Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Vol 2 Chapter 41: Summit encounter

Cosenza is a granary in Naples, providing food for the whole of Naples. This was heard from Russa as early as the first day when he arrived in Cosenza, for which Alexander once lamented.

He sighed because he realized that when he suspected that the Neapolitan might be facing famine, he found out that this was not only what Modillo had expected, but that it was all likely to be contributed by Modillo.

Probably nothing is more grateful than saving a city from famine. Alexander can even imagine watching the aristocrats who spent a lot of time squandering food and eating all kinds of food and drink when they found that not only They have almost no food left for their luxurious banquets. Even ordinary civilians may face a panic when they are facing a crisis of hunger.

For the civilians in Naples, the French occupation is of course abhorrent, but if the return of the king brings them only to starvation, then whether it is the king himself or the entire royal family, it has been brewed by the memory and hope. Extremely revered, it will soon become a complaint or even annoyance.

Who can provide food for the people who are anxious because they are worried about starvation at this time, who can get the friendship, respect, and even worship of the Naples.

It was because of this that Alexander found Count Modillo really clever and admirable.

But now, the appearance of the Bohemians has completely changed all this.

Looking at the uneasiness on Ruosha's face, Alexander gradually realized that things were much more serious than they thought.

It didn't matter how the Bohemians came to Naples suddenly and who sent them.

The important thing is that if the Bohemian blockade cannot be ended, then the granaries on the Kosenza territory may be completely lost,

As long as he thought about the food in the granaries, Alexander felt that even Modillo himself would not be much better than a pale rosa in the face of such a change.

"We have to send people out!" Russa, who also figured out a lot of things, shouted anxiously. Although he may not have fully understood the upcoming crisis in Cosenza and Naples, Russa knew that the granaries had more knowledge about Corson What it means.

The largest hunting ground that it has is just an opportunity for the Cosenza family to rise. Although the family ancestors of the royal hunting officer won the title of nobility, it has already reached the peak.

The Cosenza family has been able to stand still for so many years even if the dynasty has changed, precisely because this is the place where a huge granary is guarded for Naples.

Passing through the northern foothills of Mount Vesuvius, between the Angri and Kradi rivers, there is another piece of farmland at the southern tip of the entire peninsula.

Among the two rivers with abundant water sources that breed year after year, this plain is wide in the north and narrow in the south, like a funnel set up on a plain. There are golden wheat fields everywhere.

The wheat fields continue to spread at the foot of the volcanic plain. This is almost a treasure for the coastal cities to provide food.

Whether it is Naples, Taranto or the maritime main road between the Taranto Sea and the Ionian Sea for the entire peninsula, ready to face Crotone inside the threat from the Ottoman Empire, these places have to rely on this The vast fields of land provide food for survival.

Because of this, all city-states in the South regard this plain as a guarantee for their cities. Since the city-states appeared many years ago, those lords have tried to control this coveted place.

However, after many years of battle, this land was never ruled by any single lord. After losing countless lives, this plain was divided into different forces, of which Naples got a very fertile piece near the upper Agrig River soil of.

The Cosenza family has become the guardian of this production treasure and the grain storage area established on the edge of the plain.

This is the real reason for the Cosenza family to continue.

It is conceivable that if intercepted in the castle and unable to communicate with the grain production area, once something unexpected happens there, it will mean to Naples and Cosenza.

"As for our knights, send out knights and cavalry, and there are enough other soldiers, as long as they can send out, we must drive those Bohemians away!"

Because of the panic, Zuosha shouted loudly. When she saw that Alexander did not follow her orders, but stood still, Zuosha turned around and left!

"Wait a minute," Alexander grabbed Russa's arm and pulled her back. "Don't get excited, you're going to do bad things like this."

"Let me go, I'm going to mobilize the guard," Russa shoved impatiently. "If you refuse to listen to my orders, I will find someone who is willing to listen to me."

"The Bohemians won't listen to you," Alexander still grasped Ruosha's arm tightly, feeling that her smooth arm was struggling tightly in his palm. He relaxed slightly, and then stared at the stunned horse beside him. Shimo made a look.

The monk immediately walked out of the room consciously and closed the door.

"Are you scared? Or you are not as brave as you said yourself," Ruosha looked at Alexander coldly. "If you only have this courage, then I advise you to go back to the monastery before you, you have everything Won't get it. "

Looking at Ruosha staring at him like a proud little beast, Alexander raised an inexplicable heat in his heart. For some reason, when he saw Ruosha, he couldn't help thinking of Sophia, and then he couldn't help comparing the two.

Now Ruosha's appearance made him feel that this lady of nobility was similar to Sophia, which made him feel in a trance.

But now is obviously not a time of delusion. When communicating the purpose of the Bohemians, Alexander's first reaction was to immediately send someone to break the blockade of the Bohemians, so he hurriedly went to find Lasa.

But when he saw Ruosha's anxious near-abnormal appearance, Alexander suddenly calmed down.

What better chance than letting the enemy lose judgment because of panic and then taking the opportunity to give a fatal blow?

Alexander does not think he is more wise and calm. He knows that if he is Ruosha or Keizer, as a member of the Cosenza family will also lose the ability to calmly judge because of anxiety, and may even compare They are more blind.

But it was because he was not a member of this family that Alexander could see all this clearly.

It was concluded that the Bohemians blocked the way to the castle. It is not difficult to see now. Even if it is unexpected for a time, as long as there is something wrong with the grain storage area, people will always be sent to Cosenza for help.

The Bohemians intercepted most of the messengers, but there will always be people who can reach the castle, and their purpose will be self-evident by then.

So what happens next?

There will still be panic like Zuosha because of the truth, and Cosenza will still send reinforcements to try to break the Bohemian blockade.

Since guessing this possibility, then the Bohemians are likely to be ready.

Perhaps when the reinforcements were sent, they had already fallen into the trap of the Bohemians.

Alexander suddenly felt that it was not wrong for Ordone to refuse to send troops, but it is no longer meaningful to mention this now.

"The Bohemians should think that we will always send people out," Alexander explained in a slow tone, and he slowly let go of Rosa's arm. "Listen, if you must send someone out, I won't object, But I hope you do n’t send all the guards, we want to prevent the bohemian traps. ”

"What trap can there be?" Ruosha asked stubbornly. "They don't have many people. Our castle can't be broken. We can guard the castle with very few people, and then we can send enough people to go." Support the Agley River wheat field. "

"Can you think of this, wouldn't the Bohemians or the people who hired them think of it?" Alexander tried to persuade Rusha, although he knew it was really difficult at this time. "Maybe they just waited for us to go out, Those outside may not be dangerous, but no one knows if they have arranged traps elsewhere. "

"The Cosenza people are not so good to deal with Kavinka as a dog. Even a group of mobs can't deal with them. The Cosenza family has been fighting since Roman times. The Bohemians only dare to hide behind the fence. If they face each other Can only run away unless ... "

Speaking of which, the look on Ruosha's face suddenly froze.

"unless?"

Alexander noticed the change in Ruosha's expression.

"Wait a minute, wait," Ruosha went back and forth in a daze. "Many years ago, the French hadn't conquered Sicily. Do you know when that was?"

Seeing Zuosha's questioning look, Alexander nodded. He knew that she was talking about the time when the Normans conquered the Sicilian kingdom. At that time, Sicily and Naples had not separated.

"It was then that the Cosenza family accepted the French censorship. The then Count Cosenza was ordered to take a tour of the land on the upper Agrig River. As a result, they were ambushed shortly after leaving, and the entire team was annihilated. The Earl also died in that battle, which was the most terrible thing in the Cosenza family. "

"Where is that?" Alexander asked in a low voice.

"Just east of Cosenza, where the terrain is very dangerous and if there is a trough, after going out is the Agri River Grain Storage Area, the original undergraduate Sencha family once thought about building a fortress there, but later because of the signing of the division Agreement on the Agrig Plain, so the fortress is not necessary. "

"Really," Alexander thought about Rusha's words. Although he wasn't sure yet, a voice in his heart told him that Rusha was right. If the Bohemian mercenaries really had any traps, it should be her That place "How far is it from the castle?"

"It's not very far, but the road is difficult to go," Ruosha frowned slightly. "I've been to that place before, when Keizer took me there. I don't like it."

"I have to go and see," Alexander nodded. "If you are right, the Bohemian ambush should be there."

"But how are you going?"

Hearing Zuo Sha's question, Alexander looked at her with strange eyes: "I remember you said that if you and Burelli fled, I wouldn't have been discovered by me, because there was another way to the castle. Isn't the secret road we can't find outside? "

There was a hint of hesitation in Ruosha's eyes. She seemed unsure whether she should tell Alexander about the secret of Kosenza Castle. After all, it was related to the safety of Kosenza's family.

But this hesitation was only a moment, and Ruosha made up her mind. Obviously, compared with the crisis that Kosensa Castle might face in the future, the troubles in front of her made her change her mind.

"There is a path leading from the back of the castle to the top of the mountain. This person, except the Cosenza family, has never been known to anyone else." Speaking of which, she looked at Alexander. "I will let Bereri go with you and he will take you Reach the mountain cliff cliff. "

Alexander nodded, he knew that the mountain eagle cliff should be the valley that Ruo Sha said.

Imagine that the ancestors of the Cosenza family as the masters of this territory have all collapsed in that place, and the whole army has been wiped out. Alexander has some impressions on the scene of this place.

Although he did not want to leave Ruosha, Burberry still promised to lead Alexander.

Alexander did not bring Mahimo, although the monk appropriately expressed a little indignation for this, but Alexander did not give him the opportunity to continue performing, but directly told Uliu to prepare.

No one knows what he will encounter this time out, so Alexander feels that the Moors are more reliable than monks.

The so-called secret road is not a dark room or tunnel, but a very narrow mountain gap deep in the castle close to the mountain wall.

The mountain gap is rugged and deep, and most places can't get sunshine all year round, and some are narrow, even if it is difficult for a person to pass through.

The slippery ground is covered with dark lush green moss, and it will fall at any time when walking on it.

"This secret path was discovered when the castle was built in the past, and some people knew at the beginning that only the people of the Cosenza family knew after a long time." Bereri who walked in front with a large package said and looked back Look at Alexander "I do n’t know if it ’s wrong for Miss to tell you this secret, but I hope you do n’t let her down."

Looking at Burleigh, who was taller than he was, but actually a few years younger than him, Alexander said seriously: "Luosha is your sister, but don't forget, she is also my sister."

Burley's thick lips moved as if he was patient, but in the end he said, "Miss Rusha is also the younger sister of Master Keizer, but he still wants her to marry the Earl of Taranto."

Alexander shook his head. He knew that Boberelli was not very fond of his sudden half-brother of Rausa, but of course he wouldn't care what the big man would think.

The mountain gap has been extending along the mountain to the top of the cliff, because the road is difficult to walk. When they finally saw the sunlight leaking through the gap in the mountain top, the light had turned into a rosy afterglow.

"It seems that we are going to spend the night on the mountain," said Berri, who finally stood on the top of the cliff through a narrow gap covered by trees and vines, and looked down at the mountain. It takes half a day. "

Looking back down the mountain, Alexander saw the top of the round top of the castle that was faintly visible. He knew that Berri was right. Downing the mountain late at night was undoubtedly a dangerous and stupid move.

"It's very windy at night."

Bereri said to Uliu to open the back package and take out what he needed for the night. Soon he set up a small tent that could cover the mountain wind at night.

Watching him work orderly, Alexander had a new impression of the big man's slight attentiveness.

In the mountains, I feel that the sun is setting fast, and as a shadow almost visible to the naked eye spreads up the slope, the night quickly envelopes the top of the mountain.

Lights were already lit in the castle under the mountain. Although it was known that the Bohemians would not easily attack the castle ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~, the Cosenza people did not dare to take it lightly.

"Adult," Burelli sat on the stone and looked at Alexander. "Are you really going to help the lady?"

"Just call me Alexandria," Alexander smiled slightly. "In fact, this is also helping me. Maybe you don't know how important Laosha is to me."

A strange light flashed in Burley's eyes. He stared at Alexander seriously for a while, then he nodded and said, "So you are willing to help the lady, because you also need to benefit from her."

"It should be so."

Alexander didn't deny Burelli's conjecture. He knew clearly that Burelli had a deep vigilance against him, and he even refused to believe what he said.

If he said that out of siblings' help to Rosa, Burelli would never believe it.

On the contrary, he admits frankly that he needs to benefit from Ruosha, but it makes the big man think that this is the only way to explain why he is willing to take risks for Ruosha.

Alexander thought of this and couldn't help but smile secretly. This Burley looks clumsy, but he still has a lot of thoughts.

He thought that he was about to speak and continue to speak, and Burelli who was sitting opposite suddenly stood up!

His muscular body showed extraordinary flexibility at this time. Just before Alexander had time to speak, he already held the mouth of Uliu in one hand, and raised his finger in the other with a mute to Alexander Gestures.

Alexander's heart suddenly jumped, and his eyes followed Burley's gaze to see the past, just to see a few figures in the shadow of the mountain walking slowly up the slope.

"Someone."

Bereri warned in a low voice and quickly picked up things.

Soon after three people hid in a boulder, several figures appeared on the top of the mountain.

"Nashan, is it really here?" A voice rang in the darkness.
