The Rise of the European Emperor

Marin, however, received no response. Although Prince Christian, who was lying weakly on the hospital bed, heard Marin's words, he opened his mouth but said nothing. Because what he said was useless...

At this time, Prince Christian was full of despair. He didn't even know if he could survive this poisoning. Therefore, he was too lazy to communicate with Marin.

But Marin doesn't think so. Prince Christian is the crown prince of the Kingdom of Denmark and the crown prince of the Kingdom of Norway anyway. Now, he has fallen into his own hands. The living Prince Christian is more valuable than the dead Prince Christian. So, Marin decided - to detoxify Prince Christian...

Marin clearly remembers - the solution to Cantrera's poison is to slit open the belly of a live mule, then climb into the mule's belly and immerse the body in hot blood and entrails...

Relying on this detoxification method, although he was also poisoned by Cantrella, Caesar Borgia managed to survive. As for Alexander VI, because his body was too old and weak, he was unable to climb into the body of a live mule whose stomach was cut open, so he had to hang up like this...

And the Prince Christian in front of him, after being tortured for a long time by poison, is probably not able to climb into the belly of the slashed mule.

But Marin felt that the blood and internal organs of the mule didn't really matter whether it was in the mule's belly or not. Anyway, it's just a means of insulation. So, he decided to export the blood of the mule, and at the same time remove the internal organs of the mule, put it in a basin, and let Prince Christian soak it.

As for the required high temperature environment, this is not difficult. Just put it in an airtight room with a high temperature...

So, Marin ordered the construction of a hut with a heated kang...

Of course, Marin couldn't immediately say that he saw that Prince Christian had been poisoned by "Cantrera". Otherwise, will it soon become self-inflicted?

So, Marin pretended to care about the prince first and asked how the prince became like this...

Prince Christian didn't have the strength to answer, but General Maxime stood by and answered in his place...

Marin pretended to be trying very hard to recall, and then pretended to be uncertain and said:

"I really want to hear about this kind of poison in Your Highness..."

The loyal servant of General Maxime immediately asked excitedly:

"Lord Marin, do you know how to detoxify? Our Highness has been tortured to death by this poison. If you capture him in time, you should also need a healthy Highness, right?"

Marin nodded and said:

"You are right, I do need a healthy Danish crown prince as a prisoner. However, I am not very sure. That kind of poison, it stands to reason that people who are poisoned will die in seven days... What about your princes? Will you survive?" Marin put the question back to General Maxime.

"Seven days... you must die... You mean, this poison was put down seven days before the poison erupted?" General Maxim asked thoughtfully.

Marin nodded and said:

"Yes, this is a rumor I heard when I went to Rome before. According to the rumor, this poison is called 'Cantrella', which is the exclusive poison of the Borgia family where the last Pope Alexander VI belonged. , the medicine is extremely powerful, but it is a chronic poison, it will kill you, and it will take seven days to attack..."

Marin's doubts are not fake. It stands to reason that Prince Christian should be dead. How did he survive? After all, Cantrella is so poisonous...

At this time, General Maxim suddenly patted his head and said:

"I remembered! On the night seven days before His Royal Highness was poisoned, we drank in the Prince's tent. It seems that the newly recruited servant under my command took the initiative to pour wine for us, and even poured wine for His Royal Highness... ...it should be the poison he took advantage of..."

"Later, this guy disappeared, and a few days later, His Highness was poisoned..."

Prince Christian was excited at this time,

want to struggle...

When General Maxime saw it, he hurriedly said:

"His Royal Highness, that's not what I ordered. That guy was introduced to me by Holson. I didn't know he was an enemy! Besides, I heard from my subordinates that he was drunk the night before he escaped, and suddenly his mouth suddenly came out of his mouth. A few Swedish words came out...the next day disappeared...I suspect, he is a spy for Sweden..."

Although Prince Christian couldn't move, his eyes were full of anger at this time...

Marin also deliberately answered:

"Swedes... no wonder..."

General Maxime suddenly bowed and said:

"Master Marin, since you know this poison. Then, do you know the solution to it? His Royal Highness is dying. I think you also need a healthy prince as a hostage? If you know the solution, please save me save him……"

Marin made a difficult gesture, and then said:

"Okay, I'll try..."

Then, Marin found a live mule and sent his men to violently open its stomach and take out its internal organs. Then, put a large wooden barrel under the mule's stomach to receive the mule's blood.

Then, Marin put the barrel full of blood into the room with the heated kang, and began to order people to set fire in the kang stove to warm the room.

Then, he sent people to put the barrels on the heated kang in the room to keep the blood and internal organs warm...

In the end, he ordered the weak Prince Christian to be carried over, stripped naked, and thrown into the barrel...

...

Marin's idea is not wrong, this can indeed replace the detoxification method of people actively crawling into the belly of the mule. However, Marin did not tell Prince Christian how to interpret it, nor did he tell Prince Maxime. Because, maybe one day he will need to use Cantrella Poison. If someone knew about the Dharma, the medicine would be useless.

Therefore, when detoxifying, Marin did not tell Prince Christian and General Maxim that it was the blood of a mule, nor did he show them the process of killing the mule.

Before throwing Prince Christian into the barrel, Marin poured a bottle of white powder into the barrel in front of Prince Christian and General Maxime, and said that it was a kind of The precious antidote was bought from someone in Rome... In fact, it was a bottle of flour... poured into it and it became a paste. But because it was poured in blood, Prince Christian and Maxim couldn't see that it was ordinary flour...because, that kind of blood was covered up by the blood-red and more striking mule's innards...

Therefore, Prince Christian and General Maxim thought that the main function was the bottle of "medicine powder" that Marin poured into it, and the blood was probably the solvent... Anyway, Marin's deception achieved the goal...

Finally, to no surprise to Marin, Prince Christian's poison has been detoxified, and his body has begun to improve...

And Marin, with the army and the recovered Prince Christian, headed east...

After arriving at the port of Vejle on the island of Zeeland last time across the sea, the fleets of Lübeck and Hamburg have been waiting on the sea for a long time...

At this time in Denmark, there was no navy, and Zeeland was surrounded by Lübeck and Hamburg warships. Marin's army was about to land, and the two ships were waiting here for a long time, waiting for the Marin transport. The army went to Zealand to besiege Copenhagen...

After Marin's army arrived, they first expanded the wharf at Vejle and built many temporary long bridge wharves so that more ships could be docked.

Then, the ships of Lübeck and Hamburg began to transport the army of Marin, and began the second transportation to land on Zealand Island... It was still from Vejle, and landed from Kellonburg in the northwest of Zealand...

Kronborg also doesn't have enough piers, but that doesn't matter. Marin first dispatched some engineering troops to land at the Kellonburg pier. They then built more temporary long bridge piers to allow more ships to dock.

After the temporary pier was repaired, the large-scale landing began...

A few days later, Marin's army completely completed the landing and came to the east of Zeeland. Under the terrified eyes of the Danes, they once again surrounded Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark...
