Chapter Seventy-Five: Constantinople
Tambolance Empire.Constantinople.
It was a military port under the full authority of the Emperor, and after several generations of operation and development, the whole outside of the fortress was now surrounded by dense residential and commercial areas, and the 'shrewd' merchants, craftsmen, and all sorts of speculators who were good at drilling camps, looked at all gaps, and tried by all means to get a piece of the state machine.
It is here that the famous Panlong River, which flows through the imperial capital of Sisa, flows into the Sea of Horror.
It was noon, and the official road leading to the fortress was still bustling with people, and along both sides of the road, there were all kinds of shops and houses, and the degree of liveliness was no worse than that of Cisa.
Albert and the others were also part of it, and he took his mother and Catherine with him, and according to the arrangement of the military advisor Tarren Crawford, the dwarf Kegunben 'Se' played the role of their bodyguard and house slave, and Adrian disguised himself as a polymath monk who had come to the mainland from the island of Hope to learn and travel.
In the entire Tambolance Empire, as long as there is a human settlement, there will be an infiltration of erudition. Of course, Kentan is a very special exception.
King Hope was a well-known supporter of the Holy See, and he was the first to lead an army to retake the holy city of Röma during the Northern Expedition against the pagans of the Desserts.
Ever since His Holiness Damasus retreated to the island of Hope with the Sage King, Constantinople has largely been transformed into a bridge of communication between the island and the mainland.
Emperor Deliot could deal with those dukes, The counts are ruthless, but there is nothing they can do with these breezy monks. They are like air and water, and they are closely related to the daily life of all the people. No matter how tyrannical the ruler is, he will not think of killing all the people in the world, because the premise of his high position is to rely on these poor worms as the foundation. Lewd' grew up under it.
Albert abandoned his position as a negotiator and the dignity of a duke, and with the help of the angels in black and his men, he escaped through a secret passage under the church of Birti and escaped through the night.
Cardinal Benedict, when he was separated from his son in the city of Apulia, secretly 'handed over' a chartered indulgence written by the Holy See, which was comparable to the emperor's handwritten oracle, and in some cases even higher than the oracle.
Sometimes, life is like a great drama full of coincidences and pitfalls. The governor of Constantinople had secretly expressed his concerns to Emperor Deliot through a flying pigeon biography half a year ago. As His Majesty's agent in the Empire's largest port, I have a few words that I have been holding back for a long time, and I really don't want to vomit or be unhappy, whether it is the Orthodox or the newly rising Kotés Cult. I cannot tolerate Constantinople becoming an instrument of the Masters and the King of Hope.Please make a decision as soon as possible.Try to find a way to cut off this connection as soon as possible... Acting Grand Commander of Constantinople, Savarington, was the first hundred to worship."
This letter was immediately warmly responded to by Emperor Del T.S. He praised and praised the Commander-in-Chief's devotion to the country several times by means of the same flying pigeon. The Emperor's father-in-law, the Duke of Loyle, took the opportunity to speak from the side, hoping that the Emperor would send a competent man to Constantinople to assist the Commander-in-ChiefWhether it is mediocre or "refined", he will always 'hand' over the agency ownership of Constantinople to his confidants.
The Savarin was an exception, he was nearly seventy years old, he was already a commander before Defot was on the throne, his skill and conscientiousness, and the prestige he had accumulated over that day gave Emperor Elliot no reason to replace him.
As for the Duke of Lloyle's suggestion, Deleven knew very well that life was rare for seventy years, and that old man had few days to live. In the future, there will be many detours, but Emperor Deliot has more eyes than anyone else, and he is also aware of the risks that may arise from doing so: there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and if there is a conflict between his henchmen and the old and strong commander, then there will inevitably be a question of who to support, and no matter which side it falls, there will be great trouble.
Savarin had been running Constantinople for so many years, and the roots were already all over its streets, and the emperor had to think of a good way to get the best of both worlds in order to solve the puzzle.
This problem soon took a turn for the worse.General Iros, who had returned from the disgraced defeat of the city of Birti, inadvertently entered the emperor's sight again.This old man did not have a smooth time.Either he was overwhelmed or bullshit.From the city of Gred in the east to the city of Roma in the north.All of them are examples.Fortunately, he has always been able to be defeated again and again.If it were someone else.I'm afraid it would have collapsed long ago.
Del Tiot's wishful thinking was clear: General Iros was ambitious and ambitious, and if he was sent to Constantinople, he would not make Savarin feel threatened, and he would be able to control the situation remotely.
In response to the Commander's concerns, the Emperor further responded by letter: "General Savarin, the reason why the Doctrine has grown so much is not something that came into being overnight. This organization is an invisible empire.Whether it's a monastery in the wilderness or a church in the middle of the city.Every facility is seemingly inadvertently binding the hearts of the people of the Bodie Continent.The reason why our Tamborance Empire was able to establish it is also largely thanks to the Crement Pope back then.You are right.The northern heretics are just a mustard disease.And those dukes and counts can also surrender one by one sooner or later.But this Bodian organization is not broken. I am very much in favor of your proposal to cut off the island of Hope from the mainland.Since Constantinople is under your full control, I will give you the words "act cheaply."As long as it is beneficial to the empire itself.As long as it is detrimental to the liberal arts.I will unconditionally support it.General Iros, who is about to arrive, is a man worthy of respect and trust.Of course, his talent is far less than that of you.But you have a perseverance.He has come to learn from you.You can treat him as an ordinary soldier.You should make full use of him.You don't need to ask me for advice.Anyway.Besides.O has a perseverance.He has come to learn from you.You can treat him as an ordinary soldier.You should make full use of him.You don't need to ask me for advice.Anyway... Emperor of the Tambolance Empire by the grace of God."
......
After this came and went, Albert and the others' good plans would not have gone so smoothly, and they thought that they were unaware of their actions, but they had already been locked in by several pairs of eyes.
Although he knew that Duke Borot was now in unprecedented danger, his temperament could not be changed.
In the three months of boredom in the abandoned house, Adrian grew greatly, and Kegun's memory was nothing more than the endless taste of the wax-chewing horse 'pee' wine.
At the time of the city of Birti, due to various constraints, Cagong did not have time to get too drunk and was now on the border of Constantinople, and the hunger and thirst accumulated in those months made him unstoppable.
The short man immediately pointed to a shop sign in the distance and said, "Look at the red beer can."
Albert's military advisor, Talen Crawford, looked at it and couldn't help but snort, "This is the Redthroat Tavern......"
"I know, I know, the Redthroat Tavern." Kagun's big excitement made him angry.
Albert considered that it would not be convenient to enter and exit the tavern with his 'female' dependents, so he asked in a low negotiating tone, "Let Adrian help you buy it, and then we continued to the docks."
"Brother Ai is now a polydoc monk, although drinking alcohol is not against the dogma, but after all, it is not good." Kegun's words are quite literary.
Tarun cleared the siege on the side and said, "Then I'll help you buy it."
"No, no, each wine has its own different quality, and even the same wine can be very different depending on the container, the storage time, and all kinds of 'messy' relationships. Kagan does not give up.
"It's all right, let's go together." Mrs. Charlotte poked her head out of the hired carriage and said. It's right to eat and drink enough.I've been bumpy on the road for a few days.I'm feeling a little tired.It's better to find a hotel to rest for the night.,' 'Spirit' before continuing."
"But......," Albert retorted, saying that it wasn't safe.
"I believe that God is merciful after all, and He cannot continue to demand anything after depriving us of so much." There is a hint of sadness in Mrs. Charlotte's words.
Since then, the big picture has been decided, and Kaegan has won.
'Want' to know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
