To Four Thousand Years Later

v3 Chapter 135: From the heart also needs a reason

Regrettably, the war did not happen.

The cowardice and compromise of the high priests made them choose to surrender immediately after Charles broke through the city gate. The high priests could immediately recruit the militia, organize the defensive force, use the bow and mandarin hands squatting on the sentry tower to snipe and kill the elites of the Fasanks, and at the same time interfere with Charles' siege operations. Then use the power of the gods to use multiple great magic spells such as "awakening the sky fire", "awakening the flames of the sun", "possession of the holy spirit". As long as the war is dragged into a protracted war, compared with the Frankish army that has no backup, no supplies, and no reasonable reason to fight, Sasanian Persia will be much more rustic.

At that time. Troops sent from all over Persia. It will gradually strangle Charles' army inside Persia. Yes, they originally planned it that way. It was even almost discussed.

Until an explosive stone fell on the entrance of the temple and exploded, causing serious injuries to the two high priests close to the big i on the spot.

Although the Persian intelligence agency is not as good as the Gothic witches, it has been so long, and the new weapons Charles used on the North Gothic battlefield have already been sent to the high priests, but they did not pay much attention to it . Because the Persians, or the priest class of Persia—especially those who can wake up the three or four-meter-high sun giant within three syllables, and can, after half an hour of ceremony, only rely on a single person they invented for Charles The evaluation of things is "a little useful gadget". The high priests even planned how to destroy and how to deal with this new type of war machine - as long as the soldiers on the front line hold on for half an hour, they can arouse multiple fires from the sky and burn all the machines down. In the three fields of the sun, life and fire, the Persians have already had a profound knowledge since the age of the gods nearly two thousand years ago. They are so self-confident that they are the undisputed experts in this regard Arrows from Flying? How much impact can an arrow ejected by a machine have? I'm afraid it can't compare to the strength of a light bow - just pull up one or two walls of fire, and they can be burned to death.

Will stop charging because of the fear of flames? That is even more nonsense. At that time, a high priest even suggested that, seeing that Charles likes to make inventions so much, it is better to give him the formula for making holy oil instead of part of the gold and silver rewards. Anyway, they also have a restraint control method. If Charles intends to use this to deal with them, they can make it The priest directly controlled the burning oil and poured it back into the French army, making them ask for trouble. until now. until now.

Until Charles knocked down the solid city wall with his "gadgets", threw explosive stone bombs into the city outside the city, and threw them around them until one of them was behind where it should have been safe. All of a sudden, the whole body was covered with gravel and pieces of iron, yes, all the stone bullets were constantly hitting them, and the high priests finally trembled.

why. Can Charles' attack penetrate the holy protection? But if that's the case, or if Charles' attack can really penetrate the protection of the temple, what's the point of them hiding here? Where would it be absolutely safe?

If they all die here, even if Charles' offensive is really blocked in the end, what's the point? They chose to surrender.

But they did not choose to completely surrender. The political wisdom of the great priests is fully displayed at this moment. directly killed the two colleagues who were seriously injured by the stone bomb.

Immediately afterwards, the high priests announced that there were two apostates among them, blasphemers who had betrayed Ahura. They sent an old priest, without any weapons, to the front of the battle, wearing a sackcloth, and singing praises to King Solomon.

They loudly praised the glory of Charles to the people of Persia, declaring that he was the savior predicted by Ahura. As Ahura's prophecy said, Zhipa is not afraid of the power of all weapons in the world. And a transcendental eye that can see past and future.

They praise, they sing praises. And Charles pondered for a moment, and ordered them to retreat. He came to the front of the formation alone, and said calmly following the words of the old priests.

"Are you going to bow down to me?

Charles said loudly: "Are you going to submit to me, the king of Fark, the king of Goths, the king of Wales, the king of Carthage, the emperor of the Romans, Charles the Great, and the Holy E appointed by Ahura, King Solomon I?"

He was riding on a horse, condescending and shouting questions.

"Look up, look me straight! Salute to me, confess to me, bow down to me!"

Under Charles' power, the old priests had no power to resist, so they knelt down and bowed to him.

His voice is clear and high-field, which has a kind of inspiring power. Those flaming eyes were shining brightly, and the light condensed around his body, as if there were two wings of light slanting upwards. It was the spiritual incarnation behind Charles raising his hands in praise of the sun. In the terrible silence, it didn't take long for the high priests to rush over after hearing the news. Because before they came here, they had to ask Ahura about this matter.

Yet they received no response and Ahura was not even angry at the desecration of the temple. The high priests, who felt scared, took two wooden boxes wrapped in sackcloth that were still dripping blood, prostrated themselves on the ground, and respectfully dedicated them to Charles.

"This was punished by Ahura for being your enemy. Charles, the head of the traitor, nodded and said in a deep voice, "Okay, I accept your apology.

Although there was really nothing to apologize for, the two high priests who died due to bad luck did nothing wrong.

But no one cares about this—everyone is very satisfied with the result.
