"We have the situation under control. We don't need the Austrian army to enter the city to solve the problem. Of course, with the support of the Warlock Royal Family, things can be solved more smoothly and with less bloodshed."

The messenger in front of him had a red face and seemed excited that the arrival of the Austrian army had ensured his master's victory.

But when Ladislaus looked at him, he felt that there was something else he didn't know.

His experience in the city of Liguria taught him that when it comes to power and money, no matter how good things seem to be, things will eventually go wrong, and getting the benefits smoothly never happens.

"Everything is going well so far?" Sazhastan asked. "Everything is going well?"

"Everything is going well, but it can't be said to be normal. The situation in the city is already very tense. As soon as I bring back your support to the mayor, the bishop has already mobilized the troops loyal to the interests of our city to severely suppress those who want to take advantage of it."

The city is dedicated to the enemy's Speaker." The envoy's answer was quite normal and consistent with what the Austrian army saw along the way. "But the Speaker is not a very tenacious person. My master, the Mayor, told me that he is convinced that his opponent

In the end, we will choose a dignified exit rather than a last-ditch effort."

"Why are you so impatient, Mr. Mayor?" Sazastan continued to ask Ladislaus to observe the envoy's reaction, "Why don't you wait for our army to arrive before taking action?"

"Relocating all the troops back to the city in time can avoid unnecessary conflicts. Some blind idiots will die if they die. If the army of the Warlock Royal Family is damaged, it will be irreparable." The messenger said seriously.

Shameless words.

"Your Excellency, Mayor, you are overly worried. Our Austrian army's experienced elites can deal with the militia with ease." Unexpectedly, Frundsberg fully accepted his humility and replied even more arrogantly that the so-called border patrol force of the Free City of Nuremberg was in name only.

The situation in the Free City of Augsburg will not be much better. "There will not be any casualties."

"That's natural, that's natural. It's just that although the security forces on the border are all supporters of the Mayor, they are also mixed with people from the Speaker. If they are not transferred back to the city and if the news about the Warlock Royal Army is leaked, then it will be a disaster.

It's not good." The messenger became even more humble. Even Frundsberg's show-off, which was almost insulting, was flattered.

"Knight Sickingen, right?" The envoy had mentioned his identity the last time they met, and Sazastan suddenly mentioned it again.

"Yes, yes, Your Highness Zhenguo, you still remember the villain's name. I am really lucky for this villain."

"I think you just recently became the bodyguard of the mayor of Regensburg?" Sazastan always felt that this name was familiar. Now he finally remembered where he had seen this name. "After all, you were a special person a few years ago.

Knights under the Archbishop of Lille."

"Yes. Your Highness, my family has been serving His Highness the Elector of Trier since my grandfather." Sazhastan's words made the knight in front of him change his face, but he knew that the other party could say this step by step.

.Then there is no point in denying it.

"Your career seems to have been hindered, Knight Sickingen." Sazastam continued to narrate calmly. "His Majesty Charles V has always supported you and promised you the title of a marquis."

"I really didn't expect that just by receiving four hundred talers from His Majesty the Emperor every quarter, I would be able to make the Spanish Prime Minister remember my name." Knight Sickingen bowed again.

"There are four hundred and fifty talers per quarter. The Sickingen Knights. I remember clearly every emperor's silver taler that I dealt with, the Sickingen Knights, not to mention that His Majesty the Emperor is not just a mere

Giving you several talers, he also allows you to establish a hereditary territory in Trier after serving him, allowing you to make promises to those knights and establish

Is that the name of a very powerful faction in the city of Trier, the Brotherhood of Brothers?" Sazhastan's voice turned stern. "So I can't help but ask, why has the emperor supported you and your father for so many years?

Why weren't you in the city when the army came to Trier, and why didn't you open the city gate to pay back the investment of the Warlock Royal Family for many years?!"

Sazastan's words made Ladislaus raise his eyebrows slightly. Charles V's investment was really extensive.

The Habsburg family's deep-seated attitude towards religious electors is the same as that of all the royal families of the Holy Roman Empire. That is, they always want to produce these semi-feudal and semi-religious forces, but in view of the past desire to eradicate these religious electors

After the defeat suffered by Hou's emperor, the Habsburg family acted more covertly this time.

"His Majesty Charles V and his grandfather, the old Emperor Maximilian, may their souls rest in peace. They did support me and my father, but just when the fruits were about to mature, I lost support, and then my organization

It fell apart." Knight Sickingen no longer looked as ugly as before, but stood up straight and replied to Sazastan. "It is the attitude of the Warlock Royal Family that has changed, not mine."

It is understandable that His Majesty Ferdinand gave up the investment made by his father and brother for many years to concentrate his efforts on the Kingdom of France.

"You incompetent thing, after decades of funding, you can't control your organization in just one year?" Frundsberg was unceremonious. "Can't you mortgage your family's property to your subordinates?

How many times will the salary be paid?”

"Money is just a medium. The real reason why I can wait for an opportunity to deal with the religious elector is because I have the support of the royal family. Losing funds not only means the collapse of resources, but also makes my subordinates think that the attitude of the warlock royal family has changed.

No more, without the warlock royal family behind me, I am just a mere knight.

Why fight against the Archbishop of Trier?" I have to say that the self-defense of the Sickingen Knight is quite reasonable. The opponent is a powerful religious elector with the Roman Church as his backer. Although these archbishops born in German nobles are not always

We are of the same mind as the Roman Church, but we will still stand by and help each other in times of real crisis.

This peasant uprising further proved this point.

Knight Sickingen continued: "Someone smelled danger from this change and reported it to the archbishop. So my organization was finished before the uprising was launched. I managed to escape. I lost my territory and lost my life."

After losing my family, I only have this life left."

Knight Sickingen bowed again, and then said directly to Ladislaus: "In any case, I am very grateful to the Warlock Royal Family for their support to my family for many years, and I also feel sorry for my failure to repay these investments in the end.

, but I am now serving the Mayor of Regensburg. If there is nothing else, please allow me to resign. Within three days, the reward promised by the Mayor will be delivered to your camp."

This knight behaved quite sensibly, and Ladislaus could not blame him: "In any case, I still want to wish you..."

"Your Highness, Your Highness, we must mobilize the troops immediately."
