Crusade against the Pope

Chapter 89 Music

Chapter 89 Music
The autumn wind whistled through the valley, blowing up the dead leaves on the ground. The sound of the light cavalry's horses' hooves echoed in the valley, interweaving with the sound of the wind, playing a sad overture.

Is it nervous for these Turkic light cavalry?

Of course there were. Just a moment ago, their swords and spears passed through the man's body but failed to hurt him at all.

A moment ago, the man announced to them: Allah has granted me this, and He has made everything in the world swear that it will not harm me.

What if what that person said was true? That would be too horrifying.

I just hope that the previous scene was just a trick of the elves.

In Islamic culture, jinn are rather special beings, they are considered to be supernatural beings with free will, which means they can choose to do good or evil.

If humans are made of clay and angels are made of light, then elves are made of smokeless flame.

It’s understandable that ordinary swords and knives can’t hurt elves, right?
Evil spirits can cause fear, chaos, or insanity, but usually indirectly.

Many Muslims present had never heard of a jinn directly murdering a human being...

Of course, most people don’t realize too many things in such a short period of time.

They just blindly followed the cavalry captain in the front and charged towards the young man with light blond hair.

The autumn light sprinkled on Garys's hair, creating a halo that froze the world.

The sound of the horses' hooves blended with the sound of the wind, and the tune they played seemed a little ethereal to Gailis.

What should have been a rapid and unstable realistic melody in seven or eight beats was simplified to a minimalist style of four or one beats by Garris.

The cry "Let there be light" at the beginning of creation was the melody of creation. To this day, human beings are just trapped in a short section of it.

Gaillis caught the change in the rhythm of the beat. His view of the world was no longer the same as that of ordinary people since that rainy night.

Therefore, when he swung his sword, the others could only look in shock.

They subconsciously wanted to avoid Garys, and they tried to swing their swords to stop him, but the inconsistency in rhythm made it too late for them.

When these dozen light cavalry passed by Garys.

One warhorse had its head chopped off, two horses had their front hooves cut off, and three riders had their heads blown off.

Elf?

Can the elves kill people? Can they kill people as skillfully as these Franks?

Those who survived looked horrified as they crossed paths with Garys.

They witnessed with their own eyes that the sword slashed at an incredible speed. They witnessed with their own eyes that the devil-like figure cut off the horse's head, chopped off the horse's hooves, and cut off the head of a person in an instant...

Suddenly, several scarlet roses bloomed here.

And the protagonist on the stage was still walking alone, leaving only his back to Mach and the others.

Whether the prophet is true or not, it doesn’t really matter at this point.

Whether it is Maher or Yasir, they may believe in the existence of Allah, but most of them disdain the various precepts of Islam.

These people no longer care about the outcome of the afterlife and only pursue a carefree life in this life.

But when the truly powerful ones showed them another side of the world, they couldn't help but fall into panic.

But they couldn't help but panic.

When those frightened cavalrymen refused to rein in their horses and instead galloped away.

The spearmen at the valley entrance retreated, revealing a whole row of archers.

Ma He, who saw this scene, naturally knew that he had been exposed long ago and was ambushed.

He roared and ordered: "Crossbows are coming, everyone take cover!"

As soon as he finished his order, more than thirty arrows were fired from a hundred meters away, flew over his head and landed in the convoy.

The volley of arrows from more than thirty people certainly could not be called an overwhelming rain of arrows, but the occasional dull sound of arrows piercing through flesh still made this group of people feel panic.

But at this point, Mach didn't think there was any way out, and he hurriedly ordered everyone in the convoy to go into combat mode.

When the coverings on the carriages at the back were lifted, the weapons and armor hidden inside were revealed, as well as a large number of infantry soldiers who had been ready.

Amid the continuous barrage of arrows, the fully armed heavy infantry began to gather.

Unlike the others who were shot and fled in panic, the arrows caused almost no damage to the armored soldiers.

They assembled calmly and lined up without panic.

The appearance of these soldiers stabilized the Turkic front and made the originally panicked bandits gradually calm down. After putting on their armor and finding their weapons, they gradually formed a formation.

The current battle situation has forced Mach to forget the previous scene. After all, in this environment where arrows are constantly falling, how to kill the enemy and how to survive are the top priorities.

But considering that the valley entrance was filled with spearmen, it would be difficult to break through the enemy's front line by relying solely on heavy infantry in hand-to-hand combat.

The width of the entire valley entrance is limited. Even though Mach has an advantage in the number of soldiers, he cannot deploy his troops. In the end, he will have to resort to the tactic of adding fuel to the fire.

Mach was certain that he was doomed to fail.

Because the soldiers under his command were essentially bandits who came together for the purpose of making money.

Only by surviving can you enjoy the good life brought by getting rich.

Therefore, those guys might dare to fight bravely for a while, and they could pursue and kill to expand the victory, but once they got into a hard fight, their morale would collapse. The other side was using spears to form a formation, and in a head-on confrontation, it was obvious that the longer the spear, the stronger it was. They had to sacrifice their lives to wear down the other side.

In this situation, Mach knew that he had to knock away the forest of spears at all costs, and then rely on the high-morale of his own heavy infantry to drag the enemy into a melee when the enemy's army was in chaos.

But the previous cavalry were no longer useful. Mach looked around and found that the cavalry had already run away.

Fortunately, not all cavalrymen saw the previous scene.

The cavalrymen who were originally behind the caravan had no idea what was happening. They ran away in a flash and did not tell their comrades what had happened before.

Mach ordered the cavalrymen at the rear of the caravan to assemble, and more than seven or eight riders came out.

As for how to boost morale and persuade a group of light cavalry in leather armor to charge, Mach naturally had a way.

"After breaking through the formation, each cavalryman will be rewarded 100 dinars!"

100 dinars, or 425 grams of gold, is about 1 pound of gold! Just to encourage these cavalry to charge!

That was not all he wanted to say. Mach jumped onto a car and kicked open one of the boxes, revealing a pile of gold coins inside!

The sunlight shone on the pile of gold, reflecting a dazzling light, making everyone around see red in the eyes.

Hearing the heavy breathing of the people around him, Mach felt that this battle could still be fought.

"You know what? The tax farmers around here were chopped up by the people in that valley. The wealth accumulated by the tax farmers' families for hundreds of years is piled up in that valley!"

"Go in and kill them! I won't take any of the money or property in the valley. I'll leave it all for you brothers to share!"

"Kill the men in the valley if you want! Sell them if you want! As for the women, do as you wish!"

"After we finish this job, it will be enough for us brothers to eat for three years!"

Mach shouted out one bewitching word after another, stimulating the people around him so much that they felt numb and even the strange visions they had seen before were not that scary anymore.

"Boss! Let's do it!" Yasser, who was standing aside, even though he was injured, still put on his armor, rode his horse and was ready for battle. Behind him were two other heavily armored cavalrymen!
It can be said that Mach brought out the most valuable brothers in his team.

The arrows shot by more than thirty archers were still too weak.

So much so that Mach was able to calmly withstand the arrows and reorganize the team.

When the troops at the valley entrance saw that Mach was ready to attack, they stopped shooting under the order of Old John.

The intentions of both parties are very clear.

For those guys who have been in battle for a long time, it is clear at a glance what the other party wants to do and how they should respond.

In this situation, it is actually a gamble, a gamble on which side's soldiers are more tenacious, and which side's soldiers can fight to the death.

Mach chose to spend money. He described the valley as a treasure land full of gold. He aroused the bestiality of his soldiers, blinding them with the gold and using greed to cover up the panic in their hearts.

As for the valley entrance, Gailis had already walked into the formation alone.

All the soldiers who witnessed the previous miracle scene were thrown into frenzy.

That is the sword that does not hurt you! It is the grace of God that transcends the mundane world!
Garys used miracles time and time again to prove his identity to them.

The soldiers could not help but shout: "Holy! Holy! Holy!"

Garys pressed his hand, signaling everyone present not to cheer yet.

He first put the sword in his hand back into the scabbard, and then took a spear from the servant Russell beside him.

Then Garys squeezed into the gun array, shoulder to shoulder with all the infantrymen.

He and his comrades could see the cavalry under Mach lined up, and the Turkic riders were preparing for an attack.

Gellis looked around and could sense a hint of fear amid the soldiers' frenzy.

So he shouted, "Sing that song! I'll start it!"

【Our God is a strong guarantee】

【The Unshakable Fortress】

【In the torrent of mortal suffering】

He is our helper

【Who is that, you ask? 】
