Chapter 252: The Temptation of Power

"Are you sure that the two ancient mecha brought by the Holy See before are you ready?" Marshal Mauser looked slightly out of shape, but still remained calm, he looked at Krosław beside him and asked softly, without attracting anyone's attention. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Don't worry, Your Excellency Marshal, everything is ready." From the day he decided to kill Lestek, Korosław had sworn to follow Marshal Mauser to the death. The power of the Habsburgs was clear to all, and since Korosław's hands were stained with the blood of that "noble", he had to bear the wrath of that behemoth.

This family is present in all the Western nations, although they are not like the nobles of the Holy See who hold the lifeblood of the whole West, such as finance, energy, and even the military industrial system. For example, the Medici family of Florence, who controlled the banking system of the entire Levant, and the aristocratic groups of Venice and Genoa, which monopolized the trade routes of the East. Their power is so strong that even the Holy See has to cooperate with them, because their ancient can be compared to the old empire, and that kind of heritage is an important guarantee for the rise of the Holy See, and it is they who support the pivotal opportunity. Unlike the Habsburgs, they were only a little more than a hundred years old, and they were only vassals of the Holy Roman Empire. Their ancestors were merely earls and did not even qualify as electors.

But this century of rise quickly attracted the attention of many people, although the family still could not be compared with the old ones, and even in the eyes of people, they were nothing more than nouveau riche. But the intricacies of the Habsburgs are striking, and the breadth of their marriages and distribution is unmatched by any other family. Most of its fiefdoms were in Austria, as were Bohemia and the Habsburgs separated from Poland, and Lestek's attempt to participate in the election was also an attempt to extend his power into the Far North.

Although Krosław was just an ordinary nobleman, he knew exactly what he was provoking.

Hearing the other party's affirmative reply, Marshal Mauser nodded, he did not expect that Jagieworth was not killed by Constance Dante, which made the situation feel a little out of his control, which he was very unhappy to see. As a last resort, he would not use the ancient mechas, which were provided to Poland by the Holy See twenty years ago, when Jadvedia's father was alive, and it was originally to deal with the threat of another invasion by the Rus, because at that time the whole West was fighting against the expansion of the new Roman Empire, and even the Holy Church found it very difficult. And after that, needless to say, the new Roman Empire collapsed, and the Holy Church completed its hegemony, but these two ancient mecha have not been taken away.

As long as you have the True Cross, you'll be fine! Marshal Mauser regained his composure again, but it was undeniable that he already had doubts about the Bureau, and could two ancient mechs really kill Constance Dante?

……

On the other side, after a brief silence, Constance Dante finally spoke: "I have already let you go once, don't be obsessed." ”

"Haha, do I still have to thank you, your more than ten years of hard work have been in vain. Today is a never-ending day. Jagieworth let out an almost morbid laugh and then a hideous expression. Make your choice now! After all, if you have to sacrifice a group of people, as a knight king, you should be able to make the right choice! ”

Hearing the brazen threat of the other party, Constance Dante clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost sank into the flesh, but he had no choice.

Is this going to be the case again? Constance Dante said to himself, his heart was very uncomfortable, the discomfort was almost like his heart was placed on ice.

I'm sorry, Ekarina! Constance Dante could only say this in his heart, this is the only "reasonable" choice!

"Have you finally decided?" In the distance, Jagieworth said coldly as he looked at the black dragon.

Beside him, Bonifazia was looking at her father in shock, she had never felt that her father was so terrible, and the blood on her white little face had not been wiped clean.

Her lips squirmed slightly, and Bonifazia struggled inwardly, in fear, but she made her choice anyway.

Even though the Novgorodians don't like me, if I just sit idly by, Uncle Cons-Dante will hate me!

"Father, please stop!" Suddenly, the girl broke free and the soldiers pleaded with the Grand Duke of Jagiew.

"Stop?" Hearing his daughter's voice, Grand Duke Jagieworth looked at Bonifazia with a strange expression and asked indifferently, "Why stop?" ”

"Uncle Cons, Dante, he's not a bad guy! He's just protecting me. Bonifazia herself felt that her reasons were very weak, and Jagieworth laughed even more when she heard her daughter's answer.

The man bared his teeth in defeat, looked at Bonifazia and said, "Bernia, you really don't look like your mother at all!" That kid was already playing with me when you were your age. And you're still so innocent! I can't even believe that you are my child, and of course it could be the reason why your mother protected you so well, or maybe you haven't been exposed to real power yet. Haven't gotten 'bad' yet! But even so, now you are not qualified to plead with me! ”

Looking at her father in front of her, Bonifazia actually felt a sense of fear, she didn't expect her father to be so indifferent to her. Indeed, from before to now, Grand Duke Jagieworth did not look at Bonifazia.

Gritting her silver teeth, Bonifazia still refused to give up, and suddenly rushed to the edge of the tower.

Immediately, the other Lithuanian soldiers became nervous, although Jagieło and Jadwija had a bad relationship, but Bonifacia was still Jagieło's daughter after all, with the blood of the Grand Duke, and was the only direct relative of Jagieło.

"Father, if you don't let them go, I'll jump!" This little girl actually said amazing things! She leaned against the railing, and the cold wind on the tower in the wind and rain made her shiver and make her little face red.

But Jagieworth didn't seem to care too much, but pointed at Bonifazia with his index finger and whispered, "Are you...... Are you threatening me? ”

"It's just a pleading, Father. I can renounce my inheritance. The girl's face was full of sadness, but Jagieworth remained unmoved.

"Why ...... that?" Of course, Bonifazia could not understand that there was no need for this in her opinion, that the years of separation between her father and mother were just for this illusory throne, and for these reasons, there were too many people who died. She really didn't want to see that anymore.

At this time, an officer quietly walked up behind Grand Duke Jagieworth and said: "Grand Duke, this is your daughter after all, and she is also the heir of the principality......"

However, before he finished speaking, Jagailvo raised his elbow and hit the bridge of the opponent's nose with a broken nose, watching his subordinates fall to the ground and covering their noses, only to hear Jagailo say coldly: "I have said more than once, the issue of inheritance is not something you should care about!" ”

The man's voice was full of murderous intent, and for a while, everyone was silent, that kind of killing intent was not a little bit, they could fully believe that at that moment just now, as long as Jagieworth was willing, the officer was already dead.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The officer, who had broken the bridge of his nose, got up from the ground and, without the slightest resentment, pushed it to the back.

And Bonifazia, who watched this scene, was almost desperate, and her father had no warmth at all. Is this the one in power? Does even the last bit of warmth exist to abandon it?

Bonifazia was frightened, but Jagieworth suddenly stepped forward.

Subconsciously, the girl actually took a few steps back with some fear, but her slender waist touched the railing, and it was already the end. Bonifazia looked behind her, a suffocating sensation that almost made her unsteady on her feet. It was the view under the tower, and Bonifazia realized that she was standing so high. And she just said that if her father did not agree to her plea, she would jump.

"Does that scare you, Bernia?" Grand Duke Jagieworth looked at his daughter indifferently, of course he would not believe that such a simple and timid girl would really jump, and of course he did not care. Of course, by Adewiga's side, Bonifazia sometimes seems a little mature, but under the careful care of Adevica and Constance Dante, she is very vulnerable.

"Father's ......"

"You're really not fit for power." Jagieworth shook his head, interrupting Adevicia's words, and suddenly stepped forward and was already standing in front of Bonifazia. "Do you really understand what it's like to carry it down? Jumping, do you think it's really as simple as just a little pain and it's over? You'll feel like you're in a cloud for a few seconds before you hit the ground, and you're not going to die right away when you hit the ground. It's short, but it's enough to make you feel that pain. The bones of the whole body are broken, and even the ribs are pierced into the organs in the body, and the pain can be said to be heart-rending. Suddenly, the man violently pushed the girl down the railing, so that Bonifazia's head was facing under the tower, and the blood was rushing to her skull, and the fear could not even be described in words. No one would have thought that a father would do this!

No one dared to dissuade him, but he could only watch Jagieworth act so recklessly. Bonifazia could only sob, a position in which she could hardly even breathe.

"No one can protect you now, neither Yadwiga nor Constance Dante, so don't be willful, my patience is not like theirs!" Jagieworth let go of his hand and left his daughter to his subordinates.

"Take her down there and lock her up, I don't want to see her." Jagailworth said, not even looking at his daughter, so he didn't notice that the way his daughter looked at him had completely changed. Now all the attention of Jagieworth is on Constance Dante.

Now, tell me your choice!

He looked at the Novgorodians who were trying to struggle with their mouths gagged by the big flowers, and showed a hideous and terrifying smile.

……

And in the position of the Polish army, the soldiers who were still not free from fear kept aiming their guns at the black dragon, although the people above were negotiating, but only then they could feel more at ease. Otherwise, they can't breathe at all. There was despair and frustration in the air.

But at this moment, the black mecha seemed to flicker in front of their eyes.

Could it be that you are dazzled?

The soldiers who couldn't believe this scene stared at the ancient mecha, and in the next second, the wings that covered the sky and the sun were deployed!

"Oh my God!" Almost everyone was terrified of this happening, they couldn't believe that the other party still started to kill!

"Fire! Fire! "Every Polish soldier was screaming hoarsely, for it was ridiculous to rely on flesh and blood to deal with the existence of such a monster, and the only thing that could be relied on was their heavy artillery. It's just that the cannonballs brought by the roar of the heavy artillery fell on the ancient mecha's body, and there was only a pitiful little spark, which was even stronger than a mosquito bite.

Ordinary field artillery is useless against this kind of monster, unless it is a deformed weapon like a monster cannon, but they also die with it. However, the artillery fire that had already been fired once before did not kill the black demon, not to mention that it would take a long time to reload the ammunition again.

"Get out!" Constance Dante roared in the mech, and Nidhogg's wings swept away everything on the ground like a broomstick, and at that moment everyone felt like the wind was blowing in front of them, and then there was eternal darkness. And that means the end!

Cons, Dante, eventually regained his grip on the butcher's knife and swung it at those who stood in his way.

……

And not far away, far away from the war, the woman wearing a hood took off her hat and looked at the ancient mecha and shook her head: "This is your weakness!" Knight King, we have been separated for four years, and after that lesson, you are still so naïve. When will you throw away that trace of warmth? ”

That face was the daughter of Alfonso, Grand Duke of Athens, who had defeated Constantine in Constantinople four years earlier, who had faced the siege of the Crusaders in the mecha [klibanophoro].

But Consité Dante himself knew that the woman had actually saved herself. And at this moment, she watched all this coldly, as if she didn't want to make a move, and silently watched the development of the situation. (To be continued.) )
