The battle outside the south gate of Rome became increasingly favorable to the Roman army.

The rabble becomes more courageous as they fight, while the elite troops become more frustrated as they fight.

Ferrucci knew from the enemy's resistance that the battle had reached the final stage, and he commanded the Roman army to rush straight to Ferdinand's banner.

Although small groups of disorganized Spaniards continued to spontaneously resist in order to protect their emperor, their power was completely unable to reverse the trend.

These small countercurrents were quickly swallowed up by the Roman tide.

However, as the Romans approached the banner, Spanish court elites also began to appear. Archangel Florentino had given up his efforts to restore order to the troops, and instead went directly into the battle to buy time for other officers and ensure that the emperor

Safety.

Although Ferdinand is powerful, if he makes any mistake in the dark night, it will be a catastrophe.

What's more, Florentino is also very sure of his own strength.

Although the overall situation is extremely unfavorable, he leads a group composed of several mages and rogues and is still an unstoppable force. Several of Ferrucci's elite subordinates seem to have seen the emperor's cloak several times, but they were defeated every time by Ferucci.

Lorentino's brief attack drove him back.

Several high-level rogues who were greedy for success were even beheaded by Florentino in an extremely quick duel.

Even if the overall situation is unfavorable, the old "Protector of the Country" remains majestic and gallops back and forth with a sword in hand. As long as the Roman warrior shows the slightest flaw, he will be severely beaten by him.

The several mages and rogues who cooperated with him also had a perfect tacit understanding and could always provide just the right amount of support.

However, General Ferrucci did not control the rhythm, and the military morale was available at the moment. These private soldiers of the family were stimulated by the honor and reward of killing the emperor and had such high fighting spirit. His suppression would not only damage morale, but also make those

People accumulate personal hatred against him.

At this time, these guys who were blinded by glory and wealth couldn't tell whether their commander was Lao Chen Pingzhong, or whether Ferrucci wanted his cronies to obtain this huge feat.

And the situation on the battlefield is still tilting in the direction of the Romans.

Although Florentino is brave and determined, in a battlefield with tens of thousands of people, his squad is still inevitably losing strength. In just a few minutes of battle, two people were wearing velvet black robes and their armor was also first-rate. They were obviously Spanish.

The emperor's bodyguard of the great nobles was also hacked to death with swords in the melee.

"I killed the Marquis of Bilbao!"

"This is the head of Duke Valladolid, have you seen it?! I cut off his head. I am invincible!"

General Ferrucci's subordinates were extremely excited about killing these distinguished figures. Although they were rude and uncivilized, the several archbishops following the attack could distinguish the coats of arms of these distinguished figures. Ferrucci had already ordered

Such results were immediately reported to the entire army.

The deaths of these noble figures made all the soldiers more convinced that they were approaching the emperor.

Ferdinand's banner was driven further and further into Vietnam, and was about to be driven down the Tiber River.

Once the emperor's flag retreats to the ship, the Spanish army, worried that it will be abandoned, will inevitably fall into a total collapse.

No matter how elite the troops are, they will have this reaction when they run away from the monarch. The damage to morale is much greater than that of ordinary commanders running away. Therefore, it is very dangerous from a tactical point of view for the imperial commander to personally conquer.

General Ferrucci had not had much hope in capturing or killing Ferdinand alive, as long as he could drive him to the ship.

The elites of the Spanish court were still able to handle the battlefield with thousands of people. Although it was not enough to turn the tide, it was more than enough to protect the emperor's safety.

He did have an elite team by his side, but he never considered attacking personally. Not to mention that the responsibility of command was more important.

Even if he suddenly arrived in front of the emperor, he thought that it would be difficult for him to deal with a "guoguo" great sorcerer despite his lack of strength. What's more, the strange object on Ferdinand's body must be a collection of the elite of the Spanish Empire. He was now restraining his hands for safety.

Once he had no choice but to take action, and if all his own elite were killed instead, then Ferrucci would have used himself to be nailed to the pillar of historical shame to fulfill the emperor's reputation for the rest of his life.

This problem also troubled Ferdinand. He tried several times to rush to Ferrucci's command flag to behead him, but was stopped by the surrounding guards. He was now the emperor.

Ferdinand was really unable to accept the situation in front of him. He brought the strategic reserve team of the Habsburg family across the mountains and seas to come here. His original intention was to achieve a great victory like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, but let alone such a great victory.

Now it seems impossible. Not only that, this general reserve force also risks being severely damaged along with the Naples Corps.

Although the armies of the Pyrenees and the Netherlands can still maintain the front, this will make his strategic offensive capabilities no longer exist for a long time.

The Spanish Empire has too many enemies. Even if one corps can attack or even win, there must be a main corps to deter all potential enemies in order to ensure that tactical victory can be developed into strategic interests. Otherwise, the battle will be won but the enemies will risk their lives.

out situation.

Although this place is not far from the Naples area of ​​Spain, those southern Italians are actually afraid of power and not evil. Two regiments were hit hard at once. Some of the local nobles must suddenly find that their family trees can be traced back to a certain person.

an ancient royal family of Naples, thus causing trouble for the emperor.

Coupled with the church's army and influence, his rule in southern Italy will soon be in turmoil, not to mention that France is bound to start another war in a direction they choose.

So Ferdinand was anxious, he couldn't lose.

However, he also knew that it would be a disaster if he was captured. The French king's record of treachery was too close, so he would never be careless when choosing the pope.

He definitely won't be released that easily.

Not to mention if he dies in battle, his son is still very young. Although his wife is a distinguished princess of the Yaglonni royal family, it is not known whether she has the talent to be a regent. Orphans and widowers must secure the throne.

It's never simple.

Although Ladislaus would definitely support his distant nephew, what he could do was actually limited due to the ocean barrier.

Why hasn't this guy come yet? He said that the Kuo-Toa can play the role of a surprise weapon!

Although as of yesterday, Ferdinand did not object to Ladislaus's plan just out of politeness. In his opinion, the resources Ladislaus consumed were not too many and would not hinder his cause of conquering Rome.

So it is inevitable.

As for those Kuo-Toa fishmen, he does have some use for them, but it would be better if most of them die.

But now, he was angry at Ladislaus's slow action.

While Ferdinand was disappointed and angry on the shore, support from Ladislaus finally arrived.

A chaotic shout came from behind the Roman army.

"We are surrounded!"

"For the Emperor!"

The quality of the entire Roman army was not high and they were too excited. They never realized that the Roman city behind them was asking for help.

When General Ferrucci realized that the situation had changed, Ladislaus not only controlled the southern gate of the city of Rome, but also sent a force to attack him from behind.

All this made them understand that Rome was lost!

These low-quality troops were exposed for what they were, and they were suddenly plunged into chaos.

Ferdinand was greatly refreshed: "Serve your emperor right now!"
Chapter completed!
