Vol 3 Chapter 11: black Knight

When Alexander saw Joanna, the situation was not as intense as when Carlo saw it, but even then, looking closely at Nashan, it seemed that the Gypsies became the queen of his own heart. Can not help but looked at his father-in-law with a strange look.
Speaking of Nashan ’s age, the mature men in their thirties are full of mature charm. The mysterious and exotic style of the Gypsies will also attract some curious women, and his skillful knife The skill and sturdy skills are even more impressive if you stay with him all year round. No wonder it is ambiguous with such a dangerous man.
So when he heard that there was some kind of special clearance between Nashan and Queen Bohemia, he was not surprised.
But now looking at him and Joanna snuggling together, Alexander couldn't help but ponder, wondering if he, besides having a good ability, would eat soft meals part-time.
In addition to the deaths and injuries of the Neapolitans, many of the gangsters attacked Joanna. It was the huge losses that the gangsters caused her.
The gangsters seem to have robbed a lot of things even if they were beaten by the Aggris. In addition to a lot of precious jewelry and bags of Durant and Florin, there are still a lot of things missing, even when After Joanna walked into the bedroom she was kept outside, she saw only the maid who was stunned in the corner of the house. The precious personal jewelry she had placed in the bedroom cabinet carefully had already disappeared.
Looking at the messy room, Joanna felt trembling all over her body. The blow made her almost crazy, especially when she saw several empty boxes with broken locks open, and the queen's face had turned pale.
No one knew that the boxes contained a large amount of money that Groningen had brought her, and now the money was gone.
What happened in the Palace of Marino has alarmed the people nearby. Although the French were slow to hear the news, and when their belated patrol arrived, the whole battle was completely over, but the French who led the team were very arrogant.
He ordered the people to surround the palace without any reason, and then ignored Joanna to call her identity outside, and ordered the people inside to disarm and go out.
When this request was not met, the French ordered an attack on Marino Palace.
Carlo immediately took the Agri people in color, and a dozen muskets came out of the smashed window. The black muzzle was facing the French soldiers who were about to rush into the gate of the Palace of Marino. Just waiting for an order, there will be more than a dozen flaming tongues.
Joanna was so nervous that she was close to Nashan again. Her hands clasped Nashan's arm tightly, and her full almost completely buried Nashan's arm in it, which made Carlo really envious and envious.
Alexander couldn't help but admire the old man's ability, and then he turned around and looked down from the window on the second floor.
He was not nervous about the French surrounding the palace. Even if he saw a French team coming to reinforce him, he was not worried. He just wanted to see who would jump out of this farce.
The flashing armor shone brightly from the street in the distance, and as a heavy horseshoe hit the rocky ground, a team of cavalry quickly appeared at the street.
In front of this cavalry, a knight wrapped in black armor was riding on an unusually tall horse. When his huge horseshoes stepped on the Marino Palace and extended to the first step on the street, French soldiers went to both sides. Step aside.
The leader's judge immediately greeted him.
"Captain, I need to know what's going on here." A deep voice came from behind the black mask, which sounded like a whisper from the night.
"Sir, someone has attacked the owner of this house," the officer bowed his salute, his eyes quietly looking up, as if he wanted to see through the strict armor. "It is Joanna of Naples who lives here."
The black armor knight stepped off the mount with the help of his followers. His boots with armor stomped on the steps. When he walked up, the armor made a rattling sound, and every collision seemed to knock on the side. In the heart of the soldiers, they backed away to the knight to make way out.
"Let the people inside come out," the knight instructed the officer next to him, "and then tell them who I am."
The officer left to bow and obey, he climbed the steps, looked at the muzzles sticking out of the window, licked his lips and shouted, "Listen, in the name of General Henry de Charlene, General of France in Rome, inside The people immediately put down their weapons and came out, and the French army has the right to punish anyone who violates the order with the strictest punishment. "
The officer looked nervously at the windows immediately after shouting, although he did not believe that the other party dared to shoot after the French team had arrived, but stood in front of the muzzles of so many black holes, even though it was already cold winter night, the sweat still penetrated The lining of his shoulder cap.
Under everyone's attention, the closed gate of the Marino Palace finally opened slowly.
Alexander slowly came out of the gate and stood on the highest step. He looked down at the Frenchman covered in black armor.
Seeing the black armor on him, Alexander frowned secretly, knowing that he might have encountered an opponent who was not very good at dealing with.
Black always makes people feel oppressed, and the most legendary thing left in history because of black armor should be regarded as the black prince of England.
That man used to be a nightmare for the French. Apart from the dreadful black armor, what was even more terrifying was the horror he once brought to the French. .
Because of this, the French often have a natural resistance to black armor.
But the man in front of him didn't have such taboo wearing black cursed armor, and Alexander could feel it. This armor seemed to have a strange smell like this one, which made him feel secretly improved. Vigilant.
"who are you?"
The black armor knight asked, his voice was slow and low, as if to speak because of the weight of the armor, it seemed to be a bit laborious.
"Gombre of Agrig in the Kingdom of Naples," Alexander slowly walked down the steps, his sword in his sheath, his hands gently swinging at random: "Then, are you General Henry de Charlene?" "
"It's me," the knight's eyes hidden behind the visor shone faintly under the torches of the soldiers around him, and then he looked at Alexander carefully, "I've heard of you, in the Bruini Valley, you defeated Ge Viscount Ronob? "
Alexander nodded, knowing that the news should have spread in Rome now.
Although the coalition forces surrounded the city of Rome, for some strange reason, the two sides fell into a strange confrontation for a while.
This stalemate, which is neither like a war nor a truce, has been maintained for nearly two months. During this period, the armed forces of both sides are trying to avoid conflicts. It seems that they are tacitly waiting for the news.
Therefore, the fighting that takes place at this time becomes particularly noticeable.
The scale of the battle in the Bruini Valley is not large, and because it is far from the periphery of the city of Rome, the victory or defeat of this battle has not caused any impact on the situation of the confrontation between the two sides, but this unexpected battle obviously affected to a certain extent. Many people think.
"Agri's Gombre," the knight said in a low voice. "I want you to order your people out of this house immediately, and I will take away the gangsters who are still alive. I want them to know that they rule in the French team. What would it be like to be a thief in a city in China. "
Alexander silently looked at the knight who was full of oppression in front of him. Although he didn't know what kind of person it was, but from the awe of the French soldiers next to him, it could be seen that this person brought great pressure to others.
"Sorry, I couldn't do what you asked for," the invisible eyes behind Alexander and the visor faced. "In the city of Rome, Her Majesty Queen Joanna should be protected, but what is happening now makes me doubt France Can anyone protect your majesty and be the lord of Agri? Now I have the responsibility and obligation to protect the security of your majesty. As for the gangsters, their associates seem to have robbed the queen of many of the property, and it is also my responsibility to recover those properties , So I can't agree to your two requests. "
"I'm not asking you," the knight suddenly stood two steps up on the same level as Alexander. Only then did Alexander discover that the Frenchman seemed taller than him, with dark armor and a helmet top The black feathers fluttering in the night breeze fluffed loose, and a wave of oppression came oncoming. "I order you to let your people lay down their weapons. In Rome, no one except the French team is allowed to have their own armed forces. "
"Including the Pope?" Alexander smiled on his face.
"Your joke is not ridiculous," the knight lowered his head slightly, he coldly drilled the dense face of the mammoth hole close to Alexander's face, and the dull breathing behind the mask passed into Alexander's ear. "Let down Weapons, otherwise I will let my army tear you into pieces. "
"Then see the chapter," Alexander slowly retreated to the steps behind him. "Our people may die here, but don't forget the lesson of Bruini, we will let you see how we are in the cloth. Luini defeated your people, and I promise that this lesson will be more memorable than the last time. "
"Stupid Naples," the knight's hands in metal gloves with sharp guards slowly tightened, and then he slowly raised his arms. "If you are willing to surrender now, I will treat the captives kindly and miss this opportunity. You will regret it. "
"You should call me Sicilian," Alexander was unimpressed, and his arms slightly receded slowly. "I've said that it will make you realize the fiasco of Viscount Gronob, even if the French general is in front of me. . "
"He's crazy," Joanna, standing in front of the window on the second floor of the Marino Palace, said in fright, "Does he want to fight the French, all of us will kill him."
Joanna said, looking at the nearby Nashan, seeming to get a response from him.
To the disappointment of the queen, the Gypsies didn't seem to focus on what was happening to her or below, but her lips could not move lightly, as if they were talking to themselves, as if they were not keeping their spirits.
Of course, Joanna didn't know how much Nashan was calculating at the time, but just after a while, the Gypsies finally gave up this disappointed disappointment. jobs.
Then the queen heard Nashan whispering to herself, "Maybe it's time to buy the black kid ...".
Alexander had now retreated to the Marino Palace. He stood at the gate and looked at the Frenchman who was slowly coming down the steps, and also stared at the black knight who was standing still.
"If there are no more people coming," Alexander whispered to the Agri Musketeers on the windows on both sides. "When shooting, all the firepower will be concentrated on that De Charlene."
Carlo froze a little, then slowly raised his musket.
The French were almost halfway up the stairs, and Henry de Charlene's flat arms were raised slightly, almost to the maximum height the armor could support.
"Are you going to fight?"
Alexander raised his eyebrows slightly, his hands slowly reaching behind him.
Just now, when meeting with Charlene, he had a chance to attack the black knight suddenly with two muskets hidden behind him.
But he didn't do it because he was waiting.
The French soldiers had already approached Charlene and they would cover him in the crowd.
Just then ~ EbookFREE.me ~ A carriage appeared on the street in the distance.
The horse was running, the wheels were spinning, and the sound of the driver shaking the whip came from afar.
"Stop fighting in the name of the supreme messenger of Christ in the world in the power that God gave the Roman bishop!"
A cry came from the side of the carriage, which was a small group of cavalry in armor and a cross-studded cloak on their shoulders.
"Holy Guard of the Holy See." The former judge yelled.
De Charlene slowly turned to look in the direction of the carriage, and no one knew what expression was on the face behind his black visor.
The carriage stopped in front of the Marino Palace, and the priest who had greeted Joanna at the Monte Carlo Cardinal Palace hurried down from the carriage.
He crossed the French soldiers crowded on the steps and came to De Charlene.
"General, the queen of Naples is here. Any attempt to violate the dignity of the queen is unforgivable. God will punish sinners who offend the royal family."
"Dear priest, I think you have forgotten that the Roman city is now under the control of the French army." De Charlene said in a low voice.
"General, I think you have forgotten that the real ruler of Rome is the supreme pope, and I brought the direct command of the pope," said the priest with his arms outstretched in front of Charlen "In the name of the Pope, order you to stop offending Joanna of Naples immediately, otherwise it will be regarded as apostasy!"
