Warlock Royal Family

() Although the Goriti Consul did not waver, the death of Ambassador Kahn was not worthless. He still used his life to win a few days for Ladislaus, and the Republic of Venice inevitably fell into a quarrel, delaying planned an open alliance with France.

But it's just a delay.

'My lord Habsburg, I have done my best. 'Looking at the ultimatum in his hand, Sherlock thought helplessly in his heart.

Tomorrow is December, and he really has no choice.

The French army progressed very smoothly in the Milan area. After capturing the provincial capital Milan in one fell swoop, except for Pavia, where the Marquis of Pescara left behind his nephew Alfonso Alves and led by a thousand Spanish elites, the other fortresses had already With the retreat of the Spanish Field Army and the rapid fall, a large number of bureaucrats sent by Vienna have abandoned their officials and fled. Even if Ladislaus strictly ordered the deserters to die, it could not stop all this.

In the east, the Kingdom of Hungary also began to mobilize. Although Louis II was eager for revenge, he did not go too far. He did not transfer the main force that was confronting the Ottoman Empire in the lower reaches of the Danube, but hired many Cossack knights. Some nomads found on the Pannonian grassland formed a relatively small force, but even this small force reached 5000 people, and they were all cavalry. Once a raid was launched, it would be enough to make the situation in Austria even more difficult.

The progress of the French army and the mobilization of Hungary also made the attitude of the Republic of Venice more and more tough.

After getting ten times the security force, Sherlock has moved back to the Austrian embassy, ​​and he wrote to Ladislaus sitting on the chair of Ambassador Kahn who was killed by him.

Although Ambassador Kahn voluntarily sacrificed his life for the cause of Ladislaus, Shylock has no other choice but to suggest that Ladislaus back down. Although the troops of the Republic of Venice may not be strong and efficient.However, the large army organized with its financial resources and the materials it can provide are enough to connect the two feudal powers of France and Hungary. Although it has the support of Spain, Austria's position is too unfavorable, and it is too dangerous to be under the pressure of these three parties at the same time. Any tactical failure is likely to lead to an irreversible situation.

He weighed his words carefully, carefully pondered every stroke, performed his duties while preventing Ladislaus from throwing bad emotions on him, and he showed the vigilance he used to do when he was doing business at the end of the year. , a short two-page letter.I wrote all day.I wrote from early morning to midnight, and I didn't even eat lunch.

Sherlock read it carefully again before going to eat and wash. In the past, the last work of checking the books was done by her daughter, but this time she can't let her do it. Although it's no big deal for the sons and daughters of diplomats to know some diplomatic information. However, Sherlock did not dare to neglect such a major matter involving national policy, and would rather take some pain himself to handle things properly.

It's a pity that after paying such a high price, even killing his colleagues, he couldn't complete this miracle in the end.

At this time, Sherlock already understood that Ladislaus must have some arrangements, and he had to wait for changes.In the past few days, he has been asking his subordinates to inquire about the news, hoping that the arrangement will work quickly.

And now he can only hope that Ladislaus' plan will not work, otherwise he will be really ineffective.

Sherlock was thinking half-heartedly as he rinsed in the bathroom.

Suddenly a sense of danger passed by, is there really an assassin?

Although Sherlock was a businessman in the past, he is now a Ladislaus diplomat, but he is also a fearful necromancer with the characteristics of a warrior and a spellcaster.

Although it is impossible to bring spell-casting materials with him in the bath, the soft sword is at hand, and he raised the soft sword to attack the person entering the bathroom with his short stature.

The father-in-law stood naked with his sword against the son-in-law, but it was quite embarrassing.

"What's going on. You came in without saying a word." Although Sherlock saw clearly that the person who came was his son-in-law, he didn't put down his weapon.

Maybe the kid can't wait to think about the legacy?

still want to

Deal with Ambassador Kahn like you deal with yourself?Delay for a few more days?To win this great achievement?

"There is good news, my lord father." The son-in-law, who was slightly in shock, realized his recklessness at this time.He said as he exited the bathroom. "The Kingdom of Hungary should be unable to fulfill its military alliance with the Kingdom of France."

After listening to his son-in-law's narration, Sherlock was not as ecstatic as his son-in-law expected. He just asked his son-in-law to confirm the authenticity of the news immediately, and to get up early with himself tomorrow.

After his son-in-law left, Sherlock took a long breath and threw the letter he wrote to Ladislaus into the brazier.

Just three days ago, the joint fleet of the Ottoman Navy and the Barbary pirates sailed into the northern shore of the Adriatic Sea. Yaster launched a series of attacks.

Not only a large number of merchant ships and villages along the coast were destroyed.Pirates even went hundreds of miles inland and destroyed many large towns.

The appearance of these fleets was very sudden. The Venetian navy, which threatened them the most, did not dare to go to sea without the information.

So far, only pirates are doing it in Venice, and the Ottoman navy is just helping them hold the line and attacking the Kingdom of Hungary.

The Republic of Venice and the Ottoman Empire did not declare war. Ibrahim Pasha, Suleiman's confidant, was a Venetian. He had been working hard to ease the relationship between his monarch and his mother country.

Compared with his ignorant son-in-law, Sherlock, who guessed that Ladislaus must have something planned, is more nervous than happy. Although he is a Templar, in fact, this powerful organization that could determine the survival of a small country has long since collapsed. Almost there.

He is a businessman, and he has experience that a small business may become a big boss due to accidental factors. For example, Shylock will give you a few hundred taler if he is in a good mood, but a big business must compete with comprehensive strength, commodity The quality, delivery channels, and human relations system will be carefully compared and considered to minimize accidental factors.

The same should be true of politics. Such a major geopolitical event cannot be a coincidence, let alone wishful thinking.

Could it be that Ladislaus hooked up with a demon believer?

This is a big taboo in Europa politics, and it is a dangerous cross-line behavior. Colluding with pirates to attack countries that believe in true gods is the most widely resented cross-line behavior among all cross-line behaviors.

Under the current situation, it is simply not clear that Austria is the biggest beneficiary of the attack.

This benefactor of his own is not only the cornerstone of his future and career, but also his hope to revive the Knights Templar and legalize Jergal's beliefs. He must not fail.

When he came to the Venice bond market the next day, Shylock, who was sleepless under such pressure, looked more tired than his son-in-law who ran around until midnight.

However, the situation here has greatly boosted Sherlock's spirit. The bond market is in chaos. Although Sherlock's son-in-law has come quite early, but before they arrived, more people who bought Venice bonds had already arrived. Arrived here desperately dumping government bonds.

Shouts came and went, and in just half an hour after the opening of the market, the government bonds of the Republic of Venice fell by more than [-]%.

Shylock realized that he was worrying too much, even if Ladislaus really colluded with the Ottoman Empire, so what, no amount of future hostility can compare to the ease of the current situation.

In fact, most Venetians think that the current situation is getting worse. Such a large-scale offensive by the Ottoman Empire is obviously aimed at the main island of Venice. It is about to engage in a strategic decisive battle, and any support for France and Hungary must be sidelined.

Thinking about it carefully, Sherlock himself became a little suspicious. Would the Ottoman Empire really not attack the main island of Venice?

If the Republic of Venice falls into a crisis of extinction, then the entire Central Europe is bound to reorganize the alliance. (To be continued.
