Three Kingdoms: Marry Sun Shangxiang at the beginning

Chapter 617 Constantinople, Saint Athelena
Constantinople, where the cathedral of the Holy Church of the West is located.

The Pope, the aged Gallisto I, had just arrived from the Vatican.

"Atelena."

"Your Majesty the Pope." On the side, the saint Athelena, who was 1.7 meters tall and had five heads, and whose appearance surpassed that of 5000 million people in Western Rome, bowed her head respectfully.

"The Han army has won again."

"Now the Roman emperor has ordered us to the Holy See to recruit fanatical believers and send out the Crusades. What do you think?"

"Reporting to His Majesty the Pope, although you have the Holy See guards by your side, you also have three knight orders."

"But the mighty Han Empire, even the Guishuang Empire and the Anxi Empire were destroyed by them one after another. The fleet of the Roman Empire, two months ago, all fed the fish and shrimp under the Red Sea."

"Now the Tigris and the Euphrates are also lost."

"Forgive me for not thinking of any possibility of defeating the Han army."

"Moreover, the Roman Empire sent troops to help the Parthian Empire before, in order to seize the territory of the Parthian Empire when the Han people fought against them, so as to expand the territory of the Roman Empire and capture more slaves from the Parthian Empire. This It was not a just war, so they failed and provoked the most powerful enemy in the world, the Han Empire."

"Those ignorant Romans will pay the price for their actions."

Galisto I looked at her kindly, "My child, you are wrong."

"This battle is not because the Roman Empire doesn't want to fight, so it will end."

"Your Majesty, the emperor of the Great Han Empire, has great talents."

"He attacked the Guishuang Empire and the Anxi Empire, pacified the Western Regions, and went to the Red Sea to test the strength of our western countries."

"Just ask, he just wanted to dominate the world."

"Then why do you care about whether it's a tiger or a lion blocking him?"

"What's more, I still feel that it is too late for the Roman Empire to send troops."

"If we attacked the Guishuang Empire before the Han Empire swept across the Western Regions, our Roman Empire would send troops to stop it, and in the name of my Holy See, summon the Guishuang Empire and the Parthian Empire to serve us, plus the Roman Empire. There is nothing to be afraid of, a big man."

Athelena remained silent, she felt that the Pope was indeed old.

Some whimsical.

"squeak"

Suddenly, the door of the church was pushed open, and Cardinal Urban walked in.

"His Majesty the Pope, you are still blaming the Senate of the Roman Empire for its slow response."

"Well, since 100 million believers have been gathered outside the city of Constantinople, why not let me take them to the front to fight against the Han army."

"Presumptuous." A cardinal in front of him suddenly became angry, "Urban, what do you want to do, only His Majesty the Pope can command the crusaders we have gathered."

"What are you, you dare to overstep your limits?"

"chi"

As soon as the words fell, the cardinal was pierced through the chest of the moon by a knight's long sword.

"Your Majesty the Pope." Athelena's complexion changed drastically, "Urbain, how dare you kill His Majesty the Pope?"

She snatched the knight's sword from one of the guards and stared at Urbain coldly.

"Your Highness, why do you continue to struggle?"

"I won't do anything to you."

"The crusaders outside now all obey my orders, and they are willing to fight for the Roman Empire."

"His Royal Highness is still staying here obediently."

"When I return victorious, I will overthrow the rule of the decadent Senate in the Roman Empire."

"At that time, Your Highness, you can also marry me, and the child we give birth to will become the next Pope."

Atelena snorted coldly, "You are dreaming."

"Regardless of whether I am dreaming or not, Her Majesty the Holy Maiden should live well."

"After all, I'm going to go out soon, maybe I'll die in battle and never come back."

"At that time, please ask Her Royal Highness to succeed the Pope."

"Our Vatican's first female pope."

Having said that, he immediately turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall.

The cardinals and Templars on the left and right also bowed slightly to Athelena and walked away.

Atelena was so wronged that she wanted to cry, but she couldn't make a sound to stop these people.

Because she knew that many people hated the pope for being old, and he could clearly do some things to protect his family and country, but he only wanted to spend his life peacefully.

Therefore, when the old pope was killed, these people followed Urban to fight for the country without hesitation.

"I am the great Urban I."

"All soldiers of the Crusaders, follow Your Majesty the Pope and set off."

"Fight for great Rome."

"Fight for the Vatican."

"Destroy those Han Chinese who invaded our homeland."

"Kill!"

When Atelena came to the balcony, she saw a dense crowd of crusaders outside the city, holding the flag of the Holy See, heading east.

The Roman legions were defeated, and now nothing is known about the situation on the front lines.

They need to cross the Strait of Istanbul as soon as possible and reach the Asia Minor peninsula before they can support the Roman Legion.

As long as it can be guaranteed that the emperor of the Roman Empire will not be captured, then their crusaders can reorganize their troops and launch a full-scale counterattack against the Han army.

"Maybe there's something I can do, too?"

While Atelena was hesitating, someone suddenly broke into the palace.

"who?"

She once again clenched the knight's sword in her hand.

"His Royal Highness Athelena, please don't be nervous. We are secret guards from the Han Empire. You can call us spies."

"We are here to take you to the camp of His Majesty the Emperor of Han."

Adelena sneered, "Have you been hiding near the church for a long time, just waiting for this opportunity to arrest me for meritorious service?"

"good."

Atelena stared at their hair color, "You are not Han people, I remember the Han people's envoys are yellow-skinned."

"That's right, we are people from Kangju Kingdom, Wusun Kingdom, and Cheshi Kingdom, but we all serve for the Son of Heaven."

Adelena's eyes turned cold, because she could see that the short crossbows in these people's hands were powerful, and they were all burly. She was definitely not their opponent, but if she was captured and humiliated, she would kill herself now.

"His Royal Highness Athelena, my Majesty asked us to tell you that if you or, even in the territory of the Han Empire, you can keep some church members, but if you die... then the Holy Church of the Vatican , there is really no need to exist.”

"Kang Dang." Hearing this, the long sword in Atelena's hand fell to the ground.
