Warlock Royal Family

In the next few days, the Habsburg army spread out and swept the entire Duchy of Milan along the Po River and its tributaries.

The Venetian army is still in a state of chaos. After diverting from the French army, many Venetian troops entered various fortresses in Milan, so these fortresses are often quite sufficient. Cremona, Lodi, Pavia, Como, etc. There are nearly [-] defenders in the fortress.

However, after investigation and analysis, the acting Grand Duke and Sazastan agreed that the disintegrated Venetian army had not yet restored a unified command, and these isolated fortresses did not have the ability to support each other. The Zastan ministers led their own troops to attack.

The real trouble is the main points controlled by the Kingdom of France.

Although the Duke of Bourbon has withdrawn to the Principality of Savoy with most of the French army, only a [-]-strong force is reserved in Novara. The acting Grand Duke Ferdinand will personally lead the army to attack the advance base reserved by the Duke of Bourbon. , Baron Galliani will also accompany him.

Ladislaus officially introduced this "protector of the country" to the leader of the warlock royal family, and officially completed the task: "recruiting the protector of the country". After the death of Cardinal Sforza, Baron Galliani no longer Without any constraints, it is naturally very satisfying and logical to join the Habsburg family.

Ladislaus doesn't have to run around, the mission goal he assigned is to clear the city of Milan.

Although the battle to capture the city of Milan went very smoothly, the acting Grand Duke did not dare to stay in Milan for too long at that time. In order to avoid possible counterattacks by the Duke of Bourbon's army, he chose to be stationed in Bikka.

Now that there is no danger, it is inevitable to clear the city of Milan.

Although Ladislaus only received some of the Xibo family's miscellaneous soldiers as support, he was confident that his own troops would be enough to solve the problem.

It's just to deal with the rout, so what's the problem?

Ladislaus is very happy to be assigned this task, which is a beautiful job.

Although the city of Milan must have suffered a certain amount of losses after two enemy breaches and looting in half a year, the city of Milan is still the place with the most oil and water in the entire Principality.

Ladislaus was able to get this task, of course, because the acting Grand Duke and Prime Minister Sazastan wanted to leave all the good things to the real people.

The Shibo family was assigned to this task for exactly the opposite reason.

On the issue of the death of Cardinal Sforza, the Xibo family did not have enough information and reacted slowly, failing to see that subtle changes had taken place in the alliance between the sorcerer royal family and the dark church.

They appealed to the True Elect Pope at an extremely bad time, coupled with the actions of the old Xibo staying in Rome for a long time, they have been completely classified into another book by the acting Grand Duke Ferdinand and Prime Minister Sazastan, and they must be cleaned up.

The Xibo family had a high reputation in the past, but now they don't have much strength. It is an extremely suitable chicken that can be killed for the monkeys of the world to see.

Moreover, they are not feudal nobles who have a great appeal to unite the opponents of the Liguria Republic. Recently, Marshal Andre Doria has used his wrists to firmly control the Liguria Republic. The remaining forces of the Sibo family basically There was no sound, and even if Liguria could be captured, the Shibo family might hinder the ambition of Prime Minister Sazastan.

Prime Minister Sarzastan has always hoped to seize the wealth of the wealthy Italian city-states and the source of creating these wealth to lubricate the war machine of the emperor and acting grand duke.

After the Acting Grand Duke's attack on the snow-capped mountains, Prime Minister Sazastan naturally had to show his performance. Through the Fugger Textile Association, the [-] long-overdue imperial tax share was transferred to the account of the acting Grand Duke.

The old man really hurts, and he is even more passionate about the wealth of Italian cities.

Therefore, the small army of the Xibo family was dismantled and used. Caligula-Sibo led more than 200 people, including Pastor Steve, and went to attack Novara with the deputy archduke.

The remaining [-] people, including the knights Anna and Cassano, were under the command of Ladislaus.

Although the task of clearing the city of Milan is very good, Ladislaus's mood at this time is more complicated.

Before parting, the Acting Grand Duke specially gave the opportunity face-to-face: "My brother, you are not yet suitable to go to Rome to accept the position of cardinal. The attitude of the Pope Zhenxuan is very ambiguous. The behavior of the Xibo family close to the Holy See must be severely punished. Brother Dislaus, since you really like that little red pig, I will be the villain, but you have a bright future now, Ladislaus. In the future, a large diocese or even a religious electorate will be within reach Now, because of their performance, it is impossible for the Xibo family to regain their previous status. Without the family as the backstage, it is very reluctant for a mere seventh-level druid to be the official mistress of the elector, Ladislaus Don't be too entangled in the memory of the small Liguria city, but have lofty ideals. After you get several large religious territories, you can get the most generous dowry spouse, such as our sister, Margarita. "

This benefit is really not small.

Margarita is the concubine sister who was betrothed to Cardinal Sforza, the illegitimate daughter of the old emperor, and should be regarded as the aunt of the current emperor and acting grand duke. It's unnecessary and inappropriate, and she doesn't have the title of princess, so being called "Emperor's Sister" is already a respectable title.

For Grand Duke Ferdinand, who was actually his own age, Ladislaus was not too willing to accept his interference in private life.

But Ladislaus also understands that as one of the two chiefs of the warlock royal family, the acting Grand Duke Ferdinand's attitude has actually shown great respect, and during this conversation, Prime Minister Sazastan was also present, although he never spoke. But his presence also indicated that on the issue of the choice of Ladislaus' official mistress, the actions of the Deputy Archduke Ferdinand would be ratified by Emperor Charles V.

For now, it is actually just a promise and a bait. Although the other party is only a concubine, Ladislaus can only get the other party as an official mistress after obtaining a large religious territory.

This is already lower than the general market price of the emperor's illegitimate daughter. If the cao is done well, it is possible for such a daughter to marry a duke.

This younger sister is also a warlock, and her bloodline is neither too close nor too far from that of Ladislaus, so she is the best warlock-type spouse.

With complicated feelings, Ladislaus accepted the suggestion: "I understand Your Highness, the warlock royal family has given me so much, and I should repay our family. Even the honor of the cardinal can be given to me temporarily." Not accept."

For the religious aristocrats who cannot marry, this is a huge reward anyway. Not only is the acting Grand Duke temporarily not accepting the position of cardinal in order to stabilize Ladislaus, but it is also a reward for his successful poaching of Gallia. Baron Ni, although this poaching is a logical thing, but there are many logical things in the world that just go wrong and cannot be done.

Even for the warlock royal family, it is very meaningful for a new protector to join.

Seeing that Ladislaus accepted his request happily, the acting Grand Duke gave a little more satisfaction: "The Xibo family will definitely be deprived of political power, but I will try my best to preserve it economically. Cassano Cavaliers are outstanding in force, and the Xibo family has lost their political status. You can find a way to get him to consider serving us. I know he killed Miss Millier, but it was a glorious battle. I believe you must not Will take it to heart."

Although the acting Grand Duke did not agree with Ladislaus's treatment of Anna, since the Grand Aspirational Knight agreed with Ladislaus and gave the legendary treasure, then the acting Grand Duke didn't mind being a little merciful.

Ladislaus had nothing to say about the fact that the deputy grand duke knew so clearly about his life in his youth. He didn't know how many past events he had forgotten in his secret files, all of which were recorded. on record. [e="Bring a Cornucopia with You"]
