Gonzalo's subsequent movements were not beyond Alexander's expectations, or it was his only choice.

The naval dock located at the Atlantic Ocean estuary has been blocked and the roads at sea have been cut off.

In this situation, Gonzalo could only lead the remaining troops to retreat upstream along the Guadavile River.

The next day, the Castilian soldiers crossed the Corvones River.

Afterwards, after confirming that the Sicilians did not continue to pursue and themselves ensured that a line of defense was established on the east bank of the Kovones River was not attacked, Gonzalo led his troops to cross the Guadavile River on April 24 and retreated to Cordoba.

The Sicilian army entered the city of Seville on April 25.

Before this day, the Castile army, who was defending Seville, had abandoned the city.

A 300-man Castile left-behind force surrendered to the Sicilian army.

The Sevilla defenders would make this decision, in addition to the failure of Gonzalo, and their own obvious weak forces were not enough to resist the Sicilians, but also influenced by many people in the city of Sevilla.

Many nobles who had not had time to escape hoped that the defenders would not let Seville suffer the destruction of war, while a large group of merchants gathered on the exchange simply expressed their willingness to spend money to help the defenders buy peace from the Sicilians.

At the same time, the merchants also clearly stated that in order to save Sevilla from the war, they would not provide any help to the defenders.

On the contrary, some Seville civilians were excited and shouted that they would never allow Sicilians to enter this early capital. Many people asked the defenders to take up weapons and defend Seville with them, but in exchange for it, because of the loss brought by the Castellian army's withdrawal from Seville overnight.

Interestingly, when the negotiator of the left-behind troops came to the Sicily camp to request surrender, he proposed a condition that surprised the Sicilians, but it was reasonable to think about it carefully.

"The Sevilla defenders will only surrender to the Castiles, so unless the Duke of Roman Thesia who accepts our surrender, we will fight to the end."

This condition made many Sicilian officers sneer at it, but Ruosha happily accepted the condition.

"Don't worry, Seville will not be subject to any insults, and I promise that the first person to enter the city will be my brother, the flag and army of the Duke of Romanthesia, and I will respect all the nobles who remained in Seville."

Ruosha's promise finally made the negotiator secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Although the merchants had promised them before coming that the duke and sister would treat Seville mercifully, it was not until they heard the queen's personal promise that the representatives were finally relieved.

Then the negotiator found an opportunity to ask carefully about the Knights Don Decliar.

To the comfort of this servant who stayed at Gonzalo's order, Knight Don Decliar was not only alive, but fortunately almost unscathed.

Even when he saw the knight, the attendant saw that Knight Don Decliar was drinking with the Duke of Roman Thesia while fiercely arguing about something.

Seeing Gonzalo's servant, Knight Sandro Don Decliar was a little moved. He asked about Gonzalo's situation with great concern. When he heard that the Castile army had retreated across the Guadavile River, the knight even said to Alexander heartlessly: "Look, Duke, it seems that the battle between you and General Gonzalo is not over yet."

Alexander didn't care about the words that seemed to be provoking the Knight Don Decliar. He was actually more interested in the Knight himself.

The Knight Sandro Don Decliar is a teenager younger than Gonzalo, and he is now 35 years old and is still unknown.

But in another ten years, when Gonzalo dies, Sandro Don Decliar will become the most outstanding general in Spain.

Don Decliar was obviously a late-achieving man, or the monarch who could find his talent appeared a little late.

Even in Isabella's era, Don Decliar was not successful, but what was interesting was that the person who truly showed his talent was a person that no one expected.

Juana.

Juana's life can only be described as bad, especially for the rest of her life, she has been imprisoned by her father, husband, and son.

But during this period, when she enjoyed the short time of freedom, she discovered a talent like Sandro Don Decliar.

At that time, Don Decliar was nearly 50 years old. In the eyes of many people, he was an ordinary noble who was destined to have no achievements and spent his whole life in a mediocre way.

But Juana unexpectedly discovered his talents and used her only strength to help him gradually gain a foothold in the Spanish court.

Facts prove that Juana's vision is unique, and Don Decliar later became a famous general after Gonzalo.

By the time Charles V took power, he was already a key figure in the Spanish army.

It was also him who first proposed to adjust the proportion of hot and cold weapons in the Spanish phalanx, so that from then on, muskets were increasingly valued from auxiliary weapons until they finally dominated the Spanish army.

Such a person of course attracted Alexander.

More importantly, this person is a Castile nobleman, which is even more satisfying.

"We captured this battle," Alexander looked at a report at hand, which was the result of the Battle of Seville. "There are 422 Castilean soldiers, of which less than 300 are willing to continue to serve me, Cavaliers, I hope you can become their team officer."

Don Decliar paused slightly, not without his thoughts on this possibility.

Moreover, the argument with the Duke surprised him very much. He did not expect that there were people who were more radical than him in the idea that fire weapons would change future wars.

Even he felt that the duke's idea was a bit too fierce.

As for allegiance to the duke, Don Decliar was still a little hesitant.

He was a Castile nobleman who once swore allegiance to Queen Isabella.

Although Isabel has passed away now, he is still loyal to the Astamara family.

Although the duke in front of him claimed to be the blood relative of Enrique IV, his identity as an illegitimate son made Don Decliar unable to associate him with King Castile for a moment.

"It is not a loyalty to me, at least not now," Alexander had clearly seen Don Decliar's hesitation, so he took the initiative to propose a compromise. "You entered Seville as a Castile soldier, not my personal subordinate. This is to maintain the dignity of Seville. I don't think you want to see the Sicilian army enter the city of Seville first."

Alexander's words gave Don Decliar, who was still hesitating, the best reason, so this time he agreed to the suggestion after only a moment of pondering.

A garrison composed of Castilian soldiers was soon formed. The surrendered soldiers held a simple ceremony under the leadership of Don Decliar, and then, under the leadership of Don Decliar, became the first army to enter the city of Seville in accordance with the agreement reached by both sides.

When I saw the Castile soldiers walking in the front, the locals standing on the street watching all this coldly seemed to feel a little better.

But when the Balkan hunting guards who followed closely behind the team appeared, looking at the familiar but rather unfamiliar flag, many Sevillas became complicated.

On April 25, the coalition forces of the Queen of Sicily and the Duke of Romanthecia entered Seville.

To the surprise of the Sevilla, Pope Alexander VI and the auxiliary bishop who entered the city with the Duke and Sisters were Pope Alexander VI and the supposedly missing auxiliary bishop.

When the auxiliary bishop was seen getting off the carriage with the pope, the crowd gathered in front of the Cathedral of Seville looked different.

For various reasons, the church did not send anyone to welcome the brother and sister.

In fact, the Cathedral once sent someone to send letters to the Sicilians, hoping to be invited to meet the Queen at the Governor's Office, but was rejected on the grounds that His Majesty the Pope was about to come and the Queen could not accept the interview before the Pope.

This made the Seville Church quite panic.

From the rebellious nobles of Andalusia to Gonzalo, and then to the Sicilians today, the Sevilians experienced many changes in turmoil, chaos, occupation and re-occupied in a short period of time.

During this period, the church obviously did not play any brilliant role.

The scene of the auxiliary bishop Yu Don Bavi’s rebels fighting fiercely was still in front of us, but now the auxiliary bishop suddenly hugged the Sicilian thighs, and the sudden appearance of the pope also made the Seville Church secretly uneasy.

They vaguely guessed what big things might happen next.

Alexander VI stood in front of the cathedral with a little emotion, looking up at the famous obelisk-style spire that does not have the famous obelisk-style spire, but the square roof of the cathedral is already brilliant enough.

"Although dark clouds cover the earth, there will be days when the clouds clear and the fog disappears. At that time, everyone's shadow will be cast on the ground, and this shadow is the true side of each of us."

Although Alexander VI was not very good at using it, he was able to talk to himself slowly by the tone heard by the people next to him.

His words shocked those who heard it, and some even looked at the Pope who was notorious and even exiled in disguise.

But in this situation, no one dares to underestimate the Pope.

"Your Majesty Your arrival is a miracle that clears the dark clouds, and this is the gift of God hearing the prayers of the Seville."

The auxiliary bishop standing aside suddenly spoke, and saw everyone else looking at him with surprise, but the auxiliary bishop did not feel uncomfortable at all because of this somewhat embarrassed gaze.

He looked at each other with the eyes of the winner until the Pope spoke.

"Let's go in, it's getting hotter and hotter this day."

Alexander VI kindly stretched out his hand to the priests who had come to greet him, asking them to kiss his dry hands, and at the same time blessed everyone who walked in front of him. It seemed that he was not the one who had just said those words.

The atmosphere around became a little relaxed with the gentleness of the pope, but the priests were still careful, because they knew that the pope who came to Seville with the power of victory of the Sicilians would inevitably bring a storm, not the gospel of God.

Sure enough, just as he stepped into the shadow of the church gate, Alexander stopped. He turned around and looked at the people who were looking at him: "The Queen of Sicily and the Duke of Roman Thesia have entered the city. I think you know you are very clear about what happened before, so I also hope you should understand what to do next."

A brief and strange silence appeared among the priests.

People quietly paid attention to other people's actions, and then everyone seemed to look at the auxiliary bishop with a tacit understanding.

An indescribable strange expression flashed across the face of the auxiliary bishop. He first looked at the pope and saw that Alexander VI completely ignored his intentions. The auxiliary bishop's lips trembled and finally spoke:

"Don Bavi once announced a marriage with Sister Alphite, who called herself Princess Castilla. I declared that this was a blasphemy that was not recognized by God and the Church. I will personally preside over the clarification ceremony in the cathedral to declare that this marriage is not protected by the Bible."

People looked at the auxiliary bishop with strange eyes at this moment.

Everyone here clearly remembers that the place where he stood, the person in front of him presided over the wedding for the "couple and wife", and the marriage he personally announced was recognized and protected by the church.

But now, this person is also the one who wants to abolish all this promised by him himself.

Looking at the auxiliary bishop full of excitement, people felt a vague feeling that tomorrow's clarification ceremony would not be that simple.

When the guards of the breastplate entered the Governor's Mansion, a manager had already stood at the steps in front of the Governor's Mansion with all the servants who had not had time to escape, waiting for their new masters.

In just one year, the Governor's House had several owners. Since Fernando III restored Seville from the Moors and regarded it as the capital of the Old Castile Kingdom, it has never been so "live".

Seeing a carriage fully armed and well-armed guards driving into the yard of the Governor's Mansion under the protection of the guards, the manager respectfully took the lead and bowed respectfully, and at the same time, he carefully raised his head and glanced at the carriage.

The door opened and a young man in a military uniform similar to those of the breastplate guards walked out of the car.

The young officer stood beside the carriage and looked at the grand building of the Governor's House, smiled, and then turned around and reached out to the carriage.

A smooth and slender hand poked out of the carriage and rested on the young man's arm. Then a figure flashed and a young woman appeared in front of the car door.

The manager bent deeper, and he saw a long skirt dragging to the ground, with patterns made of pearls on the skirt, and the silk lining used to foil the whole skirt was extremely gorgeous.

"This is the Governor's House in Seville?"

The voice of a nice young woman came from her face, and the manager couldn't help but lifted his head and looked over.
