Chapter 606 Above the King

The midday sun was very dazzling.

The man standing with his back to the light looked a little pale because he had been lying in bed for a long time, but when he walked down the stairs slowly, almost everyone cheered for him.

"Saint Rosa, Saint Rosa!"

"Long live the Grand Marshal!"

The ladies who appeared in the stands at some point had different expressions.

Prajna took out a notebook with a calm expression and wrote down the scene in front of her with a charcoal pencil.

Jeanna took a bottle of glass wine that had been improved by the workshop and took a sip. Although she didn't say anything, she gave people a sense of relief that "my son has grown up", and the whole person looked very kind.

Fulin was proud, as if the protagonist in the cheers was not Rosa, but her.

Cherinina felt relieved, but there was still a trace of apology in her eyes.

Lavinia stretched out her finger and gently lifted the frame of her glasses, and asked Nina beside her: "Nina, can't only the dead be canonized?"

Cherinina didn't know how to explain for a moment, and thought about it, and said: "That is the church's canonization, your canonization is not given by the church."

Lavinia frowned: "Will this arouse the hostility of the church?"

Cherinina nodded: "Maybe, but your Excellency doesn't care, and the kings and bishops present don't care either."

Lothar waved his hand to disperse the Duke's new gun, and came to him in the forced smile of Philip II.

"Your Majesty Philip, can I say a few words?"

Philip smiled awkwardly: "Of course."

At this critical moment, what else can I say to let you go?

Richard finally couldn't help himself and laughed out loud. He had planned everything, but in the end, he made things difficult for others: "Philip always thought he was the smartest man in the world, but he did something stupid that even the stupidest person couldn't do."

Lothar cleared his throat. He didn't need any loud potion. Now his mental power was strong enough to transmit his voice to everyone. Even without considering other abilities, he was qualified to be a high-level wizard.

"My fellow Christian brothers who have come from afar, many of you are curious about why I have stayed indoors for this period of time. It is rumored that the Saracens attacked me, causing me to be seriously injured and dying. In fact, this is true. But unfortunately, God does not want me to return to His arms before completing my mission, so I recovered."

"Long live God!"

"God bless my Lord Lothar!"

"This is God's will."

Lothar smiled and raised his hand to stop people from cheering: "Everyone knows that in Rashid, the capital city of the Saracen Buhela Province, a horrific tragedy occurred. Most of the tens of thousands of people in the city were killed or injured, and the entire city was reduced to half a ruin. Adil claimed that this was my sin."

"Killing pagans is not a sin!"

"This is the honor of the Duke!"

Before Lothar finished speaking, the Crusaders started to clamor.

Lothar shook his head. His body, which had been lying for a long time, was a little tired just by this movement.

But he felt surprisingly good.

This real and true feeling is really missed.

Everything in the memory world, no matter how vivid it is, is fake, after all.

He woke up this morning, and the timing of waking up was just right.

The fight with the ghost dragon soul was no longer a problem after he woke up.

The weapons created by modern society have far exceeded the limits of what the magical Middle Ages could deal with. Even if the ghost dragon's will was completely awakened and a group of ancient dragon species were summoned, it was still no match for a Dongfeng Express.

It's just that the ghost dragon's soul is much stronger than him. After a long tug-of-war, the ghost dragon's soul was finally completely crushed by him and turned into his own nutrients. The progress of the [Dragon Blood Bath] milestone has also moved forward one step.

"Everyone, this is the Saracens's statement that is reversed black and white."

Lothar began to slowly tell the truth of the matter. Although war will kill people and there will be many unnecessary casualties, he still hopes to reduce the number of casualties to the best of his ability. He doesn't want the saying that "killing pagans is not murder, but a path to salvation" to continue to be rampant.

The Kingdom of Heaven in his mind should not be a colonial regime dominated by the Franks.

"I said that the evil magic that turns people into evil spirits is definitely not what you would cast."

"These pagans are so hateful. In order to kill Lord Lothar, they even sacrificed half of their own people in the city!"

"No wonder! I heard before that it was a dragon that destroyed the city of Rashid. As we all know, the Saracens also drove a dragon in the Battle of Galilee. I think it was because the dragon got out of control."

"That's right. Dragons are brutal by nature. How can they be tamed? The Saracens also shot themselves in the foot!"

The Crusaders quickly accepted this statement.

Immediately, someone thought naturally: "If it weren't for the Duke, wouldn't this disaster that destroyed Rashid befall us?"

"It was God's will that saved the Crusaders again!"

"Saint Lothar!"

The cheers of the people were deafening.

Losa glanced at Philip, who had calmed down and smiled gently, and nodded with a smile: "Your Majesty, please continue with today's election. This is the most important thing at the moment. As I just said, the Saracens are not so easy to deal with. Tens of thousands of people in a city have been killed or injured by their evil spells. Such an enemy requires us to unite."

Even Philip, who is so well-educated, can't help but have the urge to curse at this time.

If you want to vote, then vote. I'm ready to be a background board. Do you still want me to announce the result of your election?

The result is self-evident.

Losa was elected with an absolute advantage, or retained the position of the Grand Marshal of the Crusades. According to the agreement of the kings, even Baldwin IV, Philip II, and Richard I, the three kings, must obey Lothar's decision after this military meeting.

From a legal perspective, he has become the undisputed supreme commander of this Crusade.

You activated the milestone: above the king. (There are at least three lords with kingdom-level titles in your command sequence)

You have successfully completed the milestone: Above the King. (In front of you, even if you are a king, you have to bow your head and obey your orders. Even if it is limited to this war, you still briefly hold the authority above the king)

You have received rewards: Emperor Ring, blank combat record.

Emperor Ring: The legitimacy of your rule has increased significantly. In battle, except for the Pope and monarchs with emperor-level titles, you can arbitrarily designate a magic item to seal the opponent (excluding legendary items and high-level artifacts).

Evaluation: In the Catholic world, there are only the Pope and the Emperor above the King, but from today on, you will be added to the two. Even if this is only a temporary authority, it is still enough to be recorded in history.

(Many people think that the title of emperor is just a translation problem, and is actually no more noble than the king.

Here is an example to refute: the Duchy of Bohemia was recognized by the emperor and the pope and upgraded to a kingdom.

Lothar played the role of the Duke of Burgundy Philip the Good and his son Charles the Bold, who also tried to seek the emperor's canonization to integrate the titles in their territory into a powerful kingdom.

In later generations, the Elector of Brandenburg also supported the emperor in the war against France in exchange for the title of "King in Prussia".

These are enough to prove that the status of the emperor is higher than that of the king. The King of Gaul was also on an equal footing with the Holy Roman Emperor in 1204 after Pope Innocent III announced that the King of Gaul did not recognize any secular authority higher than him.)

As for the reward for killing a ghost dragon:

You killed a ghost-type high-level dragon, your dragon blood awakening degree is greatly improved, and your mental power attribute is permanently increased by thirty.

You have seized two talents of the "Ghost Dragon": 1: Immortality of Soul: Your soul's tenacity has been greatly improved, and you will have at least 30% and up to complete immunity to any attack on the soul level.

2: Your talent "Breath of Karelian Fire Dragon" will gain additional soul-level lethality.

Your dragon blood awakening degree has increased, and your half-dragon ability has been enhanced - Dragonization.

You can now temporarily stimulate your blood power and show a truly unique dragon posture.

Note: You can also choose to continue using the half-dragon ability, and the consumption is greatly reduced.

Although this confrontation with the ghost dragon on the soul level is dangerous, the benefits it brings are also extremely rich.

Although he has not tried his dragon posture yet, he is very sure that after he transforms into a dragon, he will at least be a high-level dragon species, but he doesn't know whether he will be in youth or adulthood by then.

Lothar took a deep breath and announced: "Brothers of Christ, the decisive battle with the Saracens is coming. From today on, the entire army will be on combat readiness and return to camp to wait!"

"I swear in the name of the Father, I will bring victory to you, as always!"

"Long live!"

"Victory will belong to us!"

The thunderous cheers pushed the morale of the Crusaders to the peak.
