Crusade against the Pope

Chapter 65: Everyone must die without a head
Knights were the most important backbone class in the European feudal system of that era, and were an elite group in any Christian country.

As a reserve for knights, squires are a stage that most orthodox knights must go through.

Therefore, although a squire does not have as high a status as a knight, he has already stepped half a step into the realm of a master.

Most of the attendants were actually born into aristocratic families and were part of a network of nepotism.

That's why this person clamored about his contributions to the kingdom and his blood shed for His Majesty, and insisted on seeing Isabella.

In terms of blood relationship, she might be Isabella, or even a distant relative separated by several generations.

Of course, looking at the current situation, it was unlikely that Isabella would come, so he thought that Gailis might be crazy.

Are we really going to make the Franks pay for the lives of the Arabs?

And after killing an ordinary soldier, it was not enough, and he let that bastard Simon take him out!

"Simon, this is Raphael! What the hell are you listening to that guy Garys talking about? He's crazy! He says he's a prophet, how can you really believe him?"

No matter what Raphael said, Simon turned a deaf ear to him. It was good enough that he didn't slap him twice.

Seeing Simon so rigid, Raphael felt anxious. How could Simon, a little beast, forget the rule that commoners should not be treated with courtesy and nobles should not be punished?
When Raphael was brought in front of Garys, he couldn't help shivering as he stared at the blood-stained sword in Garys's hand. There was no trace of the arrogance he had when he beheaded the mayor with one sword.

"Lord Villeroy! This is just a pagan... This is a little inappropriate..."

In a hurry, Raphael even called out Garys's last name.

"Are you admitting that you killed someone?" Gailis ignored the submissive tone in Raphael's voice.

"How could this happen..."

Raphael was a little confused. Logically speaking, a Frankish nobleman would kill an Arab. Although during the time of the Leper King, His Majesty held more circuit courts in the local area, so the nobles would be more restrained.

But as long as your Majesty is not known, so what?
But, looking at the current situation, Garys really intends to fight for his life! Raphael lost confidence and began to deny what he had done.

Gellis turned to the other captured soldiers and asked, "Can anyone vouch for him and prove that he didn't kill anyone in public?"

After Garys' voice came out, Raphael's face couldn't help but twisted. This official look made it clear that he wanted him to die!

"How could I have killed anyone..."

Raphael looked to Jose for help. As a fellow servant of Eric, and as Jose had previously insulted Garys as a wizard and a devil, Jose might be the only one who could help Raphael.

But after catching Raphael's gaze, Jos didn't care about their old friendship at all and quickly turned his head away.

The scene of Garys stabbing his horse to death with a sword from thirty meters away yesterday was still vivid in his mind. He didn't dare to provoke Garys again.

Today, Garys is the one and only sun in his mind!

Seeing that Jose was so disrespectful to him, Raphael turned his expectant gaze to the other captives.

But everyone Raphael saw shrank their necks.

In public, with heaven and earth as witnesses, hundreds of people in the audience saw with their own eyes that it was Raphael who killed the mayor.

What kind of person dares to tell lies in such an irrefutable situation?
Perhaps there really are such people in the world, but I'm sure they would become cautious in their words and actions after seeing the sword in Garys's hand.

His heartbeat quickened and his breathing became rapid, and as the prisoners retreated, Raphael's eyes became increasingly dull.

Those who do not cultivate themselves on earth will eventually fall into hell and lie in the mud like dirty pigs.

Gailis turned around again and asked the residents of Alhadi Town: "Does anyone here testify that he was the one who killed the mayor of your Alhadi Town?"

Ordinary words are like a stone thrown into the sea, but in an instant, they create waves.

This time, no one remained silent. Almost all the townspeople shouted loudly. "I testify!"

"He killed someone!"

"He murdered the mayor!"

"it's him!"

Garys' words and actions finally struck a spark, completely igniting the wilderness.

Decades of suppressed emotions burst forth hysterically on this vast land, like a flood that broke through a dam.

As hundreds of people roared in unison, Raphael's face began to turn pale.

It wasn't that he was condemned by everyone and died without any illness, but some of the arrogant and brutal qualities in his soul were really being drained away, so much so that his legs were trembling.

"I really didn't kill that man..."

After this last weak rebuttal, Raphael took a deep breath and said to Garys, "Garys, I don't know what's wrong with you, but since you want to kill me, do it in a fair duel!"

Garys looked at him strangely, then walked up to him, waved his sword, and left a word.

"You do not deserve."

Not worthy?

Raphael's face was a little confused and his head rolled down.

The hustle and bustle of the residents of Alhadi Town ended. They did not rush to do something, but just felt a little empty.

A "noble" Frank lord died in such an ordinary way, no different from the death of these "lowly" people.

He had chopped off the mayor's head without saying a word, and now someone had chopped off his head without saying a word.

What is the difference between people?

Aren’t we all going to die if we lose our heads?

Then wasn't their past panic and fear of the Frankish knights ridiculous?

It was as if it was their silence, silence, numbness and sheep-like docility in the past that elevated those arrogant and domineering people to high positions, turning them into demons and harming the world at will.

When the townspeople came forward to identify the criminals, Gailis did not kill anyone himself.

Because at this time, there is no need to use the heads of sinners as sacrifices anymore, and the people who realize the truth will take the initiative to seek "justice" of life for life.

He ordered John, Abdullah, Khalid and Simon to form a temporary court to hear the townspeople's lawsuits and then conduct a fair trial.

……

"Holy and true Lord!"

“How long will it be, before You execute judgment and avenge our blood on the inhabitants of the earth?”

"When that time comes, we will surely receive justice."

"Lord! Please make the kingdom of heaven come soon!"
