Lu Mingfei Development Program

Chapter 532 Wind Rose Family

Lu Mingfei looked back and said softly: "I thought you would take us to see the tomb of Queen Wa right away."

Marston was right in front of him, but compared to César, the King of Ocean and Water seemed more important. It was very likely that Rotonda and Constance were still there, so he had to go.

Chu Yuwei sat beside him, still wearing the gorgeous and complicated Xia royal dress. She said nothing and did nothing, but expressed her support for all of Lu Mingfei's decisions with her actions.

"I think so too." Chu Shunhua sighed, "But now I can't get away."

"I hope it will be over soon as you said." Lucrecia glanced over and felt something was a little weird. The Easterners and Westerners were fighting, and she was watching the battle in the Eastern camp.

The Gattuso family seemed to have an unclear relationship with the Papal States, which obviously did not want the Gattuso family name to exist in this world. The previous actions of the Papal States also made it impossible for her to feel a sense of belonging to this Western world.

Chu Shunhua did not answer immediately. He walked out of the temporary camp and exposed himself to thousands of Western soldiers.

Whether it was the Blazing Sky Cavalry, the Crusader Guards, or the armored knights from the Western countries who came to help, everyone looked at him with fiery eyes. The Western countries had carried out many assassination attempts against Chu Shunhua in an attempt to destroy the nominal leader of the Eastern countries.

However, every time they acted, they ended in failure. Therefore, the Western countries offered a huge reward for Chu Shunhua's head. Killing Chu Shunhua would bring him military merit, and it would no longer be a dream for an unknown soldier to become a general.

Chu Shunhua's open appearance on the battlefield was beyond the expectations of the Westerners. Now, with a long-range sniper musket, the world-famous Great Xia Dragon Bird would become history.

However, the appearance of the ghost warrior made Chu Shunhua look much inferior. The black armor that was enough to rival the Blazing Sky Cavalry shocked the Westerners. The emergence of armor technology made them the best in the world, and they were determined to defeat the ancient powerful country Xia.

The Xia Kingdom was huge, and their horses, soldiers, and artillery… had frightened Westerners a hundred years ago. After the appearance of armored knights, every Western king had the intention of heading to the fertile land of the East to search for the gold that was all over the ground.

The natural barrier of the Caucasus Mountains stood in the way of the East and the West, but as long as the Kinlunga Pass was built and the passage to the East was opened, the West would be in a frenzy of war, and countless boys would join the army and go to the East to gain glory and wealth.

...However, the premise of all this is that the West has absolute technological advantages.

Now, the Oni Warrior's sword shattered not only the armor of the Blazing Iron Cavalry, but also the technological advantage that the Westerners had spent a hundred years to build. Before, they looked toward the East arrogantly, without any respect for this ancient country in their eyes, as if they were looking at an object, thinking about which piece of land they should own.

And now, looking at the ghost warriors galloping on the battlefield, they remembered why the Xia Kingdom was so terrifying according to the records of their ancestors a hundred years ago.

The entrance of the Oni Warriors quickly changed the situation of the battle, and the Blazing Sky Cavalry that were "let go" by the Wind Unit realized one thing: they avoided the Blazing Sky Cavalry's charge not because they were afraid, but because it was cavalry against cavalry, armored knights against armored knights.

The Wind Force simply cleared the battlefield to allow Onimus who could deal with them to enter.

These agile knights were not like the armored knights at all, and they used their advantages to the extreme. They used their own speed advantage to interfere with the Blazing Sky Cavalry. Many knights who were frightened by the ferocious appearance of the ghost warriors were unable to defend themselves and fell on their backs.

Such a mistake was almost fatal to the Seraphic Cavalry, but what was strange was that the Ghost Warrior did not pursue him after knocking him over, but instead quickly looked for the next target.

Soon, the knights of the Seraph Iron Cavalry understood why the Knights of the Ghost Warrior did that, because the mountain unit infantry who followed the Ghost Warrior had already placed the dangerous can opener muskets against the vital points of the Seraph Iron Cavalry.

At a time when armored knights have become the protagonists on the battlefield, cavalry may still be able to cover armored knights in combat, but infantry corps have almost become second-rate.

In the East, there was even a plan to use eight soldiers, or even more, to deal with one armored knight. The mountain troops of the Xia Kingdom were almost born based on this plan that made Westerners laugh.

But it was this army that had resisted countless tentative attacks from the West over the past century.

And now, these death squads specially designed to fight against the armored knights approached silently from behind the Onimushi. At the moment when the Blazing Iron Cavalry lost their balance, they aimed their weapons, which were also fatal to the armored knights, at them.

No one had ever thought that mobile armor combined with infantry could create such tactics.

At this time, someone finally reacted. The commander of Xia State, Chu Shunhua, the Great Xia Dragon Bird, appeared in the eastern camp. Countless people wanted to kill this Great Xia Dragon Bird, but the black great wall composed of ghost warriors was advancing towards the western position.

Chu Shunhua deployed three hundred sets of Oni Warrior armor on the battlefield, which was almost the size of a large armored knight group. This was only the first appearance of Oni Warriors, and it was hard to imagine what the size of the armor would be when it appeared on the battlefield next time.

The Xia Kingdom had an army that could resist armored knights with only their mortal bodies, but how many such armors could the vast East produce? Three thousand? Or thirty thousand?

Chu Shunhua stood in the battlefield like this, and finally someone knew why he cancelled the support from those eastern vassal states. Because he wanted to use this battle to make a name for himself as a ghost warrior.

Even if he did nothing and just stood there, it was enough to cause considerable psychological pressure on the enemy.

"...Maybe it's time to end it." Chu Shunhua said softly, then looked somewhere outside the battlefield and smiled slightly, as if greeting a friend he hadn't seen for a long time.

The position exploded violently, and countless people were stunned, watching the army commander's vehicle turned into ashes in the exploding red mercury bullets.

The Duke of Xia, the Great Xia Dragon Bird, was present at the battlefield. How could the Pope of the Papal States show weakness? The Pope's vehicle, the Avalon Ship, was parked in the Western camp before Chu Shunhua appeared. The leader of the Papal States, the Pope himself, was in the car, directing the battle.

But just now, the Pope's car exploded, and the people inside were immediately burned by the high-temperature red mercury flames, leaving not even ashes.

The Pope's position came to a standstill for a moment, and what made them even more desperate was the rumor that the leader of the Seraph Knights had committed treason and successfully killed the Pope, which spread on the battlefield.

Lucrecia glanced at the chaotic battlefield and reminded, "The Pope is not in the car."

"I know." Chu Shunhua said, "A qualified leader will make good use of substitutes."

Having said that, he personally came to the battlefield and was exposed to tens of thousands of Papal soldiers. Didn't Lucrezia remind him that he was not afraid of snipers? The latter just smiled and replied that with them around, why should he worry.

Lucrecia was speechless. She felt that Chu Shunhua's suggestion to let them see the battlefield of this world was fake, and that staying by their side to ensure their own safety was real.

She, Lu Mingfei, and Patsy had not yet demonstrated their abilities, but Chu Shunhua knew about Chu Yuwei's power that was admired by tens of thousands of Xia soldiers. "But you don't seem disappointed?" Lucrecia asked.

She had been using her sickle-weasel to observe the battlefield, and the unusually high-profile limousine had been her main focus. The invisible spirit sneaked into the car, but only heard a voice like a telegraph.

It was obvious that the Pope was commanding the battlefield remotely from a long distance.

She also discovered that it was the soldiers of Xia Country who spread the news of the leader of the Blazing Knights' treason on the battlefield. The one who instigated the traitorous knights to act was naturally Chu Shunhua. But now the Pope was not in the car, and Chu Shunhua had exposed such a trump card. No matter how you look at it, it was his miscalculation.

Chu Shunhua smiled slightly: "But they don't know."

He pointed at the battlefield and looked at the Papal soldiers who were clearly confused. A leader who wanted to hide would naturally not tell these low-level soldiers where he was. In the eyes of the soldiers, the person in the exploded ceremonial car was the Pope, and before entering the battlefield, they saluted to the location of the ceremonial car.

If the Pope appeared in the battlefield immediately after the limousine exploded and announced that the enemy's conspiracy could not defeat him, then this deed, which might seem like a miracle to others, would undoubtedly greatly boost the morale of the Papal States.

Unfortunately, he chose to hide far away.

Even though the middle-level commanders on the battlefield had received the news that the Pope was not in the car, they could not change the fact that the decline they had just experienced had become an irreversible mistake.

Suddenly, the silent Lu Mingfei looked towards the edge of the battlefield and said softly: "How could I lie to you..."

After seeing the Pope's car explode, César got on the Stein motorcycle without looking back and drove at full speed towards Marston. Although he tried to stop it, Rundstedt succeeded.

Regardless of whether the Pope was in the limousine or not, at the moment the limousine exploded, he had no reason to stay there.

The Stein heavy machine made a heavy roar, and César whispered in his heart: "Devil, I hope what you said about Adele being fine is true."

"How could I lie to you?" Lu Mingfei said softly, "Besides, I'm not a devil."

"I know, but the only thing that can subdue a devil is a stronger devil," César replied.

He knew that during the Chakravartin's rampage, the devil that persuaded him to trade and the "devil" that occupied his body were different beings. It was the appearance of the latter that ended his rampage.

Lu Mingfei was almost amused by him: "The only thing more powerful than the devil is a more powerful devil, why can't it be something else?"

"Because you don't look like you're on God's side." Xizel said dimly.

"You really make me sad." Lu Mingfei said helplessly, "I wanted to tell you a good news."

Xizel was stunned for a moment: "What news?"

"The Pope is not dead. He is not in the car. He is probably in some mountain giving remote commands." Lu Mingfei said, "So, you don't have to act like your father has died."

César had never explained to him his relationship with the Pope. But when he said that the leader of the Blazing Knights was planning to commit treason and assassinate the Pope, César's momentary daze was enough to explain a lot.

"...Thank you." Xizel said softly, and Stein's motorcycle became faster.

……

The sound of artillery fire in the distance terrified everyone in the church. The war came so quickly and so rapidly.

Many people angrily said that Marston was a neutral country, and the Orientals had made a lot of money from the West here, so how could they dare to involve Marston in the war? Someone who was well-informed revealed the existence of the Jinlunga Passage.

A month ago, the whereabouts of the Daxia fleet were exposed, and their target, this passage that was supposed to be hidden, was also exposed. It was so close to Marston that many of the construction materials were even transported directly from Marston.

This is enough to show what Marston's "neutrality" is all about.

With his arm bandaged, Poincare was patrolling the church. Normally, given his injuries, he should be receiving treatment in the hospital. But when he was able to get out of bed and move around, he hurried back to the academy.

As expected, Cesare was not in the church. Poincare tried to ask other people, but when they heard his name, those students who had always been against him avoided him in fear, fearing that Cesare would retaliate against them for their previous ridicule.

His friends and sister, who might know where Césaire is, are unwilling to tell him anything. Adele even bared her teeth at him like an angry kitten.

In their opinion, if they hadn't pressed on step by step, perhaps that accidental runaway incident wouldn't have happened.

Poincare smiled bitterly. Despite this incident, no one bothered the siblings. The people above him even acquiesced to his behavior of taking all the responsibility for the rampage on himself.

How could he not know now that this pair of siblings with the surname Borgia really came from the prominent Wind Rose family in Florence. The family emblem of the Borgia family was a rose with thorns, which was said to be a species of flower called Wind Rose. Therefore, the Borgia family was also called the Rose Family.

Poincare got up and went on patrol without any results. This was supposed to be the duty of the Heifetz campus police, but now it was another colleague who was in charge. However, since he had returned to the college, he should not sit there like a real injured person.

Suddenly, a young man with a haggard face, like a living dead, walked past him.

Poincare had heard of this person, Dasmond, who was said to be a nobleman from the Kingdom of Charlemagne, and this time he came to send his sister, who was a duchess, to study.

Suddenly, Poincare was stunned for a moment, and he found that one of the nobleman's eyes seemed to be golden. And the direction he was heading was the place he had just come from, and the person there was... Adele Borgia.
