From the Naussava River to the north, the original large mountains become less steep, and the further north, the more gentle the terrain becomes, and gradually the majestic mountains become undulating hills, although there are still some places quite high, but in general Northern Bosnia is in a high terrain in the south and low in the north.

A tributary of the Nausawa River in the south flows towards this gentle hilly terrain and then joins another river in the land.

The delta-like land formed by the two rivers has become extremely fertile, and large crops dot the black-brown land, and even in winter, patches of brownish-yellow winter wheat can still be seen.

This is the famous fertile land of Northern Bosnia, where the harvest used to determine whether Bosnia survived the famine-free winters, but now the food here is not only still so important, but to some extent, has become the key to the fate of many people.

The Ottoman blockade of northern Bosnia was severe, and the conquerors clearly could not tolerate the existence of a land of nominal submission, not to mention the fact that the Patriarch of Zagreb openly refused to recognize Ottoman rule over Bosnia, and called on all believers to arm themselves to drive the infidels from their land.

Of course, this behavior could not be tolerated by the Ottomans, and the result was a tougher blockade of the north by the Ottomans.

As a result, life in the north became less pleasant, and many of the northern nobles, fearing the Ottoman invasion, were also annoyed by the hardships of the blockade, and some young men considered whether they should take the risk of getting help by sea, while most of the nobles went from the beginning of their enthusiastic attempts to regain lost territory, and later went their own way.

Rowa?? The family was one of the largest and most influential nobles in the North, and unlike the others, the Rois?? The family has gone through several periods with the exception of the recently destroyed Kingdom of Bosnia.

This makes Rova?? The family had a reputation in the north that no other family could match, and when news of the fall of the kingdom and the death of the king and his heir reached the north, and as people realized that it was difficult or even hopeful to regain their original land, many began to consider whether a new king should be re-established.

There are many people who think this way, from the new nobility to the old nobility, and the one who has the most hope of carrying the crown of Northern Bosnia, Rhova?? is one of them.

Especially the current generation of Roy?? Noy Roy of the family became a hero to many because he was active in the army of Archduke Stefan??, and became a hero in the hearts of many people.

Archduke Stefan of Moldova is obviously a legendary figure, under his leadership Moldova has defeated the Ottoman invasions again and again, and just one year ago, Archduke Stefan was unusually brave and clever in diplomacy between the Ottomans and the Poles, and finally forced the Polish king to abolish the vassal treaties imposed on Moldova.

Noy Roy?? It was during the period when Stefan was at war with the Ottomans that he began to make his mark in the army of workers.

From the beginning, he was only a powerful mercenary general under the Grand Duke, and later he was appreciated by the Grand Duke and became one of his important assistants. He has proved his ability again and again with victories.

And after later becoming the main right and left hand of the Grand Duke, Noy Rois?? He even tried to organize his Bosnian fellow countrymen and build a strong army in Northern Bosnia that has always been as strong as the black army in Hungary in the early years.

It's just that this idea is obviously unrealistic, and the Ottomans ruled Bosnia much more harshly and cruelly.

Although the idea of creating a unified Northern Bosnian armed group did not materialize, but the Rhova?? is undoubtedly even more prestigious, so much so that many people think that if Bosnia really needs a new king, then Noi Rowa?? Definitely the hottest pick.

Rowa?? The family owns a large territory in the north, and in the precarious territory of Brcko on the way to Zagreb, there is a magnificent and imposing castle.

The castle was built about 100 years ago in Rois?? The house began to be built, and it was not until Noi Rois?? grandfather's generation, the castle was actually built.

This castle in the typical Eastern Roman style looks solid and reliable, and the thick castle façade is also called the Red Fort because it is made of reddish-brown stone, which is characteristic of the region.

Rowa?? The castle is Roy?? A symbol of all the family's power, glory and wealth, it was for this reason that when the castle was built, it was rumored that a crown was erected on a cross for ten days on the top of the tallest tower of the Red Keep.

This legend makes Roy?? The people of the family suffered a lot, at least during the period before the fall of the Bosnian kingdom, the kings always paid attention to Ruva?? The movement of the home.

But now the legend has become a harbinger of the fulfillment of a prophecy, and whenever someone mentions the legendary vision, people always say in a tone of sudden realization: "So that's it, so it's like Rois?? It's really possible to have a king in the family. ”

Rowa?? No one knows if someone was able to be king before, but Noi Rois?? I really have this opportunity.

Especially when he had recently led an army of less than 2,000 men to attack an important port town established by the Ottomans on the north bank of the Naussava River, causing the Ottomans to delay the Ottoman offensive against the Northern Bosnian alliance of nobles in the near future. 's prestige has risen to a higher level.

The distance from the Naousava River to the Red Fort is a bit far, and it passes through the territories of more than six or seven nobles, so every time Rois?? When he was preparing to attack the Ottomans with his army, he would go out for a long time and then return to his own territory until he was almost overwhelmed.

The result of this is that although Rois?? may have been exhausted by the time they passed through other people's territory, but no one would take the opportunity to trouble him at that time, because if he did, he might be accused of colluding with the Ottomans by an adversary.

And those nobles are also because of Rois?? The army was exhausted after a long and fierce battle, and he did not have to worry that he might take the opportunity to eat.

But this time Rova?? But he had just been out for less than half a month and unexpectedly returned to the Red Fort early, but perhaps to appease those nervous neighbors, Noy Roy?? He had only brought a small number of guards, and by the time he returned home, the Red Keep had already gathered a large number of nobles.

The largest number of these people were some of the most influential local elites in Northern Bosnia, as well as some parish priests.

Others were aristocrats from the south, most of whom came to the north with huge fortunes and a large number of retinues, and although they had lost their territory and power, perhaps because of this, these southern nobles tended to value decency.

They always wore their best clothes, and if they had the opportunity to attend several different gatherings, they would find that these southern nobles never wore the same dress to two different banquets, and even clothes of the same color and style would be avoided as much as possible.

Noy Roy?? He is just over 40 years old this year, and compared to many people who have begun to age at this age, his body is not only healthy, but also much stronger.

So although he immediately returned to the Red Fort after receiving the news, he was still in good spirits.

When Noi Roy?? As he hurriedly entered the courtyard of the castle with his guards through the gates of the Red Keep, he saw several young men using wooden swords to cut icicles hanging from the eaves.

Rowa?? I didn't rush in, but stood aside and watched interestingly, and saw that those people either cut at all because of the slippery hand, or because they didn't have the strength to go down with a sword, the icicles collapsed like a collapsed house, Rowa?? I couldn't help but smile and shake my head.

"Marquis, are you laughing at us?" A young man laughed when he saw him standing next to him, and ??, turned his wooden sword and handed it the hilt, "I have heard that you are the greatest warrior in the north, and perhaps you can show you how good you are." ”

The slightly defiant words of the young man caused Rova?? The guards behind were dissatisfied, and someone stepped forward slightly, but was Luwa?? Raise your hand to stop.

Rowa?? He took the wooden sword handed over by the young man, weighed it slightly, and then held it in the air with both hands and slashed it a few times.

"Young people, weapons don't have to be just strength." Rowa?? As he spoke, the sword shook in a circle in his hand, and as his wrist shook faster and faster, the sword in his hand also brought a louder and louder wind.

And then, just as he said this, Rois?? Suddenly, his body twisted, and as his arm swept hard, in a whistling wind, the wooden sword cut through the cold air and slashed hard against an inverted icicle.

"Kala!"

The icicle made a crisp sound, but it did not break into a pile like the previous chopping, but fell straight to the ground with the sweep of the wooden sword, and then the sharp corner of the ice pick poked into the snow, and broke into several sections with a "pop~".

The young men looked at Roa in amazement??, they didn't really know what was so special about this, but they couldn't help but look at the icicles that had been cut off and broken into several pieces.

"A knight ought to know what his sword would do when it was swung, and your father was barely satisfied with that, but sometimes he liked to use brute force as much as you did, and the result was the destruction of all good things."

Rowa?? As he spoke, he threw back the wooden sword, and then ignored the young man who was behind him and couldn't help but argue loudly for his father, and led his men into the castle.

The Red Keep inherited the style of Eastern Rome, but it was a little colder in the castle, with a row of semi-circular windows allowing the wind to run through the corridors, and even a whistling sound that sounded a little oozing.

But before he could enter the open door, a wave of hot air was already coming in front of him from afar, and if you looked closely, you could see the heat spilling from the room.

The main hall of the Red Keep is a large square, and you have to walk down several steps to enter the main hall that has collapsed downward.

In the center of the floor of the spacious main hall, a large fire is burning, and the wood is burning with a clumping sound of "crackling" as the firewood is burning.

When Rowa?? As he walked into the main hall, he saw a group of people drinking and chatting, who apparently didn't mind if the owner of the house was at home, and when someone saw him, they raised their glasses to the owner of the castle.

"Bless our generous host, brave knight and honorable Marquis of Brcchiko, and wish him eternal health."

A sturdy middle-aged man shouted in a loud voice, and a chorus of echoes immediately rang out all around.

"I wish you a long and healthy life," Rois?? He took the glass from the servant and drank it dry, then walked towards the stout man, "Your son has just been provoking me outside, and he clearly thinks he has a chance to become the heir to the throne of Bosnia. ”

"Oh, you shouldn't blame him, but you should blame him, for I am a branch of the Kosternic family of the Bosnian royal family." The middle-aged man first replied disapprovingly, and then lowered his voice and said, "If you can support me to become king, I will give you the Banja Luka that you have been longing for, which is much easier than fighting for the crown yourself." ”

Rowa?? They looked at each other with some amusement, although it seemed that they did have a certain claim as a distant relative of the Bosnian royal family, but in today's North Bosnia, such a claim has actually become meaningless.

"What makes you think that I should give up my efforts and support you, knowing that as long as I get the crown, Banja Luka is just a reward."

The middle-aged man didn't have to worry about Rova?? Instead he smiled.

This did cause Rois?? He thought he knew the man in front of him very well, greedy, rough and easy to get angry, this was a man with a terrible temper and morals.

But now his appearance makes Roy?? There is an illusion that I am watching a good show.

"Noi, if it was before, of course I wouldn't have said such stupid things, but now it's different, you know, there's a person who is a big trouble for us."

"Who are you talking about?"

Rowa?? He was a little curious, a little curious, after all, this "side branch of the Kosternich family" had never said such a thing so far, which was obviously a little short of breath.

"A mysterious Greek princess, you know?"

"You mean the girl who is said to be a descendant of the Roman Empire?" Rowa?? Kind of funny asked, "What does she have to do with us?" ”

"Of course it is," the middle-aged man smiled strangely, and then he stepped aside slightly to reveal a person walking behind him, "Let me introduce you, Duke of Gerais, the emissary of Princess Alexandra Sofia Vallaiolo." ”
