After the loud noise, Ladislaus raised his eyes and searched for a while. The formation of the Swiss and the dead was still intact, and not a single gap could be seen.
The momentum was huge, but it had no effect. This was the result of the "Wrath of God" working for the Habsburg family for the first time.
Although the appearance of artillery itself is a huge blow to the enemy's morale, it is still not enough.
But Ladislaus knew that he didn't need to worry about such things.
"Behead all the Romans in the first group."
After the first round of shelling, Marshal Doria coldly made rewards and punishments.
Although it is not necessarily the prisoners of this artillery group who are the least concerned, after all, many artillery groups have lost some of their members after the melee. The current mixed state has reduced their already limited skills. It is not a big deal to knock them all away in the first round of artillery fire. Outrageous.
"But Generalissimo Doria is not so reasonable. He has just issued a strange order, that is, as long as the first round is effective, each person in the No. 1 gun crew will be rewarded with ten talers.
This aroused a lot of jealousy among many artillery crews just now, and now they understand the other half of what Grand Marshal Doria did not say.
Five members of the artillery crew were pulled out and pushed to the ground, howling like ghosts and beheaded.
The other members of the artillery crew experienced what it was like to be a slave to a subjugated country.
"Please continue to work hard. If the second round of bombardment is effective, each person in the No. 2 artillery group will be rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor with one hundred talers and twenty acres of land near the city of Rome!" After Doria's words were spoken again, no one I envy the No. 2 gun crew, even though the reward has continued to increase significantly this time.
Ferdinand gave the generalissimo the power to act expediently, but did not mention specifically what rewards could be given. It is said that granting land rewards was actually beyond his authority.
But since this is the land of the Roman Church, that¡¯s another story.
What's more, no matter what, Grand Marshal Doria is still the consul of the Republic of Liguria, not a subject of Spain and the United Kingdom. The only name the Habsburg family can use to legitimately appoint him is the position of emperor.
Restore feudal relations based on the throne of the Holy Roman Empire. While he is one of the overall targets for Ferdinand and Ladislaus, so far they have made limited progress.
Since Charles V passed through Switzerland, the Habsburg family has expanded its strength by defeating the Ottomans in the east and France in the west. It has also effectively suppressed peasant uprisings within the empire and established some important bridgeheads.
But it still failed to restore the actual relationship between monarch and ministers and establish minimum financial and judicial powers under the Holy Roman Empire system.
Ferdinand and Ladislaus only expanded their power within the empire as the most powerful princes. Far from re-establishing the relationship between the monarch and his ministers.
"I must admit that I like your uncle's way of doing things." Ferdinand was obviously quite satisfied with the performance of Marshal Doria. "I hope he can command the fleet to the same level."
"That's a matter between you and him. I hope you can get along well." Because of its geographical location, the Republic of Liguria was included in Spain's sphere of influence. Ladislaus did not intend to compete with Ferdinand for the rights to his childhood. The influence of the country, the merchant fleet and fleet controlled by the Doria family are obviously more valuable to the Spanish Empire than to the United Kingdom.
While Ladislaus and Ferdinand were chatting and laughing, the Swiss, who realized that the situation was not good, launched several counterattacks towards the castle gate, although the shelling was temporarily ineffective. But the cannon fired from the inner city walls will inevitably make the inner city undefendable.
When they first broke through the city, the Roman Church was in such chaos that they had no choice but to retreat to the last core stronghold, unable to defend the inner city at all.
But the key points that were easily lost during the collapse are now extremely difficult to regain.
They were unable to push back the Habsburg army in a short period of time. Even if there were several powerful true elect popes leading the charge, they could not break the Habsburg front with many strong men holding the line.
"careful!"
When it is confirmed that the battle at the city gate cannot be won. A figure as strong as a monkey suddenly climbed up from the city wall and rushed towards Ferdinand and Ladislaus.
Many soldiers under the city walls immediately shouted to remind their monarch, so even though Pius III was one of the greatest rogues in human history, he still could not get any advantage.
As soon as his purple, torch-like head appeared on the city wall, it was hit by fire from all directions.
Among all kinds of magic, the most powerful is a stream of pure flames. Anna's men are setting fires all over the city, but she herselfThe situation was always within sight of Ladislaus and Ferdinand.
Although he didn¡¯t have a good impression of this Kasius voter at all, Ferdinand had just been polite to her for a while. It has nothing to do with personal feelings and is completely relieved.
At first, various magics only dispersed the purple fire on Pius III's body. Although the terrifying purple shriveled body was exposed, this strange enemy made from the body of the former True Choice Pope still charged straight at Ladislaus and Ferdinand. At this time, Florentino, who was seriously injured, also tightened his grip on the weapon.
But Anna raised her hand and instantly unleashed a stream of fire that rushed the purple raider off the city wall.
Anna¡¯s choice was indeed the right one. Her outstanding performance here made the two Habsburg monarchs even though they were dissatisfied with her unauthorized actions of destruction, they had to nod to her.
This is Kashusi¡¯s confidence. He was indeed the strongest supporter of the Habsburgs against the Cyric Church.
At the same time, on the other side of the city wall, dozens of wanderers revived by the purple fire also climbed up from the city wall. They all succeeded in this extremely difficult climbing test with the help of Sirik's divine power.
But it is impossible to go further. Marshal Doria and many Spanish elites immediately launched a counterattack, knocking down the enemies who were trying to maintain stability off the city wall. Although many members of the artillery crew also launched resistance, two of the purple puppets even self-destructed on the city wall, killing many of them. Habsburg soldiers, but still harmless to the overall situation.
After killing several rebels, Generalissimo Doria gathered the prisoners into the gun groups with the highest numbers, and at the same time asked more Spanish soldiers to learn this skill at odd hours. Although it is not a matter of a day or two to learn this skill well, But it also showed an attitude to the prisoners.
Half an hour later, the artillery crew completed reloading, and the efficiency was even slightly higher than last night.
After this loud noise, the Romans in the No. 2 gun group cried with joy. Hugging each other and cheering.
Several shells fell near the Sistine Chapel, hitting the defenders' phalanx.
Although it was painful to kill a fellow man, the other Romans were relieved that their shot was successful, and the "wrath of God" shattered the god's pious servants to pieces.
The disaster in the motherland continues, but at least they can survive.
"Half of these artillery pieces are for you and half for me." They were still killing people just now, but soon Ferdinand and Ladislaus were discussing how to divide the spoils.
Ladislaus just nodded. On one side, he rushed down the city wall.
At this time, the Swiss phalanx was in crisis. They could not understand why the "Wrath of God" would kill their own people. These soldiers were told that the weapon that made a loud noise when fired was the weapon given to His Majesty the Medici by Cyric. The treasure will destroy the magic of freedom of those careerists and tyrants.
This propaganda once brought a lot of prestige to Medici¡¯s election as pope, but now it has become a reminder for the Roman Church State.
? And even worse, after the first shot. The Swiss soldier began to feel tired and hungry.
This is natural, they have been fighting endlessly and at high intensity for so long, they should be tired and hungry long ago.
In fact, the people in the first artillery group died unjustly. The first round of shooting was not without effect. One shell fell on the main body of the Sistine Chapel. Although nothing could be seen from the outside, in fact it was very effective. Effect.
The truly chosen pope in the Sistine Chapel no longer has the purple-haired image of power. Instead, he became a vicissitudes of life old man with white hair. He was at the end of his rope due to the consumption of legendary magic and the loss of cannon bombardment.
"Your Majesty, it's time to leave." Tony's voice rang again. He had just died not long ago and had not retained much of the wisdom he had during his lifetime, but his loyalty to the Medici family was still there.
At this time, he no longer spoke tactfully, but calmly suggested to his master.
Not long after the Habsburg Allied Forces' general offensive began, those puppets lost their purple coats one after another. Recovered into either fresh or shriveled corpses.
The same is true for several truly elected popes.
Although the final situation was very bad, the Swiss still resisted until the last breath. Members of the Swiss Guard covered every step outside the door of the Sistine Chapel.
It wasn¡¯t until the last person was trampled to death by Frundsberg that Ladislaus was able to enter this church with which he had a very profound and complicated relationship.
The main hall of the chapel was empty, leaving only Tony, who had also been restored to a corpse, and the throne of "Absolute Truth" that was no longer majestic and gorgeous. This throne was essentially a part of Sirik's divine power, and now it was just a big stone.
"The true chosen pope went to Castel Sant'Angelo." After a short search. Boss Sirica found a secret passage built in the city wall.
Based on the movement of the city wall, it is not difficult to determine where the true elect pope and his group of cardinals have gone.
This castle was the last important stronghold in Rome that was not controlled by the Habsburg Empire.
More importantly, this place was originally the tomb of Hadrian, the famous philosopher emperor of the ancient Roman Empire. The Habsburg Empire claimed to inherit the legal system of this empire.
"Haha. Wherever he hides, we will hunt him out for the great warlock royal family." Boss Silica felt ridiculous about the actual election of the pope. In his opinion, under the current circumstances, it is better to just stay here. Being captured in the Sistine Chapel was somewhat better than being captured in the Castle of Sant'Angelo.
"Haha, it's true." Florentino's thoughts were similar to Sirica's. Although he was still seriously injured, the pursuit should not be a problem.
After fighting together for a long time, at this moment, the relationship between the branches of the Habsburg family seemed very close.
But their proposal did not receive a response from the two monarchs.
Ferdinand did not speak, while Ladislaus picked up a fragment of "Absolute Truth" on the ground. After rubbing it for a long time, he raised his head and looked at the portrait of Cyric on the ceiling. This masterpiece by Michelangelo is both Chinese and Western. Rick's eyes were still so dark and arrogant.
Ladislaus saw the eternal sarcasm and conceit in those deep and distant eyes. He could not continue in this direction, at least not for the time being.
The series of disastrous defeats on this plane only slightly scratched the surface of Sirik, who is rich in thousands of planes. This slight damage is far from shaking his incomparable existence.
Ladislaus did not regain the coordinates. Although he could feel that the coordinates were close at hand, he alone could not regain this treasure.
Whether he wants to fight for this treasure or not is not something he can decide alone. All the Habsburg monarchs need to make a decision together.
At this moment, only Ladislaus and Ferdinand were the only people in the chapel who could see Barbarossa's tall figure.
This giant in crimson armor was looking up into Sirik's eyes.
A moment of trance seems like a thousand years.
He hesitated.
"Strive first and then make peace; fight for unity and then unity will survive." Ladislaus understood Barbarossa's intention, and he enlightened his ancestors with the words of the demigod from Liddy's plane.
Barbarossa finally raised his sword. Even if Bane remained neutral in this plane, the true god born in this plane would still have to show his dignity with his home power.
He turned to him and said to him in a voice that only Ladislaus could hear: "Well said."
Both Ladislaus and Ferdinand's "invitations to the feast" began to glow red.
Red and black shock waves suddenly converged from Ladislaus and Ferdinand, and a black double-headed eagle soared into the sky and rushed towards the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, spitting out fiery doom from His mouth.
All the images of Cyric in the Sistine Chapel are crumbling and disintegrating.
The purple paint fell on the bodies of Ladislaus and Ferdinand, and there was a tiny white light spot in it.
This starlight is hidden in Sirik¡¯s eyes in the ceiling of the hall, and only divine power can take it out.
It is both insignificant and as bright as a star. Only the "Guo Guo" and "Zhen Guo" can see it, and the more powerful the people, the more beautiful the light spots are.
Misrilla could only see a little trace, and felt its mystery vaguely.
Frunzberg, on the other hand, was almost stung and could not open his eyes, but he tried his best to see clearly.
Before it finally merged into Ladislaus's arm, Frundsberg got a little bit of the secret out of it, just a little bit really.
But this is the secret of the universe.
He threw himself into it wholeheartedly and experienced the moment of enlightenment.
He didn¡¯t realize it yet, but everyone in the Sistine Chapel was watching him, and Frundsberg was floating in the air.
After thousands of years, Europa has another legendary warrior who truly masters the rules.
Ladislaus was the only one not looking at Frundsberg, who was looking at another, more wonderful scene.
In the infinite vastness, the black double-headed eagle is soaring freely.
Although it is only in one plane, the black double-headed eagle is indeed thereA small corner was torn off from Sirik's vast and boundless territory, leaving a red and black spot in the purple dark sun that penetrated everything.
