Chapter 128 Never Back Down

Faced with the situation of war, Pope Innocent IV was filled with worries. %%(), especially when Henry III, Earl Artowa and their men were not around. When the second night came, he invited all the dukes and kings to further discuss with them the matter of seizing the city of Turin.

The situation in his eyes is obvious. If Turin City is not taken down, no one here will have a good result. The subordinates of the Eastern Emperor came to the Alps. Their ability to seize Lyon shows their strong strength. Then the power behind him must not be underestimated, and Turin City in front of him is almost sad.

After attacking for so long, the city remained motionless. The biggest destruction was that the small Xiaohan outside the city was destroyed. As of now, their walls were almost insurmountable like mountains.

Pope Innocent IV habitually stroked his forehead with his hands. This has almost become a habit, a habit formed after he began to attack the city of Turin. He was waiting, waiting for the arrival of King Henry III of John. As the king with the most powerful military force in the entire pope army, if this matter is not supported by his strong support, then there is no need to attack the city of Turin, and there is definitely no hope of conquering it.

But when the other dukes and kings had arrived, the John King Henry III was not delayed. At this time, the kings and dukes who had arrived were hesitant and quietly began to discuss. The situation in front of them was obvious. The army was behind them, and the supplies had been cut off. Although the Pope's army was not at risk of food being cut off, they faced the possibility of being surrounded and annihilated by the other party under the city of Turin.

For warriors who are loyal to God, this may not be a great thing. It is probably not that important for them to come, except for being on the battlefield for a long time and feeling a little tired. Even if the supplies are cut off, they can fight to the end even if they only eat one face a day and drink a glass of water.

But this is not the case for the kings and dukes. They are not pure warriors. They are kings of a country, but politicians! Faced with the appearance of the pope, they hope that someone can come out to clean up the mess and lead them to open the city of Turin. After all, only in this way can they have the opportunity to be glorified, rather than being surrounded and annihilated by enemies from the Alps under the city of Turin.

No need to think that it is definitely a very cruel thing. Seeing that the Emperor John King Henry III of England had not appeared, they couldn't help but wonder if the Emperor was frightened by this bad news that he did not dare to appear here.

This is of course a malicious sarcasm speculation. Everyone knows that when Henry III, the Earl of Artowa, and Henry Raspi, the Duke of Thuringia, led their troops to the Alps, intending to fight the enemy behind them there, the greatest power in this camp, His Majesty the Emperor of the Kingdom of England, naturally became the master of the camp.

Even after conquering Turin, if it could be conquered, then the distribution of wealth in the entire city would probably be what King John King Henry III of England had.

After waiting for a while, the eunuch sent to the urging Pope to avoid everyone's hopeful gaze and headed straight to Pope Innocent IV who stroked his forehead with his hands because of a headache. Everyone chased his figure with their eyes, and looked at it as if they were condemning him with their eyes, as if it was his fault that King John King Henry III of England did not come.

Of course, Pope Innocent IV noticed this. His hands covering his forehead were also blocking other people's gazes in the air. Perhaps in his heart, he was worried that those who followed him to conquer the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II, would like to ask him with his eyes how the situation would be so bad?

Yes, how could the situation turn out to be like this? This is also a problem that Pope Innocent IV could not understand anyway. The city of Lyon is the location of the Holy See and the location of the Knights Templar. How could it be easily conquered by the army of pagans from the East? In addition, why did King Fernande III, the Kingdom of Castile, conquered the Pope's army for a pagan?

"Has this pope done something that he had already given God's blessing?"

Although no one thought so, even because of fatigue and the breaking of the back road, no one thought so in the military camp where all kinds of rumors were rumored. But Pope Innocent IV was not willing to put his hands down, but the following news made him unable to let go of his hands, facing the kings and dukes who had been waiting for a long time in front of him.

"His Majesty the Pope, His Majesty Henry III, King John of England, was having supper at this time, and he said that he was still looking forward to a distinguished guest. As soon as that guest arrived, he would come to serve His Majesty immediately, so..."

The eunuch felt extremely uneasy in his heart when he spoke. He knew that the arrogance of King Henry III of John brought extreme shame to Pope Innocent IV. Of course, he also knew that the situation in front of him was that without the army of King Henry III of England, the city of Turin would not have been conquered.

At this time, the "buzzing" discussions in the tent seemed to ask, and became bigger as if protesting. Pope Innocent IV knew that he could no longer stop talking, and it was time for them to explain his determination to fight. He slowly put down the hand that had been stroking his forehead, and then slowly raised his head. He tried his best to widen his eyes so that he could look more majestic.

At this time, the voices of the kings and dukes who found him reacted were low, which made Pope Innocent IV quite satisfied and felt that he was still a little majestic.

"Everyone, I don't need to say the details. I think everyone already knows it. The situation is quite bad, but those who believe in God will never despair. In any case, the apostate king of our man is our great and glorious obligation. A battle glorious because of this obligation, even if we sacrifice our lives to God, is definitely the greatest choice.
