As an agent of the Sultan's accomplishment, Sackler was arrogant.

Although there are many so-called tolerant and just conquerors in history, in fact, no conqueror will really see the people of the land they conquered equally, otherwise it will lose the purpose and meaning of the conquest.

Although the Sultan's army was eventually blocked by the Naussava River and could not fully occupy the land, the greedy and short-sighted attitude of the nobles of the city of Siye made Sackler despise it.

However, he and his predecessors are still very careful to deal with these Bosnians here, because they know that the Bosnians, although they are not smart enough, are definitely not easy to deal with.

From the aristocracy to the commoners, the ferocity of the Bosnians was what Mehmed II had personally demonstrated, especially the sometimes seemingly harmless Bosnian peasants, who, when provoked, burst into extraordinary fighting power.

Therefore, when he rushed to the city gate with his people, and saw from a distance that although the two sides had stopped, they had already caused casualties in a short period of time, Sackler was not angry, but showed a subtle smile on his face.

The casualties were on both sides, the city guards and the "mercenaries" were damaged, although the number of people guarding the city gate on the city guard's side was small, because it was to occupy the city wall, it would not have caused much damage, but in fact they took the initiative to attack, so after being hit by a burst of muskets three or four people, they were able to rush in front of each other.

The losses of the musketeers were not small, one was killed on the spot, and two were wounded of varying severity.

The "mercenaries" obviously did not expect these Bosnians to actually attack, so they only sent a few musketeers to monitor from afar, but did not send more spearmen, and as "mercenaries", these musketeers used old arquebuses from Drana, instead of the flintlock pistols that had now been reequipped in Montina's army, so the musketeers who were rushed in front of the enemy after only one round of fire had time to shoot had to rely on their swords to engage the city defenders.

Fortunately, they were not far from the edge of the camp, and the "mercenaries" who rushed over immediately when they saw that the situation was not right saved their companions in time, but even so, the result of one death and two injuries in a short period of time completely angered the Montina soldiers who were pretending to be mercenaries.

With the sound of the order, the Montina army has been accustomed to the formation, the few musketeers quickly advanced to the front of the queue a few steps forward, they are skillful and nimble to load ammunition, at the same time someone has pulled the dead and wounded companions back into the formation, with the order of the leading soldiers, although the body is tattered and completely lost the demeanor of the Montina army, but with the momentum of oppression began to approach the city gate.

The leader of the city defense army was also injured in the previous short clashes, and when he saw the menacing appearance of those "mercenaries" in the distance, the leader endured the pain and ordered to guard the city gate while sending people to the city to report the news.

When Sackler led the men to the gate of the city with Gompati and several men, he saw that a large group of nobles of the city of Siye and the soldiers they led had surrounded the mercenaries.

Sackler, who already had a rough idea of what was going on, was a little surprised and a little happy, he didn't expect these new mercenaries to be so fierce and fight directly with the difficult Bosnians, but this made him suspicious of these people a lot, and he was happy to see such a scene.

To Sackler's surprise, the mercenaries were trained and not the usual rabble, and they didn't seem to be easy to mess with, at least even when surrounded, they were still fearless and even formed in a somewhat odd-looking formation to confront the nobles of Siye City.

A mercenary who looked quite strong, and who had clashed with the locals from the beginning, Sackler felt that he was really lucky, or that he should be grateful for the gift of the true gods, as if this army had been specially prepared for him.

Although he had the status and power of half a master in the city of Siye, because he was not a governor after all, Sackler could not use many troops except for his own bodyguards.

The nobles of Siye seemed to be obedient, but Sackler could neither nor dare to trust them, for he knew that the slightest negligence would result in a severed neck.

But the mines in Siye were so important that while the successive Sacklers were trying their best to deal with the local nobles and various forces to ensure that they could supply the Ottomans with enough ore, they were also trying to get their hands on an army of their own.

It's just that although the nobles of Siye hooked up with him, none of them were willing to stand up and show that they were completely following his orders, let alone surrendering their own army.

Now Sackler seems to see hope in these mercenaries who suddenly appeared, not only do these mercenaries seem to be very capable of fighting, but the key is that these people are not Bosnians, which makes Sackler not have too many scruples, not to mention that now they have clashed with the nobles of Siye, which is enough to ensure that this mercenary team will not be bought by the Bosnians.

As for the price of hiring these mercenaries, Sackler was not worried at all.

The abundance of minerals in Siye City is enough to support a mercenary, and even if they have no money, they can directly use ore as a reward, as long as these mercenaries have a vision, they will find that it may be more cost-effective to use ore as a reward, perhaps than pure gold.

Sackler thought so, and ordered his men to release Gompati, he needed this man to control the mercenaries who were obviously on the verge of anger, and he still knew about the mercenaries' loose discipline and bad behavior, and he had no doubt that these people would take the opportunity to sack the entire city of Siye.

Gompati cautiously walked through the open space where the two sides were facing each other, and the nobles of Siye were staring at him with angry eyes, and although he believed that these people would not give him a shot from behind, he still tried to slow down and appear calm, trying to avoid the already tense tension between the two sides from becoming worse.

"Should we kill it?" The team leader first asked Gompati this, and then lowered his voice and said a little anxiously, "Where is the lord now, if he doesn't come to save us, it may be bad this time." ”

"I suppose he must be nearby," Gompati looked at his men as he looked into the gray rolling hills in the distance, and he bet that Alexander should be among the hills, but he would certainly not be able to see him, "but don't expect him to come to us, he has fewer people with him than we do now, and we are already on the verge of success, and we can't give up halfway." ”

"But maybe the next moment we'll have our heads moved," said a somewhat nervous soldier from the side, "these damn Bosnians killed one of us."

"I've heard," said Gompati with some annoyance, although his side did not suffer in this conflict, and seemed to have taken advantage of it, but now that he heard that his men had been killed, Gompati could not help but be angry, "Let's give them some color." ”

With a long command, the "mercenaries" quickly unfurled, and the musketeers retreated into the middle of the group, entering the gap between the spears and the sword and shield soldiers, and then gradually closing in formation began to approach the Siye nobles with the largest number of people in front of them.

"What are you doing?!" Sackler unexpectedly looked at the mercenaries who were not retreating and disbanding, but were approaching, and he angrily walked out of the crowd and shouted to Gompati who was standing in front of the team, "Why don't you let them put away their weapons?" ”

"My people were killed!" Gompati shouted loudly, and then asked little Cacho next to him to shout to the other side on his behalf, "Look, that poor boy was hacked to death, that child followed me out of Pisa and has survived many battles until now, but he lost his life in this place, and two other people were wounded, you should know what it means for a mercenary to be injured, I have to avenge my people." ”

"What an idiot." Seckler muttered, but he wasn't so angry.

Because both sides were in Bosnian, although Cacho Jr. spoke upside down, the Siye nobles still understood.

But this immediately angered the Siya, who approached in a crowd carrying bloodied, lifeless-looking corpses, all the while shouting curses at the mercenaries.

"They said we killed three of them and seriously wounded one," Cacho Jr. pouted slightly, "and they blamed our men for shooting first, but they themselves admitted that it seemed to be their men who provoked first." ”

"Then we have taken advantage?" Gompati's anger in his heart was a little smaller, but he knew that he must not back down at this time, on the contrary, he must behave reasonably, otherwise they will be passive next.

"It seems like that, but we can say that it is self-defense, after all, the other side shows hostility first, and if one side shows hostility when the scouts meet, it means fighting." Little Cacho first said this with certainty, and then nodded in an accentuated tone, "That's it, hostility means declaring war." ”

Gompati slapped the scout on the shoulder, then took two steps forward and began to shout loudly at the other side.

Questioning, yelling, and even swearing erupted between the two sides, and Sackler did not say anything except at the beginning.

He just stood aside and silently watched what was happening in front of him, his expressionless face calm and almost rigid.

Unbeknownst to Sackler, however, behind the bushes on the distant slopes, there were also people watching the scene as he did.

"My lord, what do we do now?" One of his men asked, looking at Alexander in the distance.

"It shouldn't be anything to do with us," Alexander shook his head, his expression was a little strange, and there was a look of relief or helplessness on his face, "but I didn't expect the Bosnians to be so strong, it seems that our plans need to be changed." ”

Ivo Drana's days were a little restless, or rather his life had not been so comfortable since the Count of Montina came.

It didn't matter to Drana, whether the Sultan wanted to annex all of Bosnia, or whether Archduke Karl of Caniola wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to annex the Northern Territories.

All Dranah wanted was to hold on to his territory and the mines.

It's not very easy in Bosnia.

So Dranah has always been cautious, but luckily for him, his territory and mines have been safe so far.

Dranagh thought that life would go on like this, but he didn't expect the appearance of a stranger to disrupt his life.

From the initial jealousy to the more provoking thoughts, Dranah felt that the Count of Montina was like the snake that tempted Eve to eat the forbidden fruit.

It would be a bit too much to say that it was a snake, and Dranagh couldn't help but admit that the young man was just revealing the thoughts that had been hidden in his heart.

However, Draena knew very well that the man could not help him for free, and in that case he would have to pay enough to get what he wanted.

He ordered that the refugees be allowed to enter his territory, and at the same time sent a message that he was willing to accept more refugees

At a time when other nobles were locking off their territories to refugees, Drana's actions clearly caught the attention of many people.

Dranagh had been prepared for this, so his excuses were sufficient.

According to him, new ore veins have been discovered in his territory, and in order to find out the direction of the entire ore vein as soon as possible, he needs a large number of people to prospect for him.

This reason is the envy of many people, but it is understandable why Dranah did not hesitate to let refugees into his territory.

After all, taking in some refugees is nothing compared to a mineral vein. 、

Especially now that the Ottomans are coming soon, and despite Bayezid II's reputation for tolerance, there is no guarantee that the sultan's ministers will not do anything to curry favor with the sultan.

In fact, the Ottoman sultans did not have a very good reputation for doing business, sometimes they would tear up contracts with others out of greed, and sometimes they would simply swallow up something they liked, especially when doing business with Europeans, and this kind of untrustworthy often caused great suffering to those who did business with them. In addition to the Sultan himself, his ministers were even more greedy.

So many people think that Drana's purpose in his eagerness to find out the vein was to determine how valuable the mine was before the Ottomans arrived.

After all, the Sultan's ministers had traded a sheepskin for a shipload of goods from someone else, on the grounds that the man had not been able to find his own ship in the sails of the Golden Horn.

Whatever the reason, Dranagh's permission to allow refugees to enter the territory somewhat caught the attention of Sackler of Siye City, but because of the trouble he had just encountered, Sackler couldn't spare the energy to inquire about what was going on in the territory of a minor nobleman.

The clash between the mercenaries and the city guards of Siye caused resentment among the Siye nobles, which became even worse when they heard that the mercenaries were prepared to hire the Ottomans.

For this reason, Sackler had to maneuver with the nobles, and even made certain promises.

And the reason why he would do this for a mercenary, in addition to the fact that he fell in love with this seemingly strong mercenary team, was that he was in urgent need of manpower.

The Sultan's conquest was certainly a rare opportunity for Sackler, but he also faced a series of problems: the need for war materials made the lords of Constantinople greedy, and Sackler had received repeated urging from the governor of Sarajevo to increase the amount of ore he collected.

Sackler needed someone to help him with this, and what had just happened outside of Siye made him feel that there was no better person to do than the mercenary named Gompati.

If the idea wasn't strong at first, it became very strong when he heard that a rather rich vein of tin ore had been found near the domain of a minor nobleman far from the city of Siere.

"I even made a wish to intercede, and I don't like to do such things, so you should know how to repay me," said Sackler, Gompati, "I need you to collect the supplies for the Sultan's army for me, and send them to Sarajevo, knowing that these are very valuable goods, especially the copper ore, which the Governor has been hoping for as soon as possible." ”

Listening to Sackler's instructions, Gompati's spirits immediately lifted: "Copper ore, that's the material for making cannons. ”

"That's right, so you have to be careful, and you have to know that the Bosnians are bandits." Sackler admonished uneasily.

"Don't worry, I'll get them where they need to go." Gompati's eyes lit up
