Warlock Royal Family

When Ladislaus walked into the hall after changing clothes, the hall was already very crowded, not just Anna and Susan.

The old Sibo and Caligula were also there, and on the Colonna side, the eldest son of the cardinal, accompanied by his mother, was present in full dress, and a guest was the emperor's ambassador to Rome.

Before serving the dishes, Anna introduced a chef from the Ming Kingdom. He was converted to the Anri Church by the Anri missionaries who followed the Portuguese navigator Da Gama to the east. This time he came to Rome because of his religious enthusiasm. During the pilgrimage, Anna got the news and remembered that Ladislaus had shown a special interest in the East in Florence, so she specially invited him to hold a special dinner for Ladislaus.

Anna probably had already previewed it in advance. Whenever a servant served a dish, she immediately began to introduce the name of the dish. These names were very exotic to the people present.

"The guest's salted meat" Is this a gift when you come to visit?

Does "Three Cups and the Duck" have no cups at all?

"A room full of gold and silver" is obviously Yuanbei, but what is that white and soft thing?

The most shocking name is "Phoenix's Claws Soaked in Marinade". Do Orientals think that chickens and phoenixes are related?

There are a dozen other dishes, all of which are very attractive.

Anna also specially arranged the tableware.

Everyone at the banquet, including little Colonna, who was only about five or six years old, worked hard to pick up vegetables with chopsticks.

What surprised Anna a little was that Ladislaus didn't seem to be good at using chopsticks either.

Ladislaus is also a bit strange. The memory of Li Di inherited from the past has become more and more blurred recently. The once tall and unbelievably tall buildings, the unbelievably fast and long carriages, and the flying It's been a long time since I dreamed of a metal machine.

It's just that the conscientious company's system still releases tasks from time to time, and the attribute panel can be called up as soon as one concentrates, so Ladislaus can still be sure that he is the one who is different.

However, many details that were once clear have been very blurred since he fled all the way to Rome, and the migraine that had become very severe due to the activation of memory has not been a major attack since arriving in Rome.

However, apart from the fact that Anna didn't seem to have much use for the banquet she specially pleased, she was a little disappointed.

Others don't care much about what to eat today, how to eat, and wait for the dishes to be served.

Little Colonna and his mother said goodbye and left the meeting. Today is an announcement of an alliance, so let everyone get to know the heir of the Colonna family. I don't know if his old grandpa can wait until he grows up to become a ren, and today's meeting also makes Ladislaus bear the responsibility of "cheap uncle". In this case, Susan has no children to Colonna The family has become an advantage. Even if she is Ladislaus' lover, she can entrust the family to him. She should work hard to protect her nephew without selfishness, and this also shows that the old Colonna believes that Ladislaus His character can be entrusted.

As long as Ladislaus' attitude remains the same, other families will have to worry about the emperor Charles V behind him, even if Charles V actually doesn't care about such trivial matters at all.

Not to mention that Ladislaus knew that in fact, Emperor Charles V would definitely have an explanation for the Cardinal Colonna who died because of being close to him.

The old Colonna only thought that the ambassador came to save face for Ladislaus, but in fact it was because the ambassador was expressing the attitude of the emperor.

But of course Ladislaus will not clarify this misunderstanding, did he really ask for it?

The old Colonna had to make arrangements for his recent death. The city of Rome is surrounded by demons. Any weak member of this piranha group will be mercilessly eaten by other members. The Colonna family I don't know how many times in its history it has participated in weeding out weak members of the group.

In order to avoid such a fate, the old Colonna worked hard to send his daughter to Ladislaus' bed, and formed an alliance with the Sibo family, which seems to have no power now. It doesn't matter if there is no old enemy, and the support of Emperor Charles V is also needed to restore the status, so it can be regarded as a small help.

In the old Colonna's surrounding field of vision, he looked at his own arrangement, cheered up and said: "Everyone, it is a great honor for me and Colonna to be able to gather together today. I believe everyone knows the purpose of today's convening. The Republic of Siena Despicable and shameless assassinated my son. Thanks to His Majesty the Pope, who upholds justice to fight against the culprit, and the Medici Cardinal to help, after Christmas, the Church of Rome and the Republic of Florence will join forces to attack the thief's nest. In order to personally To avenge my unfortunate son, I got the command of the Pope's army this time through hard work, and this time I will ask everyone to help me."

Ladislaus understands that this time the Pope really wants to directly intervene in the military, but although the Swiss Guards are elite, they are short-staffed, and the old Colonna has the right to avenge his son, so he can compromise in a fight After getting this position, maybe this old man's days are numbered, but his sword is still immortal. As long as he is alive, the interests of the Colonna family can be preserved.

Next came the emperor's ambassador. In addition to praising the emperor and saying some words of encouragement, he mainly came to show his face, and on behalf of the emperor, he sent ten second-hand breastplates to the Colonna family. The emperor really made an extraordinary move. , even if it is out of stock, this is still armor.

Next, the old Xibo briefly introduced the strength of the "Liguria Rescue" that he had just put together. At present, there are about 300 miscellaneous soldiers equipped with short swords and wooden shields, but Cassano Cavaliers and Steve Pastor Fu and Anna, this core team still has some weight.

In addition to contributing himself as a level 10 warlock, Ladislaus is the boss of Silica and Old John. The most important bargaining chip he also "borrowed" Baron Galliani from the Sforza family. The two "Nation Protectors" will attack the Republic of Siena together. This news makes the old Colonna's face red for a while, and Susan is even more excited. With the "Nation Protector" in charge this time, the possibility of achieving results is much greater. However, the Republic of Siena does not have a powerhouse of this level.

The Colonna family is likely to get a considerable sphere of influence.

Seeing the sweet fruit that kissed Ladislaus furiously and then sat in his arms regardless of the eyes of the public, the ambassador felt uncomfortable. It was obvious that Cardinal Sforza had to let him go because of himself. It's not me who can be happy at night.

Who made Ladislaus the "Habsburg" Lord.

This news was just told by the ambassador to Ladislaus, so the whole banquet fell into a sudden surprise for a while.

"Then why don't you invite His Excellency Baron Galliani to the banquet together? It's really rude." Although excited, the old Colonna still calmly confirmed the reliability of this matter to Ladislaus.

You must know that the key person said well, but disappears at the critical moment, which is the most worrying state of any action.

"Baron Galliani was going to the banquet, but His Majesty the Emperor hoped that Cardinal Sforza would not be misunderstood, so I specifically asked to wait until the day of departure before we act together." The ambassador answered the question on his behalf, and the Emperor The ambassador dared not listen to Charles V's instructions on poaching corners not to be too ugly.

This time for Ladislaus to come forward and ask Baron Galliani to attack together, it is actually a bit ugly, but the ambassador has to make progress, and the opportunity to catch Ladislaus' line should be seized.

After all, the emperor was far away in Madrid, so as long as the ambassador said that he was Baron Galliani, whom Ladislaus actively lobbied, it would be no problem. Of course, there must be secret monitors in the embassy who reported the ambassador's movements to the emperor, but This is not a problem, after all, the ambassador is indeed expanding the power of the warlock royal family.

It's just that the emperor must have opened his eyes and closed his eyes when it comes to expanding the power of his family.

Old Colonna nodded. He realized that this matter was probably borrowed from the emperor's face, so he was very confident. Maybe there were indeed many people in this Europa continent who dared to fight against the emperor, but those who fled because of abandoning their master had a very bad reputation. Baron Galliani absolutely did not dare to tease the Supreme Being, otherwise, once the warlock royal family's propaganda machine was activated, he would not be able to get along in the arena.

The old Colonna continued: "This time, the city defense army will be the main force. Our family and the Orsini family's guards will all attack. In addition to the half-handed and half-sword mercenary company I hired, there will be more than [-] troops in total. The army, including more than five hundred cavalry."

"Hand and half sword mercenary company? Is that the mercenary group that is all cavalry and the captain is Kessell?" Hearing this, Ladislaus frowned a little. The name made him a little worried.

"It is this very good cavalry company. With these cavalry, our field capabilities and battlefield concealment capabilities have been greatly enhanced." There are not many cavalry in the Church of Rome, so Old Colonna needs such mercenaries.

"But Captain Kessell is a very well-known anti-Habsburg aristocrat. You can tell from his name that he was born in Germany. He is the illegitimate son of a certain elector. He has always opposed the Holy Roman Empire. Centralized." It is said that this kind of thing, plus "someone" is a diplomatic rhetoric, and Ladislaus knows very well that this gentleman's name is Kessell-Witting, the nephew of the Elector of Saxony, the old Cologne Na also knew this.

"I know that this company has been serving the former Duke of Württemberg in the past few years to resist the rule of the acting Grand Duke, but the Witting family pursues equal inheritance and has many factions. It has been divided into the main ones of Saxony, Meissen, and Thuringia. There are still a large number of princes in the principality, and there are also great internal conflicts. After the long-term suppression by the acting grand duke, some members of the Wetin family have changed their positions. Kessell-Weiting was originally a peripheral member of their family, let alone a rigid stance After all, there are still some diehards in the Württemberg area. It is actually a good thing for the local situation that he can leave. Over the years, he has been unable to severely damage his company with the power of the acting Grand Duke, which also shows the combat effectiveness of this company and his Leadership skills. Of course, I have to ask Ladislaus to turn things around in front of the emperor as the acting Grand Duke."

Ladislaus showed a toothache expression. Although it was not troublesome, he still felt that he should ask for a little reward.Although the Acting Grand Duke actually wished that this annoying cavalry company would get out of here early.

But at this moment, Susan put her hand into his coat. After a little hesitation, Ladislaus decided to ask his female partner to provide some programs that he would not like in the past as a reward. The Marquise Facchetti has always insisted Those are acts of prostitutes, Ladislas made up his mind to let her obey no matter what tonight.

Of course, he tried his best not to neglect Anna, and asked about life in the monastery in the outskirts many times. Since Anna also went to the outskirts, the number of times they met has been greatly reduced. In front of his father and brother, the thin-skinned Anna gave Susan the upper hand , but did not reject Ladislaus' arm.

Embracing the left and the right is not the only benefit that Ladislaus has received, this time the system task is to "concurrently lead the Bishop of Siena"

Old Colonna has promised to give him the religious rights of the Republic of Siena, that is, he can collect the tithe tax and the personnel power inside the church. The power of Ladislas is even smaller than that of the Sibo family. , the Sibo family can only get to share the spoils, and Ladislaus can get real power. As for how much power you can get, it depends on whether Colonna's army or Medici's army can achieve greater results. .

It's ironic indeed, the alliance of murderer and victim.

Of course, the name of sending troops has something to do with the facts, "seeking the law to protect the teaching".
