Chapter 620: In Danger
"What do you need?" Vlad asked the other party.
"As long as you recognize our status, I believe the two countries can cooperate even better in the future."
Vlad said he would agree to this request. Now that the other party wants something from him, even if they don't agree, they won't make any big moves.
However, the oppression of a unified Bohemia is still very strong. Although Silesia has been taken, the strength of the remaining places cannot be underestimated.
A divided, war-torn Bohemia therefore served Brandenburg's interests. Vlad was happy to recognize the Hussite regime, but he did not deny Sigismund's status. Since he couldn't become the King of Bohemia anyway, it was just a favor.

Zaimoski came to Lviv. As a vanguard, he led the Polish cavalry to support Lviv, but it was still a step too late.
Lviv has been captured by Romania, and most of the people inside have been captured and turned into slaves, which makes the other party feel desperate.
Peter sat at the top of the city hall, playing with a dagger made of fine iron in his hand. After a long time, he looked at himself with his eyes.
"Messenger from Poland, I think we don't have anything in common."
The emperor's tone made Zaimoski feel very uncomfortable, but the opponent's strength lay here. He had to bow his head. "Dear Roman Emperor, the current situation is not what King Wladyslaw has seen. He is looking forward to peace. The two countries should be committed to resolving the war, not like this..."
Peter planted the dagger on the armrest and stared at the other man. Zaimoski felt considerable pressure.
"Peace, peace was thrown away by Jagievo himself. Don't think that I don't know what you think. More than 20 years ago, you persecuted my father and even colluded with Osman.
Even so, our country has no intention of attacking you, but you are really ignorant. If that's the case, then I don't have to do this anymore and let you all die. "
The word "die" came out of his mouth blatantly, and Zaimoski's pressure increased again. But he still said: "Your Majesty, do you have to watch the blood flow into a river? God will punish you."
Ha, talk theology with him. Peter dismissed it. "God must be on my side. As for you, you are just a barbarian coming out of the jungle. How dare you say God bless you here?"
"But wasn't your country once beaten to pieces by barbarians?"
"Yeah, but now even more powerful, and you're going to be history."
Zaimoski couldn't argue anymore and had to leave. Now that Romania has captured Lviv, its next target must be Krakow, and he must prepare early.
"Your Majesty, a letter from Russia. The Russian army has suppressed the Lithuanian and Livonian armies in Riga and Vilnius, and will be able to break through them soon."
Mihai was faster than he thought, and half of the task was accomplished by suppressing Lithuania. They also have to hurry up.
"The capture of Lviv is indeed worthy of celebration, but being too obsessed with this victory may put our army in trouble in the future." Peter looked at the people aside, "Speak quickly, Andrew, Charlie sent you to confirm There is something important."
Andrew Loyweber, an important assistant to the Spanish Prime Minister Charles. Naturally, he came to Lviv for something important.
"Your Majesty, we have received news that Castile and Aragon have formed an alliance."
"Don't they often form alliances?"
"This time there is something different. According to the scouts' reports, their army began to head south, and it seems that they are going to attack Cordoba."
Peter is also mentally prepared for such a situation. If he wants to distract Rome, then Spain is the best place.
"How long can you resist?"
Andrew began to talk about the current situation. There are a total of 1.3 million people in Spain. After the Castilian army moved south, it recruited 75,000 soldiers and heavily defended Cordoba.
As for the navy, Aragon's navy has recovered a lot at this time. Coupled with the agreement signed with Genoa, it is expected to cause certain difficulties to coastal cities. But it won't be a major blow.
After listening to the report, Peter thought about it carefully. As an isolated island in the empire, Spain mostly had to rely on itself. The current situation can last for a long time, as long as we keep in touch with the local area.
"Your Majesty, I hope that Constantinople can send reinforcements to help attack. This will not only be able to resist Castile, but also capture Toledo."
This tone is not small, Toledo, once the administrative center of Rome. It is now the residence of the Pope. After the fall of Rome, the Pope had difficulty escaping and finally settled here.
The Catholic Church was also involved in this attack. They claimed that those who attacked Spain would be saved. They also issued indulgences to raise war funds. Under their propaganda, many people decided to join the Crusade to the south.
"It seems they are running away again."
This was meant for the Pope and the cardinals. In fact, he didn't really want the Pope to run away. If he had to move, let him go to Constantinople. He would build a house for the Pope himself and let him quarrel with the Patriarch. In this way, doesn’t he bridge the gap between the Eastern and Western churches?
Of course, these are just fantasies, but if this were to be done, he would definitely go down in history. He would be admired as a saint of the church. Until now, it is better to go to Constantinople to carry out the plan.

Wadyslaw has received bad news these days, "What did you say? Lviv has fallen?" He seemed to be hit head-on, staggering and almost falling.
"Your Majesty, we have tried all methods, but the Roman offensive was too fierce. In the end, they even set fire to the city. Many people became slaves, and the archbishop chose to burn himself to avoid falling into their hands..."
The fleeing defenders cried to the king, and Wadyslaw was a little upset, and directly said to attack while the enemy was not yet stable.
"Your Majesty, it's still dozens of miles from here to Lviv. You've traveled a long way and are already very tired. You won't have the energy to fight when you get there. Let's wait."
"No, they might be celebrating. This has happened more than once in their history. Italy and Egypt were lost so quickly. As long as we catch them by surprise, we will definitely be able to take back Lviv."
No one could persuade Władysław, so they could only follow him to Lviv. I hope everything will be as he said.
