Rondoba Barbarig has been in Trotino for some time.

He had been prepared since he decided to give up Vicenza, and for this he even used a killing to shock his subordinates who tried to resist him.

For some generals who attempted to create rebellion, he did not give them any chance. In order to make the shock better, he chose the most intense way to execute the traitors without hesitation.

Compared with the soldiers who were whipped before, the rebel generals were less lucky. They were not only declared deadly, but also deprived of their last dignity.

When these men were pressed on a tree stump that had just been cut down and exposed with brand new textures, both soldiers and officers were ordered to observe the punishment, and were frightened by the cruel style of Rondoba Barbarig.

The cut-off heads were tied up with ropes and dropped by the camp gate, while the bodies were buried in the cemetery outside the city of Trotino.

The hot summer immediately made the heads smell disgusting, but Rondoba Barbarig didn't care.

After such a cruel suppression, the army temporarily calmed down. Everyone knew that Babarig was no less inferior to his uncle at all, and even more fearful than his uncle in terms of cruelty.

But Rondoba Barbarig also knew that although the storm had subsided for the time being, if we could not contact the Austrians immediately, it might not be so easy to deal with when there was another mutiny of soldiers.

However, the messenger he sent to Milan had no news for a long time. At this time, he not only did not dare to contact Venice, but also did not want the Venetians to find him.

What the officers under Rondoba Barbarig didn't know was that he sent some of his confidants to leave Trotino quietly and lie on the road to Vicenza.

These people had only one purpose. Once they found an envoy from Venice, they would intercept and kill him mercilessly.

Barbarig knew very well that if he had given up the rescue of Mesterre and transferred Vicenza before, there was a reason for his explanation, then he might simply withdraw from Veneto, which would not be forgiven by the Venetian nobles in any case.

So if the messengers sent by Venice find them, the first thing is undoubtedly to remove his command.

What awaits him then is probably ruthless punishment.

Barbarig believes that many people must have wanted to see him being taken back to Venice and then be tried publicly in front of the people.

So he decided not to give the messengers a chance to meet him, and as he searched for news in Trotino these days, he also found various signs that perhaps the Austrians were planning other things.

In Trotino, not only did he not see the Austrian army that should have arrived, but the news about Milan was getting worse and worse.

The idea was that the consolidation with the Austrians did not happen, but the news about the French seemingly invading Milan was growing.

Little Barbarig finally couldn't bear it. He knew that he could not continue to retreat north, because after passing the river flowing north of Trotino, he entered the branch of the Alps.

Even if it was summer, he could not cross the Alps with such an army.

After all, he is not Hannibal.

And the army obviously would not allow him to do so.

If a mutiny occurs again, it will be difficult to deal with it so easily.

Moreover, the French's intention to occupy Milan also prevented Rondoba Barbarig from staying out of the matter.

If there is still a chance to get rid of the accusation of running away without authorization, he can only find a way to prevent anyone from occupying Milan.

The Venetians certainly did not want the Romanesians to obtain Milan, nor would they allow France or Austria to occupy the capital of Lombardy.

Thinking of this, Rondoba Barbarig suddenly felt that perhaps Constantine Rovere was the only candidate to become the Duke of Milan and be accepted by all parties.

This idea made Barbarig feel bad all of a sudden.

He believed that he did not have the intelligence of his uncle, and his interest was more on the battlefield than fighting with the old men in the aristocratic courtyard.

But as a member of the Barbarig family, the family hopes that Barbarig knew that as long as he did not die on the battlefield or was conspired to be killed by a political enemy halfway, he would one day try to become the Governor of Venice of the Barbarig family again as he did.

So he was extremely concerned about the situation in Lombardy, and he was also very aware of the many struggles outside the battlefield.

When the Duke of Rometheia publicly expressed his support for his brother-in-law becoming the Duke of Milan, Rondoba Barbarig, like many others, believed that Alexander did this purely because of family concepts.

Constantine de la Rovere's previous actions have long shown that he has completely difficulty in keeping the title of Duke of Milan.

Especially his move to abandon the city and run away without waiting for the French to arrive completely proves that he is difficult to take on important tasks.

But Alexander still insisted on supporting Constantine, which made many people think that this was the first and most serious mistake he made so far.

But Rondoba Barbarig suddenly realized at this time that Constantine was actually the most suitable Duke of Milan.

Because no matter who it is, he seems to be acceptable.

The French, Austrian, Venice and the Holy See, if you think about it carefully, you will find that the Lovelle family has deep or shallow relationships with all countries.

The Principality of Roman Thescia, which was originally a favorable location to border Lombardy, gave them reasons and convenience to interfere in Lombardy affairs at any time.

Moreover, in this situation where almost all parties cannot allow others to monopolize Milan, it is just a matter of just needing a person who can cover everything and break the deadlock.

"If this was something that the duke had considered long ago, it would be terrible."

Little Barbarig said to himself. Although he kept telling himself that he was just thinking too much, he knew deep down that all this should be the plan of the Duke of Romanthesia.

Barbarig knew that his evacuation of Veneto without authorization was undoubtedly a serious crime. His only chance to avoid punishment from the Senate was to prove to the Venetians again before the messenger arrived.

After a brief rest, the Austrians, Little Barbarig, who could not wait for the Austrians, ordered the army to turn around and move south.

He once again set his destination in Milan, but this time he planned to march from north to south, and whether he could threaten the French, he had to fight for Milan.

Otherwise, his results would be two possible, either being punished by the Venetians or being forced to flee to a foreign country.

Barbariger, a little boy, was unwilling to be a fugitive, so he had to give the Venetian a reason that he could not punish him.

The road from Trotino to Milan is not easy to walk. Although the entire peninsula is not as isolated from the Apennines as in the south, the large areas of hills and lakes still make his march very difficult.

During this period, the scouts he sent also brought back new news about Veneto.

What Barbarig did not expect was that the two legions of the Romanesian army, east and west, did not delay the time after he evacuated the battlefield, but turned back quickly earlier than him and occupied Padua again.

Then the Romanesian army stayed in Padua as if it could not move at once.

They established two parallel fronts before Padua and Po.

The Ofulei Legion faced Venice again and was ready to face it at any time.

The Gompati Legion followed the upper reaches of the Po River again and made a move towards Lombardy again.

Listening to the scout's report and thinking about the situation about Lombardy that he had inferred before, it was at this time that Babareg realized that perhaps the goal of Romanesia was not Milan from the beginning, at least it was not Milan before, and their targets were actually Venice and Veneto.

This made Little Barbarig secretly amazed the ambitions of the Duke of Roman Thesia, and he couldn't help but make the right choice for himself.

At the end of May, a matter that seemed to have nothing to do with the war clouds spread to Italy.

After occupying the city of Perape in Hungary, the Wallachian army did not stop, but continued to march westward, trying to occupy Kurshhogo, a silver mineral in southern Hungary.

This move finally completely angered Maximian. He sent envoys to Northern Bosnia with the intention of forming an alliance with Herva and allowing Northern Bosnia to contain Wallachia first.

But this move was exchanged for Herva's unexpected rejection.

Herva would reject Maximian at this time because he himself is in many trouble now.

The friction between South Bosnia and his kingdom is getting worse and worse. Grand Duke Carl of Kagnola on the eastern border is ready to move. At the same time, the remnants of the Roe, who was fighting for the crown of Northern Bosnia, are also provoking domestic forces against him to riot.

However, what really made Herva decide to consider carefully was the strength shown by the Wallachia army.

The strength of the Wallachian new army invaded Perape City impressed many people who saw that scene.

When the description of the fierce battles of the musket troops riding on horses and the kind of light cavalry artillery that seemed to be able to follow the cavalry around the battlefield and then fire fiercely at the enemy at any time, causing huge casualties repeatedly appeared in Herva's ears, the King of Northern Bosnia finally chose to "see first and then talk."

No one thought that Kurshhogo would become a place that means a lot to both sides.

The guardian of Kurshhogo was a Hungarian nobleman, which was not very important.

The key is that this Hungarian noble also had a very prominent title in Vienna, which made Maximian completely disregard Ladislas II's opposition and naturally arranged an Austrian army here.

Although he occupied the city of Perape, the new Wallachia army has not confronted the Austrian army.

Now in Kurshhogo, they faced the first time alone the Austrians who had defeated Ladislas II.

Despite all the arguments, according to Prato's statement that the information sent back was sent, the battle began in the morning.

Surprisingly, both sides paid a very high price in this battle.

In the end, the Austrians had to give up Kurshhogo after more than 800 casualties.

The Wallachian New Army paid nearly 500 people to capture the largest silver mining city in southern Hungary.

At the beginning of the battle, no one on both sides thought about what this confrontation meant.

When the battle ended, as the Austrians were forced to evacuate, the Austrian flag was stepped on by Wallachian soldiers who had attacked the city, an unexpected result appeared.

A Bohemian messenger who followed the new army of Wallachia and always observed the entire battle wrote in his letter to Ladislas II after the battle:

"Your Majesty, I observe the Wallachia army on your order to judge whether they have the strength to align with us, and the result I can report to you now is that this is a powerful armed force that can challenge any enemy..."

"Their soldiers are well-trained. I saw with my own eyes that they train for up to 6 hours a day, and they do this almost every day. Their soldiers are disciplined and brave. The key is that I found that there are a large number of lower-level officers in their army with rich combat experience, which is rare in any army..."

"In the Battle of Kurshhogo, the Wallachians paid about 500 people, which does not seem to be a very proud record. After all, the number of casualties between the two sides is not much different, but please allow me to explain to you that most of these 500 people were losses during the siege, and in the previous field battles, their losses were pitifully small. On the contrary, the casualties of the Austrians were almost all caused in the field battles."

"The conclusion I can draw is that this is an army that has just emerged but has enough strength. In comparison, the Austrians performed too badly, so in terms of combat ability alone, the Wallachians can be trusted."

No one knew what Ladislas II thought after receiving such a report, but the Bohemia king, who had originally sent troops to assemble on the Hungarian border controlled by the Austrians, suddenly gave his general the order to regain Hungary.

In mid-June, just as the hottest season of the year finally arrived, a war broke out in Hungary, which had been prepared for all parties for a long time in the northern part of the Balkans.

The Prague League, which had Bohemia and Wallachia as its alliance, launched an attack on Hungary, which was controlled by the Austrians.

As for the Holy Roman Emperor who had been prepared, Austrian Grand Duke Maximian sent his famous "soldier bishop" Cardinal Rodberbolid of Eisenstadt to fight against the Pova coalition.
