Chapter 595: Charge!

Among the three major knight orders of the Holy See in the Vatican, the Knights of St. John was the first to be established, commonly known as the Knights of the Hospital.It has continued to this day and is known as the Knights of Malta, and most of its members are Italian knights.The second one established was the Knights Templar, which was the most prominent and powerful knights during the Crusades, but it also ended up the worst, and its members were basically French knights.The last one established was the Teutonic Knights. Its members were all German nobles. The Teutonic Knights did not have any outstanding performance in Jerusalem, but it returned to Europe later, leaving a legacy in the history of German Eastern colonization. Make a heavy stroke.

Because Catholicism has spread more widely in Europe, the members of the three major knight orders also have the meaning of inheriting the ancient times.Among the three major knight orders, the countries of the members are also clearly divided.The main force of the St. John's Knights are basically Italians, and there are a few people from other countries.The other two major knight orders were also formed according to their traditional nationalities.

The knights dispatched by the Holy See of the Vatican this time are the Knights of the Hospitaller, also known as the Knights of St. John!

The full name of the Knights Hospitaller is the Knights Hospitaller of St. John of Jerusalem, also known as the Knights of St. John. It was founded in 1099.It was originally established by the French nobleman Gerard and several companions in a hospital near the Church of St. John the Baptist in Jerusalem, with the main purpose of caring for the wounded and pilgrims.

The slogan of the Hospital Knights is "Guard the Faith, Help Suffering". The initial logo of the Hospital Knights was a white octagonal cross on a black background. Known as the "Maltese Cross".

At the beginning of the 14th century, under the pressure of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Knights had to move to Rhodes in the eastern Mediterranean in 1310. In 1530, Holy Roman Emperor Charles V agreed to hand over the island of Malta and the nearby island of Gozo to the Order of the Good Church.As a result, the Knights established their own country on the island of Malta, officially known as the "Knights of Malta".

The Turks were apparently disturbed by the Knights' comeback, and in 1565 the Turks sent a large army to attack Malta.The beginning of this great war was very similar to the previous one in Rhodes Island: the Knights were struggling, most of the cities were destroyed, and half of the members of the Knights died in battle.Just when the Knights were about to lose their hold, a support army came from Spain, and the situation on the battlefield suddenly reversed. The Turkish army retreated in a panic, with a loss of more than 3 people.

This victory brought peace to the Knights of Malta for a period of time. In 1571, the Turks thought that the navy had almost developed, and they raised troops again in an attempt to destroy the Knights.But this time they suffered a worse defeat: before reaching Malta, they encountered the Spanish Armada at sea, and almost all the Turkish fleet was sunk or captured.Since then, the Kingdom of the Knights of Malta has entered its heyday, and warships marked with the Maltese Octagonal Cross on their sails are rampant in the Mediterranean Sea.

The rule of the Knights on the island of Malta lasted until the 18th century. On June 1798, 6, Napoleon forced the Knights of the Hospital to surrender and occupied the island of Malta. The churches and monasteries of the Knights on the island were looted by the French army.Most of the members of the Order went to Russia, where they were granted asylum by the Russian Tsar Paul I, who was elected by the Order as the new Grand Master.

After leaving the island of Malta, the Order lost its territories, but survived as an organization. In 1834, the Knights rebuilt their headquarters in Rome and finally stabilized again.The military mission of the Knights has ended, and thereafter they are mainly engaged in charity.Today, the Knights of Malta is still an observer organization of the United Nations. Its headquarters is in Rome and enjoys diplomatic powers, but the sovereignty of the Malta Building still belongs to Italy, not the Knights of Malta.

After the religious revolution, the Knights Hospitaller of the Protestant countries headed by Germany separated from the headquarters of the Knights, but still maintained the title of the Knights of St. John.The Catholic Knights of Malta are the direct successors of the Knights Hospitaller.

The three major knight orders have their own development history, and the hospital knights are no exception.Don't think that the words Hospitalier Order don't sound very nice, but for the Holy See of the Vatican, it represents an alternative inheritance of belief in God.Moreover, the Knights of the Hospital is expressed in English, so it is not so unpleasant to read.

This kind of feeling is like William and Peter with bad names in the West, which are probably similar to Goudan and Xiao Ming in China.Everyone has a bad street name, but which name do you think sounds good?

The Knights Hospitaller has a glorious history, and even now it is recognized by the United Nations.Its influence on the European people is also very broad and far-reaching.In the Holy See of the Vatican, the Knights Hospitaller has super fighting ability.As one of the main forces of the three major knight orders of the Vatican Holy See, they have played a huge role in previous holy wars.

And this time, they are also confident that they can still add a stronger stroke to their honor book.

"It seems that this is a partial conflict between the two Holy Sees. I don't know which family the Dark Holy See will send out?"

When Qin Ming thought of seeing such a cold-weapon duel, his whole body became excited.The Vatican Holy See has dispatched the main force, and the Dark Holy See will definitely send out a few of the main seven major families.

The war drums had already been sounded, and the hymns echoed in the air. The knights of the Knights Hospitaller, with an aura that radiated the glory of God, pressed towards the camp of the Dark Holy See.

After the Hospital Knights were dispatched, the Dark Vatican also got the news very quickly.As if to show their fairness, the Dark Vatican dispatched the two main families, as well as some experts from other small families, to fight against the Knights Hospitaller.

"Aunt Yuhong said that in the previous battles between the two Holy Sees, neither of them had dispatched the main force. This time, the Holy See of the Vatican dispatched the Knights of the Hospital, one of the three major knight orders, and the Holy See of the Darkness also dispatched two major families. It seems that, The real showdown is about to take place!"

In the middle of the battlefield, Qin Ming watched the two Holy Sees squaring up, which made his adrenal glands surge even more.

The leader of the Knights of the Hospital is a handsome middle-aged Italian guy with the face of a Hollywood star, and his brows are full of heroism.He straddles a group of maroon horses, wearing black and white armor, and holding a sharp sword.I have to say that his image is still very cool. If he is brought out to Hollywood, he can directly star in a costume drama.

The head of the group lightly clamped the horse's belly, walked forward a few steps, and came to the front of the knight group.

"Pagans, God has endowed us with the most powerful power. If you want not to be purified, then cast yourself under the glory of God!"

He drew out his sharp sword and shouted loudly, his whole body had an inexplicable sense of holiness.It seems that he really carries the glory of God and possesses infinite power!

"Don't tell us these things here. Over the years, listening to you say such hypocritical things makes me almost throw up."

On the side of the Dark Holy See, a man wearing a black tuxedo, parted his hair in the middle, with a thin face, holding a gentleman's crutch in his hand, walked out of the team, and answered the head of the Knights Hospitaller with disdainful words.

The person in charge of this dark church is not dressed like that kind of gloomy and dark person, but more like a polite gentleman who goes to high-end banquets.

"The first person I purify is you! The patriarch of the Junker noble family, Bertrand!"

The head of the Knights of the Hospital named Tees raised his sword high, his face was sacred, his eyes revealed incomparable firmness, and he looked directly at Bertrand, the leader of the Junker noble family!This look seemed to have really turned into a sharp sword, directly piercing Bertrand's chest!

"Junker aristocratic family? This surname is notorious in Europe. I used to think that the Junker aristocratic family had become extinct with the end of World War II, but I didn't expect him to be one of the seven families in the Dark Holy See one."

Qin Ming, who was hiding in the dark, was also a little surprised when he heard the head of the Hospital Knights name the head of the dark church.

"How do you think the Dark Vatican exists? Isn't it formed by a powerful family like the Junker aristocratic family, which has ambitions that cannot be tolerated with others, and is suppressed by the self-proclaimed righteous side?"

It was Qin Ming who understood what little Boli said.The conflict between the Dark Holy See and the Vatican Holy See is not just because of differences in beliefs.More, because of interests.

If they have the same interests, it is hard to say that the two Holy Sees will join hands.

"Look, the battle has already begun. I will be a fighter general. It seems that the two Holy Sees don't like this."

Meanwhile, the battle has begun.They didn't send out powerful experts to fight first, but let their own people rush forward and use all their strength to destroy the opponent.

In fact, this also makes sense. Between the two Holy Sees, there is no such thing as surrendering and avoiding death.As long as people catch each other, there is only one end for the caught person, and that is death!

That being the case, there is no such thing as fighting against the morale of the opponent.Between the two Holy Sees, the word enmity can no longer be used to describe the hatred between the two.

The battle has already started at this moment.

"Follow God's footsteps and charge!"

Tees, the leader of the Knights Hospitaller, roared, then clamped his horse's belly forcefully, and rushed to the camp of the Dark Holy See at the head of the horse.Behind him, hundreds of cavalry followed closely behind him.They all looked determined and launched a charge as if they were dead!

"kill!"

The Dark Holy See also launched a charge. Although they did not have horses, they were not afraid of the opponent's cavalry charge.

As for the Dark Holy See, the ones rushing to the front are a group of extremely fast people.They are nimble and have strong limbs, as if a pack of wolves were charging at their prey.

'Brush brush'

The two Holy Sees finally collided together, and the shouts of killing climbed to the top in a short while.

"This is war!"

Seeing the battle between the two Holy Sees, Qin Ming's eyes became brighter.
