Steel, Guns and the Industrial Party Across the World Chapter 484

"What happened?"

When Marquis Joe Foster came to the border post as the person in charge of receiving the Holy See envoy, he was shocked by the sight before him.

A corpse—a Confederate militiaman, apparently—has been hung upside down from a watchtower, swaying in the wind.

Several other men dressed as militiamen were also killed and randomly discarded under the tower.

And under the watchtower, there are three church knights holding sharp blades.

They were all ready to fight, the swords in their hands reflected the cold light under the sunlight.

After seeing the Marquis of Foster coming, a knight drove his horse to a place more than ten meters away from him.

Marquis Foster spoke first: "I am Joe Foster, a member of the council, and I need a reasonable explanation."

He frowned tightly, and his shoulders trembled slightly, obviously trying to restrain his excitement.

provocative! This is a serious provocation.

The special envoy of the Holy See ran to the land of the Jiaowan Alliance in the name of negotiations and killed the militiamen of the Alliance.

This behavior is both deceptive and insulting.

"Marquis Foster!"

The knight near him spoke, and Foster couldn't see his face because of his visored helmet.

"I am ordered to stay in this sinful place to inform you that the despicable and shameless actions of the Jiaowan Alliance have completely envied the Jiaowan Church and the Holy See, and we will regard it as the most serious insult and provocation! Next you and your poor Allies will face the most severe punishment from the church."

What? It is simply unreasonable!

For a moment, Marquis Foster thought it was ridiculous. You ran to our territory and killed people, and you said we were provoking.

But he still asked patiently: "I don't know what the provocation this knight is talking about? Let me guess, you are saying that our militiamen did not obediently wait for death when facing your butcher knife and chose to resist. , and in your eyes, this is a provocation, right?"

"Marquis Foster? Are you still pretending to be a lake?"

asked the knight very sadly.

"I'm pretending to be a lake?" Marquis Foster heard that the knight's grief and indignation did not appear to be disguised, and he had doubts again in his heart.

The knight shouted and asked: "Isn't it that the Horn Bay Alliance sent killers to ambush here and brutally killed the special envoy of the Holy See, Lord Leadbetter?"

"What did you say?"

Foster couldn't believe his ears, Leadbetter... was killed?

But is it the hands of the people on your side?

"If you didn't hear clearly, let me say it again, Master Leadbetter was brutally killed by the killers of the Horn Bay Alliance, in that small room."

The knight pointed his whip at the hut where Leadbetter had rested before.

"Of course, I guess you know the whole story better than me in your heart, because this was originally your evil plan."

Things are getting bigger!

Marquis Joe Foster felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

He wasn't afraid of the coming war, but this kind of thing happened before the war started. If the **** pot was locked up, the Horn Bay Alliance would be in a rather disadvantageous position morally.

Foster said eagerly: "Lebetter is here... Where is Leadbetter's body? I want to see, there must be something wrong with it."

The knight dismissed it, and said angrily: "How can Lord Leadbetter's body stay here and continue to be desecrated by you sinners? He has already been taken to Collins."

Foster retorted: "There must be something wrong with this, Your Excellency, I ask you to find your sanity as an apostle knight, just imagine, under the current situation, what good will it do us to kill the envoy of the Holy See. If We want to negotiate, so the serious consequences of killing the special envoy needless to say, and if we want to go to war, killing the special envoy will not allow us to win immediately, but will arouse your common hatred, so, no matter what, we did not kill Leadbetter's motive."

"You guys are still making excuses!"

The knight's anger could almost be sprayed out through the mask in front of the helmet into flames.

He held the hilt of the sword tightly, and his body tensed up due to the accumulation of energy, as if he would stab the sharp sword in his hand fiercely in the next second.

The marquis' guards noticed the change in the knight, and there was a clang sound, and they also drew their swords to prevent the angry knight from attacking their master.

After all, the knight did not do anything, but said: "Our people saw with your own eyes that your killer stabbed the criminal poisonous dagger into the back of the special envoy. The facts are beyond doubt. You despicable people in power must have deceived you!" Those citizens who are still willing to follow the correct path of belief are afraid that Mr. Leadbetter will come to expose your lies, so they use the despicable and shameless means of assassination."

The knight has already decided that what he thinks is the truth.

Foster was about to defend his side, but the knight he was speaking to gave a rude wave.

"Okay, Marquis of Foster, I don't have the patience to waste time talking with you here. The Almighty Heavenly Father has already learned about some evils, and you will definitely pay the price for your despicableness. Brothers, let's go back to our lives first. .”

After saying this, the knight shook the reins violently, and the horse under his crotch turned around and ran to the distance of the trade road.

The other two knights also urged their own cars to follow the previous knight.

What they left for Marquis Foster was just a trail of smoke and dust.

Joe Foster was livid.

Who exactly planned the assassination.

He did not doubt that what the knight said—that is, that Leadbetter was killed—was false.

Leadbetter is a senior priest in charge of diplomacy in the Holy See. It would be a joke if the Jiaowan Church or the Holy See obtained an excuse to start a war or occupy the moral high ground by fabricating the killing of such a high-status figure.

So Leadbetter should have been killed without a doubt~www.mtlnovel.com~ Then who did it?

Angle Bay Church? Chances are, it's full of raving lunatics.

Hardliners on the side of the alliance or allied countries? There is also the possibility that many people have been preparing for this war for a long time, just waiting to take advantage of the chaos to make a fortune.

Those landlocked countries that support the Horn Church? The biggest possibility is them. The inland people have always coveted the wealth of the coast, and they have always wanted to pull the banner of the church to plunder the wealth of the coast.

Ah, now is not the time to reason about this, the council should be notified immediately.

After all, war is about to break out soon.

Filled with suspicion, Marquis Foster whipped his mount severely, and the horse whimpered in pain, and galloped away in the same direction with all four hooves.

The Marquis' attendants followed closely.

People on both sides left.

Only the speechless corpses of the militiamen remained, hanging upside down from the tower, dangling in the wind.
