The Eagle of Eastern Europe

Karl, the leader of the Knights, looked at the map to see where the next target was, because if the Knights wanted to grow, they would not only need a castle, but also need more land to feed the army.

However, before setting off for the expedition, Peter summoned him and promised him that if he could reach Edessa, he would allow him to establish an independent country in Azerbaijan, just like the Teutonic Knights.

Such a temptation made him excited. Although he could only be a vassal, he could at least get a large area of ​​land to support soldiers and churches. The destination is a bit far away, next to Georgia.

Although the Knights still mainly use cold weapons, so do their opponents, the nomads. In terms of cavalry, they will not lose to the opponent, but they have to be more flexible. Nomads like sports warfare the most.

After Wallachia conquered Cyprus, the next targets were the Levant and Cilicia. The local Armenians and Orthodox Christians welcomed Wallachia to liberate them, but they still had to wait and take Nicaea first.

----Dividing line----

Peter had only been working for a short time when a guard hurriedly broke into his office.

Before he could ask, the guard spoke. "The Crown Princess was feeling unwell just now. The doctor has checked that the Crown Princess is about to give birth."

The guard's words made Peter distracted from his work, and he asked nervously. "Where is my wife now?"

Faced with his inquiry, the guard replied. "It has been placed in the delivery room."

After hearing what the guard said, Peter quickly left his office and hurried to the delivery room. The delivery room had been prepared for Sophia's birth in a very well-located room with a view of the morning sun and the garden outside the window.

When Peter rushed outside the door of the delivery room, he heard his wife Sophia's painful cry. Her mother Maria also arrived at this time. When she saw Peter standing here, she said something to him. "I'll go in and take a look. Just wait here."

After saying that, the mother entered the delivery room, leaving Peter watching the medical staff coming in and out.

Peter waited anxiously outside the delivery room. His wife's shouts came from inside the delivery room, which made him restless and could only walk back and forth to relieve the pressure. After a while, Mrs. Maria came out, and Peter walked over and asked when he saw an arrow. "Mom, how is the situation inside?"

Seeing her anxious son, Maria spoke in the tone of someone who had experienced it. “How can it be so fast now? It takes at least two to three hours.

Hearing his mother's comfort reassured Peter that at least it was all good news for now. So he and his family waited peacefully at the door for his wife to give birth to the first third generation of the Bartland family in more than ten years.

They didn't wait long, Prime Minister Angel also came with many nobles. A group of people saw Peter outside the door, so they also waited quietly.

A group of people listened to Sophia's shouts inside and waited quietly for the birth of the child. But as if to keep everyone waiting, the child in her belly was reluctant to meet everyone. A group of people waited from early evening until the lights were on at night.

Near midnight, Sofia let out a heart-rending cry, followed by a baby crying, which made everyone standing outside the delivery room breathe a sigh of relief. In this day and age, childbirth is a hurdle for both mother and child, and Peter is waiting for the doctor to give him good news.

As expected, the people outside the delivery room were not kept waiting. The doctor came out and said to Peter within two minutes. "Congratulations to Your Highness, mother and son are safe.

Peter pushed aside the crowd of people congratulating him and strode into the delivery room. He saw his rejuvenated wife still lying on the bed. He walked over and wiped the sweat from his wife's forehead and spoke affectionately. "Thanks for your hard work"

Sofia, who was comforted by her husband, replied. "This is what I should do."

Mrs. Maria hugged her grandson and smiled from ear to ear. She sent someone to report the good news to her husband who was away on war.

The bells of Hagia Sophia rang, and the citizens knew that a new member of the royal family had been born. Everyone blessed the new-born child and prayed that the empire would be revived under the leadership of the Bartland family.

It was a rare occasion for Peter to spend time with his family instead of dealing with government affairs. However, such leisurely time did not last long. In less than a week, he had to pick up government affairs again and start handling them.

This time it was mainly news from the Ottomans. Suleiman gathered his troops to attack Ankara. The impatient prince finally began to unify the Ottomans. But can Wallachia let him succeed? Of course not.

According to reliable intelligence, Suleiman claimed that 30,000 troops were advancing, trying to annex the lands of other Ottoman princes in one fell swoop. But Muhammad's land was far away and would be out of reach for a while. Musa, which was adjacent to Suleiman, became his target.

Musa panicked and hurriedly sent people to ask Muhammad and other Turkic countries for help. But their reinforcements had to wait for time to arrive, but Suleiman's army had already moved on, and eventually he set his sights on Wallachia.

He sent envoys to Constantinople urgently, trying to persuade Wallachia to join the war. He also proposed that as long as they could help him solve this crisis, Nicaea and other western cities would be given to Wallachia as a thank-you gift.

This is really too generous. Bayezid and successive Ottoman sultans certainly would not have thought that their descendants would give the land they conquered to the infidels so easily.

"How could Suleiman have 30,000 troops?" Peter thought about this question, and Adrian gave the answer.

"I heard that except for Prusa, all the garrison troops from other cities have been mobilized. Some towns don't even have troops."

Good guy, this is going to burn out. It’s not that far yet, brother.

Peter thought that such scenes could only be found in movies and TV series, but it turns out that reality can also create such magic. In this case, don't miss this opportunity.

Peter wrote to Mircea again. In addition to the happy news of the birth of his grandson, he also included news of the death of the Ottoman prince Suleiman. Mircea controlled most of Wallachia's army if he wanted to march into Anatolia. , we must come back as soon as possible, and we don’t know what happened to them.

After writing the letter, pour wax on it and stamp it. They quickly sent it to the north, and also gave Musa some financial support, hoping that he would not disappear so soon. In addition, send a message to Constantine and ask him to lead the legion to be on standby at the border at any time. As soon as there is a message from above, rush over immediately.
