Chapter 778: The Clash between the Crusader Knights and the Wolf Knights

"Get your gear and prepare your mounts, we're just about to go down the mountain."

Leon led dozens of Texas cowboys. These tough light cavalry had performed very well in previous battles and were highly respected by Charlie and his party.

"Where?"

"Of course it's reconnaissance. We need to find out how many people, guns, and land cruisers the enemy has. Aren't you Mr. Losa's family? Don't you even have this little bit of war experience?"

"If you don't explain clearly, how would I know what to do!"

Charlie was speechless. Although the landship was still a very strange thing in his eyes, over the past few days, he had understood the combat style of this era. By analogy, he understood firearms as more powerful bows and crossbows.

Charlie and several medieval cavalrymen who had been transferred to become Knights Templar and mastered the Seed of Holy Light, all mounted their mounts and galloped across the steel suspension bridge that connected the mountain city to the outside world.

"Mr. Leon, shouldn't we say a prayer first?"

Baron Charles reminded: "Before going to war."

"Pray? To whom?"

Leon felt a little puzzled. They were wolves. Were they praying to Romulus?

"Of course it's Heavenly Father!"

Baron Charles reminded earnestly: "He can protect us and help us survive the hail of bullets."

Leon frowned and said, "Listen, Mr. Baron, I think humans are just like machines, not that different from other mammals, so I never believe that God created humans."

To deny that God created man is to deny the Bible, not to mention other church ideas.

Baron Charles was a little puzzled: "How did you know?"

"I opened it myself. Don't look at me like that. Haven't you ever killed anyone?"

Baron Charles said disdainfully: "I have killed them, but I will not deliberately open their body cavities to look at them. Even if I am sometimes affected by dragon blood, I will not deliberately desecrate the corpses of the dead. This is a sin!"

"But only in this way can death be more meaningful. You have not experienced the Black Death, so you don't understand how terrible the disease is. Holy Light cannot save the plague patients. God, True Father... No one is immune to this. Only by understanding the structure of the human body can we find a way to eliminate the plague."

Leon explained: "Do you remember the field doctors on the battlefield? Without them, how many wounded soldiers do you think would survive? This is the significance of anatomy."

Baron Charles frowned. Bishop Urdin seemed to have put forward a similar idea: "Your physical fitness is different from that of ordinary people. This proves nothing. Moreover, the monks of our order are very good at healing wounds with herbs. Bishop Urdin even cured His Majesty Baldwin of leprosy."

Leon felt like he was talking to a wall: "Forget it. Do you know Darwin?"

"Who is he?"

"He was a scientific scholar at Big Ben. His ideas were known for being unorthodox. When he was alive, there were many debates in the theological circles of London because of his ideas. Many conservative clergymen threatened to burn him at the stake. But I think what he said made sense."

Baron Charles looked suspicious: "What did he say?"

“Humans and monkeys have a common ancestor?”

"Bullshit, you are the one born by a monkey."

Charlie shrugged it off: "This is the second funniest joke I've heard since I came to the New World."

The funniest thing is that “the world is a ball”. If that were true, wouldn’t people fall off?

"You unbelievers who are full of absurd things will go to hell after you die."

The Baron felt sorry for these ignorant "future people".

"Most Texans are nonbelievers. Why, are you also a missionary on the side?"

Leon felt both amused and annoyed. It's not that there is no church in Texas. There are Baptist, Methodist, and even traditional Catholic churches. But in Texas, church power has been completely secularized and turned into a department that presides over weddings, funerals, and festivals.

"I don't have that ability."

He didn't understand why the "Son of God" asked them to help a group of unbelievers: "If Bishop Urdin were here, he would definitely be able to convince you to convert to the true faith."

"In fact, we don't need the bishop you recommend. After listening to your words, we have already decided to convert."

Leon and his group smiled and made the sign of the cross on their chests: "Hallelujah, may God bless us, and may we win the battle and defeat those heretics of the British!"

This slogan obviously fits Baron Charles' aesthetic taste. He shouted "Hallelujah" and spurred his horse to catch up with the group of Texas cowboys.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Now the cavalrymen under Lothar have also taken off their heavy armors. They cannot block the enemy's bullets anyway. Although they can reduce the damage caused by shrapnel, stray bullets and low-powered bullets, their heavy weight is no longer cost-effective.

They now fought with sabers and lances, and carried a few grenades on their saddle bags, but they were clearly not yet used to this new way of fighting.

As for firearms, although they are easy to use, it takes more than a few days to master the Texans' "horse riding and archery skills".

On the tower of Wolfeburg.

"How do you feel here?"

Losa reached out and patted his old friend Elemer on the shoulder: "I heard that you have been getting along well with the Texans recently."

Elemer, who was wiping his gun, was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Indeed, Boss. I like it here. You know, I am a half-wolf. Although I was selected into the Royal Guards by the young lady, the Saluzzo family is still based on bloodline."

As he spoke, the smile on his face gradually faded. "It's different here. When ordinary people see wolves with ears and tails, they don't look down on them or avoid them in fear. Purebloods don't spit at half-bloods with an unlucky look on their faces. No one is born inferior. I really like it here."

Texas is not the Garden of Eden, so naturally there are class divisions. Many key positions have invisible thresholds, and non-wolves or even non-Basilicata people cannot hold these positions. However, equal treatment is generally achieved, which is considered a beacon of democracy in this era.

"If you like it here, stay. I'll talk to the young lady for you. Anyway, you have to have someone stay in the New World as a messenger for both sides. The Saluzzo family also has industries to invest in Texas."

"Forget it."

Although he was somewhat tempted, Elemer still shook his head: "The young lady has been kind to me, and I still want to stay with her. In fact, the situation of the Saluzzo family is not very good now, and the young lady has been very worried over the years."

"Tell me more specifically?"

"There's not much to say. It's just that the Wolf Lord has stepped up the integration of the southern wolf tribe and has not increased his interference in the north. However, the two neighboring countries are becoming more and more tense. Once a war breaks out, the Northern Apennines is likely to become a battlefield. Although many tribesmen want to fight to the death with humans to defend the wolf tribe's homeland, I don't think there is even any chance of winning."

"How can claws and fangs defeat guns and cannons? The entire wolf tribe only has a little over 100,000 people, but any of the great powers can easily raise an army of a million."

Lothar smiled and said, “Times have changed.”

"Yes, times have changed. The wolf tribe can no longer rule the Apennine Peninsula. The people of Basilicata are very smart. In the past, people often thought that Chief Giuliano had lost his wealthy ancestral land and fled to the poor and remote New World, which was like throwing away watermelons for sesame seeds. But now it seems that he was foresighted."

Lothar smiled and said, "How common is your idea among the old wolf tribe?"

Just as Elemer was about to speak, a crisp female voice suddenly rang out: "Shut up, this guy is trying to trick you!"

Losa glanced at Valentina with an awkward look, and chuckled, "How can you say that this is just a cliché? If we're talking about cooperation, your Saluzzo family is definitely more trustworthy. I just think that Texas is big and can accommodate more investment."
