Since the collapse of the old Roman Empire, parts of the Western empire have also collapsed in the barbarian invasion, and the Holy Church, which has always claimed to be the true successor of Rome and the apostle of Isaiah, has had to torn between the powerful Charlemagne Empire and the new Roman Empire, which was not yet in decline. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Holy See has been waiting, waiting for its own opportunity.

Finally, in the conquest of the nations, the apostles of the Holy Church witnessed the end of the powerful Carolingian era, the decline of the power of the new Roman Empire in southern Italy, and the Crescent Empire that emerged from the distant desert and the attack of the Norman pirates in the north, but in the end, relying on the strong faith, even if Rome never fell, the papal crown still did not collapse.

This is the mighty Holy See, which has been withholding for a long time, and after the burial of New Rome, it no longer has to hide its ambitions. The new kingdom of God will reign above all worldly kings!

But even Rome's ambitious cardinals had to admit that they could not reproduce the glory of the old Roman era. This is an indisputable fact, the original terrifying empire stretched its powerful military power into the snowy forests of the north, the wasteland hills of the east, and the vast desert of the south. Even the Carolingian Charlemagne Empire had only restored much of the western part of the empire.

However, this does not mean that the ambitions of the Holy See will end in this way, the power concentrated by theology is only a loose alliance after all, and the Holy Church will never give up its military superiority, this is their bottom line, and they will never give up the expansion of power in any case.

And this time, the Poles' pleas for help gave them exactly that opportunity. You must know that this was a place that was not controlled by the old Rome, and the Holy See naturally would not let it go in order to strengthen its influence.

"I didn't expect such a thing to happen in Poland." The man in the black robe of the priest sneered slightly at the moment he stepped on Polish soil, and behind him was a group of people who were also wearing the robes of the priesthood, but the aura of murder emanating from their bodies was extremely terrifying.

"Is this what Stein is talking about?" The man suddenly turned his head and asked the men behind him.

"Yes, Lord Lepida." Not far away, they could see a small town, and that, according to Stein, was where they connected.

"It's really a place where birds don't, how could this kind of place let the cardinal let us come here." Looking at the town in front of him, someone said disdainfully. This is natural, in comparison, after the baptism of the new era, the whole West has been revised, not so much the Holy See is built on sword and fire as on iron and coal, in comparison, Poland is still in the old era, even places like Poznan and Warsaw are not comparable to those places in Lombardy and Naples, which naturally makes the people in these Inquisition look like poor country.

"Now is not the time to talk about these things, you might as well put your mind on the right thing if you have this kung fu dislike." Lebida scolded, and his subordinates immediately lowered their heads.

You must know that at the beginning of Constantinople, the people of the Inquisition led by him suffered a crushing defeat, especially when the [Cretan Fire Bull] and Consitine Dante drove the elite mecha of the new Roman Empire to cause great damage, he was implicated and was degraded by the Holy See, so he came to the north to take office, this time he will not allow mistakes. The man's cold gaze flickered, and suddenly everyone's hearts tightened. They knew Lepida's identity, and although he was relegated to the North to continue his position, as a high-ranking executive in the Eastern Inquisition, he was capable enough to make many people fearful. There is no doubt about the dangers in the land of the East. Even in peacetime years ago, those executives were on the front lines of Jerusalem fighting the Crescents to the death, and no matter what, they were the terrifying Grim Reaper.

"Yes, we see, Lord Lepida!" The executives who hurriedly bowed their heads did not dare to defend at all, although they were very dissatisfied with coming to Poland, they also knew that they had to make compromises.

This time, I heard that there was an ancient mecha in Warsaw, and although I didn't pay attention to the Novgorod Grand Duke, the existence of that kind of taboo still made people have to guard against it.

"This operation must only succeed and not fail, otherwise, your life will only end up with failure-" Lepida swept his subordinates with a terrifying gaze, and for a moment no one dared to speak again.

Unlike these executives, Lepida had a prominent family background in Rome and an ambition that could not be defeated, and of course his eyes could not stop there. He must return to Rome and defeat his secret enemies. The defeat at Constantinople would have been completely abandoned by the Holy See if it had not been for the assistance of Theodosius of the Cardinal. Now he must not make any mistakes, he can imagine that this operation is not only a test for his family, but also an opportunity for his political enemies to attack him, and it all depends on him.

"After getting ready to enter the city, set off immediately after a short rest, and don't waste a little time!" Lebida shouted.

"Understood!" And those executives also responded solemnly!

……

At the same time, in the small town of Minea, the sheriff of the town was unaware that a huge force was approaching him. Although the town is not prosperous at all, it is extremely geographically valuable.

Mineja was an important part of the southern part of the Kingdom of Poland leading to Warsaw, and its development was tepid simply because of the lack of commercial prosperity, but this did not allow it to go unnoticed, especially during the period of tension in Warsaw.

This time, however, it was a headache for Milukovic, who is a sheriff.

"Tsk - did General Kulak leave his post without permission? What the hell is this? The ugly man looked at the edict conveyed above, and there was also the seal of Queen Radwija on it, which meant that this order could not be disobeyed.

Sealing borders...... Is it?

Milukovich, who looked solemn, couldn't help but want to sigh and muttered, "General Kurak, what do you want to do?" After all these years, don't you still want to give up? This kingdom is no longer the kingdom it used to be! As a former student of General Kurak, Milukovich naturally knew what General Kulak wanted to do when he disappeared, and nine times out of ten, he wanted to try to challenge the authority of the princes, but in Milukovich's opinion, this was simply impossible.

It was a miracle that Poland was able to unite from a loose alliance, but it was impossible for either Jadwiga or Jadwiga's father to shake the aristocratic foundations and reclaim power. He couldn't understand what his teacher's purpose was.

General Kurak's prestige has always been resounding throughout Poland, when this man followed the previous kings to fight, the north against the Prussians, the south repelled the Magyar invasion, even in the face of the aggressiveness of the Holy Roman Empire, he was still standing, General Kulak was also qualified enough to be a prince, but he flatly refused and focused on the royal family.

At the beginning, the princes wanted to depose Yadwiga completely, but it was the existence of General Kulak that forced them to abandon this idea and adopt the method of marriage, and encircled Kulak, but even so, General Kulak still did not waver, while he firmly supported Yadwija and his influence in the army grew. Even General Kurak once raised an army against the princes, although the balance of strength was too great and failed, but it made the princes extremely fearful.

Originally, General Kurak pinned all his hopes on Yadwija, but the cruel life finally gave him a fatal blow.

His Majesty Yadwija's body is getting worse day by day, and the aristocratic forces that were originally suppressed are once again rising. As a result, all the forces that supported the royal family were suppressed like never before, even General Kurak, and the power in his hands was greatly limited.

"Why are you doing this, Queen Adewiga has this ability, but she doesn't have much time after all!" I only heard Milukovich sigh, but then a vicissitudes of life suddenly sounded in Milukovic's heart, stirring up a wave of Poland.

"That's my responsibility, and since I chose to do that, I'm not qualified to say anything more. There was no way back, the only thing I could do was to atone for my sins. ”

Is that...... The voice of General Kurak!

Milukovic heard the owner of the voice, but he wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.

How could General Kurak be here?!

The startled sheriff stood up abruptly, looking around with a wary look. He subconsciously put his hand on the edge of the drawer, where there was a short gun for self-defense. Although it has been a while since he left the army, Milukovic still retains the same kind of gaze as he did at the beginning, like a tiger!

"Milukovic, long time no see!"

The voice sounded again, and this time there was no doubt that Milukovic was sure that it was the voice of his mentor. But he couldn't understand how it could be!

The curtains in front of him were lifted, and out came an old man in tattered clothes, like a beggar, the only difference was those eyes, those deep eyes.

And he is none other than General Kurak!

"Kurak...... General" Milukovich looked at the mentor in front of him with mixed feelings, although the relationship between the other party and the only one he saw was not very close, but the other party was the one who led him in after all, which he could never forget.

"It's been years, Milukovic!" General Kurak straightened his originally rickety back, looked at the man in front of him, although his stomach came out and his hair was gone, but he could still remember what the other party looked like when he was young, General Kurak was old, but he still remembered everyone in his life clearly.

"Teacher!" Milukovic lowered his head and changed his name, the suppression of the royalists at that time was not very close to the relationship between this man and General Kurak, and of course his own official position was not one of the reasons.

"Teacher...... You called me that when you first called me, it was about eleven years ago! General Kurak recalls the past when he was at war against the princes, and it was at that time that Milukovich joined his own army. There were many protégés of General Kurak, and Milukovic was one of them.

"So you remember, teacher!" Milukovich had a look of surprise on his face and a hint of joy hidden at the same time, he did not expect that General Kulak would still be able to remember him, he had thought that he had long been forgotten. But it happened that General Kurak was fighting with the princes, and although he was on the rise, soon after, Milukovich was transferred, and General Kurak and the princes ended the war, as if he had been completely forgotten, and no one cared. Originally, General Kulak had also gained power for a time, and many of his protégés had also taken advantage of this to become local lords, but he didn't have himself.

If it is impossible to say that there is no resentment, after all, he had no merit and hard work for General Kurak at that time, but he couldn't wait for news, so he naturally wouldn't take the initiative to ask for merit and reward.

At that time, he also thought that the other party had forgotten the time, but the other party in front of him clearly remembered him, but what was he asking......

As if seeing the other party's doubts, General Kurak asked calmly, "After all these years, have you never understood why I haven't reused you, have you?" ”

In the face of General Kurak's question, Milukovich nodded, of course he was puzzled, you must know that there were many people who were promoted by General Kulak at that time, looking at the number of people who were liquidated by the princes in the past two years, it can be seen, although sometimes Milukovich will secretly rejoice, but then he is really deeply unwilling, he can't accept such a thing, looking at the nobles who betrayed General Kurak, Milukovich thinks that he can do better.

"Yes, I can't understand why you're doing this?"

"That's because it's protecting you." General Kurak said lightly, "Although it is a little unfair, but you, as my secret chess, have allowed me to survive in a desperate situation now, and this is enough." ”

The old man's faint words made Milukovic a little unable to understand the amount of information for a while.

"What are you talking about?"

"I mean, that's protecting you. I will hide you, but I will only do it because my character and ability are recognized by me. General Kurak's voice suddenly raised, and Milukovich's eyes widened. (To be continued.) )
