Chapter 345 Calculation
"Crazy, crazy."
John's face on the tower was full of horror. He did not personally participate in the separatist war that year.
However, according to the description afterwards, the church army behaved very terrifyingly.
But in the past thirty-six years, he had never seen the legendary church army again.
Even if the church army was recruited several times to fight, it only played the role of cannon fodder.
But today, the dead memories seemed to come to life.
Seeing the church army coming one after another, he felt the fear he had not seen for a long time.
The walls of the royal palace were originally designed to prevent rebellion.
In the age of cold weapons, such a city wall and the imperial guards could be said to be impregnable.
All rebels cannot get past this strong wall.
Subconsciously, the possibility of rebellion was ignored.
But now, times have changed.
Commander John realized the danger.
"Hold on, don't let the rebels come in."
Commander John briefly explained a few words and left in a hurry with his entourage.
At this time, keeping the king is the most important thing.
The Bruno royal family is not at the end of its rope, on the contrary... it has just won the war on the front line, and the royal family's strength is at its peak.
Just as it happened, the king was riding here in a soft sedan chair.
Halfway through, the two sides bumped into each other.
The commander of the Imperial Guard led his soldiers into the inner court at night. They were confused and thought he was planning a coup.
Fortunately, King Bruno didn't lose his mind and shouted back the followers around him in time.
"Get John over here."
Realizing that he had lost his temper, Commander John took the initiative to hand over his weapon, and then walked quickly to the king's sedan chair.
"Your Majesty, the church army has rebelled. I'm afraid the palace cannot be defended. We need to leave the city first."
King Bruno's expression changed slightly, he didn't expect the situation to be so bad.
The dignified king's escape was not only embarrassing, but also very cowardly.
"Is the situation really out of control?"
King Bruno still didn't want to believe it. In his impression, the kingdom's defense was absolutely strong. It wouldn't collapse so quickly, would it?
Commander John had a wry smile on his face: "It's my fault. I ignored the power of firearms and gave the church an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Now we have to leave the city quickly and wait until we gather the army to judge these traitors. "
The king understood that John was not the only one to ignore this. Everyone ignored the impact of the power of firearms.
The change of times will always eliminate some ancient existences.
Now is not the time to pass the blame, King Bruno is very decisive: "John, you come with me, leave now."
Face is not important in the face of life and death.
Only if you are alive can you lead the troops to fight back.
Fortunately, there was more than one secret passage in the palace, and the king fled in a hurry with some of his relatives.
…
With a loud bang, the church army broke through the palace.
A large number of crazy believers broke in and killed everyone they saw.
Faith is a delicious poison to anyone.
When it was discovered that the king and his family were missing, not even the black-robed priests could restrain the army.
Several princes and princesses who did not escape were caught, and the crazy soldiers pressed them directly outside the palace.
The red-eyed soldiers pinned these nobles to the ground.
Bang bang! !
Not far away, several black-robed priests watched this scene, and no one stopped them.
Run away from the king, and there will be big trouble next, and no one will pay attention to these small things.
What's more, they themselves can't stand the royal family, so if they die, they will die.
That night, the capital was in chaos.
I don't know how many people died this night, and the rest were in panic, waiting for the dawn to come.
There is also a group of surrenderers who know the truth but have embarrassing identities.
Regardless of the reason for the surrender, now that the king is not dead, their orders become unpredictable.
The surrendered city guards huddled together to keep warm. When neither side remembered their existence, some of them gathered together.
General Parker is one of them. Although he is a very weak general, he has a reputation after all.
In addition, opening the city gate was somewhat of a credit, and Bishop Kazim also took care of him, so many people took refuge in him.
So it was very magical that the number of Parker's soldiers was actually more, and even the weapons were not confiscated.
Several people were sent outside to inquire about the news. After dawn, a priest finally found them with orders.
"General Parker, by the order of the Pope, you have been recruited. Don't run around for the time being. A bishop will come to take over this place soon."
Now the king's capital is ruled by the church. In addition to the army that entered the city last night, some nobles close to the church have defected to the church. Together with the temporary administrative structure organized by the priests, the situation has been stabilized.
Of course, Parker and others did not dare to have any objections, otherwise these miscellaneous soldiers, less than a thousand, would have died without knowing how.
When the priest left, everyone was in chaos.
In the end it was Parker who slammed the table.
"Stop arguing. You stay here. I will disguise myself and go to see Bishop Kazim. No matter who wins or loses in the future, we can hold on to the army and there will be a way to survive."
This is true. When everyone was at a loss, what Parker said made sense, and they all found their backbone.
Parker found a room, changed his clothes, and slipped over the wall.
Of course, he had no intention of escaping.
He didn't know where Bishop Kazim was, but it wouldn't be difficult to find him.
What's surprising is that Parker, who was indecisive last night, turned out to be very decisive in a series of performances today.
He even used several anti-tracking techniques very skillfully along the way, and circled around to a private house.
He squatted down as if he was polishing his shoes to make sure no one was following him.
Then he opened the dog hole in the corner of the wall and threw the note in.
Then he went to the church he often went to, trying to find Bishop Kazim.
There was such a big commotion last night, and the spies in the yard had been waiting for the message to be delivered.
As soon as the note was thrown in, it was quickly picked up.
When he opened it, it was a line of numbers.
He hurried in to translate it, and then his eyes lit up.
He swallowed the note casually, changed into a priest's uniform, and went out.
…
Civil strife in the Kingdom of the Holy Cross!!
Derek knew this explosive news earlier than Duke Fernandez on the front line.
Before the church took action, the Ninth Investigation Department had already received the news.
So Derek took the train to Port Digen overnight, and then rode to the front-line command post.
When the latest news was delivered, he was already sitting in the main seat of the command post.
Manniu and others accompanied him on both sides, waiting for Derek to finish reading the intelligence.
"It's done, the Holy Cross Kingdom has fallen into the trap."
