Chapter 703: Retreat Five Kilometers

When she asked to take him out, Tandin just shook his head sullenly.

It was Gray who remained in the Imperial barracks as usual, but no one could stop him from doing anything except the Pope himself.

Veronica, who was crying inside, nodded reluctantly.

"Huh, okay, that's it."

"Then, I will prepare as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, Grand Duke Gray walked out, and Veronica and Tandin sighed at the same time.

After reaching Álvira, they had to prepare for the siege, so the counter-revolutionary army retreated five kilometers.

At that place, they began to put down what they were doing and prepare for the siege.

"I don't understand at all, the battle is not over yet, why~ come to visit us suddenly?"

The commander of the first squadron shook his head, the Pope's visit meant nothing to them.

"Isn't it for the soldiers who put their lives on the front lines, for the men who suffered so much from the war and had to deal with the losses? I've heard they're also considering

military.

Hearing what Marquis Valentino said, the commander of the first squadron seemed a little excited.

"Will they negotiate? What will the rebels do, knowing this, what are the regents and the rest of the population around the pope thinking...?"

"Well, I noticed that the fairy will escort the Pope, and Grand Duke Gray is beside her, who dares to touch the Pope?"

If what Bishop Maxim said is true, I am afraid that no one is willing to attack the Pope.

The Grand Duke Gregory is one of the best knights on the continent, and such a guardian accompanied some people from the Knights to accompany the Pope.

Conversely, once word got around, the rebels were very concerned about whether they should go to war.

"If that's the case, then everything is fine. However, why did Grand Duke Gregory come all the way here? If something happens to the king's capital, who will take care of it?"

"Could it be that you are worried about the safety of our Pope?"

"So, we just have to adapt."

After the meeting, the commanders set off, they were very cautious, for fear of jumping out and killing them.

With the arrival of the Pope, the defensive guards became tense.

Two days later, a golden carriage with the banners symbolizing the Holy Arthurian Empire and the El Cassel Sect approached the army.

This carriage is thoroughly protected by thousands of paladins and holy guards.

"Oh! Someone finally came to see us!"

"Long live the Pope!"

All of a sudden, the soldiers murmured and cheered one after another.

Amidst their loud cheers, the carriage stopped, and white dust rose from behind.

The Marquis Valentino and the other heads of the Imperial Office approached the carriage in their best manners and attire.

Lin Qing watched all this from a distance, her chest was pounding.

His heart was about to burst with excitement.

It's her! She's literally in front of me!

He wanted to run to her and open the carriage door with his own hands.

But if he made such a move, others would definitely think he was crazy.

Wait a little longer, wait a little longer!

She is indeed Leina, Lin Qing is ready to do it.

Just when Lin Qing was struggling in her heart.

The Marquis of Warren approached the carriage and greeted the Pope.

"My lord, you have blessed the priests and nobles in the castle, and traveled thousands of miles to this rugged place for us."

The figure in the carriage slightly raised his hand and answered something.

Not long after, the door of the carriage was opened, and someone came out from inside, with leather shoes covering the hem of the white skirt.

Soon, the soldiers were screaming and cheering for the Pope resounded through the heavens.

"what did you just say?"

Located in the territory of Rangel in the western part of the Holy Arthurian Empire.

There, Marquis Suleiman, who also held high the rebellion flag, jumped up anxiously when he heard the news from his retainers.

"It is said that the Grand Duke Gregory and the Holy Guard disappeared, and followed the Pope all the way to Alvira."

"Oh, such an opportunity!"

Although this was not the case, he knew very well that Archbishop Tandin had assembled a rather large army in order to suppress the rebels.

At first, Suleiman was very nervous, thinking that the army was going to take him.

Some attendants even offered to negotiate with Archbishop Tandin.

Fortunately, the army went to the kingdom of Konrad under Felied's command, not Langel.

Another good omen came, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

It is said that there are holy guards and Grand Duke Glei guarding the capital Paules, which means that Suleiman's current forces cannot touch the capital, but he was told to follow the Pope to escort her, and the Central Army is currently the only force remaining in the city. Taking them down is no big deal.

"I know God hasn't abandoned me!"

...asking for flowers...

The Marquis immediately ordered his retainers.

"Get the army ready at once! Let's get it before Grand Duke Gregory gets there!"

The capital, Burus, is extremely symbolic, and each tribe has countless temples, where many high-ranking priests and nobles live.

Under the order of Marquis Suleiman, the attendants rushed out to take over here.

The army has been prepared for a long time, and it will be fine to go out directly.

"But how did you get such valuable information?"

Suleiman suddenly asked about his retainers.

The retainer in charge of collecting information proudly said: "The owner of the chamber of commerce is someone I know, he told me himself.

"I guess information travels quickly between chambers of commerce, what's the name of the chamber of commerce?"

"Razley."

"Radsley? He helped me, and I will repay him with a lot of money, hahahaha!"

Lord Hou laughed happily.

It's been a long time since I haven't seen my master's smile, and even the retainers are happy.

On that day an army of 50,000 men began the march from Langheur to Burroughs.

"Wow! Long live the Pope!"

"Long live the Pope!"

The pope finally got out of the carriage.

Lin Qing, who was among the cheering soldiers, stepped forward.

Going a step further, he can finally confirm whether Pope Veronica III is really Reina.

At first, Sleepy tried to see through Mana.

Even if the people there are not wizards, everyone has their own mana fluctuations.

However, for humans without a strong mana circle, it is very troublesome to check for weak mana fluctuations.

What's more, there are thousands of soldiers around, so it's hard to find.

If there is any way to confirm, it is to be as close to her as possible.

Lin Qing narrowed the distance and finally had the opportunity to see the pope escorted by Marquis Valentino.

But there were only ten steps left, and he couldn't help but stopped.

The paladins standing in front of them are like an iron wall.

"Are these people holy guards?"

Their bodies are very strong in their own right.

They are actually one of Lin Qing's favorite knights, but now they are causing trouble for Lin Qing.

If he could, he would have killed them long ago, but Lin Qing kept staring at the Pope, and his mind was full of the Pope.

this!

The pope's head was covered with a veil, and Lin Qing couldn't even see his face clearly. .
