The military camp was noisy.
Seeing this scene, Luo Yi's face sank and he shouted,"Silence!"
With Luo Yi's shout, all the noise suddenly stopped. The entire military camp fell silent in an instant.
All the captives looked at Luo Yi in fear, not even daring to breathe loudly.
Luo Yi was in charge of suppressing 200,000 captives. In the beginning, he had killed many people to make them obedient. All the captives were afraid of him to the bone.
Li Chengdao nodded slightly, very satisfied with Luo Yi's management efficiency.
Then, he looked at Queen Sophia beside him.
Without him saying anything, Queen Sophia knew that it was time for her to step in.
After organizing her words in her heart, she took a step forward and said seriously,"Brave warriors of the Church, I am Sophia.”
" My father, the previous Pope Peter X, has completed the mission that God gave him. Now, I have taken over the position of Pope from him.”
"After the coronation of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, I am now the new Pope of the Church!”
Queen Sophia's words were like a huge rock that instantly set off a huge wave among the captives!
"Pope Peter has stepped down?”
"How is it possible that Queen Sophia is the new Pope? Although she was a saintess, how could a woman become the pope?”
"What happened during this period of time?”
"This is impossible! This must be fake news!"
"Even the golden scepter that symbolizes the power of the Pope is in her hands. She really is the new Pope!”
.........
The captives were imprisoned in the captive camp and were completely isolated from the outside world.
Therefore, these captives of the Crusade Army of the Holy See were completely unaware of what had happened during this period of time.
In their impression, the Pope was still Peter X.
Now, they were suddenly told that the Pope had changed, and it was a woman. One could imagine how shocked they were, and even found it unbelievable!
After a while, the Crusader captives finally accepted this fact.
Soon, the captives knelt down in front of Queen Sophia and saluted her with the highest knight's salute.
"Greetings, Your Holiness! We are willing to pledge our loyalty to you!"
"I am willing to offer my life to His Holiness the Pope!”
"Long live His Holiness the Pope!"
.........
The Crusader captives kept kneeling and saluting Queen Sophia.
Although they could not believe that the pope had been replaced, Sophia was the former queen, the saintess, and the daughter of the former pope.
Therefore, it was not unacceptable for her to become the new Pope.
Most importantly, the Crusaders were the most loyal warriors who were completely loyal to the Pope!
"Your Holiness, are you here to free us?”
A Crusader looked at Queen Sophia and asked excitedly.
They had been imprisoned for more than two months. Now that they had suddenly seen the Pope whom they were loyal to, they naturally saw him as their hope!
"I…"
Queen Sophia wanted to say no, but when she looked up, she saw thousands of pairs of eyes full of expectation and hope.
Under these gazes filled with the desire for freedom, she could not say what she wanted to say.
At this moment, a certain voice suddenly sounded beside her."That's right, your Pope is here to give you freedom.”
Queen Sophia turned to look at Li Chengdao, her eyes full of surprise.
Li Chengdao was the one who said that!
Li Chengdao ignored Queen Sophia's gaze and said to the captives,""You are all my defeated opponents, my captives. I wanted to take your lives.”
"But after Pope Sophia discussed with me, I changed my mind and decided to give you freedom.”
All the captives were stunned and looked at each other.
If Queen Sophia said that, they would definitely believe her.
But when Li Chengdao said this, they did not dare to believe it at all!
They were enemies of Great Qian Empire and were captured in the end. Their hands were stained with the blood of the soldiers of Great Qian Empire!
So how could he let them go!
Even Queen Sophia was baffled.
When did she discuss this with Li Chengdao?
What did Li Chengdao want to do, and why did he announce it in her name?
Queen Sophia couldn't guess what Li Chengdao was thinking, and her heart was full of doubts.
Faced with many doubtful or fearful gazes, Li Chengdao's expression was calm as he said in a clear voice,"Although you were once enemies with me, that was only because your positions were different. It was not your fault.”
"But even so, you still bear the sins on your bodies. Do you want to wash away these sins and obtain freedom?”
Faced with Li Chengdao's question, almost all the captives had a look of desire in their eyes and nodded subconsciously.
They had been imprisoned for two months. Although they had not been tortured, the pain of losing their freedom and the fear of not knowing their future had long been unbearable!
"Very good! Now you have a chance, a chance to wash away your sins, to obtain freedom, and even glory!”
Li Chengdao waved his sleeves, his expression extremely serious.
"In two months, I will lead my troops to the east! If you are willing to fight for me and the empire, not only will you be free, you will also be honored!”
"As long as you obtain military merits in the Eastern Expedition, I can promise that those who do so will be able to get rid of their status as prisoners and even be promoted to Holy Knights or even become the Pope's personal guards!”
"If you make a great contribution, not only will the Church reward you, but you will also be rewarded by the Empire!”
"Now that the choice is before you, are you willing to fight for the Empire and the Pope?”
Li Chengdao's vigorous voice reached the ears of all the captives.
After listening to his words, Queen Sophia finally understood what Li Chengdao wanted to do.
He wanted these 200,000 captives to become his warriors!
Almost instantly, Queen Sophia understood why Li Chengdao brought her here.
After a moment of hesitation, she made a decision and said in a clear voice,"Warriors of the Holy Church, are you willing to fight for me and the empire?”
At first, many soldiers were still hesitating.
However, after Queen Sophia said this, they immediately made a decision.
"We are willing to fight for His Holiness!”
"Long live the Pope! I swear my loyalty to His Holiness the Pope!"
"Swear loyalty to His Holiness the Pope!"
.........
One by one, the Crusaders knelt down, and loud cheers resounded throughout the entire camp!
