Power and Empire Chapter 3274: The ladder of wild hope (1)
Snowflakes wrapped in the cold north wind and formed a white glow in front of them. A team of about a hundred knights moved westward from the wind and snow, their horses hooves deeply stepped into the snowdrift in front of them, and large swaths of snow fluttered in the face with the wind Putamia suddenly stopped her horse, her bright and pretty eyes looked forward with a chill, which was completely different from the image of being playful and shameless in front of the imperial emperor. The aura displayed on her at this moment was completely in line with her. The identity of the pope of a country, the pure white pope's robe covers her beautiful figure, and a head of hair hangs down from the hood. In this snow-like world, it is like a goddess of ice and snow descending on the earth
She narrowed her gaze to the famous and ominous place in front of her, and saw that the ground in front of her was obviously becoming low-lying and different. The round water beaches were like scars, large and small, and the surface of the pool was rolling with bubbles. , It’s like boiling, although it’s still hundreds of meters away, a rush of heat has blown over, and there is also an unpleasant pungent smell inside
Beside her, an older Templar suddenly violently restrained the squirting war horse, raised his finger to the huge spread out in front of a low-lying place, and said with a complex expression
"His Royal Highness, the destination is the Lunar Cold Wetland in front of me. Please forgive my subordinates to say that it is a very dangerous decision to cross here. The Lunar Cold Wetland has always been located at the border between the northern part of Eero and the State of the Order. A special existence. Although it was once located at the center of the border between the two countries, neither the religious regime nor the Erot Empire stationed troops here. In fact, it’s not that I don’t want to, but I can’t do it. On the edge of the cold beach, in the wind. In the snow, you can vaguely see the outlines of the low city walls built with loose rocks and red wicker reeds in the early years. These are all proofs of the failure of the garrison."
"This place has existed for so many years, I don't believe that no one has ever passed through it?" Putamia asked with a serious face
"Your Highness, this is a place cursed by gods. As long as people stay in the nearby area for a long time, they will have various problems, ranging from dizziness and vomiting, to skin ulceration until death, even The best doctor can't save it. As time goes by, even the most daring soldier dare not stay here for a long time, but if no one has ever entered, that's not impossible! "The older man The Templar's face showed a strange expression, he sighed a long, and continued, "His Royal Highness still remember the border rebellion that broke out at the end of last year?"
"Do you mean the time you saw the slave of Diaku?" Pudamia frowned and said coldly.
The Diyaku people were once a small country in Southern Europe. In more than eighty years, the sect nation moved here under the pressure of the Erotians. The first to be wiped out was the Diyaku country. Then all the Diyakus were turned into slaves. Over the course of decades, the Diyakus under various types of bullying, have broken out rebellions several times, were brutally suppressed by the religious regiments, and in just a few decades In time, the Diyakus, who originally had a population of 6 million, are now less than one million. In the end, the ecclesiastical state simply migrated all the Diakus to between the ecclesiastical state and the Eero Empire. On the border, the Diakus were used as barriers to resist the Westward expansion of the Erots. In the several invasions of the Erots against the sect nation, the Diakus were the most damaged and leftovers. The population is less than 300,000. At the end of last year, the Diakou people on the border rebelled again and were again ordered to suppress by Pudamia
"Just that time"
The old Templar nodded, his eyes flashed and said in amazement, "More than a hundred Kudias were chased by the border guards, desperate to escape into the cold wetlands, and finally only three people were full. Running out alive with scars, two of them died that night, and one person was sent to the nearby Templar camp, because the border guards believed that the Cudia was possessed by the devil. In that camp, I saw with my own eyes that the living prisoner had pus and swelling all over his body, and his whole body was itchy. I tore off my skin piece by piece and stuffed it into my mouth. The subordinates really don’t want to recall the situation.”
After listening to the words of the older Templars, even though they were psychologically prepared, the Templars' eyes fell on the boiling water pools, and there was a look of horror on their faces, as if they were seeing a legend. In the land of the devil, Putamia kept calm on her pretty face, her eyes flickered, and she didn’t know what she was thinking. If you want to be in the Muslim community, this is undoubtedly the best passage, but if it’s true as the Templar said As terrible as it is, there is only another way to go. The possibility of encountering the border guards in the cult is extremely high! Just when she frowned and hesitated, in the thick white fog all around, she suddenly remembered the sound of horse hooves
A team of cavalry wearing cult armor also slowly emerged from the periphery of Lengyuetan
"Brushing" seeing this scene, the Templars' hands invariably grip the hilt of the cross sword. Now they are enemies within the Order, and all the Templars who follow Pudamia have been ordered by the Order. The Presbyterian Church was declared a traitor. No one thought that the frontier guards of the Order Army could still be encountered here. The Order Army itself and the Templars are two systems. The Templars belong to the Presbyterian Church and the Pope. The regiment belongs to the six knight commanders of the Knights Templar
"I am Louisia of the Border Guard of the Mission State. At the beginning of this year, I even visited His Highness. I don't know if His Highness still remembers."
In the extremely tense atmosphere, a thick male voice came, and a high-spirited middle-aged cult general came out from the inside. The thick black skin on his face and multiple scars on his left cheek showed He has experienced hard years and dangerous frontiers. This ecclesiastical general stopped in front of Putamia, looking at Pope Putamia standing still, his eyes sharp and cold!
"Lewissia, commander of the Fifth Legion of the Border Guard of the Religious State?"
"If I remember correctly, you didn't seem to be a legion commander at the time." Putamia's eyes fell on the legionnaire's coat of arms table on Louisia's chest, showing a touch of surprise. It seems that the Temple Presbyterian Church has already Start to adjust the military layout
"The memory of His Highness the Pope is really good. At the beginning of the year, I was indeed just the deputy commander of the army. Now, I am the commander of the Fifth Legion of the Border Guard. This is all thanks to the blessing of His Highness the Pope."
Louisia grinned, took a deep breath, and snorted, "The Presbyterian Church has issued an order to abolish your pope and announced that anyone who has your head off can be directly promoted to One of the six knight commanders, waiting here for His Highness the Pope is just trying his luck. I didn’t expect to be so lucky!"
"Luisa, are you trying to kill me?" Putamia looked at him coldly
"His Royal Highness the Pope is really humorous. As a woman, she defeated the army of 300,000 Eero with her own power, beheaded the Emperor Eero, conquered Eero's capital, and forced the Eero royal family to move south. If Zong returns to China, I am afraid that the elders will be afraid of you. You are too good, and it is impossible for the elders of the sect to let you go back alive."
"Isn’t it a mockery? As the pope of this generation, I have achieved the dream of the popes, but the result is not tolerated by my own country. If this is the case, what the popes have worked hard What is it?" Putamia's mouth wryly smiled coldly
Luisia looked silent for a while, and sighed, "If the Pope thinks that this will let me let you go, it is impossible. I can guarantee that the sword in my hand will be fast enough before you feel the pain. Cut off your noble head, this is everything I can do as a former subordinate!"
"Come out!"
Louisia yelled fiercely. In the wind and snow, he drew out his knight sword. With the sound of the scream of the sword, dense sounds began to ring around.
"Wow"
It was the footsteps of countless people approaching here, and the gleaming array of spears appeared around in rows. Seeing this scene, the Templars following Pudamia turned pale. There are enemies all around, at least two thousand or more, and all of them are spear units that specifically restrain the cavalry from escaping. Behind the spear units, the archer who has opened the bowstring can be vaguely seen. The opponent does not need to rush up, just a burst of fire. , Is enough to turn His Highness the Pope into a hedgehog
Although the Templars are wearing heavy armor, His Highness the Pope is not
A knight commander of the Templar had red eyes, watching Louisia gritted his teeth and said, "Despicable sneak attacker, I knew I should have killed you three years ago."
Hearing the sound, Louisia's stunned eyes fell on the Templar Commander, and suddenly he let out a cold laugh, "It's really eye-catching. I didn't expect to see you here again, my respected Ke Knight Captain, the scar on my left side reminds me every night of the injustice I received, why the person who killed my wife just because he was a Templar can reduce his guilt, and eventually he could not stop it, but to protect his wife. But must be cruelly punished?"
"But what you are protecting right now is what you hate most?" said a crisp voice, it was Pope Putamia
She takes off her hood, wins snow in a white robe, with picturesque eyebrows and a calm complexion, like a rising moon, her extraordinary temperament is fascinating, as a woman, her pope status , Led the Templars to defeat the southern overlord Aero Empire, slashed the Aero Emperor, conquered the Aero King’s capital, and incorporated the entire northern part of Aero, a fertile land recognized in the South, into the territory of the Order Kingdom. A generation of women who is not lost to any king The master's capital is an incomparable deterrent to anyone.
"His Royal Highness the Pope!"
"Oh my God, it's really His Highness the Pope. Isn't it said that it is a traitor who encircles and suppresses the Knights Templar?"
Even the soldiers of the sect army surrounded by the surroundings are slightly commotion, all kinds of low voices,
"Aren't you here to kill me?"
Pudamia's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she faintly felt something wrong from the soldiers' comments, but her frowns made everyone who looked at them felt a pain in their hearts, as if the frowns were Fucked in his own heart, even Louisia looked dumbfounded, and couldn't help but want to bow down and salute!
"His Royal Highness, we are here to take you back to China!"
A thick and sophisticated voice passed through the soldiers of the nearby ecclesiastical army, and the soldiers of the ecclesiastical nation spread out to the sides, revealing several figures wearing ordinary soldier armors
Walking at the forefront is a middle-aged man with white hair and sideburns. This is a typical soldier. Although he is not as handsome as the Templars, he has a rough outline and hair like a wire. With steady footsteps, a strong and vigorous spirit came to his face. The soldiers all around looked at him with fiery eyes and admiration
The few other people behind him, without exception, were all commanders at the rank of commander of the sect nation’s border guards. In full view, the middle-aged man was the first to be on the Putamia’s horse with his right hand. Kneeling on one knee on his chest, he said in a condensed voice, "The Frontier Army General Army Atuo welcomes the Pope to return home!"
"The 4th Army of the Border Guard, Karl Hart, welcomes His Highness the Pope back home!"
"Bohand, the Second Army of the Border Guard, welcomes His Highness the Pope to return home!"
"Louisia, the commander of the Fifth Army of the Border Guard, greeted His Highness the Pope's return." There were loud voices. The generals of the border guard knelt on one knee in front of Putamia's horse, and finally came Louis with an embarrassed look. West Asia
"Everyone, please get up!"
Pudamia looked at the middle-aged man who was kneeling on one knee in front of her horse, and there was a faint water vapour in her eyes. Atuo, the general army of the border guards of the sect, was also Putami. Sister Ya’s swordsmanship teacher, the situation in front of her has changed so much that everyone can’t react to it.
Although the border guards of the religious regiments are not very powerful, their total number is about 50,000. In fact, the border guards of the religious regimes can be regarded as sad reminders. They have been in the shadow of the strong army of Erot for decades. Struggling under the leadership of the religious regiment nation’s **** system, the most elite combat forces are concentrated in the Knights Templar, followed by the guardian guarding the temple ~ IndoMTL.com ~ and finally the unwelcome side army , Because everyone knows that in the face of the strength of the Ero people, the role of the frontier army is basically to delay the infiltration of the other party. In the end, the Knights Templar dispatched to solve the problem. After a long time, the frontier army becomes A troop similar to a miscellaneous brand
But it’s different now. The elite of the sect army is basically under Putamia, and the position of the frontier army is quite heavy. If such a military force is on Putamia’s side, then Putami The chances of Ya returning to the country to win will undoubtedly increase greatly. At least he can calmly mobilize the troops in the northern part of Eero to join the domestic battlefield without being blocked by the frontier army. Pudamia was planning to sneak back quietly this time, and she was also fighting for one. I worked hard to win the support of the domestic military to fight against the Presbyterian Church. I didn't expect that before returning to the country, the border guards would have turned to their own side. This almost means that the sect is not defending itself in the country!
For Putamia, the scene before me is like a dream
Atuo, the general army of the border guards, stood up, with a touch of contempt at the corner of his mouth, and said categorically, "My border guards have fought fiercely with the Eero for so many years, and I don’t know how many companions died in the hands of the Eero, for us. The Eero people are enemies. Whoever can defeat the Eero people, we will support whoever, although the elders have issued the order, but for our border guards, who dares to use force against the highness of the emperor Eero is all our border defenses. The enemy of the soldier"
"Long live His Highness the Pope!"
"Long live His Highness the Pope!"
Sounds were heard one after another all around, and the soldiers knelt down in front of Liu Fengshuang. Then, the officers also knelt down. The kneeling people were all black, as if the white snow was inlaid with black human-shaped lace. , Only the cold front of the long spear in his hand is straight towards the sky like a forest,
It's the end of the year, all kinds of checks, headaches. . . . .
