In Vatican City, the church headquarters, the huge floor-to-ceiling windows are covered with a thick layer of dust and mist, and a red figure can be vaguely seen standing behind them.
Under the loose, thick robes decorated with gold, there is a face in his thirties, thin, with deep eye sockets, and a pale face, as if he had been malnourished for many years.
"Have the orders been delivered?"
"Delivered, Mr. Archbishop."
"Ryan didn't refuse or protest?"
"No, we have already set off to Caesar City with the knights."
Cardinal Caston Moby was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and shook his head: "Ryan is still the confident Ryan, and this confidence will kill him."
"Yes, Mr. Archbishop, Caesar City is no longer something humans can pacify."
"I heard that Ryan participated in the Battle of the East China Sea in Daxia?" Moby stretched out his thin and pale palms, covered his lips and coughed twice, panting and murmuring with distracted eyes: "The Battle of the East China Sea in Daxia, it was such a great event. A long-awaited battle..."
"Mr. Archbishop, that was a meat grinder battle."
"Perhaps, but I don't deny the grandeur of the East China Sea Battle, and the many proud men who emerged from the sky, especially the Chief of General Staff of Great Xia, he... is like a god."
Moby looked at his archbishop's red robes mockingly.
The old man immediately said seriously: "Mr. Archbishop, God is always with us. Apart from the Pope, you are the person closest to God. When in public, please be careful about your words and deeds, and don't say anything like what you just said."
Moby regained his composure and nodded.
"I understand, continue to observe Ryan's condition."
"Okay, Mr. Bishop, sooner or later you will need to compete with Ryan." The old man, as the butler and retinue of the bishop sent by Hilton, said extremely seriously: "The church must take back that ten thousand knights. If you can do it, Only by taking back the Knights, or letting Ryan lead the Knights to join you, can you survive, otherwise, Ryan will kill you sooner or later. No prince of the William family is willing to have a strange brother show up!"
Moby smiled and said no more.
After the old man left.
Mobi's thin figure seemed to fall like dead leaves in late autumn with the wind if a random gust of wind blew. He looked at the dead trees outside the window, his eyes were empty, and he whispered softly: "Great summer... the magnificent Great Summer" Xia...the land full of passion...Lian has gone, but I will never be able to go there in this life..."
"I am a mouse who cannot see the light of day until Ryan dies..."
"I really envy Ryan..."
.......
In Caesar City, the gloomy dark clouds were like a heavy quilt, pressing on the entire city, making people breathless.
The autumn leaves rolling down on the street, the remains of broken arms and corpses that could not be seen at any time, and the smell of putrefaction and blood in the air made everyone in the Knights feel a chill to the bones just by standing at the gate of Caesar City. cold.
Can we really pacify such a vicious city?
The faces of everyone in the Knights were filled with solemnity and worry.
Ryan looked at the end of the dim street, where there were hills piled up with countless corpses, already rotting, attracting more than a dozen crows to circle around. He turned around and scanned everyone's faces, seeing their hesitation and fear.
"Captain Ryan, why don't we withdraw?"
The young knight gritted his teeth: "I know that you participated in the Battle of the East China Sea, and you survived that meat grinder-like battlefield. You are definitely not worried about Caesar City, but really, this city is not something that our knights can handle now... ..."
Ryan suddenly turned around and rode towards Caesar City.
"Captain Ryan! What are you doing?"
Ryan did not look back. The cold autumn wind made his red hair dance wildly, and his voice clearly echoed in the ears of everyone in the Knights.
"I had no intention of letting you go in with me."
"I, Ryan, will take care of this city by myself."
"If I die, there is no need to look for me, just retreat to Rome."
"If I win, when I leave the city, you will sign a knight's contract with me and you will be loyal to me forever."
Everyone in the Knights froze on the spot, looking at the arrogant figure without saying anything for a long time.
Is it just for our purest loyalty to enter the restricted area of the evil city alone?
A knight can be anyone's knight.
But you can only sign a contract with one person in your life.
After the contract is signed, no matter whether rich or poor, whether born, old, sick or dead, they will follow the master.
Of course, when a knight wants to sign a contract, his emotions and state of mind at that moment have been conquered by that person's charm, strength, personality, and quality. Even if he falls into hell or ascends to heaven, he wants to follow him to the world forever. The end.
A contract is just a form of expression.
The cold wind was blowing to the bones, and there were endless corpses on the road. The moment Ryan entered Caesar City alone on his horse, his eyes were extremely determined, and the scene of Qin Jue's bloody battle with Amaterasu came to mind.
"Qin Jue, I will be as strong as you."
"You are like an eagle striking thousands of miles away, how can I perish even though I'm so far away..."
The cold wind rolled up Ryan's sleeves, and the red-edged and black-hearted sword came out of its sheath in the wind, reflecting the dark yellow light of late autumn. As the war horse rode the wind, the sword blade also cut off the wind along the way.
.......
Qin Jue, who was sitting in the military vehicle with his arms folded, suddenly seemed to have some realization and looked to the west, with a trace of worry flashing in his calm eyes.
Even he didn't know why he was worried.
But this emotion just appeared in my heart for no reason.
"Brother Jue, we are going to the Yangtze River soon!" Qin Feng, who was driving, suddenly spoke, interrupting Qin Jue's thoughts.
Qin Jue turned around and saw the endless Yangtze River outside the car window.
The majestic Yangtze River has not changed for thousands of years, and has always been rolling forward, nourishing hundreds of millions of people along the way.
"Well, when General Lin Long was ordered to go to the south of the Yangtze River, one thing killed 1,600 people at once in Changhe?" Qin Jue asked casually.
Li Yuqing, who was in the back seat, suddenly became excited. She leaned forward, put her whole head over, and said excitedly: "Yes! Brother, you don't know. If Lin Long really crossed the Yangtze River at that time, I am afraid that the entire five provinces south of the Yangtze River would be destroyed." If they were to fall in front of that bastard Zhao Haihuang, the battle was huge, with an entire army group and tens of thousands of people, but the Yangtze River blocked them so hard that not even a single person could cross the river. "
Qin Jue hummed and looked out the window quietly.
Just for a moment, he saw a huge and terrifying reflection in front of the Yangtze River.
That area, plus the distance visual difference, is estimated to have a residential area of 100 square meters...
