"Our route this time is through the Alps, through a narrow corridor between the Bavarian Alps and the Julian Alps, then from Intal to Outer Austria, and after a few days' walk, we will reach Vienna."

Under a bean-like lamp, the well-fed Andrea Ucho and Giannotto were talking about something, and Giannotto first introduced the general situation to Andrea Ucio,

"According to the information we have received, the Republic of San Marco in the northern Adriatic Sea has not long ago expelled the emissaries sent by His Majesty the Emperor, and their relations with us are really not good, otherwise we could have landed in Slovenia by sea and then gone to Vienna, but now we can only hope that the gods of the Alps will be merciful and not suddenly encounter a blizzard."

Giannotto was pessimistic about this, the Alps are covered with snow all year round, and although the Eastern Alps are relatively low, they are also insurmountable.

"And the indigenous people of the Alps, and that's one of the things we need to pay attention to, most of them don't believe in Christ, they believe in the gods of the ancient mountains, and if they show hostility towards us, we need to be prepared."

On the map in front of Giannotto, some dangerous places were marked, a bear, a knife, and a large octopus in the sea could be seen, and it seemed that the entire area around the Eastern Alps was included, which was relatively good in this era.

"With all due respect, are we going to Vienna with just a few of us?"

Andrea Ucho couldn't help but ask, if the road is really difficult, then these people are really not enough to see, not to mention anything else, just in the Alps, they may not be able to get by.

"Not only that, but there are others,"

Giannotto shook his head and denied Andrea Ucho's claim,

"Viscount Bernabo has also recruited a team of mercenaries, because this time it is a war with the Bohemians, the mercenaries in Bohemia are obviously unreliable, this time it is the Italian mercenaries, they are still on the way, and they will join us in Trento, we only need to escort the viscount to Trento to be basically safe."

Andrei Ucho nodded, relieved of some of his doubts.

"As you can see, in our team, the one who is dressed in a vassal style is the viscount's butler, the thinner man is the viscount's advocate, and the old man is the viscount's servant, and there are only you and me who can fight in the team."

Ignoring Andrea Ucho's surprise and inexplicability, Giannotto continued,

"But considering that we only need to cross this mountain range to get to Trento, we won't encounter too many dangers on the way, and we just need to pay attention to the problems of the indigenous people."

Since Giannotto thought about it in such detail, Andrea Ucho had nothing to say, and in this case, Andrea Ucho immediately agreed with Giannotto's statement, and the two sides immediately reached a consensus.

"So, we just need to prepare the equipment for the mountaineering, right?"

"Yes, in addition to that, we need a guide, otherwise we will be in a desperate situation if we get lost in the mountains."

Giannotto's words and deeds are so reliable that Andrea Ucho unknowingly treats the other party as a brother-like figure.

However, this proposal made Andrei Ucho difficult, a slightly better fur coat cost at least five gold florins, not to mention more expensive, but this mere five gold florins made Andrea Ucho at a loss, thinking about it, and couldn't think of any good way, so he could only ask Giannotto again,

"My dear brother Giannotto, do you know where wild beasts are infestation?"

Giannotto looked up suspiciously, his eyebrows full of puzzlement,

"Why do you ask this? Not full? ”

"No, it's just that if you want to climb over the snowy mountains, it's not enough to have a good fur coat, and although I don't have the money, I'm willing to use my own hands to make a fur coat for myself to withstand the cold of the Alps."

Giannotto understood, and was about to point to Andrea Ucho, when a chuckle came,

"It doesn't have to be this way, Andrei Ucho, I've got you covered."

The two turned their heads to look and saw that it was Viscount Bernabo standing on the steps looking at them, and Andrea Ucho quickly stood up,

"How dare that? Your Excellency, how can I be so embarrassed to accept your gift? ”

"You're welcome, Andrei Ucho, you deserve it, after all, in my eyes, a coat is not as important as my life, I just need you to do your best to do your job, I will arrange the rest, if you need anything, you can tell me, of course I will not be stingy with this."

With that, Bernabo talked about the rest of the measures, and Andrea Ucho also knew that everything was arranged, so he also relaxed and stayed quietly and did not speak.

"When we arrive in Trento, we have to meet the Archbishop of Trento, the great diocese of God in the Alps, and as a foreign nobleman, I have to deal with it,"

Bernabo is talking to Giannotto, which shows that Giannotto's identity is not simple,

"After meeting up with the mercenaries from Genoa, we turned east, and then headed all the way to Vienna, where we found a guide who could help us not get lost in the vast mountains, so we don't have to worry about that."

Giannotto nodded first, then shook his head,

"Are you sure you're looking for a reliable guide? No offense, my lord, but out of caution and responsibility, I would like to remind you of this. ”

"Of course, I have asked him all in the city of Intar, and he is a reliable and respectable man, and he will certainly be able to perform his duties as a guide well."

Since Viscount Bernabo swears, then Giannotto will not say more, although he doesn't know if it is reliable or not, but it is not a good idea to anger the Viscount at this time.

"If everything is ready, should we go as soon as possible? If you wait for a long time, will His Majesty the Emperor blame him? ”

Giannotto has a different view from Andrea Ucho,

"No, let's wait for the weather to get warmer, then the mountain trail is better, and as long as we can get to Vienna within this year, we won't be too late."

Viscount Bernabeau apparently agreed with Giannotto, and he shook his huge fat head in satisfaction, and his ears seemed to fan,

"Just follow Giannotto's advice, but not too late, we'll set off in a week, and you'll be able to get acquainted with the situation in the mountains again these days."

As he spoke, he was a little sleepy, and the Viscount prepared to leave step by step, leaving Andrei Ucho and Giannotto alone.

"Then tell you about our route, starting from Intar, we pass through the Brenner Pass, which was established by the ancient Romans, and it is relatively smooth, and then we enter the mountains, and from the mountains to the south, we go over another mountain, we can reach Trento, the main problem is to go over the mountains, nothing else, this week you can go around, learn about the Alps, or go directly into the mountains, but we will definitely leave in a week, If you don't come back, we won't wait for you. ”

After warning Andrei Ucho, Giannotto saw that the other party was responding, so he got up, blew out the lights, and went back to rest on his own.

There are not many roads in the Alps, and now it still retains the glory of the Roman Empire, several important passes were opened during the Roman Empire, and they are still in use today, but few people maintain them, because of the loss of a major political power, many avenues during the Roman Empire have been abandoned, over the years, only the Holy See will pay for the maintenance of these passes from time to time, in addition, the orders and monasteries in various places are also the main force in building roads and bridges, from these aspects, the church still has the need for its existence,

Of course, this should have nothing to do with the Order's excessive amount of money, after all, as long as you are willing to spend, luxury is definitely a big deal, and the role of the ascetic team in the church should not be overlooked, these people are still relatively religious and holy, and they are also very disgusted by extravagance.

"O great St. Julian! Convey my humble wishes to the Lord and protect me from achieving my ideals on this journey, and I will always remember God and your teachings, and in this way God can show your great power to bring the lost back in time. ”

Andrea Uggio secretly prayed that although St. Julien was a saint prevalent in Sicily and Sardinia, it was not surprising that there would be his followers in the distant Alps, no matter where Andrea Uggio knew the name of this saint, but he firmly believed that this saint could give him inexplicable strength to help him survive in the treacherous mountains.

Simply packed his bags, Andrei Ucho was going to go to the vicinity of the Brona Pass to investigate the situation, and there would be a response if he was prepared, although what Giannotto said was good, but if he didn't see it himself, Andrea Ucho was still not at ease, but it was getting late today, and it was not too late to set off early tomorrow morning, anyway, this viscount also arranged a room for accommodation, and there was no shortage of time for such a night.

What happened in the European world, or in Christendom, was always closely related to life, and the struggle between Laszló and Frederick III affected not only the inhabitants of the Alps, but also in Northern Europe and the British Isles, where the seriousness of the situation was positively correlated with the connections of the people, and not only the likes of André Ucho and Landorford, but also nobles such as Bernabo.

Some people died, but not completely......
