The Rise of the European Emperor

In the southern Mediterranean, on the island of Lampedusa, Archbishop Rovere and dozens of his followers, as well as the 2ooo army led by Schwartz, have arrived. Upon Schwartz's arrival, Steindorf, who was originally stationed on the island, and the original 5ooo army, will accept Schwartz's leadership together.

At the same time, outside the city of Rome, an unknown small fishing village, with the investment of Marin, has built several long bridge piers, which can park more than a dozen boats at the same time...

Even this small fishing village was bought by Marin's men in the name of an Italian businessman. And the meaning of this pier is to let the army under Marin board the 6th.

Although there is still a distance from Rome, as long as you board the 6 here, it will not take long to go to Rome, and you can arrive in a few hours.

As for whether to invade the city of Rome, this is not a problem. Because, under Kohler's arrangement, an Italian named Ramini rented a large yard near the north gate of Rome long ago, and in the name of a big grain merchant, he accumulated a lot of rye there. In addition, in the name of recruiting coolies, 100 elite Frisian soldiers were let in, and they all lived in that big yard.

At the same time, a batch of weapons and armors were also secretly transported into the city and hidden in the basement of the large courtyard. Once Schwartz and his army arrived outside the north gate, as long as they took out two double-shot cannons and ignited, as a signal, the 1oo Friesian elite soldiers in the yard would quickly plate armor, take shields and short knives, and go to attack the city gate. , and opened the gates of the city, and brought the army into the city.

Archbishop Rovere has been restless these days. Because, as agreed, the time has come to poison Alexander VI. Archbishop Rovere was a little nervous, because it was related to whether he could become the Pope.

"Archbishop, what's the matter with you?" Schwartz asked with concern. As Marin's cronies, Schwartz of course knew that his mistress, Angela, was the daughter of the archbishop in front of him, not the daughter of a Nelson knight. So, for Archbishop Rovere, he is very respectful. Moreover, if this operation is successful, the archbishop in front of him is likely to become the most honorable pope in Europe, and he naturally does not dare to neglect.

"Well, I don't know if things in Rome will be successful..." Archbishop Rovere was a little worried. In the past few years, living in East Friesland, he has learned German and has no problem communicating with Schwarz.

"Of course it will succeed, I believe Master!" Schwartz said confidently. In his eyes, his young master, Marin, is omnipotent.

"If the vicious Pope dies, will your army be able to invade Rome?" Archbishop Rovere asked worriedly.

"Of course there is no problem. We bought a small fishing village 20 kilometers northwest of Rome and built several long bridge piers. At that time, once the army is out, we can dock at the small fishing village with more than a dozen boats. 7,000 men and horses, get to 6 quickly."

"What about attacking the city of Rome? The city of Rome is a fortified city!"

"There are already people in the city who are ready to respond. As long as we send out the signal, they will attack the city gate hole in the city, seize the city gate, and open the city gate to welcome our army into the city. As for the 2ooo defenders in the city, Where is the opponent of our 7,000 veterans?" Schwartz said confidently. Moreover, German mercenaries have always looked down on Italian mercenaries who knew how to drink and pick up girls.

"That's good, that's good..." Archbishop Rovere finally felt relieved.

"By the way, Archbishop, then, after your people (poisoning) succeed, let us know, is there any problem?" Schwartz was also worried that the people on Archbishop Rovere's side would lose their chains. Because if the news of Alexander VI's death is not reported in time, and when the cardinals of Rome city elect a new pope, then the day lily will be cold, and the Archbishop of Rovere will not need to go to Rome. No way, let Schwartz openly kill the new pope... Even the mighty Shinra emperors who marched into Rome wouldn't dare to kill the hostile pope...

"No problem, Cantrera's duration is about 7 days. As long as I am poisoned, I am lurking under the Basilica of Saint John Lateran, and I will definitely leave a mark on the relevant place the next day. This is , Kohler's people, will send someone to check, there will be no problem."

The sending of people into the city of Rome and the connection with Archbishop Rovere's men were all arranged by Kohler. As for Schwartz, he was mainly responsible for leading troops into Rome...

In fact, while Archbishop Rovere was chatting with Schwartz, Paul, who had succeeded in poisoning yesterday, went out early in the morning and, in the name of purchasing, came to the vegetable market in Rome. Chalk, draw a few "$" signs.

This symbol, no one knows what it means in this era, is naturally created by Marin. In the future, no one knows. Because, that's the code name for the dollar...

As long as you see this mark, Kohler's people will naturally understand what it means...

Sure enough, at noon, Kohler's subordinates saw several such marks here. Then, the person immediately rushed back to the compound near the North City Gate. Not long after, one person and one horse came out of the compound and hurried out of the city...

In the afternoon of that day, in a small fishing village 20 kilometers northwest of the city of Rome, two speedboats left one after another and went straight to Lampedusa Island...

Rome to Lampedusa Island is about 8oo kilometers away. It will take several days for the speedboat to arrive here. After the speedboat arrived, Schwartz had to organize a large army to board the boat and then arrive at a small fishing village northwest of Rome. This time, when Schwartz's army reached 6, I am afraid that Alexander VI has been dead for a few days...

Of course, after the death of Alexander VI, the heirs will not succeed before the spirit like the hereditary aristocracy. Because the Pope needs to be elected, which takes a lot of time. Therefore, after the army arrived, even if it was a few days late, it was just in time. However, that's all for later...

That night, Archbishop Rovere took Schwartz for a drink. Schwartz asked worriedly:

"Archbishop, in what name should our army march into Rome?"

"Didn't you say, in the name of Blackwater mercenaries?"

"But, Archbishop, the timing of our appearance is too coincidental. As soon as Alexander VI died, we appeared outside the city of Rome. This, it doesn't make sense... If you think about it, you will understand that the death of Alexander VI and our About..."

Schwartz's concern is very reasonable. Even the Blackwater mercenaries should be active in East Frisian, and should not suddenly run from the North Sea to the Mediterranean.

As soon as Alexander VI died, the Archbishop of Rovere marched into Rome with a large army. Even a fool would know that Alexander VI was killed by the Archbishop of Rovere...

Thinking of this, Archbishop Rovere also fell into contemplation... We must think of a plausible reason and explain it to the world... Whether others believe it or not, this explanation must make sense...

...

Thinking of late at night, Archbishop Rovere suddenly slapped his thigh:

"Have it!"

At this time, Schwartz had already fallen asleep on the table. He was woken up by Archbishop Rovere, and hurriedly touched the hilt on his waist...

After reacting, Schwartz asked dejectedly:

"Archbishop, what's wrong with you?" Schwartz couldn't be angry with his master's father-in-law.

"I found the right excuse!"

"Oh? Come and listen!" Schwartz immediately became interested.

"You counts, weren't you conferred the title of Duke of Egypt by Maximilian I?"

Schwartz nodded, but who takes that empty title to heart...

"That's the point! Since your count has the title of Duke of Egypt, are you thinking of 'recovering' Egypt?"

"Recover Egypt?" Schwartz was stunned - Nima, is Egypt so easy to recover? In the Mamluk Dynasty, you can make up tens of thousands of cavalry casually, okay? I took thousands of people to "reconquer" Egypt? So can't think of it?

"Yeah, it's unrealistic, but it's a good excuse!"

Schwartz thought about it, really. Lampedusa Island is indeed on the route to Egypt, and it is not far from Egypt. Moreover, Marin happens to be also the "Duke of Egypt". It also makes sense to say that his army was going to "reconquer" Egypt.

As for the Mamluk dynasty with 7,000 people wanting to attack Egypt, it sounds like a joke, but who cares. To paraphrase a very shameless saying of the owner of the house, Marin - "Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway!"

For Archbishop Rovere and Marin, it's just a matter of finding a plausible reason. Does it matter whether others believe it or not? Is it important? Is it important?

So, according to the statement given by Archbishop Rovere, Schwartz was leading the army to conquer the Mamluk Dynasty in Egypt on the order of Marin. Suddenly at the sea, he met the Archbishop of Rovere who was "vacation" on the Mediterranean... Under the influence of the Archbishop of Rovere, Schwartz decisively stopped the expedition against Egypt, and turned to "escort" the Archbishop of Rovere to Rome to find him. Chatting with Alexander VI... Unexpectedly, the great Pope Alexander VI has returned to the arms of God... Well, Archbishop Rovere "reluctantly" participated in the Pope's election... and was "probated" by Schwa General Ci, who always guarded the Archbishop, helped to disarm the original Papal Army...

In the end, Archbishop Rovere also summed up in one sentence - "This is the truth, whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway!"
