It was a little far away, but Oflair was sure it was a man, and a young man.

Seeing the figure of the man leading the horse, the face of the marching army captain sank slightly.

But even so, he didn't dare to do anything to this fat nun, but he was even more annoyed in his heart.

Offrey was a young man, and spent most of the first 20 years in the village of Agri with his parents, and later he became an apprentice to his uncle Ofley, the elder Ofley, who could leave the land, but only in a different place, and then spent his days working with stones.

In Oflaiil's mind, the nun was undoubtedly noble, pure, and even sacrosanct, even if he saw a young man coming out of it, he would not have anything strange on the contrary, he was just dissatisfied with how this fat nun could treat them so differently, but he still couldn't think of any other way.

So though Ofleiil showed a rare talent for surveying the terrain and being keenly aware of its close connection with military affairs, he was no better, if not worse, than his slippery veterans in many other things.

So when Alexander and his chasseurs arrived outside the monastery, they saw the captain standing on the side of the road waiting for them.

When he heard what had happened, Alexander sighed secretly, he actually missed Massimo a little at this time.

If that slippery head was there, it might be much easier.

Alexander believed that if it was Massimo, not only would he and his group be able to live in a comfortable house by this time, but perhaps Mashimo would be able to find a nun for himself to exchange his understanding and understanding of the Bible in private.

It's just that now the liar is now by his side, which makes Alexander feel a little embarrassed because of the lack of manpower.

"We can impress that nasty nun with money," Alexander could only enlighten the pure marching captain, but after hearing Oflei's indignation that other young men could enter the monastery at will, he could only look at the young man with a wry smile.

Amid the mocking laughter of the bohemians beside him, Alexander could only think to himself: "Sometimes purity is also a good thing. ”

Alexander's words proved to be right, and when a small bag of gold coins was delivered to the fat nun, the "bride of God" was reserved at first, but only after a while, she readily agreed to their request.

The town which belonged to the monastic property outside the Abbey of St. Teresa was immediately busy, and a group of cavalry entered the town, and soon some of the houses were filled with the busy figures of the maids, and the occasional scolding when attacked by men.

Alexander's residence was in a very remote house not too far from the monastery, and when Alexander moved into this house, Paolo Busako and his huntsmen surrounded the house because of the lessons learned from the previous attack in the village of Saniro.

And it wasn't until Ofley, the captain of the march, had reported everything to him, that Alexander lay down on the bed that had been made a little tired.

Only then did he have a chance to think about what had happened in the past few days.

No one was surprised that Genoa had decided to join the Romagna dispute, or that when Venice announced its support for the Milanese, many had already thought that it was only a matter of time before Genoa joined them.

As a traditional region as famous as the Lombardy region, Romagna has a deeper significance for historical reasons.

If Lombardy is coveted for its richness, Romagna is not as rich as Lombardy, but it is even more remarkable for its rich history and political influence.

Whoever becomes the master of Romagna means the possibility of unifying the entire vast territory left over from the early Roman Empire!

Just as the Venetians did not hesitate to form an alliance with Milan, Venice would not care about the dirty relationship with the Vatican, but no one guessed that the first person to find a reason to join this dispute was a person who was not a stranger to the Romans, but no one expected.

No one really took Alexander's question of the rights of Château Montineuv seriously, or that no one really thought that the Rovere family was making such a big deal about it just for a castle with a daughter as a dowry.

Then the only reason is that Genoa cannot tolerate Venice occupying Romagna, let alone sit back and watch Venice directly enter the right bank of the Tirenian Sea after obtaining Romagna, and then directly block the Genoese in the bay of the Direnian Sea!

Because of this, when Alexander, in the name of Barondi's fiancé, publicly declared his sovereignty over the new castle of Montina, the Rovere family did something that many people felt as surprising but also quite atmospheric.

In the name of the Archbishop of Genoa, La Fael de la Rovere publicly announced that, in view of this marriage, the family of Roveret had transferred the sovereignty of the Montina region, mainly from Château de Montieneuv, to Alexander, and that La Faure even publicly bestowed the coat of arms on Alexandre in the newly built Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

The green ears of wheat represent Agri, while the castle alludes to Montina, and Alexander's "geometric coat of arms" finally looks less empty and obtrusive.

But what really pleased Alexander was not the badge that looked a little bit, but the fact that Giuliano kept his promise and gave him an army of 1,000 men.

And it was only then that Alexander understood why, even though he knew that the city of Rome was full of dangers, old Rovere still came back without care.

It was because among the French troops that occupied Rome at the beginning were Genoese troops.

What is admirable is that when the French were defeated and retreated, the Genoese army did not flee with the French, but became one of the defenders of the city of Rome.

Regarding this series of changes, Alexander could only say in his heart, "The old guy is really cunning and cunning."

Then he accepted the previous "puppet army" with peace of mind, and turned them into the vanguard of the newly established "Montina League".

The reason for being the vanguard was that neither Alexander VI nor the elder Rovere believed that Alexander's army of less than 2,000 men could solve the threat from Venice.

Everyone knew that the sovereignty of Castle Montienne was only a pretext, and since Genoa had made up its mind to intervene in the affairs of Romagna, a war involving several forces was soon approaching.

1,000 Genoese soldiers, and less than 700 Agri and Bohemians in total, this was all Alexander's strength today, which gave him a bit of a headache, and because he had just taken over the Genoese, Alexander did not have much hope for them.

This is not to say that the Genoese were not brave, but on the contrary, these soldiers who also had the adventurous spirit of the maritime people were very strong, and the Genoese were known for their aggressiveness, both at sea and on land.

What's more, even the laziest of the Venetians will become instantly feverish whenever they encounter something related to Venice, just as the Venetians will do whatever it takes to overwhelm the Genoese in all aspects, a true Genoese will never tolerate the challenge of the Venetian Thermals.

Alexander was concerned that the Genoese would not be able to form effective combat coordination with his Agri.

While accepting this "Genoese puppet army", Alexander saw their combat drills.

I can't help but admit that looking at the neatly arranged and uniformly dressed Genoese shield swordsmen, as well as the crossbowmen armed with strong crossbows, Alexander was somewhat ashamed of his army that was dressed up and looked like a group of crooked melons and cracked dates.

However, the elder Rovere soon generously provided his army with a large amount of money for the redress, and Alexander became very fond of the future father-in-law.

It's just that old Rovere couldn't do anything about the strange armor that Alexander had spared no expense to create for his hunters.

The slightly exaggerated shape and unadorned smooth curvature of this armor were once regarded as a joke by Konstantin, and even laughed in front of some friends that this armor was made purely for women.

This made Alexander wonder what Sophia would look like if she wore this modified cuirass.

However, it was precisely because of this that Alexander became more aware of the differences between the Agri and the Genoese army in many places.

The Agri phalanx was a new army created by him, and the Genoese were clearly out of step with his Agri.

But there was no time for him to reunite the two very different teams, and the vanguard of the Venetians was said to have entered Romagna from the east, their forces directed towards Royal.

Apparently, the Venetians were preparing to join the Milanese in Reialo and then head south for a decisive battle with the Papal Army in the Vatican!

The Venetians' intentions, old Rovere had already guessed after hearing that they were in alliance with the Milanese.

The invasion of Romagna and then the struggle with the armies of the Papal States for dominance of Romagna in the narrow area between the Apennines and the Tyrrhenian Sea was almost a common tactic adopted by successive Venetians.

The reason why such a simple, direct and unusually brutal method has been adopted for many years is entirely due to the scruples of the Venetians about threats from behind.

As Venice's sworn enemies for generations, the Genoese knew no less about their enemies than the Venetians themselves.

They are therefore well aware of the years that the Venetians have coveted the Romagna region.

Rome's strange geographical location forms a wonderful triangle with Venice and Genoa, and the rolling Apennines form an impenetrable natural barrier between the three.

The result of this is that if either side wants to attack others, it will inevitably be threatened by a third party to the back and retreat.

For Venice, such a situation was clearly intolerable.

Just think that just over two centuries ago, the wealthy Venetians were able to instigate the Crusaders to capture Constantinople, which was said to be unruly for thousands of years, and plundered the countless treasures treasured in that thousand-year-old capital to Venice to decorate their water park, which shows how bold and arrogant the Venetians were.

And this time their alliance with Milan obviously made them feel that they could take advantage of the Milanese's containment of Genoa and get rid of the threat from behind.

"It's your duty to keep Venice near the Plains of Reial."

Before leaving, old Rovere told him this.

"The weakness of the Venetians is not their own, but the Milanese, for whom once they are threatened by the enemy, they no longer have the capital to fight the enemy, because Venice is a city-state and not a country, and although they have money, they definitely do not have enough troops to maintain several different fronts, even if they can hire a sufficient number of mercenaries, because no mercenary will invest all their money in a battle that will pay a great price even if it is won, So all you have to do is just hold back those Venetians. ”

"Sure enough, he is worthy of being called the God of War Pope." Thinking of these words of old Lauvere, Alexander secretly praised the future old man in his heart.

This was because he knew that Giuliano had accurately predicted the context and steps of the future Venetians.

It could even be said that the elder Rovere drew a not-so-rosy blueprint for the Venetians for decades to come.

The nightmare of "threat from behind" haunted the Venetians, from which they could not escape during the long Italian wars that followed.

As Giuliano said, Venice is everything from their wealth, and with the exploration and development of the New World, the commercial world dominated by the Atlantic Ocean will gradually replace the trading circle centered on the Mediterranean.

And Venice, a commercial kingdom that relied on the Mediterranean Sea to develop, will inevitably decline.

Alexander shook his head slightly, retracting his thoughts, and reminded himself that at this time he should be thinking about how to accomplish the task at hand, rather than thinking too much.

The claim made as Barenti's fiancé gave him the right to have a castle on his coat of arms that meant Monty, but if he wanted to actually get the territory, he had to stop the Venetian invasion first, otherwise he might have to be like a famous landless king in history, because there was no territory at all and became a laughing stock for others.

However, despite receiving a Genoese reinforcement of 1,000 men, Alexander was not too sure that he would fight the Venetians.

Somewhat restless, he got out of bed and walked out of the house, watching the busy soldiers coming and going outside, and he walked through the narrow streets towards the secluded stream.

Paul Busako and a few hunters followed silently, they were watching vigilantly not far from Alexandria, and when they came to the stream, one of the huntsmen walking in front suddenly whispered: "Who, stop!" ”

Hearing the guard's shouting, Paolo Busako quickly drew his saber, and he walked quickly to Alexander to block his body, while staring warily at the two figures in front of the stream.

In the darkness, the voice of a young woman was heard.

"Are you Gombray in Agri?"

Alexander walked up slowly, a little surprised, and by the moonlight he saw an unusually beautiful face.

"Miss Lucrezia?"

Alexander's voice blurted out in surprise.
