Warlock Royal Family

1526 5 Month 5 Day.

The Legion of Naples reached the city of Rome, and they traveled surprisingly quickly in the last few days.

In order to enjoy the wealth in the city of Rome to themselves, they restrained their desires along the way, did not rob a few towns along the way, but marched at high speed for several days with aspirations.

The concerted efforts of these enthusiastic and energetic officers and soldiers succeeded in reaching the sacred city of Europa before the main force of the United Kingdom overtook them.

"It's such a pity, Your Excellency Witin, it seems that His Majesty the King will not be able to catch up with tomorrow's siege in time." Most of the United Kingdom's troops were two days behind, and only a few cavalry led by Witin followed up.

"I still suggest that you wait another two days to gain an absolute advantage in terms of strength. Our army is right behind." Witin knew that the Duke of Bourbon would never agree. "And Cardinal Orsini also needs a little more time to contact other families."

There are quite a few local nobles who secretly oppose the Medici's true election of the pope, but initiating a rebellion is not just a matter of intention, it requires certain temptations and compromises.

"Any delay is really too dangerous. We don't know the situation around the city of Rome at all. This is the holy city of the dark sun. Countless peasants are willing to defend the city with their lives. The enemy's relief army will swarm in at any time. Only Victory is ensured by attacking the city at once with vigor." This is complete nonsense, and no amount of Peasants' Volunteers would be a match for the Neapolitan Legion, if they existed at all. "The power of the Orsini family alone is enough to cause enough chaos in the city."

The Duke of Bourbon was determined to win Rome, and he was determined to have this rich city to himself.In his opinion, not to mention the troops of Ladislaus, even the support of the Orsini family is dispensable, and he is really saddened to lose a piece of fat.

The Roman Church has stored countless treasures of gold and silver and magnificent works of art in this city, and there is even a secret library where countless strange objects are buried in legends. The Duke of Bourbon is unwilling to share it with Ladislaus.

"Your troops don't have to take part in the siege, but I guarantee you will get the best area to collect the loot." Of course, the Duke of Bourbon is not willing to let things go, he still needs Lardy on the way to regain the Duchy of Bourbon The support of Slaus, considering the poor finances of the emperor and the large amount of spoils that Ladislaus obtained in Bohemia, the value of this support is not inferior to the support of the emperor now, not to mention that Ladislaus Si also found a very important insider for him.

After Kessell Witting hesitated and struggled for a long time.Finally rejected the Duke of Bourbon's suggestion: "His Majesty the King asked me to always stick to your camp outside the city after you attack or enter the city. Ensure the safety of your army."

Although the robbery in the city will inevitably give Kessell-Viting the opportunity to make a lot of money for Ladislaus and at the same time, he dare not violate Ladislaus' orders, even though he It seems too conservative.But he dared not violate it.

"I have arranged for the United Netherlands to take charge of the security work. Please don't worry." Although the Duke of Bourbon did not believe that any so-called relief troops would dare to come and die.But let the hapless Dutchman take care of the possible drudgery.

"This is an order from His Majesty the King." Kessell-Viting still shook his head. Although Ladislaus seldom severely sanctioned pervasive corruption and nepotism, he repeatedly emphasized to Kessell-Viting this time. completed his task.The minimum result of flagrantly violating his orders is deprivation of all positions and honors.

After persisting for a while, the Duke of Bourbon finally accepted Kessell-Witting's resolute attitude.

This was actually what he wished for. The cavalry of the United Kingdom was very valuable for holding the formation. The Dutch had accumulated a lot of grievances all the way south, and allowing them to enter the city to rob would greatly ease the contradictions within the Spanish army.

"Please rest assured that I will never ignore His Majesty the King and your support. Even if your cavalry does not enter the city, I will still ensure that the United Kingdom and you personally will get a suitable spoil." Of course, the Duke of Bourbon did not Will forget this guarantee.

"And the property of the Orsini family that agreed to support us in the city should be preserved as much as possible." This is another request of Ladislaus, he wants to protect those who support him.

"Of course, of course." It's just that the Duke of Bourbon doesn't intend to do his best. Anyway, after the chaos in Rome, the Orsini family can get compensation from other families, so it's not a big deal to grab the first round.

...................

Important members of the Orsini family and their new friends are gathering on the spire of the Orsini family church, where they can see most of the Roman city wall and the flying banners outside the city.

The black eagle on the yellow background on the banner, and a certain red and white crown symbolize that this army is serving the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.

"His Royal Highness Orsini, what are those round pipes on the top of the city?" Misrella asked Orsini beside him softly.

"The Medici guy called them the wrath of God. According to that general Ferrucci, it can blow a man off a horse two kilometers away." Orsini sounded like a joke to Mies Rilla explained, "It's pathetic that they've kept it a secret for so long, and they've come up with something so ridiculous that they're pinning their hopes of fighting the warlock royal army on the alchemists' ingenuity."

"Indeed, it's sad." Misrella understood that Orsini was not really unscrupulous.

Last night, the troops of the Medici family and the Swiss Guard, who were absolutely loyal to the true pope, mobilized overnight and moved more than twenty bronze cannons to the artillery positions on the city wall.

Then Orsini canceled the plan to launch a riot early this morning, but decided to start the uprising after the Duke of Bourbon broke through the city gate. Although Misrella repeatedly persuaded him to act earlier, he was resolutely unmoved.

It would be better to accept the request of the true elect Pope, hand over some of the family's private soldiers to the command of General Ferrucci, and only keep the elite of less than 500 people near the Orsini mansion.

He also had great dissatisfaction with the Habsburg family. After the Duke of Bourbon arrived in Rome, his mighty military might had caused quite a panic in the city.

Give him two to three days to plan, and it is entirely possible to find other supporters among the Roman nobles who stayed in the city. At that time, he can gain greater influence and retain more of the city's essence.

However, the Duke of Bourbon did not respond to Mysrilla and his request to delay the siege for a few days.

This not only made Orsini dissatisfied but also made Misrilla helpless.

However, she was very dissatisfied with this and could only accept it. Of course, Misrilla still had the confidence to rely on her, Enxi, and the elite team composed of dozens of subordinates of Sirica's boss, and it was still possible to play a decisive role.

After all, the Spanish army outside the city is strong enough.

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

A horse carrying a knight in a white cloak galloped past the formation, and the Duke of Bourbon appeared in the sight of everyone on both sides.

Tens of thousands of Spanish soldiers were watching him, and the flag bearer behind him held a golden lily flag on a blue background, indicating that he was a member of the Capet family.

Tens of thousands of people cheered like a tsunami to their commander in chief. They were sincerely paying tribute to the heroes who led them to get rich.

"The warriors of His Majesty the Emperor...a victory awaits you today...wealth and honor..." Misrilla saw the Duke of Bourbon stop his horse after galloping for a while Come, raise his sword and address his men.

Although the voice of the Duke of Bourbon was intermittent in the wind, even if he could only hear a few fragmented sentences one after another, Misrella could feel the speaker's pride and desire to conquer.

At the same time, Misrella saw a commotion on the part of the city where the Pope Zhenxuan was located. An old man who she couldn't see clearly but seemed familiar walked up the city wall. The Pope Zhenxuan walked several steps to the city wall. The stairs meet him. (to be continued..)
