Chapter 1645: Current Situation

At this time, on the European battlefield.

After Marie had several encounters with Douglas, Douglas became deeply infatuated with this woman named Marie.

Toward Marie, he had a kind of obsession.

He was hopelessly in love with her.

Her wildness, her sexiness, her charm, everything about her.

All made Douglas obsessed.

For her, Douglas reduced the time he spent commanding his army, and even let the Holy Cross Army fall into decay.

Some soldiers and officers might even frequent places like Red Romance, where streetwalkers gathered.

Although the Bible calls this kind of desire a sin, and one of the eighteen layers of Hell is a prison built for this desire.

But these Crusaders did not care, and even claimed that they did this to cleanse the sins of these streetwalkers.

Using their own essence to purify the places of their sins.

But regarding such claims, the Protestants in the Hanover region, while praying, spat upon these bastards from Hell, who even dared to call themselves the Holy Cross Army, the army of the Lord.

To the Crusaders, they were merely exercising their power as the Lord's representatives in another way.

After a night of so-called intimacy, Douglas had not yet recovered from the heavy injuries he sustained in the previous battle against the Longyan army and the Prussian army.

So he could only look, but could not act.

Every time Marie saw Douglas, he would be scratching his head and ears, and his heart would be itching uncontrollably.

But there was not the slightest Method.

However, usually when dealing with this situation of his own, Douglas generally would not take the virginity of the women he chose in a cruel way.

The more Douglas heard their painful wails, the more excited he became.

And the more he felt that his dignity as a man had not been lost.

But for Marie, the woman who obsessed him, Douglas did not do such a stupid thing.

He wanted to wait until his wounds healed to personally conquer this wild woman in bed.

Marie was picked up by Douglas to his mansion again today; on the way, through the Horse Carriage, she clearly heard the sounds of the Crusaders kidnapping Prussian girls outside.

Marie's brows were tightly furrowed, her face twisted.

The scene of her home being destroyed, her parents being killed, and herself being captured by bandits resurfaced before her eyes.

Her parents fought the bandits to the death, finally falling in a pool of blood.

Her younger brother's crying resounded through the sky; the bandits thought the child was too noisy and took his life with a single gunshot.

She herself should have died too, but because she had a beautiful face, she was taken a fancy to by the bandits and forcibly abducted!

Thinking of all this, Marie's face was very ugly; she stared at the other Crusaders sitting inside the Horse Carriage and said coldly, "Stop the carriage!"

The Crusader responsible for the escort frowned slightly and said, "Respected Miss Marie, we have not yet reached General Douglas's General's Mansion; stopping now might lead to unnecessary trouble."

"I said stop the carriage!" Marie said with a firm attitude.

"Do you intend to defy my will?"

The Crusaders did not take orders from Marie; toward this woman, their gazes were greedy, and in their eyes, she was merely a plaything of General Douglas.

Once the General grew tired of playing with her, they would also get a chance.

But for now, she was still the General's woman, so at most they could only take a few more looks, and other thoughts could only be suppressed in the bottom of their hearts.

"Sorry, the General's order is to deliver you safely to the mansion; we cannot stop."

Marie did not hesitate in the slightest and pulled out the hairpin from her hair; this was a gift from General Douglas, said to be a decoration of the Longyan people.

It was exceptionally beautiful, but very sharp.

The Crusaders in the Horse Carriage were stunned by Marie's action, and immediately grasped the Knight Sword at their waists.

But the next second, Marie's action left them astonished.

The sharp end of the hairpin was pressed by Marie against her own neck.

With just a little force, Marie's fair neck would inevitably be stained with blood.

She said coldly, "General Douglas said to let you protect my safety; if a single scratch appears on my body, you can just wait to be held accountable."

Marie was about to apply force, and the group was startled, hurriedly shouting, "Stop the carriage!"

The Coachman heard the roar inside, was slightly stunned, but without too many thoughts, he immediately brought the speeding Horse Carriage to a halt.

After the Horse Carriage stopped steadily, Marie got off the carriage before putting the hairpin away.

The Crusaders looked at the woman wearing a fiery red cheongsam, their hearts shocked by her actions just now.

Truly a wild woman, actually using her own life to force them to stop the Horse Carriage.

This was simply using her life as a gamble.

No wonder General Douglas would fall in love with such a woman; she had more desire to be conquered than those weak, so-called Noble women.

After getting off the carriage, Masha looked at the Prussian woman being dragged by the Crusaders and immediately rushed forward.

She delivered a slap.

She rescued this woman from the hands of the Crusaders and shielded her in front of herself.

The Crusader who took the slap was immediately enraged and picked up the Knight Sword in his hand, his killing intent surging, but after seeing Marie's appearance, he changed his thought of killing her to making her his target for the day.

"You damn bitch, do you know what you just did!"

"It seems you are also a heretic and should be purified!"

A lecherous smile appeared on the soldier's face, and he was about to pounce to tear Marie and that woman to pieces in the street.

Just at this moment, those Crusaders who were guarding Marie's safety rushed forward and immediately subdued this Crusader who had harmed their mission target.

"Bastard, what are you doing? Do you know she is General Douglas's woman, and you still dare to call her a bitch!"

After hearing this, the soldier was stunned for a moment, and was immediately slapped awake by the Crusaders.

However, he was not in the French Army; he was a captain in the army of another country, and he felt little sense of identification with Douglas, a French man, even though he was currently under his command.

Watching these Crusaders from the Holy Cross Army dare to take action against him.

The soldier suddenly shouted angrily: "I am capturing heretics; purifying these heretics is our goal this time. General Douglas's woman, she is actually protecting a heretic!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd exhaled, looking at the person being protected behind Marie, who was a Prussian woman, merely a commoner.

In an instant, they understood what this soldier was trying to do.

These Crusaders drew the Knight Swords from their waists and said coldly:

"Miss, please step aside and do not hinder the Holy Cross Army from eliminating heretics; this is our duty."

Marie did not yield an inch, but she knew that even she could not stop these Crusaders from eliminating heretics, as this was the purpose of their journey.

If she were to intervene, she would be guilty of the same crime as the heretics.

And the fate of heretics, without exception, was death.
