Michelle Ars, a knight like a bright moon. The tenement commander of the Gaul Cavalry Regiment of the Kingdom of Falls, known in history as the Knight of the Moon - General History of the Continent, Xilu Chapter, Biography of General Stars
The blue-gray clouds are covered with large pieces of white-gray sky. Just like the light ink landscapes under the famous empire, the wind passes through the sky, and the large clouds move difficultly.
At this moment, in the Western Allied Forces camp of Longcheng, the situation of the bright moon knight Ars is as embarrassing as clouds against the wind.
Time went back a day ago, on November 24, 998, Lei Dongfeng escaped from Longcheng.
After Lei Dongfeng fled, Als led his crowd to chase him. He was about to stop him at the city gate, but was stopped by the little Duke Emilly and refused to chase him.
Ars had no choice but to take the little Duke Emili to the general Jose.
"What, just let him escape? I just reported the captive of a Han army officer to the coalition command, and such a mistake...Ars, you really disappointed me!" After hearing the news, Jose, who had always been happy and angry, also showed anger.
"Mr. Commander, this matter is irrelevant." The person who spoke was a man covered in knight's armor standing behind Jose, and it was hard to tell whether he was a man or a woman.
"Ars, do you have nothing to explain?" Jose was angry, but he loved Als in his heart, hoping that he could come up with a reason to convince himself.
Ars didn't tell the difference, his face was serious, but his eyes looked at the little Duke Emilly, signaling him not to speak.
"General, I'm all alone. If I hadn't insisted on seeing the prisoner, he wouldn't have the chance to threaten me to take him out of the city. This has nothing to do with Als..." Emilly didn't want Als to take the blame for him.
"You...ah..." Jose glanced at the little Duke Emili, knowing that his identity was special and he could not punish him, but he was angry but could not vent his anger. He had to sigh heavily:
"This matter is nothing, but I'm afraid that those who are interested will make a fuss about it. This time, a prisoner was not caught, and he couldn't explain it to the Pope and the King... I wanted to use this matter to ask for credit for Ars, but now it has become a handle. Lumberton and the others will never miss this opportunity to attack Ars."
"They are just a group of prisoners, and they have nothing to do with big things. You don't have to punish the bright moon knight too much." The man hiding in the knight's armor suddenly said in a deep voice.
"This matter has been caused by Als. If there is any punishment, he is willing to bear it." Als glanced at the figure with a complicated expression, took a step back, and half knelt on the ground.
"Okay, Als, I will now remove your ten thousand men from the position of commander of the ten thousand men. You can go to the commander of the army for the time being. As for you, our "little duke", you are not allowed to step out of the general's mansion without my orders in the future. Well, please come with me, yourselves." After Jose said that, he picked up his helmet and walked out, and the figure followed closely.
"Thank you, teacher." Als looked at Jose's back as he walked away and said silently.
He knew that Jose had removed his position to protect himself. He was originally promoted to the youngest commander of ten thousand men. Although his military achievements were enough, there were countless pairs of bad intentions in both the coalition forces and the kingdom of Falls, waiting for him to make mistakes and make mistakes.
Isn’t there a famous saying in the Han Empire? The trees are taller in the forest, and the wind will destroy them; the piles appear on the shore, and the current will rush them; the movements are higher than those of the people, and the masses will criticize them.
He is the eagle on the peak of the western land. Although he doesn't care about the rumors, he has to think about Jose, a teacher in the torrent.
Now, the Han army captured by himself has run away. Although Teacher Jose cannot punish the young duke due to status and psychological reasons, Ars must have been unable to escape the blame of Lumberton and others.
It should be noted that in the West, at least on the surface, the power of the church is always greater than the power of the emperor. No one who faces the church and the pope head-on has a good ending. Even the king of a country must perform the courtesy of his subjects when he sees the pope himself.
The Saxon Kingdom, one of the three major kingdoms in the Western Land, is their kingly power rare?
A hundred years ago, his predecessor, Henry, hated the Holy See's control of state power and interfered with the king's internal affairs. Therefore, he was determined to reform the state system, strengthen the ruling power, and promote the idea of heavenly empowerment in the country, and reclaimed the land and military power of many kingdom princes and nobles.
Later, he claimed to have no authoritatively become emperor without the approval of the Pope.
The pope was furious and, in the name of the gods' anger and punishment, moved more than a dozen countries in the Western continent, joined forces with the opposition forces in Saxon to capture the Kingdom of Saxon in one fell swoop, captured King Henry to the Holy See, imprisoned him for 20 years, and finally made him die in hatred.
Even a king had to surrender to the power of the Holy See, although it was related to Henry's radical reforms at that time, offended many great nobles in the country and betrayed their relatives.
But Als knew that he was not as powerful as Henry today. Therefore, Jose punished him first today, which was equivalent to giving Lumberton and others a step. With his coalition commander and the strongest soldier in the Western Land, they would definitely be able to restrain themselves.
But even so, Jose must offend some people for this and pay a lot of money.
"Teacher, you are all for Als!" Als's face was heavy, and he sighed at a rare sigh.
"Sorry, Als, it was me who defiled the light of your bright moon and gave you unfair treatment." After Jose left, the little Duke Emili said with red eyes.
"Your Highness, you have no complaints about your sacrifice! Moreover, the guy who escaped was also a hero. He was injured on that day, and I won't win. Whether it's running away this time, I'll fight again on the battlefield in the future." Als smiled slightly, and this smile appeared on this year's cold face, and it looked even more dazzling with the bright gold.
