From Councilor to Archbishop Chapter 584: Bombardment

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Everyone in your place!"

    "Everyone is in his place!"

    A mixed force composed of Spaniards, Austrians, Ligurians and some prisoners who had just been part of the artillery unit of the Roman Church was dragging the cannon to the firing position at the Vatican City Gate.

    "Dad, what does Ladislaus mean?" Milo was a little confused about the situation in front of him, so he found an opportunity to get close to his father and asked.

    His father was appointed as the artillery commander of the Habsburg Army. Not only the dozen cannons captured by the United Kingdom, but also the dozen cannons captured by the Spanish were commanded by Generalissimo Doria.

    "He wants our Doria family to take part of the blame." Marshal Doria was not confused at all and fully understood Ladislaus's intentions.

    "What?! This guy is really vicious." Milo immediately came back to his senses. The Vatican Castle contains the wealth accumulated by the true Pope over the past thousands of years and the treasures left by countless artists. Its cultural and political significance is very important.  Dislaus apparently wanted to hold the Doria family responsible for the destruction of this temple of art and religion.

    "Father, we don't need to listen to him! Why don't we bombard the Habsburg Allied Forces and cooperate with the real Pope?" Compared to his father, Milo has always been considered a pro-Habsburg faction, but recently this  Ladislaus's method of "winning over" the Doria family obviously had quite a side effect, but there was nothing that could be done about it.

    "This is also an opportunity given to us by Ladislaus. He is telling me that he really wants to rebuild the alliance with us." Marshal Doria's words are not difficult to understand, but Milo didn't understand it at the moment.  "This is not just a scapegoat. It is also a vote of trust. We need to deepen our cooperative relationship with the Warlock Royal Family."

    "This time we went through such a long and smelly sewer for his benefit. We also endured the smellier Kuo-Toa people for so long. Isn't that enough as a pledge?" Milo seemed to be really impressed by Ladislaus.  It was so heartbreaking that his cousin actually didn't do anything to him.

    In addition to torturing him into an inhuman form, hanging him on a cliff for a while and blowing in the wind, he threatened to kill his whole family.

    "It's far from enough, my son. When you cooperate with the Warlock Royal Family, no amount of effort can offset their advantages in strength and physique, so we must seize every opportunity we can to prove ourselves.  The value. More importantly, Ladislaus knew that we could no longer defect, so he asked me to command his artillery." Grand Marshal Doria realized that his eldest son and heir needed a more detailed explanation from him.  "As Ladislaus said in the past, once is too much, how to do it a second time? Things like defecting before the battle are just too much once."

    "But we have no choice but to" Milo stopped mid-sentence. He was by no means stupid. Although he was not as good as his father, he was still talented enough to save the family.

    Halfway through, he understood that no matter whether they changed sides voluntarily or voluntarily through betrayal, they actually had no choice for a long time.

    When the counterattack launched by the true Pope forced the Habsburg Army to waver across the board.  More than twenty cannons converged on the Vatican Castle.

    "It seems that as you expected, they are all honest." Ferdinand nodded to Ladislaus and said.  He mixed many elites into the artillery unit to guard against Doria and his son, but this measure did not work.

    "My uncle is a smart man and will not make such stupid mistakes." Ladislaus knew that his uncle and eldest cousin were both sensible and calm people, and they would not do stupid things.

    "But I don't know if your lover is too smart." The lover Ferdinand spoke of was certainly not his sister or mother.  "At least she doesn't have a crisis sulfur warehouse, which is our valuable property."

    "Humph!" Ladislaus looked at the black smoke rising everywhere in the city and did not make any further comments about it.  "We'll deal with the real chosen pope first and then let's talk about the rest. Since His Majesty the Black Hand still regards us as enemies and your lover refuses to come out of the sea, we need her and her boss very much now."

    ¡°Allies that are so arrogant that they drive people crazy and allies that are so stubborn that they drive them to despair.¡± Ferdinand said of the two elemental gods Cassius and Gulamba.

    Although Gulamba is also willing to support the Habsburg family in their fight against Cyric, Princess Sunis of the Stone and many Gulamba priests still cannot violate Gulamba's doctrine that they cannot take ships.

    Although this powerful being tried to travel overland from Brussels to Rome, many German nobles along the way made it difficult for this force representing the emperor's interests to cross the border. In the end, this important force failed to catch up with the battle.

    &nbsp"We can solve the problem." Ladislaus shouted in Ferdinand's ear amidst the deafening noise.

    "Boom!"

    "Boom!"

    The survivors of the disaster in Rome once again heard the loud noise the night before, thinking it was the sound of salvation.

    ¡°Long live God!¡±

    ¡°O God, look at the suffering of your people and show mercy!¡±

    "You bastard of the Habsburg family, this is the wrath of God, repent!"

    Some people who were drunk the night before even cheered and cried hysterically.

    In just a few hours of massacre, one-fifth of the residents of Rome lost their lives.

    Not only did nearly 10,000 residents die directly at the hands of the invaders, but there were other disasters behind them.

    Although Ferdinand set out to restore order upon entering the city, his authority over the British troops was relatively limited.

    Anna and her master had no room for compromise in their attitude towards the Roman Church. The priest Cassius, who was mixed with the army, set fire to the Vatican Castle after Ladislaus and the emperor entered the city.

    Many relics from ancient times in the city of Rome have been destroyed. Many triumphal arches, aqueducts, and huge arenas from the ancient Roman Empire are all undergoing the test of Cassius.

    Both Ladislaus and Ferdinand had received reports of the spread of the fire. Apart from sending troops to transport precious sulfur and gunpowder out of the city as much as possible, they had nothing to do with Anna.

    On the one hand, the resistance of the Sistine Chapel made the Habsburg army unable to carry out organized fire-fighting; on the other hand, Bane's attitude made Kashus more valuable to the sorcerer royal family.

    However, Anna realized that she had to avoid the sulfur warehouse anyway, and firebreaks were established in some key locations in time, so the work of Generalissimo Andre Doria was not affected.

    Those voices that the Romans thought were salvation were actually announcing the Habsburg family's victory.  (To be continued)
