The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"That's enough." Zelin took the design drawing, which was painted with many lines and symbols that he couldn't understand. Maybe he can find someone who can understand the design, but in any case, it is better to have this drawing than when he sees the craftsmen in the future, he describes what he saw and heard to them out of thin air.

"Are you going to leave Rome?"

"Yes, my destination is not Rome, and it's time to leave." Zelin put the design together with the purse. He bought a new travel bag in the city to replace the damaged one in Monteriggioni. "I will leave tomorrow afternoon." The opening time of the portal may not be so precise. It may be thirty days or thirty-one days, but anyway, he had better prepare in advance.

"Tomorrow afternoon, um, if you want to leave, you'd better leave early." Ezio shook his head. "The army of the Porgia family is gathering on the outskirts of the city. Pius III is not someone who obeyed Caesar's orders. Caesar is likely to launch directly from the north gate. Attack." The assassin was silent for a while. "In general, few people need a cannon, unless his hometown is threatened by a cannon. Can you tell me where your hometown is?"

The demon hunter closed his eyes, and finally, he shook his head "Sorry."

"Okay." Ezio patted Zelin on the shoulder. "I still want to thank you for your help to the Brotherhood in the past two months. Maybe the Brotherhood is still rebuilding, we may not find many people, but if you need help If you do, I will help you."

After all, the assassin stood up, and the mercenaries of Bartolomeo and the thieves of La Borpe were ready for battle. Next, all conspiracies will appear pale and feeble, and the battle will determine whether the final victory belongs to the Brotherhood of Assassins or the Pokia family. To defeat the Pokia family, the Brotherhood needs Ezio's leadership.

PS: Yesterday the network crashed. This is to make up for yesterday.

PS2: Regarding the timeline, Columbus discovered the New World in 1493, and the Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood was close to 1500. They have no problem talking about the New World.

Chapter 201 takes a turn for the worse!

"Italy must be unified! Under my leadership! Under the banner of the Poggia family!"

This morning, any citizen living near the north gate of Rome, no matter how slow or unable to tell the difference between a wild dog and a coyote, as long as he has a pair of eyes that can see the situation clearly, he will know that there will be If something terrible happens, if you don’t lose your life inexplicably, it’s better to stay at home.

Caesar Pokia. Riding a pale war horse, his appearance made many people in Rome tensed. Although he is not as good as his father, the cunning Pope Rodriguez, or Alexander VI, he and the large number of people behind him The private guard made no one belittle his power.

"In the name of Poggia! Italy will choose to surrender! They will tremble in front of our horses!"

Behind Caesar's white horse is a team of officers dressed in the uniforms of the Pokia family. They are numerous, seven hundred, maybe eight hundred. It is difficult to judge their number with the naked eye, because they did not choose to separate teams, but everyone stood in a square formation. Maybe there will be more than a thousand people. The equipment of these soldiers is shiny and shiny. It can be seen that Caesar has invested a lot of gold in them. This can also explain why the salaries of ordinary soldiers who served for the Pogia family have dropped sharply. The banker who assassinated Caesar in Ezio Later, he left the remaining gold in the private army.

In other words, this is not for the Pokia family, but an army for Caesar.

"God bless, thanks to Ezio destroying the tools of war in Caesar's hands, otherwise they will have more." Da Vinci shivered. The city is not safe. After the emergence of the transitional pope, the struggle in the parliament has become more intense, and the Brotherhood has already met with Caesar. It is secretly serving for the Brotherhood, but it is clearly designed for the Bogia family. For weapons artists, leaving the city temporarily is the best way.

"Caesar has a good army." Zelin was riding a horse at the fair outside Rome. It happened to be a high **** where you could see the flag of the Pochia family outside the north gate. Compared with the last time the demon hunter passed by here, the market has begun to gradually recover its prosperity at this time. The Porgia family’s attention is almost entirely in the town, but if the Brotherhood fails, this prosperity will not last long. "But if he wants to rely on this army to capture Rome, such a huge city, I’m afraid Not enough strength."

"No, you haven't been to Rome before, don't know here." Da Vinci shivered. "The cardinals don't have any positions. If they do, they are only in their own interests. Now the Brotherhood The power in the city has overwhelmed the Pokia family. The Pope’s Guard and the City Guard will choose to be neutral. Perhaps Cardinal Luo Weilei’s church will try to send some guards to help Ezio.” The artist held his bag tightly, it was him from The protective design brought out from the studio "But if the Brotherhood fails here, they will immediately climb in front of Caesar, kiss his riding boots, and praise how handsome his pussed face is."

"It sounds disgusting."

"Always."

The Demon Hunter should have left, but he was still unwilling to leave with worry like Yanan.

At the gate of the city, Ezio and his companions, La Borpe, Bartolomeo, and Machiavelli, stood condescendingly looking at Caesar's army. The city's defenders, composed of assassins, mercenaries, and a few papal guards, have assembled in the square in front of the city gate. This is almost all the strength of the Brotherhood in Rome. Their number is not less than that of the soldiers of the Poggia family, but no one can be sure which side will win the result of this battle.

Caesar turned his horse's head and walked forward to the city. The flag bearer behind him followed him with a flag embroidered with Caesar's personal emblem. He kept cautiously out of the range of crossbow arrows and bullets.

"You are here! Are you here to celebrate the triumph for me?!" He shouted at Ezio and the members of the Brotherhood at the city gate, "Tell you! This is not all the power! Soon, Micheletto will Bring more troops to Rome to join me! But you will not survive that time, because today, you will die here! My soldiers will devour you!"

Ezio raised his hand, but hadn't put it down yet.

"My people will not live up to my expectations!" Caesar continued to yell, and the soldiers behind him did make him qualified to yell like that, "They know what to face, assassins! But you won't do anything anymore. People bring fear, and you will leave this world right away, and I!" Speeches and shouts waste a lot of Caesar's physical strength. He had to pause before he could continue to say "The return of rule will be ushered in!"

"Caesar is right. He is delaying time." Da Vinci bent down on horseback, and more nervously guaranteed the drawing package on his chest. Here."

"Moreover, there are Caesar's supporters hidden in Rome."

"Yes. As long as the Brotherhood shows any signs of decline, the cardinals in the council will mobilize all the power they can use and rush to take a bite."

"Damn it, I don't think they will lose." Zelin shook his head.

"I don't want it either."

As Leonardo knew, Ezio's Brotherhood and the soldiers of the Pokia family were not the only ones near the North Gate. There are also people who wear ordinary clothes, but who are obviously not like Roman residents. They stare at the city gates, watching the brotherhood in the city and the soldiers of the Pochia family outside the city. There are also some people, they are running back and forth, but the destination is very mysterious. Castel Sant’Angelo, the envoys of the emperor and kings in Rome, and the mansion of the cardinals, or some cardinals, are the end of these people.

"We must let more guards help them to defend Rome!" Cardinal Della Luoweire of the Church of St. Peter's Shackles was furious. He and his followers have been working hard to get more city guards and Pope Guards to join Aiji. Austrian. As we all know, when Pope Rodriguez was still alive, Bishop Luo Weilei was the deadly enemy of the Pogia family. There is no doubt that if Ezio can win, then after the death of Pius III, he is very likely to become the new pope.

"We should remain neutral, we should not intervene in it." The cardinal of Rouen, one of his bishops who publicly sided with the Pokiah family, at least for now, the French are still allies of the Pokiah family. "Moreover, they Caesar is the standard-bearer of justice who was proclaimed by Pope Alexander. To help us should also help Caesar."

Regardless of their arguments, the situation at the city gate is taking a turn for the worse.

"Come with me! I will take back the city of Rome for everyone!" Caesar yelled, and Ezio at the city gate finally shook his fist. Bartolomeo pulled out Bianca and faced the hired person in front of the gate. The soldiers ordered.

"Open the gates!"

Chapter 202 The Value of Loyalty

"The number of assassins in the Brotherhood is still too small."

The assassins recruited by Ezio are well-trained, but they are still too few. In just two months, Ezio can train how many citizens who are proficient in fighting skills and know how to use the Hidden Arrow to fight with the scimitar. Bartolomeo has a large number of mercenaries, and their combat effectiveness is strong. Relying on these mercenaries as their main force, the Brotherhood will not be at a disadvantage for the time being.

After all, it is an assassin, how can an assassin rush into the enemy's formation with a chopping axe like a warrior.

Zelin didn't say anything, he just stopped immediately on the high slope. Looking at the battle in the distance.

"Of course, I must support Your Excellency Caesar." Cardinal George Amboise of Rouen stared at the gold of the Poggia family in his room. "I will persuade more people in the parliament to support me and send a guard. Help Your Excellency Caesar, and search for anyone related to Ezio."

Gold, everyone likes these shiny things. It can do many things that were otherwise impossible, such as buying a bishop's position, or indulgences. Anyone is eligible for the right to atonement, as long as they can purchase enough indulgences. Of course, Amboise is a cardinal and wants to consolidate his position without the support of gold.

"But you have to understand that now the situation in Rome has changed, and the capital of the Poggia family is not as easy to use as before." The cardinal's reason is very real, at least he did not lie. "And Della Rovere is too in the way, I There is no way to persuade others so easily." Most of Amboise's funding source is provided by the Pokiah family. Even if he is a cardinal, he has to lower his head to the Pokiah family's envoy.

The battle at the gate of the city became more and more fierce, and the Brotherhood had to defeat Caesar's army in one fell swoop, and it was difficult for them to drag on. And Caesar, he desperately wants to defeat the Brotherhood in front of everyone. Only in this way can everyone re-recognize the authority of the Pokiah family. In Parliament, Cardinal Amboise continued to speak for Caesar.

"We must support Caesar, that's the right thing. God bless us."

Amboise kept repeating the same words in Parliament.

After the death of Pope Rodrigue, or Alexander VI, few people in the parliament could directly oppose Della Rovere's opinions. But as long as Caesar is still there, and Caesar's gold and army are still there, the bishops will not ignore the orders of the Pokia family. As long as the soldiers and capital of the Pokya family are still there, Bishop Amboise can continue to rely on this backer.

Pius III is a devout monk who is full of poetry and books. He does not belong to any party, so he can be accepted by any party. But there is no doubt that he will not make any effective orders. In fact, his physical condition is deteriorating. Under the pressure of the Pope's crown, Pius III can not be too much to use half of his body into the earth. If Amboise can endorse the Pokiah family and win a triple crown for France, then his position in the cardinal will be difficult to shake.

He is a loyal bishop, loyal to Caesar who provided him with gold, and loyal to his native France. Of course it's not just gold, he is a loyal man, as he is.

The battle was fierce. Bartolomeo’s mercenaries rushed into the front of the Pogia family desperately, while Ezio’s assassins searched for targets on the battlefield and killed those Pogia family officers. In the beginning, Caesar's army did relied on the superiority in number and equipment to take part in the upper hand, but as time passed, it was Caesar's soldiers that began to waver.

"Kill me all the assassins! In the name of Pokia!"

There are fewer and fewer voices in response to Caesar, his gold can bring many supporters, as always. But when the advantage is no longer so obvious, or when it starts to be at a disadvantage, it is difficult for gold to make people forget the safety of their lives. Many assassins and mercenaries died in this battle, but there were more bodies of Pokiah soldiers on the ground. Even Ezio would inevitably get a knife on him. Fortunately, armor does most of his damage at the moment.

"Come here! Protect me! Kill all those who dare to be an enemy of the Pokia family!" Caesar tightened the reins and tried to control the frightened horse. The halter tightened the horse's mouth fiercely, and the violent movement made the horse suddenly tilt up. I got up and turned around in a circle. But it is a pity that once the soldiers of the Pokya family appear to be declining, the wave of collapse becomes uncontrollable.

"Surrender! Caesar, they only come to fight for you to make money." Ezio's white robe was stained with blood, and there were many corpses lying beside him. "They have no loyalty, Caesar! Money can never buy. Loyal!"

"Victory belongs to me! Victory belongs to the Pokiah family!" Caesar screamed hysterically. "My supporters, they are still there! You will never win!"

"Rome is no longer your city! Caesar, you are no longer a general. People support you except fear, but covet your gold. Now your power is not there, no one will help you."

"No, they will support me!" Caesar suddenly looked at the other side of the city gate. The soldiers around him almost disappeared. Of course, the Brotherhood did not have the strength to kill them all, maybe two or three hundred of them, but the rest of them dropped their weapons almost at the moment when the ruin appeared, and escaped without a trace.

But at this moment, on the other side of the city gate, just where Caesar could see, six knights in black armor rushed out, followed by hundreds of guards holding the pope's pennant. This is the Papal Guard from the Vatican, and the leader who leads them is an elegant bishop. Ezio knew him, and Caesar knew him as well. This was the cardinal George Amboise from Rouen.
