The Eagle of Eastern Europe

The Aegean Sea breeze blows on the faces of Venetians, and the flag of San Marco flutters on the pole.

Simone commanded all the naval forces that Venice could mobilize to carry out an extremely difficult operation. According to Venice's intelligence network, Constantinople now only has a small number of naval guards, and now it only needs a quick victory.

"It always feels like it won't go so smoothly!" Simeone said to himself.

"My lord, a Roman ship has been discovered."

Simone immediately cheered up, and now they came to the outside of the Aegean Sea. They were also attacked by some Roman armed merchant ships on the way, but the losses were minor. At present, this should be a larger fleet of the Roman navy.

"Sir, it looks like they are the main force of Rome's navy. They don't know what tactics they are using. Should we rush over?"

Years of naval career have shaped Simeone's cautious character. He also learned from the last confrontation with Roma. He felt that it was better to be cautious.

"Concentrate the entire fleet to break through the encirclement."

Simeone believed that a quick victory was necessary, so breaking through the siege and quickly heading to Constantinople was the most important thing. For the navy, they want to break through quickly, and then part of the fleet will circle around, and most of the fleet will quickly move towards the castle.

"They are indeed here." The Roman naval commander sighed. He faced the strongest navy in the Mediterranean for the first time, and he still felt unsure. But before leaving, Nikephorus gave him a message: Just treat the other person as if he were made of paper, and all fears are false.

"Get ready, fire!"

The navies cooperated with each other and launched a semi-encirclement of the Venetian navy. For a while, artillery roared, and some ships also carried small slings, lighting Greek fire and gunpowder barrels and throwing them at the Venetian navy.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Some of the burned sailors let out heart-rending roars, and the ships attacked by explosive barrels and artillery also suffered heavy losses. Seeing this, Simonyi ordered the ships to disperse to avoid the opponent's long-range firepower.

This time, because Venice brought a large number of ships, it quickly entered into a gang-hopping battle. The Roman navy resisted heroically, but gradually could not hold on. The commander ordered a retreat, and before leaving, he ignited all the gunpowder on some ships so that they could not take them away.

"We win, we win!"

The entire Venetian ship erupted in cheers as they all celebrated that their naval status had not been shaken. The Roman navy was vulnerable, but Simeone always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell.

He didn't want to think about this clueless problem and directly ordered to speed up to Constantinople.

While in Constantinople, Mircea had transferred the royal family to Adrianople. Together with the 30,000 defenders and 70,000 citizens in the city, he protects this city that the world longs for.

Mircea also searched for Venetian spies throughout the city, especially Galata, and directly shuffled the cards. All but a few covert ones were caught.

Mircea ordered the chains of the Golden Horn to be raised to prevent the Venetian navy from entering. The artillery and trebuchets on the city wall were ready, waiting for him to come and die.

News of the naval battle between the Venetian Navy and the Roman Navy in the Aegean Sea has reached the capital. The citizens were a little panicked, but gradually calmed down under the comfort of the city governor. The Patriarch even encouraged the citizens to defend the city. The entire city burst into unimaginable unity, and many people came from all over to prepare to join this defense battle.

----Dividing line----

The Roman army on their way to Venice was carrying out a brutal attack on Chiggio, and they were particularly vigorous because the commander agreed to allow them to plunder after the city was captured. Finally, with the cooperation of long-range troops, the city was successfully breached.

Roman soldiers began to plunder the city of 20,000 people, taking away all the good things and even the people. There were constant wailings in the city, and the fire was soaring into the sky, which could also be seen in the main city of Venice, which frightened the nobles and wealthy businessmen in the main city.

Peter smiled when he saw such a miserable situation. I don’t know what he is laughing at, maybe he is happy that the Doge of Venice is about to be hanged. But now, it is a problem to capture the main city of Venice in this way.

The city of Venice consists of 121 islands separated by canals and connected by bridges. The Venetian Lagoon is an enclosed bay located between the mouths of the Po and Piave rivers, and the city of Venice sits on the shallows of the Venetian Lagoon. The city is composed of 118 small islands, connected by 177 waterways, 401 bridges and connected by boats. This was a problem for Rome, which had a large army.

The only bridge was also destroyed by Venice. In this case, without spreading salt, the most important thing is to capture and plunder the entire North Italy.

Rome began to attack Verona, another important city in Venice, and later put pressure on Bologna and the Papal States. There was no grass growing wherever they passed, and Rome's slave market was expanded abruptly.

The three countries of Milan, Bologna, and Savoy were scared to death. Duke Gian of Milan had sent people to the Roman military camp for peace talks, as was Bologna. The Papal State asked Austria to cut off Rome's retreat, but Vienna refused.

The only reason is that we don’t have an army. They were all scrapped on the Hungarian battlefield and the Roman battlefield. The most important Ljubljana was also lost, and Austria became a completely landlocked country. Albrecht began to accumulate strength and prepared to unify the Habsburg family territory, so the relationship with his father-in-law was still good.

Sigismund felt a little more relaxed. His opponent, the Elector of the Palatinate, came back in despair. His army suffered heavy losses and he completely lost the elector's trust in him. In this way, as long as Jobs If Te is gone, he is Shinra's only candidate.

The speed of Rome's rise really shocked him. Wallachia, which was a Balkan hegemon a few years ago, suddenly became a major European power. And none of them failed, which made Sigismund feel that the future would be difficult. How to deal with relations with Constantinople is a required course for him.

Aragon has been locked in a fight with Naples these days, fighting around Sicily. No one on either side took advantage, so Laszlo could only make some efforts from the Apennine direction. Martin used his own navy to harass in an attempt to cut off Naples' trade, but it seemed to have little effect.

The most unbearable thing for him was that the Orthodox Church in Sicily threatened his rule, and the local citizens revolted against the ruling nobles. Demanding that their beliefs be legal, Martin sent troops to suppress them. As a result, local mines were detonated and riots began.

The Reconquista in Iberia was left to the Kingdom of Castile, while other armies maintained their rule in Sicily and Sardinia and recaptured Naples.
