The bearded man sweeps the intestine once, then surprisingly calms his eyes and says.
“I am Philip de Lemmings of Lemmings. Who are you?”
Lemmings was a territory in the Kingdom of Veles, but there was no sense of belonging in an era where the National Guard was not established. The Kingdom did not speak, but introduced only its own territory.
Currently, the Crusaders, apart from the mass pilgrims like beggars, had 100 troops worth fighting in the Holy Land, and Philip had about 30 shares of them.
Because the Crusaders were a kind of coalition, and people of all races and regions gathered, they needed a leader to unite them, and Philip was like that.
Nevertheless, the insides did not rule over the Crusaders. Generally, the factions were divided, and Philip was the most influential of them all.
Albrecht said, looking at him boldly.
“I am the Knight of Northern Calterns, Albrecht von Hoenclatern. I have brought you the Holy Father. ”
Philipp looks at Albrecht, nodding once and looking at the man sitting on the floor.
“Hestein, get up. ”
A man named Hestein suddenly stumbles up and stands beside Philip.
Philip told Albrecht again:
“Apparently, I need a room for the Holy Father, but I'm going to have them tidy it up. ”
And then I looked back and I told people what to do. Immediately, people who looked like servants came, cleaned up the body and started tidying up the room.
Meanwhile, Randolph, Hermann and Cardinals arrive.
“Holy Father! ”
“Oh! You guys! ”
The Pope said Albrecht would protect him, but he was still afraid of the bloodshed, but I felt relieved when the cardinals came.
Philipp looks at the situation from time to time. Albrecht was standing guard in front of the Pope with his sword drawn and confronted the nobles.
Albrecht was not the Pope's advisor. I promised only to protect her. From now on, the Pope had to use his abilities.
The Pope said to the nobles who were still gathered inside the palace surrounded by cardinals.
“I thank you for organizing wealth and raising an army to restore the sanctuary. I'm tired today, so I'm going to rest, and I'm going to hold a service in the chapel in the morning, so I'd like everyone to attend. The people who were stationed in the Chapel want you to organize their seats. ”
Then he went into his room. The cardinals followed. The nobles had to clear out the real Chapel. Why would I do that?
Ramus' cathedral was indeed the Pope's house. Even though the landlord asked me to clean it up, they didn't seem to want to.
After all, since the Pope is a religious leader, he showed some examples earlier, but he didn't even give examples in his heart.
The nobles, who despise their king's words, couldn't keep up with the same Pope all the time.
Philip said,
“Clear the chapel. ”
I don't know what Philip is thinking, but he gave orders to the nobles, according to the Pope. Then the nobles cleared out the chapel.
And Philip said to Albrecht,
“Can you talk to me for a minute? ”
Albrecht nods. And I put the sword in the sword. Then Philip heads somewhere, and Albrecht tells Randolph and Herman to guard the Pope's chamber, and then he follows Philip.
The nobles were looking at Philip and Albrecht heading somewhere. The nobles were sensitive to a change in power plates. What kind of person is that? What the hell is going on?
Philip enters the other hallway and enters where he can see his room, and follows the two lords who followed him. Albrecht followed.
I looked into the room and there was a wooden cross hanging on the wall, and underneath the table were several candles with no lights on. Among them is a small horseman standing with the prophet Zairex holding his sword up. He seemed to be a hard believer in the cross.
Philip sits on a chair in front of the round table in the middle of the room.
“Sit down, you sit down. ”
Albrecht sits face Philip with his table between his legs.
“Once again, I am Philip de Lemmings of Lemmings. ”
“Knights of the northern Calterns, Albrecht von Hoenclatern. ”
Philipp looks at the other lords. Then people who had not introduced themselves before introduced themselves.
“I'm your brother, Boduine de Lemmings. ”
And the other lord said,
“I am Charles de Torz of Torz. ”
At the end of it, your man was silent for a while. The three men stare at Albrecht, and Albrecht glances at Philip with a steady eye.
This time, the Crusaders seemed to play separately, although the Middle East and the North were close to each other on the streets.
On the other hand, the kingdom of western Veles is a long way, so there are few tree-huggers, but they seem to cluster well around Philip.
Philip, Boduine and Charles were all participating in the cleanup of the territory and the gathering of the corpses.
Philip opens his mouth first.
“First of all, I want to thank you for bringing me the Holy Father. By the way, can you tell me how you brought the Holy Father here? ”
The question contained two things: It looked like they were just asking what route the Pope was on, but they were also asking what purpose Albrecht was bringing the Pope to.
“I was on my way to Ramus to join the Crusades in the name of the Holy Father. When I came, I saw the Holy Father being chased by the thugs and rescued him and brought him back to where he belongs. And I will protect you while I stay. ”
Albrecht emphasized ‘where you should be.' It was said that the nobles should not move the Crusaders around among themselves.
Whether the Pope establishes authority or not, the military must be organized with cohesion in order to wage war. To do that, I needed a little enthusiasm. Albrecht raised the Pope as a point of concern.
An army with no centrifugal points and no cohesion, no matter how many, called it a misnomer.
The Pope's predominant crusade brought in lords who had frostbite dreams. If the Pope is unable to act as a point of concern, the statue of the Lords' dreams will eventually appear as their own actions.
Then, even before arriving at the Eastern Continent, I was lucky to arrive at the Eastern Continent, and I could almost see the fire trampled by Amas.
Albrecht wanted the crusaders to take care of him. With his own army, like the Knights, I wanted to conquer cities and make them my own.
Because, in the memory of the Earth, religious wars were necessarily fought by countless massacres between each other.
You have to go and see for yourself, but to be a leader, whether you want to save lives or kill people, you have to hold the power with an army.
He had no money, and only two knights had to use the Pope's name or reputation to gain power. And at the same time, I needed to know how to work for the lords.
Philip nods in Albrecht's reply.
“You're right. No wonder the landlord comes home. I was just about to bring the Pope back to the gates of hydrogen. ”
Albrecht wondered what Philip was trying to get the Pope for. To use the Pope like yourself? Or are we looking in a room, devoted to the cross, out of pure respect for the Pope? Or is he trying to make the Pope an issue, too? I didn't know for a while.
Philip continued:
“Thank you again for bringing me the Holy Father. Also, you'll need a room in the cathedral to protect the Holy Father. I'll arrange it. Boduine, escort Lord Albrecht to his chambers near the Pope. ”
Philip nods, and then he wakes up and says,
“Follow me. I'll show you to your room. ”
Albrecht follows the boa? en. First of all, it was a conversation in a form that looked at each other without a long conversation. From now on, you will face each other even if you do not want to face them, and you will know who they are.
Beside the Pope's chamber, there was a room where the cardinals stayed, and next to it was the room of Albrecht. Albrecht was assigned a room that used to be used by many people by himself. I thought I could use it with Randolph and Herman.
It was also a kind of power to assign rooms where all sorts of human sellouts were swarming. In the cathedral, it seemed to be led by Philip.
Albrecht thought, eating rock-hard bread with wine in his room. Then I spent the night alternately guarding the Pope's chambers with Randolph and Herman.
Tomorrow morning, I thought there might be something at the morning service the Pope mentioned.
Suddenly, I remembered Conterini's trade method. Build trust and conduct mutually beneficial business.
The Pope and himself have built up trust. If so, how much would they have accumulated? And can we benefit from each other? You can't threaten me with a knife, so I thought I'd know by tomorrow morning.
* * *
Albrecht got up at dawn with Herman's help and was fully armed, with the exception of helmets and shields. He was wearing chained armor, a coat on top of it, a sword on his waist, a gauntlet and a grip, and he was sitting beside the bed, thinking about it.
In the morning, the Cardinal entered his room.
“Lord Albrecht, the Holy Father is calling you. ”
Albrecht gets up and follows Cardinal Siegfried with a lightning axe. When I entered the Pope's room, the Pope was already ready. Sitting on a chair, I hold hands on my knees, trembling.
I didn't look like much because I've struggled so far, but since I washed my hair and my beard, I looked much more shabby than before. Silk clothes still look shabby, but they look neat as possible.
The Pope walked into the room and looked at Albrecht. He didn't say anything, just smiled warmly.
The Pope suddenly remembered Albrecht's words, 'It's like seeing the face of God to love a man.’ I felt more trust in this word than he had in his power.
“Go to the Chapel. ”
Then I got up from my seat and went to the Chapel. Albrecht follows.
When I entered the Chapel, the sunrise sun was shining through the window.
It was a rather large chapel for building this time, but there were no chairs, and the lords, nobles, and knights stood densely.
There were all kinds of nobles, including blonde, black, redheaded, brown, young, middle-aged, old, and Tunic, armed and black.
Everyone was gathering and talking to each other, but the Pope and Albrecht were silent for a moment.
The Pope stands on the altar, gazing valiantly down at the nobles a little distance from Albrecht.
Albrecht has more eyes on the nobles than on the Pope. Yesterday, the nobles asked the people of the North and Central to find out what Albrecht was like. Everyone said unbelievable things.
Are you sure you've broken up the fully armed knight vertically? You won a hundred battles in Lloyd Beck City? You won a duel against a bannerman? Is any of this possible? Is that really possible?
Believe it or not, everyone feels overwhelmed by Albrecht's aura. And the Pope looked different because he was guarding the Pope.
Albrecht's blue eyes show some familiar faces among the nobles.
Some of the knights or lords he led in the war. They looked in awe at the great hero who had been seen again for a long time.
And in front of the nobles were Philip, Boduine, Charles, and Hestein.
Hestein is bruised in the shape of a palm of his neck, resting on a broken wrist, and his eyes are lowered as soon as Albrecht meets his eyes.
In addition to them, those in front of the nobles seem to be the ones who formed their own faction here.
“I'll start the prayer. ”
The Pope said that the worship began, he recited the works of Zairex in the Bible, and he preached to each other that if we became one, we could overcome anything.
The nobles who truly believed in the cross seemed to listen, but most of them seemed to listen dry.
Hestein frowns and looks away for no reason. He doesn't know why he's listening to this.
What surprised Albrecht a little was that Philip, Boduine and Charles were clapping their hands, closing their eyes tightly, eager to listen to the Pope. How hard I listened, I was ready to shed tears.
Albrecht looked at them, and when he arrived on the Eastern Continent, he felt that perhaps the Phillip horde was more dangerous than Hestein.
The Pope finished his sermon and chanted his prayers. Philip's hordes chanted it aloud. When he finished praying, the Pope summoned Albrecht.
“Sir Albrecht, step forward. ”
Albrecht goes to the Pope and kneels to the right. The nobles were just looking at something.
The Pope took the Holy oil from Cardinal, sprinkled it on Albrecht and blessed him.
“God fills your heart with courage, wisdom into your eyes, and will into your sword......”
The Pope blessed Albrecht for a while. And then I said,
“And I, in the name of God's representative, me, Pope Alexander, grant the knights of the northern Calterns, Albrecht von Hoenclatern, the authority to form knights. ”
The nobles in the intestine were confused. What do you mean, knights? What the hell is that?
But that wasn't the end.
“I also acknowledge that the land of the Eastern Continent, which was conquered in the name of me, Pope Alexander, Knight of the Northern Calterns, and Albrecht von Hoenclateur, will be a legitimate land. ”
The nobles who wanted to talk about the Knights suddenly got drunk when they heard about the Eastern Continent. Wasn't it just somebody who took over? Why would the Pope admit that?
While most nobles were confused about how to accept this situation, the smart ones were rolling their heads quickly, the hard-working people nodded their heads and thought it was a sensible word, and the merchants from the League of Merchants said, "The merchants have come."
Philip's flock was eager to devote its fiery allegiance to the Pope, and Hestein's expression rotted away.
“Get up.”
Albrecht woke up as the Pope spoke. Albrecht turns around and shouts at the nobles.
“Knights to fight with me, join the Knights! I will go to the eastern continent and destroy Amas and take back the Holy Land! ”
Then the Knights of the North and Central left, as if they had waited.
“I will fight alongside the great hero! ”
“I'll go with you! ”
Knights of the North and Central say they will fight alongside Albrecht for a while and ask you to join them. Nobles from other regions were confused as to what was going on.
Whether the nobles were confused or not, the Pope stepped down from the altar and began to leave the church. Albrecht escorts, and Philip's horde follows.
The nobles followed the Pope with the look of what this was supposed to be.
The Pope passed through the inner court and completely left the cathedral and went to where the pilgrims were. Philipp instructs the men to dispatch soldiers to block the public's approach.
The Pope suddenly began shouting at the people, but not as loud as Albrecht's battle cry.
“God knows you've come all this way to restore the Holy Land! If you fight for holy vengeance and die, you will all go to heaven! Avenge the Holy Land from a horde of vile pagans! God wants it!”
Unlike the delicate appearance you have shown Albrecht, the provocator's temperament seems to be multi-degraded. The crowds responded vigorously to the Pope's speech like clouds.
The Pope who provoked me for a long time took out a bone from my chest and lifted it high.
“This! St. Bartali's shin is bone! St. Bartali relies on this to settle down in Ramus and build a cathedral! God be with you! ”
“Come on!”
Hundreds of thousands of people shouted in unison, overwhelming all the nobles behind him, including Albrecht. Philipp's eyes are wide open and his tears are in his eyes.
Nevertheless, Albrecht hurriedly moved the Pope to the cathedral in the hopes that there would be something more unstoppable.
Even after the Pope left, the people shouted for a long time.
“Hail, Holy Father! ”
“Let's avenge the Holy Land! ”
“God wants it! ”
All the nobles had never seen before, nor could they ever see again, but simply gazed at the overwhelming sight.
In the wake of the morning service, the nobles began to donate to the Pope in order to be recognized for their rightful occupation of the Eastern Continent. In other words, a bribe.
Moreover, even those who were not faithful were impressed by the Pope's encouragement and the eager shouts of the people, and began to believe in the cross diligently.
Philip, Boduine and Charles visited the Pope every chance they got, and when the Pope sat in a chair, he knelt down and wept and prayed or confessed.
Albrecht was supposed to escort the Pope, but after the Apocalypse Philip's herd always had to turn around and do it. No, I couldn't if I wanted to.
There was something good about relieving the annoyance, but seeing Philip's horde, I felt anxious.
Anyway, Albrecht and Randolph were supposed to take knights to the Knights for a while and write a list on parchment.
Though I expected, they were almost from the north and the middle, and they brought in some of their acquaintances and the size of the knights grew larger.
The Knights' names were unique, most of them made up of the Knights of the Lysen region, and people called them the Lysen Knights. There were 1,000 of them. Albrecht decided to use it as the official knights' name.
The number has increased exponentially because there is no need to pay a separate salary and no need to give a scribe.
If it is different from the Knights of Earth's history, it is clearly Albrecht's personal knights.
Of course, they were expecting scraps of rice to fall from the Eastern Continent, but it seemed that they could still be used after the Crusades, depending on how Albrecht does it.
I got what I wanted first, but I felt I had to keep an eye on things in the future.
Even Albrecht did not expect this after the morning service. I didn't expect it to come to this.
No matter how brilliant the world may be, Albrecht had a lot of concerns about what to do to establish the authority of the Pope, though he could not predict the future perfectly.
The League of Merchants, the Pope, Albrecht and the Crusade were all flowing in unexpected directions. Is there anyone who can move the waves of this great age? What can I do? What to do.
And the mission meetings were convened.
The End of Chapter 8 Waves.
