Old Sword Master

There are also people spreading hate speech against North Netherlands, saying that these Earth Element heretics must have colluded with the French, so they will not support Brussels.

South Netherlands, especially Brussels, the center of South Netherlands, is not only the dark sun loyal Spanish, but also the highest proportion of Dutch natives who believe in Dark Sun.

Princess and William-Na (Sao s膩o) looked at each other in blank dismay, and then eagerly moved towards the Governor’s Mansion.

Chapter 668 For the powerhouse, there is milk and honey everywhere

The Palace of the Female Viceroys in Brussels was built by Maximilian I half a century ago. He and his wife, one of the ladies with the most dowries in the history of mankind, lived here for Mary of Burgundy not very long. But it is said to be a very happy time.

The only disturbance during this period was the French. Of course, there was no French, and the Burgundian heiress would probably not choose him as her husband.

Maximilian I once delivered many exciting speeches here, assuring the Dutch people of their freedom and encouraging them to defeat France, who had just experienced the 100-year war, with limited Austrian support. Strong army.

“We will never let the French (yin y墨n) succeed. The Netherlands will fight to the last breath for freedom and peace. Even if my jewelry box is mortgaged, I will fight the French to the end!”

Times have changed, and now the ruler here is his daughter, Marguerite, the emperor鈥檚 agent, but what remains unchanged is the French ambition for the Netherlands. No French king of the Valois family can accept the Valois family. The property and titles of the Gendy branch were seized by the Habsburg family.

Marguerite wanted to continue to face the difficulties faced by her grandfather. As usual, something went wrong in the Netherlands, and France began to mobilize troops across the border.

“Warlock Imperial Family is 10000 years old!”

“Praise the emperor, and wish him 10000 lives!”

“Fran莽ais don’t want to succeed!”

Every time a French invades, the atmosphere in the governor鈥檚 mansion must be quite good overall. From the female governor Margaret to the Dutch nobles to the powerful figures in the wealthy cities, everyone is afraid of the French. .

even more how Recently the French not only colluded with the Ottomans, but also seemed to collude with another kind of demons, which really scared me to death.

Especially Liege Archbishop George-Austria. He returned to Liege and saw the attacked place outside the city was very deserted. The French army, scared to death, hurried back to solid Brussels.

This is not the only reason he was frightened.

Although a considerable part of the Dutch nobles came to the Netherlands with the Burgundian branch of the Valois family, that is, the ancestors of Mary of Burgundy, the ones closer to France have been around 50 years ago. After parting ways with the Habsburg family, the remaining part has basically been integrated into Dutch society, and of course some of it has been connected with his relationship with France.

“We must not only deal with the French, but also deal with the problems in the rear. Now the French are colluding with demons and causing a rebellion in our rear. The rebellion they have created has severed the connection between Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Brussels. We must Stop this year鈥檚 tax collection work so that Sir Alex and city councils everywhere can use the materials to mobilize the troops, so as not to be poisoned by the demon Rotterdam鈥檚 representative Van der Heiden.鈥?The speaker is a city council member in Amsterdam, Chang. Sinkerhofen based in Brussels.

鈥淢r. Sinkerhofen is very right.鈥?Van der Heiden, the representative of Rotterdam, rarely agrees with the opinion of the representative of Amsterdam, although behind them are a core pastor of the Earth Element Church. 鈥淚n addition to stopping paying taxes, I also I hope that the female governor can explain to the emperor Your Majesty the current situation in the Netherlands. We need not only tax exemptions, but also subsidies. The northern part of the Netherlands has been greatly damaged, including my own three estates, which have been destroyed by demons. We need help.”

The female Governor Margaret looked at these two representatives with a solemn expression. The southern part of the Netherlands has always been stationed by Spanish troops because of the threat from France, although the emperor generally operates in the Netherlands and does not want to make money. , But the military鈥檚 burden on the local area is definitely still relatively large.

Therefore, the North Netherlands traditionally subsidizes the South Netherlands, even if the pirates in England and Denmark are more active in recent years, the intensity of these heretical pirates is still worse than that of the Burberry pirates. The relationship between England and Spain is not Good, but the same is true between Britain and France. The blood feud in the 100 Years War still needs more time to wash away, and Denmark’s primary interest is still in the Baltic Sea. The competition with Sweden, the Hanseatic League, and Poland is the most important for Denmark. of.

As the French-Ottoman diplomatic letters and secret envoys continued to go back and forth over the past year, and the two sides approached an open alliance step by step, the emperor paid more and more attention to Mediterranean affairs, and his speech on the northern issue gradually decreased, and he was even unwilling to meet 2 Danish Princesses. In fact, England and Denmark were unable to stop the exploration through the northern route. The contradictions between the two sides were eased. England and Denmark also made it clear that their navies would never participate in the attack on the Netherlands. If the current privateer pirates are caught by the Spanish That would never end well. Some privateer captains were not careful, leaving evidence when they sold the stolen goods in London or Copenhagen, and they were caught by Spanish spies. England and Denmark also pinched their noses and confiscated their property. , To give Spain as compensation.

However, the nobles and city councils of the North Netherlands still cling to this reason, and they have other concerns recently.

“For the fight against the French, we Dutch, as loyal ministers of the emperor, will never refuse. As long as the female governor allocates funds and materials to us, we must all go to Brussels to fulfill our obligations to the emperor.”

“Your Excellency Female Governor, we need support. The best representative of our Van Dijk family has disappeared this time in the exploration of the Flameless Furnace.”

“Your Excellency, our Van Persie family expedition team also lost a lot when exploring the Flameless Furnace. As a survivor, my younger brother was lucky enough to come back. He said that there is no need to talk about (濂秐菐i) and honey, even water. I can鈥檛 drink it, and Sir William-Na (Sao s膩o) disappeared while rescuing some immigrants who were brought by fraudulent heretics. There is more than one reliable nobleman who can prove that the noblewoman of Sules and demons are indispensable. The accusation relationship caused the failure of our crusades. We doubt that some (rape ji膩n) fraudulent heretics colluded with the true pope of Rome to deceive the emperor and cheat our loyal ministers in Spain?!”

The Viceroy Margaret looked at the sad-faced Prince of Orange. He was obviously very worried about his cousin and heir. The Viceroy was also worried about Christina Princess. There were rumors that she and William Na (Sao s膩o) ) Were sacrificed by demons.

The Van Persie family is very rude to the true pope. They are the family that most opposes the Dark Sun Church in Rome. They have always hoped to openly recommend that the Netherlands be the pure parish of the Earth Element Church, so that the followers of Dark Sun can come Go to other territories of the emperor.

They took part in the adventure of the plane relatively early, and they adhered to the attitude of first attacking first, and they attacked the “fireless furnace” at the earliest. The situation seems not very good.

“Your Excellency, I think it is necessary for us to explain our plight to the emperor…” Prince Lightly of Orange said in the ear of the female governor. “In order to mobilize the power of the Netherlands, it is necessary to reduce or forgive some debts… I also suggest taking advantage of it. Before the French invaded, he made a powerful tour of the Netherlands to find out what is going on in the city of Sules.”

“Van Persie, waste, I always knew you and your younger brother are waste!”

At this moment, the female Governor Margaret suddenly heard a long-awaited voice, Christina Princess was all right, and she was very angry.

William-Na (Sao s膩o) was still considering how to talk, and the lady next to him was already furious. Christina Princess rushed to the representative of the Van Persie family in one step: “You incompetent things are worthy of accusing Lord Wood Lombard? He has destroyed the evil spirits!”

“Her Highness the Princess, do you have a mental problem? Wood-Lombard just answered Madrid 3 days ago.” Lord Van Persie shouted, “He is spreading the so-called intelligence of the true pope in Madrid. Let us go to the fireless furnace to die. “

“Hehe, base and shameless slander, take (sao s膩o) Earl, take out the remains of the demons!” Christina Princess sneered, William-Na (sao s膩o) brought a pile of broken bones in front of the Viceroy Margaret , The female governor and the prince of Orange felt a burst of pressure as soon as they took them, knowing that this was indeed the wreckage of a powerful demon.

“Although some weak and faltering troops were defeated by this demon, we got the remains of the demon. It has been defeated by us and supported by the Lord of the Souls and Lord of the Storm. K sent Lord Wood-Lombard and destroyed it. These demons.鈥?Princess Christina shouted loudly, 鈥淲e also got a lot of demonic remains that can be used to make spell-casting materials. Not only that, now the road between Amsterdam and Rotterdam has been opened up and order is restored. Next, North Netherlands will It is our reliable rear to fight the invasion, Na (Sao s膩o) Earl, don’t you think?”

“I don鈥檛 have any doubts about the strength of Your Excellency Wood, but I鈥檓 not sure about the situation in the North Netherlands, and I still need His Royal Highness Margaret to be vigilant.” William Na (Sao s膩o)鈥檚 tone was not very good. He said to Princess. My own troops are dissatisfied when they say that they are weak and shaken, and it is already a great restraint to not directly refute them.

“Hmph!” Christina Princess knew it too, but this time they both failed. She felt that it was not her fault, it was the fault of these Dutch people, and continued, “I also believe that the fireless furnace must be A place full of opportunities, just like the Jerusalem that was conquered by the first Crusades. Of course there are (濂秐菐i) and honey, but they must have the strength to seize them. For the incompetent rats, going to Holy Land is to give heads to Saladin. For real warriors, they must destroy Saladin, take the (濂秐菐i) and honey that flows everywhere, and also have a crown, many ducal collars and dozens of Earl collars to obtain! Who is spreading the rumors? Is it that De Ligt, who slandered Wood all the way? I think he should be arrested immediately and then asked to go to the Inquisition to explain the problem!”

Saladin was the opponent of the 3rd Crusade, and the family was not destroyed. Princess obviously confused the most famous enemy with the first enemy, but the Netherlands including William Na (Sao s膩o) People just said so in the belly.

And Delicht no longer knew where to go.

“Okay, okay, well said!” Seeing that the situation has been more favorable, Governor Margaret decided to stop the meeting here, “Good Christina, my good Christina, good job! You go to the office first Tell me about the situation this time.”

…

The change from (rape ji膩n) deceitful heresy to killer hero is great. The Netherlands will provide Wood with many benefits in the coming days, but for the time being, Wood does not know all this.

He is spinning around in the army left by the seniors. It is really a chore to calculate the direction and depth continuously in the sweltering tunnel, and because Fedus Lagar, a good helper, cannot help at all on this issue, so In a sense, this is more laborious than cutting a general.
