Chapter 303 Regensburg City Hall
Pastor Grunewald didn't understand what was going on. Although he used silence and coldness to give his subordinates confidence, he himself had no confidence at all.
Although more than five hundred troops who believe in Bane are concentrated in the city hall, he only sees danger and despair from tonight's developments.
When the news of the battle on Devil's Bridge came, Pastor Grunewald began to mobilize and gather the troops who were absolutely loyal to the Bann Church. In his view, the Austrian army wanted to break into the city from the narrow battlefield of Devil's Bridge.
, it is impossible not to have a few hours, he knows very well who Solskjaer is.
He did a great job, as efficient as any of the Bane Church's operations.
However, sometimes being efficient and outstanding does not necessarily lead to good results. From the moment the Austrian army unexpectedly appeared in Regensburg early, the Bann Church's operations in Regensburg were shaky.
Pastor Grünewald was very remorseful. He reflected and felt that he should have carried out a general purge in the city as soon as the Austrian army appeared. Even if he wanted to maintain peace, he should at least gather all the troops.
He has now forgotten his worries about why he did not gather the troops in the first place. There are still many Sirik believers in Regensburg. Although they watch Bishop Sirik die, this is based on the mayor limiting the struggle to a limited area.
The results at the level of political struggle under armed confrontation.
Once Black Hand's troops gather together, then the remaining forces of the Dark Sun will definitely gather together, and then a melee will be inevitable.
In addition, the fact that the Austrian army was not camping near the city gave him a certain illusion, thinking that the opponent should not know the situation yet. Ladislaus did not know what was going on in the city until he released the Sickingen Knight.
Deceptive activities.
He just thought that the damn fool Knight Sickingen's deception had obviously failed again. It was this fool who told him that the Austrian army would be delayed for at least several days and caused all this disaster.
Priest Grunewald also has troops with considerable combat effectiveness, and the mercenaries with Bane's elite warriors as the core are capable of fighting in street battles.
He was hesitant to retreat. Although the Devil's Bridge had fallen, the city gate in the other direction was still in the hands of the pro-mayor faction, so he still had a chance to retreat.
However, after a brief hesitation, he finally chose to fight to the end. The laws of the Benn Church are strict, and the punishment for fleeing due to fear of the enemy is very severe. If he is found to be derelict in his duties, not only will he be unlucky, but his family will also be implicated.
He was determined that even if he inevitably failed in the end, he would reduce Regensburg to a pot of porridge and buy Martin Luther a little more time.
Although he was determined to die for his beliefs and career, even a notorious figure like Grünewald inevitably had quite a lot of emotions between life and death. This kind of emotion happened when he saw it again
The Sickingen knights burst out.
"Traitor. It turns out you brought the Austrians in!" This accusation is actually somewhat harsh. After all, Knight Sickingen has actually lost his trust. He is just trying to survive. "His Majesty the Black Hand will definitely punish you severely.
Yes, may your soul suffer in eternal agony.”
But this cannot be said to be nonsense. Knight Sickingen is indeed a traitor.
"I have always been a believer of His Majesty the Knight of Vision." Knight Sickingen has always been a pan-believer. In the past, he didn't mind worshiping Sirik in Trier, but from now on he will be a believer of Barbarossa.
"And I am not a traitor. Many years ago, my father accepted the sponsorship of the Warlock Royal Family. He devoted all his enthusiasm and strength to the cause of establishing a unified and powerful German national empire. This is our father and son."
Long-term hope is also my only ideal."
"All German-speaking compatriots, only the Warlock Royal Family can save our torn empire and rebuild the glory and majesty of Emperor Otto the Great." Although Knight Sickingen was blatantly lying, Ladislaus was not opposed to the establishment of a Hagsburg empire.
The Busburg family is very powerful and has the illusion of a ubiquitous network.
After all, the Habsburg family is indeed very powerful. This alone has brought enough opposition to make the people think that the Habsburg family has a comprehensive plan. Fear will occasionally bring allies and supporters.
.
"For the Holy Roman Empire!" Ladislaus shouted.
"For the Holy Roman Empire! For the Royal Family of Warlocks!" The knight of Sickingen responded to him without forgetting to add a line showing his loyalty.
"For the Holy Roman Empire! For the Warlock Royal Family!" More people responded. Even the residents of Regensburg cheered. Who hasn't had enough of the endless struggles among the princes, bishops, and mayors? The Germans
Deep down in their hearts, they are looking forward to a Holy Roman Empire with order, glory and power.
The establishment of such an empire does not require any specific efforts, but a kind of destiny and luck that cannot be resisted. The Habsburg family, whose brother-in-law will die if they marry, does seem to have good luck.
With the loud slogans boosting morale, the Austrian army launched an attack on the city hall.
Although the defenders of the City Hall also included mercenaries from Northern Europe, there were also a large number of local mercenaries. They were swayed by the oppression of nationalist slogans, and they quickly collapsed from the square in front of the City Hall.
The dozens of heavy armored infantry of the Bann Church were hardly affected. Although the Bann Church actually emphasized the concept of the national church to attack the Cyric Church in Rome, the disciplined troops were able to isolate the doubts in their hearts and focus on the battle.
.
Although Pastor Grünewald knew something was wrong, he still took out his mace and faced the Sickingen knight who was charging at the front at the gate.
He knew that today was the day he died, so he no longer hesitated or hesitated. Faced with the hatred in his heart, he directly gave up any defense and launched a fierce attack, and with each hammer blow, he let out a loud roar.
"traitor!"
"traitor!"
"traitor!"
The Sickingen knight endured the opponent's rage like a huge wave but had no distracting thoughts. He just concentrated on defending against Grunewald's suicide attack and steadily neutralized the opponent's heavy hammer.
He is a pure warrior and possesses Ladislaus's "Herd Bear Tenacity". He is better at melee combat than Grünewald, who has dual professions as a warrior and a priest.
However, he was unable to defeat Pastor Grünewald, who had put his life and death at risk. In the next few rounds, the Sickingen knight retreated again and again, almost unable to stand. (To be continued. Please
