Power and Empire Chapter 3287: Wind up (7)

The northern coastline of the Mission State, Tripoli Port

Pale seagulls hovered in the sky, quiet, filled with weird white mist, the dark green hulls of the Imperial Navy sailed out of the vast expanse of white, and the morning sea breeze was a bit cold and humid. Human hair, the position of the bow of a Dragon Tooth battleship. An imperial navy captain gazes forward. Behind the battleship group is a long series of large-hull transport ships

The Port of Tripoli is a medium-sized port city on the northern coast of the Mission State. It covers an area of ​​about three to four kilometers and has a permanent population of 40,000. According to reason, as a port city, it should be lively and closed. The streets are full of trading ships, the streets are filled with merchants from all over the world, the merchandise in the shops is dazzling, the taverns are noisy and noisy sailors, and the mountains of goods on the dock are pulled away by carts, but the port in front of you is obviously not like this.

The ecclesiastical state is a religious country. Under the premise that all religious beliefs are promoted, the merchant class who does not hesitate to take risks in the pursuit of maximizing profits is obviously not welcomed by the ecclesiastical temple. As for the ecclesiastical state It’s even more impossible for the priests to spend a lot of money to build port defenses. Religious countries have always had a tradition of shutting down the country. This is to maintain the domestic policy of stupid people. As a deep-water port on the northern coastline, most of the port of Tripoli It was only used to accept some living supplies shipped from other ports, but it was precisely because it was only used as a living supplies transshipment port. When the imperial navy fleet suddenly appeared on the surface of the Tripoli port, the whole boiling Tripoli barely depended on it. There are only one thousand and one hundred guards.

Including one hundred and forty Templar knights, five hundred and sixty guards from Tripoli, two hundred guards from the port, and more than two hundred nobles who were pushed to the battlefield tremblingly. The private army are all handyman servants. As for the nobles, there are none. At this time, they are all busy moving things and fleeing for their lives. Who will take care of these?

The chubby chief priest of the temple, Yeheya, stood in the cold harbour, with a pale face looking at the approaching Imperial Navy fleet, and the height of the Imperial Navy warships was almost hills. Like, his eyes fell on the flying eagle flag on top of the naval battleship, his calves were shaking, and his voice trembling said, "Knight Commander Dia, the enemy's power is far more than us. Instead of fighting with them, It is obviously more important to bring the news of the empire’s landing back to the Holy Capital"

"Master Yehoa can do this, but as the Templar Knight Commander, I Dia made an oath when I left the holy capital. I must guarantee that no heretics will be allowed to set foot on the land of God, so I can only hold on to Up!"

Standing beside him is a burly knight with flax-colored hair, silver-white armor of the Templar, and a big red cloak hanging from his shoulders to the ground, his eyes flickering as he looks closer and closer. The battleship of the Imperial Navy showed no fear on his face, but rather a look of interest, righteously speaking

Go to your sister's insistence. Are you blind or stupid? There are so many people on your side. How to keep it? Hearing what he said, the chief priest of Jehoa next to him almost didn't foam his mouth and twitched to the ground. When did this happen, the imperial army landed, judging from the scale in front of him, it was at least ten thousand people or more. Look at our own side, a group of guardians who have been retreating in fright, old servants who can’t even hold their swords securely, that is, hundreds of Templar knights can still be seen, but what is the use? It is every Templar knight who can fight ten one by one, and it cannot stop the powerful landing of tens of thousands of imperial troops

"The piety of the Knight Commander Dia is really admirable. It is worthy of being a person from the Holy Capital. As a temple priest with no power to bind a chicken, staying here will only become Lord Dia. It's cumbersome. Although I am so eager to fight with Lord Dia, as the person in charge of Tripoli Port, I must report this situation to the Holy Capital immediately, so I won't drag Lord Dia here!" Yeheya showed an expression of admiration, but his feet were receding. Damn, Dia, a lunatic, couldn’t think about it, and don’t pull himself to death. Dia was originally demoted here from the Holy Capital. He used to be A knight commander in the Knights Templar didn’t know who had offended him. He was immediately relegated to the small coastal city of Tripoli to serve as the knight commander of the Templar. Although he was also a knight commander, the knight commander and Li of the Holy Capital The knight commander of Pori is completely the difference between heaven and earth. If you change to yourself, I am afraid that you will be extremely depressed!

"Master Jehoya, where are you going! As the chief priest of the temple, shouldn't you be more likely to live and die with the temple!" Just when Jehoya retreated, I suddenly felt With the pain of suffocation, his feet were lifted off the ground. Dia's thick fingers suddenly stuck on his neck. In Yehoa's struggle, he lifted him up like an eagle lifting a chicken, severely suffocating. Let Yeheya's eyes bulge up

"Let go, let me go... I can't breathe anymore..." Yeheya struggled with his feet off the ground, his hands kept clinging to Dia's hand in the knight's armguard, but Dia looked at him calmly. The hand stuck on his neck didn't mean to loosen the slightest. There was even a clattering sound from Yeheya's neck. There must be no one whose throat was crushed. The Fa is alive, just like the current Jehoa, while he violently stepped on his legs, mixed and broken blood was constantly pouring out of his mouth. The others next to him were dumbfounded. What's the situation! Originally everyone thought Master Dia was just I want to hold the chief priest of Jehoa, who knows that in a blink of an eye, Lord Dia is like pinching an ant to death and hanging the chief priest of Jehoa!

"Master Dia killed Master Jehoa...Ah" the servant next to him uttered a flustered cry, but the voice was not fully yelled out. The sword in the hands of the Templar standing behind the servant had already stabbed from behind. Passing through the servant’s body, a **** sword tip emerged from the servant’s chest. The servant stared wide-eyed and looked at the knight sword emerging from his chest with unbelievable eyes.

"Your masters are all dead. What's the point of your being alive? Kill them!" The knight commander Dia released his hand, and Jehoa's entire face turned into a fuchsia corpse and fell on the ground. The sub-knight commander glanced over the dozen servants, and said coldly, the sword light flashed, and a dozen servants of Jehoa were beheaded in a pool of blood in an instant. It was the Templar knights who acted. The remaining Templars suddenly attacked Knight Commander Dia, and no one showed an unexpected expression.

The cold sea breeze rushed into the nose with a **** smell, and the guards nearby were able to react.

What's going on, it happened in a blink of an eye. I don’t know what to do anymore. As the **** army, their duty is to protect the safety of the priests of the temple. They are directly under the authority of the chief priest of the temple. , There is no affiliation with the Templars of Dia, but according to the provisions of the temple, in the case of the death of the chief priest of the temple, the commander of the Templar will automatically become the commander of the apostolic army, that is to say, Dia Now I am the commander of the Guardian Army

"You have all seen, the imperial army is right in front of you. According to the temple's regulations, if the chief priest is killed, as the **** army, all of them need to be executed. Even if you run away, your family will also be executed. There are only two roads before you now. Either die or follow me!” Knight Commander Dia swept his eyes and fell on the two captains in front of the Guardian

"Master Dia, what the **** is going on!" One of the thin apologetic army captains with an ugly face smiled bitterly. They were all recruited locally, so as Dia said, even They can run, and their families will all be put to death. When it comes to the rights of priests, the decree of the ecclesiastical state is extremely strict. The priests are originally the highest ruling class in the ecclesiastical state, although only a small city port died. The chief priest of, that is also the chief priest. The chief priest is already regarded as a middle-to-upper-level cadre in the ecclesiastical country. In the history of the ecclesiastical country, because of the killing of the chief priest-level figure, it has caused tens of thousands of incidents. Several times, thinking of the terrible consequences of the sect’s disposal, this guardian army commander's face was pale

"Master Dia, although you have been treated unfairly in the Holy Capital and degraded to us, Master Yehoa has also insulted you in private, but my two brothers have never been sorry for you, you What are you going to do! Even if you want us to follow you, we still have to know what you want to do.” The other captain took a deep breath and said in a serious voice. Ya’s sudden killing of the chief priest of Jehoa was regarded as a previous revenge. The chief priest of Jehoa was not a good person himself. In the past few years when he presided over the port of Tripoli, he also made Tripoli smack. Since the arrival of the chief priest of Yehoa, the number of missing girls in Tripoli has increased several times, and even a maximum of eight girls have disappeared within a month. The duty of the **** army is to guard the temple and maintain law and order. All cases of tracing the girl have been stopped here by the chief priest of Jehoa!

As a local, even if it’s an **** army, seeing the evil-doing Knight Captain Yeheabydia was embarrassed and embarrassed with one hand. It was also very pleasant. Therefore, the two captains also deliberately pretended to be confused. The sub-knight commander really strangled Yeheya with one hand! When it comes to the reaction, it's too late!

"Stupid, do you think I killed Jehoa in revenge!"

Knight Commander Dia’s gaze was withdrawn from the two of them, a flash of chill flashed, and the corners of his mouth said with contempt, "A Tripoli chief priest is nothing in my eyes, and it’s worth my grudge, I Since Dia was promoted to one of the twelve knights of the Knights Templar at the age of nineteen, his faith in the temple has never been shaken, but the Holy Capital not only conspired to collude with foreign countries, but also betrayed Pope Putamia. , Exiled all the twelve knight commanders of our loyal and Pope’s Highness, and secretly ordered the chief priests of exile to find a chance to execute us, but Jehoa didn’t know that the reply he sent out was intercepted by me on the way, Holy Capital Already occupied by the sinners of God, what I am here now is just holding the will of God!"

"Ah, is it so?" The two apologists looked at each other. This kind of battle between the upper echelons of the sect nation is too far away for them, but the general in the mouth of the Dia knight commander Pope Damia is the supreme Pope’s Highness

"As long as His Highness the Pope returns to the Holy City, he will regain power. I can assure you that you will get much more than you have now. Even if you give the entire Tripoli to you, it is not impossible!" The Asian knight commander grunted solemnly, and Dia said in a serious voice, "What are you still hesitating? This time I secretly greeted the Imperial Army landing in Tripoli because of the geographical location of Tripoli, which happened to be located in the Northern Front Order. In the blind area of ​​the army’s defense line, the Imperial Army will directly attack the Holy Capital after landing, and attack the Templars of His Highness Putamia from north to south. What else will the Holy Capital use to support it? By then, it will be too late for you to regret it! "

Hearing the bright future described by the Knight Commander Dia, the two apologetic army commanders were shocked. Tripoli can be used as a port for material transshipment. One of the biggest advantages is that it is the mouth of the river flowing to the south. , The tributaries of the river that spread out like tree roots and branches are indeed riddled with holes that pierced the defensive line of the sect army. If the imperial army descends from here to the holy capital, this will make the sect army’s defense seem to be empty. /

"Well, we did it with you!" The two captains gave Dia a military salute.

"Then come with me to welcome the imperial army to Tripoli"

Knight Commander Dia waved his hand to the two of them, his eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. He was completely delaying time in front of him. Although he attacked and killed the defenseless Jehoa in one fell swoop, his Templar knights There are only more than a hundred people, and the two **** captains have as many as 500 troops. If they really fight, the Templars of Dia can eventually defeat the **** army, but casualties are unavoidable. Now the Imperial Navy warships Having arrived at the port, even if the **** army turned his face, he had the absolute power to kill them all!

The two **** army captains glanced at each other, and they were hairy in their hearts. They were both old fried dough sticks for many years. They obviously felt the killing intent of Knight Commander Dia, and there was even the slightest sense of resistance there. Honestly. Following the Dia knight commander and walking towards the dock, towards the port, three imperial dragon tooth battleships as pathfinders have entered. Behind the baffle that all turned over on the sides of the battleship, a door is open to reveal a dark Thor. Muzzle~IndoMTL.com~ Even if I haven’t seen Thor, I’ve heard of the two **** captains of the Imperial Navy’s shocking weapons. At this moment, I was lucky for the decision just now. What if I don’t surrender, I’m afraid Is it about to be fried into meat residue?

"Lower the mainsail. Pay attention to the surrounding conditions and do not disembark for now!"

The captain of the Imperial Navy, standing at the bow of the ship, turned around from the bow. Commands were given to the sailors behind. The sails on the main mast of the battleship were lowered, and the battleship leaned firmly against the pier. The hull glided across the calm sea like a mirror surface, leaving a circle of waves to the surroundings, as if A mark was suddenly drawn in the still picture. The captain is about 30 years old, wearing an imperial navy felt hat on his head, and wearing an imperial navy uniform. He has delicate eyebrows and a two-centimeter scar on his cheek dragged from the corner of his eye. It is a cruel blood. The skin left by the Silver Sparrow’s battle has also turned bronze because of the perennial sea breeze.

If it weren't for that scar, this is definitely Zhang Yingjun's face that is enough to make many aristocratic ladies dreaming.

The once personable upper-class Salander nobleman is now more of a soldier’s sturdiness. The experience of a prisoner-of-war slave has completely erased the proud water chestnut that year. His name is Bai Osud, former Sa The Duke of Rand, who was once captured by the Normans as a slave in the Obaro region, watched his companions being killed while fleeing. His fame began to rise during the Battle of the Scarlet Sparrow, and then he joined the Salander Expeditionary Army, Salander. After the expeditionary force was annihilated by the Empire, he was drafted into the Imperial Navy. Life and death, ups and downs. , The once prominent aristocratic status, in this young Salander nobleman, the shadow of the heir to the former Southern Grand Duke of Salander can no longer be seen, only the commander of the third squadron who conquered the sea belonging to the Imperial Navy is this Commander of the Naval Forward Squadron of the Second Empire in the direction of Tripoli
