Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Giovanni looked at the battle report of the day in his hand, but his eyes glanced through the gap above the battle report to a woman not far away.

The woman was the wife of an earl and as one of the loyal territories of the Holy See, when the earl knew that the army of the Duke of Gandino was coming, he brought a large amount of supplies to his family to see the prince.

However, Giovanni was obviously more interested in the Earl ’s wife than the things he brought. Although the woman looked a little older, she was still charming, and she always showed a kind of expression in her eyes. The fascinating temptation made Giovanni secretly guess what the woman was like in the bedroom.

The count was still chattering next to him, and Giovanni wanted to tell him that he wanted to please his husband, as long as he would let his wife get into his bed, but Giovanni would prefer to look at a completely unaware Of her husband who was blinded in front of himself.

The count was clearly not aware of the bad taste of the Borgia family. He was still trying his best to get a good impression in front of the count, but he did not know that his wife was giggling with Giovanni to hook up with each other.

"Well Count, I already know your loyalty to the Holy See, especially His Majesty the Pope," Giovanni finally interrupted the count ’s chatter impatiently. His time was limited and he did n’t want to waste it on such a destiny. Someone who has a good time, "My army will be trimmed here for a while, but I don't think it should be too long, it depends on how I am progressing here." Speaking of which he glanced at the countess again. "Then I Just leave. During this time I need what you can provide me with enough food and wine for 20,000 people. I need other things besides these. "

Regarding Giovanni's request, the count immediately said diligently that he would never let the duke down, and then he asked carefully, there was a party that evening, and I didn't know whether the prince was willing to enjoy the light.

The count ’s attentiveness satisfied Giovanni. Although he knew that this man was doing this because he was worried that his brother from the Milanese would take the opportunity to compete for his title, but in the face of the countess who still had the charm, Giovanni Still decided to enjoy the light to the feast.

The countess was indeed a very attractive woman, and after seeing the large crowd of admirers at the banquet, Giovanni became more interested in her.

It was just that the woman seemed to understand how to arouse the interest of a man but did not let him succeed so quickly. The detached attitude of the countess throughout the night made Giovanni completely forget other things. The interest in the countess, which defeated other suitors and was able to talk to the countess alone in the corner, a person unexpectedly appeared at the banquet.

It was a gasping young man, and sweat on his head ran down his cheeks. As he walked through the hall, people were drawn to him in a hurry.

The young man was led by Giovanni's entourage, and when he saw the frowning frown of the Duke, the entourage quickly accelerated his pace.

"What's wrong, Pelotto, what happened to my father?" Giovanni was surprised when he saw the young man. He didn't expect that the accompanying Pelotto Cardron of his father would suddenly appear here away from Rome. The place.

Pelotto Cardron was one of the few truly trusted people around Alexander VI. Although he could not compare with Nomelo, who was a personal secretary, Pelotto Cardron sometimes had a relationship with Alexander VI. The world is more intimate. In addition to taking care of the pope ’s daily life, he also has to work for the pope and his mistresses ’meetings. It is said that when Julia Farnet had just become the mistress of Alexander VI, The Pope once sent Peloto Cardron to serve beside her, and there were even rumors that Pelotto Cardron himself was the Pope's "lover."

"Adult, not His Majesty the Pope, it's your brother Caesar." Pelotto Cardron hurriedly saluted, then looked at him but said nothing.

"Please forgive my lord, I'll take a look over there."

The countess made an excuse to leave, looking at her back, Giovanni licked her lips, and then said dissatisfiedly: "Listen to you, you nasty ghost, if the news you bring is not important, I will not spare you , You know what? I can take this woman to find a room to talk about. "

"Adult, this news is more important than a woman," Pelotto Cardron leaned over and whispered, "Your brother Caesar proposed to Irina of Naples."

"Frederick's daughter?" Giovanni asked unexpectedly. "You came here just to tell me this?"

"Not only that," Pelotto Cardron said anxiously. "In order to get Frederick's consent, he promised the King of Naples that if he could marry Irina, he would use Pervato as a gift. "

Pelotto Cardron's words surprised Giovanni's face, and he began to think he heard it wrong, but then his face showed anger.

"What is he doing, using Pervatore as a gift, does he think he is already the Duke of Gandino?"

Pelotto Cardron lowered his head to avoid Giovanni's eyes, but he knew that Giovanni's anger was not without reason.

Pervato is a very important area in the entire Gandino territory. In addition to the rich land that can provide rich taxes for the lords, more importantly, Pervato is an important part of Castile. One of transportation hubs.

From here, you can find almost all the roads leading to the interior of Castile, which is very important for Castilla, which is a lot behind the European countries.

In this way, Pervatore has virtually become the core of the Duke of Gandino. There is even a saying that the Earl of Pervatore is the natural heir to the Duke of Gandino.

Caesar's promise undoubtedly violated Giovanni's most sensitive place. To date, Giovanni has no children, which is obviously very unfavorable to him. At the time, his brother Juan was just because he had no descendants when he was killed. The title of the Duke of Gandino was passed to Giovanni, and now Caesar's unauthorized decision made Giovanni feel a bit of a crisis.

After his anger, Giovanni took off a huge ring from his finger, and the ruby ​​inlaid on it caused Pelotto Cardron to swallow slightly.

"I never treat anyone who works for me," Giovanni handed the ring to Pelotto Cardron. "I know you are loyal to my father, but I am his son and the eldest son, so I want you To be honest, what is my father's attitude in this matter? "

Pelotto Cardron was stunned. He didn't seem to expect Giovanni to ask this. He was a little embarrassed, but Giovanni was staring at him, and the pope's cronies hesitated slightly and then took over. The ring was pinched in the palm of your hand.

"Adult, you should know that Your Majesty likes your brother very much." Pelotto Cardron said carefully, serving in this family since he was young, he was really familiar with the Borgia family, and it was because of him Only then is this family more awesome.

"Then my father thinks Caesar is more suitable as the Duke of Gandino?" Giovanni's voice was much darker.

Previously, because the two people would not have conflicts in their future lives, although they were not in harmony with each other, but as a member of the Borgia family, Giovanni preferred to see his brother one day ascend to the Pope's throne.

But from the day Caesar suddenly announced that he would give up his priesthood, Giovanni had a great sense of crisis, and he realized that Caesar was threatening his status.

Now Pelotto Cardron's words made Giovanni even more disturbed while angry, and he began to worry a little about his father's attitude.

"So Frederick, how did he respond?"

When asked this sentence, Giovanni felt that his throat was a little dry, his eyes fixed on the attendant in front of him, and he seemed afraid of hearing the worst news from his mouth.

"The King of Sicily did not agree to Caesar's proposal," Pelotto Cardron hurriedly felt Giovanni's urgency. "And Princess Irina did not seem to have much affection for Caesar. I once gave him the order. After a few letters and gifts, I felt the princess's attitude was very cold, and even a little angry. "

"Oh, that's it," Giovanni exhaled for a long time. At that moment, he felt that his chest was blocked and it seemed to explode. "It seems that my brother is not lucky, but his ambition is not small. . "

Pelotto Cardron just pretended not to hear what Giovanni said.

"So what about Lucrezia's marriage, how did he do it? Did he go to Naples to plan only for himself?" Giovanni asked ironically, and then casually said, "Now Lukrezi Ya still lives in the monastery called St. Deran, I think her life must be difficult, I hope she can leave there as soon as possible. "

Pelotto Cardron's face was amazed, and he didn't expect Giovanni to know what happened.

Taking note of the look on Pelotto Cardron's face, Giovanni immediately guessed what might have happened.

"Adult," Peloto Cardron whispered, "Your sister Lucrezia a few days ago was hijacked by that Alexander Julian Gombre."

"What?" Giovanni was taken aback

"He took her to Pizza."

"what?"

"He also launched a riot in Pisa under your sister's name and overthrew the Pisa government."

"There is such a thing?"

"Later Nomelo rescued Miss Lucrezia, and now she should have returned to Rome."

"Oh." Giovanni finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then noticed the strange look on Pelotto Cardron's face.

"Is there anything else?" Giovanni thought there was nothing to surprise him again.

"Supposedly," Peloto Cardron licked his lips. "They fell in love. I mean, Lucrezia and the gombré, they fell in love."

In an instant, Pelotto Cardron saw the dullness on Giovanni's face, and then heard a name popping out of his teeth: "Alexander Juliant Gumbre!"

While Giovanni gnashed his teeth and vowed to teach the "Naples poor boy" who offended the Borgia family, Alexander was slowly leading the hunting guard along the left bank of the tributary of the North Arno to the upstream.

People from time to time reported to him on the banks of the river, but the situation was not optimistic, because he had not found a place suitable for a large number of troops to cross the river, and Alexander's eyebrows had gradually twisted into a ball.

The meeting between Milan and the Venetians brought their troops to 33,000, including 18,000 Milanese and 15,000 Venetians. This figure is already amazing for the city-state. When in Rome, when it was heard that the enemy might organize In a coalition of more than 30,000 people, even Alexander VI couldn't help but wonder whether he could win.

So when the battle was determined, Alexander VI generously invested a lot of money to recruit mercenaries, and Giovanni, the Duke of Gandino, decided to take his troops in battle.

The 20000 Holy See and about 7,000 Genoa reinforcements, as well as the Alexandrian army of more than 2,000 people composed of Agries, Bohemia and Genoa, and less than a thousand, defended the Montina defense of Monti Newcastle This is the Vatican League just established.

33000 to 30,000!

Alexander secretly compared the strength of the two sides.

It seems that although the military strength is slightly inferior, the gap does not seem to be very large.

But Alexander knew that this was not the case.

In addition to having less troops than the enemy, the situation on the whole battlefield is very unfavorable to the Vatican League, and can even be said to be very grim!

Most of the Milan-Venice Allied Forces have already met in Realo, while the 30,000 people of the Vatican League have not yet met.

Under the command of Giovanni, the Vatican army had already crossed the Chimone hill, and the Vatican striker was about to enter the plain outside Realo.

The latest news is that seven thousand Genoese talents have just entered a small town called Talloran on the edge of Romagna.

Similarly, Alexander ’s army had reached the left bank of the North Arno River, but Giovanni ’s Vatican did not send anyone to contact him.

To make matters worse, the Fort Montina is now alone and under the direct threat of the enemy,

As long as they are willing, the Milanese can directly cross the Realo Plain and completely surround Newcastle Montina in less than half a day. This kind of almost self-defeating battle will not hesitate to attack each break, but he already knows the name of the commander sent by the Venetian this time.

Nicolo Pitilino.

When he heard the name of the enemy commander, Alexander was a little dazed for a while. He had heard of Nicolo Pitilino. Whether it is in the present or the future, Alexander has already heard of this person.

This man is so famous because he once taught French Charles VIII at the Battle of Fornovo.

"This war is not easy to fight."

A flash of shadow crossed Alexander's heart, and his eyes turned to the other side of the river.

There was a continuous mountain range that was not high but blocked the sight of Alexander.

Behind the mountain is the nominal territory he acquired for a wonderful marriage, Montina.
