Chapter 488: Questioning

"What happened?"

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

A corpse - it looked like a militiaman dressed as an alliance member - was hung upside down on the watchtower, swaying in the wind.

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

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

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

After seeing the arrival of Marquis Foster, 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 Senate, and I need a reasonable explanation."

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

provocative! This is a serious provocation.

In the name of negotiation, the Holy See's envoys went to the land of the Corner Bay League and killed the League's militiamen.

This behavior is both deceptive and insulting.

"Marquis Foster!"

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

"I am ordered to stay in this sinful place to inform you that the despicable behavior of the Corner Bay Alliance has completely envy the Corner Bay Church and the Holy See. We will regard it as the most serious insult and provocation! Next, you and your poor people Allies will face the most severe punishment from the church.”

What? This is simply unreasonable!

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

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

"Marquis Foster? Are you still pretending to be confused now?"

asked the knight with great sorrow and indignation.

"Am I pretending to be confused?" Marquis Foster heard that the knight's grief and anger did not seem to be fake, and he had doubts in his heart again.

The knight shouted loudly and asked: "Didn't the Horned Bay Alliance send killers to ambush here and brutally kill the Holy See's special envoy, Mr. Leadbetter?"

"What did you say?"

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

But was it someone on his own side who did it?

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

The knight pointed with his riding crop to the hut where Leadbetter had rested.

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

Things are getting serious!

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

It's not that he is afraid of the upcoming war, but if something like this happens before the war begins, if the shit basin is tightly secured, then the Horned Bay Alliance will be in a quite disadvantageous position morally.

Foster said eagerly: "He is Leadbetter...where is Leadbetter's body? I want to see, there must be something wrong inside."

The knight was dismissive and said angrily: "How can Lord Leadbetter's body be left here and continue to be desecrated by you sinners? He has been taken to Collins."

Foster retorted: "There must be something wrong here. Sir Knight, I ask you to find your reason as a guardian knight. Just imagine, in this situation, what benefit does killing the Holy See envoy do to us. If We want to negotiate. Needless to say, killing the special envoy will have serious consequences. And if we want to start a war, killing the special envoy will not allow us to win immediately. Instead, it will arouse your common hatred. Therefore, no matter what, we did not kill the special envoy. Leadbetter’s motives.”

"You are still making excuses!"

The knight's anger can almost turn into flames through the visor in front of the helmet.

He held the hilt of the sword tightly, and his body tensed up from accumulating strength, as if he would thrust out the sword with all his strength in the next second.

The Marquis' guards noticed the knight's change, and with a clang sound, they also drew their swords to prevent the angry knight from attacking their master.

After all, the knight did not take action, but said: "Our people saw with our own eyes that your killer stabbed the evil poisonous dagger into the back of the special envoy. The fact is unquestionable. You despicable people in power must have deceived you." Those citizens who were still willing to follow the path of correct belief were afraid that Lord Leadbetter would come to expose your lies, so they resorted to despicable means like assassination.”

The knight has determined that what he thinks is the truth.

Forster was about to defend his side, but the knight he was speaking to waved his hand roughly.

"Okay, Marquis Foster, I don't have the patience to waste time talking to you here. Almighty Heavenly Father has already understood some sins, and you will definitely pay the price for your despicability. Brothers, let's go back and recover first. ”

After saying this, the knight shook the reins hard, and the horse turned around and ran towards the far side of the trade road.

The other two knights also drove their cars and followed the previous knight.

All they left for Marquis Forster was a trail of smoke.

There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!

…

Joe Foster's face was livid.

Who planned this assassination?

He had no doubt that the knight's words - that is, the murder of Leadbetter - were false.

Leadbetter was a senior priest in charge of diplomacy in the Holy See. If the Horn Bay Church or the Holy See fabricated the murder of such a high-ranking figure to gain an excuse to start a war or occupy the moral high ground, it would be a joke.

So Leadbetter must have been killed without a doubt.

Who did it?

The Horn Bay Church? There is a great possibility that it is full of fanatical lunatics.

The hardliners on the side of the alliance or allied countries? There is also such a possibility. Many people have been preparing for this war for a long time, just waiting to make a fortune in the chaos.

Those inland countries that support the Horn Bay Church? The biggest possibility is them. The inland people have always coveted the wealth of the coastal areas. They have always wanted to use the banner of the church to plunder the wealth of the coastal areas.

Ah, now is not the time to reason about these things. We must notify the Council immediately.

After all, the war was about to break out.

Full of suspicion, Lord Foster whipped his horse hard, and the horse screamed in pain and ran away in the opposite direction.

The Marquis's servants followed closely.

People from both sides left.

Only the silent bodies of the militiamen were left hanging upside down on the tower, swaying in the wind.
