Chapter 82: Destruction
"Do you know what the consequences of doing this?" asked the man with a trembling voice. He didn't expect Gotfrey to propose such a crazy plan. You should know that there are not only Greeks who believe in Orthodox Church, but also a large number of Latin immigrants who are also Catholics. If this matter is leaked, it will be subject to more than just the anger of the Greeks and the condemnation of the Catholic world.
But Gottfry seemed to care at all, and replied indifferently with a calm and cold manner, "So what? If the facts are not concerned, it will be just a bad debt. Besides, even if the Holy See pursued us, wouldn't the Venetians robbed Zara in the end? "Gottfry of course thought about the consequences. In such a place where the Holy See is beyond the reach of the Holy See, no matter how much evil is done, no punishment will be received, because they are soldiers who respect the cross, and any sin will eventually be forgiven. On the surface, Pope Innocent expanded the power of the Holy See to the extreme, but in fact it has already shaken the credibility of the church. So things that are thousands of times more than this have been done, and what else can Gottfry hesitate to this day!
Duke Otto, who was asked in this way, was speechless for a while, and he really had no better choice, otherwise the ending would be that the entire army would be wiped out. Finally, after a moment of struggle in his heart, he made a decision in helplessness.
"Okay, I can only do this. I'll hurry up and send someone down to do it."
As he said that, Duke Otto turned his gaze to the little nobleman who had been standing silently behind him, and said, "Go and give orders for me, that Earl Robber immediately mobilizes the army to return to defense and prepare to act according to the plan of His Excellency Gotforry." Although he had no impression of this young man, the suggestions he had made to himself before left a good impression in his heart, so he regarded him as a capable subordinate without hesitation and ordered him.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the little nobleman in front of him suddenly rushed up. The two guards around him had no time to react. Then the man who was advancing forward had already stabbed a sharp dagger into the unprepared Alto Roche's chest. The two layers of chain mail were penetrated directly. When he encountered this sudden fatal blow, Duke Otto's face was full of shock. He had never expected such a thing to happen.
"Otto!"
"Duke Duke!"
Amid the screams of everyone, the assassination little noble pushed away Ottoroche, who had become a corpse. As a monarch, it was extremely humiliating and sad to end in this form. Gottfry was also shocked when he saw this scene. When he carefully saw the outline of the unpretentious assassinator in front of him, he was suddenly shocked and shouted out the other party's name.
"It's you, Baptist Sovadia!"
After the assassin wiped away the blood on his face, Gottfry immediately recognized him. It was the fish that escaped the net in the coup in Corinth. He had always suspected that Sir Baptist, who had taken away the nephew of Marquis William. No wonder he could easily trick the defenders into the fortress of Duke Otto without being noticed by anyone. But now it seemed that he had never expected that Baptist had surrendered to the Greeks who should have been enemies. In this way, Charles Charles Prit had really fallen into Justinian's hands.
"That's right, of course it's me, Lord Gong Xiang, we're meeting again!" Looking in front of us calmly, Baptist nodded expressionlessly. The so-called Count Robert had already been cut off by the Turks when the Roman army invaded the city, so he was able to successfully enter the Duke of Athens' castle with the dead Count Robert's sword, and his purpose of coming here was finally achieved.
"I really didn't expect you to surrender to the cunning and rogue Greeks. You should be a talented person who values honor, Baptiste!" Gottef said in unchanged eyes at the situation in front of him, and took two steps back. The two guards of the Principal of Athens who had reacted soared out their swords and looked at the hateful assassin in front of him.
However, Baptist did not even look at them directly, but his eyes were locked in Gottfrey, who was directly opposite him. "I think you should have guessed when you did such a thing to Marquis William. Everything you did in Corinth should be time to repay." As he said that, the young noble pointed at Gottfrey with the short sword in his hand.
But Gotfry, who was unrepentant, roared hysterically at this moment, "Repay? You don't know anything! That guy William is the same. He never knows that I have been helping him create the Achaean vassal state, but his short-sighted eyes are about to destroy everything I have worked hard to do, and even want to deprive me of the reward I should have received. He is worth the death of his life!"
"But the same will do the same for you!" Even though Gotforry was extremely excited, Baptist was still untouched at this time, and suddenly dodged the Athenian guard behind him, and was still dodging. At the same time, he sent the short sword into the opponent's shoulder blade without armor protection and killed him with one blow, and blood was splashed everywhere. The attack of another guard also arrived as scheduled, but Baptist, who had snatched the guard's long sword, raised and slashed, directly removed one of the opponent's arm, and another sword slashed open the opponent's chest and left a shocking fatal wound.
After the second guard was killed by Baptist, he heard a "bang" sound, and his previous broken arm fell to the ground with the sword. Gottfry, who saw the opportunity, seemed to see a life-saving straw pounced on him desperately. This was his last chance to win. This scene was like a hungry wild dog pounced on a bone, but before his finger could touch the hilt, a severe pain in his calf made Gottfry scream and almost fainted. It was Baptist who directly nailed the opponent's leg to the floor with his sword.
Baptist kicked away the sword in front of Gottfrey and kicked away his last hope. The expressionless man stepped on Gottfrey's back, slowly bent down, and whispered: "I will not deal with you personally, and my goal has been achieved now, but this does not mean that you are not punished. I will take you out and let you get your due outcome."
But Gottfry, who finally recovered from the severe pain, sneered: "Just you, don't forget that we are still controlling here, and you will fight out in the heavy siege. You are too proud of yourself!"
Seeing that the other party did not directly take his life, Gotforry still held the last glimmer of hope, but Baptist shook his head and said, "Of course I'm not alone. Listen, they are almost here-"
The trumpet of the Roman army's attack was sounded at this moment, and this was very familiar to the Latins, but what scared them even more was that the shouts of killing were getting closer and closer. Even in the place where Gottfry was placed under house arrest in the depths of the castle, the deafening sound was already heard, as if it was right in front of them...
