"You're the one looking for death!"

Perón also pointed his spear at Siegel without showing off, and he wore a helmet that did not show his shiny bald head.

Meredi then realized that all the Spaniards wore armour, and with the exception of a few individuals with great personal strength, most of them carried spears, which were the most effective weapons in the battle formation.

Moreover, the knights of the German group who were accused together were also with the Spaniards, and the old De Flich, who was the most senior in the German group, stood with Veron.

This old man, with only one leg and one hand, was the father of the knightess who had beaten little Terry.

Although the Holy Roman Empire was divided internally, only Austria and Spain, the strongest of them, formed a close alliance.

Brandenburg, Saxony and even Bavaria actually had their own little calculations, and they were by no means supportive of the authority of the Warlock Royalty.

But at this time, the German-speaking group overcame their internal differences and chose to align themselves with Austria.

Is this really going to be fought?

No, they didn't mobilize the local troops.

In the end, Meredi vetoed it in her heart, and she was just bluffing.

Siegel didn't think so, but he didn't think about anything anymore.

Without hesitation, he raised his weapon and prepared to attack the Spaniards.

D'Artagnan and several other high-ranking knights of the French group were watching Meredi at this time, this was not their plan, and they did not want to really dismantle the Knights.

But Siegel was completely out of control...............

“！！！！！！！！！”

Siegel let out a roar.

But his voice was completely drowned out by other voices.

Something struck the surface of the water with a loud bang.

"Passage !!"

After the loud bang, a column of water more than ten meters high rose in the sea next to the beach, which jumped and then disintegrated, drenching everyone on the beach.

It was the end of summer, and the water temperature in the Mediterranean Sea was very comfortable, but Meredi felt a chill in her heart.

She knew what it was, and she had heard it countless times in Buda.

This was the wrath of God, and the Ottomans completely suppressed the defenders of Buda with hundreds of these weapons, so that they could not prevent the Ottomans from damming the city outside the city, and finally conquered Buda.

It was originally a secret that the Church of Rome painstakingly studied and held on its own, but ten years ago, when the Spaniards conquered Rome, the weapon was taken away by the Spaniards, and the Ottomans also relied on spies to obtain it in the chaos.

In contrast to the Ottomans, who preferred to use the best weapons for siege, the Spaniards preferred to give the best weapons to their fleets, and this was now the standard firepower configuration for Spanish capital ships.

Immediately afterward, Melady, and everyone else saw two large ships appear on the horizon.

This is the main ship that Spain has placed on the island of Malta, and the five smaller auxiliary ships behind it must have also arrived, but the horizon has not yet been revealed.

'What are they going to do?' ’

Meredi thought quickly in her mind, the situation was somewhat unexpected to her, and in her consideration, the Spanish fleet should not be hastily involved in this incident if it was wise, and it was their best choice to deal with the conflict within the Knights.

Yes, that's the best thing they can do. ’

Eventually, however, she came to the conclusion that the Spaniards were so stubborn that no matter how tough they were, they wouldn't dare to intervene in the end.

The Spanish fleet on the island is indeed powerful and can definitely change the balance of power, but they will never dare to intervene in the internal fighting of the Knights, once the anti-Spanish sentiment of the French group is triggered, the shield of the Knights Hospitaller, which protects the eastern coast of Spain, will collapse and disintegrate.

After the fall of Rhodes, in order to prevent the religious fervor of the French from fading, the Emperor ceded sovereignty over the island to the Knights Hospitaller, despite internal opposition, and was so lenient that he did not even claim suzerainty.

Although the island of Malta was the most barren of the territories, the fact that the suzerainty was not claimed was also a sign of the emperor's hesitation.

The factors that made him reluctant to persecute the Knights Hospitaller still exist today, and the Emperor still has many scruples.

Meredi was convinced that the Germans were both inside and out, and although she had been away from Austria for more than a year, she was confident that no one knew better than she the miserable state of the regent in Vienna.

Buda has been a self-reliant town in Austria for nearly a decade, and Meladydi has seen the city inundated, vast reserves destroyed by floods, and vital water sources contaminated.

The strongest fortresses were eventually destroyed by disease and **.

Vienna, which has also experienced rapid growth in the last decade, is a completely commercial city, and now that the fall of Buda is exposed to the Ottoman army, not to mention the actual siege, this possibility alone has caused a significant decline in local commerce.

An Austrian army led by the Austrian protector Frenzberg was still holding out in Transylvani and successfully repelled an attack by an Ottoman division after the fall of Buda, but with the fall of Buda, Austria was unable to replenish the corps via the Danube.

The local area is full of Hungarians with very limited identification with Vienna and Romanians with no identification at all, and the supplies and military resources that can be provided are extremely limited, and the situation in Frenzberg is actually very dangerous.

The Austrian regent refused to give up Transylvania and was desperate to keep the territory, and he would never want the Knights Hospitaller to collapse so that the Ottomans could concentrate more forces against him.

Meladyi is confident that she is invincible.

But Meredi didn't want to really reason with the Spaniards, she served the interests of Ciric, and she was emotionally inclined to the Kingdom of France, but she also had to take care of her own interests and the interests of the Knights Hospitaller.

Her income came mainly from the churches and estates controlled by the Knights Hospitaller in France, which had been coveted by the King and other nobles, and if the infighting really intensified and the Order collapsed, her possessions and power would be destroyed.

Not to mention the great loss, the Kingdom of Spain, which is thousands of miles away, can afford to lose, but the Knights Hospitaller can't afford to lose.

She grabbed the out-of-control Attorney General Siegel and whispered in his ear: "Hasty action will only allow the enemy who killed our son to escape justice, don't worry, wait until we cut off the flesh of those people, piece by piece." ”

Her voice was more beautiful than ever, and even though Attorney General Siegel had lost his mind, he still couldn't fight it.

Or rather, the more crazy he became, the more he couldn't stand up to the Sirik divine power that Meredi possessed.

Meilaidi is not talking nonsense, she has indeed made up her mind to do this, whether Wu Xin really killed Kevent or not, the conflict between him and Kevent is undoubtedly real.

Let this hateful warlock suffer humiliation and pain before he dies.

After Meredi took control of Siegel, she yelled at Spain: "Peron, immediately let the Emperor's fleet return to port, and all sailors must not leave the port area for twenty-four hours, otherwise the Spanish fleet will no longer be welcome to anchor on Malta Island in the future!" ”

"What kind of thing are you......... several Spanish apprentices and servants were greatly enraged by Meredi's words, the right to berth the fleet is the core of Spanish hegemony, and whoever dares to obstruct it is the enemy of the emperor.

"Shut up, don't be rude to His Highness the Elect!" In the end, it was not Belon who stopped them, but an ordinary person with a mediocre appearance and no bright spots.

However, with the three hundred Spanish sailors behind him, his words carried a lot of weight.

These sailors were the most elite troops of the era, and with the mere slapping of their spears, they repelled the mob and put Wu Xin and them in a circle.

"It's the Marquis of Bazin!"

"Marquis Bazin, it's good you're here!"

The Spaniards cheered.

This unassuming man was the commander of the Spanish Mediterranean fleet, Alvardo Bazán.

The commander came from a prominent Spanish family and fought against the Ottomans, and at the age of twenty advanced to the core, and was considered one of the most likely candidates to become a protector of the country.

However, Meredi was not stage frightened: "Bazin, I say to you one last time, to return to the port at once, and then write to the Emperor of Madrid, asking him to make deep reflection and serious repentance for the death of Cardinal Picromini. Only in this way can we seek the understanding of His Majesty the Chosen Pope and the Cardinals, otherwise hum"

Chief Eli Adam appears to have been seriously injured and has not appeared until now, and Meredi takes the opportunity to dominate the scene and seize more power.

Although the death of a cardinal took the Spaniards by surprise, the Spaniards and Germans were insulted when they heard that she was going to make the emperor repent.

But the Marquis of Bazin did not respond, but raised his hand and stopped their clamour.

Meredi pointed at Wu Xin and continued, "Then these heretics must be handed over to me at once, thrown into ice water, and only after suffering from cold and fear can they be killed. But you have to figure it out, these are all insignificant little people, and they can't compensate for a cardinal archbishop at all, and the emperor must have other explanations to the truly chosen pope. ”

"Yes, put ice water into it and kill it immediately!" Siegel said as he rushed into the Spanish sailors to pull Wu Xin out.

"Bazin, the Italian group is finished, you don't need to support them." Meredi stepped closer and spoke softly to him.

'I never cared about the Italians, the Emperor never cared about the Italians, we only cared about the alliance with Austria. Bazin replied in his heart.

He walked up to Wu Xin and bowed: "Your Highness, Bazin is at your service." ”

Sazastan lay on Wu Xin's shoulder and did not speak, Wu Xin quickly said to Bazin in a cold tone: "Why was Prime Minister Sazastan imprisoned on the island of Malta, and what role did the Roman Church play in the fall of Buda?" Who was in the city of Rome in collusion with the Ottoman pagans? On the island of Malta, who is colluding with the infidels? Whoever is jealously destroying the excellent situation of stability and unity under His Majesty the Emperor, and how much responsibility the Pope bears, must be given to the Emperor and to the Regent. ”

"It's so cool, Lao Tzu has long wanted to slap Clement VII in the face like this." Wu Xin seems to be polite and polite, but in fact, every sentence is secretly malicious, which is really too much with Sazastan's appetite. "This dog thing has been against us again and again."

Wu Xin's series of questions each hit Meredi's chest, and the moment she saw Sazastan, she knew that something was wrong, and others couldn't recognize it, but as a voter of Ciric, she saw that the broken red skeleton was actually a powerful demigod lich.

Although Meredi had not seen Sazastan up close, she knew that the only person in the world today who could hope to become a demigod lich was a red-robed mage who was skilled in the necromantic system.

"Prime Minister Sazastan?!"

"The old red robe is not dead?"

The Spaniards and Germans also shouted in unison when they heard the words of the Marquis of Bazin, Sazastan served the warlock royal family for decades, held various important positions in Spain and Austria, and had great prestige in both countries.

"That's right, it's me, Sazastan's old bone, who will continue to serve the emperor and the regent." Sazastan struggled to fly again for a while, and after losing another tooth, he fell on Wu Xin's shoulder in pain.

"The old prime minister really isn't dead!"

"The old prime minister has become a lich?"

Although it was only a momentary demonstration and his form was amazing, he made the Spaniards and Germans cheer, and some of the knights even saw his form to some extent.

People from all walks of life have asked incredulous questions.

"Could it be that the Roman Church is colluding with the infidels? Could this be something wrong? ”

"It must be a mistake, how can the True Chosen Pope collude with the infidels, I think at most there is a certain cardinal archbishop who colluded with the heretics and deceived His Majesty the True Chosen Pope."

This shocking news made the French lose the will to fight, and the Spaniards in the Order were also puzzled.

But the three hundred sailors under the command of the Marquis of Bazin remained quietly in formation, and they were barely affected.

In fact, almost all of these sailors participated in the Roman siege ten years ago, and it was they who forced the real pope to dissolve the alliance with the Kingdom of France, severely punished several cardinals of French origin, compensated the regent for several religious territories in Central Italy, and compensated the emperor with 400,000 thalers.

After getting in touch with Sazastan, the emperor deliberately collected these veterans and mobilized them here in order to send them to this use.

The death of Sazastan and the fall of Buda were major events that shook the continent, and now the Church of Rome is on wax.

The crime of collusion with infidels is not something that any force wants to touch, and the Church of Rome in particular cannot be suspected of this.

In this situation, even Meredi was speechless, her intestines were repentant, and she could only curse Eli Adam in her heart,

It was only a matter of not letting her know that there was such a captive here, after all, her status was much lower than that of the cardinal before she became a chosen person.

But you he. How the hell can you let Sazastan run?!

Only now did she understand why the head of the regiment had to hide from anyone all the time, it turned out that it was just to not carry this pot.

However, she still barely supported and defended the Church of Rome: "This matter does need to be investigated deeply, but I am sure that the Chosen Pope will not have anything to do with this matter, His Majesty the Chosen Pope has no doubt about his hatred of the infidels, now I suggest that everyone return to their own station, every one of the Knights Hospitaller is a precious treasure and cannot be lost in internal strife." ”

The Marquis of Bazin nodded, indicating that he accepted Meredi's suggestion, the emperor and the regent really did not want the Knights Hospitaller to lose too much, Spain and Austria could use the Knights Hospitaller, and after this infighting, it was clear that the Spanish group would be in complete control of the situation.

"No! I don't care about Sazastan or any other, they killed my son, I'm going to kill him! ”

Seeing that the Knights Hospitaller were about to restore harmony, a mentally abnormal person jumped out.

Attorney General Siegel shouted as he recklessly charged.

Meredi takes a step forward, about to knock her lover unconscious and drag her back.

Her movements were thunderous, and purple lightning swirled beneath her feet as she walked.

But she was one step slower after all.

"Hehe, then you should go and reflect and repent first."

Wu Xinzheng felt that there was a little unfinished meaning today, and the Meilaidi in front of him made him feel dangerous.

Siegel seeks his own death, and Wu Xin is determined to make the most of this opportunity.

The flames in the skull's eyes on Wu Xin's shoulder flickered and dimmed, and an illusory figure flew out of Attorney General Siegel's body, and then was sucked into the skeleton's eyes.

Meredi's hand was a step slower, passing through her lover's muddy body.

Under the gaze of hundreds of people, Siegel's ** disintegrated and collapsed, turning into dust, except for the handful that Meredi was holding in his hand, the others disappeared in the rising tide of the sea in an instant.

Meredi fell to her knees, her hands in the water, trying to grab more, but her movements caused the ashes in her hands to be taken away by the sea.

The top figure of the Knights Hospitaller, Attorney General Siegel, disappeared without leaving a trace.

It's not all without traces, and there is a struggling and twisted face on one of Sazastan's remaining teeth............

"Nope! No! No! ”

Meredi let out a heart-rending roar, and she just knelt on the sand and buried her head deep in the water.

Losing a son and lover in quick succession in less than a day is a blow that can be crazy for anyone.

Wu Xin was expecting this blow to crush her, and the Spaniards were also looking forward to it, and the Marquis of Bazin quietly moved a step slightly to the side, finding an excellent position to flank her.

Meredi's brain was in a mess at this time, she was really losing her mind, she was no longer completely loyal to Chief Prosecutor Siegel, and she even looked down on this lover a little bit compared to the hero she really identified with.

But she knew Siegel's affection for him, and still enjoyed his cherished affection, because of the existence of her son, there was a real family bond between her and him.

This bond may slowly fade after the loss of his son, but at this moment, it is indeed the time when this bond is the most intense and vigorous.

In her extreme anguish, she nearly forgot about Ciric's church.

What is the balance of power, what is the supremacy of power, what is the key is to win, and it is better to die.

Just as she was about to launch a surprise attack on Wu Xin desperately, a gentle question that reached her soul suddenly sounded in her ears.

"The love between men and women, the love between mother and child, are all given by God, and today God takes it back, do you have resentment?"

The voice evoked an unforgettable faith in her.

Meredi immediately realized that this was the voice of the chosen pope, and that God's apostles on earth were trying to redeem themselves through costly means.

It's not just an ultra-long-distance exchange, the True Chosen Pope is channeling pure divine power into her body.

Her face was twisted and painful, fighting against the nature of humanity and all life.

Eventually, she looked up.

"No, I don't dare, Meredi doesn't dare." Meredi suddenly shouted, startling everyone.

"God will test us with all kinds of demons, and only by believing in God's dogma can we find the way to the throne of the highest."

"Yes, I would never dare disobey Him." Meredi knelt down to the end and buried her face deep in the sea and sand again.

When she lifted her face from the water, there was no sorrow on her face, and then she stood up firmly, waved her hand, threw the last bit of her lover's body into the sea, and left the beach without looking back.

Wu Xin behind her stared at her with the same determination.

Obviously, it's not over yet.

"The eagle should be wary of crows, but not even the biggest ones." Cassano's voice sounded softly in Wu Xin's ears, a solemn and elegant voice, containing loyalty and expectation. "Especially since you've regained real wings."

Wu Xin nodded, withdrew his gaze from Mei Laidi, and looked up at the endless starry sky above his head, and a sense of pride rose in his heart.

…………………

Midnight that day, Rome.

The Swiss Guards, who were on patrol at night, saw a cardinal archbishop slowly walking into the Sistine Chapel.

His pace was steady, and although it was a little late, there was no sign of panicking.

In reality, however, the cardinal was merely pretending to be calm, and when he entered the chapel door, convinced that no guards had seen him, he immediately let out a sigh of relief, and then, almost trotting to the throne of "absolute truth", he knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is a change in the island of Malta, they have saved the Saza ................"

In the middle of his speech, he suddenly lost his voice, because it was only then that he could see that the Chosen Pope, who sat on the throne of "absolute truth", had a page of true nerve in his hand.

His posture was very stiff, his face was extremely pale, as if he was about to die, and the cardinal knew that this was the consequence of arousing the true nerves.

The Chosen Pope Clement VII slowly put down the treasure in his hand, without this treasure in Ciric's handwriting, even the True Pope would not be able to perceive the sharp mood swings of the elector hundreds of miles away, and at the last moment pull her back to Ciric's teachings.

At this time, the golden parchment seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and he tried to keep smiling, but he smiled extremely tiredly: "It's all right, Fannese, it's all right." ”

………………….

Late that night, Madrid, bathroom in the Royal Palace.

A man was lying in a pool filled with bright red liquid in a dark red marble bath.

There are several ** beauties up and down the pool, some of them sit on the edge of the pool, moving on his shoulders, some hide in the pool, swim under his crotch, take turns to take a mouthful of the liquid in the pool with their mouths, and then smear it on the man's body little by little with their tongues.

Such a picture could have been called **, but this man's posture and majesty made this scene seem very natural, as if so many beauties were nothing to him, and they were simply his share of enjoyment.

Even in such an environment, the man frowned, as if such a beauty could not attract his full attention.

Fortunately, as soon as he opened his eyes today, the chief of the court, who had been waiting for a while, reported to him with a happy face: "Your Majesty, there is good news for the island of Malta, as speculated by His Royal Highness the Regent, His Highness Sazastan was indeed arrested by the True Chosen Pope, and now he has regained his freedom. ”

The corners of the man's mouth in the pool curled slightly, but after an instant, he regained his dignity and majesty, and ordered in a deep voice: "Act according to the plan." ”

The steward walked to the door, and the Emperor reluctantly added, "Remind the regent of Vienna one more time, and this time be sure to be consistent with me." ”

………………….

The next day at noon, Vienna.

In the palace, the Council of State continued the meeting that began last night.

"Your Royal Highness Regent, strengthening the city defense of Vienna is the first priority, and the funds of 150,000 thalers can ensure that there are no holes in the city walls, and there are 100,000 thalers of military supplies to be provided to the Transylvanian side, and the Polish side has only provided some food and grass, and His Highness Frentzberg urgently needs weapons and armor to form a new wing."

"Some branches of the army will only waste money, we should expand the high-performing services, not rebuild some incompetent ones, the Danube fleet is the real barrier of Austria, Your Royal Highness Regent, as long as you give me 500,000 thalers, the Ottomans come to Vienna to die."

"Fuck some of your mother's military branches, fuck your mother's 500,000 thalers, why don't you want five million?!"

"If I had five million thalers, not only would I be able to defend Vienna, but I would be able to pull out the Ottoman salient in Central Hungary! At that time, His Highness Frentzberg's crisis will be resolved without a fight. ”

"Blow, keep blowing, the Ottomans will be blown away by you, blown to Belgrade, blown to Istanbul."

The man seated on the throne was in his prime, handsome and dashing, not much inferior to the one in Madrid, but he was more distressed than the emperor, and was now looking with a sad brow at the Council of State, which had once again become a pot of porridge.

For the dowry of 300,000 thalers, which has not yet arrived in the Polish princess, the parties are completely shirtless.

The argument turned into invective again, and he felt like his migraine was about to strike again.

Just as he was about to slap the table again to stop the commanders of certain services from beating up the commanders of certain services, a one-eyed and one-armed man walked into the conference room.

After listening to the whisper for a while, the expression on his face changed, and he first sneered: "Let me be consistent with him?" Hehe. ”

Then he said to the one-eyed and one-armed man, "Go and tell Her Highness Misrila the good news, no, I will tell her myself later." ”

Then he shouted, "Enough! ”

Several high-ranking officials who were glaring at each other and were about to do a big job immediately sat back in their places, straightened their bodies, and waited for his instructions.

"I have dug His Highness Sazastan out of the secret cell of the Roman Church, and there are no five million thalers, but I will not allow the Ottomans to stay in Central Hungary again, and I will restore contact with Frenzberg as soon as possible, and I will return to Buda!"

However, he suddenly remembered something, and turned back to the one-eyed man, "What kind of pseudonym did you say Cassano gave him?" ”

"Cesare Cibbo ........." the one-eyed man also had a strange and distorted expression when he said the name, and he didn't know what he was feeling.

"Why do you hate me so much........." The Austrian regent sat back in his place and sighed deeply.
