I was regarded as a demon god by a witch

Chapter 374 The Affection of the Alsace Family

A week after Ivita agreed to the assistance of the Mangoya Kingdom and General Antioch, all the assistance promised to Ivita before came to Ivita's territory.

First of all, the Mangoya Kingdom had previously agreed to give him 800 troops, a fourth-level knight and a third-level witch. When their army came to Joseph's castle, Ivita stood on the city wall and saw Groups of mercenary troops wearing chainmail and holding various short-handled weapons, with many first-level professionals mixed in among them.

It can be said that this is a very sophisticated elite army, and at first glance, Iveta found that this army has a very good order.

In the entire Cross Island, there may not be such an excellent army.

The Mangoya Kingdom was willing to give such troops to itself, which made Evita look different.

As the leader of the troops, Knight Gaoken looked up to the highest point of Joseph's castle, where he felt danger and terror. This made Knight Gaoken frown. If he remembered correctly, he remembered His Majesty telling him, The little prince of Alsace was just a great wizard.

But why would he have the illusion that he participated in slaying the most evil and powerful wizards in the past?

The Goken Knight was riding on horseback, holding a plainly dressed little girl in his right hand. The girl was wearing a pair of blue suspenders and a milky white shirt. The girl looked up at the Goken Knight and said curiously. : "Dad, is this the new place you said we would live in? But this city looks so small."

"Compared to Lisbon, the capital of our country, this city seems too deserted. Will there be good plays and doll shops here? Will there be troubadours who specialize in telling stories to children? How soon can we Return to our homeland?"

The Korkan knight frowned. "Sha'er, I told you a long time ago that we came here following the king's order. We will live here for a long, long time, and I don't know how long it will take."

"Don't let anyone hear what you just said."

"Otherwise, the owner here will be unhappy. After all, this is just an ordinary city in the world of pirates. How can you compare this place with Lisbon."

Knight Gaukon looked at the shabby castle in front of him and sighed. Well, he also admitted that the city is still too barren, and he may not be able to find a qualified grammar teacher for her daughter.

But since he married a woman from the Alsace family of the Mangoya Kingdom, and now his wife has been killed by the enemy, he must be loyal to the Alsace family.

'Your Highness in front of you is an Alsatian who needs my help. Knight Gaoken sat on the horse and said to himself mentally: "I had anticipated this situation when I left Lisbon." '

In front of the castle, the drawbridge was lowered, and the gate of the castle was also opened.

Knight Gaoken ordered his deputy to let the troops enter the city gate.

But at the same time, he also saw four professionals riding four horses approaching quickly from a distance.

Knight Goken suddenly felt the hairs on his back stand up. Based on experience, he knew that the four people approaching quickly were all ruthless men with bloody hands. He pulled out the battle ax from his back and ordered to the troops behind him: "It could be an enemy attack."

"Form a tortoise shell array, defend first, and then observe the situation."

The troops behind the Goken knight immediately moved after the orders of the herald. In a very short period of time, five hundred infantry formed semicircular square formations, and combined 100 artillery troops and 100 cavalry. Surround the middle.

Ivita, who saw all this from above the castle, nodded involuntarily, expressing his affirmation of this elite force.

Such a phalanx is not only powerful in defense, but also the cavalry unit protected in the middle can attack at any time, and the artillery unit can launch a round of bombing to the outside world at any time.

It can be said that you can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat.

superb.

The adjutant beside Knight Goken looked into the distance with his binoculars in confusion. "He is a fourth-level church knight. The robe he wears has a golden iris pattern. I think he is a middle-level clergyman in the church. He should be surrounded by high-level rangers, priests and a very A rare professional marksman."

The adjutant paused, then continued: "The sharpshooter's face is as round as a plate, but he is very short. I think he is not from the magical Black Forest, but a barbarian from the vast grasslands outside the Black Forest. . He also has a lot of tattoos on his body... Damn it, how could our employer get into trouble with such a person?"

"I knew this was going to be troublesome."

Knight Gaoken glanced at him coldly and warned: "Are you able to talk about the Alsace family's affairs? If you are unwilling to serve me and His Highness, you can return to Lisbon now."

The adjutant knew that he had made a mistake and quickly explained: "No, no, no... Sir, you know I didn't mean that. I just complained casually, okay, I was a bit mean. But now there is a fourth-level knight and a third-level knight." A third-level professional is approaching us quickly, what should we do?"

A look of eagerness for war appeared on Knight Goken's face. He handed the girl he was holding in his right hand to his adjutant and threw the giant ax upwards with his left hand. "kill!"

"Let the troops prepare for artillery bombardment, and the cavalry troops be ready to continue the pursuit if the opponent flees."

"Consultant Kriska Griffiths, can you use magic to call up the strong wind and attack the opponent? It doesn't need to cause much damage, it just needs to affect their line of sight."

Next to him, there was a witch wearing a black coat and black gloves riding a black horse. Her name was Chrisja Griffiths.

Kristina Griffiths is the court advisor of the Mangoya Kingdom, directly serving the king, and also one of the king's experts in magic. After all, there have been many witches who tried to control the king with magic such as ecstasy potions. Therefore, there must be some magic experts in the king's court to prevent such bad things from happening.

Kristina Griffiths said to the Gorken Knight: "I am better at curse magic, such as turning people into frogs, maggots, etc., but if you ask me to blow up a strong wind that can cover four people, you can't do it. Difficult. But I advise you to be more cautious, because a high-level professional who suddenly approaches may not be an enemy, especially if the opponent is a member of the church."

The Koken knight turned to look at her, and was about to speak when he suddenly saw a vulture hovering above their heads.

The Hearthstone Witch said to them: "Stop it. Those are the church's supporters, not enemies."

"Don't mistake the target of the attack!"

The Hearthstone Witch fell to the ground in an instant, like a black line hitting the ground in a straight line. The moment she hit the ground, she transformed into a human form again.

She said to the Gorken Knight: "Are you the commander of this unit? Let them stop preparing to attack."

The Korkan knight raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Are you a witch next to His Highness? The fourth level... You said, the church directly supports His Highness' four high-level professionals?"

The adjutant shook his head repeatedly. "The Church rarely does this kind of thing. Let alone four high-level professionals, it is very difficult for the Church to support a second-level professional. Even our King cannot let the Church Support him."

Everyone present knows why.

Because what matters is not the professionals who support it, but the attitude of the church.

Everyone can know that if the church supports the four professionals of Ivita, the attitude behind it is not ordinary, and the thoughts hidden in it are definitely not as simple as they appear on the surface.

Knight Goken first scolded the rude adjutant, and at the same time he thought of something.

Before, he had heard from senior officials in the Mango Ya court that Pope Innocent III had asked the monarchs of various countries for the No. 13 Holy War, asking them to support this sacred cause for the God of All Things. And the hard work of war.

As a result, it was perfunctory by the monarchs of other countries.

I heard that the Pope is very dissatisfied with this, especially the two monarchs of the Kingdom of Alsace and the Holy Empire, the traditional allies of the Church, and the Duchy of Montenegro, the traditional semi-dependent state of the Church, and even the Holy Duchy of Brittany. .

The Pope once said: 'It is the head of the God of All Things and the Church who chooses the king who is above the people, not the king who chooses the Church and the God of All Things.If the princes are unwilling to contribute to the holy cause, he only needs to choose a king from among the poor but pious shepherds. '

The Gorken Knight swallowed.

Could it be said that now the Pope and the Church have finally made a choice?

Knight Gaoken shook his head, no, no, he shouldn't think nonsense, this might be just ordinary assistance from the church.

Knight Goken said to his adjutant: "Let our little cubs stay out of trouble and come with me into His Highness's castle."

……

On the other hand, the good-looking priest who had met Ivita once before, now has a good feeling for Ivita who deliberately humbles him, so he kept bragging to his colleagues on the road about Ivita's respect for the sacred cause and his humility and courtesy .

The fourth-level holy knight, Knight Robinson is a very stable and introverted person. He glanced at the barely passable castle in front of him and said, "As a new earl, I really don't have a chance to build a castle that suits my status. But it doesn’t matter, as long as you are pious to God, even a thatched house can be resplendent.”

"What matters is not material things, but the heart."

The third-level ranger, Locke Ranger, said: "It seems that there are troops staying ahead. It looks very well-equipped."

The good-faced priest thought about it. "I remembered, the day I visited Lord Ivita, I also noticed that there are also envoys from the Kingdom of Mangoya here."

Master Archer asked strangely: "Mangoya Kingdom? They are very well informed."

The good-looking priest stared at him. "The Mango Tooth Kingdom and the Pearl Tooth Kingdom are both frontline countries facing the heretics. The headquarters of the Inquisition. You'd better not say such things in front of those people from the Mango Tooth Kingdom, my friend. Otherwise, I don't know. They’ll do something.”

Knight Robinson said in a low but steady voice: "In the magical Black Forest, the two countries are the most sensitive and devout areas. Ding, you may not know these things well, so I want to remind you."

Master Marksman Din shrugged. "I didn't expect that Mr. Ivita could get so much help. I really underestimated him before. It seems that this job is not as dangerous as I thought before."

Knight Robinson said: "If you want to completely occupy Cross Island, you must have an army of about 1 people. The army does not need to be too elite, but it needs at least a certain number. Only by stationing troops in every key city and town can it be regarded as officially controlling Cross Island. island."

"That Mr. Ivita may not be able to have so many troops. So the future will still be difficult. Let's go, enter the castle, and meet that lord."

……

In the hall of Viscount Joseph's castle, the rectangular dining table is filled with sumptuous delicacies, from roast goose to roast lamb, roast suckling pig, as well as delicious caviar, foie gras and tender smoked herring, as well as... A hot soup made with vegetables and cream.

More than 20 servants in white dresses walked around the dining table, passing dishes and filling wine glasses to Ivetta, Wilson, the Witch of Hearthstone, the Grand Knight of Iron Mountain, and the distinguished guests who had just entered the castle.

Ivita sat on the main seat without moving a word, but looked at the table full of high-level professionals with a smile.

The senior professionals of the Mangoya Kingdom and the church are also secretly observing Ivita's character and behavior.

To be respected is to be seen by everyone in every move. Some people try to find his hobbies to please him, and some people try to observe his likes and dislikes to adjust his own words and deeds.

Knight Robinson nodded secretly to Ivita. From the cordial communication between Ivita and the servants, it can be known that Ivita is not the kind of eccentric lord.

Nothing else, but the character can not be too weird.

Otherwise, it will be difficult for them to get along next.

Shaer, the daughter of the high-ranking knight of Gaoken, suddenly said to Ivita: "Big brother, are you the lord that Lord Antioch mentioned? Why do you look so young, so young that you seem to be my brother? Not the majestic lord."

Knight Goken scolded her: "Watch the tone of your words."

Of course, he didn't apologize to Ivita. He was a fourth-level professional. He was always a guest and honored guest everywhere, and he didn't need to please a count.

It's not that he despises Ivita, it's just that he can get along with Ivita on a relatively equal footing.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Ivita knew that he had to speak, not because he was forced, but because everyone had just gotten along with each other, so he had to show the necessary tolerance, so as to win over people's hearts.

Ivita smiled and said, "No problem. It's nothing."

At the banquet, everyone also showed some smiles.

Ivita brought some lightness to this slightly serious atmosphere.

Knight Goken stood up, glanced at Knight Robinson, and then said to Ivita: "Mr. Ivita, my Majesty asked me to tell you that the Alsatian family will never give up on their relatives. For the cause of our family..." He took a sip of wine, and when he thought of his wife who died tragically at the hands of the Franks, he roared like a beast. "Cheers to our family's business."

Ivita was stunned for a moment, and then guessed something. "I heard that Mr. Goken's wife is my cousin, so we are a family."

"The family doesn't speak two languages."

"If given the chance, I will make our enemies pay with blood."

When Knight Goken turned his head, tears seemed to appear in his eyes. Every time he mentioned his deceased wife, he would be very sad.

Hearing this, Knight Robinson and the people from the Holy See looked at each other in horror.

Ivita is actually a member of the Alsatian family.

Did General Antioch know this?

No, he must know.

Cavalier Robinson quickly regained his composure. For him, he just needs to do his own thing well. No matter what Iveta's identity is, he will assist Iveta.

Meanwhile, the good-faced priest and ranger master beside him were having a heated discussion.

Only now did they discover that General Antioch might want them to help Ivita conquer not only Cross Island, but a larger territory.
