Vol 5 Chapter 112: Great Battle (25)

No one can tell what happened when Earl Montina was about to challenge Sudan.
The confusion at the time even made some people feel that the whole thing seemed so unreal from beginning to end.
When Alexander appeared with only one attendant in front of the Ottoman barracks, countless eyes were cast on him. Many Ottoman generals had to ride on horses in the camp. They screamed and restrained the soldiers under their control. Do anything that might humiliate the Sudan ’s reputation, especially those Musselim infantry, who are strictly forbidden to be rude to the suddenly appearing European nobleman, and at the same time, the news about it was quickly sent to Sudan ’s Imperial camp.
Because the ritual of Ramadan was being held, the sending soldiers were blocked outside the royal camp for a long time, which caused Alexander to dryly stand outside the Ottoman camp under the attention of tens of thousands of people and bathe almost all morning. In the sun in May.
This is actually very dangerous, Busako's body has been soaked with sweat, not only because of heat, but also because of tension.
Busako knew that the longer the delay, the greater the danger. After the initial accident, the Ottomans will gradually calm down. If Bayset II will not appear again, those Ottoman generals may think that the Sudanese Do not take this challenge to heart, then they will no longer worry about the reputation of Sudan.
Alexander was also very nervous at this time, although he had repeatedly considered the various results that might occur before making this decision, and according to his careful study of the person of Bayesert II, the conclusion was that even Sultan will not accept his almost absurd challenge, but he should not just let someone kill him outside the barracks, but he also knows that in any case, this is indeed a very risky move.
Fortunately, Sudan finally responded to his challenge.
Bayesert II is a very strange person. In many people's eyes, this Sultan is very different from his father who has made great achievements. In his life, there are not many martial arts. Even in the impression of Alexander, this Sultan Whether his father or his son can only be described as "moderate talent".
As for the Suleman Emperor, who made the entire West cold for many years, Bayesert II was even more unremarkable.
But it was such a monarch in the heyday of the Ming dynasty who was born in the early Ottoman Empire, but in the later history, he was not blocked by the rays of his ancestors and descendants. He also has his own position.
Bayesert II is a very pragmatic person. He will not arbitrarily expedite the conquest just for the sake of martial arts, but once he decides to wage a war, he must have seen something in his favor.
Such a person is actually unlikely to accept the challenge of an enemy. Especially for such a ridiculous reason, it is even harder to imagine that Sudan will give up its lofty identity because of the reputation of a woman, and fight with another person inexplicably.
So when Sudan came out of the camp, many people were particularly surprised.
The Bucharest nobles who had already heard the news even caused a commotion. They watched the mad Count from afar. When the flag of Sudan appeared, then a man in a luxurious gold silk robe slowed down. When walking slowly, many Bucharest people almost shouted because of excitement.
Although no one knew it, people immediately realized who that person was, because no matter how dignified or his seemingly careless but steady pace was, many people immediately guessed that this person was Sudan himself.
When seeing the figure of Bayesert II, Alexander ’s tense nerves finally relaxed a little bit. In fact, he was not much better than Busako at this time. Even when the Sultan spoke to him, he started because of the previous Was too nervous and almost failed to respond.
"So, you are the Earl of Montina?" Bayesert's utterance is very clear. Latin with Roman accents and even Alexandria are more standard. In fact, this Sudan not only speaks Latin, but also speaks Greece and French, as far as his artistic level is not comparable to that of Alexander "I know you, your battle in Mures and the Argyle caused me a lot of trouble."
"It makes me very sorry for Sudan, but that is my duty as your enemy." Alexander nodded slightly, then his eyes and the Sultan looked at him with interesting eyes. "But I came to you today because of a A personal grudge. "
"Is that what you said about the reputation of the Greek princess?" Bayesert II looked at Alexandria quite interesting. "How do you think I will accept your challenge, know that you are facing a Sudan now?" , The ruler of the most powerful empire in the world, the king of kings, the conqueror of countless conquerors, do you think I will have a meaningless duel with a small unknown person? "
Alexander listened to the Sudan expressionlessly, but he did not expect the Sultan to be narcissistic, but thinking about the Ottoman rulers who had been described as extremely arrogant in the past, he knew that this was not unusual.
The arrogance of the Ottoman Sultan is well known all over the world, which even surprised Europeans once, and this one, but the son of Muhammad II, the grandfather of Suleyman the Great, is just these identities enough for him to stand for his origin The pride is endless, not to mention the fact that the Sultan, whose talent was concealed by the halo of his father and grandchildren, is not mediocre at all.
"I think you will respond because it is related to the Greek princess." When talking about the Greek princess, Alexander's tone was deliberately increased. He noticed that Sudan's original face with a gentle smile appeared slightly dignified, which made Alexander was sure that his guess was indeed correct.
Bayesert II stared silently at Alexander, after which he finally said: "The princess must pay the price. Since she is the last blood of Valleio, then she has to bear everything she should bear for this identity. , So I will not let her live in this world. "
Alexander, who already knew the result, frowned slightly. From the moment he heard that Sophia was reported to be a descendant of East Rome, he knew that he would face this danger one day. For the Ottomans, the word Greek princess is no longer It's just as simple as a person, but a symbol.
And Sudan cannot allow such a symbol to exist in the world.
Even as some people have proposed to Bayesett II before, to marry the princess as a wife to appease and declare a reasonable inheritance of Rome, but in Bayesett II's own view, such a proposal None may be more reliable than directly eradicating that scourge.
Rather than having more branches in the future, it is better to use the most direct method to thoroughly eradicate future problems.
Sultan watched Alexander ’s eyes become deep and fierce. He stared at Alexander ’s eyes slowly and undoubtedly said: "I can be sure that you are a very ambitious person, you know I will do this, but You are willing to take risks to challenge me. I think I can guess your purpose and tell me what I want? "
"So what do you want from Sudan?" Alexander asked with a self-conscious expression.
"Bucharest, Greece, Moravia and Hungary, if I can, I want to see the scenery of Vienna, but of course my biggest wish is to be able to climb the Seven Hills of Rome." Bayesert II did not hide his Ambition "My goal is to conquer the entire world.
"People who want to conquer the world are lunatics," Alexander said disapprovingly. He saw the anger on Sudan's face, but continued indifferently. "Either Alexander the Great or Genghis Khan dreamed of conquering the world. But none of them succeeded. You may be able to conquer this land in Sudan, but it is impossible to conquer the entire European continent. "
"Why not, as long as the little girl in the city is killed, the resistance in this land will disappear, and then my army can penetrate deep into the hinterland of Europe, and my fleet can even directly threaten Rome and the Vatican." Sudan is interesting Looked at Alexander "Unless someone can stop me from doing this, then I want to know who this person is, do you?"
"Yes, it's me."
Alexander smiled and nodded.
Sultan looked at this young man who seemed to have no idea of ​​the height of the sky with some funny eyes, and then gently raised his chin to signal him to continue.
"The evidence that I say this is that you are willing to come and see me," Alexander was not annoyed by the seemingly contemptuous move of Bayesert II, he was confident to prove that he was not wrong. "The reason I challenge you may be absurd. , But as I said earlier, because this is related to the Greek princess, you will definitely respond to me. We all know what the Greek princess means to this land, especially you. I believe that when you are confident that you can completely solve this huge When it comes to troubles, you wo n’t mind making the prestige and influence of the Greek princess more important than ever. "
Alexander ’s words made Sudan ’s eyes cold. He looked at Alexander coldly. Although he was fat, he had a very strong body and stood upright. At this time, Bayset II looked more majestic and imposing. .
Sudan cannot but admit that Alexander spoke to him.
For him, the current Greek princess is already a fish in his net. At this time, he not only does not mind the princess ’s influence on the entire Balkans, he even hopes that the influence will be greater. She regarded her as the last hope.
Then, he will completely destroy and crush this hope in the face of everyone. He wants to make the Balkans understand that the last dream in their minds has been shattered, and the last of the legendary Roman Empire that they have placed unlimited expectations The blood, has completely disappeared under his ruthless saber.
Sudan wants everyone to know that the last blood of the Roman Empire will fall with this city called Bucharest. He needs to fundamentally eliminate the Balkans' last sense of resistance.
The young man in front of him seemed to know his thoughts, so he also attracted his attention in the name of the Greek princess.
"You are ambitious, but bad luck," Bayesert II looked at the young man in front of you. "You will become the most dazzling person in Bucharest because of this matter, but how long do you think your glory can last, when I When your cannon bombarded that wall, it was your end. By that time, the more you get from that girl, the greater the cost. "
Alexander nodded, then shook his head slightly.
His eyes met Sultan's deep eyes, then he gently raised his hand and made a reassuring gesture to the guard next to Sudan, then backed out two steps and slowly pulled out the saber from his waist.
Suddenly there was a burst of weapon sheathing among the Sudanese guards. At the same time, a group of Ottoman musketeers standing in the distance raised their muskets. The muzzles of countless black holes were aimed at Alexander at this moment.
"I used to swear to protect her, and vowed to give her glory that no one else had. I remember these words being said to her when we left Sicily," Alexander looked at the saber on his arm. Said easily to the Sudan "At that time, I thought that one day let her live like a lady, so that those who once scorned her had to compliment and flatter her beauty and happiness," said Alexander. Looking back at the distant city wall, and then turning his head, his expression became very dignified. "But now, she has more than I had promised her. What I can do is not to give but to protect. , To protect herself and everything she has now and in the future. Sultan, I can tell you here that no one can destroy what Sophia has now, and no one can threaten her life, even the one who claims to be the king of kings The Sultan of Ottoman should not try to do so, I will stop you. If you insist on doing this, I will make you pay a high enough price. "
Bayesert II looked at Alexandria unexpectedly. He did not expect that this young European would threaten him so boldly and face to face. This made Sudan more than anger but curiosity.
He didn't believe that this young man was crazy, but he couldn't think of how he would dare to offend himself unless he explained it like this.
"Count, I changed my mind," Bayesert II shook his head gently. "I will not punish you for your relationship with the Greek princess. I will subject you to punishment for your offense to me today. That punishment. I will regret you for being rude to me today. Remember, from now until the moment when Bucharest is captured, my words will become reality at any time. "
After speaking, Bayesert II looked at the sword in Alexander's hand and slowly turned to walk to the camp.
"Sudan!" Behind, Alexander suddenly shouted with a loud voice, which made everyone's eyes fall on him again, looking at Bayesert II who stopped and did not look back. Alexander said aloud. Alexandre Juliant Gumbre! Guardian of the lighthouse in Sicily, Lord Agri in Florence, Regent of Pisa, Count of Montina, please remember that if someone prevents you from fulfilling your desire to become king of kings, that's me!"
Listening to what came behind him, Bayesert II slowly turned his head halfway, as if to turn around, but in the end he didn't look back.
"You will be remembered by history like this city. I will let you die more gloriously, but it is a pity that your destiny in the history book will only be a small footnote in the process of being conquered."
After Sultan spoke slowly, he walked towards his camp with ease.
Alexander looked at the back of the sultan, and he knew that Bayesert II was actually right. In the centuries-old conquest history of the Ottoman Empire, there were too many people like him, and countless attempts to stop the Ottoman Empire This monster-like giant war machine has been ruthlessly crushed into dust. Under the vast borders of the Ottoman army, it is the bones of countless losers trying to stop this huge giant.
"But I'm not them." Alexander whispered that he knew that neither Sultan nor Bucharest would believe him at this time, and no one believed that he would be the one who stopped the monster of the Ottoman army, so Alexander just continued to whisper, "Then let us see."
Alexander turned and jumped onto Pagasos's back. On the way back with Busako, he noticed that several Anatolian light cavalry teams were cruising around him, but he was not worried.
The pride of the Ottoman Sultan made Bayesert II not tolerant of someone hurting him, and even the Sultan might have hoped that he would stay alive until the day Bucharest fell.
In the distance, the gate of the Bukuri fortress also opened early, and a team of hunting guards stood on both sides of the gate in two columns.
When Alexander walked in front of them, all the guards at the same time lifted the spears in their hands forward, and the sharp spears that overlapped each other formed a long corridor above Alexander's head.
Alexander came down from the horse and walked slowly under the corridor. When he passed, the spear was divided like an open door from left to right, and under the fortress door, a person was waiting for him.
The knight of Gilas looked dignified. When Alexander came not far from him, the knight bowed to salute ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Earl, today is the Ottomans' festival of fasting, they will not attack Si whispered that, looking at the slightly puzzled eyes cast by Alexander, Gilas continued: "So if you want to propose to the princess, now is a rare time. "
Listening to Gilas, Alexander just smiled.
He continued to walk forward, and when passing by Gilas, Alexander slightly turned his head and said softly to him: "You are wrong knight, I don't need to propose, because Sophia is already my wife."
Then, in a stunned astonishment of Gilas, Alexander strode into the gate of the Bukul fortress with the hunting guard.
At this time, in Bucharest Cathedral, the Bucharest Patriarch was holding a thick document carefully and at the same time, he kept talking in his mouth: "The blessed sacred marriage, this is a blessed Holy marriage. "
Also on this day, in the distant Montina, a long-dressed Uliu quietly left Montina Castle.
May 1499 came.
