PS: Make up for yesterday’s.
The battle ended soon.
Reality is not "Assassin Warriors".
These assassins who specialize in assassination are not good at frontal combat.
But before they died, their counterattack still took away the lives of more than ten sergeants and attendants.
"Sir, if you hadn't arrived in time, we would all have died at the hands of these despicable, disgusting Assassin assassins."
A royal knight holding a kite shield said with excitement.
Lothar frowned and said, "Don't talk about this now. Send someone to call for someone immediately. In addition, strengthen the guards of the palace and don't let any suspicious people in or out."
The wounded man lying on the ground was already turning blue.
The sword blades of these assassins were quenched with poison, and there was no need for medical treatment for the wounded. One by one, they all died quickly.
Lothar's face was a little gloomy.
The only losses that could be seen at the scene were three knights, six squires, and twelve sergeants.
The retinue of Princess Sibylla who stayed to protect Baldwin V was another matter.
"Let the censor come and collect and mend the remains and relics of the deceased."
Lothar ordered loudly: "Especially remember to sew the heads and bodies of those who were beheaded together, otherwise they will not be able to ascend to the Kingdom of Heaven."
"Yes, Grand Commander!"
The members of the Royal Knights looked at Lothar with reverence. They saw with their own eyes how those cruel and brutal Assassin assassins died at the hands of the grand leader and his subordinates.
The Franks, who still retain the "barbarian" tradition, worship warriors, which is a tradition deeply rooted in their hearts.
Lothar walked towards the room behind the corridor.
"Sir, you can't go there!"
In order to protect the crown prince, the servants who were forced to take up arms blocked him.
"I'm going to meet with the Crown Prince to confirm His Highness's safety and get out of the way immediately."
Keng——
Behind Lothar, Hans's sharp armed sword was unsheathed, frightening the slaves.
In their opinion, Hans's performance in the battle just now was like that of the knight protagonists in legendary novels who are favored by witches and can kill dragons and devils.
Lothar pushed aside the attendants who were blocking his way and rushed straight into the room.
There was no one in the room.
Hundreds of white candles were burning on the iron lamp stands, illuminating the closed room with only a small window.
Lothar lowered his head and said in greeting: "Your Highness, I am Lothar von Habsburg, Grand Master of the Royal Knights. Assassin's assassins have been eliminated. Please come out."
Under the bed hung with a white gauze curtain, a pale little head was exposed.
The little boy slowly crawled out, raised his head, and stared at Lothar.
His body was very thin and his voice was trembling. I don't know if it was because of fear. His face was pale, but he still tried to hold up his chest: "Thank you for coming in time, Baron Lothar."
Seeing that Baldwin V was fine, Lothar breathed a sigh of relief. The turbulent Jerusalem could not withstand the trouble.
"Your Highness, I hope you can move immediately and live in His Majesty the King's palace. My hussars will protect you every step of the way."
Little Baldwin nodded: "As you wish, Baron."
"We can protect the Crown Prince!"
A knight loyal to Princess Sibylla came out at this time and said with some dissatisfaction: "This is a sacred duty entrusted to us by Her Highness the Princess. If we hand over Her Highness to you, it will tarnish our honor."
Hans looked at him coldly.
The knight felt an overwhelming and terrifying pressure, and subconsciously took two steps back.
Hans said coldly: "Please follow the will of the grand leader."
"Yes Yes."
No one dared to speak anymore.
Lothar picked up little Baldwin and, surrounded by people, walked towards His Majesty the King's palace.
The knight who just spoke quickly followed him and said politely: "Baron Lothar, I have to inform my lord, Her Highness Sibylla, and she will ask you for the custody of the crown prince."
"Well, just ask her to come see me."
Lothar nodded.
He is figuring out who is behind the attack.
The first thing that can be ruled out is Princess Sibylla. This princess has a strong desire for power. Although there are always legends in her previous life that she conspired with Guy to murder her parents and children to occupy the throne for the sake of power.
(In the movie, it is glorified that Baldwin V suffered from leprosy. Princess Sibylla did not want her son to suffer like her brother, so she took his life with her own hands. However, there is no evidence that Baldwin V actually suffered from leprosy. Moreover, leprosy is only contagious and not hereditary)
But she did not benefit herself at all, because she had not yet sat on the throne of the Queen Regent, and if she wanted to take action, there were too many opportunities for little Baldwin to die silently.
...
Inside the city of Jerusalem.
A dinner party was being held in Earl Philip's manor.
The Saracen slave girls twisted their graceful figures and danced gracefully to the sound of music.
Earl Philip raised his wine glass and said to everyone: "Thank you for attending the dinner hosted by me. The wine and the tender mutton will be enough tonight."
People applauded.
At this time, someone shouted: "Salute to the Earl. Only the Earl is worthy of the position of Grand Commander. We would like to ask His Majesty to take back his order."
"As long as all of us disobey the orders of the new country baron, Your Majesty must also consider everyone's wishes!"
"Yes, just like tonight, my attendants and I have chosen not to perform our duties because we will not obey the orders of an incompetent Grand Commander."
So far, this dinner party has been a blur.
Some members of the Royal Knights looked embarrassed. It was obvious that the first few people to speak were the loyal confidants of Earl Philip.
But they don't want to disobey the king's will just for this little profit.
The most important thing about the Royal Knights is their loyalty to His Majesty the King.
If even they disobey the king's will, then there will be no loyalty in the whole of Jerusalem.
The atmosphere in the venue fell into stagnation.
Earl Philip's face was a little ugly, and the development of things was obviously not as satisfactory as they imagined.
At this time.
Boom——
The Zoroastrian minaret with a cross on the top emitted the melodious ringing of bells.
Subsequently.
boom--
The closed doors of the manors exploded, sending sawdust flying.
Hoplites holding two-handed axes, carrying bucklers on their backs, and wearing multiple layers of chain mail and red and white smocks rushed in from the door.
"who?"
"Stop, this is Count Philip's private property, you have crossed the line!"
A few drunken knights didn't see the situation clearly and said with a smile: "Ha, is this kid imitating the emperors of the Eastern Empire and forming a Varangian Guard for himself?"
The Franks looked down upon the weakness of the Greeks.
Although they sincerely envied the prosperity of the Eastern Empire, they did not pay attention to the imperial-style army that had been weakened in recent years and was defeated by the Turkic states in Asia Minor.
Earl Philip joked: "What's wrong, boy, are you here to apologize to me?"
Lothar rode on the back of Nisaan's horse and ignored the thoughts of these drunken lunatics. He said loudly: "Commander Count Philip neglected his duties and transferred people away from their posts without authorization, which resulted in the Crown Prince being attacked by Assassin's assassins." , all your official titles will be removed immediately, and you will be imprisoned in prison, awaiting trial by the Grand Council."
"No...impossible!"
Earl Philip's expression changed drastically, and he stammered: "It's been fine for so many years, why is it today?"
"Your Excellency, Commander, are the changes in the palace tonight planned by you?"
"Yes...that's true, but..."
"Then there is no need to talk nonsense. I now suspect that you are involved in the murder of the crown prince. Please put down your resistance immediately, otherwise I will not guarantee your life safety."
"Planning...to murder the crown prince?"
Phillip's lips were trembling: "There is no way I will get involved, I swear, I swear on the honor of the Welf family!"
Lothar looked around and sneered: "In addition, I will have a list next. Everyone whose name is called, please stand up for me. I promise to give you a fair trial."
