Chapter 328: Hesitation
The only people left in the mansion were Dr. Fabre and the remaining guards, who had been waiting, and Constance Dante had not been here for long, but the oppressive atmosphere had made everyone's mood heavy, and the Poles had not relaxed their surveillance on them all this time. In this atmosphere www.biquge.info the anger has become more and more difficult to hide.
At this time, the Poles did not even mean to hide it, and the army they had arranged had been outside this mansion for a long time, so that the current Novgorodians even had some doubts about whether it was Constance, Dante had encountered some accidents, otherwise why would they be so rampant!
People who are growing angrier in their hearts can't do anything about it now.
It was not that the Novgorod guards were afraid of its great power, and their blood would not be intimidated by a mere Poland, but it was Consdante's instructions before his departure that really made them patient.
Constantine told them that they must not act rashly until they returned, and it was because of this that they were able to hold back their resentment, and in fact their loyalty to Constantine was greater than the Poles expected.
Due to various reasons, although Constituency Dante emphasized that he would not try to seize power in Novgorod after coming to power, the nobles of Novgorod have always been very suspicious of a Conscientine Dante who is both a foreigner and a foreigner. However, even then, most of the nobles of the time were secretly restricting the power of Constance Dante. Whether it was the nobles who supported Constance Dante or opposed Constance Dante, they naturally wanted to suppress Constance Dante at all costs because they feared that Constance Dante would become the second Alexander.
And the most important point is military power.
Novgorod was a ruined city after the departure of Alexander Neusky, and Novgorod owed a large amount of money to the other principalities due to the Battle of the Glacial Lake and had to open up all the technology it had. But when Alexander left, he took with him most of the institute's materials and researchers, and the parliamentarians were surprised to find that the Novgorod in their possession was an empty shelf. The strength of the army was already vulnerable, and the only thing that remained was a small number of citizen soldiers and a part of the army that Bersches had brought with him, but it was a drop in the bucket for Novgorod. Therefore, the most important thing at the beginning of Consition's rise to power was to form an army. The nobles had to admit that, on the one hand, they did not want Consdé's hand to reach the army, but on the other hand, they could only rely on Constance Dante to organize the military force centrally. As a result, Consité Dante eventually had a strong army. Together with the means and will of Berhis, Novgorod established a standing army and a military-industrial system that made it impossible for the nobles to touch at all.
This led to a large-scale coup d'état more than a year earlier that had been brewed by the dissatisfaction of the conservative aristocracy, which was suppressed by force by Berhis, but also made Constance Dante understand that the contradictions between himself and the noble council must be eased. Thus Constance, Dante and Berhis, on the one hand, reduced the size of the noble council, and on the other hand, they also relinquished their powers, especially the army, and the standing army was transferred to the parliament. But this does not mean that Constance Dante has completely lost his military power, as the elite of the elite, the Duke's Guard has been retained, guarding Cons, Dante's safety, and making the nobles jealous.
On this visit to Warsaw, Constance Dante brought with him the proud guards, these peasant children recruited from the countryside did not have the atmosphere of a city dweller, and they were devout Orthodox Christians, so they were naturally absolutely loyal to Cons. Dante and had a strong fighting spirit.
However, at this time, Dr. Fabre also looked solemn, although he didn't know anything about government affairs, and he only stayed for the illness of Bonifazia and Constance Dante, but now that the group has no leader, he can also feel a strong sense of crisis.
Time passed so fast that even the inhabitants of Warsaw knew that the mansion was inaccessible, for the simple reason that it was always heavily armed and armed, and although it was not known what was going on, it was conceivable of the danger there.
"Is there any movement?" One person asked.
"No, did the marshal let us do it?" The person who answered seemed eager to try.
"What are you anxious about? Since the Marshal only asked us to keep an eye on us, don't act rashly. The other party said impatiently.
"But our people are now only ten meters away from them, and unless they are blind or stupid, they will not be able to detect it. This...... Is it still surveillance? A wry smile was given, but the Poles continued to monitor Novgorod's every move as instructed from above.
It's like ...... Deliberately - provoke the other party!
In this way, the tense atmosphere continued into the evening, and the Poles continued to watch, but Novgorod's nerves were finally relaxed. Because Cons Dante is back!
From a distance, the Novgorodians could see the lights of the locomotive approaching.
And the people in the car were none other than Cons, Dante, and the others who followed him to the banquet, and seeing that the Grand Duke was able to return safely, everyone's originally hanging hearts could finally be relaxed. The Poles did not do Constantine as they feared, on the contrary, when Constituente arrived, the Poles who were still watching the mansion also retreated silently.
And Consdante's cold gaze faintly swept over the place where the Polish army was originally lurking, and then walked into the mansion. It seems that Marshal Mauser is indeed not to be underestimated. Is it to deliberately provoke his subordinates to make them tell the truth?
But if that's all there is to it, then in the eyes of Consité Dante, the old fellow is nothing more than that. And to be one of the pinnacle of power in Poland, Constance Dante believes that he is by no means an idle person. Even those rude princes, although a little uncontrollable, but in fact their cunning and cunning were by no means worse than Marshal Mauser.
Constance Dante can guarantee that the other party must have other means, but what are their means, he must take precautions as soon as possible!
"Finally, be careful of Jagieil, but also remember that he is not your main enemy."
Constance Dante remembered what Jadwiga had said, and although he didn't fully understand the game of several forces in the land of Poland, Jadwigga was undoubtedly reminding himself that Jagiew's power seemed to be available. But I'm afraid that man will not be so willing to be used!
"Uncle Cons, Dante?" On the side, Bonifazia was following Constance Dante, and he looked at the other man's pensive expression and seemed to ask with some solemnity and worry. Although the girl is very mature, the current situation is too complicated for a child.
"It's fine." Constance Dante came to his senses, only to smile faintly and shake his head.
But the complicated light in his eyes flashed, and he became more and more confused whether he should bring Bonifazia here. Until now, Constance Dante has concealed from Bonifazia about the seriousness of her mother's condition. At this time, Bonifazia was just a child, and he didn't want those to interfere with her.
After speaking, Constance Dante led everyone into the mansion, and his majestic gaze swept out of the mansion, which immediately made the Poles who were still paying attention to it tremble.
Many of them had been on the battlefield, and because of this, they could feel the horror in Conseidante's eyes even more.
"Really, as His Excellency the Marshal said, what a terrible character." The Poles, realizing this, did not delay any longer and soon disappeared into the darkness.
But in another place, another group of people were still watching Constance, Dante's mansion.
"Is this the Grand Duke of Novgorod?" The man sneered slightly and whispered to himself, while the black-robed executors behind him followed him with their heads bowed, this was the person from the Inquisition of the West!!
"I've been looking for you for a long time! His Excellency Stein. Korosław hurried over, and he thought that the other party should appear here in such a swagger. After a little hesitation, I only heard him say: "I'm afraid they will find out here, so it's better for us to ......."
"What if you are discovered? How much of a storm can a mere Rus' prince make. The man said coldly, this is not arrogance, but self-confidence with strength. Maybe Constance Dante's elite soldiers can make him frightened, and the appearance of the terrifying ancient mecha can make him frightened, but that is only Stein alone, no matter how strong Constance Dante's strength is, he is just a person, and he can't resist the foundation of the Holy See after all.
Since the establishment of the Holy See hundreds of years ago, it has gone from weak to strong, and now it is no one person who can compete with it, not even a single country.
In Stein's eyes, Constance Dante was already a dead man. Of course, he still needs to wait before that, after all, Poland's strength is not enough to destroy Consdain, but he will not escape God's punishment after all.
"That's nature." Korosław bowed his head obediently, he did not have the slightest doubt, the power of the Holy See everyone knows, the fall of the new Roman Empire fourteen years ago has proven everything.
"What are you doing here? Stein raised his eyebrows and asked, he looked at the other party condescendingly, and did not take this man in his eyes at all, after all, even kings in the Western countries were also terrified of the Inquisition. Their territory among the nations can even decide whether a person lives or dies at will.
"Marshal Mauser asked me to come." Krosław said respectfully, although he was dissatisfied, he did not dare to show it at all, he was a small person after all, not enough to shake the other party.
"He, what did he tell you to do?"
"Today's battle, the envoy should have seen it. Constance Dante must be released, otherwise he will become a serious danger to his henchmen, and Marshal Mauser asks you to act immediately to get rid of Cons. Dante. Krosław conveyed Marshal Mauser's meaning to the man, but Stein couldn't help frowning.
"In such a hurry?"
"Yes, it's best to do it in the next day or two, although the other party is very strong, but with our help, the envoy will definitely be able to wipe out Constance Dante here." After much consideration, although Marshal Mauser was very calm, he finally realized that Constance Dante must not be eliminated, not because his power is too strong, but because of the relationship between him and Yadwiga!
If it's just Consité's strength, it's not a concern, after all, Consitine Dante is just a remote duke, unless the power of the entire Rus is integrated, it is impossible to pose any threat to Poland, but what is fatal is that this man and Jadwigga seem to have reached a tacit understanding.
And this tacit understanding can also be guessed, that is, to make Bonifazia the king of Poland.
This meant that Consei-Dante would inevitably clash with their princes, in which case Cons-Dante would have to be exterminated anyway, otherwise everything would be difficult to control.
Therefore, Marshal Mauser did not hesitate to use the power of the Inquisition, and also showed a willingness to obey like the Holy See.
But contrary to Krosław's judgment, Stein shook his head and refused.
"No, at least not yet!"
"Envoy...... This is-" Looking at the other party's reaction, Krosław looked at the other party in puzzlement, Consitine Dante's possession of the ancient mecha was enough to make him qualified to be hunted down by the Holy See, but at this moment this man actually refused.
"That's your business." Stein's cold voice revealed a sense of pride, he did not take little Poland in his eyes at all, the task of the Holy See was important, and he did not have to pay a huge price for it.
"You-" The stunned Krosław didn't expect this to be the case.
Before waiting for the other party to react, the man also made his own explanation: "I didn't mean that I would let him go, but now is not the time to make a move, I have already notified people to come here, and when the time comes, I can deal with that kid with absolute strength to be foolproof." And before that, you have to wait four or five days, and I don't want to pay too much price and end up just as a tool for you to kill people with a knife. ”
Seeing that the other party was like this, Krosław gritted his teeth and said, "Your Excellency, what if we are willing to pay a great price?" "Marshal Mauser said that if it is late, it will change, and if you delay time and miss the opportunity, it will not be good, and the variables of four or five days are too great for them to wait.
"Your things can't buy the lives of my men, and in the Inquisition, the only thing to rely on is strength, and I won't do anything that is worth the cost. Either you act on your own or you wait! Stein said unceremoniously, leaving Korosław speechless. (To be continued.) )
