Chapter 1561: The Long Knife Unsheathed

On the cold-windswept wilderness was Downton's trembling murmur.

"Sorry I'm late!"

Downton hugged Sissi tightly, his arm was shaking all the time, he really didn't dare to think that if it wasn't for his own whim to greet Sissi, then he would have lost her forever.

The girls Downton knew were all amazingly talented, and the worst was also the Generalissimo, but Sissi, who was talented but had no cultivation, so he gave her a piece of soul treasure diamond he got.

This diamond is a natural pair, and once separated, it will always point to the other, and with it, Downton can easily find Sissi's location.

"Downton?"

Hearing Sissi's name, the hundreds of soldiers around her seemed to have been thrown into the icy North Pole, and they were directly frozen.

In the next second, the soldiers all turned around and ran, it was Downton, the strong man who defeated Heinrich, the first person in the young generation, unmatched.

"No one can leave, pay for your offense!"

Downton snorted coldly, and a white-gold aura burst out on his head, instantly radiating a radius of a thousand yards, and those soldiers who were affected immediately ignited with golden flames.

"Ah, Your Majesty, spare your life!"

The scorching of the Holy Light's praise caused these soldiers to collapse in an instant.

Syllable!

Downton reached out and grabbed a dagger that stabbed at Sissi, and the cheap god appeared, blocking the other assassin with a sword.

Forbidden Demon Realm!

Swish!

The six legendary evil god masters who assassinated Sissi suddenly felt that the demonic energy was exhausted and their bodies were dry, so they didn't hesitate to run away, but it was too late.

Five visions emerged from Downton. Blow their heads out.

"By the way, hurry up and save my men!"

Sissi pulled Downton to go back to the manor, and this time in order to assassinate him, the Shadow of the Holy Maiden sent many masters, even one of the Holy Ancestors.

"Kill or kill!"

With Downton's order. Firebirds and twin angels shoot out, and as an aerial class, they have an absolute advantage.

After discovering that Downton was coming, the high-level evacuated decisively, and the remaining miscellaneous fish had nothing to fear.

After the killing, Downton didn't care about killing them all, but handed over the follow-up to the city lord of the city, and returned to Rome with Sissi.

"Notify the whole process of the officials to hold a meeting. After half an hour, if you don't arrive, you will never come. ”

Sissi, who has always been gentle, forced herself to become iron-blooded because she was worried about her father's safety.

Half an hour later, the council hall was crowded, and even if the officials had any intentions, Sissi was also the titular Princess Lombarty. They must comply.

"My father, appointed Downton as governor of Rome. From now on, the Commander-General of Rome, Turin, Florence...... , the military and political powers of the seven major provinces, please cooperate as soon as possible and report to him. ”

Sissi's voice fell, in the hall. Immediately, there was a lot of discussion, and the eyes of the officials subconsciously fell on the two dukes of Medici and Borgia.

In Lombardy, in addition to the king, the most powerful were the governors of Rome, Milan, and Bavaria. Exactly divides the country into three parts.

Among them, Similian controlled the whole of Bavaria and most of Milan, while the governor of Rome was held by the other three giants in turn.

In fact, the king only had nominal leadership over Rome, and even in its heyday, it was never unified here, let alone now, his descendants were dragged to the battlefield of Milan by the army led by the Holy Maiden, and the legions of the three wealthy dukes were not damaged.

"In two days' time, I will see the three legions of Rome, Turin and Florence ready for Milan to support our compatriots. ”

Sissi was so anxious that as soon as this sentence came out, it immediately attracted the resistance of the nobles.

The territory of the Nine Empires is too big, regional discrimination has always existed, the Milanese scolded the Romans for the nouveau riche, the city that smelled of copper, the Romans scolded the Milanese hillbillies, the magnates were not afraid of fighting, but they wanted to spend military money and soldiers' lives, defending their own property and land, not fighting for others.

"My niece, you need to calm down, the war is not bad enough to be that bad. ”

Duke Borgia spoke.

This guy is slightly chubby, has a kind face, and always has a smile on his lips, but when it comes to ruthlessness, he is definitely the first in Rome.

"Yes, do you know how tedious it is to mobilize a large army?" said the Duke of Medici, "for two days, the soldiers may not even have come out of the camp. ”

"Huh!"

In the hall, there was a sound of ridicule, the two dukes made a statement, and the magnates naturally understood how to act, to be honest, if Similian came in person, they might still be a little jealous, but they were replaced by a pampered Sissi.

It is true that Sissi's business ability is undoubtedly a good hand, but politically, compared to old fellows like the Duke of Medici, she is a harmless little white rabbit, and if you want to blame Your Majesty, she dotes on her too much and never lets her get contaminated with these dirty things.

"But the front line ......"

Sissi argued, but before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted.

"I'm reading the war report, Sissi, all you have to do now is take a shower and calm down, the war is about it, and we men have to worry about it. ”

The Duke of Medici is completely an elder who loves his niece.

"My child, we are already mobilizing for war, and in a week at the latest, the army will be on its way!"

Borgia explained.

"I can't wait for a week, I can't wait a day!"

Sissi insisted, but the two dukes had already begun to talk to the secretary, and it seemed that they were arranging work, but everyone knew that it was perfunctory.

For the sake of her father, Sissi bit her lip and was about to continue arguing, but was stopped by Downton.

"It's okay, the meeting is over!"

Seeing Downton shake his head at herself, Sissi announced.

Sure enough, the magnates who couldn't wait left directly, yawning one by one, discussing going back to sleep, or having fun by the way, and didn't even bother to do the kind of greeting like usual.

"Do they want to see my father die?"

Sissi sat on the chair dejectedly, crying silently, she is a political novice, but she also understands these simple truths.

Once the father died. It was not the Evil Gods who benefited the most, but the Romans, who were finally able to break free from the millennia of Milanese rule and become the true masters of the country.

"When the time comes, if we drive out the Evil God Army, we will be the saviors of Lombardy!"

Medici laughed.

"Not bad. Let those poor guys in the west go!"

Duke Borgia sneered.

"Start a coup d'Γ©tat!"

Looking at the departing nobles, most of whom had no sense of urgency at all as the war was approaching, Downton spat out these words.

"What?"

Sissi was startled and jerked her head up at Downton.

"Kill those bigwigs and take the power of Rome completely in your hands. ”

Downton repeated.

"No!" Sissi subconsciously refused, "Do you know how many people would have died? ”

"If you let the Evil God Army fight, you will die even more. Downton pressed Sissi's shoulder. He could feel the girl's fear, "Besides, it was peacetime, so naturally there could be no big purge, but now it's different!"

"But ......"

Sissi couldn't accept why the soldiers were killing each other instead of killing together?

"Selfishness, it's human nature. Those old guys, how many people died. In their eyes, it is all a number, and they are more concerned with how to maximize their own interests. ”

Downton has seen so much of this arrogant guy that they always think they can turn the tide and become the biggest winner, and they will not understand until death comes. How powerless I am.

Sissi was silent.

"Leave it to me. ”

Downton hugged Sissi, "Uncle must have set up some men in Rome, right?"

"Yes, but I'm not sure if they're still loyal to their father!"

As a king, how can he not have some skill and ambition. These legacies naturally belong to Sissi.

"Be loyal, I'll contact them with you!"

Downton didn't dare to tell Sissi that once the Second was killed in battle, most of those people would have to defect, and there would be no chance of reversing at that time.

Using the invisibility effect of the One Ring, Downton and Sissi visited their men who were in a hurry.

"Two Highnesses!"

Fifty-year-old Maldini, who is also the mayor of Rome, showed a very honored expression when he saw Downton and the two visiting.

When Downton made his intentions known, Maldini was visibly lost in thought.

"Uncle Marty!"

Sissi feigned composure.

"Haha, of course I will fully support Your Highness, I was just thinking about how to act. ”

Maldini made a clever excuse to disguise his hesitation.

After discussing the details, watching Downton and the two leave, the mayor's wife walked in.

"Your decision is too presumptuous. ”

Madame's tone was full of complaints, "At least wait until the war in Milan is clear before making a decision." ”

"No, it will be too late. ”

Maldini looked resolute, not only to tell his wife, but also to cheer himself up, "Either you lose or you win." ”

"The price is too high. ”

Madame was still afraid.

"So the harvest is also great, and Sissi has promised me the position of governor of Rome. Maldini's face was shining, and that position, he had thought about for thirty years.

"If it were only Sissi, I would definitely not dare to support her, but she still has Downton, who is it? The man who climbed from a humble frontier commoner to the throne of king, the current Northern Alliance, the actual ruler, has no less territory than the Nine Great Empires. ”

"He also killed Heinrich, the rightful heir of Great Britain, the brother of the Prince of Bavaria and Princess Saint Laurent!"

Madame teased.

"Yes, after the holy war, no accident, this continent, it will be his final say, I will start to stand in line now, how much benefit do you say will be obtained?"

Maldini took a bottle of red wine and poured it into his stomach, "For the sake of our descendants, for a hereditary dukedom, it is worth fighting with my life." ”

"Uncle is not bad!"

In the carriage, Sissi breathed a sigh of relief.

Downton stroked Sissi's hair, smiled, didn't speak, good person? No, the emotional card is useless, for politicians, interests are everything, and the benefits that Downton promised are the biggest weight for him to work. (To be continued.) )
