Gompati's sudden appearance in the city of Pisa caused a small sensation.

Gompati's impressive performance in the previous Pisa offensive and defensive battles attracted a lot of attention, but just when some people thought that he might become Pisa's upstart, Gompati suddenly left Pisa and joined Montina's army.

Now that Gompati is suddenly back in Pisa, and just as Caesar is about to leave Pisa, this naturally raises some speculation.

Caesar had quietly left Pisa, and there were not many people to see him off, but it was only when Lucrezia appeared that Caesar seemed to become a lot more excited.

Lucrezia's mood was complicated, and she didn't know how to face Caesar.

Especially when she made her own decision to stay, she even felt a sense of guilt that seemed to have betrayed someone.

But in the end, when she stood in front of Caesar, she thought for a long time and suddenly found that her original nervous mood was inexplicably relaxed.

"I love Alexander, so I'm going to stay, right next to my man and daughter." Lucrezia finally relaxed when she said this, she exhaled, her shoulders drooped slightly, and then she looked at Caesar with clear eyes.

"Bless me, Caesar, for my happiness."

These were the last words Caesar heard from Lucrezia before leaving, and then she gently kissed Caesar on the cheek, turned away in his trance, and walked towards Alexander.

Caesar's figure gradually disappeared into the distance, and looking at his already blurred back, Alexander couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

Although he knew Caesar from his knowledge, he would never give up so well, but Alexander knew that, at least with Lucrezia, Caesar had been completely defeated.

"And one more," Alexander said, looking into the city of Pisa, noticing a busy army not far away.

When Tomneo saw Alexander, he couldn't help but feel a hint of bitterness in his mouth.

When he heard that the Pope had ordered Caesar to send an envoy to France, Tomneo felt as if he had been punched in the chest by a strong man.

The indescribable resentment and grievances made Tomneo want to shout at everyone, but he didn't know what to shout.

Caesar did not look forward to the support of the Pope, but was sent to France by his father in a very strange way, in order to cover up the considerable blow to his prestige due to successive defeats, and it can also be seen that the Pope did not want to break with Alexander, at least until now, for various reasons.

So in order to appease his son, and to let Alexander see his attitude towards this matter, Alexander VI decided to let Caesar leave Rome temporarily, or to avoid the apparently escalating conflict with Alexander.

Such a decision came as a surprise to many, and also gave a glimpse of Alexander's surprising power.

Clearly, the young man now had the weight to take his emotions into account even for the Pope.

Tomneo felt a terrible torment from hope to despair, and his disillusionment with God's favor was shattered so quickly that he drank the bitter water of defeat before he could taste the fruits of joy.

Looking at Tomneo, who was sitting in the middle with a stiff face, Alexander glanced at the nobles of the Pisa Council standing opposite, who were looking at Tomneo with strange eyes, as if waiting for him to make a decision, or simply waiting to see what he would do.

"You want me to give up power?" Tomneo looked at the nobles, he knew that these were Alexander's "minions", some of whom had been to him since the overthrow of the Republic, some of whom had been at the helm of the situation after seeing that the situation was clearly not good, and a few of them made Tomneo angry, because they had previously responded to his kindness.

But now these people seemed to have completely forgotten the sympathy they had vaguely expressed for his situation, and instead bared their fangs at him like hungry wolves along with the others.

"Your Highness, according to the decree issued by His Majesty the Pope, it has been officially confirmed that Miss Estelles has sufficient power and reason to be the rightful heir of Pisa, and that the Count of Montina is the father and guardian of Miss Estles, and we know that in this case the Count has every right to defend the rights and interests of Miss Estelles, especially when Pisa suffers damage, and as a father, the Count has the right to exercise the powers of the Duke of Pisa in place of Estelles, who is not yet able to govern alone."

A council nobleman announced to Tomneo in a cold tone, unconcerned about his hideous look.

In fact, when Alexander asked them, they knew that this was actually a signal from Alexander.

Whether to be on his side or on Tomneo's side, Alexander gave them a choice.

And unsurprisingly, these people made what they thought was the right choice.

"You planned it all, didn't you?" Tomneo turned his head a little stiffly, looked at Alexander who was standing on the other side and asked, in fact, his words were more accusations than questions, and when he stared at Alexander, there was only anger and humiliation in his bloodshot eyes.

"You know very well that this is only a corollary," Alexander said in a low voice, "Pisa is important to me, maybe you don't see it yet, but it doesn't matter, I need you to give up the rule of Pisa, and everything you have done before has proved to be unkind to me, so don't expect me to feel any guilt for this." ”

"So you're usurping the power that belongs to me?!"

"It's not your power, pizza has never belonged to you, you know that as well as I do."

The fat on Tomno's cheeks twitched suddenly, and he stood up like a beast that had been hit by the vital point, and at that moment his body seemed to be suddenly filled with power that did not belong to him, and when the person next to him just let out an exclamation because of the accident, Tomneo had already pounced on Alexander!

Tomneo, who was curling his fingers and making scratching gestures, frantically grabbed Alexander's throat with his two hands, and his eyes were filled with anger that seemed to be going to die with everything, and that terrible look proved that he had completely lost his last sanity by this time.

Tomneo's hands were close to Alexander's throat, and he let out a low roar that was completely desperate for the man in front of him, and his hatred for the man in front of him made him forget what would happen if he did so.

A stout figure suddenly rushed from the side, and Tomneo felt as if he had been hit by a giant horse, and leaned to the side and flew out.

Tomneo's body knocked over a chair, then rolled twice on the floor before stopping, and when he looked up, one saw that Tomneo, who had been well-dressed before, was covered in blood, and the blood that bubbled out of a large slash on his lip stained the clothes on his chest.

"Sir, please calm down," said the captain of the city defense, who had only a few strands of gray hair, rubbing his aching shoulders and saying to Tomneo, "this makes you look a little ridiculous." ”

"Traitors, you are all traitors," Tomneo, with blood on his lips, said in a vague business, "all of you will go to hell, I promise you all will be punished, this is not my prophecy, I am just an insignificant believer in God, this is the retribution you deserve as a traitor, no one can go unpunished after betraying his monarch." ”

Tomneo's voice couldn't be heard clearly, and the voice couldn't help but echo in the hall, which made the faces of the people around him change slightly when they looked at him.

The fear of God is deeply rooted in the hearts of people in this era, and even though the Vatican, as the Holy See, has become a model of depravity, the majesty of God has always deeply affected everyone's heart.

Kingship is granted by God, and those who rebel are like rebelling against God.

Although countless betrayals throughout history have proven again and again how ridiculous this statement is, people still can't help but be secretly terrified when they hear such a curse.

"You're wrong."

Alexander calmly looked at Tomneo, who was struggling to get up from the ground.

"This is not a betrayal, because my daughter is the rightful heir to Pisa, and your actions have proved that you have lost your sanity as the ruler of Pisa, so I can suspect that you are no longer fit to handle the government, and that you have tried to overthrow Estelles as heir, which has made you guilty of breaking your previous vows. A dishonest monarch has no right to claim God's protection. ”

"No, I don't, I just want to continue to rule, maybe I want to have a child to inherit the title, but is that wrong, your daughter can only rule Pisa in place of the Tomnio family when I have no offspring."

"But you shouldn't have found those people and made them speak against me."

Tomneo immediately looked uneasily at the nobles who had shown him some kind of intention before, and when he saw the cold eyes they cast at him, Tomneo's eyes suddenly widened as if he understood something.

"Trap, you are a trap!"

Tomneo shouted, then fell silent.

His eyes became gloomy for a moment, and his gaze swept over everyone in front of him, as if to write down those faces, and then his gaze finally fell on Alexander's face.

"Do you want the dominion of Pisa," Tomneo said in a stiff tone, "if you can agree to my terms, I can give you Pisa now, but I want you to keep my family safe." And," his gaze swept over the nobles, and seeing their uneasy looks at his gaze, Tomneo sneered with a vengeance, "I want you to publicly expel these men and their families, and declare them to be unforgiven forever." ”

The faces of several nobles changed instantly, first glaring at Tomneo, and then looking at Alexander nervously.

And the others also looked at Alexander.

No one doubted that he would object to this proposal, and a few nobles who were originally wall-to-wall were too insignificant compared to the right to rule in Pisa.

There is even a vague excitement in the eyes of some people, with the alternation of power between the old and new rulers, the redistribution of benefits will be the inevitable result, and at this time it is natural that the fewer opponents, the better.

Alexander clearly felt the different expressions of his gaze as he looked around, and the anxiety and excitement in it seemed so clear.

Under everyone's nervous gaze, Alexander slowly turned in place, and looked at everyone calmly before he looked at Tomneo.

"Duke, probably you misunderstood what I meant, I don't want you to give up the right to rule in Pisa, but only for the sake of the good of the city of Pisa, you are still the Duke of Pisa, and until my daughter legally inherits, your position cannot be questioned and inviolable."

The corners of Tomneo's swollen mouth trembled, and he stared at the young man in front of him with hateful eyes.

By this time, he had fully understood Alexander's purpose, and it was clear that Alexander wanted him to be a puppet with no real power.

If a deposed king can use his dignity as his last shield, then a puppet has only endless humiliation.

Tomneo looked at Alexander, the wound on his lip had stopped bleeding by this time, but his eyes were like wounded beasts staring at the enemy who had dealt him the fatal blow.

"A puppet?" Tomneo had a smile on his face that was worse than crying.

"A puppet of noble status." Alexander looked indifferent.

Although Tomneo's situation seemed pitiful, he should have known from the moment he decided to accept Alexander's suggestion to extend his hand to the Duke of Pisa's laurel that from the moment he took this step, whatever happened would have to be borne by him.

"Tell me, why did you choose me in the first place?" Tomneo finally couldn't help but ask, "Just because I'm from Tomneo's family, can I be a stepping stone for you to take pizza?" ”

Alexander shook his head, he walked slowly past Tomneo, stopped in front of the duke's throne, took a serious look at the golden chair in front of him, and then turned to look at Tomneo, who was staring at his back.

"It's desire," said Alexander slowly, "I see desire in your eyes, and I can see that you are not willing to be just an insignificant member of the Pisan Council, and you hate the unreasonableness and contempt of others, so I have decided to help you." ”

Speaking of help, Alexander smiled, he certainly knew that it seemed a bit ironic to say so now.

"In fact, you did not disappoint me, and your subsequent actions proved that I was right, you became the consul of Pisa, but that did not satisfy you, and then you showed your thirst for power, and all I did was to make your pace faster."

"Faster, faster, you pushed me to a throne that I had always longed for but knew I would never be able to ascend to, and then pulled me down mercilessly," Tomneo muttered to himself, his eyes straight forward, past Alexander, and then slowly turned and sat down, "I am the ruler of Pisa, the Duke of Pisa, this is a God-given power for me, as long as I am alive, then no one can overthrow my position!" ”

Tomneo's voice grew louder and louder, and by the time he was yelling.

His eyes were fierce at Alexander, and as he was about to continue speaking, suddenly, a loud roar filled his ears!

Almost as the roar was still echoing in people's ears, and before everyone could wake up from the sudden loud noise, a man strode into the hall.

Gompati's gaze swept among the people, and then he quickly walked up to Alexander: "My lord, allow me to report to you that the combined forces of Montina and Pisa are ready to obey your orders at any time!" ”

Hearing this, everyone's expressions instantly changed.

The nobles looked excited.

Tomneo was utterly desperate.

Only Alexander, reminiscing about the cannon that seemed to be ringing in his ears non-stop, was secretly relieved.

Thankfully, though he was sure, he had to transfer the defensive-minded Gompati from Montina just in case.

Fortunately, in the end, Alexander VI made concessions to him for the sake of the first priority of an alliance with the French.

Otherwise, before the French arrived, he would have to take on the Papal army first.
