The two Mikawas were greatly restricted in the Bran camp, and they were followed wherever they went, and they were taken care of by them.

Bran asked Simon to write a friendly letter for the messenger to bring back, and prepared paper, silverware, crystal, and other items, and sent three servants to ride horses, and went with them to the port to take a boat to the Three Rivers.

The date of the founding of the Duchy of Milan is getting closer.

In the Italian peninsula, as long as the nobles above the earl level knew about it.

Since the détente with Venice, Dandoro's diplomatic intelligence officers in Venice have played a better role.

The cargo ships to and from Venice bring the latest news from the Purple Room to Bran.

Shehir hid on the Greek island, and later had to send a navy to rescue the Twelve Islands at the request of his navy.

But the cronies he sent were incompetent in command, and they clashed with the original local nobles, resulting in another defeat, and more than 400 of his men were captured.

The Knights Hospitaller Navy, defeated by King Lionheart, sent people to the Greek island to ask Sehir for the reward promised by the previous giants for defending the island, as well as reinforcements.

But Shehir didn't recognize the accounts of these Illuminati.

They were forced to join forces with Blackbeard to launch pirates in the Three Rivers region and off the coast of Athens on the pretext of breaking the contract.

If Bran's strength allows, he really wants to make this trip to the waters.

But for now, guarding against Western and Southern European forces was the main thing, and Bran ordered all the ships of the Duchy of Milan to keep a low profile.

And hurry up the time to make a new duchy coat of arms and various costumes and seals, and advance the succession ceremony by ten days.

Bran also sent a softer letter to the Slovenians.

The previous closure of mountains and seas is no longer applicable.

The Western Balkans are a mix of forces and full of gunpowder.

It used to be okay, but now the territory is starting to border.

Bran also made up for some of the princes' families in this place.

After the Dark Ages, the eastern powers fought here for a time, even as far north as Hungary and Austria.

That's why the people of the Western Balkans have traditionally practiced nomadism.

The Zoroastrian faith, which can be intermarried, also flowed into the Abbasid region for a time when it was at its strongest.

Later, they were influenced by Nordic polytheism.

In the year of the Northern Fury, the Viking Odin faith also followed the Viking pirates to rob Venice and the castle, and then entered here.

After a crusade, the Illuminati and Orthodox lords of the Western Balkans arose and became the two main streams.

This territory currently has more than 200,000 square kilometers.

There are also many independent nobles like the mountain people.

They are especially protective of foreign invaders.

The Byzantines regarded it as an imperial backyard, but did not fully control the Orthodox lords here.

The scriptures of the Illuminati and the Orthodox Church here have derived their own interpretations.

For the people in this area, most of them agree that it is the orthodoxy and authority of the two religions.

They felt that there were only a few verses that differed from the way they were baptized, so there were monarchs who made a pilgrimage to Rome and also went to the castle to make offerings to the patriarch.

There is a city in the city, and there is a country in the country, scattered sand, but it is close.

Bran decided to sort out all the forces here once and then make a plan for the future.

At present, Bran's power basically covers the northern Italian region below the Alps, Venice (military and economic alliance), the three kingdoms of China and Italy, and some islands in the Asian Caspian Sea.

Chaisu was given a part of southern Italy that had previously been occupied by the giants, as well as the eastern part of the Principality of Africa, the island of Malta below Sicily, and a 10,000-square-kilometer piece of land in the Byzantine region of Libya.

Between the two, in terms of the navy, Chai Su has suffered heavy losses, and if he fights with himself now, the two are on the same level and even Bran is even better.

But in terms of the army, there are more than 10,000 people in Chaisuduo.

However, the territory of Africa is divided by the Mediterranean Sea, and two-thirds of it is distributed around the coastline of North Africa.

The speed of mobilization of troops is not as fast as its own.

Now this alliance, Bran is still maintaining a while, he wants to give Chaisu a face, Bran sent a letter to the Holy See.

The letter argues that North Africa has been the legal doctrine of Cissy since ancient times, and finds out the ancestral genealogy of Chaisu, pointing out which generation the ancestors of their Mimuan family once established castles in North Africa.

Written half-truths and half-falsehoods, Bran wants to hold Chai Su to a high point.

"Since the beginning of time, the princes of North Africa have remembered the glory of God, and His Highness Chaisu has expelled the infidels and ruled North Africa, so that millions of people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the Duke is not enough to show his wisdom, ability, and virtue."

He was a noble man, the noble emperor of Italy, and I sincerely hope that he will lead us to fill the world with the voice of God.

Therefore, he begged the Holy See to make him the patron of North Africa, king of Africa. ”

He is a noble emperor, but he does not mean that he is the king of Italy.

Because Bran, the king of Italy, is what Bran wants, this North African guardian, has a good reputation, there are no light forces in that place, only some knights, baronies, all of which are left over from the Second Crusade.

North Africa is not under the legal principles of the Bright World, and it is far away, even if it is given to the North African emperor of Chaisu.

The king of Africa could not control northern Italy, and Rome was chaisu, so he did not lose anything by believing in his own faith.

Exalt the enemy, and the enemy's enemy will appear.

As for who this enemy is, let time tell.

After Bran had finished writing the letter, Hilde's men from Rome appeared and respectfully presented a letter.

Bran took a look, only to realize that he had no money again.

In order to fight the war, he had already raised taxes twice, not counting the additional taxes imposed by his subordinates in his fiefdoms.

The battle was won thanks to a temporary infusion of the Venetian treasury, as well as the profits from the ships, the ransom of the captives, and the income from the protection of the sea, and the confidence of the noble creditors.

Otherwise, Bran felt that he might be assassinated.

There are still a lot of creditors, city debts, Roman debts, and letters that Bran borrowed from his subordinates in his own name before the war, and Bran is now also in debt.

He even had a bad idea, and took the coinage, lowered its quality, and seized the wealth of the people.

Money, talent, territory, and desire are increasing day by day.

Bran used to feel that human nature was good, but now he feels that it is fundamentally evil.

The greater the power, the easier it is to highlight evil.

Among the seven good and seven evils of the Illuminati Sect.

From chastity to humility, each of the Seven Virtues is difficult to possess, and it is difficult to last a lifetime to conceive.

From lust to arrogance, the seven evils are easily generated by trivial things, and they cannot be lifted and lost until death.

He wants to make a fortune with the recovery of coinage, which is "greed".

wants to develop by fighting, regardless of the safety of his subordinates.

Being more picky about food is also a kind of "gluttony".

Because of Carol and Jack's death, he was "angry" many times.

To be regarded as the evil government of Angbu in the territory is the "laziness" of the lord.

Laura's pitiful face floated in her heart "lust".

For the brave Timur martial arts, there is also "jealousy".

There is a legend in the Illuminati that when a person has both evil and evil, he is the embodiment of the "son of the devil".

And when this person also blasphemes the scriptures and commits blasphemy, he is the reincarnation of the "Demon King".

Beelzebub......

Bran suddenly asked the messenger, "What do you say, what evaluation will I get someday?"

"Your Highness is now a heroic crusader and a guardian of the light who has defeated the Orthodox Christians and saved Rome from invasion and civil strife."

Again, the same kind of compliment, Bran nodded.

A mere hero of the bright world?

Even the giants fell on my sword, what else I couldn't do!

Man is not God, there is no divinity, only human nature.

Since then, the arrogance of one of the seven evils has followed Bran throughout his life.

He is still humble and courteous to his subordinates, but in his blood and bones, as his power grows, he will be the master of everything and the master of his subordinates.

It's such a good feeling that Bran doesn't even feel it's a drawback.

"Go down."

Bran was alone in the room, waiting quietly, only by the sound of the wind.

He didn't leave the room, he was going to see someone from Rome.

An ascetic who had been a knight.
