Warlock Royal Family

() Fortunately, Ladislaus reacted quickly enough that the so-called "river embankment" built by Frundsberg and Earl Slam did not cause major casualties. ..

Although Earl Slam insisted repeatedly that if Ladislaus was not determined to pull him away, he could have stood up to the possible collapse of the river embankment with Frenzberg.

But obviously this wide-ranging suggestion is definitely not acceptable to Ladislaus. I don't know how long it will take to find a vial in the river bed. Could it be that the high-ranking warriors have been standing there?

Ladislaus would not let his key men take such ludicrous risks.

So he decided to leave a small number of troops to monitor the area and bring professionals in water conservancy engineering from Vienna as soon as possible. He himself took the troops to Regensburg to support the mayor who wanted to cleanse the Bann faction.

Regensburg is a large city in southern Germany located on the banks of the Danube River. The Regen River flows into the Danube here, and it can trade with Vienna through the Danube River. Of course, although this section of the Danube River has great commercial value, its navigability is relatively The middle reaches are much worse.

Therefore, Regensburg is not as good as Buda and Pest and Vienna's increasingly close economic ties.

However, although it is not closely connected with Vienna, it is the central city of Munich, Nuremberg, and Würzburg, with a population of about 5000. Because the prosperous economy makes the people's living environment better, Regensburg is here. The uprising was not too seriously impacted.

The forces of the local Cyric, Bane, and Sune were relatively balanced, and there was no military showdown, and fortunately, there were no large groups of foreign rebels passing through here.

Although it is slightly inferior to Augsburg, which was prosperous due to the prosperity of the textile industry, it can still be regarded as one of the top second-tier cities in the Holy Roman Empire.

This is based on the fact that the Regensburg Council failed to develop such important industries as the textile industry or the brewing industry in time. Although the city has repeatedly made mistakes in economic choices, it has not developed any competitive products. It is still able to maintain its prosperity, which is due to a treasure built by the people of Regensburg 400 years ago.

"Is that the Devil's Bridge?" Ladislaus led more than [-] people to the city of Regensburg without any resistance along the way, and arrived at a hill where the treasure could be seen from a distance.

With a length of more than 300 meters and sixteen bridge holes, this is a great engineering masterpiece comparable to Zhaozhou Bridge, although not as old as Zhaozhou Bridge.But the scale is even better, and each has its own merits.

"Exactly, Your Highness, this is the first and so far only bridge across the Danube, the Devil's Bridge." Sazastan is familiar with the allusion.And it's not the first time here. "When I was promoted to the red robe more than 80 years ago. I used to be a hired mage here recently, and it was here that I killed the enemy for the first time in my life."

"Devil's bridge? What do you mean?" Sirika asked directly without hiding his clumsiness.

"400 years ago, the Anri Cathedral in Regensburg and this stone bridge were built at the same time. It is said that the bishop and the mayor were fighting for the control of the city. Whoever works on the project will become the head of the city. If the cathedral is completed first, then Regensburg will become a religious territory under the rule of Darkness. If the bridge across the Danube is completed first, then Regensburg will become a municipality directly under the Empire. ’ echoed Sazastan’s voice.

Sway the weight of history.

"Although the cathedral is a huge project, it is rare in Europa, and the bishop can get the support of the Roman Church. It should be no problem to win." Boss Silica's words were a little dull at first.A well-placed sycophant actually.

"Indeed, the bishop at the time thought so too." Sazastan really became interested. "According to the legend, the mayor who was in charge of the construction of the stone bridge made a deal with a devil lord. If the devil could help him complete the bridge construction, he would get three thousand souls who crossed the bridge first. The devil lord agreed to this condition. , Since then, the construction of the stone bridge has advanced by leaps and bounds, and the piers that were difficult to lay down were all succeeded at one time, and finally the bridge was completed before the completion of the cathedral."

"The price is really not small. Three thousand souls." Sirika's boss continued to cooperate.

"The mayor didn't pay that much. On the eve of the ribbon-cutting of the bridge, he organized people to drive [-] chickens across the bridge, which angered the devil. He tried to destroy the bridge but failed. He just stayed Get off those arched bridge holes." The last sentence was uttered by Ladislaus, but he had considerable reservations about the veracity of the story.

This story has been widely circulated, and it has been passed down by word of mouth throughout Germany.But in a man of judgment like Ladislaus comes the story "Church of Darkness" style is strong.It is very similar to their usual method of spreading rumors after their failure.

How can it be so easy to take advantage of the Devil Lord?

However, the Anri Church has always held the most powerful right to speak, so it is natural to use this method to attack the opponent's wisdom and discredit the opponent's cause.It's a good way to put enemies and devils together.

"This story has spread so widely. It is definitely not something that a bishop can do. It must be the overall action of the Roman Church." For this kind of willingness to gamble and refuse to admit defeat, Sazastan is far from contemptuous, and if he wins, he will retaliate If you lose, you will spread rumors, which can be regarded as an old drama of political struggle.

"At that time, the leaders of the citizens of Regensburg repelled the erosion of the bishop and preserved their sovereignty, but the bishop of Anri survived in this prosperous city and became the mainstream belief, but he didn't know how much he would be challenged now. "Ladislaus is more concerned about the current situation of the city, and he hopes that the infighting can bring him more benefits.

The Austrian dignitaries are not surprised that Regensburg is undefended. They are busy with internal strife and naturally have no time to defend against foreign enemies. However, Ladislaus has no intention of directly approaching the city. A hasty display of ambition is likely to arouse the locals to unite and resist. In 500, Emperor Maximilian had meddled in the affairs of the city, and finally returned without success.

Today's enemy is the Elector of Saxony. On the issue of Regensburg's freedom, he still supports the mayor, as long as he gets what he offers in return.

The Austrian army finally camped on that hill. Ladislaus was not here to attack the city but to support the mayor.

Long after setting up the camp, it was late at night that Augsburg finally responded. It was the envoy who came to contact the mayor on behalf of the mayor last time and came to the Austrian military camp again.

"Welcome to the free city of Augsburg, Your Highness." The messenger's words sounded full of surprises. "It is wonderful, Your Highness Cardinal, that your troops have arrived in Augsburg so quickly."
