Warlock Royal Family

As news of King Louis' death began to become clearer, Machiavelli, who stayed home, also sprang into action.

As a response to the main forces on the Danube, Vienna also sent partial divisions to march into other Hungarian and Croatian border provinces.

The divisions of the several divisions only centered on two or three elite companies, and incorporated some Hungarian militias along the way, but they all took control of several provincial capitals smoothly.

In mid-September, the cities of Gyor and Velovitina had already accepted the rule of the Austrians. After all, bureaucrats everywhere urgently needed life-saving straws.

As long as the Ottoman army does not come with the whole division, but sends partial divisions to attack these flanking cities, then an Austrian company is of great significance in the defense of the city, and it is very likely to change the fate of the city. [

Moreover, the actions of the Austrians are justified. No matter from which point of view, Ladislaus and Ferdinand are now the most powerful heirs to the Hungarian throne.

Although His Majesty Aglonni in Poland is bound to make a claim to the throne, Hungary has never been a Salic law country that completely excludes female inheritance rights.

More importantly, the King of Poland has not taken any effective actions so far, and the momentum of the Austrian army that is in front of him is enough to make the Hungarian bureaucracy surrender.

The main force moving down the Danube River went smoothly, and various fortresses and municipalities along the bank opened to the Austrian army one after another.

The main force itself also sent out a small force, which spread out towards the south bank of the Danube River, and soon took over the important town of Tatabagno, approaching the ancient capital of Seksberg.

The Danube flows in an east-west direction as a whole, but this section in Hungary flows in a north-south direction, so there is no concept of the south bank and the north bank, only the concept of the east and west banks.

The West Bank has basically come under the control of Ladislaus.

Although the situation on the east bank of the Danube was much more complicated, Ladislaus still sent a small amount of cavalry across the Danube to the eastern cordon.

Only the garrison officer of Esztergom, an important town in northern Hungary, refused to cooperate.Insist on waiting for Buda's order.

Although Ladislaus wanted to make an example of others, he was not sure that he would knock down this strong fortress.

Although he has sufficient troops and catapults transported by water are available, the fortress is small and cannot be used by various means.

If the castle can be conquered in one fell swoop, then the guard will be charged with colluding with Ottoman heretics.It just happened to show the power of the new master, but if it can't be overcome for a few days, the political impact will be greatly disadvantageous, and Ladislaus did not launch a strong attack in the end.

Only a part of the surveillance force was left, and the main force continued to move south, but it was impossible to control the fortress that was stuck on the road, which still greatly reduced the speed of the army.

Until September 9th.The city was ruled by the Austrian army only because of the arrival of Queen Mary.

This garrison officer is an old Spanish general, a servant of Queen Mary.

He did not disappoint Queen Mary's trust, and won her a chance to show her value, giving her a more solid position in the next changes.

"Your Majesty, please accept your condolences." Ladislaus welcomed Queen Mary and her party by the Danube on September 9, the day before the opening of Esztergom.

Just a day out of town.Mary and her party ran into the forward of the Austrian army, Jevich's Inland River Fleet.

However, Jevich is unwilling to allocate a precious warship to carry these Hungarians. Even the princess of Habsburg and the queen of Hungary are not important enough for him to divide his troops. The fleet is not an army. According to the eighty people, a large battleship with sails and oars is about one-tenth of his strength, and he refuses to accept any non-military reasons for dispersion. [

So Mary waited another night before seeing Ladislaus.

"Thank you very much for coming to the rescue so quickly." The queen's words and attitude made Ladislaus a little worried.Is she hating herself for being stabbed in the back?

Mary is dressed in mourning, which is quite in line with the preferences of some fallen people.

Ladislaus wasn't sure if he, too, had that demon inside him.

He only noticed that Mary's Habsburg lips were not so prominent, just like Her Majesty Ferdinand's.

Her little dent adds to her flair.

Bright eyes and bright teeth are like a person in a painting.

In terms of charm, I am afraid that he is comparable to himself and the dead Charles V, and only inferior to the contemporary emperor.

But this lady is not a great magician. According to Sazastan's information, she can only touch the fourth or fifth layer of the magic net.

It's a pity that the blood of the warlock also needs to be stimulated, which requires a lot of resources.

Even if the warlock royal family is rich and powerful, they are not so extravagant that they can fully develop the strength of the princess who is going to marry.

No matter how effective the bloodline is, if it is to be fully developed, it must be piled up with silver thalers.

Just compared to the Master.As long as a warlock invests by grasping one bloodline, it will not return the money.

Such a beautiful woman, it's a pity, Louis II was so lucky and so desperate to die.Why bother?

"Your Highness?" Mary frowned following Ladislaus' gaze.

Naturally beautiful, she has long been used to men's lustful eyes.

Strangely, she seemed content with that look today, and it made her feel guilty.

Neither she nor Ladislaus realized that this was a resonance between powerful warlocks.

There is no such strong resonance between Ladislaus and Katharina, and it is Mary, the more powerful sorceress, who inspires it.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I lost my composure. I just thought of His Majesty the Emperor because I saw you. If you get the chance, I'm afraid your strength may not be inferior to that of the Emperor."

"Hey." Ladislaus sighed, "If so, maybe this time we can turn things around!"

Ladislaus' words hit Mary's heart. [

She couldn't help being unable to control herself for a while when she heard the words, the inability to do what she wanted was the most painful thing in her heart.

No one except Ladislaus could tell, she would just say useless nonsense, thinking she was a useless mountain village woman.

Ladislaus realized that at this time, the surrounding Austrian and Hungarian nobles could not feel that they had lost their composure for a beautiful woman, even if they had doubts.

"His Majesty Louis is a great king, a representative of the noble spirit, and an outstanding national leader. Today we mourn him deeply. Although His Majesty the King has returned to heaven, his voice and smile will remain in the world forever. As long as the true God There is still one of the disciples who lives, and his heroic deeds will be passed down forever. These days, the people of Austria and Hungary are deeply saddened by the death of His Majesty Louis."

Ladislaus thinks his eulogy is of a good standard, but it is a pity that the eulogy pays attention to one-word praise and criticism. In fact, he has not touched the essence, but just piled up good words.

However, the Europa people have no inheritance in this aspect after all, and they could not appreciate the essence of it.

Most of the people present felt that the writing was quite good. Under the deliberate publicity of several Austrians, after knowing that it was written by Ladislaus himself, they naturally praised it again and again.

Since they fled north with the queen, they naturally wanted to find a new job under Ladislaus.

"These are the national pillars of Hungary. Most of the emergency loans you gave me have been used as housing expenses for them."

"It's really nice to be able to help a little bit."

This is indeed a usage that pleases Ladislaus, and these men and their families will always remember their help.

Based on these people and their contacts, he got a good cornerstone, which greatly strengthened the basis of his rule in Hungary.

It's just that today's theme must be to express condolences to the dead Louis. Except for the Minister of Finance, Horthy, no other Hungarians have been individually cited.

All the other Hungarians were scattered, and only he got the chance to have lunch with the two Habsburgs and Sarzastans.

"This is the Duke of Horthy." This is Queen Mary's introduction. He no longer has a position. Although the eldest brother has this title, he has always been more important in the family because he holds the key position of finance minister.

At this moment, Duke Horthy deeply realized that the power once given to him by the royal power no longer exists, and his value has returned to the range of an old nobleman.

How should he act in the future?

As he thought, the bacon and white bread were served.

Just next to the army, a simple banquet began.

It's just that Queen Mary suddenly thought of something before she took her seat: "Oh, Laszlo, there is one more thing."

I just greeted Princess Katharina, and now Mary naturally wants to call her cousin and brother-in-law with a more intimate name.

"When I was out of the city, I was kidnapped by a group of bandits. These bandits from Bilbao are called mercenaries and are actually bandits. It is very likely that they are colluding with heretics now. If you don't meet your subordinates in time , the situation is dangerous.”

"Oh, from Bilbao? Basques?" Ladislaus immediately realized what Mary meant. "Well, it must have colluded with heretics!"

The Basque issue has always been a destabilizing factor within Spain.

"Old John, you go and solve it."

"By the way, a quarter of the money you gave me was also taken away by those robbers. Don't lose it."

'I see. '

The money of the Basques hadn't been warmed up yet, but they wanted to lose their lives together.

They help no one can help the Habsburgs.

Duke Horthy's limbs felt cold when he heard it, and he was really vicious.

Under such a drastic change, there is actually such a tricky trick of cutting grass and roots.

And what about the Ladislaus money?

The scapegoat for the massacre when he left the city was also thrown out by the way.

It was so despicable, so shameful, and so admirable. (to be continued...)
