The Eastern Romans behaved in such a way that the Venetians were completely enraged. The whole city of Venice is now under fire with the Eastern Romans. At the same time, many ruffians and hooligans began to fish in troubled waters, and the situation was chaotic. The whole of Venice was about to be destroyed. And at this time, the Venetians naturally did not forget their "wise and wise" Doge. Hundreds of Venetians gathered at the door of the Doge's Palace, shouting for the resignation of the elder Enkri Dandoro.

Of course, who should succeed him as Doge of Venice after the resignation of Enkri Dandoro, and what should Venice do in such a situation? Surrender to the Normans, or maintain the status of the city-state of Reading regardless of it. The Venetians don't think about these things at all. And no one cares. It's as if everything went wrong. People don't care too much about how things should work out.

Instead, it is important: whose responsibility is this, who should be held responsible, and who should be punished?!

That's it.

So, since the decision to unite with the East Roma was made by Nkri Dandoro, the responsibility naturally falls on Dandoro. Venice has now become this virtue, and it is also Dandoro's fault. It's not too much to kill him!

Under such thoughts, it is not a big deal to make a big deal to storm the governor's palace when the brain is hot. Some guys, in particular, burst into tears and shouted for the defeat of the traitor Nkri Dandoro, such slogans. As if if it weren't for that, he wouldn't be able to show that he was patriotic.

"Father, make a decision early in the morning!!"

Little Dandolo looked down from the rooftop. I saw that there were all people densely packed below, shouting loudly, and squeezing forward one by one. Seeing that the Governor's Guard was almost unstoppable.

Thinking of the consequences of this group of mobs rushing in, a large amount of sweat suddenly appeared in Xiao Dandoro's head. The voice shouted eagerly to his father, old Dandoro.

"Decide, decide, what?" Old Dandoro, however, was still smiling as if he were all right, as if he did not know that he might be killed at any moment by the mob that rushed in.

"Please......" said little Dandoro, and he couldn't go on anymore. Because to be honest, he also had an idea.

"Father, please come up with an idea. So little Dandoro changed his story.

"Idea? Old Dandoro sighed: "Take one step, look at three steps, one wrong step, one wrong step......"

After saying this, old Dandoro sighed as if his spine had been removed, and collapsed directly on the chair, and then reached into his coat pocket with a trembling hand. He pulled out a parchment roll.

"This ...... I originally intended to hand it over to you when you took over as Doge of Venice. But I don't think I can wait for that day......"

"What is this, what is this?" asked Dandoro.

"This, owned by Venice, is a secret of an influential family. That is, their handle. Old Dandoro smiled as if prank: "There are also some family affairs in other northern Italian city-states...... I believe that this thing will help you. ”

"This ...... It's such a thing?!" Little Dandoro, who has been trained by old Dandoro for so many years, naturally understands how precious such a thing is.

"You think I've been the Doge of Venice for so long...... Are you a vegetarian?" Old Dandoro chuckled, "In addition, I have basically told you about the family's property outside...... With these two things, it is not impossible for our family to make a comeback in the future......

"Father. Are we going to leave Venice for a while?" asked Dandoro Jr.

"No, it's not us, it's you. You leave Venice. Old Dandoro said.

"What?!Father, in this situation-you, are you?!" Little Dandoro immediately understood his father's intentions. was about to open his mouth to dissuade him, but was stopped by old Dandora.

"I'm old. The old one can barely move. Almost all of his eyes were blind...... How can you escape with such a burden as me...... Moreover, I have been popular for so long, and I have enjoyed everything I should have enjoyed, and I have been sitting in the position of the Doge of Venice for so many years. No regrets......"

"Father......" Little Dandoro knelt in front of his father and wept silently. This time it the old man.

"Let's go!!What are you crying about?!You're forty or fifty years old!Why do you want to be so embarrassed like a child?!How are you going to revive the Dandolo family?!Get out! Get out of Venice!!! Push little Dandolo away.

"I see. Father. Little Dandora was stunned for a moment, then strengthened his mind, and took one last look at his elderly, soon-to-be-dead father. Without looking back, he ran quickly downstairs and fled with a few loyal guards through the secret passages of the Doge's Palace in Venice.

Shortly after that. The Venetian mob outside the Doge's Palace finally couldn't hold back and began to storm the Doge's Palace. And the poor dozens of guards in the governor's palace couldn't stop such a thousand mobs at all, and after being knocked to the ground, they were punched and kicked, and the lucky ones ran away in the chaos, and the unlucky ones were beaten to death...... The mob then stormed the Doge's Palace. Robbing, arson, and looking for other people everywhere.

"Dandoro!Where is that old immortal traitor?!Kill him!!"

The mob, who had fallen into a frenzy, searched everywhere like this, of course, and it didn't take much effort in practice, for Governor Dandolo had no intention of escaping or hiding. Within a short time, the mob found him in the governor's office.

of corpses.

The old governor heard (for he was blind) that his son had left. He nodded in satisfaction, and after that, he committed suicide by taking poison.

The mob watched as the body of the Governor, whose mouth was bleeding and whose faces were somehow showing a mysterious smile. I don't know why, I feel a little lost. However, it was only a matter of time before the inferior roots of mankind were revealed—the precious rings, coats of arms, silk clothes, and jewel-encrusted hats on the boss were all contested. Those who failed to grab it, or too little, took out their anger on Dandoro's corpse. The poor old man was punched at the corpse, and at last the eyes were turned to the furniture made of precious trees and other small ornaments.

The entire Doge's Palace in Venice was ransacked. It was then set on fire and burned along with Nkri Dandoro's body, which had been torn into seven or eight pieces.

At this moment, in a small inconspicuous port in Venice, little Dandolo successfully found a boat according to his family's doorway, and then carried him out to sea. Aside from a few guards, five hundred florins, and a sword and a coat of arms to prove his identity, little Dandoro didn't get anything.

No, or now, he should be called Dandoro. After all, his father is dead.

Looking at the blazing Venice. Dandoro clenched his fists and secretly swore in his heart, "One day, I will come back." ”

At the same time, Egil also got the latest news about Venice through his spy network.

"Unexpected delight. ”

Completely ignoring the catastrophe that the Venetians are suffering today. Egil was very excited to say something like this. Before, because my own navy was insufficient, it would take a lot of effort to attack Venice, so I didn't want to. This time, however, Venice lost its troops. And it fell into a violent upheaval. This is indeed an opportunity.

After that, Egil and Charlie discussed, and the two sides hit it off, and decided to lead the elite cavalry troops to attack overnight and quickly take Venice, and then talk about it later.

There were more than 5,000 elite cavalry under the command of Egil, 4,000 light cavalry, 1,200 heavy cavalry, and some losses in the previous battle of Bologna, but still managed to muster some 4,500 cavalry. And the knights under the command of Duke Charles, plus the knights and light cavalry, add up to more than 1,500 people. In the previous battle of Bologna, Charles's army remained largely unmoved, and all the dead were Swiss - and of course, the spoils of war went to the Swiss.

As soon as the two sides put together, there were 6,000 cavalry. And it's all elite troops. It should be almost enough to control a chaotic and warless Venice city.

As a result, Egil no longer waited for the so-called five days of the mayor of Bologna. Of course, in order to prevent a recurrence of Bologna, the coalition forces still left 10,000 infantry to garrison Bologna. The rest of the army was also rushing towards the city of Venice. After taking Venice by Egil, he was able to completely control the city.

In this way, the battle on the Apennine Peninsula was repeated again! 40,000 Eastern Roman troops were killed, surrendered, or fled. Fall apart. Venice, the strongest city-state in northern Italy, is on the verge of extinction. The expansionist ambitions of the Eastern Roman Empire were temporarily suppressed. The morale of the Catholic coalition is high!

After hearing this, King Philip II of France, Holy Roman Emperor Frederick, and Pope Innocent III wrote letters of congratulations. For a time, the Norman kingdom of Egil was in the limelight and became one of the most eye-catching kings of the Catholic world.

It was also the most important enemy of the Eastern Roman Empire, Basil II.

"The barbarian, the one called Egil Skadergrímsson!!I want him to die without a place to bury!!!" Upon hearing of the heavy losses of his army, Basil II was furious, drew his sword and swore an oath to heaven......
