Chapter 67 Bauhinia Knight Sword and Neutron Sword
When the magicians stationed in the prison saw Gladstone holding the Redbud Knight Sword, they wisely retreated to both ends and took the initiative to make way for him.
The status of supreme commander in wartime is superior to that of the pope and king.
"Leah, are you okay?" Gladstone cut off the lock on the door with his sword and rushed into the attic.
"Uncle...this is a forbidden area of the sacred temple! How can you break in?"
When the title uncle came to her lips, Leah swallowed it back.
This is a secret that must never be told to anyone.
In fact, Leah has always known in her heart that Uncle Gladstone and the Pope have always been at odds with each other. Let alone the Holy Cathedral, even the Shenglan Magic Academy is not something he is willing to set foot in.
But now he appears in the attic prison, followed by the fully armed King's Guards.
Those who didn't know it thought he was here to rob the prison!
"Your Highness Leah, you can now tell everyone with confidence that Gladstone is your biological uncle. As long as I am alive, no one will dare to bully my niece in front of me."
Ignoring Principal Mani and Mr. Carl at the scene, Gladstone took Leah's little hand and wanted to take her out of the attic prison.
"Princess Leia is Gladstone's uncle, and the White Queen..."
When my thoughts come to this point, everything becomes clear.
The White Queen is Gladstone's biological sister, and she is the most orthodox bloodline of the Gladstone family, not some lowly fisherman girl.
Ten years ago, Gladstone was already the supreme commander in charge of the country's military and was known as the God of War in the military.
And Monty is the supreme ruler of the entire kingdom.
If these two people join forces, they will be able to fight against the divine power. The Pope absolutely does not want to see this happen, so he can only provoke these two brothers behind the scenes.
Later, the White Queen drank ginseng soup mixed with abortion pills and had an unexpected dystocia. After giving birth to little Leah by caesarean section, she died tragically in the palace.
As for the bowl of ginseng soup that was stolen, we still haven’t been able to find out who was behind it?
Therefore, Gladstone turned against Monty, blaming him for all his faults, and even led troops to attack Monty's royal city many times.
"I haven't seen you for a few months. My little Lia has lost a lot of weight. My uncle will take you out for dinner first. We can discuss other matters after dinner."
"Uncle, please wait a moment. I am a guilty person and am in retreat in the attic. I cannot leave without permission from the Pope."
"Even the Pope has no right to put the king under house arrest!"
Gladstone took out the Redbud Knight Sword and forced it into Leah's hand, "Do you know this Redbud Knight Sword? It represents the supreme royal power. Now that I entrust it to you, it is equivalent to entrusting the entire Monty Kingdom to you."
Leave it to you to manage.
But you don’t need to worry too much, I will personally serve as the chief minister and help you organize the government."
Petersburg has long been captured by the Kuye tribe and the Li tribe and has been reduced to ruins. How long will it take to rebuild?
Gladstone now has enough time to assist Leia and let her slowly grow into the most qualified new king.
"Uncle, what do you mean by this? Father, he..." Leah clenched the Redbud Knight Sword with both hands, and tears suddenly filled her eyes.
The Redbud Knight Sword has been King Monty's personal token from ancient times to the present and will never leave his side.
Only in a special situation, when the old king dies unexpectedly, will the Redbud Knight Sword be urgently awarded to the heir apparent.
"King Monty is fine, but he has a serious infectious disease and cannot see you for the time being, so he entrusted me with the Redbud Knight Sword to hand the throne into your hands."
Gladstone pushed back the imperial troops and squatted in front of Leah, "That little brother from the East is still alive. Without him, I would have died in Petersburg."
"Have you seen Chen Feng? Is he still alive?"
After hearing the news, Princess Leia was overjoyed. She took Gladstone's calloused hand and said, "Uncle, please forgive him for his crime. The frost witch planted poison in my body. In order to antidote, Chen Feng,
Only then was he forced to surrender to the pants industry clan.
I firmly believe that what happened next was not of his own free will."
Leah had long known about the burning and killing of the 40,000 knights in Star City, and she also knew that the commander of the orcs at that time was Chen Feng.
"The burning of the knights was an order from Greenland, and then the blame was put on Chen Feng. I will find a way to help him clear his name."
Liya's words are completely consistent with Chen Feng's.
This is enough to prove that Chen Feng did not lie. He indeed defected to the pants industry clan to help Leah find an antidote.
"Where is Chen Feng? Is he with you?"
Liya rushed out of the room excitedly, looking left and right, but could not find any trace of Chen Feng.
"In order to help me delay time, he lured Andre away alone..."
Gladstone's tone was solemn, and Leah thought it was bad news. Before he could finish speaking, she hurriedly asked: "You mean, he is dead?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness. Later, the defenders of Sun Flame Tower told me that they saw Chen Feng afterwards, and he looked exactly like the portrait on the wanted poster. This means that he was lucky enough to escape from being chased by Andre."
At that time, Gladstone was in a coma due to poisoning and missed the opportunity to meet Chen Feng.
"We all know that Chen Feng is innocent, why are we still wanted for him?"
If the wanted order is not removed in time, Chen Feng will have nowhere to go. As long as he gets close to the human city, he will be hunted down.
Like a mouse crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats it, but it cannot return home.
"I just returned to King Monti City and was busy meeting with His Majesty the King. I haven't had time to do these trivial matters yet. Later I will order a nationwide arrest warrant for him.
Chen Feng is holding the neutron sword that I gave him previously. It is a token of troop deployment. If you show it when passing through major towns, no knights will embarrass him."
Gladstone summoned the Imperial Guard and asked him to convey the order to withdraw the wanted order to Parliament.
He also notified major cities and small towns that once traces of Chen Feng are discovered, they will immediately convey Gladstone's instructions and take him back to King Monty City immediately.
"The Redbud Knight Sword can mobilize the Forbidden Army, Templar Knights and Magicians. Please be sure to carry it with you, Your Highness." Gladstone reminded.
When I entrusted the Neutron Sword to Chen Feng, I hoped that he could become Princess Leia's chief minister and assist in the government affairs instead of Gladstone.
After all, the future belongs to young people.
The Redbud Knight Sword and the Neutron Sword originally complemented and restricted each other, with each side holding half of the military power.
The Redbud Knight Sword can mobilize the knights with titles in Monty King City, including the Pope's Guards.
The neutron sword can mobilize sword-wielding knights across the country. Most of these knights are from civilians. They only have knighthoods and no noble medals.
This earliest division of military power came from the Pope's arrangement. The promotion of civilians with outstanding military achievements was originally intended to weaken the royal power and cultivate Gladstone to restrain King Monty.
At first, the effect was good.
But he never imagined that the two men would later become brothers in need during the war. After Gladstone went on a voyage to see the outside world, he became more and more resistant to divine authority, which had seriously threatened the status of the Pope.
Later, the five main castle alliances replaced the military power division system.
Even so, the Redbud Knight Sword and the Neutron Sword are still tokens for dispatching troops and have absolute authority.
