A few horse-drawn wagons and hundreds of brightly armored soldiers were heading north along the road built in ancient Roman times. Needless to say, this is naturally Sinampei and his party who are preparing to go to Lelan to take over the regime. Although it was snowing heavily in the sky, it didn't stop the two of them from traveling. Time waits for no one.

The city of Leland, bordered by Capet to the west, Genova to the south, the Adriatic Republic, which claims to be the "most noble republic" and the "orthodox descendants of the ancient Romanes" to the east, and Odisia, the direct domain of the Holy Roman Emperor, to the northwest, is a vital transportation hub. In the unusually unproductive Middle Ages, Lelan did not receive much attention, but was favored by merchants because of its status as a land trade hub, but as the times changed, the importance of Lelan became more and more prominent.

With the rise of maritime transport, the commercial status of Lelan City was declining, but with the gradual formation of the modern state, the military and political status of Lelan City was gradually rising. If the Capetians want to interfere in the affairs of the Saranil region, the city of Leland must be taken, if the emperor wants to suppress the church, Leland must take it, and the Sarani states, including the papal states, must also rely on the city of Leland if they want to protect themselves.

The Auvergne family has been able to hold the city firmly for a long time, partly because of the skill of the successive heads of the Auvergne, secondly because of their mastery of magic, and thirdly because of the delicate balance of the situation. The Auvergne family, with many backgrounds, ruled this place, and everyone could accept it - the emperor was relieved because he knew the well-known secret of the Auvergne family as a magician, and knew very well that the Auvergne family was not a role to be manipulated by the Holy See; the Capetian people were relieved because the Auvergne family was closest to the Capetian nobles; and the Salanyi people were relieved because the Auvergne family was just right, neither like those aggressive kings of large countries, nor too weak to maintain independence.

However, individuals cannot keep up with the general trend after all, and the delicate balance that has been held for a long time has finally been broken with the passage of time. When Theresa's mother left Leland for Auvergne, she didn't mean to avoid trouble. As you can imagine. Behind the riots of citizens and merchants, there was no shadow of foreign interference.

Signs of the collapse of the traditional feudal order are already emerging. When a leaf falls, you know that the world is autumn.

Sinan Pei will never leave such a dangerous and coveted place to his children, he wants to deal with this qiē and give his children a good future.

He didn't know if his decision to take down Lelan City was right or wrong, but he didn't have a choice.

Now. Theresa leaned on Sinampei's body and fell asleep sweetly.

She's really pregnant, and she's been very sleepy lately -- both young people are inexperienced, they can't even avoid safe periods, and they're very healthy, and they can't get pregnant.

If Sinampei made such a move that made a seventeen-year-old girl belly big on the earth in the twenty-first century, I am afraid that it would be pointed out by Qianfu, but here...... But it has become a very common thing, and it is even a little late.

No wonder people say that men who have a family are different. Sinan Pei can be regarded as having a personal feeling for this sentence.

Stop-and-go. It took another half a week for the group to come under the walls of Lelan City.

This year's winter is much colder than in previous years, and the heavy snow has closed the road, making the journey extremely difficult, and there are countless wolves encountered along the way.

Some of the wolf packs are staggeringly large, and hundreds of people walking together are still a little weak. The howls of wolves all over the mountains and fields rose and fell one after another, for more than ten miles in a row - those who have not experienced it will never imagine it. The same is conceivable. These are hungry wolves.

Could it be that this world also has a Xiaoice period? Sinampe speculated wildly.

However, it is useless to worry about these eggs at the moment, and the current situation in Leland is more worrying than the problem of the Xiaoice River period.

When they came to the city, what greeted Si Nanpei and the others was not a warm welcome. It was not an earth-shattering cheer, but a palpable hostility - the defenders of the city immediately closed the gates tightly when they saw the carriage and the soldiers following it.

The officers defending the city refused to allow them to enter the city, even after Varangi and Kuran identified themselves.

"Listen to those in front, whether you are the emperor's lackeys. Nor the bishops of any place, or the bastards of Jenova and Adria, you are not welcome!Leland will not accept the rule of the foreigners!If you do not leave, we will attack you!" The words of the garrison officer were very strong.

“...... Hey, Mr. Si, do you need us to storm the city gate?" asked a middle-aged scar-faced man named Red, the leader of the mercenaries led by Si Nanpei, "I can guarantee that they will definitely not last half a day with this city gate." ”

These mercenaries were all hired at the Pope's expense and then handed over to Sinampei's command.

Red was confident. Before leaving, Sinampei provided the design drawings, and the Pope provided funds and workers, and a batch of six-pounder guns was improvised together. Although the quality is worrying, it is still trivial to blast through the city gate. The garrison of Lelan City is far worse than the military fortresses of Capet, and although there are still many defenses scattered around the city, they are all extremely old, and they have not been well repaired in recent years.

According to Varangian, since the city council became the owner, some seemingly unnecessary expenses have been seen, including military expenditures, and the size of the standing army has also been reduced again and again. In the past, Leland was also known as a mercenary, but now Leland has been completely reduced to an undefended commercial town.

However, the act of storming the city gate was not considered by Si Nanpei from the beginning. He wanted a city that was intact and at his heart for him and Theresa.

"No, Red, don't be so impulsive. Sinan Pei shook his head, "Isn't it just a city gate, Mr. Red, just look at it, I have already filed this situation." ”

In front of the magician, what is the city gate?

Shirmelia also followed Sinampe and Theresa here. Now, she was poking her head out of the carriage she was riding, looking curiously at the city.

"Hey, Shilmelia, can you fly in and open this door?" asked Sinampei with a grin.

It's hard to say about other magicians, but there are really few cities that can defend against it when they use Shirmel to steal the city gates!(To be continued......)
