Chapter 122 Bad News

"The false gods they believe in really give them prophecies in their sleep..."

When he said this, Richard could feel the tremor in Condela's tone.

Looking at Condela's appearance, Richard suddenly had a hunch that if he didn't speak to comfort him, he might doubt the God of Christ he believed in, just like in the game, he wanted to burn the heretic priest but was dragged into the group and believed in heresy the same as the chaplaincy officer.

"That's impossible, my dear Condra." Richard shook his head, gently put his right hand on the shoulder of his loyal adjutant, and said: "There is only one true God in the world, and that is the supreme Jesus Christ. As the Lamb of God, we should not shake our faith because of the methods of false gods. Your ability to come to this mysterious world from Europa is in itself a miracle performed by God."

After listening to Richard's words, Condela's heart seemed to be enlightened, his eyes lit up, his doubts about the Lord of Christ disappeared at this moment, and he said: "Your Majesty Caesar, you are right, but those three rumor spreaders What will the soldiers do?"

"Take me to have a look and find out who is behind them."

"As ordered."

……

Under the leadership of Condela, Richard came to a simple wooden house in the camp that was guarded by several soldiers. The three soldiers who were arrested for spreading rumors were tied up and locked inside. In order to prevent them from colluding, each Everyone's mouth was stuffed with a piece of smelly cloth, and they were tied to a pillar so they couldn't move.

Entering the wooden house, a damp and rancid smell came to his nostrils. Richard frowned subconsciously. Then he looked at the three soldiers who were tied up. From the scars on their bodies, it could be seen that the three soldiers were Soldiers have been tortured before.

"Your Majesty Caesar, they are soldiers spreading rumors." Condela pointed at the three of them and introduced. Following his voice, all three of them raised their heads and looked at Richard with some kind of unclear eyes.

"The three of you are spreading the news of Bundak's mutiny in the barracks?" Richard stood there casually, and asked the soldiers behind him to remove the stinky cloth from the mouths of the three of them. "Why do you do this?"

The barrier in his mouth was removed, and the soldier from the Mabuku collar boldly replied: "My lord, it was the great phantom deer who told me in a dream that Bundak, Earl of Cork, had set off a rebellion. "

"That's right, Huanlu told us." The other two echoed one after another, and one of them continued: "The great god also told me that I must tell other people the news."

"It's ridiculous. As a member of the royal family, how could Earl Bundak start a rebellion." Condora scolded, "You clearly intend to disturb the morale of the army and help the besieged Ramirez people!"

"No, we didn't!" Mabuku led the soldiers to argue loudly, "If you really don't believe it, you can send someone back to have a look and prove everything with facts!"

"I will." Richard said coldly, just when he was about to continue to say something, a series of hurried hoofbeats came from outside the house, accompanied by loud shouts from soldiers, directly interrupting what he was about to say .

"What happened?" Richard turned and walked towards the door. Just as he stepped out of the door, he saw a young knight trying to stop the horse under his crotch. The horse immediately stood up in pain and neighed loudly. He took a few steps back before putting down his front hoof.

After the horses stopped, the young knight dismounted and quickly ran up to Richard, half-kneeling on the ground, took out a scroll from his waist and raised it above his head, saying: "My lord, Earl Bundak of Cork launched a rebellion, Military Chief Sophie asks you to lead the army back to the country to suppress the rebellion!"

"Really rebelling?!" Richard's eyes were full of shock. He and Condra looked at each other, then took the scroll held high by the knight, opened the shell directly, pulled out the parchment inside and checked it on the spot. Afterwards, the shock in his eyes had receded, and he just looked unwillingly at the crumbling Yajik city.

"His Majesty……"

Condela stepped forward and asked in a low voice in German. Before he could speak, Richard interrupted him by raising his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Bundak and his allies launched a rebellion, and then the troops split into two groups, all the way Marching to Ravana, all the way to deploy defenses on the border of Luwen, it seems to prevent us from turning around to support."

"Then shall we go back?" Condela asked.

"Yes." Richard gritted his teeth and almost squeezed the word out. From his unwilling expression, it is not difficult to see how determined he is to give up the city of Aquique, which can be conquered soon. .

The long-term siege of Aquique City is close to the end of the mountain. As long as Richard persists for a few months to half a year, this fortified city will surrender on its own. However, it has given up halfway. All the losses and casualties have become clouds.

Taking a deep breath, Richard asked the knight who was half kneeling on the ground, regardless of Condela's expression, "Young knight (it seems that Richard is not that old), what's your name?"

"Renato Pinedo, my lord!"

"Okay, Knight Renato, I will lead the army back to Ravana within a week, and you will stay with me during this time," Richard said.

"It's my honor, Lord Earl!" Renato replied respectfully.

Asking Renato to get up and follow him, Richard switched to German and continued to talk to Condela: "Send an envoy to negotiate with the Yakiks. Although we are forced to withdraw our troops, we still have to kill them before we leave. They paid for it!"

"Of order, Your Majesty Caesar." Condra respectfully promised, and then turned and left.

Looking at the back of his departure, Richard remembered the three soldiers in the house who successfully predicted the Bundak Rebellion. He had a headache. This kind of person who claims to be connected with God is the most difficult to deal with. One can't handle it well. It will cause a commotion in the whole army—wait a minute, Richard suddenly remembered that the main body of his army is the Germans and Danes who both believe in the Lord of God, and the soldiers who believe in the so-called phantom deer are only a minority.

"These three soldiers must not stay, they must be executed." Richard thought, whether or not, this kind of people who claim to be able to communicate with God or have been inspired by God cannot stay. They are full of danger to the ruler. Once they use the name of the gods to shake and overthrow the power of the ruler, the bewitched and foolish people will support them without hesitation.

Thinking in his heart, he summoned the temporary commander of the Danes and ordered in Danish: "Toolagris, let your soldiers prepare three fire stakes on the school grounds, and deal with them tomorrow in front of all the soldiers. The heretical penal code put to death the three soldiers inside."

"Follow my king!" Toolagris replied, his voice was like thunder on the ground, causing the Ravana knight Renato who was following Richard to look sideways.

Since he couldn't understand the German and Danish that Richard communicated with Condela and Tooragris, the young knight asked curiously, "My lord, what are you talking to them about?"

"This is not something you should ask, knight." Richard gave Renato a cold look and warned.
