Chapter 450 Don’t say anything, I’ll kill you!
In the morning, the southern gate of the Holy City opened early. Several soldiers from the King's Hall yawned and walked out of the city lazily, collecting the city entry tax from the common people who had been waiting to enter the city.
"Oh, this job is so boring."
A soldier squinted his eyes, stretched and said.
"That's right. I don't know when I can get a promotion and a more lucrative job."
Another soldier echoed, with a hint of helplessness on his face.
At this moment, dust flew in the distance. A soldier of the King of France looked over and saw a group of knights coming over. Looking closely, they were wearing the standard armor of the King of France, which shone coldly in the sun. The leading knight held the flag of the King of France high up, and the flag fluttered in the wind.
"Quick, drive the people to the sides!"
The soldier who saw the team shouted hurriedly, and then began to command the people. A cloud of dust blew in the face, and the knights rode into the city at lightning speed, followed by several carriages. The group of soldiers who stayed behind began to whisper to each other, curiously discussing the origins of these cavalrymen.
After entering the Holy City, Reynard in the carriage ordered all the cavalry to slow down. He looked through the window at the bustling crowds on the street.
"Go and find out where the French king's palace is."
Reynard instructed a knight beside him.
"Yes, my lord."
The knight took the order and left.
Reynald looked at the crowd around him. Most of the citizens were still working as usual. The street vendors were busy hawking their wares and people were walking by in a hurry. However, the wealthy nobles in gorgeous clothes were enjoying themselves as usual. Their laughter could be heard in the tavern, as if his war with the Kushans had nothing to do with them.
At the same time, he had also heard that the Pope's Office had not declared war on the Yoda Empire, which was cooperating with the Kushans, as if the Pope did not care about this matter. Now he didn't know who he was fighting for.
Soon, the knight who went to inquire about the news came back and whispered a few words in Reynald's ear. Reynald then led his men and horses to the direction of the French king's palace.
Arriving at the palace gate, Reynald got off the carriage, straightened his robes, and walked towards the guards, saying seriously:
"I am Reynald, the Lord of Acre. I have an important matter to discuss with His Majesty the King of France."
"Ok?"
The guard looked up and carefully examined Reynard, then said:
"His Majesty the King of France is very busy. He will summon you when he has time."
After saying that, he sent someone to report the situation.
Reynard had no choice but to wait patiently at the door. However, as time passed, Reynard began to get anxious. While trying to calm himself, he couldn't help but look at the palace behind the door.
At this moment, another carriage arrived at the door. A middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes got out of it. He walked up to the guard calmly and said:
"I want to invite the King of France to the banquet. Let me in quickly."
The guard immediately came forward with a smile and said enthusiastically:
"Sir, please come in."
After saying that, he immediately opened the door and let the middle-aged man in. The middle-aged man showed a very satisfied smile and handed a purse directly to the guard.
Seeing this, Reynard couldn't help but frowned and asked loudly:
“Why can he go in directly?”
The guard glanced at Reynard and said with a disdainful smile:
"He is Fidelicao. His family, Bandimeo, is the most powerful family in the entire French King's Hall. How can a city lord like you from an unknown place compare to him?"
Hearing this, Reynard immediately became angry. He took a few steps forward, grabbed the guard, and angrily questioned:
"What did you say!"
Leonard's eyes widened and he roared:
"I am not worthy to compete with him?"
"Where was he when I was fighting the Kushans in Acre?"
Leonard increased the strength of his hands a little more, and the guard grimaced in pain.
The guard was unable to move by the sudden blow. He tried to pry Leonard's hands apart, but found that he was surprisingly strong.
Leonard didn't waste any time talking to him. He just threw him aside and rushed in with the knights behind him.
At the same time, a large number of soldiers from Acre city got out of the carriage.
When the people around saw this, they came forward to watch and talked among themselves:
"What's going on? Is this going to be a coup?"
"I'm not sure, but judging from the situation, something big must have happened."
"Nonsense!"
At this moment, Fidelicao, who had just walked into the palace gate, saw the situation behind him and immediately shouted:
"Who are you? How dare you lead troops into the palace of His Majesty the King of France? Aren't you afraid that His Majesty the King of France will punish you?"
When Reynard heard Fidelicor's scolding, his anger grew even stronger. He stared at Fidelicor and said fearlessly:
"Oh, you are Fidelicio!"
After saying that, the group of knights behind Reynard moved quickly and surrounded Fidelicio.
Fidelicio was startled by this sudden situation. His face turned very ugly and he said in panic:
"What are you going to do?"
Leonard looked at him coldly and continued to question:
"I should ask you first! Tell me! How did you persuade the King of France not to send troops to help Acre when it was under siege?"
Fidelicao looked puzzled and asked:
"What the hell is going on here? I'm just hosting a banquet, and I hope His Majesty the King of France will attend."
Fidelico was completely confused and felt that Leonard was simply being unreasonable.
"You dare to say you don't know?"
Leonard raised his voice a little, and said through gritted teeth:
"The entire Dharma King's Office knows that you, Fidelicio, can influence the decisions of the Dharma King's Office. Acre City is under siege, and the Yoda Empire and the Kushans are working together to invade Mitlan. But you are here to invite the Dharma King to a banquet to divert attention?"
At this point, Reynald was furious. He drew his sword from his waist, put it on Fidelicor's neck, and said viciously:
"Tell me! Are you in league with Yoda? Are you trying to deprive the King of his power?"
Feeling the coldness of the sword, Fidelicio realized that the other party really wanted to kill him. He widened his eyes, his body trembled slightly, and he stammered:
"This... How is this possible? You can't slander me like this!"
"Humph! You didn't know? Then tell me, why did you hold a banquet at this critical moment and invite the King of France to attend? Isn't there any ulterior motive behind this?"
Leonard's eyes were full of doubt and anger.
"I... I just want to enhance the relationship between the King of France and the nobles, and to promote unity, so that we can send troops to resist the Yoda Empire in the future."
Fidelicio tried to defend himself.
"Unity? You didn't send troops when Acre was on the brink of death? You didn't send troops when I was besieged by hundreds of thousands of Kushans on the island of Serilius. But when Count John died and we were defeated and retreated, you united with us. You clearly wanted to coerce the King of France at the banquet so that you can gain benefits for yourself in the future!"
Leonard laughed in anger, his laughter full of sarcasm.
"Don't say anything! I'm going to kill you, you scum, today!"
Reynald's eyes were wide open with anger, and the sword in his hand was raised high, flashing with cold light, as if he was going to kill Fidelicio instantly.
How could Fidelicio sit there and wait for death? At this critical moment, his eyes flashed, he spotted the gap below, and quickly jumped out like a frightened rabbit. Seeing this, Reynard would never miss this opportunity, and immediately chased after him with his sword.
The two of them immediately started a chase in the palace garden. The garden was full of flowers and green grass, and at this moment, in this life-and-death contest, it seemed particularly tense. Fidelicao ran and looked back, his face full of fear, and he kept shouting:
"Help! Help!"
Leonard chased after him relentlessly, shouting:
"Today is the day you die, don't even think about escaping!"
Outside the gate of the garden, a group of citizens leaned against the gate, craning their necks to watch the show. They talked among themselves and speculated on the cause of the conflict.
At this moment, the King of France walked out of the palace gracefully. He was very happy to hear the news that Reynald had returned, and he was ready to welcome him with a grand ceremony, but he didn't want to see this scene: a man with disheveled hair and slightly messy clothes holding a sword desperately chasing a man who was dressed gorgeously but in a mess and shouting for help.
The King of France was stunned, his brows furrowed, his eyes full of confusion and shock. He whispered to himself:
"What happened?"
