Alexander did not pay attention to Busacco's appearance, but he knew that this meant that his army was actually half surrounded in an area with a width and narrow depth of less than 5 flies. In such a palm-sized area, both sides invested about 17,000 people!

"It's really a difficult battle," Alexander said softly. Even now he still didn't think he was at a very dangerous level, because he found that the enemy's left wing should have continued to go east and pushed him completely towards the enemy on the Danube bank. After crossing the previous position of Montina's left wing, he quickly stopped moving forward.

In this way, a huge gap appeared in the eastern part of the front between the enemy and the half-encircled from the northwest to the Danube in the south.

"Sir, our army should withdraw from the right side of the front line as soon as possible, otherwise it may be pushed into the river." An officer said anxiously. They did not know why Alexander refused to give a retreat order. Speaking of which, before they crossed the Danube and attacked the Ottomans, Alexander once told them that the purpose of this battle was not to win, but now Alexander seemed a little stubborn and unwilling to retreat, which made the officers feel helpless and worried. "At least we should shrink the front to the east. Now our army is so easy to attack the enemy from both sides."

Alexander nodded silently. He knew that the officer was right. A large angle formed from west to north due to the enemy's detour made his troops form a very obvious protruding part in the northwest direction. This was actually very dangerous for the Montina army. As long as the Ottomans launched an attack from both northwest directions at the same time, the troops of this protruding part would be completely surrounded.

But looking at the enemy's position that was gradually shrouded in the falling twilight, Alexander never issued an order to retreat.

"Wait," Alexander said softly in an inaudible voice. "The Ottomans stopped. Don't you think this is a little strange?"

The officers looked at Alexander in amazement, while some looked at the Ottoman positions opposite in confusion.

The Ottoman army did stop further towards the depth of the flank of Montina. They stopped about one-third of the Genoese on the right wing. A group of Muselim infantry at the forefront began to poke the halberds they carried on the ground to establish simple defense lines, while the Anatolian light cavalry of the brigades were running on both sides and on the plains further away, as if looking for possible opportunities to take advantage of.

"The Ottomans are tired," an officer suddenly shouted excitedly. "They must be very tired after attacking for so long. Look at our soldiers who are so tired after guarding the fortifications. They must be very tired."

The officer's judgment aroused a burst of excitement among the officers of Montina. They first whispered, and then looked at Alexander, who seemed to be silent all the time.

"Sir..." Busako whispered, "Do we need to be prepared for retreat?"

"Maybe we have a better chance at night," a Genoese officer pondered. "The Ottomans are indeed very tired. The Muselim infantry are not energetic to launch an attack even close to us. If it is darker until the day is dark, we may have a chance to withdraw from the battle, and at least we can establish a more favorable front."

"It is true, but it might be better if the Ottomans could pull their front longer." Alexander finally spoke, and his eyes looked towards the depths of the enemy's front line, which had fallen into the hazy twilight, and only some shadows were vaguely visible, running and shaking. "There is only one chance for the night, and if it is tomorrow morning, we may really have no way out."

Speaking of this, Alexander moved his lips slightly, and said softly in a tone that only he could hear: "Gonpati, what are you doing."

Gompatti stood outside the tent and walked anxiously. He didn't know how Alexander was now, but his situation was not very good now.

Not far from him, two knights in armor and with large armor-breaking swords hanging around their waists were staring at him fiercely. From their fierce eyes staring at him under the brim of their helmets and hats, they obviously had no good feelings for him.

Gompatti had already learned from their badges that these two men were under Ladislas II's men.

Ladislas II expressed strong dissatisfaction and anger when the people of Cepes left the city to meet the foreigners without authorization. After hearing the news, he immediately sent his attendant, the knight, to question Cepes. However, before the envoy brought the news, he sent a second envoy, and the man received the order to recall Sophia and Cepes to the castle together.

Ladislas II now regretted it a little. He didn't expect that the girl would be so disobedient.

Now Ceppes is instigating her to call on people in the city to fight against the Ottomans with him, or simply to Ladislas II himself, and ironically, he tried his best to give the girl the title of "Greek Princess".

Ladislas II obviously could not accept this embarrassing result, and worse yet, Cepas' attitude made him difficult to make a decision to prepare for negotiations with the Ottomans.

Some nobles who had already decided to support him became hesitant because of the obstruction and destruction of Ceppes and his supporters, especially the intense emotions of the Bucharests seemed to have had a significant impact. The Greek nobles who had originally regarded Sophia as their savior took the opportunity to incite ordinary people to fight to the death with the Ottomans.

Some people have even openly shouted the terrible slogan of "execution of the surrender."

This made Ladislas II unable to bear it anymore. He was ready to take extreme measures when necessary to resolve the farce. Although the number of troops Cepasse had should not be underestimated, the king believed that if the nobles who had been regarded as rebels could quickly suppress the aliens without any preparation.

But Ladislas II never expected that at this moment, the army of the Earl of Montina arrived outside Bucharest.

Now he was dealing with not only those disobedient nobles, but also an earl from Rome, which made Ladislas II feel a little overwhelmed.

He immediately sent two messengers in a row, hoping that the count's men could convince him before seeing Cepes.

Now the two messengers of the king were staring at Gompatti, as if they were always alert to him that he might rush into the tent.

Gompatti felt the strong hostility of the two men, and at the same time, because he was worried about Alexander's situation, he felt that every moment of waiting was so long.

When Ladislas II was having a headache about the current situation, Cepas was not so relaxed, and it was even worse.

The emotions of ordinary people in Bucharest were indeed incited, or it should be said that the incitement was a bit too much. Nowadays, many people not only spontaneously took up weapons, but some even formed urban self-defense forces.

These self-defense forces declared that they were only loyal to "Princess Sophia Alexandra Valleolo", and the backbone of these self-defense forces were the remaining young and old people of the Greek nobles.

Cepas was overjoyed at the actions of these people, but he had a headache not long after.

Although those people were willing to join him in opposing the negotiations between Ladislas II and the Ottomans, they obviously did not want to obey his command. For a time, both the main parties with the king and the main parties with the war were in trouble with internal and external affairs.

What surprised Cepes even more was that Sophia seemed to have an unusual interest in the Earl of Montina, which can be seen from her eagerness to meet the officer under Montina.

This made Cepes feel a vague crisis.

For Cepes, Sophia has become the key to his fight for the right to speak in Bucharest City. At this time, Sophia suddenly showed interest in the Earl of Montina, which made Cepes a little uneasy.

Cepas tried to stop Sophia from meeting the officer named Gompati, but to his surprise, Sophia, who had always listened to him, suddenly became irritable.

At this time, Cepes even regretted bringing Gompatti into the city, but when the king's two messengers arrived one after another, he immediately realized that in addition to the Ottoman army outside the city, they also had enemies that they also needed to deal with.

"You can see that person," Cepace finally said to Sophia who was angry. "But I'm going to be there, you know the Romans are all very cunning, and I'm worried that they might deceive you with lies."

Sophia tilted her head in habit and looked at Cepes silent for a while, then her neck moved slightly to make her head tilt very straight, and then nodded.

Because Sophia walked up to the city wall every day, Cepas simply asked someone to set up a tent under the city wall.

In fact, he did this more because he was worried that he might be plotted upon returning to the castle. At this time, the relationship between him and Ladislas II was already extremely tense, and neither side suspected that conflict might break out at any time.

When Gompatti walked into the tent, he clearly felt the angry eyes of the two king messengers, but soon he forgot the eyes of the two people because he saw a girl who surprised him.

An extremely gorgeous armor covered the girl's body. The gems and enamel patterns on the armor looked extremely luxurious. The beautiful and precious snow-white velvet helmet inlaid on the helmet at her hand swayed gently with the wind blowing in.

When the girl stepped forward after seeing him, listening to the friction sound of the armor on her body, Gompatti was shocked to find that this armor, which could be said to be a work of art, was not just for viewing, but for real things.

But somehow, Gompatti suddenly felt that the armor seemed familiar.

Then he soon thought that the style of this armor was the one worn by Ruosha on the gold coins issued by Alexander.
