Chapter 620 In Danger
"What do you need?" Vlad asked.

"You just need to recognize our status. I believe that our two countries can cooperate better in the future."

Vlad said he would agree to this request. Now the other party was asking him for something, so even if he didn't agree, they wouldn't do anything big.

However, the oppressive feeling of a unified Bohemia is still very strong. Although Silesia has been taken, the strength of the remaining places should not be underestimated.

Therefore, a divided and war-torn Bohemia was in the interests of Brandenburg. Vlad was happy to recognize the Hussite regime, but he did not say that he would not recognize Sigismund's status. Anyway, he could not become the king of Bohemia, so he just regarded it as a favor.

……

Zajmoski came to Lviv and, as a vanguard, he led the Polish cavalry to support Lviv, but was still a step too late.

Lviv had been captured by Romania, and most of the people inside were captured and turned into slaves, which made the other side feel desperate.

Peter sat at the highest point of the town hall, fiddling with a dagger made of fine iron. After a long time, he finally looked at himself.

"Polish envoy, I think we have nothing in common."

The emperor's tone made Zajmoski feel uncomfortable, but the opponent's strength was there. He had no choice but to bow his head. "Dear Roman Emperor, the current situation is not what King Władysław saw. He expected peace. The two countries should be committed to resolving the war, not like now..."

Peter put the dagger in the armrest and stared at the other man. Zaimoski felt a lot of pressure.

"Peace, peace was lost by Jagiełło himself. Don't think I don't know what you think. More than 20 years ago, you persecuted my father and even colluded with Osman.

Even so, our country has no intention of attacking you, but you really don't know what is good for you. In this case, I don't need to do this anymore, just let you all die."

The word "die" was blatantly spoken from his mouth, and Zaimoski was under more pressure. But he still said: "Your Majesty, do you have to watch the blood flow like a river? God will punish you."

Ha, talking to him about theology. Peter sneered. "God must be on my side. As for you, you are just a savage from the jungle. How dare you say God bless you here?"

"But wasn't your country also once torn apart by the barbarians?"

"Yeah, but now it's even stronger, and you're going to be history."

Zajmoski could no longer argue and had to leave. Since Romania had captured Lviv, the next target would definitely be Krakow, so he had to prepare early.

"Your Majesty, a letter from Russia. The Russian army has pinned down the Lithuanian and Livonia armies in the cities of Riga and Vilnius, and will soon be able to break through."

Mihaly's speed was faster than he thought, and suppressing Lithuania was half the task. They also had to hurry up.

"The capture of Lviv is indeed worth celebrating, but being too obsessed with this victory may put our army in trouble in the future." Peter looked at the person next to him and said, "Come on, Andrew, Charles must have sent you here for something important."

Andrew Lloydweber, an important assistant to Charles, the Spanish Prime Minister, came to Lviv for something important. "Your Majesty, we have received news that Castile and Aragon have formed an alliance."

"Don't they often form alliances?"

"This time it's a little different. According to the scouts' reports, their army has begun to move south, apparently intending to attack Cordoba."

Peter was mentally prepared for such a situation. If he wanted to distract Rome's attention, then Spain was the best place.

"How about it, how long can you hold out?"

Andrew began to talk about the current situation. There are a total of 130 million people in Spain. After the Castilian army moved south, 7.5 soldiers were recruited and heavily defended Cordoba.

In terms of the navy, Aragon's navy has recovered a lot at this time. Coupled with the agreement signed with Genoa, it is estimated that it will cause some difficulties to coastal cities, but it will not cause a major blow.

After listening to the report, Peter thought about it carefully. As an isolated island of the empire, Sibania has to rely on itself most of the time. The current situation can be maintained for a long time, as long as it maintains contact with the mainland.

"Your Majesty, your Excellency hopes that Constantinople can send reinforcements to help with the attack. This will not only help to hold off Castile, but also allow us to capture Toledo."

This is a big deal. Toledo, once the administrative center of Rome, is now the residence of the Pope. After the fall of Rome, the Pope had no way to escape and finally settled here.

The Catholic Church also participated in this attack. They claimed that anyone who attacked Spain would be redeemed. They also issued indulgences to raise funds for the war. Under their propaganda, many people decided to join the Crusade.

"It looks like they're going to run away again."

This was said to the Pope and the cardinals. In fact, he did not want the Pope to leave. If he had to move to Constantinople, he would build a house for the Pope himself and let him quarrel with the Patriarch. Wouldn't he be bridging the Eastern and Western Churches?
Of course these are just fantasies, but if this were to happen, he would surely go down in history as a saint of the church. For now, it's better to go to Constantinople to make plans.

----------

Władysław had received nothing but bad news these days. "What did you say? Lviv has fallen?" He felt as if he had been hit hard on the head, staggering and almost falling.

"Your Majesty, we have tried every possible method, but the Roman offensive was too fierce. In the end, they even set fire to the city. Many people became slaves, and the archbishop chose to burn himself to death in order to avoid falling into their hands..."

The fleeing defenders cried to the king. Władysław was a little upset and said directly that they should attack quickly while the enemy had not yet gained a firm foothold.

"Your Majesty, it's still dozens of miles from here to Lviv. You've traveled a long way and are already very tired. You won't have the strength to fight when you get there. You'd better wait for a while."

"No, they might be celebrating. This has happened more than once or twice in their history. Italy and Egypt were lost so quickly. As long as we catch them by surprise, we will definitely be able to recapture Lviv."

No one could persuade Władysław, so they had to follow him to Lviv, hoping that everything would be as he said.
