Chapter 306 Digging the Sludge
Under the setting sun, the former river channel was now densely populated with Austrian soldiers, thousands of whom were digging around in the mud.
Watching the sky getting dark, Ladislaus sighed and said to Frundsberg: "Retract the troops, without light this is a fool's errand."
The light source that torches can provide is limited, and it is also quite costly. This material, which can increase the army's ability to move at night, is now a valuable military commodity, and its price has risen sharply.
So Ladislaus did not consider using it.
At the end of another day, the "Vase of Guangrong" was still not found.
The Duke of Bavaria and his Italian mercenaries were not invited to take part in the work for obvious reasons.
The Austrian soldiers were not very opposed to this work, after all, the shrimps, crabs, fish and turtles in the rivers could make good soup.
"Stop making soup, make some vegetables." Compared with the soldiers who were satisfied with enough meat and fish, Ladislaus was inevitably a little rich.
Mrs. Reinhard's embankment work has been completed quite well. Now she can be said to rely entirely on her own talents to survive. The underground drainage system of Wiener Neustadt she designed and constructed is also widely praised, although it has not yet been put into actual use.
But at least it's well designed and quite economical.
"Can I walk again tomorrow?" Mrs. Reinhart finally couldn't help but ask.
"The Saxon army is already very close. It would be too dangerous once a war begins." Ladislaus kept Mrs. Reinhardt for a few days in the name of the river embankment still needing maintenance and monitoring, but he planned to continue to destroy it.
I have maintained military discipline for a long time.
"I can now access the fourth layer of the magic network, and I can definitely participate in the battle." Her series of engineering work pleased the Lord of the Earth, Gulamba. Works such as building embankments and storing water belong to Gulamba.
Favorite.
The earth controls the water flow, what a wonderful sacrifice.
As a result, Mrs. Reinhard received considerable attention and favors from Gulamba.
"No, you are now an important asset of Austria. War is too dangerous for you." Ladislaus controlled his passion and nature to maintain discipline, but Mrs. Reinhardt had not been able to do anything for a while.
When I met Ladislaus, I thought that this job was an opportunity for me, but I didn’t expect that Ladislaus could bear it. "This time I got a lot of jewelry from Regensburg. Just wait a moment."
You can choose whatever you want, and I will spend more time with you when I get back to Vienna."
Mrs. Reinhard had no choice but to return to Vienna with a heart full of melancholy. Even the many jewelry businesses belonging to the family of the former mayor of Regensburg could not comfort her heart.
This is helpless. If Ladislaus cannot control himself, the officer corps will naturally follow suit. Only when he shows his respect for military law through his actions can military law be truly authoritative.
Not long after Mrs. Reinhard was sent away, Boss Sirica came.
"The Saxon army has not been allowed to enter Nuremberg and is currently stationed outside the city." Although Ladislaus used the approaching Saxon army as an excuse to drive away Mrs. Reinhard, in fact the Elector of Saxony and Martin Luther did not go south.
Accepting the battle, he wanted to control the Free City of Nuremberg first. However, Ladislaus defeated Bann's elite at the Battle of the River and easily defeated Regensburg. These two victories made Nuremberg's city nobles dare not make it public anymore.
Supported the Elector of Saxony.
Even the neutral attitude has become more honest, and those who quietly support the Benn church no longer dare to do it. Ladislaus has received a guarantee from the Nuremberg envoy. Neutrality will be strictly observed in the next conflict, and both warring parties will
No supplies or information will be received.
This is not bad for Austria, after all, Bann believers are already the mainstream in Nuremberg.
Moreover, Ladislaus can now be on the defensive. The "Vase of Vast Capacity" that can hold the blood of thousands of people is a real treasure, a top-notch wonder that can distort mass and space. He dug three feet into the ground here, Saxony
The army will naturally come to your door.
Saying that a decisive battle was imminent was just an excuse for Ladislaus to coax Mrs. Reinhard away.
Even the Duke of Bavaria repeatedly requested to march with superior strength, but was blocked by Ladislaus. The Duke of Bavaria was extremely jealous that Ladislaus had made a huge profit in Regensburg, but unfortunately his troops were large.
It was difficult enough for some of the Italian mercenaries to organize their actions, which gave Ladislaus's Austrian army some free time to move around and the opportunity to make a fortune.
Ladislaus had great hopes and was quite eager to dig out the treasure. After all, it was not a simple matter to fish out a bottle from the mud and stones under the river bed. It really required digging three feet into the ground.
The Saxon army will arrive at any time. By then, naturally, the battle will have to be won before anything else.
However, in a dangerous battle, no one can guarantee victory. Ladislaus regarded it as a wise saying to consider defeat before victory. After all, if the decisive battle is won, there will naturally be a hundred correct choices to choose from.
If it fails, there is probably only one way to survive from death.
Therefore, treasure digging is very economical. Dig out this treasure before the battle. By then, regardless of victory or defeat, you will have gained something.
However, after digging for a few days, the information brought by Boss Sirica was indeed that Martin Luther did not leave Nuremberg, but instead fought a street fight in Nuremberg. It turned out that Martin Luther refused to accept a neutral Free City of Nuremberg.
While stationed outside Nuremberg, he hooked up with the Bann faction that was everywhere in the city, and also captured a city gate and entered Nuremberg.
However, his progress in the city was very unsatisfactory. He was too hasty and announced that all residents in the city must hold a conversion ceremony to convert to Benn before fully controlling the city.
Unlike Regensburg, there is no Dark Sun Bishop in Nuremberg. This should have been a good thing for the Bann Church. Unfortunately, the Sune Church in this city has also developed quite well because of this.
The Suni Church in this wealthy city is full of degenerate rich people and sensualists. It is definitely not possible for them to launch an uprising. The most they can do is sing and sing to ridicule the greed and indulgence of the Cyric Church.
However, the invasion of their hometown by the Elector of Saxony aroused their enthusiasm to defend their homeland, and the order requiring them to convert sparked a raging fire. Several young men who were known for their incompetence in Nuremberg actually launched a very cruel street fight.
