Edvenna stood on the deck, his eyes looking in the direction of the three rivers.

After following Shehir's ship to the Aegean Sea yesterday, the two parted ways.

The Great Bear was wounded all over, but he was still standing behind the Lord.

Edwin touched the Sword of the Purple Emperor in his hand and couldn't put it down.

The giant died in battle, the artifact changed hands, and after seeing Shehir's weakness and cowardice.

As the lord of the three rivers, the ambition in his heart swells rapidly.

"Your Highness, I'll be back to Mikawa soon."

"Qu Ke, did you say we lost or earned this time?"

"It's a loss, so many sailors have died, and only a third of the warships we brought out are left."

Edwin shook his head and smiled.

"When I first escaped from the fjord, I felt that I had lost a lot, but now I understand that a crisis is a turning point.

You say that if the giants win, what will we gain? Give us Crete?

But this island was originally my grandfather, and then it was robbed by their Byzantium.

So many people in the empire oppose the force oppression of the giants, and Shehir is timid and afraid, he can't keep the political legacy left by the giants, wait and see, soon there will be a new war. ”

"Ahh Then you should prepare for battle in advance to avoid being attacked. Big Bear Road.

"Yes, but this time it's us attacking others! The island of Kerry sent more than 2,000 people to the battle, and the three counts on the island sent two, both of whom were captured by Bran, and now the island must be empty of troops, although we are also empty, but the death of the giant has not leaked.

After we returned, we took advantage of their defense, and in the name of our war allies, sent people to land on the island and forcibly occupy it, and those who refused to accept it were killed. ”

"But they're vassals of the Purple Room!"

"They are de jure vassals of the Greek kingdom, and Shehir is so soft that he doesn't look like a human king, so I occupy these territories, and I don't think he dares to say anything.

He abandoned the city and fled this time, and handed over all the Greek heavy warships to the enemy, and the empire must immediately call a meeting of nobles, and let him explain, if we do something and send people to the castle to spread the scandal of his abandonment of the city and fear of death, he will definitely not be able to spare his hands.

Moreover, the Sword of the Purple Emperor is in my hands, and when the time is right, I can hand him over to Xie Xier.

This sword is very important, with the sword Sehir can maintain a certain prestige, he will not refuse. ”

Bear the sword for its crimes.

Edwin knew that he could not have such a noble sword now, and the whereabouts of the sword would be known sooner or later.

Use the sword first to maximize the benefits, and take as much territory as the giants can occupy.

Wait until you are full-fledged before you make the next decision.

Looking at Big Bear and this group of Three Rivers warriors, Edwin knew that they were loyal and brave, but there were still too few talents under his command.

There are war aspects, but there are also intelligence, financial and other aspects.

He was nominally the lord of the Three Rivers, but the giant limited his right to open a court, making it rare for the people in the realm.

"Quk, I want to establish a direct territory, let merchants from all countries come to trade, have a direct Praetorian Guard, and a lot of talents, Greeks, Egyptians, steppe people, and even North Africans will come to my aid."

The surname of the East and West Erluo, plus the Purple Room Divine Sword.

Almost, Edwin was about to blurt out, "Purple Emperor, those with many strong ships can live in it." ”

The sixteen-year-old Lord of the Three Rivers is young and full of vigor, and he has adjusted to the defeat of the war, and he is full of ambition.

Then he thought of roses.

He wants to build stronger relations with the Slovenians.

The strongest of all relationships is the marriage alliance.

But the two are not interested in each other, and their beliefs are different, so they will not agree to let themselves get rich, or the other party will marry far away, so they can only give up this article.

Edwin had the second method in mind, he wanted to use interests to bind and let the subordinates of the two intermarry, so that there would be much less resistance and a lot of closer relationships.

"Kuk, how about getting you a good-looking Slovenian woman?"

Qu Ke was stunned, does His Highness want to help me find my princess?

Thinking about it, he shook his head inwardly, he knew it couldn't be.

After the clipper rushed back to Mikawa, Edwin didn't even change the armor on his body, and immediately called all his cronies who stayed on the island.

"Follow me." Above the meeting, the lord of the three rivers was dusty and imposing.

"What are you doing?"

"Don't give it to me in the future...... Don't speak in tongues to me, a new era is coming. ”

He told everyone to take all their belongings and enter the island of Crete, which was only half a day's sea.

At the moment, no one knows about the death of the giant.

The Three Rivers and Crete are allies both nominally and in substance.

Therefore, when the Mikawa fleet docked, they casually found a reason, and the soldiers guarding the harbor were allowed to go.

When all the soldiers on the troop carrier had come ashore, Edvina began to attack the island.

He attacked in the night, and as the night passed, thousands of people died on the island.

Two-thirds of all the armed fortresses in Crete were taken by him, and the remaining one-third, under his inducement, surrendered their weapons.

The whole island of Crete and the Three Rivers together are the complete Three Rivers region, which is considered an orthodox dukedom.

But there is still some time to digest such a forcible way of seizure.

On the one hand, Edwin purged the opponents on the island, and on the other hand, he also sent people to Slovenia, and even Hungary, Austria and other countries to establish an intelligence network.

As long as he is given half to a year, the Great Three Rivers region will be completely under his firm control.

And although he negotiated with Rose, he would jointly suppress Bran in the future.

But he learned in the book that the way of dealing with things should be changed according to different times, so that he can be called a wise monarch.

He said to the bear, "Send two knights to Florence to find Bran. Charman, see if we can ease the relationship. ”

"Your Highness, will they agree?"

"That kid is going to get involved in Italy, and our target is the Aegean Sea, which is both related and unrelated.

Now that the war is decided, we should take the first step to mend relations with them, otherwise one day he will attack with great power, and we will be passive.

A lot of goods from Florence also have to go through the Three Rivers to the Twelve Greek Islands and the Holy City Kingdom, and it is also beneficial to cooperate with us.

Remember one thing, as long as the opponent can benefit from us, it is that the opponent may accept the ridiculous proposal. ”

Halfway through speaking, Edwin added, "We don't have to pretend to be country nobles in the future, don't speak dialects, and speak orthodox accents, and soon, those nobles who look down on us will know that the Three Rivers warriors in the south of the empire are no longer the objects they can laugh at." ”

Da Xiong glanced at the lord and felt that His Highness's rotor was so fast that he couldn't keep up.

"When things are on the right track, I will give you an army, and at that time, you will be the head of the Praetorian Guard of the Iron Bear Guard."

In what became Eastern Rome (Byzantium), there were three powerful imperial guards (knights).

Historic Brotherhood of the Holy Sepulchre.

To resist the Ottomans, the Georgian Guards created by the lords of the Eastern Military Town.

and the Iron Bear Guardian who arose in Sanhe, absorbed good players from all over the world, and played a prestigious role in the purple indoor war.

These three armed forces ruled the future life and death of the empire.

Edwin's anxious development forces at the same time.

Bran, hundreds of nautical miles away, was faster than him.

Heaven and earth are all working together.

When people are lucky, fortune soars.

Bran took the prestige of the First Bow in the East China Sea and first let Shehir flee back to the Greek island in the Aegean Sea, and then incorporated the navy of the six islands of the fjord.

Later, the ships marched towards Venice without stopping the port.

The giants put thousands of Greek logistics in the port of Venice, an armed force not to be underestimated.

After Bran surrounded Venice with nearly 10,000 seamen, he surrounded but did not fight.

Because in addition to his own navy, he also had reinforcements from pirates, Castile, Afrilian, and even two other allies.

Once the port is broken, these people will have to get a piece of the pie.

As a result, the bustling city of Venice will suffer an unprecedented catastrophe.

In Bran's heart, after twenty years of brainwashing by his grandfather, this place has belonged to my Grand Chaman family since ancient times, and no one wants to touch it.

At this time in Venice, because Sehir sent someone into the harbor to say that the giants were defeated.

The Purple Room soldiers immediately sealed the harbor.

When Bran sent people to negotiate with the nobles of the Purple Chamber in Venice, he successfully sent spies to sneak into the port of Venice and contact Dandoro.

And he drew up the terms of the transaction, so that he could find a way to bring it to the original Venetian merchant aristocracy in the city.

It is clear that Bran has only come to bring the people back into the arms of God.

Faced with the occupation of Venice by Orthodox Christians, Bran was heartbroken, and day and night he wanted to help the people of his hometown and return to the correct faith. When the letter was sent, Bran's men also gathered on the ship to secretly discuss whether Bran would fight or not.

Ambu asked Simon, "You say, will you attack again?"

"No, I have followed His Highness for many years, and I know His Highness's thoughts too well, at the moment, unless we can take Venice by ourselves, tens of thousands of people will attack, and according to the number of heads, we can only take three or four percent at most, which is not cost-effective.

Let's recuperate, His Highness must be in contact with Dandoro and want to rebel against the nobles inside. ”

Everyone needs friends, and Ambu is now on the same side as Simon, seeking greater benefits for the future.

"You said that His Excellency Carol is dead, and if a public court is established in the future, who will be given the post of military governor?"

"Look at your face, I can't hide my mind at all, if I don't give it to you now, you say, who is more suitable than you?"

"It's hard to say, Desley is the commander of the regiment, and his combat achievements are also high, and in this naval battle, the part he led conquered the most warships."

"He is not only not an Italian, nor a neighboring Frank, but a foreigner, and he has not seen him swear an oath in prayer to the All-Knowing and Almighty, so why should he climb on your head?"

Simon said that Ambu agreed very much, and Ambu Lishang also said, "This time you went to Venice as a hostage, and then participated in a naval battle, and you were wounded all over your body, no one is higher than you in terms of merit and danger, and you are the court scholar of the Grand Duke, and you are second only to His Royal Highness His Excellency Carol, I think that after the establishment of the public court, the post of palace minister belongs to you." ”

"And Hilde, Ichisu, these people who are entrusted with government affairs by His Highness on weekdays."

"A Ross horse thief, a peasant, of inferior origin, I think we should be more united and build a pure Italian aristocratic system."

Simon thought for a few seconds about Ambu's proposal, and immediately agreed.

People's vision and insight are easily limited by the times, and they often only choose what is advantageous and familiar to the present.

For the steppes, the Venetians, the Florentines, the Romans were all Italians.

But for the locals, Italy is divided into southern Italy, central Italy, northern Italy, and island Italy (offshore islands).

Venice can be seen as an island in Italy.

Imbrand is from an Italian background.

Therefore, for Ambu, the island of Bran and the north of the country are in the same cultural circle.

He belongs to the "lineage".

The nobles of Italy, southern Italy, are even worse, not to mention the nobles of Italy.

Aristocrats are not monarchs and do not need to have a vision or ideas.

Ambu doesn't need it, and neither does Simon.

This group of island-Italian and northern-Italian nobles who followed Bran took the lead in creating factions.

Then, as Bran's territory increased, more factions sprang out from behind.

They will also let their children marry amicably to continue the noble bloodline law.

One generation does the business of another, this is an ordinary monarch.

One generation does the work of two generations, which can be called the master.

One generation does the work of three generations, this is a generation of heroes.

But even if it is a British master, it is difficult to change the concept of regional culture for thousands of years.

Bran can't reverse human nature, because he himself is controlled by human nature.

Two days later, Bran, the Greek inside, agreed to let them take their belongings and move them safely.

At the same time, Bran did not enter Venice, and he ordered the coalition forces not to enter either, and Bran only sent 200 men to assist Dandoro in maintaining the security of Venice in the power vacuum.

This was a condition that had been negotiated in advance with the Venetian aristocracy.

After all, back then, these new Venetian business aristocrats hanged a bunch of people from the Charman family.

Howard shouted in Florida for decades to regain his homeland.

At present, the Venetians in the city saw Bran come back with 10,000 horses, and their hearts were uncertain.

And Bran could not take his share, but the coalition could not, and the Venetians still cut a piece of meat to Castile and them.

As an outsider, it is a gift to help oneself return to the faith of God.

Throughout the negotiation process, the African side was completely passive.

Originally, they were the strongest, and they defeated the navy in two wars, and the army also had to prevent the tribes of North Africa and the Franks.

Nor is it possible to go north to fight Bran, a fellow believer on the peninsula.

He was also taken advantage of by Bran to return to Rome to recuperate (during the naval battle, he fell into a coma and suffered a stroke).

He led the recovery of the six islands in Tongxia, the negotiations in Venice, and the distribution of sea power.

Now Bran is like a little giant.

When these Greeks left the port, Bran's warship launched a salute.

The port of Venice was also filled with people cheering wildly.

Ashclay took away a large amount of Venetian wealth and transported it to Aegean ports.

Not recognized by them at all.

The two hundred men sent by Bran were all selected elites, with strong physiques, all their armor polished, and they entered the port of Venice in a uniform manner.

In less than a day, 200,000 people in Venice spread the word about Bran's heroism.

The giant was killed by Arnold, but who is Arnold? Not yet a knight under Bran.

Even the Holy See, supported by Ashcly, the clergy and even the Pope, cheered under the icon of God and Venice returned to the Orthodox faith.

Soon, Bran. The name Chaman appears in the palaces of the monarchs of various countries.

The Teutonic Order will become more widely known.

Subsequently, accompanied by Dandoro, Bran and the Venetian nobles signed a treaty of joining the Hanseatic League in the harbor.

Bran didn't ask for their favors, and wanted to build a military alliance that depended on each other.

In this way, the influence will be directly radiated to the Balkans.

He even said privately to Dandoro and Simon, "Except Venice and Rome, in other seaports, you will use a printing press to make me a small catalogue of the Third Battle of the Strait, at least a thousand copies, for the sailors to disperse."

I want the heroes of the bright world to know who saved the bright world. ”

"Wouldn't that be too ostentatious?" Dandoro persuaded.

"I need to be swaggering now, I just chase away the giant, and I don't occupy his monarch's territory, and I have a great reputation.

Now I have the most control over the turbulence of the six islands of Tongxia, Venice has become our ally, plus the location of Florence.

The three support each other, and the Purple Room Navy will not be able to pull tens of thousands of people to fight us in a short time, so there is nothing to fear.

We should be guarding against the Franks and Chai Su.

However, Chai Su is sick now, and it is estimated that he will not be able to spare his hands to embarrass us, so the Franks will be left.

The goal-breaker has great ambitions, and I am doing this now to occupy the high ground of fame.

I would then propose the abolition of the Holy See in Venice, the return of authority to Rome, and the support of the Roman clergy.

At the time of Chai Subara, many of the original Roman Templar Knights were recruited.

Many of these people are my companions, and they are forced to commit, but they do not necessarily approve of Chai Su in their hearts.

When my fame spreads throughout the bright world, they will choose to support me in their hearts.

And the Lionheart King of the Holy Land is also going to help someone to form an alliance with me.

The same is true of Castille on the Western Peninsula, with whom I have established friendly relations this time.

I also intend to have Durham, in southern Ireland, establish a trade route with them, and in the future establish a safe shipping route from the North Sea to the Sea of Gibraltar and to the Mediterranean.

As long as we have a good reputation and more allies, the Franks will not be able to help us, give me a while, the Franks will dare to embarrass me, and I will send these Yankees back to their mother's womb to drink milk. ”

Bran was in high spirits at the moment.

In his mind is no longer the Duchy of Venice, but the King of Italy, one of the six kings of Rome.

The old era sent the giants away, and the new era ushered in Bran.

After negotiating with Venice, the Teutonic Black Eagle flag was also inserted into the port of Venice.

Subsequently, the coalition expelled or co-opted all the Greeks who had finally reached the Purple Room on the peninsula.

Mainly more than 2,000 Greeks are scattered in the Central Italian region.

Of these, Bran took out some experienced sailors and left them behind, and the others were put back on the mainland.

And what to do with the other allies who were assigned to the Greeks was not Bran's concern.

The army then returned to Florence and a treaty was signed.

The giants' sea power in the Mediterranean Sea was simply distributed.

The reason why it is said to be a simple distribution is because neither Bran nor Chai Su has complied with the plan.

Now there are difficulties for each other, and it's not good to tear your face.

When both sides are relieved, there are only two endings at that time, Bran Shangluo and Chaisu Northern Expedition.

On the day Bran entered Florence, the port of Meate was crowded.

The prestige of this battle will bring him infinite rewards - prestige and faith.

As he entered the port, Bran asked Arnold to follow him.

As a warrior who slain giants, Arnold is a great hero.

This arrangement is understandable, but in the next appearance, the heroes began to compete for the order.

Simon's support for Amb's faction overpowered Desley, and this scene became the second hero.

When entering the port, the knights of the city defense prepared horses for the nobles who were about to go on a tour.

Angbu rode on his horse and took the lead in chanting hooray, making the scene hottest.

Grand Duke Howard also came at this time, and behind him was Bran's wife, Zoe.

The group will meet Bran in the square.

Little Bie is newlywed, and Zoe thinks so much about Bran.

But Grandfather is still there, and there are still many eyes watching, and she must remain noble.

Noble.....

But when she saw Bran, she almost cried out, and the tears flowed uncontrollably.
