Chapter 113: The Fall of Eastern Rome (13)

Huge win! A victory that is enough to boast in front of anyone!

A total of 100,000 elite heretic armies collapsed under the attack of Catholics, more than 30,000 were killed on the spot, and more than 30,000 were killed and captured on the way to collapse, and nearly 70,000 heretics were wiped out in the first battle of Naples, and their own casualties were less than 15,000, which was an unimaginable victory.

After such a victory, the last of the Alliance's fears about King Randy disappeared completely.

There is no vanity under the fame, and the coalition forces are oblivious to shouting out the title of Messiah.

Randy excitedly beckons to the soldier and loudly announces:

"This is the result of our joint efforts, we will share the great victory and glory together, and I will continue to lead you to more and greater victories!"

The cheers became louder, like thunder, and even the Neapolitan defenders more than a dozen kilometers away could hear them.

At the sound of such a loud noise, the already frightened Eastern Roman defenders trembled, and some even believed that the other side wanted to attack the city despite the darkness of the night.

As a result, there was chaos, and there were even quite a few Eastern Roman soldiers who trampled on each other in the confusion and then died.

After receiving the news, Narciss's heart became even heavier, and he couldn't think of a way to boost morale at all, if he continued like this, when the enemy officially attacked the city, the Eastern Roman soldiers would not be able to make a decent resistance at all, and Naples would be breached.

"If you really can't do it, take a boat to Sicily! I'll talk about that at that time. "Narcisse finally made such a decision.

At the same time, the vast majority of the allied soldiers in the coalition camp had returned to the camp, because of this victory, their lords and kings had become extraordinarily generous, plus the extravagant food provided by a large number of northern Italian merchants who had come with the army to advance with the army.

Vasks of liquor, chunks of bacon, chunks of buckwheat bread, and all sorts of game, smoked sausages, soldiers laughing and drinking and munching, and some bards and jugglers blowing, dancing, singing, and pretending to be ghosts with so-called crystal balls.

There were also some gypsy girls who were taken to secluded corners by more than a plurality of soldiers, and some of the soldiers with bad personalities also pulled out the prisoners of war they had captured, and insulted, beaten,*, and the whole coalition army showed a morbid, abnormal bustle.

The nobles and knights were treated better, just the right wine, meat, and beautiful women who had been taken from the neighborhood, and some of the nobles who drank too much went crazy and beat each other with wine bottles, and the companions who also drank too much next to them did not stop them, but just let their attendants quietly steal the brawler's long sword so that no one would die.

"Such iniquity...... God! Please forgive these people. ”

Joan of Arc, who was in the limelight in the daytime battle, couldn't stand it for a long time, but with her identity, no matter how much persuasion she had, she could only hide in her tent and pray, out of sight and out of mind.

"Can such an army really represent the divine God? Or will God also bless such an army? Or God Himself...... What exactly was I thinking? ”

Although it was only a little bit, after seeing this scene, Joan of Arc's heart was inevitably shaken by her faith in God.

Unlike civilian soldiers!

More different from the aristocracy!

The commander of the coalition army, in the largest and most luxurious tents, enjoyed the best treatment, the best wine, and the best food, and a large number of candles made of beeswax, which were carefully placed by the servants on huge candlesticks made of gold, and the tents were lit as if they were daylight, although this could easily cause a fire, but it seemed that everyone present did not care about it.

As the commander of this coalition, Randy is naturally highly sought after, whether it is a priest or a nobleman, they all rush to pat him on the back, comparing him to Alexander the Great and Charlemagne, saying that his wisdom surpasses Solomon, he receives God's favor more than Moses, and even has some suspicion of blasphemy!

Randy was also toasted the most times, all kinds of delicious wines, honey wine, were served in gem-intudded, beautifully carved gold wine glasses, through the hands of nobles to Randy's hands, every time Randy drank this glass, the crowd would burst into a series of cheers!

He's the main character! It's the star of the day! It is the most conspicuous existence in the entire Catholic Church today, although other monarchs are also sought after to varying degrees, but for their highest evaluation, they will add a sentence intentionally or unintentionally: second only to His Majesty Randy!

In other words, Randy is irreplaceable and unique.

Randy was also extremely excited, not because of the flattery of these people.

Looking at the Guards Knights around him, the Thousand Men Commanders, the Royal Knights Squadron Leader, these Randy's true henchmen and descendants, they would never say such flattering words, because they knew that they could share Randy's honor by themselves.

There are two reasons why Randy is really excited......

One: the legendary Eastern Roman Empire is just like that, if the previous battle in Bologna was won because of the opponent's light enemy, coupled with the numerical superiority of their own coalition forces, then this battle fully proves that the Eastern Roman Empire army is nothing remarkable, even a group of coalition forces composed of several countries, even without a unified language and writing, can completely defeat them!

In fact, Randy completely ignored at this time, and there were a large number of heroes with special skills in the coalition.

King Philip II of France, Charles Duke of Burgundy, Joan of Arc, and Randy herself.

It adds up to a total of four stunts, and the opponent is only Narciss.

But as long as you can achieve the final victory, you don't have to worry about the rest.

The next day, although Randy drank a lot of wine, it was all very low alcohol wine, so the time of soberness was usually about the same, the quality of life during the march was very poor, there was no girl in the gothic loli maid costume, helping Randy dress up carefully, Randy spent more than an hour to make himself barely human, and then he heard the herald report that the Greeks had sent a messenger to ask for a meeting.

When Randy arrived, the other monarchs who hadn't slept well were late, and when Randy asked, he realized that the envoy meant a temporary truce to allow both sides to gather the corpses on the battlefield.

Randy thought for a moment and agreed to the messenger's proposal, not because he felt sorry for the Greeks, but because if the corpses were left there to stink, it was easy for the plague to break out or something, and the medical system was very backward these days, and the death toll caused by the outbreak of the plague was no different from that of war.

When Randy was fighting in the north, and in the cold weather and the help of the Timberwolves, Randy could not care about these things, in Italy with a warm Mediterranean climate, he couldn't ignore these things, even if the Greeks themselves didn't bring up this kind of thing, Randy would send people to clean up the battlefield.

After Randy agreed to the Greeks' conditions, the Greek envoy was obviously relieved and wanted to say a few words, but seeing Randy's appearance of smiling but not smiling, the cool words were swallowed back into his stomach, and after a silent salute to Randy, he left in a hurry.

"A delaying tactic?"

After the messenger left, Philip II, who was sitting in the chair next to Randy, frowned and asked.

"It's a delaying tactic, but it's not those guys' thing." Randy chuckled and winked, and several of the Guard Knights behind him immediately stepped out of the tent and looked around.

"Guys, please take a look at this!"

Randy took out a papyrus letter from his bosom, Philip II took it, but the text on the letter was Danish, and he couldn't help but frown and return it to Randy, asking, "What is written on it?" ”

"This is a secret letter from Harold, the leader of the Varangian mercenaries, to surrender to us, and three days later, on the night of the city, open the east gate and let the coalition troops enter the city."

"I see!"

The others nodded, showing an expression of not being surprised, after all, the mercenary profession is synonymous with capriciousness, betrayal, having milk is a mother, etc., and the Varangians see that the situation is not good, so they want to abandon the Greeks and change to another employer, this kind of behavior is a common thing in the mercenary industry, especially in the Italian Civil War, a large number of undisciplined mercenaries, and even can do the best thing of accepting commissions from two companies at the same time and sitting on the ground before the war.

Among the crowd, only Duke Charlie, who has a large number of mercenaries under his command, is slightly embarrassed, but embarrassment is embarrassing, and it is absolutely impossible for him to say good things to mercenaries.

"When did this come to your majesty's hands? I don't doubt your judgment, Your Majesty, but I'm just a little curious! Philip II asked.

"It was last night, after I went back, when Sister Joan of Arc was praying, someone sent by the other party found me, but it was late at that time, so I didn't disturb everyone's rest." Randy replied.

"I see, then there is no problem!"

Philip II smiled and didn't speak, because Randy's words vaguely revealed a very important piece of information, that is, the whereabouts of his few Assassins who had not returned.

Last night, after the others had eaten and gone to bed, Philip II was repeatedly awakened by nightmares.

Philip II was surprised to find that hating a person could produce so much power, and Philip II also found that if he did not kill Joan of Arc, it would never be possible to sleep peacefully in the future.

All nightmares have only one content......

It was the damned shrine maiden who broke into his palace, took his crown and put it on her head, kicking him off his throne.

Philip II resisted with all his might, but none of them were opponents, and he wanted to ask for help, only to find that all his courtiers, all the French guards, all the French people, were cheering for the witch, and no one was willing to help him at all.

Just when Philip II was confused and helpless, the picture turned again.

Philip II found himself bound in the upper half of his body, completely unable to move, and upon closer inspection, he realized that he was being chained to a guillotine, with a sharp decapitator hanging above his head.

"Ah!!!!!h

Philip II was so frightened that he screamed, and when he woke up, he was sweating profusely, but fortunately, there were many soldiers and nobles who were still noisy outside, and Philip II's shouting was not abrupt and did not cause a bad effect, but he still startled the guards guarding outside, thinking that there were assassins, and immediately rushed in and saw that Philip II was fine, and then he was relieved.

The frightened Philip II could not wait any longer, not even for a second.

Immediately find a few Assassins and ask them to assassinate Joan of Arc.

So, the Assassins tragedy......

It's not that Joan of Arc did what about them, Joan of Arc easily cooked these miscellaneous fish with her bare hands, but after being a nun, her temper was much better, and she tried not to do anything to kill people, and only taught these assassins a lesson, and then let them go.

But Randy happened to be there at the time......

Randy chuckled and asked Joan of Arc if he could hand over the Assassins to him.

Because Joan of Arc was so quick that she didn't even know that the assassins were here to assassinate her, she mistakenly thought that these people were here to assassinate Randy, so she agreed to Randy's request.

Then came Norman's most famous method of torture to extract confessions, in which the Assassins obediently betrayed their masters in exchange for euthanasia.

Hearing this information, they were sent by King Philip II of France to assassinate Joan of Arc, and Randy was also slightly stunned, he himself thought that these assassins had come to kill him!

Randy thought for a moment, and didn't tell Joan of Arc about this, but just explained to Nemulis and asked him to secretly send a few more elite assassins to protect Joan of Arc.

After that, Randy vaguely pointed out this matter just now, and his tone was not without threat, wanting to force Philip II to give up assassinating Joan of Arc, and at least give him a warning not to act rashly.

Randy's statement is very secretive, not to mention that other people can't understand it, even Philip II mutters a little, how does he know that I did this? Or is it just speculation?

In any case, Philip II decided to restrain himself for the time being, and at the same time knew that with Randy protecting Joan of Arc, coupled with Joan of Arc's own skills, a few second-rate assassins would never be able to do anything.

"Then what we're going to do is wait here for three days." Cardinal Hilde, representative of the Papal States, asked.

Randy nodded: "Just experienced a big battle, the soldiers must be extremely tired, rest for a few days, and then try to contact the Varangians, if they can really fulfill the agreement, it is naturally good, if they can't fulfill the agreement, it doesn't matter, we will directly force the siege." ”

Everyone had no opinion after hearing this, but it was not a way to stay like this and do nothing, Duke Charles yelled that he was going to hunt in the forest next to him, and the others, except for the cardinal, who was a civilian and was not very good to participate in the sport, and Randy was temporarily unwell, everyone else also responded with a bang, and each pulled a large number of guards and knights to go to the forest to abuse wild animals.
