1717 New American Empire

In fact, truly speaking, Italy is not yet called the Kingdom of Italy, but the Holy Roman Empire. The current emperor of the Holy Roman Empire is Charles VI, who is the Archduke of Austria, the King of Hungary, the King of Bohemia, and the King of Naples.

King of Sardinia, King of Sicily, Duke of Parma, and the second son of Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I. Charles VI was also a man who was good at fighting. Before inheriting the throne, there was a period of war.

In 1700, King Carlos II of Spain died without leaving any male heirs. Leopold I tried to win the Spanish throne for his son in order to unify the territory of the Habsburg royal family. However, Charles encountered a strong opponent

, Philip, Duke of Anjou, grandson of King Louis XIV of France. In the will of Carlos II, Philip was named the heir, so Philip ascended the throne as King of Spain in 1700 and was called Philip V.

Leopold opposed this result with the support of other European powers and initiated the War of Spanish Succession. The only country that supported Philip V was France. After the death of Emperor Joseph I, Leopold's eldest son, in 1711,

Charles inherited the thrones of Austria and the Holy Roman Empire, which made his claim to the Spanish crown less reasonable. After weighing the situation, Charles VI gave up the fight for the Spanish throne and signed the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713 to end the war.

In 1716, Charles VI allied with Venice against the Ottoman Empire. Under the leadership of Austria's most outstanding general, Prince Eugen, the Austrian army achieved a brilliant victory. In the Treaty of Passarowitz signed with the Ottoman Empire, Charles VI

He acquired parts of Serbia and Wallachia.

In the later years of Charles VI, Austria's national power tended to decline. In 1733, Austria failed in the War of Polish Succession. Charles VI was forced to transfer Sicily obtained in the War of Spanish Succession in the Treaty of Vienna in 1738.

and

Naples returned King Carlos III of Spain in exchange for the principalities of Parma and Piacenza. In the second war with the Ottoman Empire that broke out in 2001, Charles VI was also defeated, and as a result he lost his previous war.

Most of the territory captured.

However, it is only the year 173o, and Charles Sixty has not yet encountered failure. It can be said that he is still in a state of complacency, and the power in his hands is still very strong. Therefore, he cannot tolerate the recent actions of the church.

.As a king, he doesn't care about the church's beliefs. As long as it doesn't endanger his rule, he doesn't want to provoke the church. Before this, the relationship between the two parties was not to say close, but at least they were peaceful.

When the news that the church had obtained the artifact first came out, he didn't care much, and even thought it was a farce caused by the church to absorb believers. However, things changed too quickly, and his army accidentally found a man who was lucky enough to be imprisoned by the church.

The locksmith who escaped told him that he had personally seen the box. It did not look like something that could be made in the world. It was so strong that it could not be broken by slashing with swords or shooting with muskets. Cannons did not have that accuracy.

Can't hit a small metal box.

A group of locksmiths studied for several months and finally opened the first few locks. The last two were beyond their capabilities. However, the church did not intend to let these people leave. Even if they could not open it, they could still open it.

The following provides some ideas. However, because the church's attitude was not good, these locksmiths were frightened. They thought that they could not live without the church in their lives. Even if they opened the box, they thought they would be killed and silenced by the church.

There were old and young locksmiths, and most of the seven or eight people in his family depended on him for their lives. Without him, his family would be ruined. The locksmith had to survive, so he tried his best to escape from the church.

.This was also an unintentional help from some greedy people. They knew that the church had gotten good things, and they had been making up their minds. The church was exhausted in dealing with them, and inadvertently exposed a big flaw, which caused the locksmith to successfully escape.

He also knew that he could not survive on his own and had to hold on to a big thick leg. The thick leg he chose was Charles VI. When Charles VI received the news, he also took it very seriously. He was an ambitious man.

The emperor, who is about to enter his old age, wants to create greater achievements. Therefore, he is very eager for this legendary and powerful artifact. However, the church is impossible to give it to him. The church may even use the power of the artifact

, instead subverting his empire.

Charles VI did not believe that the church would not have the ambition to dominate the world. Otherwise, the Dark Middle Ages would not have existed for hundreds of years. The artifact was real, and it was still in the hands of the church. For Charles VI

, is the worst news. Because it is so close, as long as the church masters the power of the artifact, the Holy Roman Empire will definitely be the first to have problems. Charles VI does not want his kingdom to become a stepping stone for the church to regain its power.

So, he sent troops.

Charles VI has been in business for so many years, and he always has a group of completely loyal troops. These are the troops surrounding the Vatican. However, they did not dare to fight directly with the church before Charles VI gave the order. Charles

After all, the Sixth Generation is getting old, more indecisive, and still wants to solve the problem through negotiation. He has already offered a bargaining chip from the duchy and wants to exchange the artifact from the church, but how can the church be willing?

Charles VI was no longer patient. According to the inference, the church was about to open the box. Therefore, he made a prompt decision and ordered the troops to attack immediately. Eugen and the others had just established a foothold in the Vatican, and they wanted to find an opportunity to sneak into them and inquire about it.

They continued to search for the approximate location of the box, and Charles VI presented this opportunity to them. Behind this, there was also a company. In order to weaken the power of the artifact as much as possible, the company organized the French to give them to the Holy Roman Empire.

Provide weapons.

Although it is not the Hall M1819 and the Heavy Fist, it is the best weapon imitated by the French using the technology of these two weapons. At least, it is better than the muskets and artillery used by the Holy Roman Empire itself. Charles VI was not a

A stingy person, he would not let go of this opportunity to increase his strength. He would eat them all up. The Vatican has tried its best to prepare for war. The small place that originally had a few hundred people was built into a castle that can accommodate five thousand people.

.

Under the bombardment of the Imperial Army's artillery, a section of the city wall collapsed. The believers and soldiers on the church side all moved, and groups of fanatical believers brought thick wooden boards to block the gap. When Eugen and the fifteen people saw this

It was an opportunity. They tried their best to find an opportunity to escape, left the battlefield and returned to the place where they hid their weapons. Without wasting time, they immediately took out their weapons, loaded the bullets, opened the safety, and headed for the target.

They did not walk on the ground, but on the roof. They were all elite agents, trained by the Free Assassin Alliance, and the company manufactured some small things. Climbing the wall was a very easy task for them. There were fierce firefights on the battlefield.

The sound also played a certain role in covering their actions. They stayed here for more than a week and got a lot of information. Regarding this artifact, the church must be heavily guarded and a place where elite forces are concentrated. There is a high probability that

That's where the artifact is.

They marked these places and prepared to go there one by one. As soon as they found two places, they locked on one place. At this time, in order to resist the army of the Holy Roman Empire, the church could not let its elites be wasted there.

Troops from other places have been transferred to the front line, but none of the elite here has left. Eugen is sure that this is where the artifact "Golden Apple" is located. They did not alert the people outside, and there are more than a hundred temple guards.

knight.

All of them are tall and tall, and they are wearing some light breastplates. Each person has a long musket and a short musket. There is also a small steel shield on the back, and a one-handed sword hanging on the waist. They are all covered with body parts.

They all gave off an elite aura, and Eugen could tell at a glance that they must be elite veterans who had experienced battles. Of course, if the place was spacious enough, Eugen didn't care about this. With the weapons in his hands, he would definitely be able to defeat them in one day.

can be solved.

However, the terrain here is complicated, and there are many ordinary soldiers around who will definitely surround them when they hear the violent noise. They cannot afford to delay, so they do not come down from the roof, but continue to move forward, assessing their surroundings.

Then, the soldiers took out bits and pieces one by one. After a while, they actually assembled them and used them to open a hole in the roof of the civil structure. Then they looked inside.

Pope Bendo XIII {to prevent river crabs} was urging a group of locksmiths inside. He knew the power in his hands. Seriously, he would never be able to defeat the elite guards in the hands of Charles VI. The only one who can make a comeback now is

There are only golden apples. As long as they can use the golden apples, they may make a comeback and even create a "prosperous age" when the church rules the world. Therefore, the Pope did not go to the front lines to boost morale, but stayed here all the time.

The locksmiths were also very anxious. The Pope had already begun to threaten them with his life. If they had not unlocked the last lock before Charles VI's troops came in, their heads would be destroyed by those before the Pope and the others lost their heads.

The Temple Guard Knights moved away from their bodies, so these people also exerted 120,000 strength.
