Partly because of Sirica's boss's words, and more because of Ladislaus's reputation in night battles, when the overall situation of the siege was decided, Tony left Orsini with most of the Swiss Guards to strengthen the city wall.

and control of various key points within the city.

The Swiss Guards he controlled were the elite of the city's defenders. Although the Pope was confident in his election with the help of cannons, it was obvious that these Swiss were still the mainstay of the city.

But even though Tony took away the most elite troops, the situation still didn't get much better for the Orsini family.

The walls of the palace, which is like an inner city, have been completely lost, and the passages between the various houses have been controlled by the mercenaries of the Medici family. As long as there are some die-hard Orsini elements in a few important buildings,

The last resistance.

In Lao Tanshur's view, this was an act of complete despair, but he also understood why the other party acted like this. For the Orsini family, they must fight even if they are desperate.

After the Colonna family moved away most of its power, the most important obstacle for the Medici to truly choose the pope and to rule the city of Rome deeply was the Orsini family.

Moreover, the real ambition of the elected pope is obviously not only to rule Rome in his generation, but also to put down roots in Rome for his descendants. The land is so limited that it can only support one big tree. If he wants to build a large and leafy family,

The tree on the original land must be eradicated.

Although the position of the true elected pope will never be hereditary, with just a few more generations of management, the Medici family can stabilize Florence's ruling family and at the same time obtain the Orsini family's current position in Rome.

Although this mutual internal and external alliance is slightly inferior to today's Habsburg family, it is still enough to become the undisputed number one family in Italy.

Lao Tanshur looked at the private soldiers of the Medici family patrolling around the mansion and felt that this was a very possible plan. Although France did not like the appearance of a powerful Italian family, the Medici family obviously had more people nowadays.

It's the Habsburg family's trouble.

A powerful central and Italian power will instinctively and resolutely oppose the country that controls Naples and Milan. This will relieve the extremely huge pressure on the Kingdom of France.

Because of Spain's obvious qualitative advantage, the Kingdom of France mobilized more troops on all fronts than the enemy in person. Although this did stabilize the situation in the Pyrenees and the Netherlands, it also created financial problems for Spain.

It has put a lot of pressure on France, but France's financial pressure is obviously greater. If it were not for the taxes provided by a population that is more than twice that of Spain, second only to China, and at the same level as Japan's Ottomans, France would have gone bankrupt long ago.

Of course, even with the size and population of the Kingdom of France, there are undercurrents, and the forces opposing the royal family are growing day by day.

More trouble must be found for the Habsburgs, whether it is the Ottoman pagans or the German princes. Any force that can distract the Habsburgs is a friend of the Kingdom of France.

It was not a problem for Lao Tanshur to be distracted and think while calmly commanding his French bodyguards to sweep away a strong building of the Orsini family.

Although the Swiss Guards left, the combat effectiveness of the team of less than twenty people led by Lao Tanshur was still sufficient.

Wherever there is a relatively strong resister, this team will rush over. Even powerful warriors above level ten will have no resistance at all when faced with such a well-coordinated team.

Occasionally, when he encounters a rogue who is alert enough, Lao Tanshur will also release two magics. The shadow magic he obtains by communicating with the Shadow Demon Network is really a powerful weapon against enemies with less willpower.

After the purge continued for another hour, the Orsini family, a famous family of the Roman Church for thousands of years, had lost more than half of its members, and most of those who resolutely resisted had been killed or captured after exhaustion.

The last resistance was concentrated in the inner chapel of the Orsini Palace. Various rare objects and scrolls accumulated by this family for thousands of years were constantly emitting light. A group of Medici family troops rushed in and were swallowed up.

Although killing or capturing the Cardinal Archbishop of Orsini is a qualification that can always be proud of, after realizing the difficulty of this achievement, most attackers no longer take the initiative to attack this last stronghold.

Although several senior Medici commanders had the intention to continue the attack, after the first few failed attacks, they were unable to continue to pressure the soldiers to carry out such an action with huge casualties.

The entire mansion is full of easy-to-obtain trophies, ancient artworks and beautiful young women are waiting for them to get it, so why bother to fight anymore.

Before Lao Tanshur arrived, the commanders were at a loss what to do, and they even discussed whether to move the "Wrath of God" in.

"Your Highness Orsini, it's time to surrender. You are a distinguished member of the College of Cardinals. His Majesty the true chosen Pope will definitely pardon your life."

The leading commander wanted to shout for the defenders to surrender, but received no response at all. The last armed force of the Orsini family just took the time to recover their strength and redistributed potions and scrolls to prepare for the final battle.

Lao Tanshur did not have any position on the internal struggle in the Roman Church State, but out of consideration for strengthening the defense of Rome, he decided to attack the chapel himself.

Although the number of Lao Tanshur's personal guards was limited, they still maintained excellent order in the chaotic Orsini mansion, and no one participated in robbery or rape.

They gathered around Lao Tanshuer, whose silhouette could barely be seen in the dark night, and approached the chapel step by step.

"His Royal Highness Tanshur, His Holiness the Pope believes that it would be better for the Cardinal of Orsini not to accept trial. This would be better for everyone." A Medici commander said to Old Tanshur.

"His Royal Highness the Cardinal will die in battle with honor." Lao Tanshur said nothing, and one of his servants answered on his behalf.

Since strengthening the power of the Medici family in Italy is in line with the interests of the Kingdom of France at this stage, Old Tanshur will not let the head of the Orsini family live for a moment longer.

The Orsini chapel is a two-story building. The door of the church has been destroyed in the previous battle. Looking from the outside in, no remaining resisters can be seen.

However, this does not explain the problem. The attacker who just rushed in thought there were not many enemies, but as soon as he entered, he was attacked by intensive firepower from all directions.

The French wanderer who opened the way knew very well what to do at this time. He did not enter through the hole in the front, but suddenly stepped on it and jumped directly to a tree in the courtyard, and then used his force to jump directly from a tree on the second floor.

Jumped in through a window.

The sound of broken glass was heard, and at the same time, Lao Tanshur fired a black ray at the wall. The ray opened a black round hole in the building mountain, and then the French warriors swarmed in through the round hole.
