After getting rid of the last ambush, David squatted down to check the man with the short axe. "It's interesting. This guy looks like he is a knight, and he is very good at using long swords, because he has a very thick mouth.
calluses, but his skin is very good, and when I dueled with him, I already found that he is not good at axes, so he is probably a knight pretending to be a bandit, and he chose to use it in order to avoid being discovered by us.
The ax is more like a weapon used by bandits."
"Are these soldiers sent by a certain bishop?"
Henry IV reacted quickly, frowned and said: "So are you chasing us, or are you chasing Cromwell and the others?"
"Cromwell!" Ye Yuanfeng said without hesitation: "Now that the pope is dead, Cromwell and Lord, who are most likely to become the new pope, have escaped and the other has disappeared. This is very difficult for those who are still in Canossa.
This is a great opportunity for the red archbishop of the castle, so I think there is another careerist in Canossa Castle, who wants to kill Cromwell, an unstable factor that will affect his rise to power.
"
"Yes, I also agree with Mr. Ye's opinion."
At this time, the masked Lord appeared in the forest unnoticed, "The knight who died in David's hands was named John. He was the son of a marquis, and he was also a newcomer promoted by me.
I originally planned to focus on training him for a few years and support him to become the chief knight of the Holy See, but I didn't expect that he would die here."
Lord shook his head and continued: "It seems that after I disappeared, my deputy felt that he could do it, so after taking over the power I left behind, he wanted to use it to gain power. Unfortunately, he didn't know that I
The knights who brought Canossa Castle are all young people. Although they look very powerful, they are still insufficient if they really want to fight because they are still too young."
"So that's it, then let's keep going and try to get Cromwell and Joan to the Vatican before the next wave of pursuers arrives." Henry IV said with a sigh of relief.
As a result, Ye Yuanfeng and others simply packed up the body, then got in the car and left. In order to increase the favorability of Cromwell and Joan, Henry IV did not forget to repeat Lord's words.
.
"As expected, there are constant pursuers."
Cromwell sighed and said helplessly: "I have mentioned many times a long time ago that I, Cromwell, will never be the pope, but those people just didn't believe me at all, and they all
You want to kill me as soon as possible."
"Who told you that your reputation in the Holy See is so high?"
Henry IV smiled and said: "If I were also a red archbishop, I would also think that you are the most promising candidate to become the next pope, so if I am also ambitious, then I will definitely take action against you.
, because opponents like you still have to be eliminated quickly."
"One thing to say, one thing to say, it's true."
Looking at Ye Yuanfeng who was adding jealousy to the side, Cromwell said with a wry smile: "Well, it seems that I have to admit that I am a favorable candidate for the Pope, but I want to say that I really don't want to be the Pope, because
Ambitious red archbishops are everywhere, especially those who are in power in various countries. They can now be said to be princes, and they obey and disobey the orders of the Holy See."
"Are you talking about Richelieu?"
When Henry IV said the three words "Richelieu", both Ye Yuanfeng and Cai Ji widened their eyes. After all, Richelieu is considered the most famous historical figure in the continent of Europa. In addition, some games later
The reshaping of Richelieu and the ship named after Richelieu gave birth to memes like "People can't talk to each other".
However, Cromwell did not notice the strange expressions of Ye Yuanfeng and Ye Yuanfeng, so he continued: "Yes, Richelieu is now very prosperous in France. After all, the current king of France is too weak.
, so an ambitious man like Richelieu could take the opportunity to ascend to power, and had already monopolized all the powers in France. All he had to do was proclaim himself emperor directly. However, we don’t have to worry about Richelieu choosing to usurp the throne, because Richelieu is
A smart man knows that if he chooses to usurp the throne, his life will end."
"That's right. Nowadays, the various kingdoms in Europa are basically in the hands of a few families, so everyone is related to each other. Although they may fight back and forth in normal times, our final bottom line is that even if the king can die, but
The throne must not fall into the hands of other families."
Henry IV frowned and continued: "If I remember correctly, although this Richelieu was also born into a noble family, his family's bloodline was not noble, so even if he could succeed in usurping the throne, he would soon be succeeded by France.
The current king’s family took action to form a coalition to send Richelieu and his family to hell, so Richelieu can be a powerful minister, but he can never be a king.”
"But what if France under Richelieu was very powerful?"
Cromwell said solemnly: "Today's France is actually not weak. It's just that the king cannot effectively integrate all the resources, so France looks strong on the outside and incompetent on the inside; and as far as I know, the people of France also treat the king very much."
Dissatisfied, thinking that he should do better in all aspects, and if Richelieu can do all this, then the strength of France should be able to compete with the entire Holy Roman Empire, and then there will really be countries willing to form a coalition
To deal with such a powerful France?"
Cromwell's words left Henry IV speechless.
As the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, Henry IV knew very well how terrifying the Holy Roman Empire would be once it was truly integrated, but he also knew very well how great the potential of the Kingdom of France was, because Henry IV had once
France had special thoughts when he learned that the Kingdom of France could not defeat a small Viking tribe and was forced to give up Normandy.
However, as Henry IV grew up, he quickly gave up this unrealistic idea.
"So, does Richelieu already have ambitions to usurp the throne?"
Cai Ji couldn't help but ask: "Now that the Pope has died suddenly, I think this is the best opportunity for Richelieu to take action, because the Holy See can't take action against him yet."
"No, I don't think Richelieu will take action in a short time, because the current King of France is not good at it, but his son is."
