"Traitor, conspirator, shameless national thief." A disheveled man scolded, waving his whip as if madly.

This is little brother Riti seeking revenge for his father, the Archon.

He hung the corpses of the Speaker and the Navy Commander, and then whipped them crazily.

Ladislaus really didn't want to participate in such things as whipping corpses, but he couldn't let his little brother Riti do it, because most of the ships of the Venetian Navy fled after dawn when they found that there was no Spanish main fleet in the ocean.

After leaving the anchorage, only about a quarter to a fifth of the captains belonging to the Goriti family finally chose to stay.

Ladislaus must try his best to stabilize the emotions of those who stayed. In addition to this drama, Boss Sirica has "searched" all kinds of evidence, including conspiracy letters, lethal potions, and the executioner's confession.

Wait wait wait.

In short, there is irrefutable evidence. There is absolutely no doubt that Consul Goriti was assassinated on the order of the Speaker.

In other words, for those who are unwilling to think, do not want to think, or are unable to think, there is no doubt about it.

"The great revenge has been avenged, and your father will be proud of you." Under the gaze of more than a dozen captains, Ladislaus patted the younger brother Liti on the shoulder.

"This is all thanks to your help." The first sentence is quite similar, but what this man said later while whipping the corpse is not very logical. "The great revenge must be avenged, and I will do the same."

My revenge has been avenged. Thanks to your help, my great revenge has been avenged. Dad, my son has avenged you. Thank you very much. My great revenge has been achieved."

Brother Riti's mental state is obviously not normal. Ladislaus believes that after a while, maybe this little brother Riti will be able to get around him, and from now on he will live in a world where his father was not killed by him.

He probably won't wake up again until a few minutes before his death.

But Ladislaus didn't care how little brother Riti deceived himself. Anyway, he was so deeply involved in the drama that the captains could also believe this explanation. At least a few more people believed this explanation.

Fortunately, although little brother Liti was deeply involved in the drama, he still couldn't distinguish between reality and drama. He whipped the whip a few more times and shed a few more crocodile tears before he began to take the initiative and the latter passively.

The invited senior officials of the Republic of Venice said: "Thanks to everyone's understanding and the help of the Cardinal of Habsburg last night, we crushed the rebellion of the Trapattoni cabal. This is a great victory for the Republic of Venice.

!”

"This is also a great victory for the Gritty family!" Ladislaus said, which little Gritty himself couldn't say very well.

"Yes, a great victory, but although it is great, it is not perfect. We only eliminated the rebels in Venice, but the territory on the mainland is still under the control of the rebels. Cyprus and Crete in the east are the enemy's nests!

"Most of the ships of the Republic of Venice have fled overseas, and they will become a force against Little Goriti.

The Governor of Crete, Sebastian Venel, was the most prestigious figure among the remaining Venetian executives, so most of the naval captains spontaneously retreated towards Crete.

It was precisely because of their retreat that Ladislaus gave up his attempt to swallow up the Republic of Venice. Without a powerful navy, it was impossible for him to rule the island of Venice.

However, he would not be polite to territories where the navy could not reach them.

"I know that everyone has heard some unfounded rumors. It is said that our Austrian army wants to take the opportunity to destroy the Republic of Venice. I assure you that this is the most despicable lie and is absolutely not true." Ladislaus sincerely assured everyone

.

"Yes, how could the sorcerer royal family, who are rich all over the world, set their sights on an island like ours that even a horse can't run away from?" Little brother Riti also cooperated in time.

"Austria has no ill will at all towards the Republic of Venice, and no territorial ambitions!" Ladislaus's words immediately caused quite a commotion among the Venetian people. "Today, my men and I will leave the island of Venice."

Ladislaus will leave, taking with him the treasury of the Republic of Venice.

"Praise to the Warlock Royal Family."

"Praise you, Your Highness."

This statement was really well-received for a while.

After pressing the button, the younger brother Li Tixu continued: "I will lead the Republic's fleet to Crete in the near future to clean up the rebellion. I have to ask Your Highness, Your Highness Habsburg, to help me clear out the rebellion on the mainland."

"Rebellious officials and traitors will be punished by everyone." The two sang together, causing the praises of the Venetian nobles to stop abruptly, and they fell into silence again.

Brother Riti is not qualified to represent the Republic of Venice at all. According to the usual practice, the consul election should be held at this time, but brother Riti obviously does not intend to engage in such nonsense anymore. As for going to Crete to raid

Rebellion is obviously bullshit.

Not to mention that most of the ships went to Crete. Even if most of the navy was in his hands, he could not go to Crete to "cruel the rebellion."

Things in the Mediterranean now depend on the attitudes of Spain and the Ottomans, and the next thing will be determined by the development of diplomacy.

Ladislaus obviously did not have no territorial ambitions. Once the territory on the mainland of the Republic of Venice was controlled by Austria, it would be difficult to get it back.

But now it is clear that no one can organize Radice's action.

On the same day, with the support of Ladislaus, Brother Gritius declared himself the emergency dictator, appointed Aramis as the city defense officer, and reorganized the Venetian army.

Ladislaus and his men returned to the mainland the next day.

Then the enemy launched attacks on the Republic of Venice from several directions at the same time, or in other words, the "rebellions" everywhere were attacked by foreign friends.

Treviso and Verona were attacked by Austria.

The westernmost territory of Brescia was attacked by the Marquis of Mantua, in return for Ladislaus's long-term support of the Habsburgs from the Gonzaga family.

Relying on the lubrication of gold and silver dug out from under the Temple of Woking, Austria's war machine became quite efficient and powerful again. After a salary increase for civil servants, they entered a brief state of excitement.

The troubles in various logistical supplies have subsided for a while.

The Austrian army was well-armed, large in number and well-supplied. The Venetians under siege not only lacked unified command but also had confused thinking.

There were inevitably members of the Goriti faction among the defenders of each fortress. Although they did not know that Austria was the invader, they did not want to end up with the losers, so they took the initiative to surrender to Austria.

This makes it impossible for those who want to resist.

Several strong fortresses that had thwarted the old emperor fell one after another in less than a month. By early April 1521, all the western territories of the Republic of Venice on the mainland had been divided between Austria and Mantua.
