Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The loud noise kept most of the residents of Rome awake tonight. Of course, they couldn't sleep even without the sound. The battle outside the city affected everyone's heart.

    Their fate is closely related to this battle.

    Except for a few particularly optimistic residents who were still drinking to celebrate the victory in the morning, most people still chose to hide at home and pray to God for Rome with their families.

    Although this seems a bit redundant, how could the omniscient and omnipotent God not bless his holy city?

    In fact, Cyric did make great efforts to strengthen the power of the city of Rome. Those majestic cannons made the Spanish elites pay a heavy price. Although they are the best troops of this era, they are facing  Weapons making their debut in the new era are still a bit understandably confusing.

    Both the northern and southern armies were severely damaged by this weapon.

    The native regiments to the south were collapsing, while the Neapolitan regiments to the north were in a dilemma.

    Of course, the true elected pope understands that bad news must be delayed, revised, and buried, while good news must be made known to the people as soon as possible.

    He sent his family¡¯s servants around the city singing the holy name of God and the news that the powerful Habsburg Empire had collapsed.

    Although this is slightly different from the truth, although the Naples Corps is currently helpless, the cautious Prince of Orange is closely observing the situation in Rome and does not give the northern artillery a chance to fire or the defenders to attack, but what does it matter?

    Those who drank to celebrate drank even more, while those who celebrated at home were equally happy. The torrent of faith generated by their prayers and silent blessings made Sirik who was far away from the High Throne feel satisfied.

    The Medici real-chosen pope on the city wall can even feel a mixture of humility and excitement from the heart, the great God is paying attention to him!

    "Everyone, after defeating the emperor's army, we will enter the strategic counter-offensive stage. The French army will once again enter Northern Italy to contain the remaining Spanish and United Kingdom forces. I hope that everyone can actively provide materials and manpower to assist the Naples strategy.  Do your part!" The true Pope also mobilized other cardinals for combat.  "When Naples is captured, your families will be able to produce dukes and marquises. There will also be countless fertile fields and manors that belong to all of us!"

    This group of cardinal archbishops from Italy and France have expressed their firm support for the great cause of electing a true pope and will contribute their share to this end.

    Although they all know that defeating the emperor once does not mean that everything will be smooth sailing later, but with the help of "Wrath of God", the cause of once again defeating the royal family who want to reestablish the authority of the Holy Roman Empire seems really promising.  .

    ?This has a stake in everything they have.  If Rome's authority was strong, they would have the opportunity to intervene in the appointment and dismissal of the religious princes in Germany, and the benefits would be valuable to the family of every cardinal archbishop.

    However, these excited mortals did not realize that the high point of their careers was about to pass.

    In the dim night, blood is spreading.

    A messenger who had been wandering around the city for a long time felt anxious and walked to a sewer to relax.

    He just unbuttoned his pants.  Before a drop of water could be released, a sharp harpoon was inserted into his little friend.

    ¡°Several weapons were then unsheathed from the waterproof fish skin scabbards and slashed at him. Within ten seconds, there were several large transparent holes in the courier¡¯s body.

    The leader, Holbarukalulu, made tactical sign language as usual. Although the Doria family and the Kuo Tao fish people have now forged a great feud, their cooperation has still been honed repeatedly.

    Although the emotions of tacit understanding and trust have completely disappeared.  But in this enemy city, they still have no choice but to unite together.

    Of course, the degree of cooperation is still greatly weakened from the past, but the strength of the Roman defenders is not enough to expand and exploit their weaknesses.

    Along the way from the sewer to the city wall, General Doria's men and the Kuo Tao fish killed several messengers and a very limited number of patrols. Compared with these people, although the number of commandos sent by Ladislaus was limited,  , but its combat effectiveness is extremely powerful.

    Most of the soldiers were killed in one or two encounters, and the rest could not survive the reaction of other patrols. Their warnings were always a beat slower than the raiders.

    Of course, Marshal Doria still tried his best to avoid this unnecessary encounter.

    The first step for them to come ashore from the sewer was to contact the United Kingdom Embassy near the sewer. Ladislaus¡¯s plan had been planned.For a long time, the Habsburg family used to have only the emperor as permanent ambassador in Rome.

    This embassy was established just a few days ago.  The location was also chosen to be very remote.

    By using the embassy he established when his strength was rising, he deliberately found a bad location. In fact, he had already set his sights on the sewers of the ancient empire.

    Led by the guide sent by the ambassador, they avoided the main roads and only took the alleys.

    After ruthlessly killing hundreds of innocent residents along the way.  They arrived at the East Gate of Rome.

    The three tasks of surrounding the Orsini mansion, monitoring the Neapolitan regiments in the north, and attacking the Spanish native regiments in the south have exhausted the energy of the city defenders. The troops at the east gate still maintained vigilance outside the city.  There is no preparation for an inside-out attack.

    The guards were all looking south, looking for any sign of the fighting that they couldn't actually see. They had no idea that the men of Marshal Doria and the Kuo-Tao fishmen were already coming to kill them behind them.

    The Swiss Guards are concentrated around the Vatican fortress and the electorate.

    The people guarding the city wall are militiamen and some wealthy private soldiers. They are of similar quality to the troops fighting outside the south gate, but their performance is very different.

    Unlike their adrenaline-fueled and unstoppable comrades in the south, they are still a vulnerable rabble.

    The weapons that Grand Marshal Doria and his men took out from their fish-skin waterproof scabbards had been drinking blood along the way.

    They fought their way up the tower before encountering any real resistance.

    "Who?!" After an angry shout, a red archbishop first "inflicted fatal injuries" and then used a "group bear's tenacity" on his subordinates.

    Although the defenders on the city wall focus on threats from the outside in, the red archbishop sitting at the east gate is a powerful priest who has eyes and ears in all directions.

    Although this red archbishop from Venice is very strong personally, he can only be regarded as a collateral line in the direct line due to his origin. Therefore, he cannot be with the real elected pope and can only be sent to guard this unimportant city.  Door.

    Although Medici¡¯s true election as pope was unable to elevate him above the Roman nativist faction, he finally made the best use of his resources and placed powerful people in key positions.

    This creature was hit with a "fatal wound" but it seemed to have no reaction at all. He saw the danger of the fish-headed monster in front of him and launched another "war wave" without hesitation.  (To be continued.
