Warlock Royal Family

In the big tent of the camp, Ladislaus sat on a cushion, and Cardinal Medici looked at each other wordlessly. Caligula Sibo and several other generals were also there.

There are dark clouds on everyone's faces.

The face of the Medici Cardinal is particularly ugly. These trebuchets are his valuable property. In order to have a say in the division of Siena's land, he took them out on purpose. He didn't expect double K to touch double A, and he lost It was so heartbreaking that the opponent's trebuchet completely defeated his quantity with quality in the competition.

Old Colonna is going to arrange to strengthen the security work for tonight, but he hasn't arrived yet.

Although the opponent did not dare to go out of the city to pursue them in the morning, it should be that they have no confidence in field battles, but night battles are always very dangerous for the side whose morale is declining, and it is very necessary to be prepared.

Although his face was as solemn as the others, and his brows were tightly frowned, Ladislaus's thinking was actually not focused on today's battle, and he was not troubled by today's failure.

He was wondering about a new mission released by the system today: "Enter the Sistine Chapel again." It's a glorious thing, but it's a little worrying to give the prestige again. What's even more strange is that there is a reminder displayed on the task: complete it as soon as possible, and the damage will be less.

This unprecedented situation made Ladislaus very nervous. Since the last time he entered the Sistine Chapel, he felt that something was wrong. But the more he thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable. Can't think of anything.

Although he had the idea of ​​rushing back to Rome immediately to control the damage, Ladislaus still decided not to rush. It would be better to study with Machiavelli first. Although it is impossible to share with him about the mission system, going to Sith What is the meaning of the court chapel, it is still possible to analyze a little reason.

However, Ladislaus' worries were naturally understood by the old Colonna who had just entered the main account. In order to worry about the situation of the battle, he patted Ladislaus on the shoulder and said: "It is difficult to seek the law and protect the education. It’s not a simple matter in the first place, this setback is nothing, young people must have an optimistic spirit.”

After Ladislaus was photographed, it was naturally difficult to explain anything. Although he suggested from the beginning that he should not choose the trebuchet but directly attack the city with ants, but now that the matter has come to this point, it is not easy to mention it again. Colonna and Medici's opinions at the time were also very reasonable. The attacking party did not have ten times the superior force, and a strong attack was too risky.

After crossing the bridge with his daughter's lover, the old Colonna looked around the audience and said, "Everyone, today's small setback is nothing at all. Our army is still unscathed. The loss of a few catapults is nothing more than the scratches of strong men." Pi, with such a small injury, do you still have to cry? Please cheer up, speak freely, and discuss what to do next."

'Cracked a little?That's fifty thousand talers!Your son's head is not worth half of this little skin." Although he mentally cursed the old Colonna who satirized him for "crying", the Medici cardinal immediately put on a deeply excited expression and continued. Huatou: "General Colonna is right. There are no reinforcements outside Siena, and no food and grass inside. This luck is just a few days later in their death, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation." His speech level is relatively low. .

Ladislaus, who came back to his senses, felt unworthy, but he had no intention of arguing.

Caligula-Sib jumped out at this time and said: "Everyone, I heard that there was something called dynamite that could be used to attack the city in the Dwarf Empire era, why don't we dig a tunnel and bury the dynamite under the city wall? "

"If you sell you, you won't be able to get one ten-thousandth of the explosives you need." Ladislaus has nothing to say about this wishful thinking. Making explosives requires the most precious treasure in the world-sulphur, which is only erupted all year round. There is only production in the crater, but the volcano is the home of powerful demons. If you want to get sulfur, you have to fight them. Only the most powerful country can organize the most elite teams to carry out small-scale mining. The magicians use it in the laboratory. That production is in short supply.Only the dwarves have fought against the devil for years and carried out large-scale mining. Since the demise of the dwarf empire, no major civilization has done such a thing that is not worth the loss.

Of course, the old Colonna had to help his allies back: "Caligula, your idea is very imaginative, yes, yes, but this matter should not be rushed, we have just been frustrated, we still have to wait." Only when morale recovers a little can we proceed to the next step.”

Next, several people in the account offered suggestions on how to conquer Siena. Unfortunately, since ancient times, conspiracies have been famous in history because they are very rare. After studying for a long time, they are basically at a loss. It seems that they can only wait for a few days before morale recovers. Try to see if you can attack by force.

The fruitless discussion continued for a while, and a courier from the Colonna family who came from Rome interrupted the process of the meeting. It was an urgent letter sent by Marquise Susan Facchetti who stayed in Rome.

After looking at the letter quickly, the old Colonna announced to the nervous crowd: "Don't worry, everyone, it's not a military report, it's just a funeral report, and the arbiter of His Majesty on the ground, the Chief Justice Officer of Rome, Sforza Red His Royal Highness, last night, went to the Supreme Throne to serve our eternal Lord."

As a show of selflessness, the elder Colonna handed the letter to Cardinal Medici while speaking.

Most people, including Ladislaus, are not very interested in the life and death of Cardinal Sforza, although he is a very strong priest, and with him as the banner, some remnants of the Duchy of Milan can be united against France Kingdom, but in the battle between the Habsburg family and the Capet family, this power is really not a bargaining chip.

Not to mention, this would make it easier for Ladislaus to poach corners, but after Baron Galliani heard the news, he resigned immediately, expressing that he was going to pray for his benefactor, and everyone naturally agreed Understood, they all dispersed.

However, Ladislaus noticed that after Cardinal Medici read the letter, his complexion was surprisingly bad. Could it be that he and Cardinal Sforza were secret allies?

However, the alliance between cardinals is generally aimed at other cardinals, which is of little benefit to Ladislaus, so he just resigned to the old Colonna and returned to his camp.

Returning to his tent, he briefly talked about the meeting and the news of Cardinal Sforza's death with Machiavelli, who was not qualified to attend the meeting.

Machiavelli had long expected that there would be nothing new about the battle situation, but he was quite interested in the death of Cardinal Sforza. He proposed to read the letter from the Marchioness, but Ladislaus did not He noticed who the Medici cardinal gave it to after taking it, but he said that he could ask the old Colonna again.

It was past midnight, and Captain Kessell-Witting also arrived at Ladislaus' tent.

The "hand and half sword" cavalry patrols the battlefield from dusk to midnight to ensure that the enemy cannot attack at night, and in the second half of the night, the cavalry directly under the Roman army is responsible.
