Chapter 129 An Enemy Comes

Just as the words of King Henry III of King John inspired the spirit of the kings and lords present, and were about to say something heroic, suddenly someone spoke loudly from the door of the tent.

"Ah, my dear Your Majesty, I don't think you have to be so nervous. Things may not be as bad as you think!"

Looking in the voice, he saw that King Henry III of John came in with a man wearing a black cloak and a hood. Not only that, he came in with him, but also some people wearing black armor and hoods. Although everyone felt strange, he guessed in his heart what tricks King Henry III of John was playing.

Pope Innocent IV looked at the man wearing a hood, and felt a sudden fear in his heart. Because the man looked very much like an enemy of his own, and he was a very tough and dangerous person.

"You... Your Majesty, what do you mean? Who is the person around you, and what did you bring him to do?"

As he spoke, Pope Innocent IV, wearing armor, stood up. When he looked at King Henry III of John, he had some faint threat. Of course he had already recognized who it was, the master of Turin, the man whom Pope Innocent IV had been fighting against and extorted him and his son-the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II.

As for those men in black armor, Pope Innocent IV did not know their origin. He guessed that what they were holding in their hands must be some kind of musket. Otherwise, when they entered the tent, why did they point the things in their hands at the kings and dukes?

Faced with the questioning and threats of Pope Innocent IV, His Majesty, King of John, Emperor Henry III, of the Kingdom of England, only smiled slightly. He was not worried about Pope Innocent IV's questioning. After everything was arranged, he knew that it was not difficult to solve this matter.

"Ah, Your Majesty, have you really not recognized him? Have you all the kings and dukes said that they had not recognized him? Well, let me introduce you to you, this person was treated unfairly by the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II!"

As King Henry III of John finished speaking, a scene like a graveyard appeared in the entire tent. Everyone shut their mouths and stared blankly at the person in front of them who was putting their hood down. They didn't understand why they looked at the high-ranking Pope Innocent IV who was also stunned at this moment. They didn't understand how such a thing could happen?

The Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II, who lifted his hood, looked calm, and did not have the lofty appearance of the victor, nor the solemnity of coming to the middle of the enemy. He just looked at Pope Innocent IV in front of him, as if he was looking at an old friend who had been for many years.

"Your Majesty, you haven't seen each other for a long time, and you have lost a lot of weight!"

These words were unexpected to everyone, and no one knew why he was like this. But Pope Innocent IV knew that these words came from where they came from. I remember that the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II grew up on the streets of Palermo. When he was a child, he could be said to have grown up in extremely harsh environments. When he was 15 years old, his guardian Innocent III finally did a major thing, making him marry. Innocent III in 1212, Innocent III declared Frederick the King of Sicily, and he did this to punish Otto IV, the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.

However, after the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II carried out the crusades and obtained the holy city of Jerusalem, his relationship with the Holy Church quickly became tense. The confrontation continued until the war broke out later. Although this experience was achieved, there were also friendly times between them, although very short.

"You...how dare you come here..."

The feeling was very short, and Pope Innocent IV knew that King Henry III of John had betrayed him. The middle of his eyes was roaring in a terrible way, giving the others the feeling that he would immediately draw his sword from his high seat and jump down to fight against the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II.

"You, you rebellious..."

Of course, this was not what King Henry III of John said. He was still thinking about how bad the situation was. King Henry III of John dared to bring his enemies here, and he was afraid that he had arranged everything. Pope Innocent IV, who guessed this, was thinking in his heart that should die with the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II in front of him. Perhaps his death would push the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II to the forefront and make him besieged by Christians throughout Europe.

His close servants obviously understood his heart. Before Pope Innocent IV, he had already drawn his sword and rushed forward. If the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II was lucky enough to kill him, then perhaps Henry III, King John, would beg Pope Innocent IV to allow him to re-choose his camp. Although they usually look like they are arrogant, in fact, under the control of the Holy Church, sometimes they have to beg for the Pope's forgiveness.

From a certain perspective, the struggle between the Pope Innocent IV and the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II was precisely the struggle between the Holy Roman Emperor and the secular monarch because of interests. The result of this struggle was that if the Holy Roman Emperor continued to have the authority of the monarchs, or if the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II had to adopt a more cooperative attitude. In fact, the result of the struggle between the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II and the Pope Innocent IV was the ending of the failure of the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II. But if we look at it from history, it was precisely because of his struggle that the final decline of the Holy Roman power in Europe.

So what will be the result of this struggle?

“Bao…!”

With a crisp sound of gunshot, Pope Innocent IV, who had drawn his sword and ran forward, fell to the ground. He was wearing the best armor, but it was of no use for bullets. He fell from the platform where the pope was, and when he stretched out his limbs and fell to the ground, he was dead from the foamy blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
