Conquer the Dawn of Heaven - v7 Chapter 296

The waves of wheat on the hillside in the distance sway like golden seawater with the already slightly cool autumn wind. The waves of golden waves look so pleasing to the eye.

In addition to the joy of a bumper harvest, autumn can bring people hope for the coming year. Especially in recent years, as the weather seems to get colder and colder, the good harvest of this year is more precious.

Ruosha has already issued an order to the Sicilian army, except for the necessary patrols, there is no reason for anyone to harass nearby villages, let alone destroy farmland.

The queen’s immense prestige in the army is unparalleled, which allows her orders to be carried out without compromise.

Ruosha believes that even now, no one pays too much attention to the changes in the weather. Even if Alexander hadn’t discussed it with her seriously before, she would not care too much about the impact of climate change. Changes.

But now Ruosha knows that as the weather has gradually turned cold in recent years, the harvest of crops will gradually decline, and it may not take a few years for all parts of Europe to gradually experience food shortages caused by poor harvests.

Although they had been prepared for this prospect that did not know when it would appear, Ruosha was still instinctively worried.

After all, the power of nature is too powerful. Just think about the terrible plague that swept across Europe that broke out in Italy two centuries ago, and you can know how vulnerable people are in front of nature.

At that time, Europe was completely shrouded in the wings of the **** of death. Although people prayed countless times, it was still town after town, and city after city fell under the **** of death’s sickle.

It was from that time that people had an unprecedented wave of sway to the church. People began to doubt what God had created and protected. At the same time, people even more doubted that the church had no meaning before God.

It is precisely because of this kind of doubt that people begin to reflect on what they can do, but even with this kind of reflection, human vulnerability is still so obvious in front of nature.

Ruosha is also deeply touched by this fragility. She has not forgotten the famine faced by Naples a few years ago. Because of this, she is convinced of Alexander’s speculation that a bigger famine may occur again with climate change.

“I never thought that Castile would have such a fertile land,” Ruosha bent down, holding the skirt in one hand and grabbing the soil from the ground with the other hand, gently twisting the soil. The unique smell of the soil is slightly wet and sticky. Even Ruo Sha, who doesn’t know anything about farming, knows that this kind of land is really fertile. “I don’t know how the land in Aragon is.”

Knight Don De Cliar, who was standing next to Rusha, had a heartbeat when he heard the Queen’s words.

He couldn’t help but glanced at Ruosha quietly, and flashed through the words Gonzalo had said to him before leaving.

When deciding to follow Alexander to the north, Gonzalo handed over his army to the command of Don De Cliar.

He did this to prevent accidents in this trip northward, then the army in the south could become his last resort.

Although it is unlikely to blatantly rebel, as long as the army is under the control of his friend Don De Kliar, no matter what it is, he must be scrupulous about how to deal with him, as long as this is enough.

Before leaving, Gonzalo said to the Cavalier Don De Cliar: “The queen is young, but has ambitions that are completely incompatible with her age. Maybe we will see another war. At that time, maybe we will fight alongside her.”

Knight Don De Cliar didn’t fully understand what Gonzalo meant at the time, but now he admires his friend’s vision very much.

The young queen has huge ambitions. The end of a war may just mean the beginning of another war for her. Has her eyes turned to Aragon now?

After crossing the Guadalupe Mountains, the Sicilian army did not continue to advance all the way north, but embarked on the road to Toledo.

It is not very far from Guadalupeshan to Toledo. Most of the north-south mountain ranges form large and small valleys, which caused some trouble for the march to Toledo.

Because of this, the Don De Cliar knight had to come to the Sicilian army to discuss the route of the two armies with Ruo Sha. What made Don De Cliar cared about was that the Sicilian army seemed to have entered Toledo first. intention.

In the previous march, most of the two armies sent advance troops into some towns at the same time. This has become a tacit understanding between the two armies, but this time Ruosha clearly had other ideas.

And her attitude is unusually firm.

“The Sicilian army must first enter Toledo, then the Castilian army can enter Toledo, and my army will take the initiative to withdraw, but this sequence is necessary,” Ruosha said to Don De Klyar Knight said, “Knight, I think you should understand that I made this decision so that we can all have a more decent step.”

The knight Don De Kliar groaned a little, he knew what was the reason Rusha insisted on doing this, but it made him somewhat unwilling.

No one can deny the victory of the Sicilian army in the Battle of Seville. Gonzalo, who had won a great victory in Europe, became the queen’s defeated general. Although it sounds strange, it is true. .

This battle is not only the victory of Ruosha, but also the victory of the entire Kingdom of Sicily. This is related to the honor of everyone in the Sicilian army. The relationship between the two sides must not be diluted or obliterated.

So entering Toledo first became the key to proving the honor of the Sicilian army, and if the two armies enter Toledo at the same time, how much will this happen, because it means the Castilian army commanded by Gonzalo Alexander had already betrayed Castile before he entered Valaridod.

Although everyone knows that this is actually the truth, an excuse is still needed to cover it up.

After all, Alexander was not the regent at that time.

If the Castilian army enters Toledo first, the Sicilians will not be able to enter the city, after all, the two armies are still at war at least in name.

Then Ruosha would not be able to walk into this significant city, which she absolutely could not accept.

And if the Sicilian army takes the city in name and then voluntarily retreats due to the arrival of the Castilians, this can at least be a means acceptable to both parties.

Then, with Alexander’s orders, the two armies could truly march towards Valaridod at the same time.

This was a trouble that might sound like a superfluous one, but Knight Don De Cliar knew that this seemed to be the only way to solve the immediate problem.

“However, knight, you must ensure that my army will not encounter any hostility when entering Toledo, otherwise we will take the necessary measures.” Ruosha’s eyes were severe. At this time, she did not have the gentleness and charmingness when she was in front of Alexander. Ruosha is the queen of Sicily and the commander-in-chief of the army who has just won a big victory.

Knight Don Decliar thought for a while and finally nodded in agreement. He suddenly felt that Gonzalo chose to leave his army at this time, perhaps because he had guessed the series of embarrassing situations he might face next.

This was obviously unacceptable to the proud Gonzalo, so he threw these problems to his good friend.

If you want to lose yourself without losing yourself, the Don De Cliar Cavaliers began to feel that he was being tricked by a friend.

After the waves caused by Alexander’s arrival have not yet completely subsided, the arrival of the Queen of Sicily brought another earthquake to Tuledo City.

When the people sent by the Knight Don De Cliar explained all this to them, some Castilian nobles expressed strong opposition.

They even threatened to fight the Sicilians to the death, and strongly demanded that the Don De Cliar knight reject the unreasonable condition of the Sicilians.

And those who are more or less excited about this suggestion dare not easily agree, after all, it will not only lose their honor, but may even be labeled as a traitor.

But the Sicilians obviously didn’t give them time to continue arguing.

Under Ruosha’s order, led by the troops led by Lakush, the Sicilian army quickly advanced along a valley towards the city of Toledo.

The Sicilians did not hide their actions. They even sent people outside Toledo to announce their marching route.

This move instantly squeezed the lords of Toledo to the point where they could not retreat.

Ruosha’s intentions were obvious. Either let the horse come over and everyone had a good time, or open the city gate obediently to welcome the arrival of the Sicilian army.

After some disputes, the Toledo people finally made their final efforts. They made conditions to the messengers sent by Ruosha and emphasized that if they are not accepted, they will not hesitate to coexist and die with Toledo City.

So after two days, Ruosha dismounted and walked on the way to the city according to the conditions put forward by the Toledo people, and at the same time took off the saber symbolically.

The Toledo people finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then the Archbishop of Toledo once again became the focus of attention.

People still remember the last time he bowed and even kissed Alexander in front of Alexander. This time the arrival of a queen who entered Toledo as a conqueror with the might of a great victory, the archbishop had to Faced with a difficult choice again.

The queen is Alexander’s half-sister and has a more noble status, so since she has already worshipped her brother, it seems that it is no big deal to worship her sister.

As long as you think about it this way, the archbishop feels that he can bend down with peace of mind, but when he thinks that the other party is a foreign monarch, the archbishop feels that he is really embarrassed.

Fortunately, Ruosha did not show unusual toughness like Alexander. On the contrary, she treated Toledo’s uneasy nobles and priests with a polite manner. Think about Alexander’s previous actions that made them faceless. The Ledo people even sighed, “They are all born to a mother, so people are different from each other”.

And Ruosa did not let the Castilian army outside the city wait for a long time. Just after she held a public prayer in Toledo Cathedral like Alexander, she took the guard and left the city from the other side of the city.

Almost at the same time, the Castilian army entered Toledo.

Once again, the archbishop had to dress up like a prostitute who greeted his benefactor and stood on the square waiting for the newcomer to come.

Fortunately, this time the knight Don De Cliar’s extremely respectful and humble attitude finally made the archbishop somehow regain his dignity, feeling that he was not a prostitute waiting for his benefactor.

Ruosa is actually not interested in Toledo, her heart has already flown to Valaridod at this time.

I haven’t seen Alexander for a while, and Ruo Sha feels uneasy just thinking that he is now in the deep palace.

The conspiracy in the palace is more terrifying than on the battlefield, and how many invincible famous generals who dominate the battlefield eventually fell into the sand in the seemingly luxurious and prosperous palace.

There are still too few people around Alexander who can be trusted. What is that Moor doing now, and Tiego. Why doesn’t Alexander call him around?

Ruosa felt that Alexander didn’t need her more than now, and the stronger she showed here, the safer Alexander would be in Valaridod.

So she found Kurash again and gave a very important order to the Balkans.

“Take all the cavalry you can take away, and find a reliable guide. I want you to be in Valaritod within two days.”

To the queen’s order, Kuras did not ask why, he just told his brother to be more careful, and then quickly assembled almost all of his cavalry and hurried towards Valaritod that afternoon.

So Kuras didn’t know that just shortly after he left, following news from an attendant who hurriedly arrived from Toledo, the bad news about the pope’s sudden disappearance quickly spread among the Sicilian army.

Both the officer and the soldier were shocked by surprise, and then a tense atmosphere instantly spread throughout the army.

Even without receiving Ruo Sha’s order, many officers had already begun to issue preparation orders to their subordinates. At this moment, almost everyone realized that perhaps a war was really coming.

Ruo Sha was also shocked by the unexpected news.

She knew better than others what it would mean if the Pope had an accident, so when she heard that the army began to prepare for war without an order, she did not get angry, but immediately turned this unauthorized action into her own order. .

“Go and tell the Cavalier Don De Cliar, no matter what attitude the Castilians have, I have already given the order to advance to Aragon, so I hope the Castilians can give me what I have at this time. Help. My army needs food, weapons and expedition vehicles. I think he can provide me with these things.”

The attendant who delivered the letter had obviously known in advance that he might have to rush back and forth, so he had urged him to prepare dry food and water, and after receiving the Queen’s order, he immediately hurried back to Toledo.

“What happened?”

After being alone, Ruo Sha started to wonder what went wrong.

They knew that Alexander VI might be in danger, but it was incredible when the bad news came.

Like Alexander, Ruosa does not believe that the Pope may have been killed, but this is indeed a rare opportunity.

As the Sicilian monarch of the same pedigree as the Kingdom of Aragon, Ruosa can hardly refuse the temptation of the Aragonese crown.

And she felt that this was a gift from Alexander to her. The meaning of this crown was not just a lofty status and a kingdom, but a relationship that no woman could replace between her and Alexander.

So when there was an opportunity for her to attack the Crown of Aragon, Ruosa felt that she had no reason to reject this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Lucrezia and Sophia may be proud of having given birth to Alexander, and Barendi can be proud of her being the future queen.

So what about yourself?

“I have my crown and army,” Ruosha told herself.

When the attendants who hurried back to Toledo reported Rusha’s words to the knight Don De Cliar, the nobles and priests of Toledo who had not calmed down from the sudden disappearance of the pope fell into a brief embarrassment. Among.

Many people have mixed feelings about the disappearance of Alexander VI. While secretly happy, they are worried that this may bring about even greater changes, especially the prince must be extremely angry, so someone may soon be implicated.

Who would be the victim of this accident became the cause of these people’s worries, and the unusually clear attitude of the Queen of Sicily made them in a dilemma.

If you refuse the request of the Sicilian army at this time, UU reading www. uukanshu. Com is likely to be regarded as an accomplice in murdering the Pope, but if they agree to the queen’s request, it means that they have acquiesced to the presence of the Sicilian army in Castile.

At this time, the Toledo people suddenly missed Alexander very strongly, and what they hope most is that Alexander can give them a clear order in the name of the Prince Regent at this time.

To the people of Toledo were not disappointed, they really quickly waited for the messenger from Vallaridou.

But earlier than them, Ruosha received a letter sent by Alexander.

“When you receive this letter, you may have heard about the Pope, but don’t worry, I believe Uliu will do this properly. I only hope you can get to Barria as soon as possible. Ridot attends my coronation…”

“…I have already ordered the appointment of Offley as Minister of Military Affairs, and I think he will come soon. This is my first important appointment. I believe the Castilians should also understand the significance of my decision. , So just as Castile is mine, our next goal is Aragon, and it belongs to you, my dear sister.”
