Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Vol 6 Chapter 42: Strong enemy emerges

Normezi looked incredulously at the woman standing opposite him. Of course he recognized that this woman was indeed the queen. Although she now seemed to say how embarrassed and how embarrassed, the queen was indeed true.

It's just that Normezi didn't care. What he wanted to ask was how the queen suddenly came to St. John's Abbey.

Although there are only 20 miles from Naples to here, this path is far enough for a woman like the queen, and even beyond.

Moreover, according to rumors that the queen was under house arrest, Normezi did not believe that the queen ’s ability to escape from the heavily guarded palace, and then whether alone on foot or riding a car, travel alone to find 20 miles he.

This is not only difficult for the queen, but it is completely impossible.

So how did the queen get to St. John's Abbey, and it was still at this time.

"I was hijacked. At first I didn't know who hijacked me. They took me out of the palace and put a hood over my head. It was an insult. Only the executioner would wear a hood." The queen was a little nervous. He kept talking, sometimes he couldn't say the point, but Normezi listened as patiently as possible, he wanted to find clues from the queen's words.

"You said you didn't know at first, then you must know who hijacked you now?" Sure enough, Normezi found something.

After a while, the queen, who had slowly calmed down, pulled on the messy clothes on her body, and then kept herself looking as if she was the only one with majesty: "It ’s Gombray, he imprisoned me in a house, let me and anyone I met, but then one of his soldiers benefited from me, "said the Queen, stroking her fingers with some pity. The two precious jewels she had worn above were gone. Looking at the bare fingers, the Queen felt Uncomfortable as if not wearing clothes "I gave him the payer and then quietly let me go."

"Just here, let you go?" Normezi was still a little suspicious. He did not doubt that Alexander had hijacked the queen. Thinking about doing so, the Modillo family could take advantage of the power of Naples. Normezi even thought It ’s strange that Alexander did n’t kill the queen, but he was more concerned about whether the queen escaped, as she said, because she was alert and bought the guard instead of being deliberately let go. If it was the latter, then What is the purpose of Alexander.

Then he smiled slightly after only a little thought, because he thought he had grasped Alexander's intentions.

"Stupid woman," Normezi looked at the queen who still deliberately maintained her dignity. He wanted to tell himself that this distant relative could not do much for her queen even if her husband didn't have an accident, but now he is looking at the queen. I think this is a gift from God. "Your Majesty, you have suffered so much. What you need now is a good rest. Please be assured that things will pass quickly. You are safe here. St. John's Abbey is indestructible."

The queen's emotions were somewhat agitated because of Normezi's words. She stood up and held her hands to hold Normezzi's palm and could not stop nodding, and at the same time kept saying thankful words to him, she thanked the relative at this time For her support, thank you for his loyalty and her perseverance, and if he can continue to help him regain control of the Kingdom of Naples, the queen promised to let Normezi serve as the chief minister of the Kingdom of Count Modillo.

It wasn't until the queen was helped away by her maid that Normezi shook her hand that had been sweating for too long.

"Ambitious women are so disgusting," Normezi murmured in disgust. "I didn't mention your husband from beginning to end as if he had died or never existed."

"Sir, Wang should be a good thing afterwards, isn't it," one of the men asked a little puzzled. "At least we have a better name."

"But this good thing was given to us by the Gombré, so I doubt if there is any conspiracy behind it." Normezi looked up at the stone walls of the monastery surrounding the tower, which were obviously very strong, Normezi It is suspected that even the use of cannons may not collapse.

Wait, cannon?

Normezi suddenly thought of something, and then he remembered the legends about the Montina army in Bucharest, some of which repeatedly mentioned that the Montina army seemed to be good at using cannons.

"Go and stare outside, maybe Gombre is about to attack." Normezi was immediately nervous. He said that the monastery had never been captured for nearly 400 years, but there were no cannons during those siege.

Alexander stood close to the monastery and observed this famous building. In his impression, this monastery became a famous tourist holy place in Naples in a few centuries. There are many tourists every year, and this The local people are also very smart. They used the strange location of the monastery to create a quite new tourism project.

"Master, you are too close." Schell said nervously. He was lying not far from Alexander, staring at the monastery in the distance. The strong muscles of the Balkans were slightly tight and ready to be ready. Once the anomaly was found, he immediately threw the master to the ground to prepare.

"Relax, they won't find us," Alexander stretched out the gray kerchief that he wore. This is a kind of clothing often worn by sheep-goers in the southern Italian countryside. Especially in winter, this kind of kind coat can be worn. On the body, it can be used as a blanket to lay on the ground or cover the body overnight. "As long as we don't move them, they will find that ..."

A thick smoke rose from the hole in the wall of the monastery in the distance, and then with a sharp roar from far and near, a bush of a short tree not far in front of Alexandria seemed to be suddenly punched with a punch. A flicker, and then a cloud of dust.

"Master, beware!" Shear grabbed Alexander's legs with both hands and dragged him off the standing slope. The two of them rolled down the **** like ripe apples when they were caught by a group of hunting guards. When they hurriedly lifted up, the clothes on the two of them had been scratched by stones and branches in several places.

Alexandre gasped, he looked at the bodyguard who jumped immediately and seemed completely okay, and he shook his head a little angrily: "Sher, next time you have this kind of thing, just push me to the ground. Well, if this **** is steeper, I think probably the two of us might be unlucky. "

"But the enemy is shooting," Sher shook his head stubbornly. "And have you ever thought that if they used not guns but artillery, I think many people would want to be Captain Busako."

The unlucky predictions of the Balkans made Alexander a little helpless, but it reminded him that after all, as a coincidence as Busako, a shot that almost changed history may not really happen again in the future.

"Let everyone find a shawl to put on," Alexander said. "And those companions who are going to tell you, they can start."

Sher nodded and left immediately, watching the Balkans jump around the rocks like a dexterous goat, and disappeared quickly. Alexander looked to the top of the monastery faintly on the slope.

St. John's Abbey, known as the paradise of the world evaders, although not far from the city of Naples, is known for its dangerous terrain and its isolation from the world.

"Normezi really found a good place," Alexander looked at the solitary monastery standing on the top of the mountain. If he looked at the place he occupied, there was no other route to the top of the mountain except for a road. Move closer. "

"Sir, the power of the artillery may not have much effect. After all, the gun we brought is too small." Ofrei looked at the smoke that was lurching forward on the mountain road behind. It was two eagle guns, although they dealt Infantry may be enough, but it is obviously a little difficult to deal with such a strong fortress.

"That's why I want to get as close as possible," Alexander thought, and pointed to the **** that he had rolled down before. "That's where the artillery was erected, so that Normezi and his people could see the muzzle."

It is very difficult to push the artillery up the steep mountain road. The artillery car that has damaged several wheels made a worrying squeaky sound, and the rope tied to the artillery ring was stretched tightly. When the wheels of the car slipped because of the stone, the soldier pulling the rope in front shouted loudly and desperately pressed the heel against the stone to prevent him from rolling down.

"These two guns are enough to open the gate," a soldier shouted excitedly, his forehead illuminated by the sun. "Then we rushed in and killed the bitches."

"Are we going to shoot at the monastery?" The companion next to him asked a little hesitantly. "That's the residence of the believers of **** Christ. There are many monks in it."

The soldier's words caused a whisper, and many soldiers couldn't help but hesitate.

"Perhaps we should talk to the Earl Lord, we can find a way to get in, and we can use artillery to hit the monastery, which is not very good," the soldier said, reaching for the cross on his chest. "You know I am very religious. "

"Don't I be pious enough?" The previous soldier threw away the rope and pushed his companion. "Do you think I'm the kind of person who will desecrate the monastery?"

The artillery that was thrown on the road because of the quarrel and blocked the road behind the team began to make a muffled sound and fell down. This caused the Balkans who were preparing to fight to stop the quarrel immediately. They screamed and renewed. Pulling on the rope prevented the artillery from sliding down, while staring at each other fiercely, revealing the expression "You are waiting".

"Sir, the soldiers seem to hesitate to attack the monastery," Aufrei whispered to Alexander. "This is not a good sign."

Alexander looked at the soldiers who seemed to walk and whisper a lot of discussion, and his heart could not help passing a shadow.

Ofrei reminded him.

Although the Balkans are more orthodox, they have instincted awe of the church for many years, or they are more fearful, but these are nothing. After all, they are Orthodox.

But the Neapolitans, the Sicilians, and even Castile and Aragon, who are known as the fortresses of Christ, he will face in the future that these two relied on strong religious beliefs just recovered from the Moorish centuries of rule The country of their country, their rich and even fanatical pursuit and worship of religion, will become a lot of obstacles and difficulties on his way forward.

If this problem cannot be solved as soon as possible, then even the Montina army, in the face of a strong enemy like Gonzalo in the future, and the future Spanish army that is almost invincible in Europe for 150 years, how many chances of victory?

Alexander thought to himself, and looked at the St. John's Monastery on the top of the mountain.

Unlike Aufrei, who was worried that he might not be able to attack for a long time, causing excessive losses and delaying time, Alexander never thought how difficult this monastery was to overcome. No fortress could avoid the fate of the fall, and sometimes it seemed more The unconquerable strongholds contain dangers that people cannot see.

The appearance of the Balkans made the rebels in the monastery a little nervous. Although they had already discovered the Montina army before, because they were still far away, they could not see clearly. When they saw the fierce Balkans, there was someone in the rebels. Exclaimed.

"St. John's Abbey is the strongest fortress. No one can break through here," Normezi shouted to the people around him. His words quickly calmed down the uneasy emotions of his men, watching it still appear tense, but still Still clenching his arms, Normezi shouted excitedly from the narrow and low windows towards the Montina army outside: "Come on, you barbarians, let me see if you are bragging and defeated Ottomans! "

The silhouette of the Montina army flashed on the mountain road outside the intersection. When several soldiers tried to approach the slightly open area in front of the monastery, a burst of gunshots, although scattered but quite dense, instantly brought a piece from the stone wall of the monastery. Smoky.

The Balkans immediately retreated, but two people were still hit by flying bullets.

Looking at the Balkans who hurriedly dragged their injured companions back to the intersection, there was a burst of cheers in the monastery.

"See? They are not unbeatable," Normezi shouted to his equally excited men. "Let us teach this young master of the Modillo family to let him know who they offended."

Encouraged rebels roared and ran around. Some of them were crowded in front of the window shouting at enemies on the mountain road. Some climbed the ladder to the wooden roof of the monastery, standing up and facing Montina below. People make provocative gestures.

The queen was stunned when she heard the bang on the roof, but she was a little excited when she heard the cheers outside the house. Finally, after a moment of hesitation, the queen hurriedly wiped off her face with a small amount of powder, and then pushed away The door came to the corridor.

A man dressed as an officer ran from the neighborhood, and the queen immediately waved her hand with majesty.

"Stop, I have something to ask you," the queen said to the man, and when he saw doubts on his face, the queen had to show her identity. "I am your queen."

The officer showed a surprised look. He looked at the queen up and down. It looked like he was looking at something new. He couldn't help but anger the queen who was already in a bad mood. She angered the unreasonable soldier angrily: " Did n’t you hear me, I ’m the queen, and I ordered you to take me to see Count Normezi. ”

"Your Majesty." The officer used some weirdness to make the Queen hear the tone of some distant place, and then waved to the Queen to signal her to follow her.

The queen followed angrily, and she felt that this person must have been recruited by Noormez from the countryside, otherwise how could it be so barbaric.

The queen could notice that Normezi seemed to have some surprises with herself, but if she looked closely she would find that Normezi actually paid more attention to the officer who brought her.

"What happened to the count?" The queen asked anxiously, and then she saw the Montina soldiers in the far distance outside from the window, which made the queen nervous immediately. "They are going to attack?"

"Maybe it is, so you are not safe here. It is best to go back to your majesty's room." Normezi did not hide his impatience. For him, the queen now has nothing to be awesome, Her husband is said to have been unconscious, and she was imprisoned for failing to seize power. If it was n’t for the conspiracy of Gombré to release her, the queen, who had lost her power, was still under house arrest in the palace. .

The queen obviously also noticed the change in Normezi's attitude, and she was almost angered to think of the situation now she had to endure.

"Can we hold here?" The queen asked anxiously. She didn't know why Alexander wanted to let her go, but thinking that if it fell into the hand of that Gombray again, it might not be so easy to escape.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, this monastery has never been broken since its establishment."

Normezi tried to make herself look like Yan Yue, but even then the queen still saw his already impatient look, which made her helplessly release her hand after secretly clenching her fist to the joints. With a pretentious tone: "Count, I believe that the king will remember your loyalty, and believe that when we get rid of Modillo and his followers who confuse my son to try to take power, I will recommend the king to you To serve as the chief minister of the kingdom. "

The queen's words caused a strange look to appear on Normezzi's face. He looked at the queen as he seemed to say something, but after glancing at the officer not far away, he shook his head strangely: "Please Forgive your majesty, you may have misunderstood, everything I did was not for the purpose of seeking high officials from the king, even the throne like the chief minister. "

Having finished speaking, Normezi waited for the queen to speak again, and greeted the two soldiers to protect the queen and walked down the attic.

The queen was annoyed by two soldiers and walked down the steep wooden ladder. When she inadvertently looked up, he saw Normezi and the previous officer standing together and looking down at her.

"What the Count Montina was thinking, why did he send the queen here." The officer asked inexplicably. There was not much respect for Normezi in his tone, which sounded somewhat questionable.

"I don't know what that person is going to do, but are you doubting something, or are you doubting me?" Normezi looked at the officer with a dull face. "I promised Ferdinand to help him get Naples, it's not for you. What reward the king received. "

"In fact, you weren't tempted when the queen promised?" The officer bluntly exposed Normezi's words. "And please don't tell me how noble you are ~~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ You just want revenge At first, because the Modillo family prevented you, your grandfather lost the hatred of being the regent of Naples. "

Hearing the officer ’s words, Normezi, who was more sullen because he was poked at the sore spot, glanced coldly at the officer, but after a moment of silence he still digressed: “Do n’t worry about the queen, no matter what the Gumbre thought No tricks are used. St. John ’s Abbey cannot be broken, so all his conspiracies are in vain. "

"I hope that as you said, Earl, we must insist on the arrival of King Ferdinand's army, and then you will have the opportunity to avenge your revenge." The officer looked at the Montina army who was still blocked behind the intersection. He smiled contemptuously, but he did not underestimate the enemy. "But be careful, this man is said to have beaten Bayeste."

"If so, he would know that St. John's Monastery is not Bucharest."

Normezi said with confidence, and with his falling voice was the fierce artillery sound from outside the monastery.

The eagle guns of the Montina army finally arrived on the mountain.
