To Four Thousand Years Later

At the command of General Alden, Otto III was hanged.

The Teutonic people stared at their king as he was hanged and breathless. after that. People seemed to calm down instead. And after that brief delay, the whole of Milan went crazy.

People screamed, yelled meaninglessly, and yelled. Their faces were filled with excitement and fear. And a seemingly endless anger that came from nowhere.

It was as if the anger that had been pent up for hundreds of years burst out in an instant. People frantically rushed to the gallows, tearing the clothes of Jo Alto III. Stabbing the dagger he carried at his body, he muttered words and cursed aloud. If it wasn't for the guards who prevented Otto III from being divided into households, his body might be broken into pieces. Fighters don't get up.

But even though the P soldiers had worked very hard to maintain order, when the crowd finally dispersed, Otto III was still missing four fingers, a thumb on his left foot, and a few pieces on the front thigh of half his right foot. skin, and an eyeball.

There was blood dripping all over the ground—some even wanted to rub Otto III's blood on their sleeves or ties. They had not previously hated Otto III so much. No matter how General Alden encouraged them and preached the freedom of the Frankish Republic, they could not understand it.

"Freedom" is a false proposition for them. As Charles said. "People yearn for freedom, but they don't know what freedom they want; people always want to be happy, but they don't always see what happiness is.

But after the death of Otto III, they seemed to have become fighters for freedom-as if they had a share in the great feat of killing the king. Even if they didn't do anything but sing at the execution ground. Perhaps because of the curse of the lion's blood, the whole of Teutonic chaos after that.

The news of Otto III's death spread throughout the provinces within three days, and the entire Teutonic Army was in a regiment. After that, the local legions rose up one after another, intending to implement "democracy".

But they don't have any guiding ideology, so they don't know what they should do-but in short, just do it.

So the old order collapsed. It is the military leaders, the militia, and the border troops who have the local advantage. Therefore, the nobles were not purged, because they had more troops, more money and jobs, and far more people spoke for them than others.

This is exactly a joke that is widely popular in Frank: the boss with the largest scale of work also gets the most votes. Do you think it is a coincidence?

The result is that everyone thinks that their thoughts represent justice, liberty, and truth. Bravely fight anyone who opposes you.

They fought man to man, village to village, legion to legion.

They point their guns and swords at their fellow citizens, kill each other under the banner of justice, freedom and democracy, and oppose all forces that want to control them. Until the First Army led by General Alden also split. People dreamed of coming... but in just one week they found out. It's more like **** here. At this moment, the fourth prince Alfonso came back.

This thirty-six-year-old youth has led the people to miraculous victories many times. In the Teutonic north, his words are even more useful than the king, and some people secretly call him "Northern King". Also because of this, the former king was very jealous of him, and he was generally not allowed to go south unless it was a holiday.

After realizing that the problem was not good, Alfonso returned to the north immediately.

Under Alfonso's call, the northerners quickly gave up the "democracy" that seemed good but brought chaos instead, and instead united progressively and marched south.

Facing the chaotic southern region, it took him less than a month to completely conquer it. To be exact, he only conquered less than 50% of the areas. After that, a large number of regional leaders voluntarily surrendered, and only a small number of regions less than one-twentieth are still trying to become independent. After ascending the throne again as the new king, the rebellion, which lasted only two months, subsided. As the new king, Alfonso III's first order was to summon General Alden, who fled to the East for the first time, and publicly rewarded him for killing the tyrant and eliminating harm for the country and the people. To promote him to Marshal.

next. He arrests General Alden, who is running back with joy, directly on the field after he is promoted.

After that, Alfonso III took Marshal Alden as the confidant of the former king, cruelly suppressed the crimes of countless nobles and civilians who appealed for freedom, and sentenced him to death on the spot.

In fact, the charges he reported were correct. The First Army under Alden's control. The main task is to guard the royal city. Not only does it include defending against foreign enemies. It is precisely because of this that Alden was able to control Otto III so easily. Because Otto III could no longer find anyone who could save him—Alden was the one he should have called for help. In Milan, all the people who can save him are Alden's subordinates. Before that, Alden suppressed those people whom he had encouraged. Under the iron-blooded wrist of Alfonso III, Teutonic quickly calmed down again.

Those who jumped too much in the days of no kings were all liquidated afterwards without exception-they were confessed by neighbors, dragged from their homes by soldiers, beheaded or shot at the door.

At that time, Milan was known as the blood-soaked city. People betray each other, report on each other, and attack each other. It wasn't until four or five years later that the Teutonic chaos gradually subsided.

"What began with unrighteousness must be strengthened with sin.

Leonardo sneered, put away his cane and walked out of the station. Lelakin asked, "Where shall we eat, my lord?"

"Just walk.

Leonardo said casually.

…what? "

"I said just go outside. Someone will come to invite us away. It's either this or that. The Teutons will not let us go around. Leonardo turned his head and chuckled softly: "Should we Make a bet? "

"With your majesty's wisdom, whatever you say is definitely correct.

"Don't call me that outside. It's boring for you, how many guesses...

Leonardo was walking while talking, when he was suddenly stopped by a well-dressed, gentle-haired old man.

"Good day, gentlemen. The old man bowed slightly, and asked Leonardo very politely: "My master, Duke Sforza, please. Could you do me a favor and come over for dinner? "

"Smart, talented, noble, illustrious, respected Monsieur Leonardo?"
