King of Mercenaries Chapter 241

Published at 14th of June 2023 05:18:35 AM

The Emperor Puppet led the army all the way south, stopped and stopped, held banquets everywhere, and the cost was as ordinary as water, which made everyone very surprised. You know, Maximilian I was the famous poor ghost emperor, when did he become so generous?

In the middle of the journey, the emperor entertained the nobles along the way, and enthusiastically invited them to take their personal soldiers to follow them southward. At this time, everyone "suddenly realized"-it turned out that Maximilian I was to win more thugs. Is this reasonable?

Regardless, the Swiss region is still nominally in the territory of the Holy Roman Empire, and has not actually become independent, let alone nominally. Therefore, the emperor invited guests, and many aristocrats along the way were still willing to give face to eat and drink. Anyway, he didn't eat the emperor, so he must lead soldiers to support him. Only some small nobles could not help the emperor's short promises, such as raising the title or something, and taking people to join the emperor's army.

When I walked near Chur, the capital of Graubünden, there were already dozens of little nobles along the way, with thousands of personal soldiers, and joined the emperor's team.

In fact, the real purpose of the emperor was not to bring these people to Rome, but to ask them to help manage Graubünden in the future. After all, this group of people are earth snakes. As far as they are familiar with Graubünden, the emperor can't catch up with them. With their cooperation, after the Emperor's occupation of Graubünden, the local control could be stronger.

And this time, most of them who are willing to lead soldiers to follow the emperor are little nobles who are not well mixed locally. These people in Graubünden were squeezed out by those powerful forces, and there was almost no room for ascent. Therefore, they decided to take a gamble and follow the emperor to Italy for a better name.

The situation in the Graubünden area is very complicated. The place closest to the Tyrol region in Austria controlled by the Habsburgs has been penetrated by many places in the east. These little aristocrats who were willing to follow the emperor believed that the Hapsburg family would certainly have a great deal of prestige as the emperor was crowned in Rome. In the future, Graubünden will definitely be annexed. Therefore, if you turn to the emperor as early as possible, you can also make a contribution. Later, when the emperor took control of Graubünden, he could also get a good position himself.

Of course, there are people who are not optimistic about the emperor, naturally they do not follow the emperor's team. Moreover, there are more people who are not optimistic about the emperor than they are. In addition, there are many who are watching.

Near the Chur, the emperor invited the representatives of the three most representative alliances in the Graubünden region of Chur, the House of God, the Gray Alliance, and the Ten Jurisdictions, to Habsburg, outside At the family barracks, we went to a banquet and discussed the issue of "borrowing soldiers" by the way.

However, the emperor's army stationed outside the city caused panic among all parties in Chur. So, the first invitation from the emperor, no one dared to come ...

In desperation, the emperor launched a backup plan, personally took dozens of knights into the city, visited Bishop Graubünden in Chur, and many high-level leaders of the three major alliances.

I saw that the emperor came to invite him personally, so he was relieved. In their opinion, the emperor personally approached the door, proving that the emperor really valued the march to Rome. This also proves that the emperor did not temporarily threaten the Graubünden area.

Moreover, the emperor came to the door personally to invite you, if you don't go, that is not to give face. Without giving face, the emperor's army is just outside the city, and maybe he will give him an excuse to attack the city.

So, the top leaders of the three alliances went out of town and rushed to the town where the emperor's barracks was located ...

The beginning of the banquet was peaceful. Maximilian I personally poured wine for some of the leaders of the three alliances, and enthusiastically advised him to eat and drink.

Even if it is not dealt with in private, on the surface, there must be a harmonious look between these nobles. However, they did not find that the emperor quietly sent several professional assassins of the Hapsburg family to put on aristocratic clothing and mix them with the local guests in Graubünden ...

I waited for everyone to drink, and the emperor thought he could do it. So, the emperor nodded towards the assassin leader ...

The Assassin leader is a Tyrolean, but also speaks the dialects of the Graubünden region. The Graubinden local "nobleman" played by the assassin leader suddenly suddenly slammed the glass in his hand and fell to the ground, attracting everyone's attention:

"Special, what rotten wine? The emperor, just use this rotten wine to entertain us? Still looking to borrow from us?" The assassin leader had a fake beard on his face, and probably "drank too much wine" at this time, some It was circulated by the beard, and everyone could not recognize who he was.

And, at this moment, everyone is drinking almost, many people are drunk and even more recognizable ... For the sudden assassin leader suddenly soaring, everyone is a little bit sloppy ...

Suddenly, the assassin leader shouted:

"Hill the Habsburgs, long live Graubünden!" Then, the assassin leader pulled out a dagger and rushed towards Maximilian I ...

The people who were present immediately fry the pan—Nima, they witnessed an assassination against the emperor ... so, the scene became a little chaotic in an instant ...

The two guards guarding the emperor seemed to have been "scared", but "had no time" to respond, watching the assassin pounce on the emperor, watching the assassin's dagger, and piercing the emperor's Left chest ...

In fact, the emperor had already prepared, and he wore a layer of plate armor in his clothes. The position of the left chest of the plate was tied with a pig urinary bubble, which was filled with pig blood ...

The assassin's dagger was accurately stuck on the pig's urine bubble, making a "发出" sound. It sounded as if the dagger was in the emperor's body ...

Then the emperor's robe was covered with blood ...

Originally, the play was successful. However, among the guests, there were even drunk young people who were flickered by the assassins and rushed into their heads, even trying to assassinate them ...

The assassin arranged by the emperor had just pulled out the dagger from the pig's urine, and the emperor was still pretending to be carrying it. A young drunk aristocrat from the Alliance of the House of God even cut it with a knife ...

It stands to reason that this guest should not have entered the field with a weapon. However, this guy is a knife-loving man, hiding the short knife in his boots, and the emperor's guard did not find it. At this moment, the guy who drank too much, even pulled a short knife from his boots to "assist" ...

The two emperor guards did not respond this time. Gang Cai patronized the assassin show and forgot to pay attention to others ...

So ~ www.novelhall.com ~ When the assassin arranged by the emperor backed off, the drunk young aristocrat's knife was also cut, just on the emperor's left arm ...

The emperor was miserable again, but the misery just now was pretending, not severe enough. This time it was true, the pain was miserable, severe enough ...

The emperor's two guards finally reacted, pulled out a one-handed sword, quickly repelled the drunk young man, and subdued him. The assassins arranged by the emperor escaped "without chaos." However, his escape route was designed long ago, and the emperor guards on the road were already ordered to release the assassins arranged by the emperor. Then, the local young aristocrat who left the emperor with the unconscious head "following the stream" left ...

The emperor puppet was covering his left arm at this moment, and was sore in pain that he yelled a few times. However, I was very happy to see the funny young aristocrat who jumped out. Because the assassin he arranged before was to run away, otherwise the pair would be exposed. But if this is the case, without the witness, the emperor cannot determine that the local nobles were going to assassinate him.

This aggression that Xun Ke jumped out gave the emperor the best excuse. Because he is a member of the House of God Alliance, it is simply the best excuse for the emperor!

So, while holding back the pain in the left arm, the emperor was cheering. But the situation of the emperor looks weird—

From the outsider's point of view, the emperor had one stroke in each of his left chest and left arm. But why did Maximilian I only call with his left arm? Does the "fatal injury" of the left chest not hurt the left arm?

Fortunately, this scene did not last long, and Maximilian I was carried away by a stretcher that was already prepared. Next, we will enter the "pretend death" phase of the emperor ...
