Chapter 98 Knights and Saladin

The holy city was surrounded by the Crusades on the surface, and there was a lively and peaceful scene, but in the dark it was a contest between various forces, which was concentrated in the competition for candidates for the next pope. Cardinal Edward gave the Pope a hundred choir children, which won the favor of the pope, so he won one point first. However, Cardinal Dezso and Schwab were also nervously planning together.

As usual, the Pope slowly wore his robes and his crown symbolizing the religious leader with his help. He trembledly supported his servants to walk towards the terrace. The terrace was facing the large square of the Holy City. On weekdays, His Majesty the Pope did not like to stand here to watch the noisy square. There were some unfair men and women who were playing shamelessly, which forced the Pope to convene meetings to prohibit these acts that violated God's will. But today, Cardinal Dezso took special care of the servants and guided His Majesty to the terrace. Although the servants did not know what was going on, Cardinal Dezso's orders were unquestionable and said that this was not a difficult matter. So under the intention of the servants, the Pope stood on the terrace and breathed fresh air.

When His Majesty looked at the open square, except for the fountain in the middle of the square, there were neither hawkers selling along the street nor pairs of men and women. The calm here was like a prayer room in the church, this unexpected abnormality made His Majesty and his servants feel very strange.

"Boom~~~~." Suddenly, a low sound of horse hooves came from the entrance of the square. In an instant, many armored and enclosed helmets appeared from the ground like magic, holding long horses with flags, riding tall horses, and a pointed shield hung on one side of the horse.

The knights lined up in neat square formations, advancing slowly without any rushing. The friction of armor and the low neighing of war horses immediately filled the entire square. At this time, the light of the dawn sun shone down from the steeple church, and the knights were covered with a layer of golden light. They were as brilliant and dazzling as warriors coming from heaven.

"God, my Lord, what is this?" The old pope opened his eyes wide and looked at the knights who were slowly advancing in the square. The mighty knights came to earth like god warriors and angels.

"For God's will, go forward~~~." When the knights who were currently entering passed by His Majesty's terrace, the knights pulled out their swords and shouted loudly, and the flags representing the glory of their family flew like the ocean.

"Your Majesty, this is what Cardinal Dezso contributed to you." At this time, a servant close to Cardinal Dezso immediately handed over a single-eyed telescope. The Pope held the telescope with his dry hands like chicken feet. With the help of the servant, he clearly saw the moving knights. Their bright armored figure ignited the old man's heart. He seemed to have seen a huge crusade completely destroying the abominable and dirty pagans from the city of Jerusalem.

"Look, your majesty." Another attendant pointed to the square and said excitedly. The Pope quickly moved the telescope to the position where the attendant pointed. The flags of the three major knights appeared in the square. The red cross on the white background was the Knights Templar, the pattern of the cross on the Saint Jomme was the Knights of Santiago, and the cross on the sworn tail was the Knights of Shantang. However, a new Knights flag appeared, which was not seen by His Majesty the Pope and his servants. The flags of the black cross on the white background were fluttering in the wind. The giant helmets of the horn-shaped wings, wearing shiny plate armor, wearing a white black cross cloak, holding a mace in their hands, and were macaques in their hands, but they did not have the rebellious appearance of the knights. They advanced slowly in an orderly manner under the leadership of their superiors, as quiet as the darkness in the depths of the sea.

These glittering knights came out, and brought shocking surprises to the pope and the residents of the Holy City, and then there was surprise. The knights arranged a large cross pattern according to their respective knights. The Knights Templar considered themselves the first knights to invade Jeremy, so they were arrogant and arrogant at the forefront. They were as rough and rude as the founding monarch of Kate, Charlie the Lion King.

Arranged to the right of the cross are the Order of the Santiago who protected the pilgrims for a long time during the pilgrimage. These Knights of the Santiago were full of enthusiasm and adventure. Although they were rising stars, they won many victories in the war against the pagans.

The Order of the Shantang, arranged on the left, is a Knight of priests and religious people who carefully abide by religious oaths and silently protect the Lord's shepherds in a low-key manner. But if you think these priests are weak and powerless, then you are wrong. When the pagans invade, these quiet priests will immediately put on their armor, wield swords that symbolize the will of the Lord, and inject the blood of the pagans into the earth.

The last one was the mysterious Knights. Although the Knights of the Templar believed that this was a group of unknown people, Bishop Dezso personally arranged it to force these Templars to shut up their nagging mouths.

"Your Majesty, that is the Teutonic Knights from the northern border of Pumbrus. They once fought against the terrible pagan Devior, and they obeyed your call." The servant said to His Majesty without fail.

"Ah, ah." His old Pope, shaking his lips, was so excited that he didn't know what to say. His saliva flowed from his lips to his chest, but this did not surprise the attendant. The old man who ruled the kingdoms of the mainland for more than half a century had already overdrawn his life.

"I understand, Your Majesty, what you mean is to add the Teutonic Knights to the list of Knights. OK, let's do it immediately and let their sticks smash the heads of the pagans." The attendant lowered his head as if he was catering to His Majesty's will, but only God knows what is true.

The sound of horse hooves in the square resounded through the sky like thunder. Several eagles flew past the blue sky. They flew to the east, as if they had traveled through the vast and shady sea and searched for their own way of survival in the unknown sky. However, there were traces of humans everywhere. These bipedal creatures not only drove away other creatures, but also engaged in cruel battles between them.

"Praise Allah~~~." A scimitar stained with blood was raised high, under a pointed iron helmet, and a dark face. The Sultan warriors urged their soldiers to attack the castle violently. Although the orange griffin pattern flag was raised above the castle, the flag was as dilapidated as the old man's teeth. The Sultan soldiers climbed through the ladder like ants, and they rushed to the city wall. The knights and the guards were exhausted. They waved their heavy arms mechanically and tried their best to drive the invasion down the city wall.

"God, where is our Knights? Where is our army? Where is our glory?" In the main tower of the castle, although Earl Aka was wearing exquisitely embroidered clothes and wearing precious gold necklaces that many continental kings could not imagine. The huge gems shone in the sun, but he was like a ghost entering the underworld. He watched through the stained glass windows as his castle was smashed by pagan sieges, and flames were on fire everywhere in the city, and thick black smoke floated upwards like the pillars of hell.

At sunset, the capital castle of Akka County was finally conquered by the sultan warriors, and the knights in the castle were killed. Since the largest barrier against pagans, Yach City, was conquered, many territories established by nobles from the mainland were conquered by pagans, and their heads were hung on the walls of their former castle. Their children were sold as slaves, and their property was confiscated and given to Mamluk and the sultan warriors. Overnight, the nobles on the mainland felt that hell was right in front of them and were in panic all day long.

"Ha, my master, my teacher, we have successfully conquered Aka County, and the glory belongs to Allah." In the scorching desert outside the castle, in a luxurious tent, the Sultan warrior who commanded the soldiers to conquer Aka Castle took off his helmet and walked into the tent. On the cushion in the center of the tent was a noble lord. His narrow face was like a nighthawk in the desert in the dark, his eyes could penetrate people's hearts like sharp arrows, but his face was a smile like a cool wind in the desert. The slaves sat behind him, gently sending the cool breeze with the ostrich feather fan, and a small box was placed next to the lord's hand.

"Yeah, very well, Muadam but don't be careless, I heard that the pagan pope is calling the Knights, so we must repair the castle immediately."

"If those weak knights dare to come, I will let them bury them in the desert." Muadam said indifferently. In his opinion, these knights in iron armor could only talk big.

"Don't be careless, anyone who underestimates the enemy will taste the taste of failure." The lord suddenly turned gloomy, as if he was dissatisfied with Muadam's underestimation.

"I'm sorry, my master, I know I'm wrong. I will do it according to your wishes." Muadam realized at this moment that this lord was the most admired by him and the entire Great Sultanate. How could he be so careless and despised his wise warning, so he quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

"Okay, drink it." The lord saw Muadam admit his mistake sincerely, nodded and opened the wooden box beside him. Although it was hot outside, there was a cold air in the box. When he opened the box, he miraculously filled the box with ice cubes. He used a cup of ice water to hand it to the brave Sultan warrior.
