In the narrow church, Duke William and the Saint King were fighting.
The long sword and the long sword exchanged each other, and the holy sword drawn by the saint king struck directly at Duke William's shoulder. This was a lightning-like attack. Duke William's sword skills that had been tempered for many times were used instantly, just like the instinct of the body, There was no need to think, no flinching, no escaping from the power of the holy sword. He strode forward and without any scruples attacked the saint who was regarded as an example by countless believers in Christendom.
Seeing that the attack was ineffective, the Saint King gave up the attack and attacked Duke William's sword directly. No weapon made by a mortal craftsman could have the power of a holy sword.
"My beloved sword, I give you constant attributes, immortal steel. If my heart does not yield, the sword cannot be broken. Shine!"
Duke William saw the Saint King's sword changing from attacking his body to his long sword. He snorted coldly, uttered a spell on his lips, and cast a word spirit on his own sword. The blades of the swords intertwined and collided with each other, creating fire. .
With a bang, the shining brilliance of the holy sword dimmed instantly. Duke William didn't care about the power of the holy sword. He grabbed the blade of the holy sword with his hand, then withdrew and slashed towards the body of the saint king.
boom!
The Saint King looked at the long sword stuck in his body and Duke William's bloody hand holding his holy sword. He took a deep breath and said, "Cousin, you are really working hard."
"Cousin Edward, it would be better to say that you seemed to want to really kill me just now."
William put down his sword, pulled out the white cloth wrapped in his scarred hand, and nodded slightly to the saint king in front of him.
The saint-king in front of him is the former King of England and the current patron saint of England, St. Edward the Confessor. He is also the cousin of Duke William.
"If you don't have the strength, it's best not to worry about England and the royal power of Britain."
St. Edward said casually. He pulled out the sword from his body. The injury on his chest was recovering bit by bit. Even after leaving England, in the Christian world, saints as role models for believers still have great power. Be with God and enjoy eternal life.
"King Arthur is connecting with the Celtic gods. At the same time, Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, does not like you. As long as Samhain is over, they will launch a new dragon-slaying warrior. My dear cousin William, leave it to you. Time is running out.”
The halo above St. Edward's head was extremely bright, and it was like a small artificial sun that enveloped the entire church in the church. Duke William took back his sword. His cousin St. Edward was his biggest help in conquering Britain and obtaining the title of King of England.
Saint Edward, the former king of England, although he did not have any great achievements in history, he believed in Christ and supported the church during his tenure as king. Christ once appeared to him, and the holy apostle John the Baptist personally performed miracles for him. Because of his piety, he received the title of "Confessor". After his death, he became a saint and was posthumously canonized as a saint by the church. He is also the patron saint of England.
Generally speaking, as long as you reach the second level, complete great achievements that are difficult for humans to achieve, and become a legend, you can obtain a title, whether it is Liam's "Escaper" or Francis's "Dragon Slayer". It is one of countless titles, but among countless titles, only words with Christian overtones are the most glorious and powerful.
The "penitents" and "pious ones" obtained by King Edward of England and King Louis of France were gifts from the church, reflecting a king's great contribution to the Christian world. The rules of the Kabbalah Tree of Life were formulated by God. Rules are the rules of the Christian world, so church titles are often more glorious and powerful than titles of the same rank.
"Of course I know that I am determined to win the kingship of Britain. I have the banner of Michael and the army summoned by the magic backpack. I also have your help. The Pope gave me my Holy Cross flag, and the Emperor also made political decisions on me. With the support from above, victory is a matter of course for me.”
Duke William said of course, "As an illegitimate son, with the support of the nobles, I succeeded to the throne as a duke at the age of seven, but became a puppet. Three of my guardians were assassinated by important ministers, and my respected tutor was also assassinated. What the nobles of the principality want is just a puppet duke, so they will never let me hold power and have full wings. Even if I am a duke, my life will be like a duckweed in the water. I don’t know when it will end completely.”
"However, God never abandoned me. I was recognized by the Dawn of the Holy Sword. During the period when I was overthrown by the nobles of the principality, I completed the feat of slaying the dragon, gained a lot of wealth, and finally put down the rebels with the help of the King of France. Noble. Although I was only recently canonized as a knight by the King of France, I already understand the mission I have."
Duke William said calmly that his biggest advantage now is England's patron saint. Saint Edward is his cousin and a supporter of his succession. Edward's mother is William's aunt. The relationship between the two is quite close. Before becoming King of England, he had lived in Normandy since he was a child. He was more of a Norman than a Saxon.
He told of all the bitterness he had experienced over the years, from being a puppet duke who could be killed and replaced by powerful ministers at any time, to now being in charge of power and intending to land in the British Isles and become king. For him, everything was like a dream.
"It's not natural, William. You will encounter various obstacles on your way forward. You also have several competitors, but I prefer you to become the king of England."
St. Edward calmly poured cold water on him. Young people are always like this. They think that their ambitions and ambitions are their own abilities. Especially a successful monarch blindly believes in his own power.
Arrogance is a recipe for failure.
The current King Harold of England is also his younger brother, and also has the right to inherit the throne of England. The current Kingdom of Denmark is extremely powerful. With the assistance of the great magician Andersen, the King of Denmark also claimed the throne of England, and Norway The king even claimed the right to inherit the throne of England, and the Celts seemed to want to support a king.
It's the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, no, this is simply a melee between the nations like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
"My dear cousin, do you know the blessing I received? The evil dragon will only die in the hands of the dragon slayer. This is destined, but the wish I made is that I will die in the hands of someone stronger than me. In the hands of the Dragon Slayer, I am therefore truly immortal unless destined to be that one.”
Duke William said with a chuckle, full of confidence in himself.
The evil dragon will only be killed by the dragon slayer. This is a prophecy of fate, but he has a blessing, the blessing that he will only be killed by those stronger than him.
