Chapter five hundred and eighty second stand up
The cheers of the Habsburg troops triggered by Tony's death in battle were so loud that they caused a lot of panic inside the Sistine Chapel.
There are now more than twenty cardinals gathered in this room, including Italians, French and English people, everyone is helping the true elect pope to cast spells.
Although they could not see the situation outside, most of them knew who Florentino was, and the cheers for his name resounded from outside, which obviously meant that something was going on that was unfavorable to their side.
In their opinion, the current situation is really a nightmare, although the plan to really choose the pope seemed quite effective before the war, which once gave them great confidence.
With new weapons that can be put into practical use, effective alliances have also been organized.
However, things took a turn for the worse. The Republic of Liguria, which was said to be an ally, defected at the last moment, and the seemingly solid city was captured by a powerful enemy overnight.
Most people still can't figure out why a few hours ago, the Roman army came out of the city to cover up the Spanish army, but a few hours later, the situation turned out to be that every city gate was captured by the enemy, and the walls of the city of Rome and the Vatican were attacked.
The enemy fell, leaving only a few strongholds inside the Vatican Castle still resisting.
They more or less have their own interests in this city, and now all of that will obviously cease to exist.
The shops and sites they own will be handed over to the henchmen of the Habsburg family, not to mention that the prestige of the Roman Church will be ruined as a result. The interests of these cardinal archbishops are already closely connected with the Cyric Church. Their motherland is also
They were enemies of the Habsburg Empire, so they sincerely hoped that the church could survive this test.
But the situation was really bad. There were cheers outside the chapel. What was even worse was that the ominous cheers were getting closer and closer. It seemed that they were about to come in soon.
In addition to the cheers, another sound came in.
"The Emperor has an order, those who lay down their weapons will avoid death!"
"The Emperor has an order, those who lay down their weapons will avoid death!"
"The French are the ones who kidnapped His Majesty the Really-elected Pope. You Swiss people are all the sons of His Majesty the Emperor, and His Majesty the Emperor knows it."
"The true Pope and all the cardinals, don't be afraid, His Majesty the Emperor is coming to save you right away!"
"Even if you are a Frenchman, you can avoid death as long as you put down your weapons immediately!"
These calls for surrender frightened the cardinals, especially the French cardinals. Even at this point, the Habsburg family still missed their good friends in France. It seemed that the emperor broke his promise to King Francois.
Their deeds will not be forgotten for the time being, and there is nothing they can do against the king who is far away in Paris. It seems that they are going to use their flag as a sacrifice.
All eyes were focused on the face of the true chosen pope. The panicked subordinates hoped to seek comfort from their leader's face. Although his plan had proven to be no match for the warlock royal family, at this moment these red archbishops still
Seeking to rely on His Majesty the Medici, who was outstanding in elections and governance.
Fortunately, as usual, the face of the true chosen pope is still calm and calm, giving everyone reassurance.
It's just as if the situation has not reached the point of desperation.
In fact, the real elected Pope can be regarded as the person who knows the situation best on Sunday. He knew the bad news the moment Tony died. He could understand the insignificant and clear cold feeling in his heart, and followed
His loyal subordinates who had been loyal to him for many years have died on the battlefield.
It's just that he didn't let any emotions show, nor did he comfort the French alone. Any words of comfort at this time were meaningless and would only make the members of the French faction more uneasy.
The true chosen pope just kept raising his voice and prayed to Sirik with the loudest voice in his life.
As his voice rose higher and higher, his spirit became higher and higher, but at the same time, wrinkles began to appear on the face of the real chosen Pope, and his natural black hair began to change color at an extremely fast speed.
.
Waves of extremely pure purple air surged out from the eyes, mouth and nose of Sirik's portrait on the top of the hall, and drifted towards the place where the fierce battle was taking place outside the door.
……………
Tony's death triggered the second major retreat of the defenders after losing the city wall. In addition to the still fierce resistance on the steps of the Sisti Chapel, although the guards guarding various buildings in the Vatican Castle were basically elite Swiss,
But they all fell within less than ten minutes after Tony's death.
After losing their formation, the Swiss elite were no longer a tough nut to crack. They faced the siege and were quickly swallowed up one by one.
Even at this point, the persuasion to surrender did not receive any response from these stubborn Swiss people. While they cursed the Habsburg family, they shouted the name of God and fought to the death with their last strength.
Ladislaus, of course, commanded his troops to kill all the Swiss without mercy.
Since Ladislaus was willing to serve as a front-line commander, Ferdinand smoothly transferred part of the Spanish army command to Ladislaus. As a former enemy commander, Ladislaus was fully capable of commanding the Spanish officers.
He found a location in St. Peter's Basilica where he could observe the entire battlefield. This cathedral had undergone decades of renovations and was still not completed. The main building and ancillary facilities were still being added year after year.
Here he could see even the resistance of the Sistine Chapel breaking down.
Although the Habsburg side no longer has two "protecting the country" warriors, Misrilla, Silica Boss and Jarlaxle are still sharp enough as arrow figures. Oswald no longer dares to appear again.
The other resisters could not stop the three men and the troops behind them from approaching the still closed door of the Sistine Chapel.
Since he did not have the full support of the Ben Church, in order to prepare for future events and avoid causing any damage to this building where the remains of many true elect popes were buried, Ferdinand did not bring too many people into the place, but instead sent the most elite ones.
Guards companies patrolled the area to control possible looting and desecration.
There were only Baron Galliani and a dozen other guards around him, but when the situation reached this point, there shouldn't be any problems.
However, the Roman Church's thousands of years of accumulation did create problems when they could not have caused problems.
"Children who believe in God devoutly, I am the true chosen pope, God's pastor on earth."
All the Cyric believers on the battlefield, whether they were Swiss, Spanish, or subjects of the United Kingdom of Ladislaus, suddenly heard in their ears the steady, natural and majestic voice of Medici's true election of the Pope.
"My will is completely free. No one is coercing me. I still represent the highest and only will of His Majesty God in the world."
"Pious believers, stand up, stand up and defend your faith!"
Ferdinand was not a follower of Cyric, but he and Ladislaus were strong enough to have a natural affinity for the Magic Network, so they could also intercept the power of the True Chosen Pope spread through the Magic Network.
Ferdinand immediately realized the danger, and he did not hesitate to activate the "magic absorption" attached to a pin on his body.
Just after he completed this magic, several "flame arrows" fell on him intensively.
A total of three rockets were fired by a mage who had access to at least the sixth level of the magic network.
The Releaser is a rising star among the Spanish court mage, a young mage who is deeply favored by Ferdinand. He has already come into contact with the seventh level of the Magic Network when he is less than thirty years old.
This mage was born into a Spanish noble family. Although he was not a clergyman, he had always been deeply immersed in Cyric's teachings.
Ferdinand had always known that he was a devout Cyric believer, but it was only at this moment that he realized how pious he was.
Of course he had other more powerful attack magic, but he knew that Ferdinand had a pendant that was immune to the effects of instant death magic, so he did not use "Finger of Death" and "Dissociation".
His eyes now glowed with purple light, and he continued to launch continuous attacks on his monarch, and the second magic in his hand was taking shape.
