Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Vol 5 Chapter 38: Prophecy about Zagreb

Alijoe Castle is located at the northern end of the Zagreb metropolitan area. This castle is not only famous for its age, but more importantly, it is one of the two most important parts of Zagreb.

Zagreb was originally composed of two large castles, of which Alijoe guarded the main roads of the north of the city, while the south, separated by a large forest, consisted of another castle called Vachish and nearby towns.

These two castles formed the pattern of the Zagreb metropolitan area, and in the early centuries, the King of Bosnia formed the current Zagreb by merging the two castles.

Al Hoe Castle hosts nearly half of the city ’s army. In addition to guarding against the threat from Caniola in the north, it is more used as a reserve army in the city, always monitoring hostility from Bosnia.

Although the Kingdom of Bosnia has conquered Croatia early, this does not mean that Croatia does not want to get rid of this rule.

Just as Northern Bosnia could not tolerate Ottoman rule, Croatians have never given up on their struggle for freedom under Bosnian rule for more than 100 years.

The Osmans who intend to completely conquer the Balkans, the Bosniacs dreaming of restoring the kingdom, and the Croats who are constantly striving to be free Thousands.

Because of the high terrain, the Aljoe Castle is the first place in Zagreb that can be bathed in sunlight, and the first spire of the castle is ushered in the first rays of sunlight.

The bell sounded as the sun fell on the spire, and then echoed slowly as a light spread downward, and the bells again and again spread from the castle to the street city outside the city. Precisely, Zagreb City slowly recovered from a deep sleep.

Several shepherds drove the flock to the outside of the city. They had to graze far away, not only because the grass there was more delicious, but the important thing was that the forest near the castle had already been noble by Zagreb. We take possession of ourselves, which forces farmers to graze farther away.

The reason for this is that after the city formed by two castles into a big city, the forest between the castles was connected through several roads, and then more and more buildings began to be built in the forest. People obviously do n’t know what it means to protect natural resources. They only see those forests as an obstacle to their expansion of the city, so a large number of trees are cut down and replaced by these trees and the local unique gray stone. A rising house and a long wall connecting the two castles from the outer ends.

There are fewer and fewer places where sheep can be allowed, and farmers can only rush their sheep to farther places, even those places where it is not safe to go deep into the forest.

The shepherds drove the flocks along the rugged forest road. In addition to a long whip to drive the flocks, they also hung a thick wooden stick on their belts. This was to deal with the wolves and Robber's.

Even the shepherds who have little money will not be safe once they stay away from the crowd, especially in the forest, no one knows whether a group of robbers will suddenly jump out of a tree.

At least today's shepherds feel that their previous good luck is over.

When she saw a lush grassland that was rare in this season, the shepherd hurriedly hurriedly drove the flock to the hillside far away from the forest.

But when they had just reached halfway, they suddenly saw a small group of horsemen running towards the grass they were looking at, and those people were still occupying the grass in front of them.

This made several shepherds very unhappy, but he also knew that they should not be provoked. Those who saw the shining of their armor from a distance could know that they were not ordinary travelers.

The shepherd could not help but slow down, but the flock of sheep who had been hungry all night was attracted by the grass. Under the guidance of the stubborn head sheep, a large number of flocks hurriedly climbed up the hillside while yelling.

This obviously terrified the shepherds. They waved their whips in their hands and squeezed through the flock to stop the head sheep, but because they could not catch up for a time, they could only watch the head sheep finally rush to the grass. There was a cheerful bleating sound after going on.

The war horses of those people seemed to be startled by these suddenly appearing flocks. They screamed and grumpy. They simply lifted their hoofs and kicked the flock that had crowded to their feet.

For a while, the horses and sheep mixed together on the grass and kept calling for a good time.

The shepherd looked at those people in panic, because he did not know where they came from, so he was even more worried.

The local nobles are very cruel, or they still retain the traces of the barbaric era. For the farmers, the landlords and knights are the masters of this land, and the higher nobles determine their destiny.

A cheerful horse hissing came. A warhorse that was much stronger than other horses lifted a huge hoof against a head sheep. Under the unyielding insistence of the head sheep with only curved horns, that horse The horse stepped down hard.

The shepherd exclaimed that the head sheep was more important to them than any other sheep, because with it the flock could only be better. Because of the role of this sheep, even though the lamb has changed Several generations, but the shepherd has been reluctant to replace it.

"Passos!" A young man in a travel gown shouted. He stretched out his hand and held tightly the reins of the warhorse that seemed to be standing up at any time. After a few hard pulls, the warhorse seemed unwilling. Putting down his hoof and twisting his head at the man's shoulder, it seemed to be rubbed a few times.

The shepherd leaned over in the past and grabbed the head sheep who still challenged the enemies in front of him with the horns. Seeing that the horse seemed to be agitated because of this provocation, the shepherd hurriedly pressed the head sheep's head.

"This is really a stubborn sheep," the young man looked at the sheep funny. He had heard that many rams have a temper that would never admit defeat. Now it seems that he thinks these sheep are quite similar to the locals. character.

Stubborn, stubborn, and advancing.

"Please forgive my lord, we are just leaving." The shepherd said hurriedly, he didn't notice the young man's daze when he heard his local language with a peculiar accent, so when he was about to drive the flock away from this It was only when the grass almost caused him trouble that he realized that he was surrounded by the knights.

"Let him come in front of me." Alexander sat on a stone while feeding the grass shredded with a dagger to Pagasos to appease its emotions, while commanding his men.

The shepherd came to Alexander anxiously, and he bowed awkwardly, then carefully looked at the young man who was clearly the leader.

He doesn't look like an aristocrat, because his clothes are not luxurious, although his travel robes look a bit worn out, and the hem even pulls a few mouths.

The shepherd also noticed his boots, which obviously had gone a long way, and the corners of the boots had already worn off the rough edges.

But he did not dare to have any rude behavior, because the soldiers holding them looked fierce. Although they were like the mountain people in the southern mountains, the weapons in their hands were really terrible.

Pannon pushed the shepherd to Alexandria. He was not very respectful of the people in the city. He felt that these people were too timid, or that the people who surrounded him in the castle were like he was locked in before. The prey in the cage.

"How far is it from here to Zagreb?" Alexander asked, knowing that he had entered the domain of the Duke of Zagreb since yesterday, but he didn't know how far away Zagreb was.

"Master, do you mean Alijoe Castle, or right bank castle?" The shepherd asked, and after seeing the translation of Alexander in doubt, the shepherd said carefully, "If you are going to ask Alijoe Castle , Then you are already here. If you stand higher, you can see the tallest tower, but if you want to go to the right bank castle, it will take half a day. "

"I know the Church of Alijoe, where the Duke of Sighnaci in Zagreb once converted."

"May God bless the Duke, he was killed by that man."

The shepherd used to cross his chest, and then there was a trace of fear in his eyes.

Looking at the horrified look on the shepherd's face, Alexander chuckled.

He didn't know or think of the former Duke of Zagreb after seeing the Viscount Hilva again, but he knew the Duke long before.

He also knew that the duke was indeed regarded as a saint by the Holy See. Even because of this, the East and West Churches rarely encountered a fierce conflict under the current threat of the Ottoman enemy.

It was just that he never thought he would coincidentally know the son of the duke, and he is now helping this desolate noble known for his sparse talents to regain his territory.

Viscount Hilva, Norian Signacci has historically been a complete loser because of his inability.

When his father was murdered, the Viscount and a group of loyal followers who followed him were forced into exile, and then in the following decades the Viscount has been running around, trying to contact those who still loyal to his father. And then retake the Duke ’s throne.

It ’s just that the Viscount ’s fate is too bad, or his luck is too bad. Many times he failed when he was about to succeed. Although his spirit of perseverance is indeed commendable, it ca n’t hide his unwillingness. The failure to stop was bleak.

Gradually those who had originally followed him were disappointed with him, and people left him one after another, and the Viscount himself eventually became ill in a camp in the deep mountain forest of the Balkans because of his desperation.

Now think about it, Alexander feels that the fate of Viscount Hilva seems to have changed in the opposite way. He did not fall into the mountain camp when he finally lost his way, but did not go out of the camp from the beginning.

On the contrary, it was because of his appearance that the Viscount who had never had the courage to take the first step took the first step.

Now seeing the shepherd's appearance, Alexander couldn't help but have some interest.

He waved to the people around him so that they would not surround the shepherd, who was already terrified, and then motioned the man to sit down on the stone opposite him.

"You sympathize with the Duke of Sighnaci?"

"I just think that the Duke was good before his life. He was very good to our poor." The shepherd said in horror.

"You said 'May God bless the Duke', and also said 'those people'," Alexander whispered in the ear of the shepherd. "Tell me are you a Catholic, right? Or at least a person who insists on himself despite being forced to convert Are they Catholics? "

The shepherd's face was already pale. His hand holding the whip could not stop shaking, and the other hand was quietly touched to his waist until he was grabbed from the side, followed by a cry of "ah", The whole arm was twisted to the back.

"Master, he should have cut his throat now." Pannoni said, looking at Busaco on the other side, speaking of the fact that Alexander had revealed that he might recruit Balkans to become hunting guards that day. There have been some contradictions with Busako.

"I didn't let you follow me to cut my throat casually." Alexander had a headache.

The Balkans are good, but sometimes the brutality is a bit too much. Many of their methods are more similar to the Ottomans. In fact, they are indeed greatly affected by the Ottomans, and this influence will become more and more profound after many years. .

"I have faith, I believe in the Lord," the shepherd shuddered, his voice trembling because of fear, but still whispered in an intermittent voice, "I believe in the Lord because of the Father, and Without being born, I believe in the Trinity, one Father, one Son, one Holy Spirit ... "

"This is a Catholic," Alexander stood up slowly. He looked at Busaco next to him. "Let's see that we haven't entered the city yet. Just meet a person who is a Catholic. Then tell me Busaco. How many Catholics are there in Zagreb? "

"But even then they killed the Duke of Sighnaci," Busaco's face looked disapproving. "Maybe there are indeed many Catholics in the city, but the Orthodox people control the city."

"Maybe so, but do Busaco know how I got the pizza?" Alexander asked in a low voice.

Alexander's problem made the captain of the hunting guard a bit darkened ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ But he still wanted to stick to it.

"You are your daughter, and the esteemed Miss Estelles became the Regent of Pisa after she became the Duke of Pisa."

"Wrong Busako," Alexander walked slowly down the grassy **** around the captain's shoulders. "I took Lukreziya into Pisa by myself, and then took advantage of their local riots. Owns pizza. "

Listening to the grandfather's bragging story about how he kidnapped other people's daughters and widows and seized the city, Busaco already knew what would happen next.

Sure enough, with a whistle coming out of Alexander's mouth, Pagasus quickly ran to his side, shaking his mane.

Alexander turned his horse. He looked around at the team of hunting guards and Balkan mountain people, and raised his hand in the direction of the city that could not be seen in the distance.

"Follow me into Zagreb, and believe that I am a city belonging to the Holy See, both in the past and the present, and I assure you that with our arrival, it will always be converted to the Vatican in the future."
