Outline

As Landry and his Templar brothers are about to be executed, Master Talus and the Lazarist knights under Gabriel, along with Anne, arrive in a covered wagon and free a small number of them. They escape to the Paris Temple where they find Lydia, who offers them shelter in her house as the royal forces break in. Master Talus single-handedly repels an attack from an entire company of the king’s guards, giving time for Anne and the other Templars to escape. In the morning, the separated Templars climb to the rooftops to find one another, a Templar strategy. Philip, angry at de Nogaret for failing to capture Landry, beats him severely. The Templars, along with Gawain and Lydia, use a secret passageway to reach the Palace where they undock a boat to leave Paris. Anne and Tancrede, however, are killed from crossbow fire by the king’s men before they can reach the dock. Landry re-enters the palace alone to kill King Philip for attempting to murder his daughter. With the army focused on tracking the Templars, no guards are present to defend the king. Prince Louis, having seen his beloved wife Margaret die in prison, abandons his father to single combat with Landry, as does de Nogaret. After a brief but brutal sword fight, Landry tells Philip that God has forsaken him, and kills him.
