Williams and his party, who had walked out of the royal court, were currently riding in a carriage traveling through the city. In the carriage, a bishop accompanying Williams looked at Archbishop Williams with some confusion and said: "Bishop, then.
Romanus V has no good intentions at all, he clearly wants to drag me into trouble with the Holy See."
Obviously no one is a fool. Lomanus V's calculation was indeed good, but he could not hide it from others.
Archbishop Williams sneered with a bit of disdain on his lips and said: "Lomanus V's little calculation was indeed good, but this time he will be disappointed."
As he spoke, Archbishop Williams glanced at the bishops under his command and said: "Don't forget, this time it was Lomanus V who personally asked the Pope to come and consecrate him. When the time comes, the Pope comes, Lomanus V
If King Mannus V wants to do anything else, it will be out of his hands."
Several other bishops reacted and nodded after hearing this: "The Archbishop was thoughtful. If the Pope hadn't always been concerned about the opinions of various countries, how could he have allowed Romanus V to continue resisting our Holy See? Yes, he took the initiative to ask the Holy See this time.
If you come here, then if you want to get rid of the control of the Holy See, I'm afraid it's just a delusion."
As the saying goes, everyone has his or her own plans. When Romanus V plotted against the Holy See, the people in the Holy See were also plotting against Romanus V. It just depends on who can have the last laugh.
Archbishop Williams' ability to do things is quite strong. In other words, the Holy See has always been coveting the Byzantine Empire. Otherwise, Williams, one of the strongest men in the Holy See, would not be sent to the Byzantine Empire.
Now that we finally saw the hope of taking over the Byzantine Empire, even though we knew that coming here would be dangerous, none of the senior officials of the Holy See would give up this rare opportunity.
As for the invaders from the east, to be honest, as a tyrannical force entrenched in this vast land, the Holy See really has nothing to fear.
You must know that there are no less than dozens of countries, large and small, under the control of the Holy See, and the Holy See itself is also very powerful. As long as the Holy See is willing, it can form an extremely powerful army at any time for conquest.
In just three days, a team from the Holy See appeared outside Constantinople. The specifications of this team can be said to be the best in the Holy See. It was led by the Pope himself, the head of the Holy See. Even
The second most powerful person in the Holy See, the Inquisitor, also came with him, and among them was a Holy See army numbering tens of thousands.
On the high city wall, Lomanus V looked far away and saw the team from the Holy See.
The few divine knights standing next to Lomanus V looked solemnly at the mighty Vatican troops coming from a distance, and couldn't help showing worries on their faces.
On the other hand, Lomanus V seemed very calm. Since he had made a decision, he naturally had to make all psychological preparations. In the view of Lomanus V, the worst result was that the Byzantine Empire fell to
It's just under the control of the Holy See.
Of course, what Lomanus V most wanted to see was that the Holy See and the invaders from the east could fight to the death. By then, the Byzantine Empire would still be a powerful presence on this land, and even the Holy See would not be able to do so.
Force them to submit.
A voice came, and Archbishop Williams, who was dressed in attire, led several bishops and walked towards Lomanus V. As he walked, he said: "The Pope has arrived, please come with me."
Go and greet you.”
Romanus V laughed loudly, and said to Archbishop Williams with a very enthusiastic look: "The Pope has come from afar, and as the host, I should personally welcome him."
When Lomanus V and Archbishop Williams walked down the city wall and appeared at the city gate, following Lomanus V's order, the city gate slowly opened, and at the same time, the people of the Holy See
Also appeared outside the city gate.
Looking at the gradually approaching carriage, a vague glint flashed in the eyes of Lomanus V. Over the years, Lomanus V has been committed to blocking the influence of the Holy See on the Byzantine Empire. I am afraid that he is dreaming
No one could have imagined that one day, he would personally welcome the Pope into the city of Constantinople.
Taking a deep breath, suppressing the racing thoughts in his heart, Lomanus V took a step forward towards the carriageway: "Romanus V, I have seen His Majesty the Pope!"
A soft voice came from the carriage: "No need to be formal."
Immediately after, a figure walked out of the carriage. This was a man in rich clothes. He looked about fifty years old. He gave people a very sacred feeling, as if there was really a god walking in the carriage.
The world is normal.
As the being who is said to be the closest to the gods in the Holy See, the Pope's cultivation is top-notch in the world, and is comparable to the strong men in the realm of Heavenly Masters in the Central Plains.
The inquisitor with a solemn air was standing next to the Pope at this moment. His awe-inspiring aura was impossible to ignore. Even if he stood with the dazzling Pope, he did not lose his own brilliance.
Lomanus V only took one look at it, and couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion in his heart. He thought that the Pope was the only one in the Holy See who had a cultivation level comparable to the gods. He never thought that the Inquisitor in front of him was not much worse than the Pope.
, is also an existence in the realm of a heavenly master.
Thinking that he was very likely to lure a wolf into the house, Lomanus V couldn't help but feel a little worried. At this moment, Lomanus V actually had a strange idea.
I hope the invaders from the east can be more powerful, otherwise they may not be enough to cause fatal damage to the Holy See.
If others were to know what Lomanus V was thinking, I don't know what kind of reaction they would have.
King Lomanus V suppressed the turbulence in his heart and kept a smile on his face, and said slightly: "Everyone, come with me. I have already laid out a banquet, specially to welcome you."
Just when the Pope led the Holy See troops into the city of Constantinople, a small city a hundred miles away from Constantinople had been easily captured, and a large group of troops came in force.
Chu Yi, who was walking on horseback, looked at Lu Junyi and others beside him, holding a whip in one hand and said: "How long will it take to reach Constantinople City?"
After hearing this, Lu Junyi said to Chu Yi: "Go back to the General Manager. If nothing unexpected happens, according to the current marching speed, we will be able to reach Constantinople by sunset."
Chu Yi nodded slightly when he heard this. If only a small number of them were on their way, they would have arrived in Constantinople a few days ago, but Chu Yi and others couldn't leave the army alone.
Even if they can rush to Constantinople and even eliminate the resisters in Constantinople, with only thirty or forty people, how can they still control a city with countless people?
The army is already marching at a very fast speed. Otherwise, it would be difficult to cover a distance of a hundred miles in half a day.
sunset
Constantinople, royal court
The banquet has long since dispersed, and Lomanus V is currently leading his ten divine knights and sitting in a large hall with everyone in the Holy See, looking solemnly at the messengers in front of him.
Regarding the actions of Chu Yi's army, to be honest, not only the Holy See, but also Lomanus V sent people to keep an eye on the actions. The two parties gathered here now precisely because they got the news that Chu Yi and others
I'm afraid it won't be long before he appears outside Constantinople.
Romanos V glanced at the Pope and said: "Your Majesty the Pope, I have told Archbishop Williams before that as long as the Byzantine Empire can survive this disaster, then the Byzantine Empire will definitely surrender to the Holy See."
The Pope put down the tea in his hand and raised his head to glance at Lomanus V. That glance gave Lomanus V the feeling that all his little thoughts had been seen through.
However, although Romanus V was a little nervous, he was not panicked. He did not believe that the Pope could not guess his plans. This was a conspiracy. The Holy See knew his plans, but in order to plot the Byzantine Empire, he had to take the initiative.
fate.
"I hope you will not forget what you said today, otherwise..."
Before the Pope finished speaking, a chilling air suddenly filled the air. Who was it but the Inquisitor sitting there motionless.
As the person in charge of the punishment of the Holy See, the intimidation power of the Inquisitor in the Holy See is probably even stronger than that of the Pope.
The inquisitor dressed in black just glanced at Lomanus V lightly, which made him feel uneasy that he was being targeted by the devil.
Taking a deep breath, Lomanus V even had to laugh to cover up his inner uneasiness and said: "I will do what I say, and I can guarantee that as long as the invading enemy is repelled this time, I will
I will accept the Holy See’s decree in this royal court.”
There was a sound of rapid footsteps, and a knight in armor was seen hurriedly walking into the hall with a look of panic on his face. He knelt down with a thud and saluted everyone present: "I have met you all, my lords."
King Lomanus V looked at the knight, leaned forward slightly and stared at him: "But those Easterners showed up?"
The knight nodded and said: "The opponent's army has appeared several miles outside the city and is rushing towards the city at the moment. Judging from the situation, it seems that they want to attack the city in one go!"
Archbishop Williams, who had been sitting there, couldn't help but said after hearing this: "Oh, I never thought that the other party would be so unwise. He came from afar and didn't even prepare to let the army rest before attacking the city. Isn't he afraid of his soldiers?
Is the horse weak?"
Archbishop Williams can think of things. Chu Yi, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others can all be called famous commanders in the world. How could they not realize this? In this case, Chu Yi and others are still
Naturally, he had his own considerations in preparing to attack the city of Constantinople in one go.
Romanus V suddenly stood up and said to the Pope and others: "Your Majesty, please!"
The Pope slowly stood up and walked towards the city wall with Romanus V.
Soon, a group of people stood on the city wall, looking high up into the distance. At this moment, they saw a cloud of smoke and dust billowing from the distance. The ground was shaking because of the galloping horses. Even if they were standing there,
You can feel the vibration of the earth even on the city wall.
"Coming!"
Seeing such a situation, everyone including the Pope showed a bit of surprise. After all, Archbishop Williams had said before that these Easterners had come from afar and would attack the city without even taking a break.
He has a lot of strength, but I'm afraid he won't be able to use it at all.
At this moment, the religious chief squinted his eyes and looked at the rapidly approaching army in the distance. A cold light flashed in his eyes and said: "Let me, the chief judge, come and see if these Easterners are as powerful as the legends say."
.”
As he spoke, he saw the religious inquisitor flying up, and swiping the scepter forward fiercely in his hand. Suddenly, a terrifying energy vibrated the void, almost visible to the naked eye, and moved straight ahead.
The galloping army swept past.
As a strong man at the level of a Celestial Master, a blow with all his strength cannot be resisted by ordinary people. Even a strong Celestial Master would only die in the face of this blow, let alone a group of soldiers.
If no one stops them this time, I am afraid that at least half of the tens of thousands of vanguard troops who bear the brunt will fall.
Destroying an army of tens of thousands in one blow is simply an easy task for a powerful Celestial Master.
But among the army, when the Pope and others appeared on the city wall and did not conceal their aura, Chu Yi and others had already sensed the aura of these powerful men from the Holy See.
Especially when the religious inquisitor took action, Chu Yi couldn't help but raise his brows, his eyes fell on Zhenren Luo beside him and said: "Zhenren Luo, you have worked hard."
Master Luo's eyes flashed with excitement. Hearing this, he stroked his beard and smiled and said: "The general manager is too polite. I have not made any contribution in coming here. It is my honor to be valued by the general manager."
As he spoke, Master Luo flicked the fly whisk in his hand. He strode out as gracefully as a fairy, and appeared in the air in the blink of an eye.
He swung the fly whisk forward in his hand, and a wave of incomparable energy swept towards the head religious inquisitor.
Just when Zhenren Luo appeared in front of people, the chief religious judge obviously noticed the aura of Zhenren Luo, and frowned, with a look of solemnity and excitement in his eyes.
Obviously, the chief religious judge has sensed the aura of Zhenren Luo who is not much weaker than him. As the saying goes, when you meet an opponent in chess, you will meet a good talent. The chief religious judge was happy to see Zhenren Luo. Instead of being worried about Zhenren Luo's strength, he was actually
It gave rise to a sense of joy.
"The Inquisitor of the Holy See, Roland!"
Sensing the thoughts coming from Chief Judge Roland, Luo Zhenren was just slightly startled. After reacting, he flicked his long sleeves and immediately suppressed the waves caused by the two people's attack. With a smile, he gave a Taoist salute and said: "Dao Sect of Song Dynasty"
, Master Luo!”
On the city wall, everyone had different expressions as they watched Master Luo and Judge Roland facing each other from afar.
Lomanus V's face became a little ugly. Apparently he did not expect that among the Easterners opposite him, there was someone who could rival Chief Referee Roland.
For a moment, Lomanus V was both excited and worried. He was worried about whether Constantinople could survive this disaster, but he was excited because the Holy See would have to pay a price, otherwise
, it would be difficult to repel these Eastern armies.
At this moment, everyone in the Holy See had no time to pay attention to Lomanus V. Everyone, including Archbishop Williams and the Pope, looked at Master Luo's figure solemnly.
The Pope subconsciously clenched the scepter in his hand and whispered to Archbishop Williams: "Why didn't our news mention that there are existences comparable to the level of gods in the opponent's army?"
Upon hearing the Pope's inquiry, Archbishop Williams couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Such beings would not take action at all in ordinary circumstances, so it makes sense that we did not get the news."
