Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

The Mures River is an east-west river between Upper Wallachia and Hungary. This river will eventually flow into the Danube River into the Black Sea. At the same time, this river is also the natural boundary between Wallachia and Hungary.

At the beginning of the Ruva invasion of Hungary, it was over this river, and then fled all the way to Moldova. Now Alexander will cross this river to enter Hungary, and then along the border between Hungary and several countries, from the southern plains The strip enters Italy.

Alexandria received a cold reception in Upper Wallachia. Compared to Wallachia, the atmosphere here is obviously alienated, except that these locals generally have some kind of contempt for people from Bucharest, and even more so for Alexander. Uncovered hostility was revealed because it belongs to Transylvania.

The attitude of the nobles of Transylvania towards Sophia has always been ambiguous. From the beginning, they did not publicly express their opposition to Sophia ’s ascension, but they never voluntarily catered to it. When Sophia decided to move to Bucharest, Transylvani The aristocrats expressed a strange silence, and for this land, in fact, if it was not the past that the Vlad family once ruled Wallachia, it can be said that the two sides are not only alienated, they may even be completely Are two very different countries.

So the attitude of many Wallachians to Zepez became complicated. On the one hand, they could not forget the brutal and **** rule of Vlad the Third, on the other hand, they had to because of the Zepez family. Thanks to the times, the territory of Wallachia has almost doubled, so for the Transylvanians, Wallachia has become somewhat strange.

While guarding against the possible split insurgency in Transylvania, they tried their best to try to appease these distant relatives, perhaps because they were aware of such concerns in Wallachia, so Transylvanians against Bucharest It seemed arrogant. As for Alexander, perhaps for many Transylvanians, it was already polite that they did not draw a knife at him.

During his lifetime, Zepes was committed to trying to restore the glory of his father Vlad III. For this reason, he did not hesitate to bow his head in front of Sophia, in order to regain the recognition of the nobles of Wallachia as soon as possible.

It must be said that Zeppes's vision is still very venomous, because many people still do not buy Sophia, or even if she recognizes her status as a Greek princess, she still thinks that she is only King Ladislas II of Bohemia. When Shi raised the puppet, Cepes stood firmly on her side and became one of the first people to support her.

If things go on like that, maybe even if he does n’t get what he wants, he will eventually get the favor of Sophia and marry her, and then regain control of Wallachia, but he can still get a generous return for his strong support, just like The Greeks or the knight named Gilas got a very good position in Wallachia's new place and became Sofia's confidant, but his ambitions were too big, or maybe it was once as a land The ruler's son couldn't bear to be someone else's, and he eventually chose to take risks, but his choice was obviously wrong.

The cost of this choice not only cost Zeppes his own life, but also made the relationship between Transylvania and Wallachia complicated and tense.

When Alexander ’s team entered Transylvania north along the Dambovica River, he soon felt the atmosphere of a little hostility, which made Schell nervous and acted as a Vala Asians, of course, are very aware of the gap between the people of the two places, and the time in the court made him know what happened.

So although he knew that it was not possible, he still suggested to Alexander to change the route, but Alexander took the time to quickly reject Sher ’s suggestion, which made him only able to keep his spirits up and monitor every village and town passing by, every This is a pass. When he finds that someone is watching from a distance, he will immediately order the hunting guards to enter the alert. His tense behavior makes the hunting guards follow him from time to time. After a long time, many soldiers ca n’t help but complain. .

"I'm right to do this," the bodyguard explained to the two captains who complained to him in private. "If you don't want to wake up one day and find yourself surrounded, or simply **** and hanging On the tree, you have to open your eyes wide and put your ears up, do n’t forget we are in Transylvania. "

"But when is this head, the brothers have been so tired these days that they can't hold it anymore," a small captain said dissatisfiedly. "We're exhausted ourselves by waiting until someone wants to attack us. "

"Keep on insisting that everything will be easier as long as you cross the Mures River." Sheer can only comfort his men like this, although as far as he knows after crossing the river, there may not be much trouble.

Compared with the high tension of the bodyguard, Alexander is much easier. He knows that if nothing happens, his trip will be smooth, even if something goes wrong, as long as the hunting guard can solve it, it is not called. But if even the hunting guards couldn't stop it, then by then he was obviously nervous even worried, so the only easy way along the way was Alexander.

As for the reason explained to Schell not to go back from the original road in the direction of Croatia, because this route is more convenient, but Alexander did not tell the truth.

The turbulence that just happened with Croatia made Alexander not think that Helva would be so careless, and his knowledge of Helva made Alexander reluctant to take that unnecessary risk and compare it with crossing Transylvania. Than, the possibility of being attacked by so-called unknown gangsters on the way through Croatia is obviously much greater.

Schwarra Castle was an important stronghold in the early years of Vlad III, where he once defeated an attack from Hungary twice, which allowed him to be supported by the locals, although people did cheer him on the side. On the one hand, the British name was frightened by his brutal rule, but it can be said that this is a region in Transylvania that is most loyal to the Cepes family.

The hunting guards were walking on the road with vigilance. Shear could feel that the soldiers had lightened their breath a lot, and seemed afraid to startle something terrible.

The idea that the ghost of Vlad III is attached to Schwara Castle has been circulating for a long time, even if the parish chief of Tirgu Mures, the capital of Transylvania, personally came to the castle to drive away the devil, But people still believe that the evil spirit of Vlad is wandering in the terrible castle that looks far from Yinzen.

Alexander had not been here "in the past". Although he passed through Transylvania last time, he did not go so deeply. This is the first time that his two people have truly come to the famous vampire's hometown.

The scenery in Transylvania is beautiful, but perhaps these horror stories full of pagan style are so popular that the sky here always seems to be shrouded in a gloomy haze, and there seems to be something from anywhere at any time Jumping out of the dark woods.

Alexander Riding looked closely at the neighborhood immediately, and he felt that someone had been following their team, sending a whistle from Sier to the surroundings to expand the range of security. He knew that the bodyguard was ready.

"Does anyone really come to the door?" Alexander pondered, and at the same time he could not help but glance back at the carriage that followed the team.

The car contained a fresh local specialty brought out of Bucharest. The original replica of the "16th century version of Gatling" brought by Ruo Sha, who left that terrible weapon in Bucharest This is one of her few goodwill towards Sophia.

For the terrible power once used by this weapon, the Bucharest people still remember it. The most intuitive one is the slaughter of the mercenaries of the Black Army. In that battle, this weapon showed amazing lethality, and Alexander himself also used this weapon to defeat Caesar's last dream outside of Rome.

Sophia is also very interested in this weapon. Although it is inevitable that Zuosha left behind, she still made a few copies of the original, and after a few test shots, Sophia was considering whether to take this thing. The size was enlarged, and then a batch of guns dedicated to defending the city was built.

Alexander ’s cranky or whimsical thinking about Sophia does not intervene. Many things should appear naturally when they appear, even if they watch a detour or completely embark on another development path that is different from history, as long as It is enough to grasp the direction at the crucial moment, not to mention Sophia ’s ideas are not necessarily wrong. Some of the so-called exotic weapons and technologies in history are actually not wrong in themselves, but there is something wrong with the time, and Alexander believes that As long as I make a little change in this regard, maybe some strange things will either appear in advance or appear in reality at the right time.

Taking the "Classic Gatling" on the road is just in case, unexpectedly, Alexander is sometimes very enthusiastic about taking risks, because this can bring huge rewards, but he also knows that blind adventure without preparation is stupid, from Tran Sylvania ’s return trip is obviously safer than passing through Croatia, but this is only after preparing for it.

The distribution whistle arranged in a shallow place near the side of the forest sounded the alarm, and the team stopped immediately, centering on Alexander and the carriage, and the hunting guards quickly formed a square.

The musketeers squatted down with their muskets and stared at the swaying jungle in front of the trees, while the soldiers in the back pulled out sabers and short guns, ready to fight with the enemies that appeared.

Hunting guards are the second all-firearms army of this era. Except for musketeers, other soldiers are still equipped with fighting sabers, but everyone has been equipped with short guns, and some even have more than one.

As for the first all-firearms army, it was Kosenza ’s first grenadier company founded by Russa, which made Alexander think more than once. Whether Russa would be recorded in history as Queen Naples in the future, or would it be because of Established the earliest all-firearms army in Europe and it is well-known in history.

The warning sound from the sentry came again from the edge of the woods. The guards stared at the invisible infested figure, some people licked their tongues nervously, while others grinned the corners of their mouths, exposing a black and yellow tooth, as if Is smiling happily.

Alexander stood not far from the carriage, with two layers of guards before and after him.

Although knowing such a tight guard is as easy to notice as a firefly that glows at night, it is better than being accidentally killed by a guy who was hit by a dead cat with a blind cat.

Alexander admits that history is created by a series of necessities, but he also believes that there are always some accidents in this necessity that can also shape new history.

He did not want to be a proof of this so-called accidental change in history. Alexander had already arranged for himself the next path, at least for a foreseeable period of time, he did not want to change.

The other party stopped near the edge of the woods, and the hunting guards had discovered that an unintentional group of people had also appeared on the slopes on the other side of the road.

The situation seemed a bit bad. Alexander murmured secretly. He knew that if these Transylvanians were going to attack him, then it should be a good opportunity now. Enemies on slopes can pose a great threat as long as they have a sufficient number of long-range weapons such as firearms or crossbows.

Just when Alexander wondered whether to order the use of Zuosha's "Classic version of Gatling" to start first, suddenly there was a shout with these accents in the woods: "Over there, you are Romant The soldier of the Duke of West Asia? "

Hearing the shout, Sher, who stood in front of the line, was stunned. He resisted the urge to look back in the direction of Alexander, and said a step forward, "Yes, this is the Duke's guard, which one are you, stopping the Duke The team is to offend the host of Romagna and Tuscany, the mediator of Lombardy, the contractor of the divine marriage of the Grand Duchess of Wallachia, and ... "

Looking at Xie Er's appearance of showing all his titles in one breath as if they were applying for a dish, Alexander shook his head helplessly, and he found that after so long, Xie Er had really received Uliu The potential of the class.

However, it is clear that Sher is still not as savvy as Uliu in some places. At least the Moors will not run so rashly in front of the team to give the opponent a chance to get a black hand.

"Who are they?" Alexander frowned. He felt that the other party didn't seem to want to fight, at least he hadn't shown any hostility so far.

"Yeah, who are you?" Shelle asked loudly, and the hand behind him made a quiet gesture.

After noticing his movements, Alexander's mouth twitched, but it seemed to him that Schell was not so reckless.

Several hunting guards quietly raised their guns. These people are from the hunters of Agri and Wallachia. Their marksmanship is very accurate. Many people can completely match the marksman in the new Ottoman army known for its precision. Comparable.

Regardless of whether they are stressful or ruosha, they are not very fancy with the so-called sharp shooter, which is related to the weapon accuracy of the current firearm technology. The main reason is that they do not value the accuracy of individual soldiers ’marksmanship. Rather, it pays more attention to the rigorously trained soldiers, and the terrible power of the large-scale fire set by the simultaneous shooting.

However, this does not mean that there are no talents in the Alexander army who are born as sharpshooters. The mountains of Agri and the Balkans have bred mountain people who are more resilient than those in other places, and they have also created a group of the earliest and most Good marksman.

"It's really God bless," came a cheer that seemed like surprise in the woods, and then a figure suddenly stood out from behind a tree, and saw the row of muzzles of the black hole that he was lifting immediately, that man There was a pause at the foot, and then his head tilted to show a helpless look. "Which one was talking to me just now? I believe it must not be the Duke himself, but it doesn't matter, can we talk?"

Schell looked at the man for a while and looked at it carefully. This is a very strong-looking person. His dress and manners prove that he is not an ordinary civilian. From the marks on his robe, it can be seen that this person was wearing all the year round. Armored, Schell stopped two more steps from the front of the line and stopped: "It's me, the guards of His Royal Highness, if you have anything to tell me."

The man nodded and walked forward. When he walked to the nearest hunting guard, he stopped and slowly lifted the lining of his robe. A sword handle was exposed, and the hunting guard was alert. It seemed that the man was holding the hilt upside down and slowly pulled out his saber, and then continued to move forward to Sher.

Seeing Schell reaching out to him, the man handed the sword over, but before slightly letting go, he retreated slightly: "Be careful, this is not a normal sword. There is a curse on this sword."

The man ’s words made Schell ’s expression stiff. The Balkans tended to be obsessed with superstitious things, even though the priests generally scoffed at this kind of typical pagan character, and even severely criticized ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Various superstitions and legends still circulate among the villages and towns in the Balkans, and even many nobles are obsessed with believing in all kinds of ghost legends.

The man seemed to be satisfied with Schell's performance. He smiled and walked past Schell. After a little look, he walked towards Alexander.

"Stop, just say there."

Alexander spoke when the man was almost a few steps away. He was not used to let strangers get too close. Now this distance is just right, even if there is a musket hidden in his body. Although this distance is already somewhat dangerous, Alexander believes him The hunting guards will never give each other such opportunities.

"You are very vigilant," the man bowed and saluted, then straightened up and said seriously "But this is a good habit. At first, Vlad III did not have such a good habit. He was too arrogant to think that he could scare the place with terror." Someone, until he finally died. "

As soon as the man finished speaking, he heard the sound of the surrounding hunting guards raising their muskets at him, and the short gun in Sher's hand had directly reached the back of his head from behind.

"If you dare to act rashly, I will let you know what is real terror immediately." At the same time Shelle's angry voice also sounded behind him.

The man raised his hands slightly, and he slowly turned around to the surrounding hunting guards to signal that he did not threaten, while grinning reluctantly at Alexander: "Adult, please believe that we have no hostility towards you, but maybe someone else It's another matter. "

The man said that his expression slowly became serious. He straightened his waist and looked at each other face-to-face. Then he asked, "Adult, don't you know if you have heard of an organization called the Dragon Knights?" Alexander was surprised, and the man bowed again to salute, "Master, as the messenger of the Dragon Knights, I am willing to serve you."
