Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

The appearance of Princess Caniola shocked many people.

For a time, countless eyes looked at the princess and the team of soldiers who walked in with her.

Several nobles of Caniola tried to stand up to stop these sudden outsiders, but they were greeted by a musket with a strong gun oil smell before them.

After entering the banquet hall, the hunting guards immediately guarded the surrounding entrance. At the same time, under the leadership of Compati, a group of soldiers walked through the crowd and came to Alexander.

"Sir," Gompati saluted Alexander a little, and then shouted "Protect Sir!"

"what!"

A timid cry hovered over the banquet hall, and the hunting guards quickly formed a small square array around Alexander, protecting Alexander and the people around him in the middle.

Duke Carl's face was full of surprises. He looked at his aunt doubtfully, not knowing why she would suddenly come in with these people. Although the answer like this doesn't even need to be explained, he just didn't understand why Kanio Princess La will suddenly oppose him and feel surprised and puzzled.

Even until Princess Caniora left the hunting guards and walked in front of him, Carl's face remained unbelievable with a strange expression.

"Why?" Carl finally asked, and he saw that the princess was not intimidated by these people. Instead, she was taking these people in. "Why are you against me, what did they promise you?"

The princess looked at Carl silently, and after a while whispered, "There is no condition, I just ask them not to hurt you."

"Don't hurt me?" Dagong's emotions suddenly became agitated. He reached out and grabbed the hand of Princess Caniora, disregarding her pain because of the pain, and asked her loudly, "I'm Carney The Grand Duke of Ola is the master of this country, who can hurt me? Is he still you, or anyone else? "

"Karl, don't you understand?" The princess struggled while arguing. "Neither the Ottomans nor the Western countries can compete with them, and you are too cruel. This is not like your father. You want to completely annex Maldives, and even want to bloodbath the Catholic Church there. Do n’t you know that this may lead to revenge in the Vatican? "

"Just because of this you betrayed me, betrayed your king and loved ones?" Carl looked at the hunting guards and questioned his aunt in angrily. "You think they can beat me, don't forget that I can call enough troops, here It ’s Caniola. You forgot that Mohammed II, who was known as the Conqueror, had suffered a terrible defeat in this land. Do you think these people can compare with him? "

"But now you can't even convene more than 30 people," Alexander said sarcastically. "And I can assure you that as long as you dare to recruit the armed forces, the Sudanese army will immediately find enough reasons to invade Caniola. At that time, no reason could keep your crown prince. "

Karl stared angrily at Alexander, his eyes flashing out of anger, and hesitant at times, as if he didn't know what to do at this moment.

"Your Majesty believes me, such a threat is meaningless," the old noble whispered next to Carl. Although watching the rifles in the hunting guards was a little dazed, he had to speak when Carl was hesitant. "Your Majesty, do n’t be intimidated by their intimidation. If the Sudan knows that we are only convening the army for self-protection, it will not blame us. I believe many people will be willing to testify for you. They will prove that you are completely out of Helpless, even in order to eliminate the enemy with Sudan, he had to violate his will. "

Carl's heart moved with the old noble's words. He glanced at the old man suspiciously. After he nodded gently, Carl's eyes gradually became firmer.

Alexander had been paying attention to the old man, although he didn't know what the man said to Carl, but it was not difficult to guess if he thought about it.

His eyes flicked towards Busako again, this time Busaco nodded inadvertently.

"Duke, have you made a decision?" Alexander asked loudly, "I know this is a very difficult decision, but you should understand that if you can't dominate others, you should at least learn how to control your desires, otherwise You can only get yourself into a worse dilemma. "

Karl's face was somber, he could vaguely understand what Alexander said. His eyes seemed to flash twice at this moment, and finally his eyes fell on the old man.

"Tell me if I summon the army, will Sudan really blame me for this?" Carl's voice was low, seeming to be afraid of being heard by others.

"Yes, you can rest assured that Sudan will not blame you for this. These people are enemies of Sudan. You have also heard that he said that the Vatican is already preparing for a new crusade. You should be very serious about the cruelty of those crusades. Clearly, do you remember how the Poles were ravaged by the Crusaders, and now they are coming to Caniola, so if you rebel against the Sudanese enemies because of this call for troops, you will not only be punished, you may also get Sudanese trust."

"Bayesett's trust?" Carl murmured in a low voice, but his voice was not loud but very clear, and the obvious irony in the tone aroused the old man's vigilance.

The old man couldn't help but see the meaning of Grand Duke's words, and he couldn't help but look at Carl, just to meet Carl's gloomy eyes cast by him.

The old man foresaw that something was wrong, he instinctively stepped back and tried to stay away from Karl, but he only had time to take a step. When he still wanted to move his body, a dazzling flash of light had followed Karl's waving his arm towards his chest Struck.

The old man had no time to make a horrified cry and was stabbed into the chest by Li Jian. When his cry of pain and horror sounded in the banquet hall, many because you only paid attention to Alexandria ’s Caniola so that you did n’t even have time to look back. clear.

Everyone looked at this sudden scene in amazement. No one knew how the two people who had just stood together and identified the Count from the West would suddenly kill each other, and even more terrifying, the Grand Duke grabbed one hand and tried to escape. The old man ’s arm, while whispering something in his mouth, stabs at the old man ’s body repeatedly with a sword, until the old man ’s **** mouth slowly falls to the ground with fright and despair. .

Karl's body was full of blood from the old man. When he turned his head to look at others, his eyes showed unabashed tyranny.

"Who else, who wants me to reconvene the army?" Karl pointed his sword at the people around him. "The promise between me and Sudan cannot be broken by anyone, and this person actually encouraged me to violate those treaties, so I have to punish he."

Karl said to squat down, looking down on the old man who was about to swallow, and said fiercely in a voice that only two people could hear: "You viper, how much benefit did Bayesite give you to let you deliberately agitate me We all know that no matter what the reason, as long as I summon the army, it will become an excuse for the Sultan to occupy Kanyola, but you dare to encourage me, you **** old donkey, I let you regret these things you did. "

As Karl stood up and looked around, seeing people dodge his eyes in fear, Carl grinned with a smug grin.

But when he met Alexander's gaze, Carl smiled, then grinned again.

"Are you satisfied? Earl, now your army can be withdrawn." The Grand Duke walked through the crowds of evasives to the table, grabbed a glass of wine, and then swallowed it. Then he turned his head a little harder, his eyes crossed his eyes. The raised deformed shoulders looked to Alexander. "I have not violated the agreement with Sudan, nor have I become an enemy with you. Now what else are you picky about?"

Alexander looked at Carl calmly, except for the momentary accident when the old man was slaughtered suddenly, and he has been watching the Grand Duke calmly since then.

Alexander had to admit that Carl's move was not only unexpected, but it did play an unexpected role.

His act of killing the old man can be said to be appropriate or even "coincidental" from any aspect. Although it seems that it is not fair to the old man who has just died, in fact, the result of doing so is to avoid the present. To face a head-on conflict with Alexander, he also gently expressed his determination to keep his promise to the Sudan.

More importantly, he avoided the excuse that Bayesett might take the opportunity to find the Principality of Caniora.

The old man was undoubtedly a leading party working for the Ottomans. Although Alexander did not know what he said to Karl, he could guess some clues from Karl's intentional shouting.

Obviously, this Grand Duke Carl is not as violent and brutal as he seems. He not only guessed the old man ’s intentions, but even made a decisive use of this seemingly brutal but quite clever way to relieve himself. Alexander couldn't help but recognize this person again.

At least this is not only a shrewd, but also a decisive and extremely cruel ruler.

As for how killing the old man would make those Canioles think, Alexander felt that Carl did not need to worry about this.

Although brutal rule sometimes brings bad results, as long as it does not cross the line that may cause serious consequences, there will be no accidents.

And sometimes the appropriate cruel behavior can also make the indifferent courtiers feel awe, especially for the monarchs such as Karl who had just signed the treaty of bereavement and humiliation because they were just forced by the Ottomans. Is obviously an effective means to re-establish authority.

With this in mind, Alexander looked at the Grand Duke Caniola, who was often underestimated because of his obscure image.

And Alexander did n’t know if Karl had considered everything in the brief moment when he made the decision to kill the old man. At least he used this to deliberately propose to the Alexander to withdraw his troops. This is obviously putting pressure on Alexander in this way. .

"Duke, you may have misunderstood. All I care about is the fate of Princess Malchidovich and her followers," Alexander didn't want to make the Grand Duke just like that. "I hope the princess and her followers will be with Princess Caniola." Live in my camp and know that since I have made a promise to them, I must ensure their safety. At least I have an obligation to protect the princess from offense before your formal wedding. "

Calmer didn't say anything. His hand holding the glass was slightly twisted, as if he couldn't hold anything in his hand, but after a while he put the glass on the table and gasped again before slowly saying:

"Earl, in order to respect your noble character of keeping your promises, I am willing to accept your request, but I hope you can assure me that this is just to respect the canon, and will not provide them with any other help."

"I assure you that all I did was to protect the integrity of Princess Marchi Dovi."

Alexander felt the same, looking at Karl, who was dripping with water, and he waved to Busako, who was standing beside him.

Busaco quickly moved forward. He crossed several Canniolas with unwilling looks and walked in front of Princess Marchi Dovi to bow and salute. Under the watchful eyes of the Grand Duke, Busaco acted as a protector The gesture accompanied the princess to her own person who was protected by the hunting guards.

"Aunt Alexandra, would you also like to go with my fiancee?" Carl looked at Princess Caniola with a somber face and saw the princess shaking her head slightly and said "No". The Grand Duke seemed to sigh: "This is probably the best news I heard today, at least you haven't completely abandoned me."

"Karl, you should be a brave monarch, but sometimes your bad temper will only cause you trouble."

Princess Caniola shook her head helplessly. She turned to look at Princess Marchivi who had already come to her and said to the Grand Duke: "The way you can unify Caniola should be through marriage and blood. It ’s not that war is bleeding, we have too many enemies. Is there anything that pleases the enemies more than killing each other? I ’m against you because you not only want to annex Marchi Dovi, but also with all Caniola ’s The nobles are right, know that the agreement you signed with the Ottomans has made you lose your reputation. If you continue to be willful, it may cause our family to be in trouble, just as it was at the beginning ... "

"Is it just like my great-grandfather was taken away from the Grand Duke's throne?" Carl stared at his aunt's eyes ugly, and seeing the princess seemed to be avoiding his gaze, Carl stepped forward and said "You know Well, I almost succeeded, but you broke my good deeds. "

"Don't be stupid, Carl, don't you see those troops," the princess stared uncomfortably at the hunter guards who were slowly forming a team. "If they fight, their army will soon surround the palace. I'm saving you Karl."

"Save me by giving my dignity to the man's feet and letting him trample down," Karl yelled angrily, and then he suddenly took a hard breath. "But I still want to thank your aunt, after all, you helped me a lot. . "

After talking about Grand Duke Carl, he threw a stunned princess Canola to walk to Alexander.

"Count, you can take my fiancee and her younger brother away, but you can protect them for a short time, because we are going to get married soon." Duke Carl walked to Alexander indifferently, not caring about those To the Marchi Dovi who cast a hostile glance, "I can't help but admit that your bravery impressed me, but I want to remind you that the Marchi Dovi are not very good partners, they first betrayed in order to get Zepes' assistance After us, but soon betrayed that Cepes, because this Cepes sent troops to loot half of Marchiwei, but also because this John Co Marchiwei took the opportunity to become the Grand Duke of Caniola, " Karl said and smiled to Alexander. "I know that in your minds, we probably think we are all foolish or even barbaric, but in fact we have the same wisdom as you and the ability to speculate."

"I have already learned something about this."

Alexander said sincerely that he had to admit that Karl was a determined and decisive person with keen insight. Such a person would be difficult to deal with if he had power again.

"Trust me, cooperating with me is actually better for you," Karl suddenly lowered his voice. "I know that the Vatican that you just said is planning to gather European troops to fight the Ottomans is fake. Maybe there is such a thing. But I never believe that Western Europeans will come to places like Caniola. "

Alexander's heart moved, of course he knew that his words could not help but scrutinize. After all, Charlie had invaded Italy just two years ago, and it is not a secret that Louis XII might launch another invasion.

But seeing the Grand Duke did not seem to be prepared to expose his words, Alexander couldn't help but change a few thoughts.

"You should know that because of the agreement with the Sudan, at least during the Ottoman expedition, Kaniola could not have an army, but this does not prevent us from providing help to the outside army, after all, the Sudanese army also has to ask for it from us. supply."

Dagong said, look around ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ Then he said in a very low tone: "Listen, Earl, I can acquiesce your army to take anything you need from the warehouse of Caniola, but I hope you can do something for me too. "

"What is it?" Alexander asked curiously, thinking about the two men who had just fought back and forth, but in a blink of an eye, they began to bargain. Alexander could only lament the impermanence of the world.

"You know that the Ottomans will pass by Caniola, which is not a good thing for me, so I'm very happy if you can give the Ottomans some trouble."

"If I am not mistaken, the condition is that we must be in our own name, and not let the Sultan think that the Canioles are fighting against them, and the things you provide me with must be kept secret, right?"

"Earl, you are a wise man." Dagong said with a meaningful smile. "If you agree with all the places I will provide you with supplies, believe me, I am not for you nor for myself, I just don't want to Let the Ottomans live a happy life. "

Or, to take advantage of this opportunity to realize hidden ambitions, Alexander thought about it, and seemed to vaguely remember something.
