The Rise of the European Emperor

In fact, Edward had tried the method of using glue to bind the ship to carry James IV, trying to sink James IV into the North Sea. However, James IV was reluctant to take a boat. After all, it is not as safe to travel by land by boat.

Moreover, England is a country where pirates are rampant. If you go to the sea, if you are robbed and killed by pirates, there is no place to justify it. So, James IV insisted on going overland. After all, if you set foot on the mainland of Scotland by land, and there are 50 knights to escort, unless a large army is dispatched, it will be difficult to kill James IV. Edward is generally unlikely to blatantly dispatched troops to intercept. Therefore, James IV was determined to take the land route and never take the sea route. In this way, Edward's conspiracy to let him take a glued ship and sink it in the North Sea naturally went bankrupt. As a last resort, Edward could only ask Marin to dispatch a master to kill him.

Marin was actually very depressed, feeling that he had changed from a grand duke to the boss of a killer organization. You see, the mission to assassinate Caesar Borgia from the south has not been successful, and here is another one...

However, Marin had to do both of these businesses. Needless to say, Caesar Borgia was killed at the request of the Pope's father-in-law. And James IV, killing Marin is also good for himself. He was going to annex England in the future, and if Edward annexed Scotland early, he would save himself from worrying about it later. So, to help Edward is to help yourself.

However, in terms of identity, James IV is much nobler than Caesar Borgia. Even if Caesar Borgia was calling the shots at the beginning, he was an illegitimate child after all, even the Pope's illegitimate child. But James IV is a king recognized by all of Europe, and his status is very noble and special.

Assassination of Caesar Borgia, even if the matter is exposed, most European countries are disgusted and disgusted, but they will not accuse Marin too much. After all, Caesar Borgia is notorious and has many enemies. Kill him, and many people will applaud. Marin sent someone to assassinate Caesar Borgia. In fact, he was not worried that he would be exposed, but that he was only worried that the Pope's father-in-law would be exposed. After all, all of Europe knows about his alliance with the Pope's father-in-law. Secrecy, that's for the Pope's reputation.

But the assassination of James IV is different. He is one of the most legitimate kings in Europe. The assassination of James IV is to challenge the social order in Europe, and it will arouse unanimous disgust and even hostility across Europe.

Therefore, Edward clearly caught James IV, but he couldn't do it. He has some regrets now - why didn't he kill James IV on the battlefield... Now, James IV is in his hands, so he is a hot potato...

Moreover, Edward's subordinates did not have any capable officers. After all, the most capable soldiers in England back then basically all went to the more wise Henry VII, and then he was beheaded by Edward...

In this way, he can only rely on the strong Marin...

...

Marin took the order for the assassination, however, he asked the emissary to give Edward a message - be sure to delay, at least until March next year. After all, he needs months to prepare. For example, choose a good assassination route, and don't make a hasty shot.

In addition, Marin also gave Edward some tricks. For example, strictly control the time of sending James IV into Scotland, and strive to get the opportunity to kill James IV at night. In addition, the horses and weapons prepared for James IV and 50 knights must also be used...

Marin estimated that from Newcastle to Edinburgh, about 170 kilometers. From the border to Edinburgh, it is only about 100 kilometers.

If Edward had prepared horses for them and sent them into Scotland in the morning, James IV could have returned to Edinburgh in a day if he spared no expense.

Therefore, Marin specially requested that the horses prepared for James IV and others should preferably be draught horses with poor riding performance, which made James IV and his party unhappy and unable to return to Edinburgh in one day.

In addition, on weapons,

There must have been something wrong. It's better to give them weapons, the kind of inferior weapons that Kahn's mace breaks at the touch of a button. Generally speaking, swords made of inferior pig iron have this characteristic. A few months, enough for Edward to prepare such a weapon.

There is also armor, the best quality is very poor and thin, the kind that is broken when it is smashed...

In this way, Kahn can lead the team to easily kill James IV and his party...

...

As for the men and horses to shoot, Marin has already thought about it - the wolf tooth commando...

This team of men and horses is all made up of muscle sticks and has extremely strong fighting power. Even in the face of 50 Scottish knights, it can be crushed. They all use maces and are best at dealing with armored enemies.

Even though the 50 Scottish knights are very good at martial arts, their armor is inferior, and the weapons will break when they touch it.

The only problem is - the wolf tooth commandos are infantry, not good at fighting right away. If the other party sincerely wants to escape...

...

"Then we can only use horse traps and tripping ropes..." Marin made up his mind.

There are horse traps and stumbles, and the other party can't rush to escape back to Edinburgh. If the opponent's cavalry is restricted, they can only be slaughtered by the wolf tooth commando.

Moreover, Marin will send a captain of archers to assist in the battle. Their task was not to shoot the target, but to shoot the horses of James IV and his knights. Once the opponent loses the horse, in front of the wolf tooth commando, it is no different from the chicken to be slaughtered.

It's just that this matter is too top secret to be leaked. Therefore, Marin ordered that Kahn and Kohler cooperate to select dozens of the most reliable soldiers in the wolf tooth commando to avoid future information leakage. Once the information is leaked, Marin will become a street rat that everyone shouts and beats. Therefore, choosing a job is very important.

Moreover, Marin also intends that once the mission is over, the dozens of Spike commandos who participated in this killing activity, together with their families, will be sent to America. In any case, the Americas also needed military protection, and these people happened to be the vanguards against the natives in the past. As long as they don't stay in Europe, there is little chance of intelligence leaking out.

...

While selecting reliable Wolf Commandos, Marlin also sent people to Newcastle in advance, and ordered Robinson (Coster) and Hanks (Maric), the captains of the Robin Hood Thieves there, to send scouts to go deep into Scotland. Inside, scout every road and choose where to start.

If it was before, the thieves would never dare to go deep into Scotland for reconnaissance. Because the Scots army is not vegetarian. However, the Scottish army is now largely imprisoned by Edward, along with their king, James IV.

So, now there is no force in Scotland. Except for a few important towns and passes, no troops were stationed in other areas. The thieves were used to traveling through the mountains and forests, so as long as there was no army to block them, their movements were still very free.

In addition, Marin also asked the Robin Hood thieves to send several groups of people to vote in Scotland, and used some new banners to confuse the public. When James IV was intercepted, the blame could be put on those thieves who didn't exist...
