Warlock Royal Family

() Machiavelli's letter put forward a bad idea, that is, the Church of Rome's ambitions for Siena are not so small, and the envoys of the Orsini family are likely to paralyze Ladislaus, and In fact, the Church of Rome has made considerable progress in Siena.

To make matters worse, the situation in Siena City is exactly as he predicted.

A few days before Ladislaus received the letter, the Roman army successfully entered the city of Siena.

"Your Excellency Petrucci, Your Excellency Masalani, His Majesty the Pope is very satisfied with your loyalty to His Majesty, and this time your efforts to restore the peaceful and stable rule of Siena will definitely be rewarded. s return."

The speaker was dressed in a red robe, so majestic, and he was also a red-clothed archbishop.

"His Royal Highness Orsini said that the true election of His Majesty the Pope will definitely give you a good future."

Following Archbishop Orsini in Cardinal is His Royal Highness Tony, who is now the leader of the Papal State's Swiss Guard, and is also the deputy general of the Principality of Siena this time.

And the Orsini cardinal who sent the envoy to "collude" with Ladislaus is naturally the chief general.

"Thank you His Royal Highness Archbishop in Red and His Royal Highness Protector for your support." Nodding and bowing in front of the two of them was the former Siena consul Weng who once joined the Colonna family. Qizhen's election of the pope made it easy for the Church of Rome to enter the city of Siena without mobilization.

"Now it's time for lunch. Please pay the two of you and let me invite your highness to have a meal in the humble house." The prophecy mage Masalani, who can use the seventh-level magic, made great contributions in this battle. The dissociation technique killed the important goalkeeper who was loyal to the Colonna family, which really made Marquis Facchetti miserable.

"Face is a must, but let's first talk about the situation in the city and the next actions. After all, the Colonna family is still fighting in the inner castle." Although the outer city has completely fallen, the Marquise Facchetti even Withdrew most of the cronies into the inner fort of Siena and continued to resist.

"The inner fortress itself is very strong. Over the past few years, the Colonna family has known that they have perverted the people and gods in Siena, so they have invested a lot of energy in renovation. In any case, this is indeed a strong fortress. Although we have won the masses and With the support of thousands of righteous people, I'm afraid they still don't have the ability to attack such a professional fortress." Masalani first emphasized the difficulties, and then complimented his new master. "I'm afraid that we must invest in the Swiss Guard, a well-known church elite, to launch a fierce attack to capture this fortress. It is not a problem for His Majesty's elite to deal with these enemies."

In the face of big countries like Spain and Austria, no matter how good the inner fort is, it doesn't make much sense, but in the contest of city-state levels, a strong inner fort can often wait for change.

Although the Petrucci family has successfully gathered a large-scale army relying on their connections in Siena for many years.However, once the structure of officers and soldiers is dismantled, it is very difficult to reorganize. The combat effectiveness of the troops they have today is quite suspicious.

It's just that people in the Church of Rome don't want to eat this hard walnut.

"The Swiss Guard is the personal guard of His Majesty the Pope, how can they engage in such unnecessary battles?" It was not Tony but Orsini who said this. "You are all natives of Siena, and you must know the terrain better. If you have the courage to attack the inner castle, I still ask you to carry it down."

Siena's leading party naturally cursed in their hearts. This time they couldn't get du li just because the Colonna family was unstable internally, so they wanted to restore some privileges when they were arrested.The sovereignty of Siena still belonged to the Church of Rome.

So little was given to Petruccion-in-law, but he was asked to do the most and the most dangerous work.

Although the two argued a few more words, they could not resist Orsini's order after all, so they could only prepare to attack.

Orsini sent his own family's private soldiers and Rome's city defense army to scatter, a total of 4000 people were enough to control every vital point in Siena, and a thousand Swiss Guards were used as a contingency force and a force to suppress the formation.

This arrangement is naturally to make it easier for his subordinates to make room, but Tony has no intention of objecting.Medici really chose the pope to hand over this world-class army to him, so he must ensure the combat effectiveness of the army.

Twice the salary of the city defense army is to ensure their discipline and loyalty. These qualities are very valuable to the army, and any banditry will weaken these qualities.

The Swiss warriors did not live up to their statement. With their help, several members of the Petrucci family successively gathered up the scattered "righteous people". civil".

Through killings and severe reprimands, the "righteous people" were finally brought back to eat, and then they went to attack the inner castle after eating.

While the attackers were at lunch, the remnants of the Sienese in the inner fort were also hurrying to eat.

It's just that the Marquise Facchetti didn't have the heart to eat.Through the shooting hole, she looked at the enemies who buried pots and cooked food on the street. Those messy thugs were nothing to worry about, but the Swiss halberdiers who carried their own dry food and kept their formation made her feel very stressed. big.

"Mom, mom." The little nephew holding her leg has not yet distinguished the difference between mother and aunt. He doesn't know that the person he calls mom is actually the aunt who threw his mother to Spain.

It's just that now, the differences within the Colonna family are only minor issues, and the fate of all family members is shared.

'Father.I'm determined to keep the business you've worked so hard to build. "Although the old Colonna had long predicted the crisis after his death, the loss of the outer city at once caused the Marquis Facchetti to feel extremely painful. The news of her father's death was so close to the invasion of foreign enemies, which made Facchetti even more painful. The Marchioness was exhausted.

"Send His Highness the Duke in." Marquise Facchetti couldn't be distracted at this time.She went over the current situation in her mind.

The betrayal of the Petrucci family was inevitable. As the former first family of Siena, a more appropriate solution should be to find opportunities to wipe out the roots, or at least drive them out of the power field.

However, the Colonna family has been under great pressure from Rome, and they are unable to do this. In addition, the Petrucci family has always been very submissive and cannot be punished without reason.

Masalani's wife, who was born in the Petrucci family, actually died at the end of last year. It seems that his connection with the Petrucci family has become less close, and he is very active in participating in Madame Facchetti's visit. British men's salon, which made the Marquise Facchetti careless.

Although there have always been rumors that the Marquise Chetty is the confinement of the Habsburg Cardinal, let's not say "how can the noble and solemn Cardinal not keep the oath of loyalty".

Even if that was true, the noble daughter of the Colonna family and the actual ruler of the Duchy of Siena had different weights, and the Duke was still so young that the Marquise Facchetti was actually the monarch of Siena for the next 15 years.

She is completely free in her private life, and Ladislaus has no ability to control her at all.

It's just that the Marquise Facchetti is not a sensualist. The high-end salon she created actually meant that the monarch put his marriage rights up for grabs, but she was obviously not as clever as Her Majesty Elizabeth, who was not yet born at this time. .

In the end, the competition in the salon failed to bring about a great situation in which everyone rushed to serve the Colonna family first. Instead, the accumulated contradictions and conflicts among the gentlemen finally led Masalani to collude with the Church of Rome.

The outer city was quickly breached, and before the militia could be mobilized, the city fell into the hands of the invaders.

However, the situation has not yet reached its worst moment. The inner castle of Siena City is the core of the Colonna family's management, and the nobles living here are all offshoots and absolute cronies of the Colonna family, and there are no Sienese.

The [-] soldiers in the inner fortress are all loyal and reliable men selected by the old Colonna. All the soldiers came to Siena from Rome, and most of the officers have served the Colonna family for generations. old bones.

It was precisely because these people were not dispersed, and the old Colonna brought many people to Austria, that the Colonna family's control over the Siena City Defense Force was very weak, but this in turn ensured the stability of the inner castle.

"Have you checked the status of the grain storage and well water again?" After receiving an affirmative reply from the steward, the Marquise Facchetti went on to say, "Come with me to the lion material storehouse, and then ask some lion warriors to go to the city wall with me." .”

There are also mages and warlocks in the offshoots of the Colonna family. They will not fail to do their best in this kind of battle, and the stronger the small fortress, the greater the role of lions and consumables.

"The enemy seems to be attacking the city soon? Go to the city wall at this time?"

The Marquise Facchetti took off her coat to reveal the heavy armor inside, and then took off the mace hanging on the wall, reminding the steward that she was the priest of Stishia, the goddess of water.

Although he didn't get much divine grace, it was indeed a very valuable combat power.

After bringing together two mages from the Colonna family and a priest Cyric who is absolutely loyal to the family, the Marquise Facchetti boarded the gatehouse of the inner castle, and the soldiers cheered sincerely. The positive and negative effect on morale of the woman crying in the room can often determine the outcome of the battlefield.

The Marquise Facchetti was quite satisfied with the situation on the tower. Although the situation was urgent, the housekeeper organized the maids and cooks to cook a hot meal for the soldiers. The stock in the warehouse was also sufficient. Thin oatmeal, thick broth in the bowls of the soldiers of Colonna Fang.

After shaking hands with nearly a hundred soldiers on the gate tower, the Marquise Facchetti also took a bowl of soup from the pot, and then drank it quietly, waiting for the enemy to attack.

'You have to hurry up and save me. 'Although she was very firm in front of her subordinates, Marquise Facchetti knew that relying on the strength of the Colonna family was not enough to fight against the Church of Rome. Only the Austrian enemy could intervene quickly to save the Colonna family. (To be continued. You are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets.
