Chapter 214: News from the Chaos

"Huh"

The dull blade of the blade brought a wave of sound, although the blade is not visible, but unless there is a huge disparity, the battle often does not depend on the quality of the equipment, but on the skill of its owner.

"Bell"

The iron-clad round shield stopped the slightly rusty knife and bounced it back.

Andrei Ucho's face was covered with sweat, although the three people on the other side were outnumbered, but they were out of order, so he could barely support it in a short time, but after a long time, the disadvantage on his side was obvious,

Exhausted,

Andrei Ucho secretly complained, unconsciously moving backwards, and as for his back to the goods, there was no place to move,

With a tilt of his head, he flashed an attacking knife, and Andrei Ucho didn't dare to roll on the spot, but took advantage of the fact that the other party's knife was stuck in the exquisite dresser plank, and gave the other party a knife, only to hear the sound of flesh and blood being cut, the other party directly took the knife out of his hand, covered the wound under the ribs and began to wail, and Andrei Ucho took advantage of the situation to shift his position, and was about to guard against the other party to continue, but saw the other party stop, and said something, and heard Andrei Ucho confused,

However, Andrei Ucho just took this opportunity to rest for a while, since the other party was not in a hurry, then he was not in a hurry, just when he saw the other party's movements and wanted to raise the shield again, he saw that the other four abandoned their companions who were still wailing, and they were gone, and they disappeared after a while.

"Strange, what's going on?"

Watching Giannotto walk towards him, Andrea Ucho was dazed.

"I don't know, but it's a good thing for us, at least we've survived tonight's catastrophe, and thank you to the Virgin Mary for not putting us in danger."

Giannotto breathed a sigh of relief, and it was a good thing for him.

"They may not be Germans, Giannotto, I don't understand what they're saying, and I've heard them say a lot of things before I leave."

The man who was lying on the ground with his foot was probably Andrea Ucho's knife that had hurt the other man's heart, and it had only been a long time since his breathing had gradually weakened to the point that he could barely be heard.

"They're Burgundians."

The viscount got out of the carriage at this time, and there was no more anger on his face,

"I know what they say, Burgundian, a language that neither the French nor the Germans understand, they are definitely from Burgundy, could it be that the 'good man' Duke Philip was also involved in the war?"

Bernabo muttered to himself that the arrival of the Burgundians in Tyrol meant that if Philip chose to help Frederick III, it would be very good news for the princes of the Holy Roman Empire.

"Your Excellency, what do you hear? Did they say anything? ”

In the face of Andrea Ucho's curious questions, Bernabo is also about to say something to relieve his anxiety.

"A knight of the Golden Fleece came to Innsbruck, they didn't dare to make too much of a fuss, and they said that they were going to follow the knight of the Golden Fleece to establish a meritorious service, strange, how did the knight of the Golden Fleece come here?"

The Knights of the Golden Fleece, composed of the winners of the Order of the Golden Fleece, a total of thirty people, the status is extremely respected in the entire European continent, this knighthood was established by the 'good man' Philip III, and the target is the Knight of the Garter Order of England, but because of the privileges given by Philip III to the knights of the Golden Fleece, the knights of the Golden Fleece and the knights of the round table of King Arthur are no different, and the power is very large, so the status is very high,

Because of the wealth of the Duchy of Burgundy, the knights of the Golden Fleece are also relatively strong in financial resources and powerful, so the place where the knights of the Golden Fleece are located is generally considered to be victorious, which is based on material conditions.

The appearance of the Knight of the Golden Fleece in Bernabeau's mouth obviously brought some shock to Andreu Ucho, but since he often heard about Constantine's glorious deeds these days, he has a lot more immunity to this kind of thing.

What does this mean? Will the Knights of the Golden Fleece follow the same route as us? Does that mean we might run into him on the road? ”

"No, boy, that means if we don't get to Vienna soon, maybe the war will be over soon, and we'll be in vain this time."

Bernabo looked at Giannotto, what was going on in his head,

"When we get to Trento, I'll get all the goods, and then we'll leave for Vienna at once, without further delay."

Giannotto secretly rejoiced in his heart, which was a good thing, because it was still too difficult to ensure Bernabo's safety on the way, and it would be better to get rid of it sooner.

The situation will not necessarily get better, become as good as Bernabo thought, the appearance of the knights of the Golden Fleece does not mean that the whole European continent is against Laszlo, at least, the Pope has not moved, and even Frederick III is still in Regensburg, although there have been some changes in Vienna, but Laszlo's main force is still not damaged, the Bohemian Reformation is still in full swing, the morale of the army is high, and the support of the people for Laszlo is also very high, on the contrary, The all-Hungarian parliament in Pest was very hesitant in this matter, and although it accepted the Prague Religious Agreement at the first time, it was far from being so dedicated in practice.

Trento, Trento Cathedral,

"Your Excellency, what I have brought this time is all good things from Germany, you see, they are made by the best craftsmen in Germany, and this is worth the money."

"Needless to say, Your Excellency the Viscount, I don't need any of this, and I don't want to know any of this, the Order of St. Benedict doesn't revere these luxurious utensils, you know."

The Bishop of Trento was arguing with Bernabo, and he regretted that Bernarbo's attempt to sell his goods had failed.

"I wonder what His Excellency the Viscount came to Trento to do? Was it to participate in the war waged by Emperor Frederick? ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, I am preparing to go from here to Vienna, do you have any good advice for me?"

Since the business could not be done, Bernabo was not interested, and after a few polite responses, he was ready to retreat.

"I have only one piece of advice, don't hire Genoese into battle, it's not a good thing for us."

“????”

Bernabeaumont, old boy, you did it on purpose, right? You know I'm hiring a Genoese... Wrong.

"What does the bishop mean?"

Since the other party said such a thing, there must be something hidden in it, to be honest, there is really something in it that he doesn't know.

"The Genoese have just announced their break with Emperor Frederick and refused to pay gold to Regensburg, and some nobles have already done the same, and this matter has caused Emperor Frederick's great dissatisfaction, and not long ago Emperor Frederick's plenipotentiary envoy has just passed through Trento and gone to Rome, and it is this question that he wants to discuss, and if nothing else, the Pope should take punitive measures on this matter, and if you want to make a difference on the battlefield of Emperor Frederick, it is better not to rely on the Genoese."

The sudden news shocked Bernabo not lightly, and Genoa rebelled? Why? Why are they? How dare they, the point is... He's hired a Genoese mercenary!!

"Has His Majesty the Emperor ever imposed an imperial ban on Genoa? Has the definitive instrument been issued? ”

Bernabo was very anxious, this matter was not sloppy, if he not only did not make a contribution on the battlefield, but committed the taboo of the emperor, it would be a big loss.

Bishop Trento shook his head, did not explain, did not know whether it was unclear or not issued,

"The Pope was also very annoyed by the actions of the Genoeans, because the Holy Father also wanted the whole European world to unite to eliminate the heresy in Prague, and he obviously did not want something out of his control at this time, and the Genoese army could directly threaten the commercial interests of the city of Rome, and that was enough."

That is, it threatens commerce and trade, if you really let the Genoese make an armed pilgrimage and enter Rome, it is estimated that the other party will not have the courage, that is, except for the Holy Roman Emperor, who is almost the top nobles in Europe, how dare the rest of the people make an armed pilgrimage, not everyone is qualified to make an armed pilgrimage.

Knowing in his heart that the Pope's ban on Genoese was already a sure thing, Bernabo abandoned his illusions in time, and since this was the case, then he had to find a way back.

"We have to find a way to get back the deposit that was given to the Genoans, and we can't waste it in vain."

Bernabo secretly calculated the method in his heart, no matter what, those Genoese people should not be in debt, otherwise where is the credibility of Genoese people?

While Bernabo was engrossed in his thoughts, a priest came to the lobby where the two were talking, and without looking at Bernabo, walked straight to the bishop, and said something in the other's ear, causing the other to nod his head.

"Lord Bernarbo, I have a new message for you now,"

After motioning for the priest to leave, the bishop's face suddenly became serious, and he interrupted Bernabor's thoughts in a loud voice,

"His Majesty the Holy Father has issued a ban on the Genoans not to allow commercial trade between Christians and them, and has ordered the urban settlements to disarm the Genoese in the city and keep them under strict guard, even if you want to rely on the Genoese armed forces now, you can't do it now, and I will go to the city now to carry out the orders of His Majesty the Pope, and I will not accompany you anymore."

With that, without giving the other party any chance to interject at all, and ignoring Bernabor's stunned look, the bishop hurriedly left the place, leaving Bernarbo here.

The Pope really issued a ban, which surprised Bernabor, the Genoans did not directly fire at the Pope, but aimed at Frederick III's taxation behavior, but now the Pope's behavior is undoubtedly supporting Frederick III, which means that the Pope will fully support Frederick III's actions at this time, and the imperial power and the ecclesiastical power will almost become one under the threat of external threats, which means that there is no need to say more, right?

Moreover, the Pope's punishment for the behavior of the Genoese was really severe, even excessive, but considering the current environment, the Pope may also be afraid that someone will follow suit again and want to stop the trend of Reformation in this way, and even under the deliberate concealment of the Church, many people do not even know about the Reformation, in this regard, the Church obviously exerted all its strength - under the oppression of the Pope.

Coming out of the cathedral with a gloomy face, Giannotto and Andrea Ucho quickly greeted him,

"Your Excellency, may I ask when the Genoese mercenaries you hired will arrive?"

Giannotto's question made Bernabo very irritated,

"Nope! No! They won't come! The Genoans are all fools, they are all fools, how can they be working against the Pope at this time? What are you doing against the Emperor? ”

Bernabo's sudden anger caused the two to look at each other and be confused.

Seeing that the two were at a loss, Bernabo could only explain again,

"The Pope has just issued a ban on Genoa not allowing Genogols to be armed, and we need to find another team of mercenaries now."

Right now? Now that they're all in Trento, it's time to find the Swiss mercenaries again, but didn't they say they were in a hurry not long ago?

"So, Viscount, what do you mean?"

Giannotto asked, anyway, if Bernabo wants to let them go to the front, then don't even think about it, if there is no team of hundreds of people, he Giannotto will also leave, no matter how much money he makes, he must have a life to spend, he can't ask for money and not die, he and these people go to the battlefield, it really can't even make waves.

"Let's stay here for a few days, I'll contact the Swiss mercenaries, and besides, I'll have to sell the goods."

Even if Bernabo no longer wanted to, he could only do so now, he knew that the battlefield was very risky, and of course he had to be prepared.

The city of Trento fell into turmoil in the following days, the bishop's law enforcement team showed no mercy in the face of the Genoese team who did not want to give in easily, and the friends who seemed to have a good relationship before were silenced in these days, and everyone was in danger, for fear of contacting the Genoeans, Trento due to its unique geographical location, had long been targeted by Genoese merchants, and now, the merchants in the city were imprisoned, the merchants' goods were confiscated, and those who dared to resist were all hung at the city gates, and the atmosphere of terror shrouded in the city.

However, today's news completely made the Bishop of Trento and those in the know take a deep breath and feel incredible,

"The consuls of the Republic of Genoa declared on March 20 that they had rebelled against the Pope's unfair decision and claimed that they wanted the Pope to revoke the ban and that the war had begun."

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