III.
In this contrast, the concept of "the Lord's punishment" has become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
And when the Holy Court took out the "gift of Cremo V" and asked Ferry III to atone for the deception of the royal family against the Holy Lord, it would be easier to gain public recognition.
Ferry III really had nowhere to go.
The king was not surprised by Blasey's current situation.
A country that bowed its head in front of the Holy Court for too long, willingly handed its neck into the hands of the enemy, sacrificing other countries in exchange for survival... Such a cowardly country, when the sword of the Holy Court fell on its head, What can you do in a hurry
Helping Zhou to abuse is a sin in itself.
The king put down the letter.
General Sheehan came in and reported to him that everything was ready.
The king nodded slightly.
Soon, the chief of the housekeeping came in, and he helped himself to see the great king put on his armor. It wasn't really his job, but he asked the king, and the king promised him.
"The late king protects you."
With trembling hands, the head of the housekeeping arranged the iron armor for the king.
He stepped back and looked proudly at the king in silver armor.
The icy armor gave the king a completely different atmosphere than usual. The luxury of the court was erased at this time, leaving only the pure majesty, which was the iron-blooded soul of the ancestors of the Qiangwei family.
The Qiangwei family was born with swords, wars, and blood.
"You will win!"
The eyes of the House Chief's eyes were slightly moist.
The king did not speak, he nodded slightly, and then walked out of the Rose Palace with General Sheen.
Today, it is rare for Metzl Castle to see no snow.
Dazzling sky.
General John waited outside the city gates, and as he watched the king come on horseback, he bent down and saluted.
The king reined in the reins and looked at him condescendingly: "I hope that when I return, you will have your sword and iron gloves ready."
"I will."
General John answered loudly.
The king did not look at him again, nor did he make any further stops.
Outside the city, waiting for the king was an army ready to go.
The first is the king's rose iron cavalry.
Like the king, they were shrouded in a murderous aura. They rode on tall war horses, and both men and horses wore heavy plate and breastplates, and the sun shone on their armor, reflecting a dazzling light. The rose cavalry unfurled hundreds of scarlet king flags.
Behind the rose cavalry are cavalry led by lords from all over the world, and they hold flags representing their respective families.
In front of the motley flags of various colors, the hundreds of Scarlet King's flags were like a wave.
Horseshoe kick.
The king stopped his horse and stopped in front of everyone, his eyes swept over the army that belonged to him.
The sun shrouded the king, drawing scorching lines on the edges of his armor.
"Set off!"
The king ordered sharply.
The horses galloped, their armors rubbed together, making a loud noise, and all the flags were blown up by the wind, spreading out into a sea of murderous intent. This torrent of man and horse, iron and flesh and blood galloped up because of the king's will.
This is 1433.
On the east bank of the Abyss Strait, the kingdom of God on earth is being established, the light of the Holy Spirit spreads along with the Pope's will, the warships are above the raging waves, and the knights of the temple are about to set foot on the battlefield. On the west bank of the Abyss Strait, the Legrand Rebellion is rising, and the weak, such as Angel, Newcana, the Low Countries... have not been spared, and have also been involved in the whirlpool.
As if overnight, the whole world was ignited by the flames of war.
In this year, the king himself went on an expedition.
The author has something to say: [1] That is, the "decree of excommunication" of the monarch by the Pope in the Middle Ages. The most famous papal pardon in history was issued by Gregory VII, who announced the abolition of Henry IV, the revocation of the oath of allegiance to him by his subjects, and the suspension of bishops who supported Henry IV or threatened with excommunication. Henry IV's power was quickly weakened, and there was an upheaval in Saxony at that time, and finally Henry IV had to confess to the Pope.
John, the lost king of England, was also expelled from teaching.
