Warlock Royal Family

() "Cardinal Orsini has left Siena this morning and led his army to retreat to Rome."

In the Sistine Chapel, the chosen Pope of Medici is listening to the recently arrived military situation.

"Send the guard cavalry to meet them, and then prepare food and supplies for them. No matter how bastard those guys are, the soldiers have worked hard. Keep me informed of the military situation." After receiving the order from the Pope Zhenxuan, he reported The archbishop in red bowed and took his leave.

His arrangements are quite thoughtful, and he seems to have come out of the terrible mood of the previous few days.

The news that Florence, the stronghold of the Medici family, was raided and breached by the Austrian army made people feel in danger, and His Majesty the Pope Zhenxuan, who had the depth of the city, lost his mind for a while.

He roams around the Sistine Chapel like a raging lion, roaring hysterically and hammering the walls frantically.

Fortunately, all of this was isolated by Cyric's divine power, and no one from the Roman Church saw their leader's manic state.

Of course, it's just that no "person" knows the gaffe of His Majesty the Pope Zhenxuan.

"Oh, His Majesty Habsburg let go so easily? I thought he would stick to Florence." Oswald's sharp and harsh voice sounded in the Sistine Chapel.

"Austria has swallowed half of Venice's territory, and without the support of the emperor, why should he eat Florence again." The Pope Zhenxuan clearly saw Ladislaus' scruples.

"He can at least rob the city of Florence. Why is he so soft-handed? His wife's house was given by Her Majesty Orsini." While speaking, Oswald turned to the front of the absolute truth, as if wanting to take a look Look at the face of Medici's chosen pope.

Although the lowest point of emotion has been passed.The patience of Pope Medici was still extremely limited, and Yeying's provocation quickly found trouble.

The hand of the Pope Zhenxuan was slightly shaken, and Oswald's body made a friction sound, and then the Sistine Chapel became quiet.

But this is only the silence on the physical level, and the Pope can hear the painful whine of Oswald's soul.

Such a powerful creature like Soul Reaping Night Shadow is by no means able to block the sense of pain. On the contrary, its nerves are far more sensitive than the average warriors protecting the country.

The memory that has devoured many souls makes it very emotional, which is why it is full of desire for freedom.The reason for the particular hatred for the Elected Pope for reintroducing him.

Although Ladislaus also imprisoned it, Ladislaus was unable to completely control it. Oswald was confident that he would always get a chance to escape in Vienna.

In Rome, in the Sistine Chapel this is completely impossible.

The Chosen Pope can rub it as he pleases, but even so it has to be provocative to make the Chosen Pope angry.

"Ahaha, I thought it was a loss for him to exchange a piece of legendary armor with the bottle I added, but I didn't expect it to be a loss."

Oswald's words made Pope Medici's hand squeeze tighter and tighter.Frenzberg relied on the armor of Terrasque to kill Bayar first and then Florence. Although without this armor, the outcome of the war may not be changed, but there is no doubt that the business experience of the true election of the pope is this time. Failed.

The Medici Elected Pope squeezed Oswald tightly, its voice became more and more urgent, and finally it couldn't say the words that bothered the Elected Pope.

Its soul is not just howling, but a little disordered.Or it's more messed up.

It's not that Oswald didn't have this thing of freedom in the past. It lived freely in the shadow world for thousands of years, but at that time he didn't have such a strange soul.

The gray and white memory of thousands of years of aimlessness has long been covered by the colorful memories in the Sistine Chapel. Ladislaus killed the last true elect pope, and the short-lived freedom he got is the real freedom. you.

His soul is so eager to be free.So much so that he hated the owner who bound it.

However, this spirit of resistance will eventually be worn away, maybe a few years or decades.Oswald himself knew that eventually he would become one of Cyric's dogs again.

The Chosen Pope relentlessly kept his dog on the leash, and then responded with the most vehemence to his disrespect to his master butler.

Maybe many owners like dogs more than housekeepers, but the authority of housekeepers is still guaranteed, at least most of the time.

Oswald was temporarily rescued by the appeal of another cardinal.

"The Cardinal of Habsburg has incited a group of opponents in Florence. May I ask if you still want to let the receiving troops enter the city?" Insiders have long been cultivated inside.

It is not difficult to guess that Ladislaus will make some small moves. Although the Duchy of Siena that he wants to protect has been temporarily preserved, as long as the Republic of Florence and the Church of Rome still regard the Medici as co-lords, Siena The Principality of Jena is still precarious.

Austria's interests in Central Italy can only be maximized if the Florentine Republic is thrown into chaos.

"Try to send as few people into the city as possible and let them jump out." It's just that the Medici family has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. Most of these damn republican nobles are very old, and many family ancestors even participated in The battle against Barbarossa the Great's invasion of Italy.

All kinds of contacts and relationships have already been intertwined, and they cannot be purged unless they openly rebel.

"The defenders of Pisa were at a disadvantage in the field battle with the invading mercenaries, and they have retreated into the city to stand firm, but the mercenaries don't seem to be looting around the towns outside the city." The cardinal in the report was careful not to mention that army The leader of the mercenaries was also a Medici.

Ludvik-Medici regards the city of Pisa as his private property, so naturally he would not allow the mercenaries to kill and loot indiscriminately.

The Pope Zhenxuan waved his hand: "Once the Austrians leave, these are nothing more than chicken tile dogs. How is the mobilization of mercenaries in Rome and Urbino?"

"Everything is going well, Your Majesty. Tomorrow, another 5000 people can be sent to join His Royal Highness Orsini's army, which has 1 horses."

1 horses can be said to be an overwhelming force in the battle of the Italian city-states.

Although peace talks with Austria were underway, the true pope mobilized further.

He will not violate the covenant but attack Siena. After this force is used to clear Florence, it will continue to attack Modena or Mantua, the two small Austrian partners.

This will force Austria to fight again, and it will not violate the treaty, which will put Austria in a dilemma.

This transaction was always just a scam for the true pope. Although it cost a little money, it successfully drove the Austrian army out of Florence.

The next round of competition can be carried out under a more favorable condition.

"The Austrian army is currently heading south, and it should have reached the city of Siena. The Mantua and Modena armies have not gone together, and there are only about 5000 people left."

"Ladislaus can't stay in Siena all the time. When we quell the enemies of Florence and Pisa, he will almost return home. Our continued attack on Modena will definitely put him in a dilemma."

"But if we continue to fight, will it affect our mediation between Spain and France?" The resident teacher in red was a little worried.

Under the mediation of the Pope, the King of France will soon be released. Although the concession is not small, he can go back after all.

Even if two provinces are lost, France is still in power.

As long as the king returns home safely, the power of Spain can still be balanced.

"Don't worry, His Majesty Ferdinand will not be angry now, but will only be happy about some minor setbacks in Austria." Medici's chosen pope is confident that everything is still under his control.

The Pope Zhenxuan is determined to take advantage of the fact that Spain will not fully support Austria for the time being, and hit Ladislaus with great momentum, telling him that I, the Medici, are the masters of Central Italy.

"Your nephew and General Ferrucci have already arrived in Rome. Shall we hold a banquet at night to surprise them?" Although the contract has not been signed yet, the captive transaction has been settled.

The Pope really chose to pay the ransom quickly, and Ladislaus released people quickly.

"What kind of banquet, the war hasn't officially ended yet, what are you doing, let them both reflect on it." Of course, Pope Zhenxuan was very dissatisfied with these two, and paying the money happily did not mean that he would not punish them.

"Let Alexander come to see me. There are still some things to explain to him before the expedition." The Pope Zhenxuan has decided to make Alexander, who is obviously of pagan blood, the heir of Florence. Of course, his appearance is still a problem.

Therefore, the chosen Pope has decided to let him replace Cardinal Orsini as the head of the Roman army. Anyway, with Tony's assistance, it is still more than enough to deal with those old Republican factions or insufficient mercenaries.

When it's time to attack the Austrian allies, it won't be too late to replace the veteran Ferrucci who has committed crimes and meritorious deeds.

"In addition, let Orsini not relax, and be on guard. After all, the contract has not been signed yet, so don't be careless." After thinking about it, the Pope Zhenxuan finally ordered.
