Continental Warriors Yoo Ma

Among the seven imams, there is an old man named Hamuda, who is the leader of the barber Meniscus Temple.When he saw that the sacred place had been vandalized by the Crusaders, he was furious and demanded that this desecration be stopped immediately.

"The Barber's Moon Temple" is actually just a common name. This building, which was chosen by Yo-Fo Ma as the core of the first line of defense, is officially named "Sidi Sa Abu Dhavia".It used to be the mausoleum of a Mulholland saint, Abu Zama al-Baraoi, and later developed into a famous religious site.Because it also provides other rare haircut services in Zavia, it is also known as the Barber Meniscus Temple.

Abu Zama al-Baraoui was no ordinary saint, he was once a companion of the famous Prophet Mulholland.He himself kept three prophetic beards.According to the standards of the Seven Holy Religion, this is a holy relic of the same level as the shroud, the skull, and the holy foreskin.

Also because it is said that there are three prophetic beards buried in the tomb of Baraui, this Zavia, together with the Sanmen Meniscus Temple and the Kairouwan Great Meniscus Temple, has become the most famous three meniscus in this holy city. One of the temples.

Such a holy place, at this time, was made a mess by the pagans. Although the room where the saint's tomb was placed was still in good condition, it still made the Imams very angry.The righteousness in his heart to fight against the evil gods was immediately replaced by the deep-rooted hatred of the two major religions.

"People of the true God, do you just see pagans desecrating holy places like this? The place where saints rest, a precious place where we worship, chant, study, communicate, and hold celebrations on weekdays, is now being vandalized!" Raised arms and shouted.

As a highly respected Imam, Hammuda's appeal is still very strong.

When the citizens of Kairouan who were bowing their heads and working heard his call, they put down their work and gathered around several imams.

"The gold you earn by destroying the Holy Land is sinful and dirty. Don't give up your faith for the sake of your immediate interests, or you will go to hell after death! Defend our Holy Land, and the true God Ankabal will bless you. You ascend to the kingdom of heaven..."

Under the words of Imam Hamuda's words of intimidation and persuasion, gradually some people in Kairouan believed his rhetoric.

A tall man took out a few silver coins he had received from his arms, threw it to the ground angrily, spat, and then stood beside the imams with a pickaxe, glared at the Crusaders and said: "I don't want that filthy money from Duke Barr! He broke his promise and desecrated the Holy Land of Mulholland. He is the enemy!"

Someone took the lead, and soon hundreds of men with iron tools gathered around the seven imams.

At this time, Francois had just arrived at the Meniscus Temple.Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, he decisively mobilized his own guards.

Knights in full plate armor surrounded the seven imams and the civilians they had instigated, and there were crossbowmen on the surrounding roofs.As long as Francois gives an order, all these troubles can be solved physically.

But Hamouda was not panicking.

Although they seem to have a huge disadvantage in weapons and equipment, the seven high-level magic users of the Mulholland sect, although they are not as powerful as superhumans, can be used in a short period of time through various Divine magic turns ordinary laborers with tools such as pickaxes, hammers, shovels, etc., into powerful warriors with fighting power no less than that of knights.

Moreover, in the event of bloodshed, the rest of the people watching will surely take their side.

Of course, the imams were not determined to meet the Crusaders.They put on this desperate gesture at this time, in order to strive for more interests.

Francois also knew that at this critical moment when he was about to face the servants of the evil god, he had to deal with the pagan opponents in front of him more carefully.

After temporarily controlling the situation, he asked, "Saracens, what are your requirements?"

"Frankian, who are you, and can you make a decision?" asked the leader of the seven Imams, Imam Hasid of the Great Crescent Temple in Kairouan.

"Saracens" and "Franks" both originated from the Crusades, when the two religious groups called each other in general terms, with the meaning of belittling each other.

It can be seen from these two titles that the two sides facing each other at this time have a very bad impression of each other.

But no matter how they look at each other and hate each other, they can't rashly confront each other at this juncture.Francois could only endure disgust and introduce himself.

Hasid nodded and said, "Since you are a noble after the two dukes, your words should have some weight in the Crusaders. We now formally ask you to stop the savage destruction of the holy places in Kairouan City. Behavior!"

"In order to deal with the coming army of corrupt evil gods, we must build a solid position, and these acts of sabotage are necessary." Although Francois did not agree with Mayoufu's tactics, he still chose to maintain the decision of the Supreme Commander.

"Stupid! In each of these historic places lies a saint of Mulholland. Protecting the integrity of temples and Zavia will allow your soldiers to gain the blessing of the saint in wartime. That kind of Great power is the best weapon to defeat the evil god! But now, you have destroyed this power with your own hands!"

Francois sneered: "I've never heard that Saint Mulholland will bless the Seven Saints. I believe in the long sword and cannon in my hand!"

Seeing that Francois was unshakable, Hasid was also anxious.

There are many crescent moon temples in Kairouan city and Zavia, not only religious places, but also the spiritual sustenance of Mulholland believers, but also the center of citizens' secular life.When these buildings were destroyed, the material basis of the Imams' rule was destroyed.

Concerning personal interests, Hasid and others must defend them with all their might.

"Since I can't persuade you, a barbarian, then I demand to meet Duke Baer immediately!"

"Duke Baer is not available now. Unless there is a major change, he will not come forward to solve such a small problem. Besides, in order to build a strong position, the order to destroy any building is given by the Duke of Baal himself, and it is useless for you to find him. !"

Although François opened his mouth to several imams and was about to meet Yoo-fu Ma, he was very unhappy with his attitude of not taking himself as a person, but he did not lie.

In the previous siege of Kairouan, Ma Youfu was indeed merciful and did not launch a destructive attack on this historic holy city out of the need for future governance.

But at this time, in the face of the great threat of the corrupted evil spirits, he will no longer take care of these stubborn Mulholland believers.It's all about killing that terrifying Keeper.

After giving this order, Yoof Ma began to retreat to make key magic props that could decide the outcome of the war, and handed over various military affairs to Philip III and François.At this time, it is basically impossible for several imams to negotiate with Yoof Ma.

Seeing that François had no intention of backing down, Hasid was heartbroken, and decided to let these crusaders see blood. After realizing their own strength, let's talk about how to reasonably maintain the due rights of Mulholland believers. .

Just when the conflict between the two sides was about to break out, a warning horn suddenly sounded on the city wall not far away.A sentinel shouted: "The enemy is coming, there is a huge army, appearing in the north!"

Chapter 540

When Francois heard the news, he was so terrified that he thought that the evil god's army had already killed him.

"Aren't those corrupt servants no longer understandable creatures that don't need rest and food, and can march around the clock?" Francois thought to himself.

From the holy city of Kairouan to Tunisia, the straight-line distance is more than [-] kilometers. How could the enemy arrive so quickly?

When François came to the city wall in fright, and after seeing the situation, he almost couldn't help slapping the sentinel who had shouted before.

There was indeed an "army" of unknown number arriving at the north of Kairouan City. Judging from the sky-high dust they raised as they marched, there should be quite a few.

However, these people are not the kind described by Duke Baer, ​​with a pair of large pincers and strangely shaped evil god minions, but just ordinary people.And looking at their clothes, and the flag they played, it seemed to be a Tunisian army.

Soon, a messenger with a white flag was sent from the opponent's team to the city of Kairouan to communicate with the defenders.

Only then did François know that the team was led by the Sultan of Tunisia and his nephew and heir. The team also included a group of Tunisian dignitaries and wealthy businessmen, as well as a large number of followers who escaped from Tunisia and joined the army along the way. The total number of ordinary people exceeds 1.

When Francoise was communicating with the messengers under the city, several imams also climbed up the city wall to see the situation outside.

"Is that Prince Ziad, and the grandson of Arum?" Hamuda asked in confusion.

"It seems that you don't pay much attention to the changes in the outside world, Brother Hamouda. His Highness Ziad has become the new sultan." Hasid said, wiping his beard, with a smile on his face, "Now, our strength has been obtained. Greatly enhanced, you can negotiate better with the Crusaders and safeguard your own interests.”

This sudden appearance of the team suddenly broke the atmosphere of tension in the city.

The Imams believed that they had received strong support and were no longer alone. They had bargaining chips in their hands to negotiate with the Crusaders, and they did not need to take desperate risks.

And Francois breathed a sigh of relief.

This huge team of more than [-] people arrived in Kairouan. Ma Youfu must not be able to retreat, and he has to personally deal with this matter.

Only the supreme leader of the Crusaders, and those with a little political sensitivity, who can be on an equal footing with the Sudanese of Tunisia, will not take "arrogance" of privately meeting the Sudanese.

When Youfu Ma appears, François will report the troubles caused by the imams, and he will be able to successfully cast the blame without taking responsibility.

The two sides have their own thoughts, but they have a tacit understanding and put aside the things that were almost going to be merged before, and each is busy with each other.

And Yoo Ma, who was working hard in the makeshift magic workshop, had no choice but to put down his work immediately after learning the news, and went to receive Ziad's uncle and nephew.

At noon, Ma Youfu held a simple banquet to welcome the team that escaped from Tunisia.

The seven imams, who had always been uncooperative with the Crusades, were rarely present at the banquet.However, their idea was to find an opportunity to expose the "atrocities" carried out by the Crusaders on Kairouan City, and to persuade Ziad and Arum to side with them.

Although the new sultan brought less than 1 combat-capable soldiers out of the [-]-strong team that led out of Tunisia, this is still a force that should not be underestimated.If Ma Youfu wants to have a better chance of winning in the subsequent battle with the servants of the evil god, he has to find a way to win over the Tunisians.

And the imams can use this to negotiate and seek more benefits, and even after the war, fight for the treatment of a "free city" for Kairouan, by the local forces-that is, the families behind these imams, Have a high degree of autonomy.

However, although the imams headed by Hasid played well, they never thought that the banquet had just begun, and His Highness the Sultan, whom they had placed high hopes on, came directly with twenty votes!

I saw Ziad drank the date palm wine in one gulp, then stood up, walked to Yofu Ma, bowed respectfully, and said, "Merciful, magnanimous, and most chivalrous, Yofu Ma. I am Tunisia. Sultan Ziad, I am willing to submit to you and recognize you as the legitimate ruler of this land. As long as you agree, you can recover the city of Tunisia and save the people who have been ravaged by demons..."

Arum, who was sitting in the same seat with Ziad, was stunned when he saw that his uncle didn't talk about martial arts so much.

Afterwards, not to be outdone, he stood up, walked to Yo-Fu Ma, rubbed his chest and bowed in greeting: "My lord, I am the grandson of the former Tunisian sultan and the most orthodox heir to the Hafs dynasty. As the next Tunisian sultan, I am the most orthodox heir. , I and my supporters also believe that you are the most suitable ruler of this land, and only you are qualified to protect innocent people from the threat of evil gods. I am willing to swear allegiance to you..."

From Valentina, Ma Youfu had a detailed understanding of the political situation in Tunisia. He knew that after the death of the predecessor Sultan Aziz II, there was another situation where the fourth uncle and the nephew were fighting for power.

It's just that compared to the old Zhu family's Jing Nan drama, what happened in the city of Tunisia is at best a bug version.

The uncle and nephew were not fighting for the position of sultan, but the power to betray the country to the crusaders in the future.

However, even if it was known that these Tunisian nobles had completely lost their will to resist after losing the second battle of Zama, they waited for the Crusaders to appear outside the city of Tunisia, and then surrendered.But at this time, Ziad and Arum's enthusiasm for betraying the country still surprised Ma Youfu.

There may be remnants of Tunisian patriots who disdain the weak faces of the two supreme rulers, but for Yoof Ma, this is great news.

Although the refugee team from Tunis City was mixed with a large number of civilians, and the combat effectiveness of the army was also weak, it was still very valuable.

This team provided the Crusaders with a valuable labor force to build up their defenses in a limited time.Moreover, among the Tunisian ruling class who fled with Sudan, there were many spellcasters and many senior religious personnel.This would greatly enhance the power of the Crusaders in terms of magic.

Now that Sultan's uncle and nephew had already laid down like a corgi showing their belly, Yoo Ma had to scratch it to show his acceptance of the two people's surrender.

He stood up, took the hands of his uncle and nephew affectionately, and let them sit beside him.

In Mulholland culture, it is normal behavior for men to hold hands or even interlock their fingers to express pure brotherly friendship.After all, people don't have the glorious tradition of playing with little boys in the Seven Holy Religion. If they don't see two knights riding together, they will sensitively think of some blasphemous behavior. The intimacy between men is very fair.

Ma Youfu's actions just follow the allusion of Liu Da'er and Guan Erzhangsan sleeping on their feet, using physical contact to show a close attitude.

This trick works well.Sultan's uncle and nephew were flattered and sat on both sides of Yoof Ma, and soon the host and guests enjoyed themselves together, forming an unbreakable alliance against the evil spirits.

The other guests at the banquet had their own feelings about how easily Yof Ma had subdued the remnants of the Tunisian Sultan and his representatives.

Philip III, who has seen a series of salacious operations by his prospective son-in-law, is not surprised by this, but he is just helping to liven up the atmosphere of the banquet as an atmosphere team.

With the service of these Mulholland believers, are you still worried that you can't defeat those evil gods?At that time, he will not only be able to return to Europe as the conqueror of the Maghreb, but also as the destroyer of the evil god and the defender of human civilization.Wouldn't it be nice to invite a few more artists, painters, poets and novelists, all of them to create works of art famous for their great achievements?

François, who had never followed Youf Ma's experience before, was in a state of shock at this time.

He originally thought that the Crusaders, facing the pressure of a powerful enemy, encountered the Tunisian army that was still at war, and even if the two sides did not immediately confront each other, they would have to have a good fight and make enough exchange of interests. Able to join hands against the enemy.

Who knew that the new Tunisian Sultan surrendered so easily!

"Is it because the Tunisians are too weak and stupid, or is the Duke of Barr's strategy and planning ahead of time, which led to today's results?" Francois suddenly felt that the Seris had an unfathomable feeling.

Compared to François who was just puzzled, several imams were stunned when they saw that the dignified Sultan of Tunisia was so weak to a heretic and an intruder, without a trace of arrogance.

Where is the glory of the Hafs dynasty?

Where is the piety of Mulholland believers?

Halfway through the banquet, the seven imams left with ashen faces.

"What do we do now?" Hamouda asked in a low voice.

The foreign aid, which had high hopes, has now directly joined the Crusaders. This blow is really too big.Because Ziad is his own who also believes in Mulhollandism, and he is also a sultan with a strong appeal.He had already chosen to cooperate with Yoof Ma, so what did he do to persuade the ordinary people to continue fighting against the Crusaders?

Hasid stroked his beard and pondered for a long time before he said: "Those corrupt and greedy nobles have no hope. Just look at the way Ziad and Arum drank heavily at the banquet, you can see that they have long forgotten the prophet's teachings! But Those simple ordinary people, as well as the middle- and lower-level soldiers, still have the hope of winning over to our side."

The other Imams nodded.

After inquiring, they learned that the soldiers and civilians of the fleeing team were arranged by the Crusaders in several crescent moon temples in the city, and the largest number of people settled in the large crescent moon temple in Kairouwan.

"This is an opportunity!" As the worship leader of the Great Crescent Moon Temple in Kairouwan, Hasid's eyes suddenly lit up.

Chapter 540 Six Holy City Debates

"I am familiar with every grass and every tree in that temple. I am the spokesperson of the true god there. As long as I am in that crescent moon temple, I can get the favor of Ankabal. With the blessing of holy power, I will definitely be able to persuade ordinary people. People abandon Ziad and follow us!"

Hasid raised his arms and shouted, "Let's go, let's go to Kairouwan Great Crescent Moon Temple!"
