Warlock Royal Family

"The general has an order to set up camp here today." A messenger officer on horseback galloped by, and his words made the soldiers cheer.

After a day of walking on the mountain roads of the Apennines, the soldiers from Venice finally had a rest.

"Today, I walked so many wrong ways, those guides are really deceitful." A soldier looked at the blisters on his feet and cursed the guide.

"Pull it down, it's better to walk slowly. Didn't you hear that the Spanish army didn't go to France, but came to Rome. We walked too fast, wouldn't it be over if we bumped into each other?!" A small captain was quite shocked. Well-informed. "Which one of those Spanish elites can beat you ten."

"If we have 10 horses, we will definitely not be afraid of them." Although the soldier also understood that this is better, he did not agree with his commander's ten to one statement. "Besides, we also took back Dalmatia!"

After Ladislaus repelled the Ottomans, the Venetian Republic also managed to recover several key fortresses on the east coast of the Adriatic Sea. Venice ruled that area for a long time, so Goriti Minor could mobilize the local The Venetians joined his army.

However, compared to the fighting power of the Venetians, the main reason for this victory is obviously that the Ottomans are reorganizing and shrinking.

It's just that Cardinal Fangesse doesn't seem to like this situation very much.

"Your Highness Goriti, what happened? Why didn't your army catch up!" Cardinal Fonnese led the lead troops to clear the way for the army of Venice the day before yesterday, but after he had walked more than [-] kilometers, he The remaining contacts never found the Venetian army, so he had to go back to find the little Goriti's army, and then he found the place where they broke up the day before yesterday.The Venetian army only advanced less than ten kilometers. [

"Is this my fault? The Duke of Urbino fled the camp overnight with his men and horses. Now the whole army is in fear and panic. It will be very difficult for me to control their entire army to advance, and what you provided There is a problem with the guide. We were taken into the wrong river valley, which delayed our trip to defend Rome!" Little Goriti's anger and disappointment seemed real, Cyric's divine power not only made him strong, but also His acting skills have greatly improved.

Little Goriti has a close relationship with the Cyric Church, so don't choose to accept the request of Cardinal Fonnese, but the Duke of Urbino has no such need.

He thought the Duke of Bourbon was going to attack France.That's why he agreed to take the men and horses to act together with the little Goriti.

Unexpectedly, now the Duke of Bourbon is coming straight to Rome, and behind him is the equally powerful Ladislaus.

He is very interested in robbing him in the empty Naples area, but don't look for him in the field regiment that is always victorious against Spain.

He had no hope that anything Fonnese could say could be divided.

Because the duke who has been dealing with Spain and the Church of Rome for a long time knows that even if the two Habsburg armies do not merge, the Naples Corps is far stronger than their so-called army.

As a veteran who has also experienced many battles, the Duke has a very clear judgment on fighting the Duke of Bourbon.That is "There will be no battle at all, only a massacre."

After leaving this sentence, he directly returned to his territory with a part of the cash given to him by the peasants and Fangnese from the Roman Church.

His envoys had already met Ladislaus and offered tens of thousands of talers of food and supplies, begging Ladislaus to forgive him for not being able to prevent the powerful Venetian army from landing.

"The Duke of Urbino fled in fear of the enemy, and he will definitely be severely punished by His Majesty the Chosen Pope. But even without him, we are still capable of defending Rome. The three guides I provided are excellent native hunters. Could it be that all three of them will be at the same time? I can’t tell which river valley leads to Rome!” In order to guide the reinforcements, Cardinal Fonnesse provided very thoughtful services, not only did the churches and monasteries along the way do their best to provide supplies, but also all kinds of familiar Terrain guide. "Not to mention, you have Justinian's map!"

"You know very well that your Justinian's map has lost its ability to guide accurately. Many places are not sensitive. It is only suitable for decoration in the monarch's room. One or two of the three guides are Habsburgs. A spy of the family." Little Goriti knew that he could not fool Cardinal Fangesse.But he still killed all the guides without hesitation. Believe it or not, it's up to you to do it or not. "He killed the other guides, and then misled me. Before he was killed by me, he had already made us walk dozens of detours."

After a short silence, Archbishop Fangesse took a deep breath, and then said in a still calm voice: "So you have made a decision."

"I didn't make the decision, but we really couldn't fight the Duke of Bourbon before Spain and the Austrians merged." Cyric could tolerate lies and self-preservation, but he would severely punish such straightforward behavior.

"Then I can only let His Majesty the Chosen Pope come down to judge!" Fangnese's words touched the nerves of the little Goriti. [

"I sincerely want to defend the great church and Rome, so I have to be careful. The guide you provided made me doubt your loyalty to the Roman church." The little brother waved his hand, a dozen A Venetian warrior rushed forward and dragged Fangnese and his party off the horse in full view.

"Your Majesty, here is a letter from Cardinal Fonnese." In the Sistine Chapel, Cardinal Orsini was presenting reports from various places to the Pope Elect, and His Majesty Medici listened to the report while eating.

Because of several transactions with Ladislaus, the Orsini family gained a lot of wealth and expanded their influence in the city of Rome.

The Orsini family is a pure Roman nobility with deep roots, and His Majesty the Medici Pope needs his support in order to regain control of the Florentine Republic and attack the Pisa area.

Now the senior cardinal has obtained the position second only to the true pope.

"Just read it to me." Pope Zhenxuan picked off a piece of garlic pork ribs and said without raising his head.

The pork ribs on the plate were neatly stacked and looked symmetrical and exquisite, but they were very loose in his hands. He pulled the bones with his fingers and they all slipped into his mouth.

"Your Majesty, Archbishop Fonnese accused the dictator of Goriti of fearing the enemy and avoiding war. After writing this letter, he went to reprimand him and suggested that you take back the fleet in Venice Island as punishment."

"Hmm, um." Cardinal Orsini didn't know if His Majesty the Pope was listening.

Pieces of hot meat mixed with expensive spices danced on the tongue of Pope Zhenxuan. The charming aroma made it difficult for Cardinal Orsini to concentrate. The Pope's cooking skills are really far behind. Perhaps the traditional dishes of Europa can be done well, but this exotic delicacy is really beyond their capabilities.

"He provided quite a lot of testimonies and evidence, showing that Little Goriti not only deliberately delayed the marching time, but also despicably murdered several loyal guides he provided." However, the leader can be happy, and the subordinates must report respectfully.

His Majesty the Pope Zhenxuan ate very elegantly, but he ate very quickly. A large plate full of garlic bones soon left only the bones.

"Cuckoo." The taste buds on every tongue were fascinated by the mellow sweet and sour taste, and half a glass of cognac red wine fell down his esophagus and finally mixed with the pork in his stomach.

"The next thing is the letter from the consul of Goriti." Cardinal Orsini drove all this out of his mind and continued to report.

"Just keep reading." Garlic-flavored shrimp is followed by smooth shrimp. Although the shrimp is simply passed through the egg white, it perfectly retains the protein of the Mediterranean shrimp, and it is carefully prepared by Oswald. The dipping sauce is really refreshing from the tongue to the soul.

"The dictator of Goriti accused the guide provided by Cardinal Fangese of deliberately leading the wrong way, so that he could not arrive at the scheduled battlefield in time. What follows is his original words, although he does not want to doubt Cardinal Fangese Faith and devotion to His Majesty, but at this critical moment, any caution cannot be too much, he has already controlled Cardinal Fangesse, waiting for your ruling, he is so brave!" O Cardinal Ursini didn't read too many letters of mutual accusation, he could see the problem almost at a glance. "The letter said that he killed all the guides. This is obviously a silence. This shameful man has received such support from you and so much love from His Majesty God. We must not forgive him lightly! But the most urgent thing is to cancel the mobilization. Thousands of troops preparing to support the Venetians should not leave Rome."

Of course, don't say that the facts are so clear, even if Fangnese is talking nonsense, Cardinal Orsini will support him.

The Orsini and the Funneses were ancient allies in the city of Rome.

"Also, please reprimand the daring Goriti, and tell him not to hurt Cardinal Fangesse." Although he didn't believe that Goriti really dared to hurt Farnese, Orsini still asked the true election Pope howling.

However, His Majesty the Pope Zhenxuan did not respond positively to this. He just rolled the plump and juicy shrimp into his mouth.

"This is just a trivial matter. Please tell me about the meeting between Habsburg and Doria in Mantua."

"Oh, the latest news confirms the original rumors" (to be continued...)
