Knight Cassano is the family warrior chief of the Sibo family. He has served the first family of the Republic of Liguria for more than twenty years.

Although he has faithfully completed the mission of liaison with France as a diplomatic escort several times in recent years, from his heart he told Old Sibo about containing the excessive power of the Habsburg family and supporting the French to maintain the balance of power.

The behavior is very painful.

This veteran, who was born in the city of Bari in the Kingdom of Naples, had participated in the siege of Bari in 1494 and the siege of Liguria in 1499.

The atrocities committed by Charles VIII against Italy in the last few years of the last century are still as fresh as yesterday in his memory. In 1494, as a temporary city militiaman, he did not participate in the battle and became a prisoner of the French along with the captain.

Both my sister and my brother-in-law died in the chaos after the destruction of the city of Bari. The Frenchman brutally killed the brother-in-law who dared to resist, and then tortured and raped her sister for several hours. The sister who had several bones broken could not survive this.

A disaster, and eventually his injuries worsened and he died.

Although the old mother used her sister's husband's inheritance and most of her life savings to redeem Cassano from the French prisoner-of-war camp, Cassano will never forget the funeral. At the funeral, his sister's face was still painful even after makeup.

, I don’t know how many things have entered his dreams over the past twenty years.

After kissing his sister goodbye and vowing to fight the invaders to the end, the young militiaman left his dilapidated hometown and continued to serve the French enemies as an Italian mercenary.

Even the plague in Naples did not prevent him from participating in the battle to regain the city of Naples as a heroic soldier in the Restoration of Naples. With this merit, he was named a knight and owned several manors.

However, Naples was ravaged by the French and tortured by the plague. Even if he became a knight, he could not live an easy life. In order to find the wealth to build the territory and to vow to fight the French forever, he returned to the North as a reinforcement of the Kingdom of Naples.

Italy continued to fight against Charles VIII's successor, Louis XII, father of the current King of France.

In 1499, he was unfortunately once again surrounded by the French in the city of Liguria. The nobles of the Republic of Liguria saw the mammoth siege demon designed and manufactured by Lao Tanshur, one of the top ten "state-holding" mages in the mainland.

After the power of the image, he immediately gave up resistance. As part of the Ligurian Republic's promise not to resist again, Cassano once again entered the French prisoner of war camp. This time, because he had violated the promise never to fight against France again, Cassano was released.

Agreement, even though he had saved a lot of money through years of fighting, the old mother could not save him.

The Kingdom of Naples, which had been rebuilt after untold hardships, was also divided up by France and Spain. Although France and Spain almost immediately went to war over the issue of sharing the spoils, the struggle between the two bandits was no longer helpful to the original owner who had shed all his blood.

The last king of Naples, the former "King of Restoration" Ferrandino, was heartbroken and exhausted and finally surrendered to the French. Naples, which had been swept away by armies several times, no longer had the strength to resist the new conquerors.

It wasn't until the French were driven out of Italy by the Spanish that Cassano climbed out of the mine with the help of the Sibo family. During this period, his old mother died alone in worry and fear, and his territory had fallen to Spain.

in human hands.

Old Xibo used a small village belonging to the Republic of Liguria and an annuity of 600 talers to leave behind this 11th-level warrior who was already homeless at the time.

The once young militiamen, relying on thousands of life and death battles, crawled out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, have experienced and trained to become great warriors.

With such a life experience, it is of course not difficult to understand that the Cassano knight adopted a policy of resistance to his master. However, the vassal's oath of loyalty to his master forced him to complete the tasks assigned to him by his master against his will.

He was even more disgusted with young Master Cesare who was wholeheartedly hooking up with the French.

But at this moment, when the lifeless body of the young man he had watched grow up was lying in the arms of old Xibo, who suddenly seemed ten years older, Knight Cassano's heart was filled with the thought of growing up and training with that young man.

time. His enthusiasm and ambition no longer made Cassano feel the slightest disgust, leaving only sighs and regrets.

When Old Xibo saw the "black wail" passing to the northeast, he immediately realized that something terrible had happened. This strange phenomenon was obviously a special signal, and it was probably Ladislaus and

Since Ladislaus was able to raise the alarm based on the Vienna contact method, Cesare's assassination should have failed.

Although he had a bad premonition, an hour later, after seeing Cesare's body brought back by Cassano who went to investigate the source of the signal, Lao Xibo still felt that his eyes were going dark and there seemed to be a torrent in his ears.

Washing away, it was the sound of his old heart struggling to pump out blood.

Although the body is like a dead tree, the clothes on the body match perfectly.

In the fight between life and death, even the son of the consul of the Republic of Liguria, the amulet that had protected Cesare for twenty years, could not save the life of this reckless young man.

After twenty years of countless disappointments, countless angers, and countless worries, only today, and the moment my son really died, did I realize that this is love, and that I have never loved other things, including rare treasures and beautiful women.

The passionate feelings I have given are the stupid feelings belonging to the weak that I have laughed at since my youth.

In front of many subordinates, Lao Xibo used all his strength to prevent himself from shedding tears like his crying daughter. He held the scepter of the Consul of the Republic of Liguria tightly, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and opened his eyes again.

After opening, start asking Cassano Knight about the situation.

The traces on Ladislaus' carriage, the large loaded carriage and the personal carriage used by Cesare, all testify beyond a shadow of a doubt that a fierce battle had taken place, as had the bodies of several other slain wanderers.

He was brought back to the consul's residence and identified by the deputy steward who was responsible for related matters. Although the body was completely unrecognizable, various traces confirmed that it was a member of a notorious criminal gang in the city. The leader of this gang was in Liguria.

The dark character Trickster who commands the highest price for "wet work" is Lurna. Although there are several 11th and 12th level thieves or assassins in other gangs, she is the only one in the dark mage. Her body has not been found.

Combined with Anna's testimony, it can be determined without a doubt that this is a just outcome brought about by an assassination. Of course, Lao Xibo will never admit that his son was legitimately defended. He immediately sent an envoy to Doria's mansion to conduct a severe questioning.

, and arranged to accuse Ladislaus in parliament of murdering his son. The shape of the corpse could indicate that Ladislaus might be a believer of a certain evil spirit.

Ladislaus was supposed to burn the remains, but was unable to do so due to time constraints.

And as long as the sorcerer royal family does not collapse, let alone Ladislaus and the devil. Even if he really believes in the devil, no one can do anything to him.

However, it is inevitable to lose a lot of reputation.

Of course, the fact that Cesare organized the assassination of Ladislaus, or that Ladislaus murdered Cesare has no impact on the situation that the parties will take. No matter how much the parliament tries, it is impossible to bring Doria to justice.

How is the family? The real question is whether to escalate the situation, take this opportunity to completely break with the Holy Roman Empire, openly ally with France, or even send troops to participate in France's next military action.

However, if this motion is pushed forward now, it is likely to be considered by the family members and allied families as a hasty reaction that was carried away by the anger of losing their son. If it is a hereditary kingship, then no matter what reason the prince is killed by the nobles of the enemy country,

Killings can inspire unity, but the prestige of the city's nobility, elected every ten years, is likely to arouse suspicion and opposition.

Thinking of this, Old Cibot could only order his eldest son Caligula to immediately make an appointment with the French ambassador overnight, and obtain as much money as possible for his family through Cesare's death without making any commitment to participate in the war.

compensate.

After sending away his eldest son with complicated emotions, Lao Xibo squeezed out the anger from his teeth as if coming from the endless abyss: "Cassano, you personally lead the team, you immediately mobilize the family warriors and the shadow union's masters, let their president

We will also attack together. Anna will also assist you. She can help you in the wild. You must capture Ladislaus for me. No matter how powerful the warlock royal family is, I will let him know in the dark cell and let us know.

The price of bloodshed for the Sibo family.”

Anna stopped crying, waved her hand, and a strange life appeared on her hand. This creature was about 18 inches tall, with a pair of 2-foot-long wings, and its body seemed to be composed of many flowers rolled into a ball.

The eyes seem to be two roses with thorns, and the joints are like embellishments with a few beautiful seven-star ladybugs. The back is mixed with something like forest soil, and there are many bright red bird feathers and animal scales.

, as a whole, it presents a form that combines fire worship and girlish fetishes. This is a natural creature with a distinct Kashusi mark and Anna style - Bernape Spiritual Pet.

As the girl waved again, the spiritual pet flapped its wings and flew out of the window.

It is not an easy task to escape from being chased by a druid in the wild.

'The moment the strange life flew out of the window, "Escape from pursuit" appeared on Ladislaus' mission interface.
