Several times before, Bran came to him, didn't say anything strange, just chatted quietly, and when the time came for the sun to go down, Bran would let him go back.

After a few times, Lola gradually got used to it.

This time in the High Court, in Bran's study, after Laura saluted, Bran let her stay aside, there was a cubicle in the study, and there was a room in it, with food, drink, books, and needlework.

Lola knows it well, and every time she comes here, as long as Bran is busy, she waits here.

This room can also be seen to receive sunlight penetrating.

The warm weather, the wind blowing, and after waiting too long, Lola suddenly fell asleep.

When she woke up again, it was already dusk, and Lola rearranged her appearance.

Then she waited until Bran had finally stopped using the quills before she walked out of the room.

"Your Highness."

"Are you awake?"

"Forgive me for my faux pas...... Your Highness, it's not too early, so I'll leave first. ”

Looking at the light outside, Bran nodded, "Let's have dinner together." ”

It's happened before, so Laura nodded in agreement.

But this time Bran was dining in his study.

The servant quickly brought the table and pieced together a place for the two to eat.

Twelve dishes are served to Bran and Lola.

Lola ate absentmindedly, while Bran didn't eat much, and then rewarded the next person.

During the meal, the two did not have much contact.

Laura didn't know what Bran was thinking, saying that he wanted to touch himself, and he must have thought of it, but he didn't act all this time......

"Your Highness, I'm full, then I'll retire first."

"Wait for me."

“!”

Laura thinks she's misheard.

Bran wiped the corners of his mouth, held up a glass of wine, and said, "Drink it."

Lola has not been drinking alcohol for a long time.

But Bran does not allow others to reject him, especially the person he shelters, which is either love or sudden desire.

Lola, under the pleading of her parents and the future of her younger brother, has long forced herself to accept it.

But Bran's sudden demeanor still scared Laura.

"Your Highness, I am a woman with a husband."

"I know, so I'm going to take good care of you for Jack, you come closer."

Bran's order left Lola at no idea what to do.

"Come here."

Lola's legs and feet, slowly obeying because they were afraid.

Bran felt too majestic and strong for a woman to dodge.

In the study, Bran lightly untied Luo's skirt, and Lola was too shy to look at it.

Among the lovers, there are those who are tender like water, those who are bold, those who are docile, and those who are pungent.

Bran is like collecting things, for all kinds of women, into the harem.

For the first twenty years of his life, he controlled his desires.

Now, he has reached the point where he does not need to look up to anyone and squander his desires.

"In the future, you are not Jack's deceased wife, I will let an adopted son inherit his status and surname, take care of his grave, and one day in the future, when the Charman family is still alive, Jack's grave will still be maintained and repaired by Charman's servants."

Bran pounced on Lola.

Laura's outfit became an enemy and a target.

The short swing on the arm, which is Swabian, take off, clear.

Hair ornaments, which are Tunisian, remove and clear.

Close-fitting silk garment, which is Roman, removed, cleared.

The garments (the enemies) were removed by Bran one by one, until the best of the Promised Lands remained.

Bran fingers Lola's heart.

"Your Highness!"

"I'm going to change the world, do you see? Laura, I have a sword on my shoulder, a holy sword given to me by God, and when it is swung, it does everything. ”

Don't rush.

Lola welcomes the third man in her life.

The first man hurts himself, the second man loves himself, and the third man will dominate himself.

Outside the study, Zoe's eyes were full of tears, and then she slowly stepped back, she didn't open the door, this is a woman's life.

She didn't let the tears fall, and her son Henry cleverly held his mother's little hand.

"Mother, in the future, I, a wife, okay? Just one. ”

Zoe took her son's hand and left the study.

Four-year-old little Henry hummed a newly learned tune, a Byzantine ballad.

"The sun began to shine, and the evening star went to bed with the moon, and I got up and reclined against a rose......"

......

Bran conquered Lola, and when he was done, the woman became his trophy, a treasure.

And his grandfather, Howard, in Venice, began to pamper Mi'er while sweeping away dissidents.

The Grand Duke then stayed in Venice for two months, and Mi'er slept every day.

Soon, Mi'er became the Grand Duke's favorite lover for nearly thirty years.

The Grand Duke took Mier's mother, Pella, to Venice and asked him to reorganize the Judits in Venice.

The Grand Duke's excessive favor made some nobles and clergy feel uneasy, and there were many dissatisfied.

Originally, he expected that the Grand Duke's return to his homeland would bring changes to Venice, but he didn't expect that not only did it not, but the Grand Duke also ordered the reopening of the Juddish bank and sent soldiers to protect it.

and agreed to a request that Bran had not agreed to before, so that they could openly celebrate, sacrifice, and build the temple of Juta.

The Judits are derived from, but distinct from, the Illuminati.

Although it is not ostracized by the Illuminati like the polytheistic cult, now that Bran is also reusing the Visionary Priesthood, fanatical believers can't bear it.

In particular, the Grand Duke swept Venice and arrested forty priests involved in the case.

Suddenly, Milan was divided into two power centers.

Take Howard of Venice, and Bran of Milan.

Bran has soldiers in his hands, army factions, and noble rewards, all of which come from himself.

If Bran nodded, the Grand Duke would not be able to exercise much power.

Thus, a second round of persecution against the Judits was launched.

This time led by the Visionary Priesthood.

Fernando, one of the main leaders, personally came to the High Court to state the pros and cons to Bran.

Fernando is now a priest and knight in command of eight thousand clerics.

Bran also treated him with the courtesy of an earl.

In this southern expedition, the Phantom Priesthood also made a great effort, and politely refused the reward, so that Bran could give priority to other people's requests, so Bran still owed a favor.

Seeing Fernando come in person, Bran probably understood something.

But Fernando demanded more than Bran thought, and he wanted to trade with Bran.

"Your Highness, at this time, the south has not yet been pacified, and heresy is flourishing in the territory, which is not a good thing. I hope that our agreement will not be affected in the first place. ”

"Don't worry, we have cooperated very well in the past two years, many people have believed in your order, your name has appeared in the major dioceses, and I even heard that the order of the Holy City also wants to meet with you."

"It doesn't matter, Rome is the core, our priests in Franks have sent back information, you should also know that the Duke of Aquitaine has been besieged for three months, I think this year will surrender to the gatebreakers, we need to take advantage of this time difference to unify the peninsula and rekindle the holy flame of St. Ben in Rome."

"You also participated in the Southern Expedition, you see, Yi'an controls Nanyi very well."

"There is no castle in the world that cannot be attacked, as long as you are willing to sacrifice, no matter how high the fortress is, it can be fallen."

"What do you want?"

"Let the priests disguise themselves as civilians, enter Rome to ambush, and then dispatch the Seven Martial Seas to attack Rome.

Our army is strong, and we are bordering the enemy, and the enemy will definitely think that we will fight by land, and if we continue to take the sea route this time, the coastline is so long, the enemy has no defense, and it will be a surprise. ”

"Do you know how much labor it costs to re-dispatch ships, carpentry, and detect ocean currents by sea?"

"Because the cost is too heavy, the enemy does not expect it. Money can be re-accumulated, and if it is not enough, it will be taxed. Nothing is more important than the retrieval of Rome, which has every day in the hands of these ungodly people, and every day in which there is more evil in the world. ”

"If the details sent into the ambush are discovered, they may end up ......"

"It's up to us to figure out how to do this, they are all tight-lipped and we will use Rome's intelligence network to disperse them, and His Highness will increase his troops on the one hand, pretending to attack the city of Chitai and hold Yi'an, but in fact, the army has already been approaching Rome."

"Then impose taxes, levy another wave, and everything is for the sake of a bright world." Bran was moved.

Fernando added, "The Pope will be the Visionary, Your Highness, and the Judites will be converted, and the territory will exercise diocesan autonomy." ”

Fernando wanted to make Rome independent and be at the mercy of Milan, but with his own personnel, finances, and military powers, equal to the existence of a state within a state.

This is also the condition for Fernando, who is now using all his strength to get Bran on the throne.

Time is precious, and if you go to Luo a day earlier, you will be stronger against Frank in the future.

Bran eventually agreed, and subsequently participated in the baptism of the Visionary Troupe, and the icon swore to the above conditions, and wrote an autograph.

And the choice of the Pope, Bran already roughly knew that Fernando would take over personally!

Fernando I.

Fernando himself had even figured out his honorific name and used his own name.

The Papal State is about to restore the earth.

As a result, the armistice on the Sino-Italian border was held less than two months ago.

The man who the lords agreed to disarm and return was instantly forced into battle again.

Bran wanted the city of Rome, no matter how broken, strong, desolate, or prosperous.

Bran sent a letter to the Seven Martial Seas, Blackbeard, Kidd, and the Turkic Sword, and the three pirates came in response.

Blackbeard heard that Rome was going to be beaten, and the response was the most enthusiastic.

Kidd too, but the Turks from afar are useful for pinning down the Trois-Rivières.

In exchange for an enclave, Bran gave them a small island on the outskirts of Central Italy as a supply point.

This battle was the same as the last battle of Tongxia, and all the cargo ships in the country were used to load people.

The iron ware in the country was also almost wiped out by Bran.

The pre-action took a month and a half.

Then the news of Bran's transfer of 20,000 troops spread to southern Italy.

Yi An succeeded in defending last time, and he spent a lot of money to reward the soldiers, thinking that within this year, Bran would have a small fight at most, and he would have time to solve the problems of Rome, but it was only a few dozen days, and Bran used the method of overdrawing the national strength to kill again.

The reward sent out by Yi An could not be recovered, and he could only requisition supplies again, and this time there were many complaints in the city of Rome.

Yi An also recruited 15,000 soldiers into the perimeter of the city of Kita, thirty miles away from Bran.

The campfire raised by Bran's men was spectacular at night.

Yi An even guessed, this is afraid of 30,000? Thirty-five thousand?

Bran didn't move, and Yi An didn't want to go out and provoke, and Yi An was not attacked by the Milanes for fifteen days.

It's just a few times in the middle that there are small scout matchups.

Yi An was very strange, he sent people to investigate, this time, the northwest, the front of the battlefield, and even other trails, did not see the Milanese.

Even if the other party sneaks in like last time, it is impossible to break it into pieces to this point, right?

When Yi An thinks in the wrong direction, the initiative is held by Bran.

Yi'an seeks stability and does not come out of the position.

But beyond the ocean, the wind and clouds surge.

The pirates, along with Milan's navy, passed through the sea off Rome strongly.

After the early hours of the morning, the sailors slowly came into view from the outer harbor.

They were hung with many kinds of flags, one of which, the White Dragon Flag, came from friendly neighbors in the north.

"There is no forgiveness for those who stand in the way."

Bran did not bother to preserve the Roman bricks and tiles, and sought to take them by the fastest means possible.

The pirates wanted to break the city and rob everyone, and the knights of the Milan army wanted to make a contribution.

Originally, according to Rome's defense, Bran sent 30,000 navies, but they couldn't capture it.

However, after the death of Chai Su, the division of the country, and the dispatch of the main force to Kitai City.

The defenses off the coast of Rome were extremely weak.

In addition, the Milanese even went around in a circle, risking the danger of hitting the reef, and walked without sticking to the shore, and it took three times as long to go around to the sea off the coast of Rome.

Unprepared for the Roman army, seven ships were destroyed in an instant.

Although a counteroffensive was organized on the shore.

But the Phantom Troupe, which had been ambushed in Rome, haunted the harbor to respond.

There were only about 500 people, but they had faith in their hearts and were not afraid of death.

They set fires near the harbor and spread rumors.

Eventually, the Romans were forced to abandon the outer harbor and retreat to the defensive.

Fifteen thousand Milanese and the combined army of pirates landed in Rome on this day.

All places related to the Illuminati are not allowed to be destroyed, and other places have been invaded to a great extent.

All roads lead to Rome, and the city of Rome has nineteen main roads leading to the Papalazzo.

On this day, fierce fighting broke out on all sixteen roads.

He was once a brother of a fellow believer, but now he thinks of each other as an infidel.

The truth is in the heart, and the holy sword is at the waist,

Killing the enemy shows bravery, and righteousness accompanies me all my life,

The voice of the Lord bless us, bless us.

Return to the Holy Land (Rome), return to the Holy Land.

The Song of the Roman Temple sounded in the Milanese army.

The Milanese were mad, and they were instructed before they set out on the expedition, which was the great feat of the Belgian Crusades.

"Take it, take it!"

It was originally agreed not to hurt the temple, but after the Roman army found out that the temple would not be attacked by the Milanese army, they took advantage of this point to deal a blow to the Milanese.

In this case, there was no need for any prior agreement, and the Milanese and pirates ignored the advice of the Order.

Whoever dares to hurt himself will break into it himself, and even almost start a civil war.

In this battle, Bran personally dragged Yi An and made him believe that his main force was still there, but in fact there were only more than 2,000 people.

Four thousand pirates were dispatched, nine thousand were dispatched by the Milan army, more than two thousand were priests, and another five thousand were sent by the logistics army.

On the day of the battle in Rome, Yi An suddenly had a premonition, so he made a slightly bold attempt to leave the city with a large army, wanting to test it well.

But as soon as he went out, he found that Bran was in the rear position, and the two thousand men had dug a large number of trenches and arrow towers.

Is this a clear stalemate?

Yi An endured it for a long time, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became.

So he also took a risk and took people directly to rush, only to find out that Bran was all a showman, and he didn't even want the camp, so he kept retreating.

As a result, Yi An won a big victory, but with Bran's sphere of influence in front of him, he couldn't get past it.

Yi An realized that when you don't know your opponent's intentions, then protect your most important thing.

He took people back to Rome overnight, and this time, the pigs and sheep had changed color.

And Bran hasn't been with Yi An all the time.

When Bran found that Yi An was retreating, the counts of Central Italy, the supporting knight troops had already arrived, but they had not been on the battlefield, and they had retreated thirty miles to ambush, and if Yi An chased after him, he would be surrounded by Bran.

Seeing that Yi An retreated, the count's army was ordered to follow by Bran, and the army once again bypassed the city of Chitai and went straight to Rome.

Both sides were scrambling for time, and this time Bran went deep into Rome, mostly cavalry, and almost all the horses in his territory were used on the battlefield this time.

Bran followed first, and the main cavalry rushed into Nanyi, followed by the infantry behind.

The war was devastating to civilians, and it was also devastating to Rome.
