- Chapter 781 - The clash between the Crusader Knights and the Wolf Knights
“Get your equipment and prepare your mounts, we are about to go down the mountain.”
Leon led dozens of Texas cowboys. These fierce light cavalry had performed well in previous battles and were highly respected by Charlie and his party.
“Where to go?”
“Of course it’s reconnaissance. We have to find out how many people, how many guns, and how many land cruisers the enemy has – aren’t you a member of Mr. Lothar’s family? Don’t you even have this kind of war experience?”
“If you don’t explain clearly, I won’t know what to do!”
Charlie was speechless. Although the land craft was still a strange thing in his eyes, after these days, he had understood the combat style of this era, and by analogy, he understood firearms as more powerful crossbows.
Charlie and several medieval cavalrymen who had been transferred to the Templar Knights and had mastered the Seed of Holy Glory got on their mounts one after another, and the group of people flew across the steel suspension bridge that connected the mountain city to the outside world.
“Mr. Leon, don’t we say a prayer first?”
Baron Charlie reminded: “Before setting off for the expedition.”
“Pray? To whom?”
Leon felt a little confused. They were wolves. Could they be praying to Romulus?
“Of course Heavenly Father!”
Baron Charlie reminded seriously: “He can protect us and survive in the hail of bullets.”
Leon frowned and said: “Listen, Mr. Baron, I think humans are like machines, not that different from other mammals, so I never believe in God creating humans.”
To deny that God created man is to deny the Bible, not to mention other church ideals.
Baron Charlie was a little puzzled: “How do you know?”
“I opened it with my own hands. Don’t look at me like that. Have you never killed anyone?”
Baron Charlie said contemptuously: “I have killed them, but I will not go out of my way to open their body cavities and look at them. Even if I am sometimes affected by the dragon’s blood, I will not deliberately desecrate the corpses of the deceased. This is a sin!”
“But only in this way, death will be more meaningful. You have not experienced the Black Death and do not understand the horror of the disease. Holy light cannot save the epidemic patients. God, the True Father… No one can be exempted from the world. Only by understanding the structure of the human body, Only then can we find a way to eliminate the disease.”
Leon explained: “Do you remember those field doctors when we went to the battlefield? Without them, how many wounded people do you think would survive? This is the meaning of anatomy.”
Baron Charlie frowned. Bishop Uldin seemed to have put forward a similar concept: “You people’s physical fitness is different from ordinary people. This proves nothing. Moreover, the monks of our order are very good at using herbal medicine to treat Healing wounds, Bishop Uldin even cured His Majesty Baldwin of leprosy.”
Leon felt that he was completely talking to a cow: “Forget it. Do you know Darwin?”
“who is he?”
“A scientific academician of Big Ben, his ideas are known for their deviant ideas. When he was still alive, there were many debates in London theological circles because of his ideas. Many conservative clergy threatened to kidnap him. Burned at the stake, but I think what he said makes sense.”
Baron Charlie looked suspicious: “What did he say?”
“Do humans and monkeys have a common ancestor?”
“Fart, you were born from a monkey.”
Charlie dismissed this: “This is the second funniest joke I’ve heard since I came to the New World.”
The first funny thing is “the world is a ball”. If that were the case, why wouldn’t people fall into it?
“You unbelievers who talk nonsense will go to hell after death.”
The Baron felt pity for these ignorant “future people”.
“Texans are mostly unbelievers. What, you still work as a missionary part-time?”
Leon felt dumbfounded. It is not that there are no churches in Texas. There are Baptists, Wesleyans, and even traditional Catholics. However, in Texas, the church power has been completely secularized and has become the host of weddings and funerals. Marry, the department of festive events.
“I don’t have the ability.”
He didn’t understand why the Holy Son asked them to help a group of unbelievers: “If Bishop Uldin was here, he would definitely be able to convince you to convert to the right faith.”
“In fact, it is useless for the bishop you admire. After listening to your words, we have actually decided to convert.”
Everyone in Leon smiled and crossed themselves on their chests: “Hallelujah, may Heavenly Father bless us, win the battle, and defeat the heretical demons of the British!”
This slogan obviously fits the aesthetics in Baron Charlie’s mind. He praised “Hallelujah” and followed the group of Texas cowboys.
Doing as the Romans do, Lothar’s cavalry have now taken off their heavy armors. They can’t stop the enemy’s bullets anyway. Although they can reduce the damage caused by fragments, stray bullets and low-power bullets, their heavy weight It is no longer cost-effective.
They now use sabers and short-handled lances to fight, and some grenades are hung on their saddle bags, but they are obviously not very accustomed to this new way of fighting.
As for firearms, although it is easy to get started with them, mastering the “mounting and shooting skills” of the Texans cannot be achieved in just a few days.
On the tower of Wolfsburg.
“How do you feel here?”
Lothar reached out and patted Elamo, an old friend, on the shoulder: “I heard that you have been getting along quite well with the Texans recently.”
Elmer, who was wiping his gun, was stunned for a moment and smiled awkwardly: “Indeed, boss. I like it here. You know, I am a half-wolf. Although I was selected into the guards by the lady, the Saluzzo family is about bloodline after all.”
As he spoke, the smile on his face gradually faded: “It’s different here. Ordinary people will not look down on the wolf with ears and tails, or avoid them in fear. Purebloods will not spit at half-bloods with a gloomy face. No one is born inferior. I really like it here.”
Texas is not the Garden of Eden, so there are naturally class divisions. Many key positions have invisible thresholds. Non-wolves, or even non-Basilicata people, cannot serve, but generally being able to treat them equally is already a beacon of democracy in this era.
“If you like it, stay here. I’ll tell the young lady for you. Anyway, someone has to stay in the New World. As a messenger for both sides, the Saluzzo family also has industries to invest in Texas.”
“Forget it.”
Although he was a little tempted, Elemer shook his head: “The young lady has been kind to me, and I still want to stay with her. In fact, the situation of the Saluzzo family is not very good now, and the young lady has been worried over the years.”
“Tell me more about it?”
“There’s nothing to say. It’s just that the wolf lord has stepped up the integration of the southern wolf tribe and has not increased the interference in the north. However, the gunpowder smell of the two neighboring big countries is getting stronger and stronger. Once a fight breaks out, the Northern Apennines is likely to become a battlefield. Although many tribesmen want to fight to the death with humans to defend the wolf tribe’s homeland, I don’t think there is even a chance of winning.”
“How can claws defeat guns? All the wolves combined are only ten Ten thousand people came out, but any of the great powers can easily raise a million troops. “
Losa smiled and said: “Times have changed.”
“Yes, times have changed. The wolf tribe can no longer rule the Apennine Peninsula. Their people in Basilicata are very smart. In the past, people often thought that Chief Giuliano had lost his wealthy ancestral land and ran to the New World, a poor and remote place, and he was throwing away watermelons to pick up sesame seeds, but now it seems that he is still foresighted. “
Losa smiled: “How much do you think this way among the old wolf tribe?”
Elemo was about to speak when he heard a crisp female voice suddenly sounded: “Shut up, this guy is trying to trick you!”
Losa looked at Valentina with some embarrassment, and chuckled: “How can it be called trickery? If it comes to cooperation, your Saluzzo family is definitely more trustworthy. I just think that Texas is big and can accommodate more investment. “
