In fact, in reality, Italy is not now called the Kingdom of Italy, but the Holy Roman Empire. The current emperor of the Holy Roman Empire is Charles VI, the second son of the Archduke of Austria, King of Hungary, King of Bohemia, King of Naples, King of Sardinia, King of Sicily, Duke of Parma, Holy Roman Emperor - Leopold I. Charles VI was also a good fighter, and there was a war before he inherited the throne.

In 1700, King Carlos II of Spain died, leaving no male heirs. Leopold I sought to secure the Spanish throne for his son in order to unify the territory of the Habsburg crown. However, Charles met a formidable opponent, Philip, Duke of Anjou, grandson of King Louis XIV of France. In the will of Carlos II, Philip was the heir, so Philip ascended the throne as King of Spain in 1700 as Philip V.

Leopold, with the support of other European powers, opposed this outcome and launched the War of the Spanish Succession. The only country that supported Philip V was France. After the death of Emperor Joseph I, the eldest son of Leopold, in 1711, Charles inherited the throne of Austria and the Holy Roman Empire, which made his claim to the Spanish crown less plausible. After weighing, Charles VI gave up the fight for the Spanish throne and signed the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713 to end the war.

In 1716, Charles VI allied with Venice against the Ottoman Empire. Under the leadership of Austria's most prominent general, Prince Eugen, the Austrian army achieved a brilliant victory. In the Treaty of Pasarowitz signed with the Ottoman Empire, Charles VI received part of the territory of Serbia and Wallachia.

In the later years of Charles VI, Austria's power was declining. In 1733, Austria lost the War of the Polish Succession. Charles VI was forced to return Sicily and Naples to King Carlos III of Spain in exchange for the Duchy of Parma and Piacenza in the Treaty of Vienna in 1738. Charles VI was also defeated in the second war with the Ottoman Empire, which broke out between 1737 and 1739, as a result losing most of the territory he had captured in the previous war.

However, it was only 1730, and Charles Sixty had not yet encountered defeat. It can be said that he is still in a state of complacency, and the power in his hands is still very strong. That's why he can't tolerate the church's recent actions. As a king, he didn't care about the faith of the church. As long as it does not endanger his rule, then he does not want to provoke the church. Before that, the relationship between the two sides was not intimate, at least peaceful.

When the news of the church getting the artifact first came out, he didn't care much, and even thought that this was a farce made by the church to absorb believers. However, things change so quickly that his army stumbles upon a locksmith who has escaped from the Church's captivity. The locksmith told him that he had seen the chest himself, and that it did not look like it could be made in the human world, but it was so strong that it could not be broken by a sword or a musket. The artillery did not have that accuracy, and it could not hit a small metal box.

A group of lockpickers, who studied for months, finally opened the first few locks. The last two, are beyond their reach. However, the church does not intend to let these people go, and even if they can't, they can provide some ideas on the side. However, because the attitude of the church was not good, these locksmiths were frightened. They think they can't live without the church for the rest of their lives. Even if they opened the box, they thought they would be killed by the church.

This locksmith is old and young, and most of the seven or eight members of the family depend on him for their livelihood. Without him, his home was ruined. The locksmith had to survive, so he tried his best to escape from the church. This is also a favor that some greedy people unintentionally help. They know that the church has gotten good stuff and has been making decisions. The church was exhausted by dealing with them, and inadvertently revealed a big flaw, which caused the locksmith to escape.

He also knew that he would not be able to survive on his own, and that he had to hold a big thick leg. The thick leg he chose was Charles VI. Charles VI received the news and also attached great importance to it. He is an ambitious emperor who is about to enter old age, and he wants to do even greater things. Therefore, he was very eager for this legendary and powerful artifact. However, the church could not give it to him. Even, the church may use the power of the artifact to subvert his empire instead.

Charles VI did not believe that the Church would not have the ambition to dominate the world, or else there would not have existed for hundreds of years in the Dark Middle Ages. The fact that the artifact is real, and that it is still in the hands of the Church, is the worst news for Charles VI. Because of the proximity, as long as the Church had the power of the artifact, the Holy Roman Empire would definitely be the first to have problems. Charles VI didn't want his kingdom to become a stepping stone for the Church to regain its prime, so he sent troops.

Charles VI had been in business for so many years, and he always had a completely loyal army under his command. Outside the Vatican, there are just a few troops. However, until Charles VI gave an order, they did not dare to engage directly with the Church. After all, Charles VI is old, a little more indecisive, and still wants to solve it through negotiations. He had already opened a dukedom bargaining chip to exchange it for an artifact from the church, but how could the church be willing.

Charles VI is running out of patience, and it is inferred that the church is going to open the box as well. Therefore, he immediately made a decision and asked the troops to attack immediately. Eugen had just established himself in the Vatican, and was looking for an opportunity to sneak into the approximate location of the box they had inquired about to continue their search, and Charles VI sent this opportunity to them. Behind this, there is also a company. In order to weaken the artifact as much as possible, the company recruited the French to supply weapons to the Holy Roman Empire.

Although it is not the Hall M1819 and the heavy fist, it is also the best weapon imitated by the French using the technology of these two weapons. At least, better than the muskets and artillery used by the Holy Roman Empire itself. Charles VI is not a picker, and he will not let go of this opportunity to increase his strength, and eats it all. The Vatican has tried its best to prepare for war, and what was originally a small place for a few hundred people has been built into a castle that can accommodate 5,000 people.

Under the artillery bombardment of the Imperial army, a section of the city wall collapsed directly. The believers and warriors on the side of the church all moved, and groups of fanatical believers carried thick planks to the gap. Eugen's fifteen men saw that this was an opportunity, and they tried their best to find a chance to get out, and left the battlefield to return to the place where they hid their weapons. Without wasting time, they immediately took out their weapons, loaded them with bullets, opened the safety and went to the target.

They didn't walk on the ground, but on the roof. They are all elite agents, trained by the Free Assassin League, and with the company making some small things, climbing walls is a very easy thing for them. The fierce exchange of fire on the battlefield also played a certain role in covering their movements. They have been here for more than a week, and they have also obtained a lot of information. For this artifact, the church must be a heavily guarded place where elite forces are concentrated, and there is a high probability that it is where the artifact is located.

They marked the places and prepared to touch them one by one. As soon as they looked for two places, they locked on one. At this time, in order to resist the army of the Holy Roman Empire, the Church could not let the elite go to waste in it, and the troops from other places were transferred to the front, and none of the elites here left. Eugen was sure that this was definitely the place where the artifact "Golden Apple" was located, and they didn't alarm the first person outside, how could it be more than a hundred Templars.

All of them were tall and large, and they wore some light cuirasses. Each person had a long musket, a short musket, a small steel shield pinned to his back, and a one-handed sword hanging from his waist. There was an elite aura all over his body, and Eugen could tell at a glance that they must be some elite veterans who had gone through battle. Of course, if the place is spacious enough, Eugen doesn't care about this, and with the weapon in his hand, he can definitely solve it in one day.

However, the terrain here is complicated, and there are quite a few ordinary soldiers around who will definitely surround them when they hear the loud noise. They couldn't afford to delay, so instead of coming down from the roof, they kept going, estimating the central position around them. Then, the soldiers took out the bits and pieces, and after a while, they actually assembled them, and used them to open a hole in the roof of the civil structure. Then the probe looks inside.

Pope Benz XIII (to prevent river crabs) was urging a group of locksmiths inside. He knew that the power in his hands would definitely not be able to defeat the elite guards in the hands of Charles VI if he was serious. Now the only one who can turn the tables is the golden apple, as long as they can use the golden apple, they may turn the tables, and even create a "prosperous era" of world domination by the church. So, instead of going to the front to boost morale, the Pope stayed here.

The locksmiths were also very anxious, and the Pope had begun to threaten them with his life. If Charles VI's army hadn't unlocked the last lock before they could break in, the Templars would have removed their heads from their bodies before the Pope lost their heads, so they had to exert 120,000 points of strength.
