Warlock Royal Family

() For the Republicans in Florence, the autumn of 1525 was really a beautiful season. They have worked so hard for many years to weave many plots and plot many tricks but failed to achieve their goals, but they all achieved after a mess.

The tyrant's rule was destroyed by the invaders, who left the city after receiving financial compensation for the sake of fame and fear of overstretch triggering a siege.

What could be more satisfying than that?

After Ladislaus received the money, he fully realized his promise. Ludwig really led his troops to attack Pisa the next day, and he also evacuated the city of Florence ten days later and handed over the prisoners of the city defense army and militia. To several republican nobles.

What a dream come true.

Ladislaus was also very happy. In total, he got more than 200 million talers of wealth and 30 talers of magic equipment and spell-casting materials.

Last time, Anna and the red-robed mages played a major role in conquering Venice, so they got a lot of spoils.

Because this time he didn't need to share the spoils with the desperate Anna, Ladislaus' income even exceeded the wealth he had robbed the island of Venice.

The magic equipment and spell-casting materials are mainly obtained from the Medici mansion, and the money is provided by the Republicans. There is really not much money in the Medici mansion, and the treasury of the Republic of Florence is not very rich.

The Medici head office in the city must have a super fat treasury, but Ladislaus finally restrained himself. Although the Medici Bank is the source of the strength of the Medici family, it is indeed a private institution.The Medici family has been adhering to the principle of distinguishing between public and private for many years.

The damage to the reputation of raiding commercial organizations is too great, which does not conform to the unspoken rules of the Europa War.

The 200 million thaler is in addition to the agreed 110 million thaler.There are also hundreds of thousands of thalers that were bribed by the republican nobles in order to compete for the captives controlled by Austria. Being a republican does not mean that there will be no infighting.

Ladislaus was very happy when he collected the money, and he allowed Harna to stuff all the checks under her pillow, and then fell asleep soundly.

Ms. Harna did not get the treasure of the Pazzi family in the end, but it is very affordable to get a [-] taler money order, which is equivalent to this time the Marquis of Mantua brought [-] troops to follow Ladislaus The reward for attacking together.

The Duke of Modena can get one-third of the province of Pisa, so there is no need to give money.

Of course, Ms. Harna did not get such a large sum of money because of her good bite, but because she helped Ladislaus contact the Liguria merchant fleet to provide rations to the Austrian army and Siena, which was in urgent need of supplies. Ship supplies.

Marshal Doria's fighting power guaranteed his right to hedge his bets.

But after the excitement of some money for Ladislaus.He was also a little worried about whether these republican nobles would start fighting among themselves so soon, and whether they would be able to contain the Medici family.

"Can these guys do it?" Ladislaus asked Machiavelli on the way south to Siena.

"It won't be easy to deal with." Machiavelli still had confidence in his former comrades.

"How much power can His Majesty the Black invest in Italy?" This is the reinforcement Ladislaus is looking for for the Republican faction. If he dares to go deep into the Italian peninsula to challenge Cyric, he can only find Benn.

"I have been away from the core of His Majesty's power for too long. Although I was able to atone for my sins this time because of your generosity and became His Majesty's priest again, His Highness Martin Luther will not give up information and power to me." Once again Machiavelli puts on the steel armor he had not worn for many years.And it looks 20 years younger.

Machiavelli, who was already in his twilight years, can now serve Ladislaus for at least ten more years, and he is only now seriously considering finding a wife for himself.

Like extending the life of Sazastan, extending Machiavelli's life is also a system task. Ladislaus feels that there has been no system task for a long time.

For this reason, Ladislaus handed over a cardinal archbishop captured in Florence to Machiavelli. I don't know how Machiavelli peeled him apart.A burden was lifted from Machiavelli.

The price of this task is not small. Although it is impossible for the captured cardinal to perform sacrifices and tell Cyric any information, it is always difficult to deny that he disappeared after being captured in Florence.

This world is different from Li Di's world, and it's not surprising that important figures died in the chaos in that plane.No one with a mortal body can withstand the power of gold and iron.

But the archbishops in red here are all very powerful, and it is impossible to die silently.

In short, I can only deny it with all my strength.Let's see if Director Jones can put the shit bowl on the Republicans or Ludwick this time.

Although this task is not cheap, the effect is finally good. Machiavelli's role in Austria today is very important.

Reverting to being a powerful priest is even more helpful to Ladislaus' cause.

"But please rest assured that His Majesty the Black is definitely capable of supporting the anti-Medici forces in the Republic of Florence. It has been more than 20 years since the secret network was purged last time. After all these years of secret operations, there must be a secret network It was established again." Bane's ability to organize a covert front was well recognized.

Relying on his discipline, the Bane Church has developed a very effective intelligence agency. The one-line connection and the slayer gang are the magic weapons for its secret organization that cannot be completely destroyed.

It’s just that compared to the church of Shar who likes to spy on information and pay back money, the church of Benn likes to gather strength to launch an uprising.

When the time comes, power can be established.

For example, the current state of the Principality of Siena is a good time. Of course, the Bann Church will not want to seize power here at this time. After all, it is very unwise to fight against the Cyric Church and the Habsburg family at the same time.

Although the Principality of Siena is now at its most vulnerable.

"Thank you for coming to the rescue in time, praise the imperial family of scholars." On the edge of the demolished city gate, Marquise Facchetti led all the nobles in Siena to welcome the Austrian army.

It was somewhat impolite to greet her at the gate of the city, but the Marquise Facchetti really did her best to express her gratitude.

It's not that she doesn't want to go twenty miles out of the city to meet him, but that she simply can't send out scouts now.

The envoys of Ladislaus have been negotiating with the true pope for several days, and the talks have gone much smoother than expected.

Both sides showed great sincerity in the peace talks, and the two sides seemed to reach an agreement quickly on the condition that the Austrian army would withdraw from Florence and the Roman army would withdraw from Siena.

It's just that compared to Ladislaus' ability to effectively control his subordinates, the commander of the Roman army no longer had any scruples after learning that he was about to withdraw his troops. Except for the Swiss Guard controlled by Tony, other troops committed countless crimes.

Under the stimulation of blood and sex, those soldiers finally couldn't control the bottom line that everyone was Italian.

Tony and his Swiss mercenaries did not take part in the most horrific war crimes, but the plundering of the city did.

Cardinal Orsini and other nobles committed a series of terrible atrocities in the city of Siena during the peace talks, and the city of Siena suffered a huge catastrophe.

At least [-] residents were killed, their bodies still pending, and an equal number of women were raped.

The nobles of the Church of Rome below Cardinal Orsini didn't care that Ladislaus might take reciprocal revenge on the city of Florence, and even expected Ladislaus to lose his mind and kill.

Their interests have nothing to do with the Republic of Florence.

They were also not afraid of the possible revenge of the Medici Pope Elect. All the Roman aristocratic forces participated in the atrocities. When Florence was hit hard, the Pope Elect was unable to sanction them, but needed their support.

Although they didn't know that Ladislaus provoked the republicans in Florence, judging from common sense, the city of Florence would inevitably fall into weakness and chaos.

"Has the supplies I urgently ordered arrived?" Ladislaus paid 15 talers to Marshal Andre Doria and asked for a batch of supplies to be reported immediately.

"Yes, Your Highness. It has arrived." The Marquis Facchetti was actually a little surprised by Ladislaus' generosity. Since the Roman army had already retreated, there was no need to pay an expedited premium for this batch of supplies.

"Please rest in the inner fort tonight, and under the current situation, it is too risky for you to bring only this little army."

After a while, Marquise Facchetti noticed that Ladislaus only brought more than 100 cavalry, and did not bring an army.

"The castle is gone, you gather the remaining soldiers as soon as possible." Ladislaus actually had one more urgent matter to do.
