Accompany Da Vinci's Super God Day

They traveled long distances west of the Apennines and took Massa without difficulty.

That city was just a small town in this era, and it only took one shot to blow down the city wall.

While the citizens were fleeing in panic, a well-trained regiment carrying the nine-edged diamond banner entered the small town. Not only did they capture alive the lord's family who were trying to escape with gold and silver, they also found a map of the surrounding area.

The map is really a good thing.

In this period without satellite remote sensing technology, people don't know what other areas look like, where there are mountains and where there are seas.

The rather scientific concept of map surveying and mapping in modern society was just taking shape at this time. The map outline in the parchment scroll was vague and there were few marks, but it was enough to give them a certain reference.

From Massa onwards is La Spezia.

And attacking La Spezia is tantamount to standing in front of Genoa.

This small city has a fairly self-sufficient system. The development of food and fisheries can only be regarded as mediocre. Commercial trade is also rough and private, and there is no independent caravan.

The only special product is marble with a fairly good color.

However, this thing is bulky and difficult to carry, so the external sales are also very mediocre.

—Maybe Michelangelo would like it here.

Heidi didn't stay here for too long, and ordered Luris' second brother to send a small group of people to stay here, and asked them to compare their fingerprints when receiving instructions, and to keep a posthorse for sending letters.

The army rested for three days inside and outside the city, and then marched all the way north.

Lucca, Massa, La Spezia...

Sitting in the carriage and listening to the sound of Leonardo playing olive leaves, she suddenly thought of something, opened the curtains and looked at Luris who was riding beside her on a horse: "Do you know anything about La Spezia? "

"I heard that it is under the control of the Genoese, and the guards are pretty strict," Luris mocked. "It's just a matter of one or two shots, so there's nothing to be nervous about."

"I mean—are there any resources in that city?"

"Resources?" Luris touched her chin, expressing that she was not clear.

But Mr. Fabio, who was sitting in the bullock cart behind her, said something suddenly, as if to answer this question.

Heidi stuck her head out of the window and asked, "What is the old man talking about?"

The knight grinned, and lifted the old man to his horse with one hand. The latter almost fell down in a hurry, and glared at her angrily.

"That's where the heretics are punished." The old man refused to caress her, so he grabbed the saddle with both hands, and said danglingly by the window: "There are countless coals there—my lord, you also know that bishops punish her." The ways of the heathen, who order the sinners to drag such a filth that blackens the soul!"

Heidi frowned and repeated: "Coal? You mean, the kind of coal that can be used as fuel?"

"It's not just the coal field—" The old man was knocked on the saddle like he was sitting on a trampoline, and his voice was intermittent: "It's a place full of sins, and even the spring water that flows out of the ground is the black blood of the devil! "

Heidi felt her mind go blank, and she knew what the message meant.

Is the naval arsenal base of Italy a hundred years later, here?

When she read the battle reports and news explanations, she seemed to have seen pictures of submarines or other things——

In other words, can this place be used as an incubator for modern industry?

Sufficient fuel, an excellent deep-water port, and can link both sides of Genoa and Lucca, and there is the shelter of the Apennine Mountains behind.

What a lucky coincidence!

Since the army was divided twice, there are only about [-] mercenaries left.

But instead of complaining about the hardships of the long journey, these guys were quite happy.

The lord obviously took good care of their mood, from rich food to a lot of gold coins, and a job well done can also be promoted to the military rank, which won everyone's envy and admiration.

Although she was a young beauty, no one dared to offend her—even if the two Mr. Jino left successively, it would not have any effect.

Many people who belonged to the Flame Legion have long been tamed by Luris Jino, who is more ferocious than a lone wolf, and are used to respect and awe for women.

The rough guys are actually quite talkative when they have money to earn and meat to eat, and those who offend military discipline are all dealt with according to the law, and they never care about old feelings when they talk to each other in an official tone.

From the old experience, it is impossible for a small army of 5000 people to capture La Spezia, which has a population of tens of thousands.

Yet all are optimistic because they are used to certain things—

When the defenders of La Spezia finally waited for this legendary enemy, they found that these people did not even intend to form a catapult.

The walls here are twenty or thirty feet high, and it is a joke to try to climb them with bare hands.

When the city of Massa fell, the captured hapless lord ordered his subordinates to crawl out of the dog's hole to send a letter to seek help for this distant friend and neighbor.

The Genoese were not stupid enough to send troops for reinforcements, but instead mobilized everyone to take care of the city walls.

When the generals and countless archers saw the mighty army on the city wall, they all cheered up and were ready to kill those opponents who were overwhelmed.

However, the people under the city began to set up camps far away, and then tents began to stand up like sand dunes.

——Aren’t you going to fight?

How come no one built ladders and siege engines?

What did they unload?

When the giant crossbow erected on the four vehicles was assembled again, the faces of the general and the lord turned green——

What the fuck is this? !

They all understand the truth, but why is this long crossbow so big? !

Not only that, but the artillery was also assembled within a day, and the distance was stuck in a position that the archers could not reach at all.

The general breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the small rock-like cannon carriage.

He's seen that thing before, it's not very powerful, and I'm afraid even sparrows won't be able to knock it down from such a distance——

The artillerymen in the distance who were adjusting the range ignited the fire line. After a while, a fireball was suddenly sprayed high into the sky, and it actually hit the city wall!

Before the city defenders could react, the shells exploded and splashed, blasting a hole in the huge stone city wall that had been built for hundreds of years!

The gunpowder smoke dissipated directly, and the white smoke choked people's throats.

The area near the collapsed area became crumbling, and some timid defenders howled and jumped out.

——What is this riding horse? !

——The cannons of other armies can't even blast through the city walls made of huge stones? !

Da Vinci, who was watching with a telescope, obviously noticed this too. He waved his hand and signaled the artillerymen of the other two units to practice as well.

"Just treat it as if you were testing the target and aim." He gestured, "Don't be too nervous."

The general here was already in a panic, and saw a few more small black spots aimed at this place.

Some soldiers already had a premonition that they were going to directly bombard the vicinity of the city gate this time, and fled to both sides without even taking a longbow, for fear that they would perish with the rubble.

"boom--"

"Bang-bang!"

Six or seven shells fired one after another, directly hitting the city walls and towers with an extremely clear view, causing obvious depressions in several places like pressed bread.

Hit—hit again!

The huge airflow directly caused some soldiers to turn over on their backs, howling helplessly in the air.

Some bricks and stones began to fall and collapse like a torrential rain. The destruction of the support point linked to the disintegration of other stones, and even the shape of the city wall began to become chaotic!

"General—this is impossible to defend! We have no way to avoid these things!"

"General, run quickly! The city wall is about to collapse, if you don't run, it will be too late!"

"Wait a minute!" the general yelled, "Let the arrows! No one is allowed to run! Let the arrows go!"

At the same time as the order was issued, a long row of archers stretched their arms, letting the long arrows shoot out through the air.

However, those arrows couldn't fly that far at all, and because the airflow of the shells was disturbed by the direction of the ground, they rolled to the ground like sparrows with broken wings.

"Let the arrows—let's shoot again!"

"Hey——Da Vinci! You brought people to test firearms in this kind of place again!" Luris had just finished counting the number of people in the third battalion, and when she heard the noise, she hurried back to the front battalion and shouted: "No Did I tell you to go to the side? You will pay for the bombing and burning of the tent?!"

Heidi pointed to the crumbling city wall, her eyes were quite sympathetic: "We seem to be able to tell the fourth battalion that they don't need to help set up tents."

"What?!" Luris suddenly turned her head to look at the city wall. At this moment, a piece of the long high wall suddenly collapsed, and immediately began to sink into an obvious gap.

Many guards had no time to escape, and fell under the landslide like ants, and were then crushed tightly by bricks and stones.

At the same time as this happened, more defenders began to flee, ignoring the general's angry curses at all.

"Or... let's go straight to the city." Da Vinci gave a sincere enough smile: "I feel that this battle is over."

He was really just asking the soldiers to align the sights, and the good ammunition in stock hadn't even been loaded with fuses.

While talking, a bright color suddenly appeared on the distant city wall.

Someone raised his white robe high, declaring his surrender as if waving a flag.

——It has only been stationed for a day and a half, and I can't even see the city gate clearly, so the fight is over? !

"What a bunch of idiots." Fabio muttered, "Deserving to stay with coal forever."

-2-

La Spezia really surrendered.

They have nothing to do—even if they really open the city gate and let the cavalry go to fight, the situation will not be much better.

The cannon, who knows what kind of magic, can blast even the stones with the length of its arms into flour slag. Could it be possible that a human and a horse in the flesh can carry it? !

When someone waved the white flag on the city wall at the beginning, Heidi also told her own people not to act rashly, she was worried that there would be fraud.

So Luris personally fired two shots at the city gate, directly destroying most of the city wall.

The defenders over there were already panicking, as if they were afraid they would not see the white flag, they found all the white cloth and hung it directly on the edge of the city wall.

"Okay," Da Vinci was quite sympathetic: "If you blow it up again, it will all be broken, and then won't our people help repair it?"

When the leaders of the two armies met, the faces of many soldiers turned black.

Just such a white and thin girl - she looked like a young girl who was not married, and knocked down their city in just two or three blows? !

The bishops and leaders here also turned blue, but the mercenaries around Luris looked quite happy.

Although Heidi looked gentle and calm, she was unambiguous about things like the peace treaty.

She has suffered too much in her previous life, and she knows that kindness is not necessarily a good thing.

So all the lords and bishops handed over their powers, and also paid tribute to the map of the city of Genoa.

——The content on it is quite clear, even the small entrances and exits are clearly marked.

Heidi ordered her men to expel them all from the country, and ordered several other people surnamed Zino to go with Leonardo to recruit recruits.

There are tens of thousands of people in this city, and there are probably quite a few who want to get ahead.

She really needs to develop power-if some Genoese are not credible, arrange for them to build walls and open up wasteland for farmland.

The city will become an important port and energy supply area, which must not be taken lightly.

Surprisingly, as the old Mr. Fabio said, there are really several coal mines here, and the visual output is quite gratifying-oil is regarded as a haunted place by the devil and the springs are sealed, but it is also blocked. Everyone was found!

Coal, oil, ports—

It all came like a gift from heaven!

Heidi could hardly describe her mood in any words, and spent several nights reviewing documents until late at night.

People from the Jino family kept sending letters from both Lucca and Massa cities. Florence had just learned about Massa's news, and the letters they wrote were also delivered.

——During their northward journey, the French navy attacked the city of Pisa for the third and fourth times, but in the end they returned in defeat, and it is said that they have returned home.

Moreover, the Holy See and the Triangular Defense Alliance have also signed a treaty, guaranteeing the right of way and certain assistance when war breaks out.

The news of another Medici lord leading his troops to the north has not yet spread. The clever allies hid the news so well that no one even knew about the city of Milan on the other side of the mountain.

Heidi was a little tired from reviewing the documents, so she turned off the lights and took a rest.

She misses bright incandescent lights.

The candle is always a little unstable, and the eyes will swell after reading the file for a long time.

But when the lights went out, she noticed that there seemed to be some faint lights in the distance.

De Qiao just went downstairs to fetch water, who else is here nearby?

In her memory, this side room was small and stuffy, and no friends wanted to live here.

Heidi lightened her steps and approached the door slowly.

The light really came from the side room, and there was a familiar figure working at the desk.

De Qiao just came over with boiled water and was about to say hello when he saw the lord making a silent gesture.

They returned to the room, and Heidi lit the candle again: "Who is there?"

"It's Mr. Leonardo." Dejo helped her pack up the letters and documents that had been answered, and said unhurriedly: "These days the city is still sorting out matters related to the Genoese, and that gentleman is worried that there are assassins lurking Come here to hurt you, so I stay here every night."

"Aren't there four guards?"

"He adjusted their arrangement and position, and also arranged a rotation system." Dejo corrected: "So, there are a total of eight guards who are taking turns to guard your safety."

"Does Leo stay here every night?"

"Every night."

Heidi was stunned for a few seconds, and motioned for her to step back first.

She has been working late into the night for the past few days, and then went to another room of China Unicom to wash and rest, and did not notice these things at all.

Over the years, she has already gotten used to undertaking and coping with many affairs alone, completely giving up the imagination of relying on the blessing of others to escape everything.

Even if she lives in the palace of Ducale, which seems to be comprehensive in every way, she always has a sharp dagger under her pillow.

But Leonardo...

He really was there all the time.

No matter where she is going, Milan, Florence, or Genoa, he will accompany her without hesitation, just like that vow.

"——I will be your permanent assistant."

Those amber eyes contained ten years of enthusiasm and concentration.

After careful calculation, she also knew him for eight years.

These eight years are but a snap of the fingers, riots, assassinations, carnivals, wars——

So many things happen and die, but he's always here.

Never give up, like a devout believer.

Heidi took a deep breath, got up and walked over.

The man was reading a book with his head down, and he was still taking notes in one hand.

He subconsciously turned his head when he heard footsteps, and saw Heidi leaning against the door and looking at him.

The orange-red candlelight reflected her dark blue eyes, and even her expression was complicated and gentle.

"I'm just sitting here and reading for a while," Leonardo stood up and said in a low voice, "It's all safe outside, I've checked."

She stared at him blankly, took a deep breath, but never answered a word.

The hasty and embarrassing marriages in the previous life flashed before her eyes, and all the love and hate were like bubbles.

"Why don't you talk anymore... Are you angry with me?" He stood in front of her, but he didn't know how to comfort her: "Heidi, maybe I should explain..."

Heidi stood in front of him, feeling that even the tip of her nose was sore.

Along the way, she has been burdened with too much fear and embarrassment.

The countless malice and ridicule from the previous life are like shadows, which will be repeated in the dream.

The old face, the works that have been discussed, and every old love that is duplicity...

Is it possible to finally let go of all this?

At least, Leo is different from all of them, right?

He is so pure, even though he has witnessed so much ugliness and bloodshed over the years, he still retains his innocence towards this world.

He is not anyone who has slandered, speculated, insulted her, and has been by her side from the beginning to the end, his palms are as warm as his eyes, making people want to cry.

Even if she returns to her gray-haired appearance in the future, Leo probably won't back down a bit.

To her, trust is more precious than love.

"Why are you about to cry..." Leonardo sighed, and raised his hand to caress the side of her eyes.

They were so close at the moment, he could even see the tears in her eyes that she was trying to hold back.

The next second, he bowed his head and kissed her.

The kiss was eight years late.

If he could, Leonardo would have even just gone back to the time when he first met her, and found her even when she was a little girl.

Every day he meets her is such a joy, all his talents and ambitions are no longer blown away by the wind, and the most secret feelings in his heart will be tolerated and warmed.

Thinking of her, even if he was so tired that he couldn't open his eyes, he couldn't bear to fall into a deep sleep.

This kiss was warm and slow, even the movements of touching and leaving were so gentle and careful.

Da Vinci did this almost instinctively, and the second he actually kissed her, he had already started thinking about what kind of wedding dress he should design for her, or which city to hold a grand celebration in.

Heidi...his Heidi...his lord...

He hoped that time and life would stop at the moment of kissing her, and he didn't want to leave her at all.

"I'm sorry," he realized that she had shed a line of tears, and wanted to wipe them away in a panic: "Did I offend you..."

Cold tears rolled down his palm, like another light kiss.

"No." She said hoarsely.

Leonardo didn't know what to do after the kiss, and was afraid of offending her.

He wanted to hold her in his arms, hold her hand tightly, or apologize again, and kiss her rose-soft lips.

"...I love you." He said dryly.

Heidi raised her eyes and suddenly laughed.

"I know." She reached out and hugged him tightly, buried her face in his arms, and delivered the last bit of burden and exhaustion.

"Leo..." she murmured, "I can't leave you anymore."

She had a natural avoidance and resistance to feelings, but she still fell into his arms after all.

Every time she smells the light aroma of figs, she can completely relax, as if she has returned to the safest place.

Leonardo stroked her long hair with his hand and sighed softly.

"Can I... kiss you one more time?" he whispered.

Heidi raised her hand to hold his chin, and tiptoed to kiss him again.

They exchange breath and temperature at the same time, and even the touch of fingertips and cheeks is like delicate lingering.

When he hugged her tightly, he felt that his heart was so light that he could spread his wings and fly out.

When do you propose?After the war?Will she accept herself?Or wait a little longer?

Can I kiss again?

Without waiting for him to speak again, she sighed and wrapped his neck tightly around his neck, and gave him another long kiss.

The east wind blew past in the long night, making the candles flicker like golden red fish tails.
