Warlock Royal Family

"Your Highness Telamante, how long have you been gone?" Although tens of thousands of people were clamoring inside and outside the city, everyone inside the city walls, including Mythrella, could clearly hear the voice of the Pope Chosen. "With the help of His Majesty François and you, the careerists of the Habsburg family can only end in blood."

By announcing the identity of this person to the entire city, the true pope stabilized his own people and deterred the ready enemies.

Misrella's eyes widened suddenly, and the person worthy of the Pope's move was certainly not an unknown person.

No wonder this person still looks so vague under the sun.

Mythrella cast a "true seeing" on herself, and a mottled face that could make people have nightmares appeared in her eyes.

Teramante-Tanshul, the soul of shadows, a powerful spellcaster with the same name as Sazarstan, has come to Rome.

"It is my honor to be able to defend Rome. The ambition of the Habsburg family to dominate the world is unacceptable to all those who love freedom and peace." Shure will of course treat faith flexibly at this time. "Take the crown, plunder the cities and burn the villages, conspire with the wicked heretics, and carve up the kingdom loyal to God. Their greed and arrogance must be punished."

It is never politically wrong to accuse the other side of colluding with heretics.

After all, it was a military emergency, and the greetings between Pope Zhenxuan and Old Tan Shuer lasted less than 5 minutes before they got to the point: "I believe you have seen the wrath of God."

"It's really amazing creativity and execution." Old Tan Shuer has seen drawings and models more than once, but this is the first time he has seen the real thing. "It shouldn't be a problem. It's different from a trebuchet. But I've made the necessary changes."

After the old Tan Shuer finished this sentence.He stood in front of a cannon and began to cast spells.

"For the emperor, for the warlock royal family."

"Long live the Emperor!"

The shouts outside the city were louder and louder.

After a yell, the Spaniards began to advance towards Rome. They had no trebuchets or revolving crossbows, but they were confident that they did not need such things.

A mere Italian coward, how can we stop our Spanish warriors? !

With such self-confidence, the Spaniard stepped firmly towards the city wall.

The pure white cloak of the Duke of Bourbon fluttered in the wind.All soldiers can see their commander and know that he is fighting with them.

He galloped from the horse and waved to his subordinates on the nimble steed.

This distance is the limit of the trebuchet. Although the enemy may have the scroll of "Talking about Shure's Advanced Aiming Technique", it is utterly unreasonable to use such an expensive scroll at this distance to gain a one in ten thousand chance.

The Duke of Bourbon deliberately chose this marginal distance, which is good for morale and does not pose any real danger.

Yes, there is no danger if the opponent does not have brand new weapons.There is no old talk about Shure casting spells himself.

The Pope Zhenxuan raised his scepter, and all the artillery teams took their positions and began to load the shells.At the same time, Old Tan Shuer's spellcasting was almost over.

Although it was the first time to cooperate in actual combat, Zhenxuan Pope relied on his ability to see all directions to grasp the timing just right.

When the Spaniards entered 200 meters below the city wall, the artillery fired!

One of them, under the guidance of old Tan Shuer, went straight to Charles-Bourbon-Capet, who was once a dignitary of the French royal family and is now the source of anxiety in the French kingdom.

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

The port of the Principality of Siena has not been prosperous for a long time. Not to mention compared to commercial centers like Liguria and Venice, it is much inferior to the second-tier ports of Pisa and Ostia.

But recently, the port has been quite busy.

On the surface of the sea, another huge fleet sailed into the port of the Principality of Siena today. Although today is rough and there is no moonlight, it is not a good day to enter the port.

Moreover, the Siena navigation lights had been extinguished a few days ago, and the entire channel was in darkness.

Stealthily sailing into a port that does not welcome you on a dark night, even the most elite Spanish sailors in the world today feel very nervous. This is definitely a difficult technical and tactical operation for them.

The tide, the channel, and the nearby fishermen may cause them great trouble.

Fortunately, they are not without unique advantages. Under the current, there are guides who understand hydrology to guide them.

With the help of the underwater guides, the Spaniards maintained their formation and never deviated from the channel.

None of the fishermen wanted to escape after seeing the fleet. They all lowered their sails and surrendered honestly, letting the Spanish sailors take over their ships. This is indeed a wise choice.

The captains followed the lead ship where the commander of the squadron was located, and the lead ship followed the flagship, sailing into the port one by one.

After a round of replenishment at the Port of Cadiz, these fleets did not resupply in Seville or Barcelona, ​​but directly crossed the entire Western Mediterranean and arrived in Cagliari, Sardinia. The unexpected presence of enemies of the Boothburgs on the coastline of the Apennine peninsula.

"Please tell Master Holbalu Karuru, our Habsburg family will never forget his support." Ladislaus said to a strange humanoid creature after he set foot on the land of Siena.

This humanoid creature with a fish head is covered with fish scales, and its skin is gray as a whole, occasionally with a brown luster.

It was these creatures who navigated the Spanish fleet and slew the lighthouse keeper, leading Ladislaus' forces into Siena without anyone knowing it.

"Now you have completed half of your work. As long as everything goes smoothly, the conditions promised to you by the emperor and I will be fulfilled." After receiving the guarantee from Ladislas, the creature moved like a human noble. He bowed and saluted, and then jumped into the water with his subordinates.

"These guys are all criminals who robbed law-abiding businessmen in the Kingdom of Spain!" The Spanish fleet commander obviously had doubts about this ally.

"It is said that the New World is vast and empty, full of uncultivated virgin land, enough to accommodate tribes with hundreds of people." Ladislaus doesn't care, anyway, the emperor wants this race to be used by him. In fact, Ferdinand is for anyone who can He has a positive attitude towards strengthening his sea power. The governors of Spain are all clamoring for reinforcements from Madrid. Even if the reinforcements may be a double-edged sword, Ferdinand has to hold on tightly. "I believe that as a wise enough leader, Master Holbalu Karuru would not want to fight against the invincible Spanish main fleet no matter what."

It is extremely tough, which is why Spain dared to incorporate robbers into its wings.

"Are you sure we are the only ones to launch the attack?" The commander of the Spanish fleet must obey the command of Ladislaus on land, but they still have a certain degree of autonomy. "Wouldn't it be more assured to wait another two hours. His Majesty's [-] troops are behind. According to intelligence, the enemy has tens of thousands of people after all."

"Yes, Your Majesty, we have already infiltrated the city. Next, we just need to build a few solid bridgeheads. We just need to hold a few bridgeheads before the emperor's army arrives." .

"The heads of the Colonna family are in the port instead of the city. This is a good opportunity to wipe them out. If you provide me with two thousand sailors to attack together, these mobs are no match for me." Ladis Rouse had good ears and eyes in the Principality of Siena, and he knew that the Marquise Facchetti had left the city to avoid the possible front of the Duke of Bourbon, and hid in a port further south with more troops. "After the emperor's army arrived, the sky was also bright. If the enemy organizes, it will cause us a lot of trouble. Amphibious warfare is one of the most complicated forms of warfare. Even if we still win, we will inevitably suffer great losses. It is also impossible to capture the head of the enemy alive."

Another reason that was not stated was that the emperor did not want to directly participate in the war because of the huge number of Cyric followers in Spain.

Unlike those Neapolitan legions that had been stimulated by looting and had no restraint, the troops brought by the emperor from Spain did not even know that they were coming to attack the Church of Rome.

It's just that this army is not only the reserve team for this battle, but also the final strategic general reserve team of the entire Spanish Empire. Risks must be controlled as much as possible.

Although this combat plan had been determined long ago, Ladislaus still took the trouble to fully explain the reasons for his actions. The most important thing in joint operations is solidarity and unity.

"As you wish, Your Majesty." The two Spanish commanders had no psychological barriers to obeying the command of a Habsburg king. After being fully respected, the fleet commander returned to his station, and Gallia Baron Ney joined the disembarked sailors. (to be continued..)
