Calgino suddenly found that he had lost his enemy.

Or maybe the Montina seemed to be completely hidden in the shadows, they no longer harassed him, and they no longer sent small teams to sneak attack, but this calm situation made Cargino a little worried.

He was also unaware of the sudden change in Pisa, so the idea of attacking Pisa was only affected by Machiavelli's words.

However, it was Machiavelli that Cargierno believed that the Venetians had entered Tuscany, and because of this, he was anxious to retreat from here to safety.

The Montina no longer harassed was not a good thing for Cargielno, who was now facing two problems.

Whether to continue to hold on to this river, or to leave immediately.

If he held on, the Venetians, who did not know when they would appear, and the supplies that would soon be cut off were his great enemies.

But if he left, Cardino knew very well that he might fall into Alexander's trap.

Alexander obviously wanted him to move, only by moving would there be flaws, and only by moving would he create all kinds of opportunities for the enemy.

Cardino did not know the tactic of "movement warfare", but he knew very well that marching at this time would be very disadvantageous to him, who might be attacked by the enemy at any time.

However, Cargielno soon knew that he had no choice, and as his men reported to him that the food they were carrying was running out, he knew that he would have no chance if he didn't leave.

In fact, this sneak attack was very risky, in order to quickly march to Pisa, he had already left most of his supplies in Oral Town when he set out before, and only brought something that could feed the soldiers for a few days.

Then, because of Machiavelli's words, Cargino simply threw away almost all the baggage that could not be taken away quickly, which made his people able to travel lightly, but they had almost nothing.

If they remain in Tuscany, what awaits them is the running out of ammunition.

"Gotta go."

Calgino made up his mind, he knew that this was the only way, and to his dismay, he had already found a way to deal with Alexander's cavalry, and if he was given enough food, he would have more chances to hit Alexander hard, or at least let him no longer rely on the harassment of the cavalry to make trouble for himself.

But now Calgino knew that not only victory had passed him, but even that what awaited him was a difficult escape road.

He must get out of the land that has become dangerous everywhere before the main force of the Montina arrives, and he must also make sure that the road to the town of Oral is clear.

Most of the Genoese baggage had already been left in Orar, and if they wanted not to go hungry on the rest of the march, they had to find a way to reach the town of Orar.

Calgino tried to make himself look steady, knowing that the news of the impending food run was likely to unsettle the soldiers.

For today's army, except for the locals recruited, it is difficult for pure mercenaries to endure all kinds of hardships, even if it is only temporary hardship, they can make a lot of noise, or even scatter in a hurry.

This kind of thing is very common, and there have even been cases of refusal to fight because of bad weather or other reasons.

Cargielno quickly gave the order, first sending another counter-scout, but never letting them run very far, but patrolling at a distance where they could help each other, and then ordering the army to quickly leave the makeshift fortifications and set out in the direction of Oral.

The scouts who were sent out were like many tentacles sticking out, cautiously staring at the movements around them, they also became more bold because they knew that they were not far from their own team, because of the large number of people, they were able to communicate with each other in time, which also made the Bohemians, who were not far away from them, have no chance to attack for a while.

Even so, Calgino still felt uneasy, he clearly knew that although the previous attack had not caused much damage to his team, the repeated and incessant harassment had put a lot of pressure on the soldiers, and if Montina's main force appeared at this time, then their result would probably be a fiasco.

So Calgino desperately urged his soldiers forward, and at the same time, in order to avoid Montina's main force, which might appear at any time, he had to send more scouts while carefully choosing the route of his advance.

For this reason, he changed the direction of his march more than once, and in doing so, it obviously caused the army to run a lot more, which naturally caused the dissatisfaction of the soldiers, although there were various captains to appease and even brutally suppress, but the increasing agitation of the soldiers still made Machiavelli, who was following Cargierno, feel a strong agitation that was intensifying.

"The misdeeds of the mercenaries have once again proved my previous opinion, and even I think that I was merciful and did not think of them badly, when in fact they were much worse than I thought," Machiavelli wrote in his diary, "that they would not do the menial work of ordinary soldiers, that they did not even bother to take part in the construction of fortifications that would save their lives, and that they were generally disciplined and commanding, and greedy, and I say this with a basis and not without a warrantious slander, For I have seen with my own eyes that some mercenaries, even though they have been given a clear order to proceed lightly, still refuse to throw away some of their bulky possessions, because they are his personal trophies. ”

Unbeknownst to Calgino, Machiavelli was using the actions of the Genoese army to find material for his magnum opus, only that he was approaching the town of Oral.

Alexander had been observing, and had been closely observing the movements of the Genoese ever since he had ordered the order to stop harassing the Genoese.

After the Genoese had left, he took a brief look at the abandoned fortifications, which, combined with the accounts of the surviving Bohemians, made Alexander admire that Cargino had so quickly found an effective way to deal with this harassment.

From the discarded and destroyed objects in the camp, Alexander sensed Cardgino's anxiety, which made Alexander wonder what he was hiding from.

Is it your own workhorse?

But he shouldn't seem so flustered, so what's wrong with him?

Curious, Alexander decided to follow all the way, and when he finally realized something after most of the day, the scouts he sent out met the first messenger sent by Oflei.

Unlike before, when Alexander knew exactly what direction Cargino was heading, Ofleyi was wandering aimlessly in the land of Tuscany, and although he knew the direction of the enemy at first, since Cargino's march suddenly became "weird", Ofleyi completely lost two goals.

He had lost both his enemies and his lords, and the only way for Ofleiil to worry was to march in the direction of his guess, and to send a large number of scouts to search the vast expanse of Tuscany for signs of the two armies.

Offrey was nervous and conflicted, he wanted to hear the news as soon as possible, but he was afraid of hearing bad news, so when Alexander sent someone to find him, Ofleiyi was so excited that he almost hugged Gompati.

But this joy did not last long, and after receiving instructions from Alexander to immediately order a march in the direction of the Genoese, Montina's army, exhausted and exhausted after a long journey, saw only an abandoned camp.

From the various traces left behind, Ofleiyi judged that there had been a battle here, which made him nervous again, but the loss of the two armies again, as if they had disappeared into thin air, left him in distress.

It was the same night that the Ofley's men finally found Alexander.

The bright light of the fire attracted the messenger, who had been cautiously searching for him in the night, and when he saw the Bohemia, the messenger immediately explained his intention, and when he saw Alexander, who was munching on hare meat in the camp, the messenger finally exhaled with relief.

There were quite a few people sent out by Alflai, and they all carried the same message, but for the sake of safety, they all carried imperceptible secret letters, and filled the small pages with the contents in a way that even the enemy could not understand even if they found out.

And the first news made Alexander a little dumbfounded.

"Honorable lord, allow me to congratulate you, your daughter, Mademoiselle Estelles Ju Cambrai, who has just been crowned Duke of Pisa on August 19......"

This first news shook Alexander so hard that he first blinked his eyes and then looked at them again, and after making sure that he was not mistaken, Alexander looked up in astonishment and blinked again.

Then Busako was a little worried about seeing him like this, and said blankly: "I am now the duke's father." ”

It was a very coincidence that Ofleiil heard the news about Pisa.

Worried about where to find the enemy, he had to send people around to inquire.

So in this not very large Tuscan land, the scout cavalry of both sides galloped back and forth.

Although this kind of continuous scene is already common for the people here, it still causes unease in the villages along the way.

News of another war in Tuscany spread quickly, and it soon reached those who had been ordered by Lucrezia to report to Alexander.

The messenger finally found the Montina army led by Oflaiil, and when he told the news, before Oflaiyi could react, Gompati had already let out an irrepressible cheer of joy!

Offrey immediately woke up, and the marching captain immediately realized the importance of this news, especially at a time when it seemed that the army was going to collapse at any moment because of the constant trek, this news was too important to him.

Oflaiyi quickly ordered the news to be spread throughout the army, and when the whole team burst into earth-shattering cheers as the heralds kept shouting, Oflaiyi had already taken out his codebook and began to write the news into a secret letter.

The messengers were arranged in different directions, and the verbal messages they brought with them were things that would not make sense even if they were intercepted, and what really mattered was the hidden secret letters.

The fact that Estelles became Duke of Pisa was no secret, and it should even be hyped up.

This was a declaration of the Gombray family's rightful possession of Pisa, but Ofleiil wrote the matter into the secret letter anyway, because the key to the matter was the more important news brought by the messenger.

About Tomneo's death, and the unexpected intervention of the Venetians.

So he needs to ask Alexander what to do next, whether to continue the pursuit of Calgino, or to make sure that everything goes well for Estles' coronation and quickly march towards Pisa.

Alexander did not hesitate to make a decision immediately.

"Prepare to get out of here tomorrow morning." Alexander looked into the night, he didn't know where Kargino was, but he couldn't help but feel a little regretful about ending this war, which had been fought a little inexplicably from beginning to end.

"The next time I see Cardino, it might be a different story." Alexander pondered in his heart.

He had a strong premonition that this would not be the last time they would deal with each other.

As for the possible marriage between Cargino and Barente, Alexander did not care.

Old Rovere was a real old fox, and the obvious act of sending his brother Archbishop of Genoa back to Genoa to deal with the Cargino family and the Parliament was to send his daughter to Montina says too much.

It's just that the outcome of this war will probably make old Rovie very dissatisfied, after all, he didn't see a result that would allow him to continue to make the final choice.

What would Barendi think when she found out about the news?

For a moment, the thought crossed Alexander's mind, and he quickly threw it aside.

He believed that Barendi might be a little uncomfortable, but he would not dwell on this matter, she was a person who could calmly say that she would not interfere with her fiancé's private life for the sake of the family, and she was more likely to think about what impact this kind of thing would have on the Luo Wei family.

"It's a messy fight, isn't it Busaxo?" Alexander asked a little helplessly.

The captain of the guard nodded silently, but he was secretly relieved in his heart.

At least it was a good ending, although in Busaco's opinion, he really didn't understand why the Genoese named Calgino was fighting such an inexplicable war.

Alexander withdrew his troops early in the morning, and before leaving he sent a letter to Cargino.

"I admire your good warfare, honorable general," Alexander begins the letter with a generous compliment to his enemies, and then writes that "for some personal reasons, I propose here a truce." At the same time, I suggest that you withdraw from Tuscany, and that we can use the town of Oral as a middle ground to identify a zone of mutual non-aggression.

I would like to remind you that the castle of Montina has strong enough fortifications that the artillery there is powerful enough to destroy any visitor who tries to be hostile, and that my fiancée, Barentia of Genoa, is guarding there as the regent of Montina, so please be cautious about my advice and not rush into attacking Montina.

Because if I receive such news, I will immediately tear up the truce and personally lead the army to attack Orar.

I'm sure you understand that cutting off this retreat to supply you and secure your return to Genoa means that there will be a battle to the death between us with only one survivor, and I am sure that it will not be you, General. ”

After writing such a letter, Alexander turned around like a whirlwind with the chasseurs and the bohemians and headed for Pisa.

He couldn't even wait to join up with the main force of Ofleil, and after a long day of traveling, they finally came to Pisa when the sunset caught Alexander's eye with a red halo in the distance.

On the evening of August 21, 1498, Alexandre Giulian Gombray, Count of Monttina, father of Estelles, Duke of Pisa, arrived in Pisa.
