Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Vol 5 Chapter 9: Banquet changes

The roar is so loud that everyone's ears are buzzed and hummed instantly. The sound sounds like hundreds of wasps fluttering their wings at the same time. Wave after wave of shock came at the same time, people even suspected that there really seemed to be countless wasps coming from the palace in the distance.

Duke Carl's face changed, and he looked back. The yard was no different except for the frightened horse and the chicken who was scared to run around, but think about the origin of the sound, Karl I can't help but have a bad thought in my heart.

Sure enough, a person rushed into the hall in a hurry. He pushed away the crowd in front of him regardless of what he saw, and immediately ran to him when he saw Dagong, and he also shouted in a language that Alexander could not understand. What.

"He said that the enemy had invaded Ljubljana," because of this sudden change, Prince Gary, who was also somewhat at a loss, retreated to Alexander. At this time, he had regarded the count as his ally, although he did not know what happened. However, seeing the doubts revealed by Alexander, he immediately took the initiative to explain, "He said that the troops from Rome rushed into the city."

Speaking of this, the prince paused and then looked unexpectedly at Alexander: "It's yours, yours entered Ljubljana?"

"I just let them come and help me, rest assured that I am not interested in Cagnola." Alexander noticed the murky look on the prince's face. He knew that the young man had obviously not learned to hide his mind in his heart, probably Although he hated Archduke Carl, he thought that the Principality might be occupied by outsiders, but he didn't know how to deal with it.

Sure enough, the prince looked better after Alexander's words. He turned his head and stared at Duke Carl, who looked ugly. He seemed to be wondering whether to continue to challenge him or say some sarcasm in retaliation for the previous insult.

"What did you do?" Karl turned to look at Alexander at this time, because he didn't know whether it was a premeditated or an accident, so he could only try to calm his voice to restrain the anger that may erupt at any time, he Pushing away Princess Marchi Dovi a few steps forward to Alexandria, straightening up so that he can stare with Alexander "Your army has invaded my country, they are now building fortifications on the streets of Ljubljana, I want Knowing that this is not something you have prepared for a long time, otherwise I will make someone cut your head now. "

Once the Duke's voice fell, the Caniola nobles around him had already gathered around them. They surrounded Alexander and Prince Gary, and the anger from their angry eyes seemed to burn them at any time. Ashes.

"Balkans." Alexander whispered to himself that only he could hear the voice. He couldn't help but admit that these Balkans were fierce and tenacious. In fact, think that even the first-generation masters like Mohammed II have been beaten by these Balkan farmers. , You can know how difficult it is for people on this land.

But although the people here can be called natural warriors, Alexander did not believe that their nobles were as brave and sturdy as the people, but they did not have enough minds.

And smart people can always judge the situation properly.

"I just said to the prince, I am not interested in the Principality of Cagnola," Alexander ignored the Canoola nobles who would be rushing around at any time, walked to the table and picked up an empty cup to see if it was clean , I poured a glass of wine for myself, "I just want to be your arbiter. Do n’t forget that you ’re going to infringe on a Catholic. This is absolutely not allowed. In addition, you ’re trying to work as a prince of Marchi Dovi As a hostage, I ca n’t help but say that your practice made me have to express my concern about this matter. I will not interfere in the affairs between your two countries, but if this involves a Catholic country, I ca n’t help but express my concern. . "

"Marchi Dovi is not a country!" Grand Duke Carl roared angrily. "They are our princes. I am Grand Duke Caniola. I have the power to decide their destiny."

"You may indeed have this power, but you, Grand Duke, have forgotten what I said before," Alexander looked at the prince. "He is a Catholic, and the people of Marchiwei also believe in the Catholic, so I have no reason to refuse to lend a helping hand to them. "

"This is just your excuse, you want to intervene in my country," Karl reached out and pointed at Alexander with a slightly curved index finger. "But you forgot something, Count, you are here, your army may be Brave, but if they see only a dead person in the end, what do you think will happen to them? "

"Yes, what do you think they will be?" Alexander was not moved by the threat of the Grand Duke. "You probably don't know that my army was built on the basis of my people, and my daughter is about to be born, if I die They will continue to loyal to my daughter instead of breaking up immediately, and because I am a benevolent lord and gave them land, they are very loyal to me, so you think if they knew that I died here, what would they do Revenge you? Kill all of you clean or torture to death by learning your way? "

Grand Duke Carl stared at Alexander with a pale face, his eyes fixed on the motionless, seeming to want to know whether Alexander's words were true or false.

"And why do you think I want to come here?" Although Duke Carl's expression was severe, he didn't immediately order Alexander and guessed that his mind was a bit shaken at this time. If the Duke did really kill him before Now he is clearly hesitating whether it is worth it.

Alexander decided to take the opportunity to increase the hesitant burden of the Grand Duchy.

"The Ottoman army is coming, but this time they will not pass through Bogari but will take a long way. Why should Sudan do this? Is it just because the Bulgarian route is not safe? Can it pass Moldova and Caniora? Is it safe? "

As soon as Alexander's words came out, Duke Carl's expression could not help changing slightly.

This question has actually been raised after the arrival of the Sudanese emissaries, but although there are various concerns, in order to avoid conflicts with Sudan, whether it is a big country such as Moldova, Wallachia, or Canniola, it can only The small nations that are reluctant to accept can only pin their hopes on the promises of the emissaries of Sudan.

But Alexander knew that Bayesert II chose this route not only after careful consideration, but also with a very far-reaching purpose.

It is for this reason that he is still confident that he can persuade Duke.

"Sultan wants to capture Bucharest, but his bigger targets are Prague, Vienna, and even the Vatican," Alexander looked at Duke Karl and noticed that he had moved up and down because of his difficult sound. Continue to say "Although the suffering from the Bulgarian attack is equally great, but it is not so difficult to overcome, but the Sudan has chosen the current route because he needs to use this as the gate for his continued march westward. For this purpose, will the Ottomans keep the promises they made to you after they arrived in Caniola? "

Archduke Carl looked at Alexander silently. No one knew what he was thinking. Everyone looked at him, just waiting for his order.

After a while, Carl finally asked, "Do you mean that the Ottomans will completely occupy Caniola?"

"Maybe not, if Sultan is merciful, maybe he will keep your title as Grand Duke, which is also good for him, but they have forced you to promise that no more than 30 people can gather together. This may become a permanent clause, and he You may be asked to provide him with an army, just like he did to those Eastern tribes, and he may send his Vizier to Canola. "

"This is impossible," an elderly old man suddenly approached. "You are provoking. You must know that Sudan will not do such unbelievable things, not to mention if he wants to completely occupy Caniola. It ’s not difficult, why should he keep the title of Grand Duke in this way, you are just making excuses for your own life, of course, as you said, it is also for making excuses to bring the army to Caniola , Your real purpose is really just to protect yourself from the Ottomans. "

Alexander looked at the gray-haired old man, and looked at his disgusted face towards himself. Alexander couldn't help but wondering why, no matter why, there seemed to be no shortage of leading parties.

Although it is not certain that the old man was an Ottoman leader, Alexander could feel the person's aversion and aversion to him, or should not be said to him, but to the abomination and hatred of the Catholics and Westerners.

But there was no difference. When he saw this old man, Alexander remembered all the legends before Constantinople fell.

It is said that many East Romans even screamed that Constantinople would be handed over to pagans rather than Catholics because of their resentment and hostility towards Western countries and the Vatican.

Is this the East Roman version of "Ning and friends and not slaves"?

Perhaps for some Orthodox believers, the threat from the Vatican is more intense than that of the infidels, so that they would rather bear the rule of Sudan than accept the help of Western "brothers".

But Alexander didn't care about this, he just had to convince the people in front of him what he called "intention".

"The threat from the Sudan has shaken the Vatican, and the Pope has issued a decree to reorganize to fight the pagans." Alexander noticed that his words really caught the attention of the Caniola people around him, and people's eyes flashed in a trance. This made him decide to work harder. "I'm just acting as a leader. The army of other nobles will continue to come from the West, and I can tell you that other people will not have such good talk like me, they will not sit back and watch. Their brothers and sisters are insulted in this way, they will regard this behavior as a provocation to them. "

"Are you threatening us," Grand Duke Carl narrowed his eyes slightly. "I don't know why you came to Caniola, but everything here belongs to me."

"But they don't belong to you," Alexander looked at Princess Marchivi, who was beside the Grand Duke. "You should be ashamed of your actions, and I can't help but say that your actions have offended God."

"It's not up to you to judge whether my behavior offends God!" Karl raised his hand angrily and poked it firmly on Alexander's chest. "You invaded my country and your army broke into my city. If you think so It would be naive to end, I will not compromise because of the threat of you or anyone. "

"Isn't it because of the threat of Sudan?" Alexander said, glancing at the old nobleman before. "Maybe I misread you. Are you preparing to fight the tyranny of Sudan?"

Alexander's words made Duke Carl's face dark for a moment. His deformed shoulders undulated like two small hills because of his continuous gasping, and his small eyes showed a cold and cruel light.

"As long as I give the order, you will be cut into pieces," Karl looked at Alexander, his voice full of irritability and irritability, and it seemed to burst out at any time because he couldn't control it. "Tell me that's how you do Do you want to get into this trouble for them? "

"And I also said that if all of you had to pay for what you did, I was talking about everyone," Alexander looked around. "Whether it is a man, a woman, or a noble or a monk, My army will retaliate against all the people you see in this city, your loved ones will lose their lives because of this, your property will be looted, and your church will be overthrown, the city will be completely destroyed because of this, The reason for all this is simply the vanity of your Grand Duke. "

Alexander's words made people around me instantly panicked ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ Many people stared at Alexander with angry eyes, and some people showed hesitant looks on their faces.

"Don't be fooled!" The old aristocrat reminded the people around him "He was intimidating us, and the Venetians were intimidating and occupying the capital of Rome when Constantinople was the weakest, and then shamelessly gave Like wearing a crown, they just want to plunder us. "

Alexander looked at the old man, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked inadvertently at Busaco next to him.

Busaco's expression narrowed, and he already knew what Alexander was suggesting to him, but he did not act immediately.

As the captain of the guard, first of all, considering the safety concerns of Alexander, Busaco did not react quickly. At this moment, Princess Caniora, who had just left the banquet hall, suddenly appeared at the door.

Behind her, Gumpatti followed by a group of heavily armed Agri soldiers.

Seeing this scene, apart from Alexander and his men, everyone couldn't help but stunned.
