Vol 5 Chapter 124: Dahe Siege · End (Oh! Grenadier ~)

Sophia was sitting in a very wide and deep chair, and she was playing with the crown she had worn before going to battle.
The crown is made of gold. In addition to a sapphire in the middle, there are several other gems of different colors and shapes around the crown. According to the Greek relics, each gem implies a place in the Roman Empire An indivisible territorial sovereignty that has been in existence since ancient times. Among them, a green prismatic gemstone made Sophia most concerned, because according to the statement, this emerald represents Sicily.
Sicily, this is where Alexander and Sophia met, where they experienced a special time that belonged to only two people.
At that time, Alexander was still a poor boy wandering around, and Sophia followed Alexander in the gorgeous bohemian dresses she liked.
Since when did the two people ’s lives change dramatically, it seems that it was not the time when Alexander was involved in the Sicilian palace and was stabbed. Although it was precisely because of that, their pure lives were completely disrupted, but even In those most dangerous times, Sophia was the only one in Alexander's eyes.
It was after arriving in Naples, when the two young men who had been through the tribulation finally met again, Sophia unexpectedly discovered that there was a beautiful and noble young girl beside Alexander, and the girl also shamelessly claimed to be his sister.
This made Sophia irritated, and in her mind, as long as there was a self around Alexander, it was enough for her lover, even her sister!
However, the development of the incident later made Sophia disappointed and sad again and again. In addition to the inexplicable half-sister, a so-called fiancee also appeared.
Barendi de la Rovere's appearance made Sophia not worried. Except for a woman's body, Barendi's appearance was mediocre and almost difficult to remember, but she was a noble and bishop with great power. Daughter, at this point Sophia knew she could not compete with her at all.
So under the persuasion of his father and the intentional or unintentional hints of those around Alexander, Sophia chose to leave.
But she didn't give up. She had to wake herself up first, and then figure out how to be with her beloved one and never be separated again.
She suffered a lot for this, whether it was to undergo the almost critical training of the queen when she first entered the Prague court, or the disturbed when Ladislas II was pushed to the Balkan nobles as a bargaining chip, all this Sophia's experience has been subjected to heavy pressures that are not consistent with her age.
But that kind of effort also paid off. More importantly, when he heard her whereabouts, Alexander came to him from distant Rome without hesitation, which made Sophia feel unhappy, and now she also knows I already have enough capital to compete with that Balendi.
But why is there a sudden addition of Lucrezia Borgia?
And Alexander actually gave birth to a daughter who was said to have a bad reputation!
Thinking of these Sophies couldn't help pulling the crown in her hands. For a time, the crown was unable to be deformed by her huge strength, and there was a danger of breaking at any time.
A sound of footsteps interrupted Sophia's cranky thoughts. She looked up at the door and saw Bodped come in.
Sophia still has some good feelings for this very wise Greek old man, but these good feelings are entirely derived from his support for her marriage to Alexander. As for other places, she does not care.
"His Royal Highness, let me see if you are ready."
Bodped said cautiously that he knew the princess was somewhat self-willed, especially when it came to Alexander, her willfulness would inevitably cause headaches. If it was just an ordinary little girl, no one would deny it now. Sophia ’s fate has been linked to many people, at least for the Greeks, Sophia is not only their hope of returning to the country, but also the only sign that protects the Greeks from mutual dumping.
The nobles of the coalition forces were of great suspicion, and there was no gap between the remnants of the Greeks.
The immigrants of the Eastern Roman Empire and the remnants of Trabzon, as well as the descendants of other nobles who have remained since the time of the Great Split, since the fall of Constantinople, the fugitive life of panic Contradictions have been covered up, but this does not mean that these conflicts no longer exist.
In order to compete for the title of Roman orthodox descendants, various forces have been tumbling against each other for too long. Now a best opportunity appears in front of the Roman descendants, which makes Bodped believe that maybe everything will be fine.
Is the girl who can't speak in front of him really a Greek princess? If it comes to appearance, the earl of Montina looks more like a real Greek.
This thought disappeared only after a flash in Bodped ’s heart. The old man knew that such a problem could not be studied in depth.
Especially at this time, whether it is for internal stability or external support, the girl in front is undoubtedly the only choice for the Greeks.
Sophia raised her hand to make a gesture, and then tilted her head to look at the somewhat bewildered Bodped, took out a small writing pad beside her, and drew some names on it with a pen dipped in ink.
Looking at the handwriting above, Bodped responded: "Princess Cepes is now on the other side of the Dembwica River. The count is worried that someone might be against you. We are ready near your residence, the count's soldiers Barricades are being built on the street. "
Sophia got excited immediately. She quickly walked to the window and looked out. She saw the busy pile of stones in the street, and even a stone-walled hunting guard was stationed in the nearby courtyard. Sophia's eyes narrowed slightly. It became two thin lines.
"Your Highness, you have to make some preparations." Bodped looked at Sophia's armor and frowned slightly. He had prepared some simple clothes in private so that he could take Sophia away from here if necessary, and then take her to Alexandria Go to the military camp.
Bodped has heard of the open conflict between Alexander and Ladislas II at the negotiating table. In fact, the contradiction between the two sides was already made public when deciding whether to attack the Ottomans. This time it was only stronger. Even if it is in front of the enemy, there is no scruples.
Despite some reluctance, Sophia nodded. She waved to the maid standing on the side and motioned her to come over and help herself to remove the armor.
"There is also news," Bodped thought that she should try to let the princess know what had happened, so that she could understand how serious things were. "The count's sister is also across the river."
Sophia, her fingers on the armor buckle, was stunned for a moment, and she moved her neck in a way that seemed a bit stubborn, so that she looked slightly crooked to the side.
If you are someone who knows Sophia well, such as Alexander, then you will already know what her action heralds, but unfortunately Bodped does not understand the meaning of this action.
So the Greeks continued: "The count ’s sister, the Countess of Cosenza in Naples, is fighting the Ottomans with the Grand Duke. It is said that the count has sent someone to contact her, but because of the complicated situation on the other side, there is no information about it yet. Their news. "
Sophia's neck moved again, but this time her head was straight, but she looked straight and stiff.
She waved her hand to prevent the maid from continuing to untie her armor, strode back to the chair in a whine of dinine, and then squinted her eyes again, but this time it was no longer smiling.
Then she picked up the writing pad and used all her strength to poke the tip of the quill pen upside down and wrote a word: "Ν? Η!"
Looking at the ugly handwriting that had all the wooden writing pads poked, Bodepeide was blank for a while, ignorant.
Alexander did not know how much trouble the old Greeks had troubled him with a single sentence. He was anxiously waiting for a report from across the river.
He knows the horror of Xi Sugu. It can be said that Xi Sugu is by far the most difficult opponent to deal with him. Even a closer recall will reveal that in fact, the two confrontations of the two Alexander vaguely fell under the wind, even once On several occasions he nearly lost to the man of General Ottoman.
Zepes encountered such an enemy, I believe he must not be easy.
But this is not what Alexander really worried about. For him, Cepes's victory or defeat is not important, and even Bucharest can hold it is not the key.
From the moment when it was determined that the Sudan was indeed an accident, Alexander knew that the war was coming to an end, then he only had to protect Sophia, and then the threat from Emperor Maximian from the mouth of Ladislas II Just grab the piece of fat called the big copper mine.
But now, the sudden appearance of Ruo Sha made Alexander's original calmness disappear, and when he thought that Ruo Sha was on the other side of the river, his heart immediately tightened.
Alexander is not optimistic about Cepes. Although there is a big name, he even beat the Sudanese army down, but this does not mean that Cepes is a general who can conquer the war.
On the contrary, in Alexander ’s view, Zeppes may be a very smooth politician, but he may not be a real general. Although he was freed from the Ottoman siege when he was cleverly supported by Dembwica, he was unable to It can be seen by precisely grasping the opportunity to strike against the Bucharest people who are enclosing.
In Alexander's view, Zepez was obviously frightened by the unfavorable situation at that time. He tried to bypass the south bank of Bucharest from the east bank of the river. No matter how he looked, he was more avoiding the battle with the Ottomans.
Alexander knew that he might have been picky about this man, but because of the several confrontations with Xi Sugu, he was very impressed by the Ottoman general.
At the same time, because of the spicy use of Xi Sugu's military means, he had already learned, so he was less optimistic about Cepes.
Ruo Sha is now with Cepes, which makes Alexander feel worried.
He immediately sent someone to go to Compati, while secretly praying that Zeppes would persist for a while.
Since he lost all the artillery again in the marshland battle, Gompati decided that Bucharest was his sad ground.
If it wasn't for my fellow Nicholas Jo Mazzini to enlighten him from time to time, maybe he would relieve himself by using wine all day.
Mazzini is still the team officer of the second team of the Pisa team, but often he stays next to Alexandria. The Pisa is very happy that his team officer is very productive, because there are rumors that the count may adjust Mazzini Go around and reuse.
This made the Pizza think that Mazzini gave them a face.
When Alexander's order came, Mazzini was seriously calculating the gun's hit rate for Gompati, because according to him, whether the artillery could hit the target to the greatest extent was not entirely dependent on the gunner's experience.
"Sometimes luck is also a part of strength. What we have to do is how to make luck a little bit more." This is Muccini's explanation of why he needs to calculate the hit rate. At the same time, he also extended this efficiency to the second place in Pisa. Brigade, according to him, "If we can always be faster than the enemy no matter what we do, then we can be closer to victory and farther to death."
Alexander ’s task to Gompati was very simple. He was asked to cross the river to the opposite bank as soon as possible to contact Ruosha. It would be better if he could take her across the river. If the situation was not good when he saw Ruosha, Alexander told Gompati to be sure Get in touch with the Greeks in the Cepes army and ask them to protect Rusha from the battlefield.
"You can go anywhere, as long as you can survive."
Alexander was worried. He was worried that Zeppes would do everything for his personal reputation. If that kind of negotiation might happen because of this accident, even Ruosha might be in danger.
Gompati was a little surprised. He said that he had never seen Alexander like this. It seemed that he was not only uneasy, but even a little panicked. When it came to saying that he had to protect Lasa ’s safety anyway, Alexander ’s The voice is very low, and the tone doesn't sound like commands and exhortations but rather requests.
The count and his sister must have a good relationship, which is the only reason Gumpati can explain the strange expression of Alexander.
Gompati quickly and quietly left with a small group of soldiers. Because the two sides have reached an agreement, he can only sneak the river as carefully as possible, and there are not many soldiers.
According to the agreement between the two sides, Hami Resal Prom was sent as a representative of the Ottomans in the coalition. This was done not only for the two parties to contact in time, but also to monitor whether the coalition forces quietly sent reinforcements across the river.
As the superintendent of the coalition, Ladislas II sent his prime minister.
Hami Resal Prom is obviously a very adaptable person. Although he is in the enemy camp, he is calm and self-confident. In addition to walking around in the barracks casually, he is also with the coalition generals and Yan Yuese. Conversation.
If it were not for the ongoing negotiations between the two sides, it was speculated that Sudan was likely to have encountered an unexpected event, but the ’s face showed no sign of Sudan ’s life and death.
Resal is obviously more familiar with the generals of the coalition than his enemies. He can casually say a long list of titles of someone, or he can praise the most proud feat of a nobleman in the conversation. He quickly gained the favor of the coalition nobles.
However, Resal knew who really influenced the coalition. Except for the King of Bohemia, he most naturally paid attention to the Earl of Montina who was said to have a marriage contract with the Greek princess.
Resal soon visited Alexandria. When he saw Alexander sitting in a chair under the tent and looking into the distance, Resal suddenly thought that maybe things were not so difficult.
The keenly smelled Alexander's anxious breath hidden in his heart. Although he didn't know what it was, he immediately realized that the young count was far less calm than the surface.
"Will Count if you want to put forward new conditions? Will you consider them?" Resal looked at Alexander. "A reasonable and acceptable condition for everyone."
Alexander's eyes fell on Resal's face, no opening but nodded slightly to signal him to continue.
"That, the Greek princess," Resalton said the title only after "the title must be cancelled, she can claim to be a descendant of Valleolo, but she must declare the abolition of the title of Greek princess and give up including Greece and Bulgaria, Bosnia, and all places of inheritance, and she must publicly recognize Sudan as her monarch, and she and her descendants, "said the who looked at Alexandria with profound eyes." You must swear allegiance to stay at The Sultan of Istanbul. "
Alexander listened quietly. He did not interrupt the eunuch. At this time, what he cared about was not Sophia's title, but Rosa on the other side of the river.
Although he could not hear the sound of shouting guns and guns on the battlefield, he seemed to see that Ruo Sha was in danger. This made him almost unable to bear the soldiers to cross the river to rescue Ruo Sha.
But he knew that this would not only be irrational, it might even bring greater danger to Ruo Sha, because doing so would likely lead to the increase of troops on both sides of the river by both armies.
Gompati will rescue Lao Sha, who is a real soldier.
Alexander could only comfort himself so much in his heart. He knew that what he had to do at this time was that he had to be firmly nailed to the west bank of the Dembrica. This was done to monitor the Ottomans, but also to monitor Ladi. Silas II and his men.
After all, for Ladislas II, Zepes is also the one who wants to get along quickly.
As for the title of Sophia, Alexander did not care so much at this time, because, at this time, he was already sure that Bayesert II was really in trouble, and the situation was very serious.
The reason why he would speculate is that Resal's last sentence made him hear some clues.
Must swear allegiance to the sultan who stopped in Istanbul, not Bayesert II!
It sounds like there is no difference in the title. It has already explained too many problems.
Sudan can be anyone, but Bayesert II has only one.
Obviously, even if Sophia is willing to take the oath of allegiance, the status quo of Bayesert II today may have been able to sustain this oath for a long time, so in order to make this oath become an iron fact over time, it cannot be specific someone.
To be sure, as a minion around Sultan, if Bayesert II is safe, Reisal would never dare to say that.
Everything has to wait for the result of the other side of the river, everything has to wait for the victory or defeat of that battle.
If it wins, it will mean that the Ottoman expedition ends with the accident in Sudan and the defeat of the final battle of the siege.
However, if it fails, the Ottomans are likely to do their utmost to intimidate the Balkans to threaten to capture Bucharest in order not to be disturbed in the subsequent imperial civil unrest.
And if that's the case, both Ruosha and Sophia may be in danger.
Alexander thought anxiously in his heart. He had never felt that time had passed so slowly as now.
The sun is setting, and the rosy sunset from the western earth dyes the Bucharest plains magnificently.
Alexander climbed a high hill and looked at the dark and dark East.
Suddenly, a strange tune that seemed to be in a trance came faintly. Alexander thought he had heard it wrong, but he soon determined that he had indeed heard the tune that shook his mind.
It was a piece of music that would never appear nowadays ~ EbookFREE.me ~ is a piece he gave to Rosa.
It's just that he didn't expect to hear it here, and as the tune became clearer, he heard a burst of singing.
"Soldiers, prepare to move forward ~
Look, the Ottoman armor is bright,
Their feathers are so beautiful that they cannot help but want to pick them up,
Oh ~ Grenadier, the countess is there, let us pay tribute to her,
Let us get honor,
Oh ~ Grenadier, the Ottomans are there, let us pounce on the enemy.
Let us win the victory ~ "
