There was only a square table and a low stool in the dilapidated tent. There was a cup of tea and a large piece of black bread on the table.

This is the Venetian army, where Cardinal Fanese is having a meal.

Although it is much inferior to the actual selection of the Pope's royal chef, the chefs brought by Brother Riti from Venice can still produce some good dishes in the army.

It's just that Cardinal Fanese, who is now under house arrest, naturally does not have that kind of service.

However, this Roman aristocrat who grew up in fine clothes did not appear unacceptable because of this. He devoured the same food as the soldiers with a mouthful of bread and a mouthful of water.

After eating about a pound of bread, the soldier guarding the door opened the tent and little brother Liti walked in.

He first waved his hand to signal the guards to leave, and then spoke.

"All your servants are dead."

"Well, you didn't let them suffer much, right?"

"No, absolutely not. Don't you still believe me? They cut off the cervical nerves with one blow. The only one who suffered a little was your butler. He thought I was going to torture him, so he committed suicide by taking poison. Although the poison was strong,

It’s big, but suffocation is relatively painful.”

"Old Bill has always been so stubborn. He has followed our family all over the world since my father's time."

During the conversation between the two people, the younger brother Liti always had a calm expression, while Fonese looked increasingly sad.

"But there is nothing we can do about it. It is inevitable collateral damage." After watching Fonese recalling the old man who had followed him since childhood, little brother Riti finally said this.

"It's true, it's true, it's an inevitable loss." Fonese's expression frightened little Glitti. No wonder there are so many cardinals in the Roman Cardinals supporting him to become the next true elected pope. "This is

Thank you so much. I will never forget that you helped me take responsibility at this critical moment."

"Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously. I am the dictator of Venice. I am not a subject of Rome. Your Majesty God's grace was also obtained by you for me. It is natural to support you." In fact, he firmly refused to talk to the Duke of Bourbon.

This little brother is not the only one who is going to fight. Fang Nesaihong also has no interest in dying.

It's just that little Goriti is the dictator of Venice and has nothing to fear with tens of thousands of troops at his hands, while Fanese is the cardinal archbishop of the Roman Church. He must have an answer to the true election of the pope and his allies in Rome.

In order to give this explanation, Fanese did not hesitate to sacrifice his many faces and profound acting skills to make little brother Riti feel a chill in his heart. This feeling awakened him when he was instigated by Ladislaus to murder his father.

Panic.

"However, please be sure to pay more attention to the construction of the camp. Although our army has more than 10,000 people, it will not be a problem for the Spanish army to eliminate us. Even if we have 100,000 people, I am afraid that we are not the army that has experienced hundreds of battles.

Opponent." Compared with the soldiers who believed that it would not be a problem to fight one out of ten, Fanese, who had received a lot of military education since childhood, firmly believed that even a hundred thousand Italian ragtag troops were no match for the Naples Corps under the Duke of Bourbon.

"Please rest assured. My subordinates and I have discussed it repeatedly. The location we are in has water sources and slopes. It is difficult to deploy a large force. The Duke of Bourbon will definitely not attack us first." Although he avoided the main road.

.Put on an attitude that will never hinder your robbery.

, but in order to prevent the Duke of Bourbon from giving them priority to sweep them away to ensure safety, little Gorriti and Fonese still organized a careful defense. "What I am really worried about is the Roman side. Legend has it that the true elector can see through all the tricks in the world.

Character, can our methods be concealed from him?"

"Ah, it's impossible to hide it from him. Even if I sacrifice all my servants, it's impossible. I'm not trying to hide it from him. I just want to make him have nothing to say and make most of the other red archbishops believe us.

That's enough of an explanation. Killing Old Bill should be enough to convince most of his colleagues, including the Cardinal Archbishop of Orsini, to believe this explanation." Fonesse was very confident in his insight into the true election of the pope.

"I just hope you can ensure that he will not send a Roman fleet to support the Cretans against me." Under the mediation of Fanese, Crete made peace with brother Riti, but there were conflicts between them.

Still exists.

He had many plans to completely destroy the Cretans, and the Cretans must have similar plans.

Therefore, he still needed the support of Rome to gain maritime superiority and ensure the safety of navigation. This was also the price he paid for helping Fanese bear the notoriety.

"Don't worry. Don't worry. If you really choose the pope, you still need to contain the United Kingdom. Your existence is a big trouble for the United Kingdom." Fonese knows the value of Little Brother Riti very well. "And Grand Marshal Doria also intends to ensure that

Your independence.”

"Oh? Really? It is said that the meeting between uncle and nephew did not go well?" This meeting also attracted the attention of these two people.

The Fanese family and the Doria family also have an old relationship. The Fanese family also has a very good merchant fleet that takes the route of Liguria and Otias.

With the help of the Nese family, they obtained church offices and even became cardinals.

The secret negotiations between Ladislaus and Andrea Doria finally became known to everyone. Ladislaus proposed that the Doria family become electors of Liguria, although the conditions were much higher than those of the dukes.

, but it was still not accepted by the Generalissimo.

Not only that, even if bad things can travel thousands of miles, the news spread too fast, and the responses of the various electors were also different from their usual slowness, quickly causing an uproar in the Holy Roman Empire.

Because of this condition, all the German princes, especially the electors, were furious. Their envoys moved much faster than Ladislaus's army, except for the elector of Bohemia, who Ladislaus now also owned.

Six other people.

Ladislaus was said to be unhappy with the emperor. Madrid's latest response publicly refuted rumors that the emperor intended to promote a new elector and stated to all electors that the emperor had no intention of changing the seven elections.

The traditional electoral structure of emperors.

"But isn't the position of elector enough to satisfy Grand Marshal Doria? Did he refuse because he knew that Ladislaus could not fulfill his promise?" Being able to elect an emperor is not an optional power, Xiao

Gritty felt that Generalissimo Doria had no reason to refuse such a benefit. "The king of the United Kingdom is really strange. I don't think he didn't expect that all the German electors would fiercely oppose it."

Little Brother Riti has also seen Ladislaus' ability.

"Perhaps he has reached an agreement privately with certain electors, and now those envoys are only openly opposed. But based on my understanding of Generalissimo Doria, the last thing he wants is to bring Italy's

The city-state is especially connected with his motherland and the Holy Roman Empire of the Germans." Fanese looked very serious when he said this, with great respect and deep regret. "He is a patriot, a true patriot.

A patriot, but it’s a pity that he loves a country that does not exist.”

It's just that little brother Riti couldn't be sure if this was a real emotion or if it was part of Fonese's performance.
