Removing these unlucky ghosts, the other knights did not suffer very well.

They may be able to block those longbows and arrows with less lethality, but those crossbows from the front are not so easy to resist, and the lethality and armor-piercing ability of crossbows are much stronger than those of longbows.

Even if the knight almost lay the whole person on the horse's back, but the war horse could not make any evasive actions, the chain mail worn by the war horse could resist some less lethal stray arrows, or swords, but in the face of the Normans' carefully made heavy crossbow machine, it was a little powerless.

Thousands of crossbow arrows shot from all directions, directly put on everyone's horses, in a burst of human screams and the wailing of war horses, this vote of more than forty knights plopped and fell, but there were still at least twenty knights standing up, holding shields that had been riddled with holes, or simply holding swords, and even some people even lost their swords, but they were still charging, maintaining an offensive posture, in the face of thousands of longbowmen, more than a thousand crossbowmen, and tens of thousands of Norman reserves, these knights of less than twenty people, Still on the offensive.

At this moment, the victory and defeat of the frontal battlefield were divided, the dust had settled, the Norman army was victorious, and the Germanic army of 21,700 men scattered and fled with all their might, like a frightened hare.

On the other side of the battlefield, however, twenty-two Germanic knights are still attacking, proving to the Norman Emperor with the last bit of strength in their lives that there are heroes among the Germans, and that you have not won a perfect victory.

However, the Norman soldiers were unmoved, and in order to save their crossbows, the crossbowmen on both wings stopped firing, leaving only the two hundred crossbowmen in the front row, who were meticulous, bent down and stepped on the strings in the most standard posture like machines, put the crossbow bolts into the crossbow box, aim, and pull the trigger......

"Your Majesty!"

The Germanic knights gave up their weapons, clenched their shields or spread their hands to form a human wall, and protected their emperor Frederick in the end, although this was almost meaningless, but as the knights' persistence and faith, they would not let their monarch die before themselves.

After a round of crossbow arrows, the last Germanic knight fell in front of the Norman army's position, leaving only the old man, covered in blood and scars, and the old emperor alone who seemed to have all his energy drained.

"Your Majesty! Do you want to be captured alive? ”

"No, let him die! I think this is a better way to show my respect for him. ”

"Crossbowmen, shoot!"

Norman's foremost crossbowmen began to wind again......

The wind whined, and a dull thunder began to sound in the gloomy sky, and the old emperor Frederick struggled to stand with his sword hilt in both hands, and turned his head to look around, as if searching for his army.

The result, of course, was none!

"Hehe, haha, hahahaha......"

Looking at the chaotic battlefield and the annihilation of his own army, the old emperor of the Holy Roman Empire burst into a burst of laughter.

He raised his sword and made the last charge of his life!

"Holy Roman Empire Army, forward!"

"Launch!"

Hundreds of crossbowmen aimed at the wounded lion at the same time and pulled the trigger.

The old emperor's body suddenly became like a hedgehog, swayed twice, and fell unwillingly in front of the Norman array.

It's over!

Randy looked at the last batch of corpses that had been shot by the bow and crossbow into a human shape, and sighed with some emotion.

It's over indeed!

Glory of the Holy Roman Empire or something......

When the Guard Knight asks Randy what to do with Guntri's body, Randy thinks about it and orders, "Burial well!" ”

"I hope I won't be like him in the future!"

Randy couldn't help but think as he looked at the coffin that had been buried little by little, where Frederick was buried.

"Although true warriors like to die on the battlefield, I think it's better to be in bed."

When I think of my wife and children, I think of Artoria, and when I think of her, Randy hasn't seen her for a long time, so he misses her very much, and when he thinks about her, he can't do it.

After counting the spoils of war, prisoners of war, regrouping the army to heal the wounded, and so on, Randy loudly announced to his army:

"Now we can go home......"

A simple sentence made the Norman army cheer, after all, the soldiers have been fighting for more than a year, and they have consumed great energy, and those regular professional armies are better, but those irregular temporary conscription troops, without exception, have serious homesickness, if it weren't for Randy's prestige to suppress, and has been winning battles, and the loot is a lot of money, I am afraid that there would have been desertion in the army.

But it's finally over!

Although there is Albrecht in Brandenburg between the Norman Empire and Randy's army, Randy doesn't think that this hard-pressed duke who only has 10,000 troops in his hands, and most of them are peasant soldiers, has the courage to stop himself, the smartest, and the most correct way should be to surrender directly, and Randy may be able to give him a mouthful of leftover soup to drink.

Eventually Albrecht did the same......

When he learned that his emperor had been defeated and killed, and that the Norman army of 80,000 was coming straight to Brandenburg, Albrecht breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed:

"It turned out that the emperor came first, and my life was finally saved." It seemed that he did not have to suffer the slaughter of the Norman queen, which made the duke feel quite satisfied, and immediately decided to leave the city and surrender.

Randy did not bother too much about this tool of prestige and power in North Germany, but asked him to disband all the peasant soldiers and feudal knights, leaving only a garrison of 1,000 people, and then generously entered the city of Brandenburg, and chose the villa of the richest local merchant as a temporary palace to live in.

The road back to China was a smooth one, and the soldiers who had survived countless large-scale battles were filled with emotion, and after obtaining Randy's permission, they began to organize themselves spontaneously, and went north to Jutland or Pomerania, and returned to England by boat, or back to Scandinavia, or by land along the communication road from Jutland to New Scandinavia, which had been built for most of the time, and returned to Prussia or Livonia, in short, these people chose to leave, and took a large amount of booty with them. And the topic that I couldn't finish talking about for three days and three nights left.

Randy only had about 37,000 regular troops left with him, which also made the other countries that got the news breathe a sigh of relief.

"It seems that this northern barbarian finally doesn't want to continue fighting, otherwise he really doesn't know what to do."

For example, after getting the news, King Philip II of France was very happy to talk to himself, ate a lot of dinner, and drank several bottles of this year's new wine, and he had the same idea, and now Hesse is frightened, afraid that he will be the next Lucived to be eliminated, the Pope in Rome, and even the kingdoms of the Iberian Peninsula think that it is a good thing for Christendom that Randy can stop for a while.

This idea has changed slightly in the minds of the Holy Roman Empire forces in Munich, who are still in hostile relations with Randy.

As Frederick's most valued supporter, General Tilly, after hearing that the monarch was killed, he was in low spirits, but he was a mercenary general after all, and his relationship with Frederick was also the relationship between the employer and the mercenary, and now that the employer is dead, the obligation as a mercenary has disappeared, even if he wants to take revenge, he can't afford to pay for the hiring of tens of thousands of mercenaries.

The others, including Henry, who now proclaimed himself Duke of Bavaria, and Duke Albert of Austria, who was impatient to take Frederick's letter of promise and declare himself Holy Roman Emperor, did not want to continue fighting Randy.

"If, according to that guy, the object of her revenge is only against the Frederick family, then now that she is satisfied, let's negotiate! The barren land of North Saxony, he gave it to him if he wanted. Albert II, who had already assumed himself the full title of Holy Roman Emperor, announced this at a military council, and Henry, who seemed to have reached some kind of agreement with him, also nodded in agreement.

The two men immediately turned around and looked at the other person who had been vaguely excluded from the decision-making level, but still had a powerful military force in his hands with tens of thousands of mercenary troops.

General Tilly raised his hand tremblingly, and finally hung limply.

"So be it!"

After that, General Tilly walked out on his bone, the last time the old general appeared in a major historical event, after which the old general disbanded his mercenary unit, distributed his decades of savings to them, thanked them repeatedly, and then left Munich in disgrace.

Since then, there has been no record of this general in history......

Some say that after leaving Munich, he was robbed, hanged on the side of the road, and robbed of all his clothes and money.

It is also said that he returned to Iberia with his little savings, bought some land in the countryside, and spent his old age in peace.

But these don't matter, there are only so many scenes in the dragon set, and you can get a safe retirement ending, which is good, the real attention is still the high-sounding emperor and general on the stage, they are the real protagonists.

After spending three days in Brandenburg, Randy gets busy again.

The intelligence system is too complete, and it doesn't seem to be a good thing, because the amount of information is too large, and it takes time and effort to analyze, but fortunately, Randy is still a diligent emperor, and after diving headlong into a lot of intelligence, he quickly analyzes that the Holy Roman Empire's request for peace is likely to be true.

However, a few days later, Randy is angered by another piece of news.

That is, the intelligence system from the Papal States gave the news that after the remnants of the Hohenstaufen family, the crown prince and Lee fled to Rome, the Holy See decided to give him protection out of its own interests, and was very arrogant and arrogant to send an envoy to order Randy to stop any hostilities with the Holy Roman Empire, otherwise he would be excommunicated.

"Oh yes!"

When Randy heard this, he locked himself in his room and slapped the table for a long time.

"Bastard who has no heart and lungs, and doesn't know what kindness is, Lao Tzu just saved your life, is this how you treat your life-saving benefactor?"

Crackling and venting, Randy opened the door and saw a crowd of people gathered outside, the knight of the guard, the archbishop, the intelligence officer Nemulis, the clerk, these people all looked at their emperor uneasily.

"What are you looking at? What to do, what to do! ”

So the group of people scrambled to disappear......

"Damn it!" Randy leaned against the doorframe, rubbed his swollen temples with his eyes closed, and muttered quietly.

"Host, is the belief system transformed into a Norse god system?" That's when Enides' voice came to Randy's head.

"Alright, don't talk about this kind of thing again." Randy said angrily.

"And what did the host decide to do?"

"Anyway, I was going to sign a contract with the Holy Roman Empire, and the Holy See's edict didn't do too much." Randy snapped, pretending not to care.

"Really? So why is the host so angry? ”

"Two meanings, it feels very bad to be threatened like this, even if the thing he threatens is exactly what I am going to do, it is very unpleasant."

"So it is recommended that the host choose the Norse faith ......"

"Shut up!"

The conversation with Enides strengthened Randy's idea of banning the Holy See, but the conditions were not yet ripe, and the result of a forcible split with the Holy See would inevitably lead to chaos in the Norman Empire, invasions of foreign enemies, and various religious problems, all of which were enough to destroy this new empire that had only been established for five years.

"Fortunately, I still have a lot of time!" Randy swears by this, and the next day he returns to his normal state, chatting and laughing with people, and handling official duties extremely quickly.

"It's just to hide the hatred and humiliation for the time being, and when the time is right, then get it back with interest." Randy said to himself, doing the same.

However, sometimes some narcotics are also needed, such as spirits or OOXX.

Twenty days passed like this, and Randy did not wait for the edict of the Papal States, nor for the envoy of the Holy Roman Empire to negotiate peace, but waited for his wife, whom he had not seen for a year.

It's like a year ago, Artoria forced to go to sea from Britain and suddenly appeared in front of Randy, this will be Artoria's sea, Randy was really worried for a while, most of her army was left behind, only a few hussars were lightly armed, and ran all the way along the coastal road network, and couldn't wait to run to Randy's side, and then broke into Randy's office without notice, which startled Randy, and of course, followed by great joy.

Looking at his smiling and simple wife standing in front of him, Randy immediately put down the quill, showed a heartfelt smile of joy, quickly stood up and ran over to hug Artoria, hugged her neck and kissed her, and said sensual words.

"I haven't showered in days, and I'm dirty." Artoria said this about the rejected flower while doing the opposite.

"It's okay, I don't care." Randy said in a slurred voice, and with Artoria's help, he removed the cursed armor from her body, reconnected his shirt with golden fringes, untied the belt, and took off his pants.

At this moment, the other clerks in the entire office, as well as the maid and others who came from Gothenburg, have all automatically and consciously retreated, and by the way, they helped Randy close the curtain and close the door, and the whole room was left with only this couple who had not seen each other for a long time.
