Chapter 1576: Exposure

The two guards gripped the long spears in their hands, hesitating for a long time.

They were refugees now; in Prague, many refugees died every day.

What did it matter if one or two more of them died?

But the identities of the three of them were special; they were Councilors.

If they killed them and this matter were leaked, they would surely die, and if they returned to Vienna, their fate would not be very good either.

The Priest's seductive voice sounded again: "Although I don't know how this Councilor fell to the point of becoming a refugee."

"But, if they return alive, think about your own fate."

"Within the Holy Cross Army, there have appeared those who betrayed the Lord."

"They will be subjected to death by fire; that ending sounds..."

"..."

The expressions of the two changed; that was a punishment used by Catholicism only for heretics, and the two of them had once executed such heretics themselves.

They had seen with their own eyes those people buried in a sea of fire.

Those heretics let out ear-piercing screams in the sea of fire, which they would never forget in their entire lives.

Thinking of these things, and thinking of the fate they might suffer, their expressions suddenly turned cold.

A look of terror appeared on the faces of the two of them.

Seeing the two reveal expressions of fear, a trace of imperceptible amusement flashed in the Priest's eyes.

"What is the decision you want to make now?"

The two struggled in their eyes for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Priest, we know what to do; they are just refugees now."

The two members of the Holy Cross Army had already labeled Liangduo and his party of three as dead in their hearts.

Kill them.

The Priest patted their shoulders: "Don't be so nervous; what kind of Councilor would look like a refugee? The badge in their hands was perhaps stolen."

"As members of the Holy Cross Army, what you need to do is punish such people."

The two calmed their hearts, and no longer had the slightest hesitation about killing Liangduo.

Seeing the determined expressions revealed by the two, the Priest also set his mind at ease.

According to his knowledge, Councilors had indeed been sent from Vienna to Prague, but on the way, the Councilor along with the other two had all disappeared.

And these three refugees holding a Councilor's badge was highly suspicious.

Regardless of whether they were truly Councilors, from the moment they offended him, they had to die.

He was a holy Priest of Catholicism and would absolutely not allow anyone to know his ugly side.

Letting these two Priests go kill them was the best choice; even if something went wrong when they acted,

no one would blame it on him.

Thinking of this, the smile on the Priest's face grew thicker.

At this time, on the other side of Europe.

Ling Chen cleared the road to Berlin and took Little Peter to Berlin.

Frederick II personally received this Great General from Longyan, Ling Chen, and gave him the highest standard of treatment.

"Respected Frederick II, I represent Chief Minister Liu Zheng of Longyan in greeting you." Ling Chen bowed slightly.

Frederick II supported Ling Chen and laughed: "Also greet Chief Minister Liu Zheng for me; thanks to him, we have not been destroyed by the enemy now."

Frederick II looked at Ling Chen with excitement; although he was in Berlin, he was very clear about the major events happening on the European battlefield, especially this troop led by Ling Chen.

With only two hundred thousand Longyan troops, they dared to fight all the way from Austria to the Prussian border, forcing Austria to withdraw its troops to prevent being defeated one by one by Prussia.

With Ling Chen here, their western battlefield in Prussia would absolutely not be broken.

Thinking of this, Frederick II was filled with gratitude. At the banquet, Frederick II raised his wine glass to toast,

saying:

"A toast to our hero of Prussia."

A group of Prussian ministers raised the wine glasses in their hands and drank the red wine in one gulp.

Ling Chen looked at the wine in the glass emitting a bright red color; he did not know what this was, but when in Rome, do as the Romans do, and Ling Chen did not refuse Frederick II's enthusiasm.

He displayed the boldness of a Longyan general and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

After drinking, he looked at the wine glass, his expression changing slightly; this red thing was actually quite good to drink.

It had a taste of grapes.

Frederick II noticed the change in Ling Chen's expression and whispered to him: "Ling Chen, I am sorry; I don't know if you are used to our wine here."

Ling Chen looked at Frederick II and laughed: "I am very satisfied, I just don't know what this wine is called."

"This is wine, considered a specialty of our Europe; these wines are also known as the blood of the Lord..."

Frederick II was a very talkative person; throughout the entire banquet, Frederick II mobilized the atmosphere of the whole room.

The banquet was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Little Peter also sat with Ling Chen; seeing the heroic appearance of Frederick II at the banquet, he, who originally did not like to talk and was somewhat weak, also joined in the noise for a while.

After the banquet, everyone gathered in the conference hall.

Ling Chen looked at Frederick II; on his right hand side was also a blonde, blue-eyed child.

Frederick II felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy when he saw him; this child looked just like the legendary German, Frederick's ancestor.

Frederick II beckoned to him, and the child actually walked over on his own initiative.

Seeing this scene, Ling Chen was stunned.

He had not spent much time with him, but he had never seen him be this intimate with anyone other than Diana.

Frederick II rubbed his head and asked, "General Ling Chen, who is this child?"

"Your Majesty, it is like this..." Ling Chen recounted what had happened before once more.

After listening, Frederick II frowned; a German Noble inside the Swedish Army camp?

It is true that Prussia is now a nation of the German people, so there is a particularly large number of German Nobles, and Frederick II did not know which family had lost a child.

"Let's do this: this child will stay with me for now, to see if we can find his family."

Ling Chen nodded; he had been thinking the same thing, as it was indeed inconvenient for him to have a child with him in the military camp.

Leaving him with Frederick II was the best choice.

After Little Peter was properly settled,

Ling Chen looked at Frederick II and said in a deep voice, "I have other matters to discuss with Your Majesty this time."

"Currently, our Dragon Flame Army is stationed in Hanover, but we are short on ammunition, and we need Prussia's support."

When this matter was brought up, everyone's expression darkened slightly.

A heavy atmosphere permeated the conference hall.

Frederick II sighed and looked at Ling Chen: "General Ling Chen, it is not that I do not want to agree, it is just that in the current situation, we do not have much ammunition either."

Ling Chen naturally knew Prussia's current predicament, so he said, "I understand, which is why I hope to use Prussia's current Factory facilities to convert them into weapon manufacturing plants and establish transport lines."
