    Li Anran's meaning was very obvious. He personally escorted the food to Yafei this time. He must have something very important to say to himself. Otherwise, he would not have to take the risk of coming in person.

    You know, this journey has been uneven.

    Therefore, when Siwicks heard what Li Anran said, he immediately nodded in his heart and ordered his men to be on guard around him. At the same time, he personally led Li Anran into the building that was requisitioned as a temporary residence.  Inside.

    Entering the building, they called a few soldiers and asked them to find a quiet office for themselves. After Siwicks and Li Anran walked in, they ordered someone to close the door.

    Then, the two of them found a chair and started working.

    "Mr. Li, if you have anything to say, it's safe here now."

    After sitting down, Siwicks spoke.

    Li Anran is also happy that he can get straight to the point and doesn't have to talk in circles.

    Therefore, he nodded and said to Siwicks: "This time I received reliable information. The news of your attack on Yafei Castle has been known to the Archduke of Hungary. For this reason, the church is fighting against Portugal and France.  There are already signs of instability on the front lines."

    While talking, Li Anran twisted his buttocks to make himself sit more comfortably.

    "You also know that the Grand Duke of Hungary is a devout believer, so during the Portuguese-French and Church War that swept across Europe, the Grand Duke of Hungary brought out all his elites in order to declare his piety to the world like he did.  No one can compare."

    "But now that his own nest is beginning to become unstable, it will definitely have an impact on the Hungarian Legion that is at war with Portugal and France. Moreover, because the Legion brought by the Grand Duke of Hungary is quite large, it is considered to be of high quality and quantity.  , so the Church placed the Hungarian Legion on the front line of the battle."

    Siwicks listened quietly to Li Anran's words, and at the same time, his mind was spinning rapidly, analyzing some of the meanings in the words.

    "Then, as the front line of the battle, if something goes wrong with the Hungarian Legion, which bears a very important burden, it will have a great impact on the church's arrangements on the front line. Therefore, your attack on Yafei is also very important to the church.  concerns."

    Siwicks almost heard that the news about his people's attack on Yafei Castle had finally spread to the Hungarians and the church.

    ¡°But think about it, it¡¯s impossible for such a big thing to go without any news. That¡¯s unrealistic.

    So, the news brought by Li Anran was nothing more than telling him that the rebel army has now aroused the Hungarian people's ideas.  And the church began to have ideas and worry about everything that happened in the Principality of Hungary.

    At the same time, the morale of the Hungarian Legion, which was on the front line of the battle, was unstable and had a great impact on the church.

    In order to avoid some accidents, will the church take action to solve this problem?

    Thinking about it, it should have this meaning.

    It may not only be possible, but maybe the church has already made some plans and arrangements.

    Otherwise, Li Anran would not have come here.

    Thinking of this, Siwicks looked at Li Anran seriously: "Sir, are you saying that the church may take some action now?"

    Li Anran was very satisfied with Siweix's cleverness. He smiled and nodded and replied: "Yes, the church has promised Hungary in order to stabilize the Hungarians and to prevent some accidents and collapse on the front line.  People have solved the trouble here."

    Sure enough, just as I guessed, the church is going to take action against them.

    but.  So what.

    Now that the rebels are on the verge of riding a tiger, there is no other option.

    So, the rebels want to survive.  The only way to go is to annex the entire Principality of Hungary.

    As for what obstacles you will encounter Well, just pick up a weapon and destroy the obstacles.

    Because he captured Yafei Castle and obtained a batch of weapons and armor, as well as a large sum of money, Siwex's confidence became stronger than before.

    "Oh, is the church going to take action? But what makes me wonder is, how is the church going to solve it? I heard that all the church's financial resources and energy are now focused on dealing with Portugal and France, and also on the  The battle between the Mediterranean and the Ottomans for supremacy in the Mediterranean went up.¡±

    Although Siweix¡¯s information is not as extensive and detailed as Li Anran¡¯s, he also knows some things.

      Just as Siwicks said, the church can now be said to be the military force under its command, and they are all involved in the Portuguese-French war and the struggle for hegemony in the Mediterranean.

    Therefore, it is impossible for the church to have excess military power to confront the rebels.

    So, what kind of solutions can the church come up with to solve the Hungarian people¡¯s troubles?

    This point made Siwex curious.

    However, since Li Anran came here and solemnly told himself the news in this regard, he must have some means and methods to come to the church.

    ¡°Otherwise, Li Anran wouldn¡¯t have visited him, right?

    Of course, although Siwicks can guess some, it is not that comprehensive.

    The reason why he asked this was so that Li Anran could give an explanation and answer to clear up his doubts.

    "As you said, all the power of the church is restrained, and there is no extra military power to deal with the Hungarians. But don't forget, although the church currently lacks military power, they have money.  ."

    Li Anran¡¯s words made Siwicks fall into deep thought, while his brows knitted together tightly.

    Well!

    Of course Siwicks knows the wealth of the church.

    As the only place of faith in Europe, the Church has dominated Europeans for centuries.

    During this period, it can be said that the strength and wealth of the church continued to grow.

    The sale of ¡®indulgences¡¯ that occurs every year can make the church a huge profit, and the amount of gold and silver it can receive is almost staggering.

    At the same time, the maritime adventures launched by the Spanish and Portuguese in the 16th century also brought large amounts of income and wealth to the church.

    It can be said that the combined wealth of all European countries is not as much as that of the church.

    We can also look at it from another perspective. The thousands of years of wealth accumulation in Europe have basically been plundered by the church.

    How much money is this?

    It is a huge wealth that is completely beyond people¡¯s understanding.

    There is nothing wrong with Europe being poor, but it is not the church that is poor.

    There is a saying in Europe that nobles can become beggars when they are down, but there are no poor people in the church.

    You must know that as long as there are believers, the people in the church will not be without a source of wealth.

    ¡°These guys who come to graze on behalf of the ¡®master¡¯ are the ones who continue to ¡®shear¡¯ the ¡®lambs¡¯ of Europe every year, right?

    Although Siweix and the others are Serbs, they are under the rule of the Ottomans who believe in Allah.

    But because the Serbs live in the northern part of the Ottoman Empire, it borders some European countries.  Therefore, he was not ignorant of some things in the church that Europeans believed in.

    After all, as an Ottoman region that believes in Allah, it has various entanglements and grievances with the church.

    Even five or six hundred years ago, Europe had wars with areas under the control of the Ottomans during the Crusades.  Although there was nothing going on with the Ottomans at that time, it is certain that people in the two regions were unhappy with each other.

    As a country with two different faiths that are unhappy with each other, it is not surprising that various smear incidents have occurred.

    This is just like in a modern forum in another time and space, some people mix true and false things together and spread them, and incidentally expose some of the dark history of the enemy. It is really not surprising.

    Therefore, of course he is aware of the church's methods of amassing money and its methods of plundering the people.

    It is precisely because he knows this that he understands how huge a fortune the church has accumulated.

    In this day and age, is there anything that money can¡¯t buy?

    You must know that even faith can sometimes be betrayed by the temptation of wealth.

    Thinking of this, Siwicks couldn't help but take a breath of air.

    "Mr. Li, do you mean that the church is going to spend a large amount of money to deal with us?"

    ??Smart people are smart people, and it¡¯s good to deal with such smart people.  Of course, I hope that this kind of wisdom will not be used on yourself in the future, otherwise you will definitely regret it.

    Regarding Siwicks' reaction, Li Anran secretly admired him in his heart, and at the same time, he also became slightly wary of Siwicks.

    At a time like this, Siwix would certainly be useful to the Empire.

    It doesn¡¯t matter even if he has ambitions in the future, but as long as this ambition is not harmful to the empire.

    Once it is discovered that what Siwicks wants to do is not good for the empire, it can be said that Siwicks will turn into a tragedy in a very short period of time.

    At this stage, smart people like Siwicks must support him and help him.  After all, it is better to support such people than those fools and idiots.

    Although the mentally retarded can also be supported and easily controlled.

    But you also need to know that once those idiots develop ambitions, they will be very destructive.

    So, it¡¯s better to get in touch with people like West Wicks.

    Because such people are smart and aware of current affairs.

    Generally speaking, I will not become arrogant because of a momentary brain failure, causing trouble to myself and the empire.

    "Yes, the church spent a large amount of money to hire an elite mercenary group with about 30,000 people in Switzerland. In about ten days, this mercenary group can be formed and then march to Hungary."

    Hiss!

    This is really not good news!

    After listening to Li Anran¡¯s words, Siwex¡¯s heart trembled (To be continued)
