Accompany Da Vinci's Super God Day

Most people in the French army noticed the change in the air, but more people looked blank.

——The alchemists in their country obviously can't make this kind of thing.

What's this?A meteor flying from the ground to the sky?

Why is there such a high-pitched sound?

The army was still driving livestock to step on mines, but the ground began to tremble faintly.

Some people raised their heads sensitively, but couldn't see what was coming towards them.

——It was as if a pack of wolves were approaching their prey with low growls.

Countless guns and crossbows approached here, and the mercenaries walked steadily and remained silent.

Immediately afterwards, more and more guards began to appear in the distance, as well as black muzzles of guns.

The French are stunned——

Don't these people want Lucca City?How dare they open the city wall and come out? !

And how come there are so many guns-is it because Florence is desperate to put all her chips in this bay?

"Fire--"

Luris roared loudly, and then several cannons began to burst into flames——

The shells whizzed and drew several parabolas in the sky, like hundreds of falcons pounced on their prey.

The crowd began to run to both sides like Moses parting the Red Sea, but soon there was an explosion over the ship.

The flames devoured and grew like demons, and countless blue, white and red banners were burned in the flames.

"Fire—!"

The first echelon began to retreat, and the other round rotated forward as if they were catching up.

Giant crossbows and giant cannons appeared in front of them at the same time, and many people detonated landmines as they fled in panic.

This was originally a difficult defense of the city with fewer battles and more, but now it has been reversed to this point.

There were already horns sounding in the distance, and several large ships even chose to turn around and leave.

The long wind on the cliff is as cold as ice and snow.

Heidi took a deep breath and turned to look at Da Vinci from a high place.

"22." He lowered his head and made a cross again, then raised his eyes to look at her: "What are you thinking?"

"Thinking about Borgia." She frowned and said, "The Holy See deliberately let him leak French secrets to the center of power in Florence, is he also expressing his opinion?"

"Very likely." Da Vinci nodded and said, "The Pope himself is under the control of France, and even part of the territory should belong to France."

Under such circumstances, the Holy See’s disclosure of this information to the Medici family, which has had a bad relationship for at least 20 years, is actually sending a signal.

— they did not get on well with France.

——and this moment is a good enough opportunity.

If Caesar Borgia proposes to another noble lady from Florence, and successfully exchanges vows and rings with her, then the whole of southern Italy is very likely to unite, after all, the relationship between Florence and Naples is quite good .

What the Pope wants... may be to take back the control that once belonged to him.

Heidi also obviously thought of this level, she showed a worried expression, looked at the retreating ships and said: "They have already started to change their targets."

Even if there are 4000 or [-] people killed or injured here, they can choose other positions to conquer.

——But the city of Pisa has already been strengthened fortifications and defenders, so will they attack directly along the Arno River all the way to Vinci, and then from Vinci to Florence?

"Don't worry about the city of Florence." Da Vinci put his hand on her shoulder, shook his head and said, "There have been news two days ago that even the Holy See has publicly condemned the French for declaring war—at least this time." , They still have brains when they stand on the sidelines."

France probably originally wanted to control Rome for a north-south attack, but it did not expect to be stabbed directly in the back by Alexander VI.

"We won't be able to defend this place for long." Heidi frowned, "Luca City is a military fortress, but they lost so many people in just three days——Leo, the mines in the other four directions How much is left?"

"There are 110 and [-] pieces in total. Our mercenaries understand the marking and importance, and will not mess around."

The entire city of Lucca is already impenetrable, even if some unlucky guy who doesn't have a good eye breaks out by himself and touches a landmine by mistake, it won't implicate other people in the city.

"We should go." Heidi whispered: "The French won't be so stupid as to risk their lives to open the way."

"But there is no need to go back to support Florence," Da Vinci said with a serious look: "The arms over there began to hoard and develop on a large scale four years ago, when you proposed to Lorenzo to strengthen the armaments." .”

"That is to say..." Heidi looked into his eyes and said, "We can fight northwest."

To the north of Lucca is the Principality of Asawa, and further north are the closely adjacent Principalities of Genoa and Milan.

Once Genoa, with its winding coastline, was taken, they... stood before France.

"A bold enough idea." Leonardo raised his eyebrows: "But we still need to stay here for at least one month."

This is a very prudent choice.

Throughout the Middle Ages, assassinations and lurking were ubiquitous. Although Lorenzo, the lord of the Medici family, was known for his kindness and fraternity, he was also suspected of being the benefactor behind many assassinations.

If they leave rashly, there may be French troops from the south sneaking into the city secretly, and then occupying and robbing everything here.

The first thing Heidi did after returning home was to establish double verification of secret orders and heraldry.

From now on, the city of Lucca can only be exited but not entered, and the files and fingerprints of all mercenaries in the army have been counted and confirmed again.

They need to stay here for at least 30 days, waiting for news from Florence.

Thanks to the Medici, the communication between the two places has now been shortened to three days, which is already the limit of changing horses along the way.

Sure enough, the French continued to go south, lingering near the city of Pisa.

They touched the ashes of the nose here in Lucca City, always thinking of at least asking for some benefits before going back.

An army of more than 3 people is not a small number, and it is difficult to control and manage it.

However, several lords in the south have already built iron walls, and they fought back hard enough.

Heidi breathed a sigh of relief when the good news came from the south.

She vaguely felt that it was best to follow her intuition and let the incident get bigger and bigger.

If both sides pretended to be stupid, and only regarded the raiding navy as thieves who came to plunder the treasure, there would be endless chaos in the future.

The map of Europe was divided up like cracked biscuit crumbs, and there were endless wars and mutual harassment for 500 years. The word unification sounds like a joke.

Not to mention the unification of Europe, even if it is just the unification of Italy, it is enough to promote the development of technology, culture and economy of the entire region at a faster speed.

Must hit.

She collected herself and her eyes fell on the 'genova' on the map.

Genoa, which now controls almost the entire Tyrrhenian Sea, is extremely rich and fragile.

In addition to the Italian 'genova', it also has another Latin name - 'janua'.

Legend has it that janua is a kind of god monster with two faces, one of which looks forward and the other looks backward, standing on the gate of time between the past and the future.

Because of this, January in English is called 'january', which symbolizes the end and beginning of everything.

Heidi looked at the silhouette like a crescent moon, her heart was calm and deep.

She vaguely felt that if this country could be captured, it would also herald the end and beginning of a period of history.

Take it away, and she would be a lord capable of rivaling Florence, and a political figure capable enough to influence the situation in Italy.

Controlling him also means that she will face the threat from France, as well as more troubles and challenges.

But as long as she goes further——

Then control more power and troops, and have more voice and status.

That gloomy past life, the countless scandals that were maliciously misinterpreted and ridiculed, and the present life that was once involuntary, will all be subverted and rewritten.

The other hand pressed on the back of her hand, the temperature in the palm was hot and clear.

"I'll accompany you." He stared at her and said, "Don't show such a hesitant expression again."

Heidi raised her head and stared at Leonardo for a few seconds, her voice was hoarse.

"I have never been a lord." She whispered: "Nor have I interfered to the point...."

"But you will do well." Leonardo stared into her eyes and said, "And I will be your permanent assistant."

From war machines to Longbridge gates, from medical treatment to gunpowder bombing, he can do anything for her.

"Heidi, you are a powerful enough existence." He held her hand tightly and swore allegiance like a knight: "You have done things that countless women can't even imagine."

She took a deep breath and suddenly laughed.

Yes.

I did it.

-2-

The entire city of Lucca still retains the previous layout, and the design is safe enough.

They selected Luris' eldest brother as the city defender, ordered the support from Florence to withdraw to the south, and then divided up four-fifths of the troops to continue northward.

The army withdrew from a tunnel, and sealed the exit after the last person pushed the cart out.

The convoy began to march toward the north in a mighty way, like a long formation of returning wild geese.

There is a relatively flat long road beside the bay, and the road is relatively smooth.

There are continuous mountains near here, which divide this area into two parts.

To the west are many small towns that are broken like biscuit crumbs among the mountains, and to the east are the territories of the Duchy of Milan and the Duchy of Modena.

They chose not to provoke the ideas of those lords, and took a shortcut to Genoa.

Before parting, Lord Lorenzo had already received the news.

His reply was still brief and forceful.

"—Florence is your eternal backing."

Heidi folded the page of the letter with a sigh of relief.

At the core, this person has no suspicion, he is already absolutely lucky.

If Florence is controlled by another confused lord, when she learns that she has decided to go north to Genoa, she will probably start to be suspicious and even make irrational orders, then she may not even be able to keep the city of Lucca.

It is not very difficult to defeat Genoa.

From the geographical point of view, it is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and because of many resources, it has become attractive enough.

In fact, throughout history, it has been tossed and tossed so many times like a dangling pearl earring.

Before the Romans came to build houses, the natives here were Ligurians.

After the fall of the Roman Empire, the Byzantines took it for themselves.

Then the Lombards and the Franks also came one after another, taking turns to enjoy this unique and superb port.

Later, it gradually prospered and became the Republic of Genoa, and fought several battles with Venice.

In the next few hundred years, it will be tossed back and forth in the hands of the Spanish Empire and the First French Empire, and its ownership will continue to change, and it was once regarded by the British as a piece of cheese for international transactions.

Heidi is quite aware that due to the existence of herself and Da Vinci, perhaps the history of the next few hundred years will be rewritten, and she has no way of imagining what the world will look like in the future.

At least for now, she can use a sufficiently calm and mature strategy to take down this crescent-like city first.

With a unique deep-water port, when the situation stabilizes in the future, you can expand and develop your fleet and international trade, and even explore other continents.

And once the presence of America and Asia is clear enough, access to many resources and medicines will eventually be able to open.

She rubbed her forehead, feeling that she was thinking too far.

At the beginning, she just planned to have a fairly stable job in Florence, and it would be nice if she could survive in such a strange city.

Later, by accident, she came to the Ducalai Palace-now the Palazzo Vecchio, and transformed from an alchemist to a hidden influencer in politics and business.

From Florence to Milan, from Milan to Lucca, many things that have been abandoned in the past are constantly turning into reality. Now even in Milan, there are workshops and shops of the Medici family selling penicillin.

All choices and judgments are like walking a tightrope over an abyss with your eyes blindfolded.

Fortunately, even if she made a wrong decision before, she survived smoothly.

There are more and more chips in hand, and the demands that can be satisfied are constantly expanding.

What will the world be like in another five years?

The road was bumpy all the time, and sometimes because the wheels had to run over too many stones, she would be woken up many times at night, and she didn't sleep well.

Obviously, there are no highways in this era. Sometimes when encountering large pits or ravines, whether it is possible to push a wooden cart loaded with cannons is a problem.

At this time, Da Vinci's existence was like a god.

—No one can figure out what's going on, but he can do it.

Find some seemingly fragile wooden branches, or dismantle a wooden cart and transform it into a bridge. Even if the bridge looks strange and thin, a long army like a dragon can pass through it.

Heidi stood on the other side of the bridge with an expression of astonishment that couldn't be added.

This man... could make colors, cast bronzes, and design bridges.

What else can he not do? !

After the army passed through, they chose to camp at the other end of the pit to rest.

The pile of wood that was a bridge just now was reassembled into the original car by a few guys in a hurry under Da Vinci's explanation and command.

Apart from some indentations on the wood, the usability is not affected at all.

Heidi stood by and watched the whole process of recovery, and was a little suspicious of her eyes for a while.

"You look surprised." He couldn't help laughing: "Isn't this already written in my manuscript?"

Heidi let out a long breath, shook her head slightly and said, "For a moment, I almost suspected that you were actually Merlin."

"It seems that my King Arthur is standing in front of me." He smiled deeper, lowered his head and kissed the back of her hand again: "My Majesty the King."

Luris rolled his eyes in the distance.

The bonfire has been set up in many places, on one side is the bay with waves, and on the other side is the rolling mountains.

The dots of fire are mixed in the gap between the sea and the mountains, like a necklace from a god who fell into the world.

The noise of people was drowned out by the mountain wind and sea waves, like the sound of silent insects.

"Speaking of Merlin, have you heard of that prophecy?" Luris fiddled with the bonfire, looked at Heidi who was eating grilled fish with her head down, and said, "It's the legend of the red dragon and the white dragon."

"What?" Da Vinci handed her a salt shaker, obviously curious: "You seem to know a lot about things in the north?"

"Mercenaries should be like mice, knowing enough about movements in all directions." Luris shook her finger, and the two mustaches on her lips kept beating along with the words: "This prophecy was fulfilled last year."

"what?"

"what?!"

"It's absolutely true." The second brother of Jino's family vowed to support him: "It's not just news from France, the Venetians are talking about it!"

1000 years ago, there was a king in England who wanted to build a high tower, but no matter how strong the tower was, it would collapse in the middle of the night.

The king asked his magician this question, and the latter brought before him Merlin, who was only seven years old.

"Your Majesty, it's because your tower is built on a deep swamp." The boy said, looking at the king.

The seemingly smooth ground is actually a deep underground pool with undercurrents.

"And in the deep swamp, there will be two huge rocks, and two giant dragons, one red and one white, will sleep in the middle." When the boy talks about this matter, people can't help but think of his blood relationship with the mother of the earth.

The king summoned his men and asked them to dig the ground under the tower, and they found Tan Chenhu.

And between the boulders, there really were two fiery red and silver sleeping dragons sleeping.

"So—the red dragon is Welsh, and the white dragon is Saxon," Luris straightened his slipped beard, and said in a low voice, "According to the prophecy of the great magician, these two dragons will fight endlessly, and finally the red dragon will end up fighting." will end everything."

Heidi stretched out her hands to warm the fire, and was a little distracted.

The warm feeling makes people drowsy.

"What does this have to do with now?" Someone next to him waved his hand before he could keep up with his train of thought, and said, "This is just a bedtime story for a three-year-old child—Shi Zhongjian doesn't even know where he is now!"

"But this prophecy has indeed been fulfilled—just last August, Henry Tudor defeated Richard III!" Mr. Jino said loudly: "He is now the brand new king of England!"

Heidi froze for a moment, and asked back: "The Plantagenet Dynasty has ended?"

"It's over! Now everyone is talking about this Henry VII!"

She was about to say something in a daze, but suppressed all her thoughts.

The drowsiness that had just surged was dispelled a lot, and her heart seemed to be filled with the white fog of London.

What kind of era is this—from Cesar Caesar to Henry Tudor, how much danger is there?

He ended the 30-year War of the Roses and created the Tudor Dynasty, which can be called the golden age of England. The red rose of Lancaster and the white rose of York were combined into a red and white Tudor rose. Wang Hui has an immortal glory.

"—and this monarch was only 28 years old when he became the throne last year! He is so young, and he is also the one who fulfilled Merlin's prophecy. He is like a legendary figure!" Countless stories of the legendary figure who went into exile in France at the age of 14.

Heidi hugged herself a little tighter, lowered her head and continued to cook by the fire.

The night wind in June is mixed with the light smell of grass and trees, and the sound of crackling campfires and chattering voices gradually become indistinct.

She hadn't had a good rest for a long time, and at this moment, her consciousness began to recede slowly like a sea tide.

The gloomy situation in the European continent, the noisy contention of guns and soldiers, gradually has nothing to do with her at this moment.

Leonardo had just roasted a bunch of wild fruits when he suddenly felt his shoulders sink and realized that his lord had fallen asleep leaning against him.

Luris obviously also noticed that the lord was so sleepy that he couldn't even pray, so he glared at the men next to him ferociously, and signaled them to lower their voices when they talked.

Leonardo let her lean on his shoulder, and took the silver fox fur cloak that Dejo had brought and covered her body.

She slept peacefully and soundly, even the sound of her breathing was light and quiet.

People were still chattering about the entanglement and love-hate relationship between Britain and France. There was a nightingale singing in the deep forest. He gently let her slide down to sleep on his lap, and closed the cloak a little more tightly.

If you sleep on your shoulders for too long, your neck will hurt the next day.

Those brown eyes fell on her face for a long time, as gentle and focused as before.

"Are you her lover?" Luris started trying to chew on the cooked acorn again, and asked casually, "Or is it unrequited love?"

Leonardo raised his hand to help her smooth the broken hair around her ears, and said softly, "I love her."

This sentence was something he had never touched and talked about before, but now it is so natural to confide in her ear.

If he lowered his head a little more, he could kiss her eyes and the tip of her nose.

But he just stared at her steadfastly, not offending or disturbing much, and let her sleep on his lap and have a good night's dream.

Jino next to him showed understanding and sympathetic eyes, and poured a cup of hot wine for this seemingly omnipotent but somewhat hesitant and dull man.

People who are just in love are like this, as if the person they like is Qiangwei, and they are afraid of disturbing her even if they are touched.

"Our lord is already fast asleep, and can't hear your confession." Luris muttered, "You should say such things while she is awake."

"It's not important." Her second brother shook his wine glass, raised his eyebrows and said, "If you don't talk about some things, maybe the two of you can get closer."

The owl in the grove cooed like the long needle of an old evening clock.
