Chapter 180: The Informer

The Livonian garrison, led by General Aven, also landed one after another, and the entire left flank became crowded again, and the Normans were next to each other, trampling on corpses and slashing with battle axes to slash and slash the enemy to create passages.

"It's the Normans! It's the Normans! ”

The coalition army on the left flank completely collapsed under this continuous and strong blow, after which the Norman infantry of the upper van occupied the left flank and began to attack the flank of the Eastern Roman army.

"There's no way to fight, let's go."

On the right flank of the battlefield, seeing that his men were being slashed by the Norman hussars little by little, several Tatar chieftains discussed it and decided to flee.

"Let's go, don't give your life to the Eastern Romans."

The steppe nomads inexplicably held a grudge against the Upper Eastern Romans at this moment, leaving behind a small number of broken troops, and the remnants of the defeated generals followed the tribal chieftains, rushing away like lost dogs.

The hussars did not come forward in pursuit, but went straight to the right flank of the Eastern Roman legions.

"It's over!"

Lilianu closed her eyes tightly and clenched her fists, only then did she understand that she had fallen for the other party's scheme, deliberately showing weakness on the left flank on the banks of the Vistula, allowing herself to continuously strengthen the left wing army, putting all the reserves into it, and then dispatching the navy to launch an attack by surprise, completely destroying the left flank and making the left flank army attack the main position.

Her Royal Highness the princess fully understands the other party's plan, but it is too late, the two wings of his own army have been lost, those troops from Eastern European countries have already run away, and the army from Eastern Rome is demoralized, and it has to be besieged on three sides, and the reserves in his hands are only three hundred, and a brigade of the Roman Imperial Forest Army cannot play any role at all.

Lilianu knew that her battle, as the Supreme Commander's sole leader, would end with her complete defeat and a complete victory for the Norman and Celtic forces.

Lilianu stumbled, her eyes dizzy and she almost fell to the ground, her hands clutching her chest, chest tightness, palpitations, and a pang of heartache that I don't know if it was because of the excitement of defeat or the slaughter of the army.

"Damn it!"

Lilianu felt sick when she thought that the seven thousand elites she had worked so hard to accumulate with countless money, countless efforts, and six years were suddenly gone, and she spat out a mouthful of blood in her throat.

"His Royal Highness!"

The Foresters next to him were a little panicked when they saw the princess like this, and watched her wait for the next order.

"If this palace orders you...... Ordered you to go into battle with the main palace to kill the enemy now, what should you do? ”

"Swear to the death!"

The soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army naturally knew the current situation, and their three hundred people only went up to deliver food to others, but they all replied like this, and their words were firm and not like deeds, which made Princess Lilianu feel very pleased.

"No...... We retreat, we don't have to fight for this short time, there will always be a day of resurgence. ”

Hearing Her Royal Highness say this, the Royal Guards also felt a little more relaxed, although they were not afraid of death, it did not mean that they liked to die in vain.

Seeing the Normans getting closer and closer, their own army was almost unable to resist, although occasionally a few hot-blooded guys shouted about Rome, but few responded, but attracted the attention of the Normans, bows, crossbows, flying axes, javelins, and a burst of projections, not even a single corpse was left, the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army did not hesitate, and hurriedly led Lilianu's war horse, and each stepped on the horseback.

Everything was arranged, and Lilianu gritted her teeth, holding the word retreat from between her teeth.

After that, he left behind the army that was fighting, and under the escort of the Imperial Guards, he went straight to a colony of the Eastern Roman Empire.

At this time, it was almost dusk, and the light was not enough, so it was not clear what to see, so it was not until Lilianu had escaped for a while that several of the routs noticed the situation.

"The crown prince ran away, the princess ran away, and Her Royal Highness the princess left the army and ran away."

A few routs shouted in horror, the Eastern Roman army was in an uproar, and few people had the heart to resist anymore, surrendering those who surrendered, fleeing and fleeing, and there were cries and screams on the battlefield, including the victory cheers of the Normans and Celts.

"Victory! We won! ”

After a whole day of fierce fighting, the soldiers' physical strength was almost exhausted, but at this moment, the strength of the Norman and Celtic soldiers seemed to return in an instant, and they began to cheer loudly, laughing and laughing at the prisoners who grabbed the prisoners, and the people who grabbed the things.

At this time, Artoria also received a letter from the scout, and learned that the opposing commander had escaped.

"Did you run away? Hahaha, it's really useless, pass the order and order the Eastern Romans to stop resisting immediately, the mourning family is in a good mood today, and they can spare their lives. ”

Artoria is indeed in a happy mood now, because she defeated the Eastern Roman Empire, although this battle is very watery, but victory is victory, this is a superpower that Randy has not defeated, but Artoria has won, Her Royal Highness the Queen, Her Majesty, the most noble woman in all of Europe, is naturally happy to have the capital to show off in front of Randy.

"The Queen of Celtic Britain, the Queen of the Norman Empire, the Red Dragon of Northern Europe, this palace swears to kill you."

Her Royal Highness the Princess, who fled in embarrassment that day and lost all her wealth, secretly swore that she completely hated the Norman Queen, but no matter what happened later, all she could do now was to run away desperately.

Lilianu gathered the rout along the way, although there were many soldiers of the Eastern Roman Empire, because of Lilianu's escape and resentment, but helpless, it is better to follow Lilianu than to run aimlessly alone, this is the so-called ordinary people, they don't have much knowledge, and they can't make up their minds, except for who is smarter and more powerful with someone, they don't know how to be good, although the final decision may not be as good as their own mind, but they just complain, or change to another person who makes decisions for themselves, Instead of taking the idea yourself.

Lilianu went all the way south, and at the same time sent soldiers of the Imperial Guards to the north to disguise themselves as peasants to inquire about the news, and heard that Artoria wanted to win the hearts of the people in southern Poland, and had no intention of going south, so she was relieved to continue to pursue.

A few more soldiers joined along the way, and although the army had expanded to three or five thousand men, it was possible to reassure Lilianu, but she didn't know what to do in the future.

If you continue to go south, you will be able to return to the Balkans after a while, which is equivalent to returning to China, but this time you were defeated, and the fame accumulated before may be all over, and I don't know how the people of Eastern Rome will evaluate themselves after returning to China, and how they will have the face to go back.

What if we continue north? A little further north is the Polish possessions, which had become the domain of the Normans.

If to the east...... To the east is the Kingdom of Hungary, which has had many wars with the Eastern Roman Empire before, and was destroyed once by his dead ghost father, and he went there to find death.

"Let's go north and then west, to Ukraine."

Her Royal Highness finally made up her mind and decided to continue her mission to stay in Eastern Europe and unite with the rest of Eastern Europe to fight against the Norman invasion.

Putting aside the fact that Lilianu made up her mind to make trouble with the Normans, Artoria did grow a lot after her victory this time, not only did she not kill the captives patiently, but instead sent people to comfort her, and told them not to make trouble and let them go home, as for those tribal villages or towns that have not yet surrendered, they should be put together according to the rules to take care of them, and treat them with the same kindness, and when attacking those places, they should bring them with them and use them to persuade them to surrender.

In fact, after the defeat of the entire Eastern European coalition army and the Eastern Roman Empire army, where else in the entire southern part of Poland would dare to stand up against her? Hearing of the defeat of the Eastern European coalition forces, and seeing the Norman army piling up a large number of captured flags and ordnance outside the city, the people of Krakow changed their minds, and finally one night, the hungry citizens rioted.

They gathered together to open the gates of the city, broke through the parliament of the autonomous government, and cut off the heads of the noble councillors and presented them to Empress Artoria.

KrakΓ³w is still here, other small towns in southern Poland are naturally not a problem, a hussar hundred-man team with a few prisoners over to shout can be pacified, just like less than half a month, the entire southern Poland has been pacified, Artoria changed the previous character of killing, although there is a little forced buying and selling everywhere the army goes, but the robbery of strong X is rare, and at the same time, taking advantage of the autumn grain storage season, the war in southern Poland has just subsided, and it seems that the agricultural time will be delayed, As a result, Artoria sent troops to help the peasants to harvest the land, so that the people of southern Poland were somewhat calmer, and the Polish region was peaceful.

"I've grown in!"

When Randy learned of this information, he couldn't help but sigh like this.

At this moment, Randy's army has pacified Belarus and marched into Ukraine.

The expansion of the Norman Empire in Eastern Europe was very smooth, Poland, Belarus, Lithuania, these three countries, more than 600,000 square kilometers of large territories, large pastures, plain arable land and forests, rivers all started, the territory of the Norman Empire instantly expanded by about 1/5, and all of them were suitable for farming, fertile land, although the population is relatively sparse, but as long as it is properly managed, Randy believes that with these lands, his national strength can at least double.

"Hehe, hahaha......" Sitting in the newly developed swivel chair, Randy smiled as he spun in circles, causing Registrar Talleyrand to frown slightly.

"It's really unfair that such an emperor can become the lord of a country, or even an emperor!"

Sir Talleyrand shook his head softly in his heart, but was watched by Sonya, who was standing behind Randy.

"This man is not loyal." Sonia secretly reminded herself in her heart to pay attention to this guy.

"Sir Talleyrand, is there anything else you can do?" Randy asked.

"This, actually......"

Talleyrand frowned and glanced at Sonia behind Randy, with a hesitant expression, looking like he wanted to talk to Randy alone.

"Sonia is my sweet person, don't worry."

"This matter is about the corruption of the top bureaucrats of the Reich......"

After Talleyrand said this, he paused, and saw that Randy looked at him, as if he wanted him to continue, but he didn't let Sonia leave, and couldn't help but snort softly in his heart!

"Lustful faint king."

"Rong subordinates report that that person is none other than the current intelligence director Nemulis."

"Oh!"

Randy let out a soft sigh and raised Sonya's palm to the sun, exclaiming, "Sonya, your skin is so crystal clear. ”

Seeing that Randy didn't care, and didn't even mean to continue, Talleyrand was a little discouraged, but he gritted his teeth and took out several documents from his handbag, which were all paper books purchased from the Arab world, and it seemed that Talleyrand had paid for it.

"This is the investigation report of his subordinates in the recent period, which records the proximity of Nemulis to envoys from other countries, the bribery, and the evidence that he has connections with several gangs and gangsters in the country, please check it out."

"Oh!"

Randy raised his head slightly, making a little concerned, but he didn't look at it, took the document and knocked it on the desk, looked at it a little, didn't look at the content, just looked at the format and calligraphy of the writing, and praised twice: "The handwriting is good, sir." And then I put it aside.

"If nothing else, you can go down." Randy said.

Talleyrand looked a little excited: "Your Majesty, do you want to shield that sinner?" Just because the other person has followed you for a long time and has done some credit, so you want to shield him? ”

Hearing Talleyrand's words, Randy burst out laughing.

"Alright, sir, that's the end of the joke, I'm going to meet with the nearby Ukrainian nobles in the afternoon, are the gifts ready?"

"Ready...... Your Majesty! ”

"Then go check again."

"Yes! Your Majesty. Seeing that Randy didn't want to talk about it, Talleyrand was a little stunned and turned to leave.

Seeing Talleyrand leave, the smile on Randy's face immediately disappeared, and he snorted softly, "Does that guy think I'm a fool?" Befriending a foreign minister? Gangsters and bandits? Nemulis, who does intelligence work, should it be as clean as a sanitary napkin? ”

"Your Majesty...... Do you want to kill him? Seeing Randy's gloomy face, Sonia asked.

Although I don't know what the reason is, the killer doesn't need a reason to kill people at all, as long as Randy gives an order, Sonia can be meticulously completed, this is Sonya.

"Sonia, why did you come up with such a terrible thing? Girls should be kind, don't shout and kill all day long, this kind of thinking is very dangerous. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€

It seems that you are the most dangerous!

Sonia couldn't bear to say this, but she still turned her face away from Randy, who chuckled lightly and didn't pester Sonya anymore, but fell into deep thought.

This guy Talelang seems to be a little unstoppable lately.

What kind of corruption and bribery is just an excuse, I want Randy to be wary of Nemulis, after all, the royal eagle dog is not easy to do, and Nemulis does have a lot of taboos, but Talelang also knows that it is impossible to bring Nemulis down with this excuse, his purpose should just be to make Randy vigilant, and realize that Nemulis's power is too great, and someone must check and balance, and then get a piece of the pie from himself.

But if you think about it carefully, Nemulis's power is indeed a little bigger, not that Nemulis is not loyal enough, but the problem of position, if the position is not right, even the most loyal people will change their minds, just like the cloth put in the dye vat, it will definitely be dyed, and the clothes placed next to the coal will definitely be stained, if you don't check and balance a subordinate, it will not be a reward, but it will hurt him, so the wise monarch will suppress his ministers from time to time, It is for this reason that they can remember their status, so that they do not think about non-separation, and can continue to let the relationship between monarchs and ministers continue, so as not to tear their faces, the so-called righteousness of all monarchs and ministers is this truth.
