Chapter 1304: Spring in the Vineyard
Marina is missing a string in her head, and she still hasn't figured out the seriousness of the matter. In fact, Marina really didn't think too deeply, since the Wei Ting family is the lord of Merlin City, it is also appropriate to take back Merlin Avenue, and even thinks that her father is too sloppy, in fact, he should have taken back Merlin Avenue a long time ago. After sending Jomi away, Yakuta still had a lot to worry about, so he quickly sent people to occupy the management office of Merlin Avenue, and mobilized more city patrol soldiers to station on Merlin Avenue, and for a while even ordinary residents could see that the momentum was a little wrong, only Marina wandered around the streets without heart and lungs. As the daughter of the city lord of Merlin City, Marina has asked for whatever she wants, and she can't count the number of times Merlin Avenue has been here, but only this time she was in the happiest mood, and the two guards followed closely behind, looking a little nervous. What is the eldest lady's heart made of, just provoked the Wei Lan family, and the city lord's mansion wants to take back the management of Merlin Avenue, at this time, the Wei Lan family and the Luke family are not in a hurry to jump off the wall, and the eldest lady does not return to the manor to hide, and dares to wander around the street. However, the guards did not dare to be the slightest dissatisfied, the eldest lady was not afraid of death, so they had to accompany them for a good life.
Finally came out for a trip, Marina also wanted to have fun before going back, Yakuta was busy dealing with the Weilan family and the Luke family, plus there were more than 200 soldiers on Merlin Avenue, and there were no worries about Marina's safety. Walking south along the pier, Marina, who had been lacking in interest, suddenly stopped in front of a stall, stretched out her hand and looked at the things on the stall, tilted her head, and looked at it with big eyes, and she didn't understand what it was after looking at it for a long time, but she just felt that the small porcelain vase was very chic, "Hey, what is this?" β
The quaint porcelain vase was beautifully depicted, and Marina was sure that she had never seen anything like it before. When the stall owner saw that it was Marina, he was almost scared, and quickly said in a trembling voice, "Miss Marina, this thing is called perfume, and it was circulated from the Eastern Empire, and when the villain went to Hohenzollern, he bought it from a merchant. If you like it, take it. β
The boss said beautifully, but his heart was already dripping blood, this bottle of perfume cost a full thirteen gold coins, which was originally used to attract customers, and he never dreamed that he would be seen by Marina. Marina was born in a wealthy family, where do she know the mind of the stall owner, she has also heard of perfume, this thing is very rare, Frankish aristocratic women are proud of holding perfume, since they have met, naturally they can't let go, "Oh, I bought this thing!" β
After speaking, Marina threw down twenty gold coins and walked away happily, not seeing the bitter gourd face of the boss's dead father. The stall owner is a bitter one, and this is not a question of money, but a question of whether money can buy it. Perfume is an extremely valuable item, and all the perfumes in the Holy Empire are obtained from Seljuk merchants, and they are simply priceless. Smelling the perfume along the way, Marina smiled, and her two-handed sword was stuck at her waist, dangling and shaking, looking more like some kind of ornament. Back at Varro Manor, Hornan finally breathed a sigh of relief, this baby bump was finally willing to go home. Because of the doting on this daughter, although there is something to discuss, but Hornan did not let people invite Marina, but personally came to the white stone cottage where Marina often lives, as soon as she pushed the door open, Marina came over with a smile, "Father, you are really too powerful today, you don't know, as soon as Yakuta said that he would take back the management of Merlin Avenue, Jomi's face turned black, and the look of daring to be angry and not daring to speak was really ridiculous." According to me, you should have done this a long time ago, but this time the father can stand up for his daughter, which is still very powerful. β
Marina's little mouth was like a cannon, and there were three black lines directly hanging on Huo Nan's head, this baby daughter is not a stupid person, why do you always say such funny things. Huo Nan knew what his daughter's temper was, and he didn't bother to explain, so he straightened his face and looked unfathomable, "Whoever dares to touch my little angel will always have to pay the price, as long as you are happy." Hey, don't laugh yet, tell you something, how are you thinking about this marriage? β
Marina's shoulders trembled slightly, but when she heard Huo Nan mention the marriage issue, her little face suddenly seemed to be covered with the frost of the wax moon, and she pouted unhappily, "What marriage?" I don't know, you don't really plan to let me marry that dead fat man from Louis, I heard that the Frankish royal family is in a mess, and I want to marry you, but I won't marry anyway. It's not early, I'm going to sleep, you get out. β
As she spoke, Marina reached out and pulled Hornan up, pushing her out with a cold face, Horner was almost choked to death by her baby daughter, and hit Marina with a smile and crying, "You conscienceless, you just solved Jomy's problem for you, and you forgot about it?" β
"Forget it, forget it, I can't remember anything, you go quickly, I want to sleep" Marina stiffened her face, there was no room for negotiation, Huo Nan shook her head with a smile, she went to bed before it was dark, and she didn't find a better reason to find a reason, "I really have no conscience, hey, you girl, don't push it, there is something to discuss, I just want to ask you, if you don't like the fat Louis, we can change someone." β
Marina's face changed very quickly, and she let go of her hand and smiled, "Really, Father, why didn't you say it earlier?" In the blink of an eye, Marina invited Holnan back to the house, and the changes were so fast that even Holnan's was quite amazed, this daughter is a great talent. Sitting down again, Hornan cautiously told Royce about it, he was a little afraid, if something was wrong, it would be embarrassing to be invited out of the house again.
After listening to the details of the matter, Marina was really a little unhappy, although she hadn't reached out yet, but her face was also very unkind, "Hmph, I know that you didn't have any good ideas, sent away Louis's dead fat man, and found an Oriental." Just ask you, if you don't get married, if not, I'll find a rope and hang myself in a while. β
Poof, Huo Nan just took a sip of hot water, and now it all squirted out, looking at his serious daughter, he was a little surprised, this aunt will commit suicide? Isn't that a ridiculous joke? However, from Marina's tone, Holnan still judged that her baby daughter was still very resistant to marriage, and blamed herself for spoiling her too much before, and now she was a little reluctant to be strict. In fact, in the territory of the Holy Empire, noble marriages are commonplace, it can be said that nine out of nine aristocratic marriages are marriages, this is also a consensus, noble women have understood this truth since they were eight years old, so there will be no resistance when they marry, and when it comes to Marina, everything is different. Holnan won't mess around with Marina, the Orientals are not Franks, and they are about to hit Suplin Castle, no matter whether the marriage can succeed or not, they can't stiffen the relationship and make the Orientals unhappy, plus the help of the northern white grape nobles, can the Hongputang nobles led by the Weiting family still have a way to live? At this time, it is completely wishful thinking to count on the eastern nobles and the Danube nobles, in the face of the oppression of the Orientals, these forces can only protect themselves, how can they take care of the red grape nobles, the Henry family and the Senate are not fools, it is estimated that they are thinking about how to build a good relationship with the Orientals at this time. For the Kingdom of Lorraine, there is absolutely only good and no harm in building a good relationship with the Orientals, and the Imperial Avenue that runs through the east and west has been built, and once completed, this Imperial Avenue will carry a large circulation of goods, and whoever can get a piece of the pie will bring infinite wealth.
After pondering for a moment, he had an idea in his heart, Holnan took Marina's hand and patted it gently, "What are you talking about, what is immortal, don't talk nonsense, you are like this, God will not dare to accept you." Don't be too busy refusing first, I heard that the Eastern Emperor is not too old, wait until you see him, if you are not satisfied, let's think of other ways, in short, you have to cooperate with me to deal with Royce. Since you are a woman of the Wei Ting family, you must do something. β
"Oh, that's okay" Marina is not the kind of person who messes around, the news about the Orientals has not been interrupted these days, I heard that now the city of Festac has been defeated, and the Orientals are so strong that anyone has to give some face. If you refuse to marry, if the Oriental feels that they have lost face, I am afraid that it will bring great disasters to the family. Horner and Marina talked a lot, and Marina had never been quieter than she was today.
As the initiator of the marriage, Royce lived in Varro Manor calmly, as if the outside had nothing to do with him. At the beginning, he didn't expect that the Malot caravan could have such a big impact, and the Wei Ting family blatantly took back the management of Merlin Avenue. The interests of Merlin Avenue are not fatal, but the significance is unusually great, and as soon as this incident comes out, it is impossible for Merlin City to continue to be peaceful. Sure enough, in the evening of the same day, Yakuta came to the residence, "Your Excellency Royce, the Duke has prepared a banquet in the castle hall, and I invite you to attend. β
Royce didn't think much about it, and under normal circumstances, it was time for Hornan to make the next move. Although it was only a temporary banquet, the banquet held at Varro Manor, no matter how small, would attract the attention of countless people, and many nobles from Merlin City came to the banquet, and Marina also changed her previous costume and changed into a court dress. In addition to the nobles of Merlin City, those foreign forces are the most eye-catching, Royce naturally represents the interests of the Great Song Empire and Northern Lorraine, the envoy of the Frankish Kingdom Caron, and the other is a member of the royal family from Thurin City, Moore? Henry. As a prince, Moore was able to come to Merlin City in person, and the purpose was self-evident, and it was naturally for the marriage incident, because the marriage of the Weiting family would determine the final direction of the Kingdom of Lorraine. CuarΓ³n still looked arrogant, walking in the crowd with a wine glass, as if he was the owner of the manor, but Royce, who looked very low-key. Royce had to keep a low profile, this was the first time he had taken on a heavy role, and he had no experience, so he had to look and think more, do less and talk less, because the more he did, the easier it was to make mistakes. It's better to have a static brake and let Cuaron and Moore strike first.
The atmosphere of the banquet was warm and hot, the nobles pushed their glasses and changed their lamps, and some talked and laughed, but everyone knew that there would be a secret battle at the banquet tonight, and this dark battle would directly determine the future trend of the Lorraine Kingdom. Moore also had an idea with Royce, of course the royal family didn't want the Weiting family to fall to the Orientals, and the Weiting family to the Easterners would not benefit the royal family at all. The Orientals are different from the Franks, once the Kingdom of Lorraine falls to the Orientals, the power of the royal family will inevitably shrink significantly, and there is no ability to resist at all. If it is a Frank, with the strength of the Henry family, it is completely possible to slowly try it and get rid of the shackles. Caron thought more simply, he felt that the Orientals might not be very powerful, the Frankish Kingdom was close to the west coast, why be afraid of the Orientals, as long as the Weiting family was not stupid, they should know how to choose. The southern red-grape aristocracy begged for a living at the feet of the Frankish kingdom, and they had to bear the consequences of falling to the Easterners. For the strength of the Frankish kingdom, Caron has a strong self-confidence. In the middle of the banquet, Huo Nan sat down with the representatives of various forces, and it was also strange that Huo Nan did not mention the marriage and alliance at all, but just said some trivial things, and by the way, he also mentioned the affairs of the Wei Lan family and the Luke family.
Huo Nan is not in a hurry, others have to endure even if they are in a hurry, everyone who can negotiate on behalf of them is a scheming figure, and whoever can't help it first at this time will be disadvantaged. Royce adhered to the strategy of braking with static, Moore spent his time watching the excitement, and CuarΓ³n was not a bird. At this time, Marina, who was dressed in full costume, sat next to Huo Nan with some anger, "Father, the Weilan family and the Luke family deceived people too much, and they snatched the child's jujube red horse. β
Moore and the others were all a little stunned, they didn't know what the hell Marina was doing, even if the Weilan family and the Luke family wanted to retaliate, they didn't need to attack a horse, it would be too unacceptable. Royce opened his mouth, but finally said nothing, and Caron also frowned, and cursed the old fox in his heart. Holnan didn't seem to care about the other three, and said to Marina dotingly, "Don't worry, they won't hurt you." β
Holnan seemed to be comforting Marina, but in fact he was secretly observing the other three. Hmph, if you want to get the support of the Weiting family, how can it be if you don't want to pay some price? Hornan just wants to show his attitude, if he wants to get the support of the Weiting family, it's not impossible, first help to defeat the opposition led by the Luke family. CuarΓ³n was the first to figure out the crux of the matter, and Royce and Moore then figured out Holnan's intentions. Moore is the most relaxed person, in contrast, Caron and Royce are a little entangled, can this help or not? Hornan is also too cunning to mention the alliance, and the Luke family's affairs are also said through Marina's mouth, and they don't talk about the alliance at all, and whether they help or not is voluntary. Caron has a headache, the Luke family and the Weilan family are also old forces in Merlin City, especially the Luke family, known as the evergreen tree in the southern country, and being able to be among the nobles of Merlin for a hundred years without falling is a kind of strength in itself. If Holnan agrees to the marriage, it is not a problem for the Frankish Kingdom to help defeat the Luke family, the key is that Holnan's current attitude is very subtle, what if he helps and still can't marry, isn't it a bamboo basket for nothing?
Caron and Royce were calm on the surface, but they were already thinking about it in their hearts, Royce was not as old as Cuaron after all, and the expression on his face became more and more anxious, he had never encountered such a. Caron looked very calm, and after a moment of thought, he put down his wine glass and said with a smile, "Lord Duke, you are a friend of the Frankish Kingdom, and your enemy is the enemy of the Kingdom. β
Mo looked at the words that were not painful or itchy, but they had already shown Caron's attitude, and Royce chuckled in his heart, regretting that he was too conservative. Seeing Holnan smiling and nodding to Caron, the sense of uneasiness intensified, and he couldn't help but stand up, take two steps forward, salute Marina, and then took out the luxurious box he was carrying, "Honorable Miss Marina, this gift is a little bit of the North Lorraine family, and I hope you can accept it." As a vassal of the regent, Royce swore an oath to Miss Marina on behalf of the Sosa family, and only needed Miss Marina's words, and the Sosa family would not hesitate to go to the soup. β
Royce's movements were too fast, Holnan was a little surprised, and Marina looked at the golden box in front of her at a loss, especially in Royce's words, which also hid a mystery. Hornan glared at Royce with some hatred, De Kler's son, who was really a bit of a hurry, was originally a difficult choice, but it was thrown into Marina's hands. At this time, what kind of choice Marina wants, no matter what kind of choice, it means that the marriage is tacit, because only the future princess of the Eastern Emperor can order the Sosa family. If there was no one around, Hornan couldn't wait to tear this young Royce with his own hands, this guy was simply too yin. Marina trembled as she took the box containing the Queen's Flower and looked at Hornan at a loss, she hadn't mentioned this situation when she had discussed it before. Royce, this guy, simply doesn't play according to the routine, if he has the opportunity, he must tattoo seven or eight holes in Royce's body, there is no such disgusting person.
"Okay, okay, it's a trivial matter, why bother you, since it's the North Lorraine family's intentions, Marina, you can take it first, as for the Luke family's affairs, we will solve it ourselves" Hornan was comforting Marina on the surface, but his voice was not small, and the people at the banquet could hear it clearly. At this moment, not only Royce breathed a sigh of relief, but even Caron breathed a long sigh of relief. Anyway, it's a good thing that everyone hasn't been cheated by Hornan. Moore shook his head in disappointment, there was no good show to watch at the moment.
After the feast was over, they returned to their lodgings, and when they entered the house, Royce was like a prostration, leaning directly against the door panel and gasping for breath. He finally saw what it means to eat people without spitting out bones, compared to Huo Nan and these people, he is too immature, if he is not in a hurry today, I am afraid that he will really be encircled. Similarly, Holnan's mood was not very good, he borrowed a knife to kill people, and was destroyed by Royce, a stinky boy, after the crowd left, Marina angrily played with the box in her hand, and her mouth was still unforgiving, "Father, that Royce is really hateful, with someone like Royce, it is estimated that the regent of the East is not much better." β
"Shhhh Hey... No, good girl, open the box and see what it is. β
I was a little confused just now, and it wasn't until this time that Huo Nan reacted, Marina didn't know why, she opened the box according to her words, and when she looked at it, she suddenly couldn't move it, "Ah... What a beautiful hairpin, what a beautiful gem...."
Marina smiled, but she didn't notice that Daddy's face had turned black to the bottom of the pot. Huo Nan stroked his forehead, there was a deep sense of powerlessness, sometimes ignorance is also a blessing, "My good daughter, you are beautiful, but do you know what this thing is?" Marina didn't care at all, playing with the hairpin, and couldn't put it down, "Isn't it just a hairpin, although it is more beautiful, but with the strength of our Weiting family, it is not difficult to build a branch." Father, what kind of expression do you have, is the child wrong? β
"You.... You really don't know, this is the Queen's Flower, and only the mistress of the Kingdom of Lorraine can wear it. This Royce is really a little fox, accept this hairpin today, and tomorrow our Weiting family will have to breathe out with the Sosa family in one nostril, "Hornan is much older than Marina, can the queen's flower be worn casually?" Isn't this tantamount to a disguised endorsement of marriage? It felt very uncomfortable to be tricked by someone, and Marina knew that this was the queen's flower, so she also felt a little hot, and even reluctantly put it back in the box, "This Royce is really too bad, I'll go find her!" β
Marina said to do it, grabbed the box and walked out of the hall quickly, Hornan raised her hand and opened her mouth to shout, but finally closed her mouth again, and soon a wicked smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Royce, Royce, after all, is young, not as experienced as De Kohler after all. Besides, Marina was so angry with Royce that she ate the Queen's Flower and went directly to the guest room on the west side of the manor, and when she saw that there was still light in the house, she pinched her waist and shouted loudly, "Royce, you bastard, get out of here, give you half an hour, if you don't come out, Miss Ben will burn you into charcoal." Hmph, if you dare to play tricks on Miss Ben's head, you are impatient. β
Royce was a little quick-witted, but he made a lot of calculations and missed Miss Marina, who was notoriously unconventional, no, as soon as Royce lay down, he was knocked on the door by the eldest lady. Listening to the shouting and scolding outside the house, Royce's head was full of sweat, should this aunt be so arrogant, the princess of the dignified Weiting family actually blocked the door of the guests and scolded, but Royce didn't dare to do anything to Marina, this is the future princess, unless she doesn't plan to marry successfully. Putting on his clothes, Royce hurriedly ran out of the house, and saw that more than a dozen guards had already lit up torches, so frightened that his face turned white, and hurriedly saluted, "Miss Marina, what's the matter, is someone messing with you?" β
"Yes, you provoked Miss Ben, are you really bold enough to take Miss Ben for a fool? What's the matter with the queen's flower in this box, it's up to you, I also want to talk about Miss Dongben's marriage, what is that Eastern Regent, if he wants to marry, roll over by himself, hum, won't that the regent be the same as Louis, he is too old to walk, right? Miss Marina was open-mouthed and said whatever she wanted, and Royce was half stunned to death. His Royal Highness the Prince Regent is in his prime, and he is the most glorious age of his life, why is he too old to walk? Can Louis compare with the regent, Royce even rolled his eyes, and after thinking for a long time, he didn't know how to reply to Marina, so he could only swallow his saliva and said very depressedly, "Miss Marina, the regent is noble, and the Saxon military situation is urgent, I'm afraid I won't be able to come to Merlin City for a while." β
"I can't bother you to come here, an unsightly thing, and I want to find Miss Ben to marry, oh, this thing will be returned to you, and I won't play with my heart in front of me in the future, and next time, I will break your legs" Marina raised her hand and threw the box over, it was the queen's flower, Royce was so frightened that he propped up his robe and covered the box. Whew, eldest lady, can you be a little more normal, if you break the queen's flower, wouldn't it be a joke? Marina didn't care about the queen's flower, let alone Royce's bitter gourd face, and when she finished her work, she turned around and left, even with a dozen family guards and a sympathetic look at Royce. Lord Royce is also a young hero, and when he meets Miss Marina, he can only sigh in vain.
Royce sat on the grass, exuding a sense of powerlessness all over his body, knowing that marriage was a difficult task, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult, Marina was simply an invisible mountain. In the study, Hornan drank sweet soup, which was originally a very tricky thing, and when he met a good daughter, he solved it directly, effortlessly, and sometimes he didn't play cards according to the routine, which is also beneficial, is this a typical wisdom and foolishness? Even if Marina was angry, that is, half a cup of tea, she had already put aside the previous things at this time, and chatted heartlessly with Hornan, with a smile on her pretty face, "Father, you don't know that Royce's face is as swollen as a pig's liver." β
"That's fine, teach Royce a lesson, save this kid from relying on De Kole's power to do nonsense in the future, but well, good daughter, you really have to think about the marriage" As soon as Holnan talked about marriage, he had a little headache, and the marriage was almost an ending that could not be changed. Even if he could agree to Marina's choice of her husband, the Red Grape nobles would not agree, and Marina's marriage was related to the future of the Red Grape nobles. Marina obviously didn't listen to it, and tilted her head nonchalantly, "Ah, you old man is really verbose, you better solve the trouble of the Luke family first." β
"You.... I have no conscience, I have raised you for so many years" Huo Nan could only smile and scold helplessly, as for the Luke family and the Wei Lan family, he had already dealt with it, no accident, there would not be much trouble.
There was an undercurrent surging in Merlin City, and in the distance, Umsburg finally kicked off the offensive and defensive prelude. After solving the enemy in the misty forest, Zhao Yougong began the attack and defense of Yumsburg, and now the offensive and defensive battle of Yumsburg has entered the white-hot stage, and tens of thousands of soldiers in front are fighting bloodily, Zhao Yougong is also planning the next step in the handsome tent, "I didn't expect Yumsburg to resist so fiercely, but it was a little unexpected, but according to the observation of the spies, the defenders of Yumsburg may not be monolithic." The current lord of the city, Yuliko, was originally a Prussian, but was later defeated and became the lord of Yumsburg, so we might as well put some effort into this. In the afternoon, Changk, you will withdraw the troops and horses attacking the southern city, and concentrate your forces on the western wall where the church soldiers are stationed. In addition, throw the captured captives under the city of Yumsburg, and the king will see that Yuliko does not care whether these captives live or die. β
Gao Zhong was overjoyed when he heard this, and soon after, the offensive and defensive situation of Yumsburg changed, and the national army was originally scheduled to attack on three sides, but now it was withdrawn on two roads, and most of the troops were concentrated to attack the western wall garrisoned by Turik. This change made the defenders of Yumsburg nervous, especially Yuliko, who was a little unable to understand the current situation. Towards the end of the day, there was another change, and a large number of Germanic captives were thrown under the city, which stunned the defenders at the head of the city. Looking at the captives under the city, Yuliko frowned, as if there was a knife hanging from his neck, and the commander beside him asked with some anxiety, "Lord Yuliko, what should we do, do you want to let these captives in?" β
"Don't, wait and talk about it, these are all captives of the Orientals, the Orientals have taken the wrong medicine, let these people go?" Jurico had to suspect that as long as he was a normal person, he would be worried about fraud. Of course, these people are all Hohenzollerns, and if they are all from Yumsburg, it would be a different situation, not their own people, and they really can't be trusted. The captives were frozen under the city, where could they stand it, and shouted and cursed at the city, "Don't let us into the city quickly, the orientals are far away now, and it will be too late to open the city gate later." We want to see Lord Turik, who is God's soldiers and deserves to be saved. β
Yu Like scolded his mother in his heart, the soldiers of the church are different, and they are confident when they are prisoners. Jurico wanted to let these captives fend for themselves, but the news soon reached the ears of Turik, who could not watch his soldiers being slaughtered, and immediately ran to the southern city wall, looked down, and said to Yurico, "Lord Jurico, the people in the city are all the people of the church, so there should be no problem. Regardless of whether the Easterners have any intrigues or intrigues, we must save these people, otherwise the army will be discouraged, and Yumsburg will not be able to defend it. β
This time, Yurico didn't listen to Turick's words, he frowned tightly and refused without hesitation, "Impossible, what if these people are rebelled against by the Orientals?" I also hope that Master Turrick will focus on the overall situation and not be emotional. β
Yumsburg is the territory of the Yuliko family, how can Turick, an outsider, feel distressed? For the sake of Yumsburg, Yuliko didn't want to take the slightest risk, and other Yumsburg natives also had the same idea as Yuliko, they were all a group of Hohenzollerns, what did life and death have to do with them, why take risks for these people? Gradually, Turik's face became very ugly, and he didn't expect Yurico to refuse so simply, but the captives in the city were all staring at it, if they didn't do anything, let alone the captives, what would the church soldiers in the city think? After thinking for a moment, Turik clenched the hilt of his sword and said righteously, "These people must be allowed into the city, Lord Yuliko, at this moment, you and I should be sincerely united, my lord can rest assured, if anything happens, I, Turik, will bear it alone, come to the city, open the city gate, and let those people into the city." β
Turrick didn't have the slightest intention of negotiating, and the soldiers belonging to the church went straight to the city gates, which were soon opened and the captives poured in. Yulik didn't say anything from beginning to end, but in his heart, he had already regarded Turrick as a dead man. Sooner or later, this turik would have killed everyone, and at this moment, Yurico finally had the idea of surrendering. Of course, all this is not only because of Turik, but also because the Orientals are too strong, and Yurico has long lost hope of defending the city. The first batch of captives had just entered the city, and in just half an hour, the second batch of captives was thrown under the city again, this time, Yuliko smiled and took the first batch of prisoners, what about the second batch? Turik, Turik, isn't this a hot potato for yourself?
Zhao Yougong and the others observed the battle situation in Yumsburg with a clairvoyant mirror, and when they saw the first batch of captives entering the city, he relaxed his heart, and Yerusha smiled with some disdain, "Your Highness, this Turik is still as stupid as usual, and he has offended Yulik to death now." As for the second group of captives, it no longer matters whether they enter the city or not. Isn't it time for our people to withdraw, and if we continue to fight, there is not much need. β
"Well, let the soldiers and horses in the west tear it off, everyone have a good rest, and prepare to attack again tonight" Zhao Yougong put down the clairvoyant mirror and stretched his waist easily, and it was a lot less trouble to meet an idiot like Turick. The Dingguo army withdrew, and there seemed to be no danger, and after Turik repeatedly confirmed that there was no problem, he opened the city gate again, and the second group of prisoners entered the city in this way, and from beginning to end, the ancient town cavalry did not intervene. In the evening, as Tulik and Jurico went to rest elsewhere, a Slavic man who had infiltrated the city handed a letter to Jurico, "Lord Duke, His Royal Highness the Lord Regent can guarantee that as long as the Jurico family opens the city gates, the interests of the Duke's family will be guaranteed." Otherwise, it will not benefit anyone to storm the city. β
Yurico was not at all surprised that enemy spies were infiltrated among the captives, and when the Easterners withdrew from the battle at the Western Wall, he knew that Turik was dead and could not die again. This is Yumsburg, not the core area of the church, and when he arrives at Yumsburg, Turrick can't let go of the body of the church legion, if he doesn't die, who will die? To be precise, Julico, like all Germanic nobles, had an innate aversion to the Church, and the Church was so powerful that no one wanted to share their interests with the Church. Since Jurico has decided to kill Tulik, he will not hesitate for the slightest, "You can inform the regent that you can enter through the south gate after dark, but what the regent promised must also be done." β
"Don't worry, Lord Duke, the regent will do what he says, and he will definitely ensure the interests of the Yurico family" The people who came did not hesitate, for the Great Song Empire, the interests of the Yuliko family were insignificant. Turrick never knew that he had become a dead man in the eyes of others while he was still figuring out how to defend Yumsburg. At about the end of the day, the Jerusha army quietly came to the southern city, the city gate was opened, and in the blink of an eye, the quiet Yumsburg fell into chaos, and the army of the Jerusha army cooperated with the soldiers of the Yurico family to concentrate their forces against the church soldiers, where did Turrick think that the danger would come from his side, and in a hurry, the soldiers stationed on the streets of the west city were exterminated one by one. As he approached, there were only a few hundred remnants left around Turick, who were forced to be in the corner of the western city wall. It was only a matter of time before he was defeated, but Turrick was full of unwillingness, and when he saw Yurico coming out of the crowd, he looked at Yuliko fiercely, "Yuliko, why are you doing this?" β
"Don't you understand, Turik? Really, you're really stupid, do you know what this place is, it's Yumsburg, it's not Hohenzollern, why do you say open the gates, open the gates? If something goes wrong, can you really afford to take responsibility? I don't care if you die or not, but the Yuliko family and the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Yumsburg can't be buried with you. I warned you a long time ago not to let the captives into the city, but if you don't listen, the captives you let in send me a letter. Your failure is to blame, no one else is to blame, this is a battlefield, stupidity will only kill more people" Yuliko shook his head with a wry smile, he couldn't be happy when he saw Turik become like this, if it wasn't hopeless, who would want to betray the Holy Empire? No one wants to be a traitor, but in order to survive, you can only be a traitor, "Turick, go to God and be loyal to the Pope." β
With his right hand raised, countless longbowmen stretched out their bows and arrows, and Turrick smiled miserably, he didn't expect to die like this. I thought that escaping from the top of the Angry Water Mountain to Yumsburg would be a way to survive, but it turned out to be a dead end, if I had known that this was the case, it would have been better to fight to the death with the Orientals on the top of the Angry Water Mountain. It's also fate, and it's really no wonder that others. A rain of arrows took Turick's life, and the Battle of Yumsburg was of great significance, as it represented the complete fall of the Church's power, and it was no longer able to affect the Germanic Empire as it had done before.
Zhao Yougong mobilized the Dingguo Army to exterminate the church soldiers in Tulik, in a sense, he was also doing a favor to the Germanic nobles, just like Yuliko, in normal times, he didn't have the courage to blatantly attack the church personnel.
