I have a shelter

Chapter 873 Pride and Fear (4K)

After the Mist, because religious taxes in various places were difficult to collect, the troops of the Holy Court were basically supported by the Holy Empire. In fact, most of the knights in the Holy Court Army come from noble families in the empire. Generally, among the great aristocratic families in the empire, they must also hold the position of knight in the Holy Court. Only the teaching soldiers of the Holy Court come from the lower class people.

Therefore, the relationship between the Empire and the Holy Court is inseparable.

However, no matter where the members of the Holy Court's troops come from, once they enter the core force of the Holy Court, they will break away from their original relationships and declare their allegiance to the Holy Court. But this 'fourth' Temple Knights is different. Even though there are many nobles who serve as Temple Knights in the Holy Court, they also serve concurrently. In other words, there is only one title. So they are affiliated with the empire and loyal to the empire.

However, this force is not inferior to the core force of the Holy Court, because the people inside are all fanatical believers.

Their combat effectiveness was extraordinary, and they performed many feats on the battlefield in the north. The strength is no less than that of the white-robed knight.

At a rough glance, there were probably two to three thousand people in this team, of which knights accounted for one-third. Now the empire is fighting the devil in the north, and the work of cleaning up heretics is going on in the country. Therefore, the total number of this army is probably more than 10,000.

It's worth the current army of Sanctuary.

To be honest, just such a force is enough to bulldoze Elda - of course, the old Elda without mercenaries.

They do have such strength - it was this group of people who drove the Southern Wilders out of Halinska in Iberia and forced Eagle Dockray to fight guerrillas.

After seeing this army, George finally understood why the demons valued the Holy Empire so much. If the world develops on the original path, as long as the devil takes over the Holy Empire, other countries will basically be in trouble.

Just like what the Sun King said back then - how can those soldiers be considered soldiers? They're just a bunch of bandits.

In George's view, this team has two flags, but Roosegaarde can distinguish the subtle differences. It seems that in addition to the imperial royal guards, there are also a few noble knights who are visiting this time. They should all be noble representatives of the empires.

"That is the flag of Archduke Douglas. He is a famous general in the Holy Empire and is trusted by the old emperor. After the new emperor ascended the throne, his daughter became the queen - that flag belongs to the regent, it should be the one of 'Karl' Smart little guy, it turns out that Karl is the old emperor's favorite son. He gets along very well with his brother, so it is inevitable that he can participate in politics. "

Roosegaarde couldn't help but feel a little proud. Speaking of which, Karl was still his student. The only thing that makes him a little regretful is that because the political atmosphere of the empire is very repulsive to wizards, he, the palace bachelor, is a real bachelor, and the things he teaches are all knowledge that has nothing to do with mysticism, such as humanities and geography. .

But this old wizard who was born in the Forbidden Sanctuary is actually a true scholar. The students handed over are naturally very valuable.

Archduke Douglas, Prince Carl, and George all learned about it in letters. One of these two guys is now one of the main commanders of the empire and also a saint. In the Holy See, he holds the position of 'Holy Knight' - symbolizing the holy angel and one of the three high-level divine knights. The one with the highest position. He is one level higher than George, the divine knight who symbolizes the ‘Seat Angel’.

As for Prince Carl, he is the younger brother and think tank of the current emperor. This time, the empire can send these two guys, which shows that it attaches great importance to the Seven Nations Parliament.

But it is a pity that George did not see the two young men Auguste and Lemuel in the team. After these two great knights of grace were returned to the Holy Court by George from the Moon Kingdom to disgust Aloysius, I think he must have been assigned.

While smoking a cigar, George listened to Roosegaarde's narration and thought in his mind: 'It seems that Avery's situation in the Holy Court is not particularly good now. I don't know who is the lurker here. But I guess that guy wouldn’t have any contact with me in formal occasions.’

In the eyes of the demons, His Majesty Bob's life and death are now unknown. The lurker who was supposed to be responsible for contacting George this time should be extra cautious now.

Not long after, the team from the front came over. George could clearly see that weakling Duke Charles was leading Prince Carl's horse, and he was trying to please even say a few words to Archduke Douglas.

‘His grandma has been kneeling for a really long time. How come, then Douglas’s position is higher than mine, right? ’ George felt a little unhappy.

But he had some misunderstandings. Even if King Elda was there now, he might have to lead the horse for the envoy of that day - the Brebas family was like the Li family of Goryeo in front of the empire. '. The original throne was recognized by an edict from the Holy Emperor.

Red-robed Archbishop Buster was not left behind by Grand Duke Canglan, the pug - Salman said when he was in the Moon Kingdom that the Canglan family was one of Buster's younger brothers in the background of the Holy Court. However, Bishop Bast paid no attention to Grand Duke Canglan. He was stroking his beard and looking at the pergola not far away. Seemingly seeing George, the old man laughed. He nodded towards this side.

George couldn't help but smile and stood up, but at this time, the imperial team stopped not far away.

After Grand Duke Douglas stretched his head to look over here, he raised his head to look at Duke Canglan beside him and scolded loudly - the voice was so loud that George could hear it clearly here. It seemed to be asking why King Elda didn't come to greet him.

Alfonso couldn't help but look up at the crown of thorns on his head, his face a little ugly.

Several representatives of the Holy Court looked a little embarrassed, and seemed to have persuaded them. But Gaoglas didn't seem to give face, and looked very arrogant. It wasn't until Regent Carl took out the golden handkerchief and coughed a few times that Douglas put away his face and waved to a knight beside him. Then, the tall knight rode over with a team of knights.

The horse's hoofs kicked up a cloud of dust near the awning, which was blown on George and others' faces. The knight led the knights and walked around in front of everyone with a haughty look, looking them up and down, as if he was trying to identify the one who was King Elda. His attitude was very arrogant.

Irene, who was making tea, suddenly laughed: "George, someone is here to deal with you."

George's face couldn't help but look a little ugly.

The Sun King sneezed, looked at George's face, and almost laughed. Then he found that his son seemed angry, and quickly grabbed Alexander and whispered: "Don't mess with your boss."

George blew a puff of smoke and recognized the emblems on the chests of those people-they seemed to be saints. They were all guys who served as Templars in the Holy Court. The knight in the lead seemed to be a knight of power.

This group of people were tall and strong, with shining armor, like the gods descending from heaven, and their momentum was indeed very strong. When compared with them, the royal knights of Elda felt like they had seen the red knights of the shelter. Their originally straight backs could not help but shrink, and each of them was shorter.

Today, George saw the true appearance of the Holy Court Knights - they were arrogant and domineering.

But George was a little puzzled. Now that the Holy Empire was under pressure from the demon army and was beaten to such a state, why were they still showing off?

But the next second, he guessed what was going on. After looking at Douglas, he smiled secretly, and then sighed.

He sat back in his seat, smoking a cigar and drinking his own herbal tea. He left Alfonso aside and let this weak shrimp deal with it.

The leading knight looked at George who sat down for a few times, raised his whip and wanted to shout angrily, but after looking at the "God's Throne Knight" on the man's robe and the extremely tall "God's Seal Knight" who stood up next to him, he swallowed his words.

Of the three God's Grace Knights who came out of the valley, the knight had only seen one - "Silver Knight Wolpe". But the names of the two big guys who rushed into the Darkens Magic City in front of them, the knights of the Holy See have long heard of them.

Both of them were jointly recommended by the College of Cardinals, recognized by the Pope, and led by the Grand Cardinal Boris to the Black Pearl Valley to be canonized - the one called Alexander was originally a knight of power, but after Boris killed him first and then reported to him, the College of Cardinals also pinched their noses - it is said that the guy at that time also threw the holy object in front of Boris.

Their positions are still recognized by the Holy See - the frontier officials in charge of the Western War Zone. According to their positions, the knight should also salute these two God's Grace Knights.

Obviously, the knight recognized George, but he did not speak to George. Instead, after pulling the reins, he raised his whip, pointed at Alfonso's nose, and shouted:

"Why doesn't King Elda come out to greet you?"

This was a slap in the face in public, and it also questioned George's recognition of Alfonso. But the majesty of the Holy Empire was still there. After hearing this, the nobles of Elda were silent. They looked at the crown of thorns on Alfonso's head, and then they all lowered their heads as if they didn't see it. No one dared to fart.

Alfonso was so humiliated that his face turned pale. Seeing George drinking tea quietly, he could only bite the bullet and stretched his face over to take over the conversation, letting the guy slap him: "I am the King of Elda."

"Bullshit!" The voice of the knight was like a bell. He pointed at Alfonso's nose and cursed: "What kind of King of Elda are you? Without the canonization of the Holy Kingdom and the coronation of the Holy See, how can you be a king?!"

These words made the nobles of Elda pale. Indeed, according to the rules, when a new king ascends the throne in these seven countries, he must be recognized by the Holy Empire and the Holy See. Only after the empire issues an edict, he is considered the new king.

Seeing that no one answered in a circle, the knight snorted coldly and asked: "Where is Bob Braybas?!"

"Dead." A voice sounded faintly from the side of the table.

"Dead? Where's the body? Why not send it to the Holy Court?"

"No body, burned. Thrown."

The knight laughed coldly, and caught the topic: "Without sending it to the Holy Court, without a letter of proclamation, the new king ascended the throne? Do you Eldar want independence or are you planning to rebel?!"

"I was crowned king by these seven gods." George blew a puff of smoke, looked at the knight in front of him with a faint smile, and said coldly: "Do I have to tell you dogs who I say is the king of Eldar?"

The sound of needles falling could be heard all around, and the nobles of Elda suddenly raised their chests, and Alfonso's neck straightened at this moment.

These words made Jazz so angry that blood rushed to his head. He looked at the rebellious guy in front of him and pointed the riding crop at George's nose. His lips trembled for a long time without saying a word.

At this time, the team behind seemed to come over.

Jazz said angrily, his words already trembling: "It is rumored that the Knight of the Throne 'Austin' proclaims himself the Lord of Heaven."

At this point, Sir's voice doubled, and the anger in his heart burst out: "Today you are here again, violating the name of the Kingdom of Heaven and canonizing a new king. Do you see the Kingdom of Heaven in your eyes! Do you have the Seven Gods?

"No. Usually they don't dare to talk to me like this." George took a sip of herbal tea. He glanced at the person coming over and stopped looking at the dog in front of him.

Erin's eyes twitched and she didn't dare to say a word. Holding the teapot, he filled George's bowl.

The knight was completely angered by these heretical words. His hair and beard were all flabby and his eyes were red. He wanted to say something, but the anger surging in his chest prevented him from saying anything. The knights around him also had their eyes red with anger, and they stretched out their hands to draw their swords and speak.

"Sanders. Don't mess around. Douglas didn't ask you to draw your sword against Lord Austin!" Buster's roar came over.

After Sir Sanders heard this, he forced the anger in his chest to spit on the ground, and rode his horse to the team behind.

Looking at the knights leaving, Irene felt unhappy and thought to herself: 'These knights are so loyal, why don't they teach a young boy like George a lesson in public? ’

"Eileen, what did that guy want to say just now?"

"Perhaps you are the traitor who is trying to usurp the throne?"

"Well, you understand as expected." George nodded and looked at the few people who had already walked over.

Douglas and Prince Carl were looking at George up and down. I couldn't help but feel happy when I heard the end of George and Irene's conversation.

But after the two heard Sanders' narration, Douglas touched his beard and glanced at George meaningfully, with a hint of evil in his eyes.

Prince Karl smiled, reined in the reins, and asked: "Lord God, I'm sorry. But did I hear you right? Are you representing the Kingdom of Heaven or Rodenk when you come to the parliament this time? "

After hearing this, Douglas also narrowed his eyes slightly. If this heretic today dares to say that he represents the Kingdom of Heaven, he will risk his life to kill him on the spot today!

George took a sip of his cigar, looked at Karl, and said, "Don't be afraid, Karl. I won't kill you. If the two sides fight and don't kill each other, if you decide to run away today, I will let you go."

Karl's body swayed slightly and he almost fell off the horse.
