But Constance Dante still maintained a smile on his face: "Of course, I know that if you are willful and reckless at this time, Jiutai will be childish." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoSince it's a superior person, of course, there must be a deep city. "This is a reason that Cons-Dante has understood a long time ago, he is not only a machine that drives a mecha to kill, but also a commander who commands thousands of troops to conquer cities, the most basic qualities are essential, and they are far from enough, political intrigue is sometimes more dangerous than war.

As a knight king, Constance Dante naturally will not be distracted by this.

Seeing Constance Dante's calm appearance, it seemed that he was mentally prepared, and Narsis immediately nodded and said, "In that case, then I will tell His Highness everything I know." "He doesn't know much about the Western Frontier, but if he doesn't tell Consdante now, I'm afraid the knight-king will be very suspicious of their sincerity.

"Very good then." Consitine Dante looked at Narsis in front of him and nodded, but behind him, the young man was secretly clenching his fists and was not as indifferent as he had said.

After all, it was those people, and it was impossible for Cons Dante to completely ignore their safety. When Uncle Nikita met with an accident, he can still recall the painful pain.

Although it has been said that as a superior person should not be as willful as a child, in fact, Constance Dante himself is such a willful existence. Otherwise, how could Constance Dante stay here?

……

To the southwest outside the city of Trabizon, the valley had been deserted, and because of the previous war, it was even more inaccessible, and no one expected that an army of steel would be dormant and ready to strike a fatal blow here.

"Now, how's it going?" Dandoro walked over and asked, there were still uneaten military biscuits in his hand, and he didn't have any special treatment like his subordinates, and he directly survived the long new army by compressing food, and slept in the open along the way. However, it is precisely for this reason that this young man was able to become the flag bearer of the Holy See without any dissatisfaction, and the Swiss Guard, who was known for his bravery, was even more loyal to him.

"The four highnesses sent a telegram not long ago, the target has been completely eliminated, it is completely secret, there is no negligence, please rest assured." The respectful subordinates hurriedly reported to Dandoro, not daring to slack off in the slightest. Since the advent of Cons-Dante, the coalition forces that knew they could not defeat parted ways. The Nicaeans fled west from the Western Frontier to withdraw to their homeland, while the Venetians decided to retreat to the south. However, as everyone knows, now the Holy See has secretly spread a big net and is waiting for them to come. It is undoubtedly ironic that these people would never have imagined that they did not die at the hands of their enemies but at the guns of their own allies. However, the Holy See was indifferent to this. The perennial war has made communication very difficult on the battlefield of Anatolia, and they can annihilate the coalition forces in one fell swoop without leaking the news, after all, they already know some terrible things, and they are no longer useful as cannon fodder.

"I'm not asking those, if they can't even do that, wouldn't it be foolish for the cardinal to hand over the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse to them? I'm asking when they'll be in place. I don't want to delay things here for too long. Dandoro said coldly, and that sharp gaze was not only terrifying.

"Yes, the four Highnesses will be in place soon, and there should be no problem." The startled subordinate hurriedly replied.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse comes from the book of Revelation, when the end day comes, the four horsemen representing war, famine, pestilence and death will bring the end to come. In addition to the Swiss Guards on the surface, the Holy Church is as mysterious as a shadow is the Inquisitor Force under the command of the [Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse]. With strong armor and firepower, it can be said that this time the Holy See has decided to do whatever it takes.

"Should it? Hmph, that's a hassle! Originally, I could have done it alone. Dandoro shook his head helplessly. But even if he is the flag bearer, sometimes he cannot monopolize everything, after all, the cardinal has much more power, and he must obey no matter what. The assault on Trebizond must have been launched by the Papal Guard in conjunction with the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Although in his heart, Dandoro actually wants to defeat Constance Dante and defeat the knight king on his own. He didn't want to live in the shadow of the other party.

"Your Excellency, please be uneasy, there is still an order that the cardinal will give you alone. Please take a look at it. The signal soldier in charge of receiving and receiving telegrams said cautiously, after all, the temper of His Excellency the flag bearer has always been elusive.

"Cardinal's order, ...... at this time??" The distance is so far, if the Holy See wants to deliver the news, I am afraid that it will need to go through many transit stations and consume a lot of manpower and material resources! What is it that is so important?

Taking the telegram sent by his subordinates, Dandoro's gaze gently scanned the lines of text on it, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Constantinople? The cardinal actually cared about it again, and after the fall of New Rome, was there anything else worth caring about there? The man couldn't help but muttered to himself, not that he despised an ancient capital that had lasted for thousands of years, but that the kingdom of New Brad, which now sits in the city that never falls, was too weak. Dandoro, of course, did not understand why the archbishops of the cardinal had set their sights on the city that had already fallen.

"Is there something important?" At this time, a middle-aged man came to Dandoro's side, who was none other than his deputy, Andrea.

"Oh, it's you." Dandoro reacted slightly just now, shook his head, handed the message to his trusted deputy, and said, "You see, Cardinal actually gave such a strange order. It's not important, but in the wording it seems to be very harsh in the words of the archbishops! ”

"Coup d'état?" Andrea frowned and lifted her glasses on the bridge of her nose, feeling that the order seemed a little confusing.

"Well, it seems that the Holy See has run out of patience with Baldwin's man." Dandoro could only speculate.

"Is it just because he's trying to develop a fourth-generation mecha?" Andrea thought for a moment, the fourth-generation aircraft is indeed the bottom line of the Holy See, since the Crusades, the power shown by the New Brad Kingdom has proved that they have four-generation aircraft, although the number is not much, but at least they have the most basic system. This is indeed a taboo for the cardinal, but it seems a little too impulsive to secretly pull King Baldwin from the throne just by this willingness. Once the news is exposed, the shock to the Western countries will not be a matter of the slightest.

"Oh, looks like you have your own opinion, don't you?" Dandoro asked indifferently, he and the man in front of him could be said to be both teachers and friends, so he didn't care at all about the other party talking about some taboo topics with him.

"I have heard that His Majesty Baldwin seems to want to marry a young woman." Andrea saw that his forehead commander acquiesced, so he boldly expressed his speculation.

"It doesn't seem surprising that a king who has been in widowhood for many years continues to play strings, does it?" Dandoro glanced at his subordinates, and his expression was very calm. This in itself is a trivial matter, and it is normal for the big men in Rome to have several mistresses, so what is it?

"Of course, it is a normal thing to continue the string, after all, even among the archbishops of the cardinal, which one is not...... The point is that His Majesty has not done so for more than a decade, and it is a bit surprising that the news is so abrupt now. But the more important thing is that the young woman seems to be inextricably linked to the royal family of the New Roman Empire. ”

"The royalty of New Rome?" It's not that Dandoro doesn't know about these things, the rumors have spread before, but he doesn't know exactly how. "What is he trying to do? Is it to become the second emperor of the new Rome? ”

At this time, Dandoro had a sarcastic sneer on his face, and it was none other than these reasons for doing such a thing. The king in Constantinople, although nominally the monarch of the New Bullard Kingdom, was actually not as powerful as a duke, the main reason was the dominance of the local princes, and the original New Rome region was constantly in rebellion, if the king's wife had the blood of the New Roman royal family, it would undoubtedly be beneficial to Baldwin's rule.

However, in Dandoro's eyes, this approach is completely an act of seeking death. "Compared to Earl Pierce, his brother is really a stupid man!"

"I can't say that completely, it's just that the ambition is too much beyond his power." Andrea smiled and replied that the New Roman Empire had always been a threat to the Holy See, and that Baldwin wanted to do that in itself a very ridiculous thing.

"Isn't that real stupidity?" Dandoro sneered slightly, and at this time, the cold mountain wind blew, and the man looked at the faint city of Trabizon in the distance, "Just like the people here, they have no idea that pursuing ambitions that do not conform to strength is like holding a candle in the headwind, and in the end they just play with fire and set themselves on fire." ”

……

And thousands of miles away in Constantinople, the kingdom of Novobullard did not know that a storm would descend on Trebizond.

The mansion of the first princess, where Ann Lost, as the future heir of the kingdom, lived.

But now, Constantinople has changed dramatically four years ago.

Since that great battle, one-third of the city has been destroyed by fierce mecha battles, and the once prosperous city is now depressed and cold.

"Her Royal Highness."

It's only been four years, and the originally radiant girl looks haggard and abnormal, but there is a soft beauty all over her body.

"I'm fine." Ann Lotte said lightly, there was no unhappiness, but everyone knew the bitterness in the girl's heart. At this time, except for Christine and Diana, who were still by her side, her former friends were no longer by her side. Still, Ann Rosst was very happy to see them. After all, in just four years, so much has happened, and even she herself didn't expect that to happen.

"Your Highness, your father ......" Although Diana saw the shadow in Ann Lost's heart, she decided to persuade Her Royal Highness in front of her.

"Don't worry, I don't take it personally. Father, he may have his own reasons. The smile on Ann Lost's face was so far-fetched, but she was still smiling.

"But, Your Highness, please understand. You're really ...... doing it."

"Naive, isn't it?" Ann Lotte's clear eyes were filled with deep exhaustion, and since the catastrophe four years earlier, the conflict between the Rustines and the Herod in Constantinople had grown. The massacre in Findel completely broke the nobility with the commoners, and the Rastines simply suppressed the revolt in the city by controlling rations.

But Ann Loste understood that this was just a way to quench her thirst, and that the suppressed revolt would sooner or later become as unstoppable as a flash flood.

"But what can I do? If this continues, the kingdom will eventually be nothing more than a cage. "Ann Lost's eyes are completely pessimistic, the kingdom of New Bullard is ostensibly using troops externally, but in fact it is extremely weak internally. Sooner or later, the country will collapse. But there was nothing she could do, and she couldn't help but think back to what the man had said to her four years earlier.

Could it be that the peaceful world she wants to pursue is just a flash in the pan?

The contradictions between Herod's commoners and the Rastin nobles have become more and more serious, while Ann Roester, who has always been a dove, can only watch the situation get worse and worse. Not long ago, the kingdom of New Brad had suppressed a riot in the lower city, which was nothing short of a massacre, and the tragedy was caused by the fact that for a month, the kingdom did not have rations, and many people could not stand the hunger.

"I want to help them, but I'm one of the killers." Ann Lotte muttered to herself, she herself is a vested interest, and when she enjoys these lives, isn't she standing on the bones of those innocents?

"Please don't say that, Your Highness, there's nothing wrong with you." On the side, Christine looked at Ann Lotte worriedly, there were so many things happening, she and Diana were afraid that she would not be able to bear it and have a nervous breakdown. In the past four years, the army led by Esher gradually gained the upper hand, and the hawkish strategy had completed its victory, but Baldwin, as the king, seemed to be a different person, ignoring it, and also repeatedly reprimanded Ann Lotter, who sought peace, so that there were no nobles in the court to support the princess anymore. Even Christine and Diana have been by Ann Lost's side under pressure from their own families.

"As a princess, the heir of this kingdom, if I have no responsibility, who can bear it?" Ann Rosette shook her head and replied that what her father had done had left her completely hopeless.

"It's all that slut!" Although Diana is the daughter of a nobleman, in fact, as a military nobleman, her family background is not so good, and she is directly a nouveau riche, so she doesn't care that her conversation is not in line with the identity of a lady.

"Diana......" Christine, who was startled by the other party, immediately realized what she was going to say and wanted to stop.

But Ann Roste calmly looked at the angry Diana and said, "That is the path she chose for herself, and I don't want to blame her too much, after all, Sophia was also my friend." ”

"However, sooner or later, Your Majesty's favor for her will ruin the kingdom." Diana was indignant, since they met two years ago, King Baldwin, who had always been known for his coldness, actually gave Sophia's woman the title of Duchess of Constantinople, and did not care about anyone's objections, and now there are rumors that Baldwin intends to canonize this child who is less than twenty years old as the queen of the kingdom. In vain, the princess of Anroester took her in regardless of the danger, but the other party was so kind and avenged. And now most of the kingdom's decisions are made by that woman, so that Angel Lostt is completely untrusted by Baldwin.

But hearing Diana's words, Ann Roste didn't seem to have any reaction, just said lightly: "Perhaps, but since that day she has ceased to be my friend." (To be continued.) )
