Chapter 174 Don’t weigh it!
Almost in front and back, Horn had just left the evening before, and the church's fleet arrived the next morning carrying a large army.
The army of nearly five thousand is already the limit of the church in Lower River County. Barneyforth even hired some militiamen himself.
But unfortunately, even though they hurried and hurried slowly, they still couldn't catch up with the footsteps of the group of short-haired people.
After a day of rest and investigation, and after confirming that they could not enter the Wild Spider Forest, both Barneyforth and Mizzam returned to Castle Joan of Arc.
After confirming that they could no longer pursue the enemy, Barneyforth and Mizam had no choice but to deal with the aftermath at Castle Joan of Arc.
So, in just a few days, the flag on the Castle of Joan of Arc changed again and again. After changing from the Duke's flag to the Salvation flag, it once again became the church's flag with the word "屮".
It seems to have changed, but it seems to have stayed the same.
At least when knights or priests passed by, the eyes of those citizens and workers showed not only submission, but also a bit of resentment and disgust.
But resentment is resentment, and resentment cannot hack the knights to death.
Therefore, the citizens restrained the corpses of nobles hanging on the roadside in advance, fearing to anger Bishop Barnifus and Prince Condé.
The letter left by the Grand Duchess was posted outside the door of the city hall.
If it had been put before, the church could actually ignore this letter to a certain extent.
But now Grandivar is reconciled with Johnny VIII, and Duchess Meliaty of Hemastone is reconciled with Archbishop Constance.
The situation in the entire Qianhe River Valley is one of reconciliation. Don’t make any mistakes and spend the New Year Festival safely.
After Guinigis killed Imbra, the focus of the struggle between Grandivar and Johnny VIII shifted to Longsong City.
Archbishop Constance needs the entire Thousand River Valley to be at peace and not to let him make any mistakes in his promotion to Cardinal.
Although there is no way to make a big fortune with this letter, the church's army of bandits still ran nearby to make a small fortune.
They extorted the surrounding towns and residents, and there were more than a dozen cases of robbery, murder, theft and even insult to women.
Some people are even secretly saying that the church’s army is not as good as the Salvation Army. At least the soldiers of the Salvation Army only extort money. At most, they severely injure people. They rarely kill people, and Piao Chang gives money back!
After reorganizing the entire Fort Joan of Arc, Barneyforth and Mirzam had no time to worry about the land problem left by Horn, and immediately began to investigate the entire incident.
This is no small matter. The blue blood wine was exposed, a parish was wiped out, hundreds of knights were killed, and even the duke was beheaded.
Although the Duke Darnay is unpleasant, he is a noble after all.
We must find out what happened.
In the castle dungeon, Drault, the knight commander of Duke Dardenne, was naked and tied to a long pillar.
He thought he could gain forgiveness and trust from the church by reporting the news, but he didn't expect that what he got in exchange was a prison sentence.
A basin of cold water was poured on his body covered with whip marks.
"Say or not?" Barneyforth roared.
You must know that today's Qianhe River Valley is not what it used to be. There was an uprising in Xiaochi City and short hair everywhere. With the imperial company's conquests, most of the rebels either hid in the mountains or were suppressed.
Then the only thorn in the Thousand River Valley is the original Saint Sun Horn.
By coincidence, St. Sun Horn and St. Great-grandson Thomas both came from the Parish of Barneyforth. Why are there no saints in other dioceses, but several are popping up in your diocese?
"Are you going to tell me?" Barneyfors said viciously to the Duke's knight commander in front of him.
In the battle of Castle Joan, most of the senior officials, such as Zanderbek, Bulwerf, Frisiska and others, died, but he, the knight chief, survived.
Why did you survive when everyone died? You have no problem, who has the problem?
"I've already told you that in the Battle of Long Bridge, Knight Frisisca was defeated by the refugees, and then the Duke was killed before he could return to the castle."
"Still talking hard, still talking tough "Barneyforth's face was as ferocious as a devil, "Even if they lost to the witch, how could they lose to a group of common people? How could the Duke die even if they lost to the common people?"
Mizam, who was sitting nearby, had no expression on his face and just winked to the side.
Four muscular, naked men wearing only black leather hoods and straps on their heads walked up.
"You don't... you can't... you can't do this, you can't do this!" Seeing the strong men wearing black leather masks getting closer and closer, Drolt shouted in horror. Shout, "It's a vampire, there are vampires!"
"Oh?" Barneyforth's eyes lit up and he raised his hand to stop the four strong men who came forward.
Barneforth, one of Myrcella’s enemies, the vampire, finally heard something interesting.
"That day, that day on the Long Bridge, I saw a vampire shouting, wind, hot wind, devil's wind, Myrcella, I order you to kneel down!" Drolte shouted regardless. Said, "Then a strong wind came and blew all the knights into the river."
The entire prison was quiet for seven or eight seconds, and after cold sweat dripped down Drort's head, Ba Nifus gritted his teeth and said: "That's not surprising, that's not surprising. There is indeed a devil at work."
"This is no longer an ordinary devil, this is simply the King of Devils, God." The right choice is the Demon King!" Priest Mizam echoed, "What then?"
"Then, then, it all ended up in the river." Drolt looked at Barneyfors in confusion, what else could he say after it was all in the river.
The knights can't fly. Even if the extraordinary knight enters the water, it would be good if he can swim as hard as a normal person.
Besides, he did not directly participate in the Battle of Long Bridge at that time, but hid near the castle with the Duke.
"I don't know? What, are you a deserter?"
"No, no, I was at the scene." Drorte immediately defended, "I was just reminiscing, like that The scene is too scary.”
"Speak quickly, we don't have much time for you to recall slowly."
Drolt swallowed and gritted his teeth. Anyway, most of the people in the Battle of Long Bridge died, so what's the point? You can’t just make it up however you want.
"They are summoning ghosts in the river!" Drort shouted, "I saw it with my own eyes, and the holy grandson shouted: 'The hour has come, all the slaves of Myrcella in this land After all are eliminated, you can rest in peace forever. I am the ally of vampires, the son of the devil, the lover of the witch, and the devil's grandson Horn. '
If you don't believe me, go to the river and see that the water is muddy. , because the Demon Sun summoned the ghost and dragged our knights into the river and drowned..."
Speaking of this, Drort burst out with inspiration and eloquently talked about how he killed the enemy bravely, How to be blown down by the devil's wind, how to struggle in the water, how to kill the ghost, how to get Frisiska's last instructions.
Barneyforth felt sleepy while sitting, but Mizam was enjoying it with gusto, and there was an inexplicable and terrifying look in his eyes from time to time.
“You will repeat these words to our secretary later.” Looking at the stiff expression on Drort’s face, Mizam smiled and said, “Every time there is something wrong, Just half an inch deep.”
“No, I already said it... No, no, you, don’t weigh it——”
