Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

As the sky was getting late, the afterglow of the setting sun cast a last glimmer from the sea of ​​Direnian. At this time, the sky above the city had changed from the magnificence of the evening to the deep red like wine in the cellar for a long time. On the roof at the highest point, beside him, Aurei stared at the distant sea.

In fact, nothing can be seen from here. The port of Santa Lucia is surrounded by the harbour, and the reefs deep into the sea from both sides form a natural barrier, which brings calm and security to this harbour.

"Some late, Master." Aufrei turned his head and shouted to Alexander. He could see that the Earl seemed to have something to worry about. From the moment he sat here, although he hadn't spoken, the Earl had been playing with the sword in his waist unconsciously. Handle can detect that Alexander's mind does not seem to be on what is going to happen.

However, what is more important than what is happening right now?

Aufrei didn't understand.

Many people already know what is going to happen tonight. Of course, more people are still unclear. They only received the order to wait for the hands, and it is not clear what they did.

Only a few people really know the whole plan, including O'Leiy and the lookout boss Barr.

"Don't worry," Alexander knew what Alfred said, but what he really cared about was not what was in front of him, but what was happening in the palace. "Wait, wait."

The shore is already brightly lit, and from the heights you can see the little light swaying and swaying on the sea, which is the countless fishing boats returning home.

Alexandria suddenly felt a little dazed, he felt that he had not felt at home all these years of wandering, although Montina could be said to be his home, but sometimes it was somewhat strange, and now looking at those An inexplicable thought of homesickness came to mind on the fishing boat returning to the shore.

"Aufrei, do you miss home?" Alexander looked at the commander of the army and saw that Aufrei looked a little surprised. Alexander nodded. "You can go home for a few days when this is over, but I think We do n’t have much time, the French are coming. "

In the impression of Alexandria, Louis XII was a very contradictory person. While adopting various suppressions against the nobles to seize the power in their hands, he actively encouraged the people at the bottom to speak freely. During his reign, the University of Paris became the world ’s first An institution of higher learning that has formally established the idea of ​​university autonomy, and this idea will continue until the era when Alexander is familiar.

In the military, Louis XII is also a very special person. Sometimes he seems extremely reckless and bold, and sometimes he is cautious and prudent.

Alexander could not forget that he went to Sicily to instigate local riots when he was the Duke of Orleans, but he also remembered that in order to ensure the success of the invasion of Italy, the king simply endured the daily consumption of large amounts of materials. The loss did not formally depart from the Nice Barracks in mid-July 1499 until the artillery that he relied on to defeat the enemy arrived.

The French navy assembled in the port of Marseilles will not start until later.

So, less than a month, Alexander guessed.

Ofrei looked at the sea that had been completely dark, and then glanced at Alexander quietly. He always felt that the count's mood was a little weird, as if deliberately calming himself down.

"We are all ready, please rest assured, Master." Aufrei reminded in a low voice.

Alexander looked at the marching commander who used his eyes to suggest that he should not show an uneasy look, and only nodded with a bitter smile.

Of course, Ofrei will not know what he is worried about. In fact, all the steps have been considered repeatedly. He is not worried about whether he can succeed, but what is happening in the palace can't calm him down.

Alexander looked up at the distance, and the crescent moon had risen, bright and cold.

At this time, Ruosha was also looking up at the moon outside the window, and beside her, Alfred was sleeping deep, a trace of saliva hanging from the corner of her mouth and hanging on her face looked a little funny.

Ruosha turned her head to support her side with her arm, supported her chin with her fist, and watched Alfred ’s sleep as a baby ’s quiet face, playing with a small one in her other hand. The transparent bottle, half of the green juice remaining in it shakes slightly with her movements,

She was familiar with this face from small to large, but it was the first time she lay quietly beside her like a child and let her observe carefully.

Ruosha extended her finger and tapped on Alfred's face, then moved her finger upwards, and finally stopped on the prince's forehead.

Ruosha's eyes slowly became cold, her thumb lifted up, her three fingers closed, and then the index finger on Alfred's forehead twitched upward, and there was a soft "bang."

"Bang! Bang Bang! Bang Bang Bang!"

Suddenly, a violent smashing of the door came, accompanied by the panic shouts and the noise of running footsteps outside the room.

Ruosha put the bottle in her hand aside and stared at the door for a while without moving.

The sound of smashing the door became more and more fierce, and there was also a frightened urging shout.

"For God's sake, open the door quickly, Alfred ~"

This is the queen's voice, and there are other people shouting nonstop.

The sleeping prince seemed to make a disgruntled grunt in his throat, but he did not wake up.

Ruo Sha took the glass from the table next to it, which was filled with clear water, and she looked at Alfred. Then, when the glass in her hand turned over, the water splashed all over the prince's face.

"Ah ~"

Alfred was awakened. He jumped first and then looked blankly at Ruosha who was still holding an empty glass.

"What happened?"

"I don't know, but it seems to be your mother outside, but you can't wake you up. I can only do this." Luo Sha raised her hand in a gesture.

"What's wrong, I want to know that I am married today."

Alfred walked barefoot to the door with some annoyance and pulled the door.

Before he could open the door, the door of the room had been suddenly knocked open from the outside, and the queen rushed into the new house with fright and even almost crazy!

"Alfred, your father! Go and see your father! He's in trouble!" The queen shouted while holding Alfred's chest, her eyes were loose, she was desperately pulling her son out go with.

"What's wrong?" Alfred also panicked at once, and saw a large group of people running around in the corridor in a panic. He just had no time to look back. The newlywed took a look and was dragged out of the room by the queen. .

Ruosha slowly walked to the door, she looked calmly as a group of people ran towards Frederick's room, and then turned back to the bed, picked up from the ground, although it was gorgeous, because there were too many precious stones and complicated styles. It seems to be a little oversized.

"Your Highness."

A maid appeared at the door and saw that Luo Sha seemed to be trying to pack her clothes. She couldn't help but have some surprises. She hurried into the room to take the robe from Luo Sha, but was unexpectedly rejected.

"What do you call me?" Luo Sha looked at the maid.

"His Royal Highness, you are the princess of Prince Alfred. Of course I want to call your Highness." The maid said nervously. Many people not only had heard of this princess, but also deeply understood what she always had. Power, even in private, someone called her Queen of Naples.

"I like this title." Ruo Sha smiled, she reached out and handed it to the maid, saw the maid squatted down and took her hand to kiss, Ruo Sha smiled again "Now you can help dress up , I ’m going to see the king, I hope he ’s not going to have a big deal. "

"Yes, Your Highness." The maid began to help Zuosha in a nervous way. Because she was in a hurry, she didn't notice that Zuosha took the opportunity to get out of the mezzanine under the cumbersome and fluffy skirt when she handed her the skirt. A sharp short knife was drawn from the center.

When Luosha rushed to the king's room, she saw a group of people around the bed anxiously. The queen and Alfred were leaning over and shouting the name of the king, while the other doctors were on the other side of the bed. Keep busy.

"What's wrong?" Ruosha whispered as soon as she came over.

Frederick, who was lying, gasped continuously, his throat sounded like a full-strength bellows, and every time he gasped, there was a bad smell coming out of his mouth.

The king's eyelids shuddered, but he couldn't see his pupils between the opening and closing. His face was black and purple because of shortness of breath, and his nostrils fluttered violently.

"For God's sake, tell me what's going on!" Alfred yelled angrily at the two doctors, holding his hair in both hands. "Isn't the king okay at the banquet? What's wrong? Did someone poison? "

Alfred's words surprised everyone, and people hurriedly looked at each other, with a look of horror and suspicion in their eyes.

"Please forgive Your Highness, but we really don't know what happened," a doctor replied in a panic. "We can't see what the king really thinks. It really looks like poisoning but more like hysteria."

"What are you saying! Are you accusing the king of being evil?" The queen yelled angrily. She rushed around the bed and rushed to the two doctors, almost yelling at them, "I order you immediately Save the king, otherwise I will let you pay for your stupidity! "

The doctors looked at the queen who was completely hysterical. Although Naples had never seen such a crime because of incurable disease, but now they looked at the queen who had completely lost her mind, but they were not sure about what would happen. What a terrible fate.

Lao Sha leaned against Alfred, holding his hand and whispering comfort. At this time, she looked completely like a wife who cared about her husband, but when she occasionally looked back to Fred, who was struggling there. When it was fierce, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

"The king cannot get hysteria." Suddenly a certain voice came, and the palm seal officer Leoford appeared at the door, and behind him came the Archbishop of Naples.

Seeing the Archbishop, the Queen ’s eyes became a little panicked. She looked at Leoford, seeming to hope that he said it was not what she thought, but when she saw the same vague look on the faces of the surrounding people, the Queen was even more panicked Too.

"Why did the Archbishop come?" Alfred also looked at the Archbishop unexpectedly. He looked to Ruosha, hoping that his new wife could tell him what had happened.

"You have to calm down Alfred, maybe soon you will have a heavy responsibility," Ruosha whispered to him, seeing Alfred appear panic, Ruosha reminded him in a lower tone "Pay attention to palm prints Officer's words. "

"Your Majesty is suffering from an acute illness, and it is by no means hysteria," Leoford looked at the Archbishop. After receiving an approval, the palm seal officer continued to announce aloud, "Publicizing the king as hysteria is intentional. This is an attempt to slander our king. Temptation is to discredit the royal family and the royal family, and a shameful framing of enemies who are hostile to Sicily and Naples. "

The doctor who raised hysteria changed his face instantly. He wanted to argue with himself, but the guard who had been guarding him had already locked his throat tightly from the back with his arms so that he could not make a sound. At the same time, the palm seal officer was like a verdict Continued: "The king just got an emergency. This was verified by the archbishop himself. Any attempt to confuse the words and deeds is intolerable and must be punished."

As O'Frede looked at everyone harshly, "The king needs healing and self-cultivation, and the kingdom needs someone to govern. As the royal official, I have a responsibility to stand up for this at this time,"

"God chose and gave the king a crown, this is God's will," the archbishop said slowly, his eyes paused from lying Frederick, and then looked at Alfred, who was standing beside him. My child, you should be ready to shoulder your important tasks at this time. "

Alfred stared blankly at the Archbishop, and although he was eager to wear the crown as soon as possible, he never expected it to be in this situation.

Marrying first, and then enthroning, Alfred was stunned by the sudden "happiness" for a while.

"Wait, what are you talking about, the king just got seriously ill! Don't you think he's gone, shouldn't he treat the king as soon as possible?" Since the appearance of the archbishop, the queen has been a little ignorant because of panic and fear. When she saw that the Archbishop had hinted that her son was ready, she suddenly woke up, and the queen suddenly panicked, and she panicly explained to the people next to her, but suddenly found that people were just paying attention to Alfred's expression.

"No, I don't want to be a king. I mean I'm not ready yet ..."

Alfred, who was a little guilty under the mother's gaze, wanted to tell a few words, but before he could continue, Rusha had raised her hand to stop him.

"The King's situation is now very dangerous. At this time you should take responsibility, Alfred. Don't forget that you are the legal heir of the Kingdom of Sicily." Ruosha's voice was not loud but she was very firm, and her eyes were clear. To the people in the room, everyone who met her eyes couldn't help bowing down to salute. For a time even the Archbishop had a feeling that people in the room care more about her attitude than the prince.

The queen looked around uncomfortably, but did not get any sympathy, let alone a supportive look. People avoided the queen's gaze in the past, and then pursued Luo Sha's attention.

In a short moment, in a rather strange way, in front of the king's bedroom and Frederick, who appeared to be dying in bed, the Kingdom of Naples completed its transfer of power.

"Your Majesty, please take care of Your Majesty here," Ruo Sha walked to the back of the king and bowed to salute. When she raised her head, her eyes gleamed with the already sluggish queen. "Please believe me, Alfred will be very good. Good king. "

The queen stared at Ruosha froze, somehow, the newlywed daughter-in-law who had always made her feel vague before her now made her feel nervous, especially when she talked about Alfred, the queen even thought The urge to call out.

The king suddenly became seriously ill on the night of the prince's wedding!

The news from the royal palace spread rapidly throughout Naples at an unimaginable speed.

Soon afterwards new rumors followed, and Prince Alfred was temporarily regent!

Originally immersed in the joy of the wedding, Naples suddenly fell into a panic. At this time, the king's illness made people feel inexplicably nervous, watching the queue of soldiers who had appeared on the street, and the people who were still in the carnival began to chaos. Scattered around to run home, people know that this time is easy to change.

A rapid ring of bells struck people's hearts. There was a prayer shrine and a small bronze bell by the well where the bells came from.

A team of soldiers immediately ran to the sound, but when they arrived, they saw a shop that had been smashed through the door of the house and the contents were messy.

Obviously the looters have already escaped, and this is just the beginning.

Somehow, the city of Naples suddenly became chaotic.

The sound of the alarm bells rang everywhere, and people of unknown origin appeared on the street from time to time.

These people seem to be very familiar with Naples. They often appear suddenly in the homes of some nobles, and then the City Defense Army arrived without waiting for the news. They have already looted the houses with smart sculptures and precious gems. After leaving a mess in the city defense, continue to the next target.

The nobles gathered in the palace soon heard of this terrible bad news. The originally noisy palace became even more chaotic. The nobles were at a loss, and then angrily proposed to Prince Alfred to immediately raise the city During the search, some people even proposed martial law across the city, but Alfred seemed hesitant at this time.

"Let the mercenaries take over the entire city?" Alfred walked around the room indecisively. Those passionate nobles were ordered by him not to come in, but even then they could still hear their formation vaguely. He screamed and complained. He knew what kind of virtue the mercenaries hired by his father spent. They might be honest in ordinary times. But at this time of the day, the thought of managing the entire city To those people, Alfred couldn't help but make up his mind.

"Your Highness, if you can't control the city as soon as possible, things may get worse," the palm seal officer reminded next. "Please give orders quickly."

Seemingly not aware of the slightly intimidating tone of the palm seal officer, Alfred still walked around in a daze, when he heard the sound of the closed door opening, he yelled impatiently: "Who is , I have ordered not to come in without permission! "

"Alfred." Zuosha stood at the door, and not far behind her, some nobles were standing in the hallway, gazing at the room.

Ruosha has already replaced her gorgeous wedding dress and put on a workmanship. Although the workmanship is fine, the style is even more peculiar.

Unlike the many cumbersome and changeable costumes at present, the black dress of Ruo Sha is more dignified, the skirt on the ground is slightly swelled, and the original decorative collar is covered by a thin cotton hard shawl Instead, a wide belt clasping her waist makes her figure more straight and upright than any woman.

A kind of majesty that is different from any noble lady makes her look like a female **** of war who suddenly stepped into the court from the battlefield, not a newly-wed wife who just left the wedding room.

Looking at Zuo Sha's dress, Alfred was a little dazed, and then he rubbed his hands hard with a stiff face because of the long tension.

"I'm sorry, I thought it was someone else," Alfred wiped the sweat from his face, watching the door behind Ruo Sha close slowly, and isolating the peeping eyes outside. He walked over and said apologetically. " Today is our wedding day, but I fell asleep inexplicably first, and then there were so many things happening, and I do n’t know what will happen next. ”

"Alfred," Russa hugged Alfred's head with his hands and let him look at himself. "Listen to you, you are not just a prince now, but the regent of Naples, so now all you need to do is calm down and understand. The doctors are working hard to treat the king, and your mother is already taken care of. You do n’t have to worry about these, but Alfred, if God ’s will is to arrange you to become a king, then you must understand your responsibilities at that time. "

Alfred nodded, he looked at his wife gratefully. At this moment he felt that even his mother did not have Zuosha more trustworthy. After all, when the archbishop asked him to be regent, the queen showed strong Objections.

"But Your Highness, now we need someone to support us, and we need the help of a strong army," the palm seal officer standing aside suddenly interrupted. "If mercenaries cannot be trusted, who can help us control the situation in the city?"

Alfred looked at Ruosha instinctively but instinctively.

"My Cosenza Grenadier can help, but I worry that this may cause a lot of criticism," Ruosha said casually, seeing Alfred showing hesitation, Ruosha looked aside. Leoford "So what do you think of the palm seal officer?"

"Please forgive Your Highness, the direct entry of Cosenza's army into the city of Naples does not comply with the rules, which will make people misunderstand that this is a coup."

The palm seal officer objected unexpectedly. He even stared at Ruosha with some angry eyes, as if he wanted to see what the new princess was doing.

"Sure enough, it will be opposed." Ruo Sha seemed not surprised at all, and she slowly sat down to look at Alfred.

There was a trace of annoyance on the prince's face. He stared at the palm seal officer with some dissatisfaction. He knew that there was a conflict between the father's cronies and Count Modillo, but now he was targeting his wife, which made Alver Reid felt a little unbearable.

Napoli ’s mercenaries were not trustworthy, and the help offered by his wife was questioned, which made Alfred, who had held the first power, feel that his authority was also being questioned and challenged at the same time.

"I need my wife's army to help me restore order in Naples, so I decided to allow the Cosenza army to enter the city, and I will explain everything to those nobles."

Alfred said bluntly to Leoford that he had regarded this as a contest, a contest related to the establishment of his regency authority.

Zhang Yinguan did not say anything, just bowed to salute, but his eyes looked at Rusha again.

Leoford could not help but admit that the Countess is indeed a beauty that can make a man's heart, but it is Count Modillo's plan that really admires him.

Now, everything is going according to the count ’s plan, but the next step is the most important and crucial step.

Rows of small boats drove the deep sea water towards the lighthouse island reef outside the harbour, and the waves splashed on the bow of the boat from time to time, splashing on the people on the boat.

Under the moonlight, the weapon covered under the burlap cloak was slightly reflective, and occasionally tranced the face, showing a cold and indifferent look.

The people on the lighthouse reef are also reveling, although they have the task of guarding the sea, but this does not prevent them from taking a drink while the prince is married.

Especially the pub owner at Lookout Whistle, perhaps because he met the nobleman and was somewhat smug, he actually sent someone to deliver a whole barrel of fine wine.

A guard sits on the fortress and looks at the city in the distance. Speaking of them, they are reluctant to come here, but the reward given by the king is not only moving, but more important, these people are all from the Naples Quarry Local prisoner.

These people all have their own families in the city, which makes them afraid to run away easily, and Frederick promised them that they can be pardoned under conditions, which also made them somewhat illusory and hopeful.

"Maybe the king speaks and counts," the man sipped and mumbled, and as he stood up to untie his pants to pee, a shadow on the sea caught his attention. "What?"

The guard mumbled out and wanted to see more clearly, but suddenly he felt a cold chest, and then the moan from his tightly covered mouth turned into a dull groan because of the severe pain.

Several figures quickly rushed out of the shadow under the lighthouse. Under the leadership of a person who was clearly familiar with the terrain here, these people quickly occupied the fort with the artillery, and then these people quietly dived into the brightly lit lighthouse .

A burst of shouting shuffled out in the strong smell of wine, the figure swayed, and from time to time someone could hear someone joking at the wedding night of the prince and Countess Cosenza.

Cher pressed the spine of the saber against his forehead to calm himself down a bit, and he remembered the order of the master.

"Kill the people inside, but don't cause too much trouble." Shear said nodded to the person who led the way to the lookout, looked at him, and then pushed the door in, and she turned to the people behind him. Waving hands slightly.

First, a slightly unexpected sound came from the lighthouse, followed by several exclamations accompanied by a violent collision.

But the chaos was quickly suppressed almost before it started. With a few short, screams, the lighthouse fell silent.

Sher came outside, his body mixed with alcohol and **** smell was blown away a lot by the sea breeze, and after taking a deep breath, the still seemingly strange air, he led the way The Neapolitan said: "The rest is your business. Just know that I was about to vomit when I came by boat."

The Neapolitan smiled a little proudly. These Balkans made them feel afraid, especially when they saw the massacre scene just now, but now he thinks that these people don't seem so terrible.

"Are your companions on an island off the coast?" The Naples who led the way didn't know exactly what they were doing, but many of them followed the boss of the lookout Barr to do some shameless work, so even The guards who guarded the islands and reefs were slaughtered, and they did not think it was a big deal.

"Take our ship into the port, try to be careful not to cause alarm," Schell ordered.

"Okay, whatever you do, but no matter how much you make, I will share a share." The Neapolitan said a little unwillingly.

"Relax, you will soon know that you really made a profit." Schell said, learning the tone of the locals, looking at Naples, who disappeared in the shadow of the island and reef with the secret letter written by the count, followed by several men People, Shelle spit on the ground in disgust.

He did n’t like these greasy Romans, even if they seemed to be his fellow countryman, but these people just did n’t like him, and he did n’t like that old sister ’s sister either. I do n’t know why. The old man looks just like Grandpa Alexandra looks at the old man.

"I don't know what use the old man wanted for those nightmares."

Sher sat in the place where the guard had sat before, looking at the city on the shore in the distance. He said that he had not followed the master for a long time. Although he had already been selected as the Balkan guard next to the master, he really became Alexander ’s guard was still after the leader of the hunting guard Busako became the head of the second Balkan regiment, so he was still unfamiliar with many of Alexander ’s habits, or his predecessor was obviously not a smart enough person, at least no church How did he get better before the Earl Lord than a woman who was not easy to deal with?

Cher remembers that when the master knew that he knew there was a plant with a bunch of purple flowers blooming like trumpets, he was very interested. Before leaving the Balkans, he specially asked him to pick up many kinds of nightmares called by locals. A bouquet of grass, and just when they came to Naples, the master asked Schell to leave those strange flowers.

"In addition to making people talk nonsense, and what use can nightmares have." Xieer thought a bit strangely, and then decided to give up thinking about these useless things, his task is to meet those who stay in the open sea. The Tina army, once that fleet entered the port, quickly landed to occupy Santa Lucia.

According to Alexander's order, the first batch of Montina troops who followed him to the shore had moved forward with the Cosenza army waiting for the order not far from Naples.

The palace was still messy, and the nobles were vaguely planning something, while Alfred had just ordered the Kosenza army to enter the city of Naples, but Leoford brought him a concession. He was shocked by the news.

"The queen is in secret contact with some ministers. Their purpose is to announce the abolition of your regency." The palm seal officer looked at Alfred's pale face and shook his head sympathetically. This was not their plan. Although even without this plan, they would not be able to prevent them from taking Naples, but now it seems that even God is really helping them.

"Why, why should my mother oppose me?" Alfred first felt incredible, and then understood what nodded. "Of course, she did not want her husband to abdicate, let alone the queen's seat. People, but she will abolish my regency for this? "

"Or the queen wants to be queen."

The Seal of the Palmer's words immediately stimulated Alfred because he knew that if his mother said that he was also from the Aragonese royal family, he was indeed entitled to claim the throne.

"What should I do ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ tell me what to do?" Alfred took a few steps to stop and looked at the palm seal officer. "Tell me who can help me at this time."

"His Royal Highness, you already know it yourself." The palm seal official said with some helpless tone. "Although I don't want to admit it, at this time, no matter whether it is prestige or ability, the most suitable person is only one person."

Alfred nodded slowly, he took a deep breath, and then made up his mind to give the order: "Announced that the appointment of the Count of Naples Modillo as the Chief Minister of the Kingdom has the authority to command all Kingdom troops." Speaking of which, Alfred Some fiercely jumped out of the mouth with the final command "Send someone to send a letter, and ask the princess's brother Count Montina to bring troops into Naples, rebel!"

In the early morning of July 6, 1499, the army of Cosenza and Montina were ordered to enter Naples!

On the roof of the Lookout Tavern, Alexander looked at the flashing torches in the city below and smiled slightly, holding a small flower in his hand. If Schell would know him here, it was exactly what he called Something for nightmare grass.

However, Schell did not know that there is another name for this thing, called Titoros, also known as digitalis. One of its functions is to cause heart disease.
