Roland was extremely angry,

Thinking back to the beginning, the Knights, who had only been to Malta for 43 years, had to fight life and death with the Ottoman Sultan Suleiman I, who arrived later. Under the command of the commander of the great regiment Vallet, the knights fought bloody battles and staged a soul-stirring battle to defend Malta, shattering the Sultan's ambitions in one fell swoop, amazement all over Europe, and winning the reputation of "Shield of Europe".

In the years that followed, the Knights of Malta Hospital played a long role as a security barrier in Southern Europe, and severely hit the Ottoman maritime trade through maritime forces and curbed its expansion to Southern Europe.

However, the Knights of Malta Hospital have dedicated a large leader. Even if they are not the role of the king, they are still Wang Zhu's status. The loss is so great that the countries that have received the help of the Knights of Malta Hospital are indifferent.

Without it, the power is too weak.

The Knights of Malta Hospital only had one battleship and two supply ships, with 600 people on the battleship and only 200 knights.

The power is limited and it is difficult to directly avenge Christ's enemies.

However, the revenge of the Grand Leader must be avenged, which also concerns an important issue, Roland's vital interests.

Whoever avenges the leader of the group will be a strong contender for the next leader.

Roland wanted to get this position, but after thinking about it, he finally came up with an idea: the enemy's enemy is our friend!

He thought of the Berbers.

The Berbers are a nation in Northwest Africa. They believe in the green religion and live in the coastline of North Africa. The tribes in the easternmost part entered Egypt. They were numerous and powerful. They even fought through the Strait of Gibraltar and fought until Spain. Later, they were defeated back to North Africa by the power of Christ.

Although they shared the same religion with the Ottomans, the relationship between the two was not close and was an object that could be used.

Roland became a hegemon, intending to cooperate with the pagans!

After thinking about it, Roland asked someone to find Albert Bardoromai, who was accompanying the ship, to discuss it.

It turns out that the Knights are not pedantic. They also hire foreigners to fight, but the scale is not large.

Albert Bardoromai has dark brown hair and a lively personality. He was a nobleman from the Kingdom of Sicily. In addition, he was appointed three days ago and the previous one was with the commander of the Grand Head.

The two met and saluted each other.

Roland asked Albert Bardoromai to sit down and asked if he had any connection with the Berbers?

Just ask, it's true.

The position of Tucopoli does not rely entirely on force, but is good at dancing and able to manage relationships between all parties. Albert Bardoromae not only has connections with the Berbers, but also knows a little Berber.

I understand, this guy's guy trades with the Berbers, and Albert Bardoromai is the contact person.

Roland suddenly realized!

Only when Albert Bardoromai mixes with the Knights can his family's business last and not be embarrassed by the Knights.

Now his ability is helpful for revenge. Roland ignored his business and asked him to introduce the situation of the Berbers to listen to it.

Albert Bardoromai understood what Roland meant, and introduced: "The Berbers are distributed in Algeria, Tunisia, Tripoli, Cyrbanga and Egypt. There are many tribes, and there are twelve tribes in the Egyptian region alone, with a total of 200,000 people! There are almost millions in other regions!"

"There are quite a lot of people!" Roland said happily.

Albert Bardoromai understood what Roland meant and shook his head and said, "It's not easy to use them!"

"Why?" Roland was puzzled.

Albert Bardoromay told him that the Berbers formed settlers mainly in agriculture and nomads and semi-nomads mainly in animal husbandry. The settlers mainly plant wheat, barley, rye, grapes, beans, vegetables and olives; the nomads mainly raise cattle, sheep, donkeys, horses, mules and camels.

"Many Berbers settled down, and they were not wary!" Albert Bardoromay explained that the main reason was that there was too little grassland and that the grassland was not produced much. Only by settling down as farmers could feed more and more people.

Yes, farming is more nurturing than grazing.

"Through trade with us, they have obtained the essentials of life. They will be brave when foreign enemies invade, but it is not easy to make a move." Albert Bardoromay explained the characteristics of the Berbers.

Roland couldn't help but frown and said, "We can't ask for their help?"

"Some, there are still people who can use it!" Albert Bardoro said sly.

"Who?" Roland asked.

"Tuareg!" said Albert Bardoromay.

...

Roland asked Albert Bardoro to sit for a while and sent someone to invite the five senior knights on the ship, namely Pierre III de Percilen, Simon Antonov, Peter de Ponte, Guy de Miley and Martin Garcia, to his cabin to discuss matters.

They arrived, tall and big, filling the cabin with a lot of force, and the late Martin Garcia was even outside the cabin door.

"Okay, brothers, do you all know what happened before?" Roland asked.

"Yes!" everyone said in a muffled voice.

"You guys, how do you take revenge for His Highness the Grand Commander?" Roland asked.

"We must take revenge!" The oldest knight, Pierre III de Percilon, said fiercely: "By blood!"

"Yes, blood is used to repay blood!" Everyone agreed unanimously.

"However, with our current power, we cannot shake the pagans in the East!" Roland said regretfully.

They are all human spirits, and you will understand what he means at first. Simon Antonov was an impatient person and said, "We can form a crusade and conquer the pagans in the East!"

"Yes, Crusader!" Roland smiled bitterly, "But it's not easy!"

Therefore, some knights have been silent. Now is different from the past and no longer the time when the Holy See is dominant. In order to control their own countries, secular monarchs are not allowed to form crusaders without their permission.

The Knights of Malta Hospital can recruit some religious orders to join the army, but not many.

Roland greeted Albert Bardoromai and said, "Tell me!"

"The Tuaregs are a nomadic people in the Sahara Desert. They mainly live in the desert north of the coastline. They are a semi-nomadic people, and they are the same clan as the Ottomans. They are divided into two parts: north and south. The Tuaregs in the northern part mainly live in pure desert areas, while the Tuaregs in the southern part mainly live in grasslands, raise cattle and camels, and sell part of them to the Tuaregs in the northern part.

They had no choice but to grazing, but the desert was not a good pasture. Therefore, the Tuaregs were in short supply and could not survive completely relying on grazing. In this case, the Tuaregs collected transit taxes from caravans traveling in the Sahara Desert, which was actually a protection fee, and on the other hand, they simply robbed the passing caravans or surrounding settled countries with armed force. Sometimes the Tuaregs themselves also participated in business, but their goods were usually stolen.

Long-term nomadism, plunder and warfare have developed the strong character of the Tuareg people, and they are indeed very capable of fighting." Albert Bardoroma introduced.

Roland stood up and said, "I decided to work with the Tuaregs and hire 20,000 of them to join the war. Their employment is cheap. Maybe you think it is inappropriate to work with the pagans, but I think that as long as I can avenge the Grand Leader, I will work with the devil!"

Everyone looked at each other!

They were in a dilemma and did not cooperate with the pagans, and had no hope of avenging the great leader. If they cooperate with the pagans, it would be contrary to the doctrine.

The knights are not saints who are not in the world. They have also cooperated on small scale, but large-scale cooperation...

Pierre III de Percilon had a sudden inspiration and suggested: "Let's vote secretly!"

This idea is good, secret ballots can be hidden, and everyone agrees.

The result of the vote of everyone in the cabin was that four votes agreed to object to three votes, and passed!

Roland stood up and said, "This is what I proposed. If you are guilty, I will bear it!"
Chapter completed!
