In Notre Dame, Nok couldn't help but smile as he looked at Leo and others sitting at the bottom.
"Have you all decided? It's too late to leave now, otherwise when the church's army arrives, it will be too late for you to withdraw. What I am doing now will not be tolerated by the Holy Court."
Nok sincerely persuaded the people sitting below.
These people include: Leo, Milady, Lena, Hope, and the new Countess Lillian Rhine Sheffield and her Three Thousand Musketeers who came from the Kingdom of Lionheart by ship.
That’s right, it’s Lillian, Knock’s sister who used to live in Notre Dame in the Kingdom of Lionheart, who was sent to Prussia by Queen Elizabeth and became the granddaughter of the Grand Duke of the Rhine!
With the help of the Grand Duke of the Rhine, Lilian secretly returned to the Lionheart Kingdom with a thousand soldiers a few years ago, and regained her own territory and inheritance rights from her uncle.
With Elizabeth's support, she became the youngest countess in the Lionheart Kingdom.
Then, based on the one thousand soldiers supported by the Grand Duke of the Rhine, three thousand cavalry were trained and equipped with the latest muskets of the Lionheart Kingdom.
When she heard that Nok had returned, she had already started arranging the affairs of the territory for the adjutant and was preparing to bring people to find Nok.
As a result, I heard that Knock actually "conspired to rebel" and killed the cardinal and the king and queen of France.
Lilian, who originally only brought 500 men, sent people back to bring the remaining 2,500 cavalry.
The Lillians arrived last night, but her army also arrived in the morning.
This speed made Nok envious after knowing the whole story.
Leo, who was supposed to betray Nok, knew that Nok was in danger after hearing that Nok had done something earth-shattering.
So regardless of Sophia's obstruction, he put on his armor, gathered all the troops under his command, and then either threatened or induced all the small lords of the Champagne Territory to join his team and rushed to support Nok.
Sophia asked Leo puzzledly why.
Leo just said lightly: "I can seek power for you mother and son, but I can't give up Nok for power!
Because when I had nothing and everything was despairing, he was the only one who stayed with me.
If he is brilliant and powerful now, I can accompany you in obscurity.
But now that he is in danger and needs help around him, I can't let him go into danger alone.
Although I'm sorry, I hope you don't blame me. Take your children and property with you and go.
If Nok and I survive the danger safely, you can come back to me. If I never come back, forget about me! "
Leo left very decisively, and even though Sophia, mother and son burst into tears, they could not stop him.
When Nok stood on the city wall, he saw Leo arriving at the city gate with his army.
He didn't ask why he came, nor did he block him out. Instead, he opened the city gate wide and welcomed Leo and ten thousand troops into the city.
His straightforward and decisive behavior surprised even the troops defending the city at that time.
Hope even secretly asked Nock in private why he would believe a traitor.
Nok laughed and explained: “Leo became a father during the years when I was missing, so he had selfish motives and he betrayed me.
But when he arrived at the city gate with an army of ten thousand people, he said: I am coming. I knew that now he had given up his identity as a father and stood by my side as a knight.
I have no reason to doubt a knight's loyalty and faith.
Because I understand him better than anyone else. "
Even Leo was sitting firmly below, let alone the others.
The fishman Hope didn't care about the seriousness of the matter at all.
He is just a humble fishman, at least in the eyes of humans, he is dirty, rude, primitive and lowly.
But beside Nok, he saw the splendor of his own life.
He was not afraid of death, but was afraid of returning to the ignorant life of his former tribe.
Reina is not worried. She has been abandoned by her family since she refused to become a victim of family marriage.
Even her father and mother severed ties with her.
Her brother even tried to kidnap her to please other nobles. If Milady hadn't appeared and threatened Reyna's family with the name of Reims Cathedral, Reyna would have become a victim long ago.
Therefore, in her heart, Reims Cathedral is her destination.
It was her honor as a war nun to die fighting for her teacher!
As for Milady, she is wherever Nok is. Even if Nok says he wants to rebel against the Holy Church, she will help kill the Pope without hesitation!
"Brother Nok, there is no need to persuade you any more. Since we are sitting here, we have no intention of backing down. In addition, I also informed brother and sister Hywel and Avril that they are now members of the Villiers family of the Unicorn Kingdom. 's children.
Hywell became the heir to the Villiers family, and Avril married the son of a duke.
I believe they will bring their troops to join you soon.
By the way, I caught an old acquaintance on the road. You will definitely want to meet her. "
The speaker was Lillian.
Nok was surprised when he heard that an old acquaintance had been captured.
The person that Lilian could call an old acquaintance must be someone from the British city of the Lionheart Kingdom.
Only the people there were "old acquaintances" that both he and Lillian knew.
"Come on, bring people up!"
Lilian gave an order, and the guard outside the door pushed the two tied people in.
As the two "captives" got closer and closer, Nok's eyes gradually changed from confusion to surprise, and then to helplessness.
Leo on the side stood up directly, with a complicated expression.
There is surprise, anger, pain, and bitterness.
"Lillian, why did you catch him? Aren't you making things difficult for me and Leo?"
Nok said pointedly to Lilian.
Lilian's expression was stunned, and she looked at Nok, then at Leo, and then followed Leo's gaze to see the black-haired man among the prisoners, and she suddenly realized.
"Sorry, sorry, the old acquaintance I am talking about does not mean Sherlock Holmes. He is now a famous detective in England, but he can't catch my eye. At least I didn't expect that he would get involved with our old acquaintance and catch him. I caught people by the way.
Leo, if you want to take people away, please do so. All I want is this guy next to me who hides his head and shows his tail. "
"Lillian Sheffield! As the Earl of the Kingdom, you actually colluded with people from other countries and kidnapped your own citizens!"
Sherlock Holmes, who was escorted to the center of the hall, looked at Lilian sitting aside and immediately rebuked her loudly.
But they didn't notice that the expressions of Nok, who was sitting in the main seat, and Leo, who was sitting on the lower right, turned gloomy.
"Sherlock, I didn't expect that after more than ten years of seeing you, you still have the same character!"
Nok walked off the stage and stood in front of Sherlock.
"If I remember correctly, you are thirty years old this year, right? Why, you have become a famous detective and you don't know why? How dare you yell at a noble? Don't forget, you are a prisoner now !
If it weren't for Leo's sake, I would have ordered you to be dragged down and chopped right now! "
Sherlock looked at Nok in confusion, and gradually his confusion turned into surprise.
"It's you! Nok Lane! You're not dead!"
Nok sneered: "A shameless person like you is still living well, so how can I be willing to go to see the Holy Lord early? However, you are still so cold-blooded! Your biological father is standing in front of you, and you actually pretend not to see him.
No way? You really can’t recognize your biological father, right?
Or, in your heart, do you already regard him as a dead person? "
As soon as Nok said this, Sherlock was confused.
"Impossible! How could he still be alive! That monster! He died sixteen years ago!"
Sherlock roared out of control, his eyes darting around in panic at everyone in the hall, and finally locked on Leo.
Only Leo in the field best matched Sig's age and gender.
"It's you! You're him! Why aren't you dead yet!"
Meeting Leo's sad eyes, Sherlock panicked.
He recalled the scene of stabbing his father in the back at the British Court of Justice. He even thought of how he failed in the back stabbing, became infamous, and finally left his hometown and had to seek refuge with his uncle!
Unexpectedly, more than ten years have passed and he has become a famous detective, but this monster still appears in front of him.
"What are you going to do! You monster! You have ruined the first half of my life! Now that I have a successful career, do you want to get involved with me again? You just want to destroy me!"
Sherlock questioned Leo angrily, and Leo was heartbroken when he was questioned.
Even though I had said that I would forget this traitor, no matter whether he lived or died.
But now when faced with Nizi's questioning, he couldn't even open his mouth to refute!
"enough!"
Nok reached out and pinched Sherlock's cheek to stop him from shouting any more.
"Sherlock, don't judge others by yourself. Lilian said that she didn't want to catch you at all, you were just an accident.
So don't embarrass yourself here. No one cares about your little detective status. Everyone here is a hundred times more noble than you!
Especially Leo, who is now the commander of the French Protectorate Army, is not something that a little detective like you can get behind!
Come on, put him in the dungeon and starve him for two days before waiting for punishment! "
Nok threw Sherlock to the ground and let the guards drag him down despite Sherlock's screams.
Nok turned around and patted Leo, who looked ugly, without saying anything else.
Leo also understood that he couldn't blame Nok for overstepping his authority. It was really because he couldn't bear to attack Sherlock.
In the end, it is inevitable that he will relent and let the person go.
But now Knock is in a critical period, and no surprises can be tolerated.
Locking up Sherlock is the best option. You can't just kill this traitor with one knife!
"Now, can you let me see your true face? The old—familiar—person hiding under the cloak!"
Nok's eyes were fixed on the woman wearing a cloak with her head lowered.
Yes, the other prisoner was a woman.
The aura on his body was still very familiar to Nok.
The aura and magic fluctuations of deist believers.
This woman planned to attack her secretly, but maybe because she was not sure, the spell remained hidden.
There was no way, who let there be a group of people in the hall besides the guards.
No one is weaker than the cloaked woman.
Facing Nok's question, the woman under the cloak sneered:
"Are you sure you want to see my true face? Do you not regret it? Or, you don't feel guilty at all for what you did back then! Nook Lane!"
As the last question echoed over the hall, the woman lifted up her cloak.
