Chapter seventy seven

"Maybe I can find someone to use it, maybe I can just put it there. Isn't it the same here? It's just an exhibition." Richard said, and walked towards the depths of the temple.

Martin has been following Richard all the time. Strangely, both the followers and the construction knights took this for granted, and no one came up to stop him and asked something.

"You are not simple." Richard said lightly when he saw it.

"You're beaten to surrender." Martin smiled self-deprecatingly, and then continued to ask: "Do you just want the holy objects in the temple?"

"I will take away both the holy objects and the priests," said Richard.

Martin suddenly realized: "You want a ransom."

"It's not all...well, this book is good, put it away." As he said that, Richard picked up a holy book on the altar and threw it to a consolidation knight next to him.

Martin shrugged and said, "This sacred book is very ordinary... but it's good that you like it. If it's not all for ransom, then your intention to do it... Well, let me think about it, you want to show strength and determination."

Richard was a little surprised and said, "You are too smart, but this time you guessed it. Your Chinese Archbishop almost killed me in Carlando, and he also wanted to make a war with me in Noland, so I'll come."

"Chinese, he is a dog of the church, an evil dog, but if the church wants to develop, such a person is indispensable. In fact, you don't have to pay too much attention. People like him are destined to be sacrificed one day."

Martin's remarks surprised Richard again. He glanced at the mysterious young cardinal and asked, "How is the strength and determination I have shown this time."

"I was impressed." Martin exclaimed, his tone coming from the heart. "According to my understanding, you do this not to start a war, but to avoid war, right?"

Richard played with a helmet and said, "I like you a little now, and I'm not tired of talking to you at all."

"This is not difficult to guess. Now the top leaders of the church, including Chinese, should know that the consequences of going to war with you are serious, so I believe they will think carefully before continuing to provoke you." After Martin finished speaking, he spread his hands and said, "Of course, if you choose to start a war in this case, it will be the result of careful consideration."

"Even if they think carefully, they will find that if they want to deal with me, they will have to pay much more than they expected."

Martin said indifferently: "That's their business, ha, you have already regarded me as your own."

Only then did Richard realize that he had unknowingly placed Martin in the scope of "our", while they were the top leaders of the other Holy Hui Church.

"Is this your special ability?" Richard asked.

"This is a kind of talent, an innate talent, just like people's blood abilities, and has nothing to do with faith. This ability, I call it charisma." Martin looked serious.

Richard also respected him. Only those with such abilities are geniuses and extraordinary charisma, and they are indeed the same as their names.

Martin immediately regained his smile and shrugged, "This ability just makes people naturally feel close to me. If I really want to cheat them, it will not work, so it is actually useless."

Martin was just talking lightly, but Richard knew that in certain fields, such as faith and politics, the role of charismatic will be magnified hundreds or thousands of times.

At this time, a cavalryman ran over and said, "Sir, all the priests have taken care of. Now whether they are escorted into the car, but several of them are seriously injured."

While Richard was pondering, Martin next to him said, "I have a suggestion. Since what you want is ransom and the church will no longer cause trouble for you, there is no need to catch those clergy. They have overdrawn their bodies and lives in the battle just now and cannot withstand long-distance travel. Although these people are consumables that can be sacrificed and abandoned in the eyes of my Lord, it will be a big trouble if any of them dies. If you want to catch them, I am actually the best choice. Just take me one. You can offer any price to the Shenghui Church."

Richard looked at Martin and said, "It sounds good, but are you worth so much money?"

"A cardinal as young as me, there are only two in the Holy Ray Church, Mesaiah and I. My title in the church is St. Martin, what do you think."

Richard narrowed his eyes and said, "St. Martin, the next Pope who is scheduled to be."

Martin shook his head and said, "It's just one of the Popes's choices... One, between me and Messiah, there will be someone who will become the next Pope."

"This identity is enough. Now let's see what other holy objects can be taken in this temple," said Richard.

"When it comes to holy things, there is no thing in this temple that can compare to the sacred book in my hand. Of course, you can take something you want, but there are a few things you should not take away, as it will anger the church."

Richard looked at Martin deeply and said, "You seem to have been helping me."

"I'm helping myself."

Richard said: "Is this true for you and the sacred texts in your hands, plus a few less important holy objects?"

“Yes, that’s it.”

At this time, the knights of the construction had searched the entire temple and moved some of the more special holy objects to Richard. Some of them could not be moved were marked. They took Richard to see them one by one. Richard chose for a while and selected three swords, one broken shield and a golden holy grail. The two most famous artifacts of the Temple of St. Louis, a long sword used by the Lord of Glory before igniting the divine fire, and the holy robe used by Saint Louis. Richard did not move. He only brought some ordinary holy objects, and some had no faith value at all. For example, the holy grail, which has been placed on the altar for hundreds of years, used as a holy water. There is no special place except that, and even magical items are not.

But after seeing Richard's choice, Martin was thinking, and his eyebrows were inadvertently solemn.

The sudden fall of the Temple of St. Louis shocked the entire Holy Tree Dynasty. Richard used his troops strangely and instantly went deep into the hinterland of the Holy Tree Dynasty and captured the city of Topur, which made all the nobles in the entire northeast of the dynasty look dull. The emperor immediately ordered the nearby nobles to mobilize comprehensively, and no matter what, Richard could not escape from the Holy Tree Dynasty.

A huge uproar occurred within the Holy Hui Church. St. Martin was hijacked. This was a big event. Although Martin was only one of the pope candidates, he was almost the designated pope. Dark Messiah will take over the Dark Church and the Inquisition in the future. When the Pope heard that Richard did not have major blasphemy in the Temple of St. Louis and was still polite to the priests, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he immediately sent a special envoy to find Richard and prepared to negotiate with him the issue of releasing St. Martin. As for the holy objects, as long as the holy robe and the divine sword are still there, Richard took away all the optional things, and he even took away a completely useless golden holy grail. Could it be that Richard was interested in the gold that made the Holy grail?

In any case, the purpose of Richard's raid has been achieved. During the return journey, Richard led more than 500 people and only brought Saint Martin, one captive, which was more mobile and flexible. He went in and out in Solam and defeated several scattered corps of Solam one after another. However, the main force of the duke could not catch Richard's whereabouts. In total, the Duke of Solam lost all seven battles. Among them, the Duke of Solam was at an absolute disadvantage in comparison with the troops in several battles. No matter what, Richard should not win, but Richard won, and it was not a small victory. When the Duke saw the war report, he could not believe his eyes at all. He called the general who led the army to ask. The general would only say repeatedly: "They are not humans, they are machines, and machines that only know how to fight."

After repeated inquiries, the Duke realized that the cooperation between Richard's knights had reached an incredible level of understanding. They had completely become a whole, like a killing monster with thousands of arms.

At this point, Duke Solam knew that he would definitely not be able to do anything to Richard's small-scale super elite on the battlefield. The only solution was at the level of the strong.

That night, Duke Solam left the army alone and went to chase Richard.

When the moon passed by the sky, the duke had found the place of Richard's army. Solam showed murderous intent, drew out his swords and slowly landed towards Richard's camp. When the legendary powerful man also came out, the war should come to an end.

Richard's army set up a small camp in the mountains. In the central camp tent, Richard was reading a book of the Shenghui Church. Martin sat in the camp tent. He could explain everything that Richard didn't understand well. There were two additional Knights of the Anfeng, which seemed to be guarding against Martin.

At this moment, one of the Anfeng Knights suddenly said: "He has come."

Richard closed the holy scripture in his hand, his eyes flashed with cold light, and said, "Come on, that's great. You can no longer wear this armor."

"This thing is really uncomfortable." The Knight of the Anfeng said, and began to remove the armor from his body. When he took off his helmet, he showed a handsome but somewhat evil face.

Asiris, the dark magician.

Seeing Asiris, Martin's eyes flashed and said to Richard: "I really didn't expect that you were so well prepared and endured it until now."

Asiris has always been dressed as a Knight of the Ancient Front. At the most tense moment of the battle in the Temple Square, Richard did not let him show up. Now, it was time for him to appear. Asiris is also improving. After Xiulan's battle, he thought repeatedly and practiced several new powerful magical techniques. Now, as long as he is present, ordinary legendary powerhouses will be unable to escape.

That night, a shocking war broke out in the depths of the forest. Duke Solam fled seriously injured and fled. The encirclement of Richard by the Holy Tree Dynasty ended.
