Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

"Your Holiness, you are right. We should indeed maintain our manpower and send out a crusaders army of 100,000 when the war is about to end in three years." The Grand Master of the Knights Templar nodded and said.

The Pope was right to do so, because he was fighting for the interests of the West. In fact, the Pope had discussed this joint military expedition with the Eastern Emperor a long time ago, but there were many twists and turns in the process.

Even some Nordic countries fought against the Mongolian army and war broke out.

This also led to a lack of trust between the two sides. Although the Pope came to the royal city of Hungary, this distrust could not be eliminated.

"Your Holiness! I think it's best if we don't do this. Even if we can gather an army of 100,000 in three years, we may not be a match for the Mongol army, not to mention the terrifying number of Han troops." A master of the Knights Templar spoke up.

Not long ago, one of his apprentice knights happened to have participated in the war in the northern Ross region.

Knowing the new generation of Mongolian army, the overwhelming firepower coverage and the terrifying weapons flying in the sky are beyond the imagination of mortals.

The Mongol army that marched westwards possessed unimaginable power. In a head-on battle of hard power, the European knights would be inferior to the enemy. What's more, the Mongol army now had advanced firearms.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Andre, we are believers of the Lord, we are warriors of God, we are the holy God watching over us, how could we fail?" Another Templar master said with a frown.

"Many of our people participated in the war more than ten years ago. You all know how terrifying the Mongolian cavalry was." Knight Master Andre shook his head and said.

"We are blessed warriors. We are not afraid of the Mongolian army. Moreover, in the war more than a decade ago, the entire West did not succeed in uniting together.

The Mongol army's westward expedition adopted a strategy of defeating them one by one, which made it impossible for us to unite our forces." An archbishop said.

"No! We were united at the time. Even the Pope and the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II reached an agreement to form an army of hundreds of thousands of people, but even so, we were still defeated by the Mongol army.

If the Mongolian army had not been interested in ruling our land and had left in the end, the entire West would have fallen under the iron hoof of the Mongolian army.

These Mongolian cavalrymen are only the fighting power of more than ten years ago. Have you seen the fighting power of the new generation of Mongolian cavalrymen? "Master Knight Andre said.

"We haven't seen him, but Knight Andre, have you seen him? You haven't been to the battlefield in Eastern Europe, have you?" an archbishop said.

There were many Knight Masters present. More than a decade ago, they were young Knights Templar. They all participated in the war against Mongolia and luckily survived.

But in recent years, since they were promoted to Knight Masters, they have basically not been on the battlefield.

“I have never been to the battlefield, but my apprentices and several of my disciples participated in the battles in Eastern Europe, representing our Knights Templar, and they returned with a crushing defeat.

After my disciple returned, he had mental problems. He told me that he saw weapons that could fly in the sky. The Mongols flew in the sky and dropped black explosive objects, which blew them up into the sky.

The Mongols even used more powerful firearms that could flatten the entire city, so I knew how terrifying the Mongol army was, and it was a wrong choice to be their enemy. "Master Knight Andre said.

"You are just exaggerating. How could there be weapons flying in the sky? That's just a rumor. Do you believe what those Nordic nobles and some civilians say? They are just hallucinating because of the fighting." An archbishop snorted coldly.

"The Mongolian army is here, and we are allies now. How about, Your Holiness, we ask the Mongolian army to show us their flying weapons? Let us see if they really have such weapons." Master Knight Andre gritted his teeth and spoke.

You are a bunch of self-righteous idiots. What kind of facts do you need to see? What kind of cruel consequences do you need to see before you for you to believe that all this is true?

"If they really had a weapon like that, how could they possibly show it to us?"

"That's right! If there really is a weapon that can fly into the sky, then it should be hidden as a secret weapon. How can it be shown to the enemy?" The two Templar masters objected.

"You fools, as long as His Holiness the Pope speaks, the Mongols will definitely show us, because this is their strength, and this weapon has been used. Your Holiness, please make a decision!" Master Knight Andre looked at the Pope and said with a pleading face.

He did not want hundreds of thousands or even millions of ordinary European people to suffer because of some stupid decisions made by the top leaders, which would once again give the Mongol army a reason to march westward.

"Okay! Stop arguing. I know what you mean, Andre. Your worry is not unreasonable.

Then I will ask the prince of King John tomorrow to see if they have such flying weapons and whether they can show them to us. "Pope Innocent IV nodded and said.

Only God's messenger angels and God himself can fly into the sky. Mortals cannot reach this forbidden area. This is recorded in church scriptures.

If a weapon that could fly into the sky really appeared, it would be a huge blow to their church, and it would be unprecedented.

But if this kind of thing was brought out by King John, then the people in the West would not be unable to accept it, because King John himself is full of legendary colors.

Early the next morning, Pope Innocent IV once again accepted the invitation of the Queen of Hungary and Zhang Dingguan and began to preach and celebrate mass in the city.

He warmly greeted the residents of the city and responded to their prayers. After everything was over, at noon, when everyone was enjoying lunch, Pope Innocent IV spoke.

“I heard that the great King John once entered the realm of God, and when he left, he was favored by God and given several very magical artifacts.

The previous pope was punished by God for embezzling these artifacts, which plunged the whole of Europe into disaster. This was God's punishment for the greed of his people."

“Your Holiness is right. My father did enter the realm of God and stayed there for three years, but a thousand years have passed in the outside world.

When he left, he received rewards from God and obtained some magical artifacts. Some of these artifacts have been destroyed, while some are still kept in the palace.

This time, I brought a flying artifact with me, so that His Holiness the Pope can have a look at it." Zhang Dingguan said with a smile.

Everyone knew that his father had entered the realm of God, but which God's territory did he enter? No one knew, and even his father never mentioned the matter of hell.

His mother Turanlun, as well as some Mongolian nobles such as Genghis Khan, believed that their father had entered the realm of Eternal Heaven.

There is a basis for the sighting of the legendary golden-armored generals, because many of the things Zhang Yong brought back that year had the figures of golden-armored generals and some silver-armored generals.

But Fatima, Farmaina and several of her concubines, as well as some Khwarezmians and Persians believed.

His father entered the realm of the true God and saw the legendary true God, who was also a true great prophet. Because of his father, he perfectly avoided the prophecies and seals of the previous generation of great prophets.

However, these Western religious figures believed that their father had entered the realm of God and saw the legendary God.

Even some people in Buddhism and Taoism have claimed on some occasions that their fathers have entered the realm of Buddha or the territory of the Three Pure Ones of Taoism.

His father denied some of these claims, but not others.

For example, when his brother was heading west this time, his slogan was that his father was a great prophet and he was the son of the great prophet.

In the West, my father is also called King John. According to the Mongolian noble father, he also saw the golden-armored general.

When I was still young, I once asked my father this question. At that time, my father said that the gods who took him away did not tell him who they were, so you can think whatever you want. This statement was obviously perfunctory, but it was very useful, because my father did gain huge benefits by relying on the identity of the great prophet King John, the messenger of the gods.

However, if someone uses his father's name to cheat, his father will not sit idly by.

Many temple abbots and Taoist priests, in the name of their father, said some nonsense and were captured by the imperial guards and beheaded in public.

My father has carried out the most stringent suppression of Eastern religions, and he has suppressed them from the very root of belief. You believe in your God.

I cannot perform my miracles and prove that you are just a fake liar.

"Then I wonder if King John's eldest son brought any legendary artifacts with you when you came to our West this time?

If there is, please let me, a believer of the Lord, have a look, let me be closer to God, and let me continue to feel the glory of the Lord. "Pope Innocent IV bowed to Zhang Dingguan and said.

"My father did prepare a few artifacts for me this time. He even reproduced some knowledge taught by gods and made a very powerful artifact. If Your Holiness is interested, I can show you one or two." Zhang Dingguan said with a smile.

This time, I brought my father's flashlight, which is called the Thor's Rod here. It can emit the power of thunder to hit people.

There is also a dash cam, and in it there is a video recorded by my father, which is specifically for Queen Maria to watch.

Queen Maria also recorded a video and wanted to take it back to her father.

In addition, there are large speakers modified using magnets.

It has been discovered at Gang Dingguan that the Pope wanted to see what the artifacts in their hands looked like, especially those flying artifacts, which were what the Pope was most interested in.

"That would be great, please let me see these flying artifacts. I have heard of these things, but I have never believed that someone can really fly to the sky. This is something that only angels and gods can do.

But if it is the legendary King John who has entered the realm of God, then this matter is perfectly normal." Pope Innocent IV said.

"Hahaha! Of course I can. It happens to be noon today and the weather is relatively clear.

If His Holiness the Pope wants, he can take a ride on this flying device and fly around in the sky himself, how about that?" Zhang Dingguan asked.

"Son of King John. Do you mean that I can also ride on this kind of flying device and fly to the sky? You are not kidding me?" Pope Innocent IV's face changed drastically, and he asked in a fanatical manner.

Zhang Dingguan smiled and nodded, "Your Excellency the Pope, I was just wondering how to promote this flying artifact. Now that you are here, it's great. I will show it to you!"
The biggest use of this weapon is to scout and deter the enemy. Naturally, it is better to let more people see it. Only by letting them see it can they be deterred, especially the Pope, the leader of the Western theocracy.

Zhang Dingguan called his subordinates and whispered something in his ear, asking the hot air balloon troops to start preparing.

"Your Holiness, let's eat first! After the meal, I will take you to see this legendary weapon. I promise you that it will be unforgettable for you for the rest of your life." Zhang Dingguan said.

"I can't wait! I really want to fly into the sky, be closer to God, and listen to the Lord's teachings." Pope Innocent IV said.

A group of people were enjoying lunch here, while the hot air balloon troops on the other side began to prepare. The Mongolian army had been stationed in the Hungarian royal city for more than a month and had also conducted reconnaissance of the nearby terrain.

They also found a place where they could land the hot air balloon safely. This time, according to Zhang Dingguan's order, the hot air balloon would not fly too high, probably only a few dozen feet high.

Just let His Holiness the Pope fly around, after all, safety comes first!
The group quickly had lunch, and then a large group of Knights Templar, pastors, priests, archbishops, bishops, some Hungarian nobles, Queen Maria, Zhang Dingguan, Zhang Dingchuan, Zhang Dingshu and others came to a suburb outside the Hungarian city.

The huge hot air balloon is ready. It is a completely white hot air balloon without any fancy patterns on it. It is used for reconnaissance, not to intimidate the enemy.

"Is it the flying artifact?"

"It doesn't look like a hanging basket that's anything special?"

The pilot in charge of flying the hot air balloon immediately came to Zhang Dingguan, saluted, and then spoke.
"Report to the eldest prince, the hot air balloon is ready, the safety rope has been tied, and the wind direction is good. We can start the mission at any time."

"Well! Be careful and only fly a few dozen feet high. Don't fly too far. Just float in the sky for a while and let the Pope feel it." Zhang Dingguan said.

The highest flight altitude of the hot air balloon was when it flew over the top of the mountain during the last attack on Batu, but this time, it only needed to fly to a certain altitude.

The hot air balloon pilot nodded and immediately called on everyone to take action. Soon the hot air balloon was inflated, and then the huge white cloth floated in the air, forming a giant oval white ball.

"Oh my God! What is this?"

"This big white ball looks like a swan egg!" A group of church clergymen began to discuss it.

At this time, Zhang Dingguan also came to Pope Innocent IV and made a gesture of invitation. Queen Maria next to him was responsible for translation.

"Please! Your Holiness, once you sit on the bus, you must obey the driver and hold on to the safety rope tightly." Zhang Dingguan said.

Pope Innocent IV nodded, and then with a look of fear, excitement, and a hint of terror on his face, he stepped into the hot air balloon basket with a slightly trembling body, and stood in the center with the help of two hot air balloon soldiers.

"Child! Are you sure this thing is safe? There must be no problem. If something happens to the Pope here, things will be terrible." Queen Alia whispered in Zhang Dingguan's ear.

"Queen Maria! Don't worry, I assure you that nothing will happen. We have tied a safety rope and we won't fly too high.

They are all experienced drivers, so there won't be any problems." Zhang Dingguan said.

Under the watchful eyes of all church clergy, the huge white hot air balloon carrying Pope Innocent IV slowly left the ground and flew into the sky.

"It really flew! This, this is a miracle, this is a miracle!"

"Praise God! Praise the Lord!"

"Great Lord! Bless your people!" The clergy below knelt on the ground, made the sign of the cross on their chests, and began to pray.

Innocent IV's legs were trembling a little on the hot air balloon. With the help of two soldiers, he came to the front of the hot air balloon.

Looking at the crowd below that was getting smaller and smaller, and at the rolling valleys in the distance, I had an unprecedented feeling: that was the feeling of flying into the sky.

"I feel God's call, I feel God's call, at this moment, I am so close to God." Pope Innocent IV opened his arms, closed his eyes, and quietly felt this moment.

He felt as if he had returned to the embrace of God and entered the realm of God, the sky. (End of this chapter)
