Chapter 43: The Tide Is Over

Although I wanted to kill him in my heart. But when Joseph really died. Duchess Teresa still felt as if her heart had been torn apart. The word "finished" flashed through her mind.

The Holy Roman Emperor died. The symbol of their alliance is gone. And his death took place in a coup d'état against her. Teresa just has her mouth all over her body and can't tell. A military defeat is no less a political defeat. The Habsburgs, who were originally the strongest princes of the Holy Roman Empire. That's it, basically, no, I should say, there is no hope at all.

At that time, Duchess Teresa only felt dizzy in her head, and her ears heard a "buzzing". After that, he fainted. There was an uproar in the Austrian army. Just now the so-called "emperor" died. The crowd didn't feel anything. However, at this moment, the Duchess, who really held the power of Austria, fainted. The crowd was panicked. hurriedly surrounded Teresa and carried Teresa back into the room. I called a doctor to come and bleed...... And so, after a few more moments, Teresa woke up faintly. I felt dizzy and had no energy. When I looked in the mirror again, my face was pale and my lips were not bloody. I couldn't help but sigh and say that I was dying soon...... In fact, it was too much bloodletting. So the anemia that appeared...... And just like that, Joseph died. Theresa's evidence of her domination of Austria and Bohemia disappeared. Although because of her iron-fisted power, coupled with the crisis of the Norman army. So there is no one who dares to jump out against her at this time. But the seeds of discontent are growing. Other benefits are not visible for the time being. But after all the hype, the Norman army was met with far fewer obstacles to accepting all parts of Bohemia.

After hearing about the "fact" that "the vicious duchess killed her son, the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire", people heard about it. They all expressed their unwillingness to be ruled by this man again. When the news reached the Norman Empire, Egil was elated. He even asked the Norman spy system to publicize Teresa's "crimes".

So, not long after, a murderer and son, bathed in virgin blood every day, to maintain the image of a young duchess. And it was written into the history books of the Norman Empire as an official historical record by Egil, who was not frugal. Teresa's image is completely ruined.

And just like that, Bohemia was pacified. Thirty thousand troops from Austria, Bohemia, and Bavaria died in the mountains of Bohemia and in the cities of Prague. After this good news. The eastern, western, southern, and northern armies have all accomplished their initial objectives.

The vast majority of the members of the anti-Norman coalition have been exterminated. Of the six electors of the Holy Roman Empire, only a badly damaged Bavaria and a barely surviving Austria remain. The rest are gone. It was no longer a dream for the Norman Empire to unify Europa and build an empire as vast as the Roman Empire had in its heyday...... July 1013. After a period of rest and replenishment. The four armies of the Norman Empire were all regained their combat effectiveness. And received a second round of instructions from Egil: "Pursue while you win." Destroy the last rebel. ”

Prior to this, Bavaria and Austria had sent numerous emissaries, Henry and Theresa, who had also written numerous letters of humility. But except for the first time, when His Majesty the Emperor gave a favor and claimed that they could "surrender all their territories and the army to save their lives", at other times these letters were all lost. And the messengers ran away and didn't know where they went.

And except for these messengers who ran and didn't know where to go. There were also many nobles and courtiers who made excuses and went back to their own domains. Or maybe it's just a no-nonsense. And so it went on for a while. Except for the cronies of these two dukes. Their vassals are almost gone. In Eastern parlance, it means "the tree falls and the tree scatters", and in the Western parlance, it means "the rat will leave the sinking ship". In short, it's all very bleak.

In this way, the number of armies of Austria and Bavaria again fell. And the situation has developed to this point. There are no mercenaries left in this world for them to hire. Austria had less than 5,000 troops, and Bavaria had about 10,000 troops. At the same time, because of the defeat in Prague, there was also a palace coup in Vienna. Led to the collapse of the alliance between Austria and Bavaria. We can't support each other.

On the other hand, their opponent, the Norman Empire, had a force of 100,000 troops!

"It's over. in every sense. After giving the order to attack, His Majesty the Emperor said such things before he could wait for the results. In Teresa, when Henry and Henry couldn't sleep at night and were about to be crushed by the great pressure, the great emperor who was about to unify Central Europe felt a little bored.

That's right, it's boredom. After so long and so long, the emperor finally felt a little bored. That's not to say his bed partner isn't pretty. Not to mention that His Majesty the Emperor has declined before he gets old. Rather, it said...... Well, it's like eating something delicious, every day. I ate it for almost a year. Why don't you get tired of eating it? That's the kind of thinking.

So I had to find some new ingredients to eat. His Majesty the Emperor thought so as he tapped his white teeth with his long, sharp, long, long, nails that had been growing for nearly a year. At the same time, both hands were not honestly touching a girl's breasts. Well, almost with a cigarette, or just a serving of powder. The image of a faint monarch with excessive silver appeared. Speaking of that white powder, the emperor is indeed preparing to import some marijuana from India recently. In fact, if he could, he would like to give poppy or something a try. Just like any person who has nothing to do if he is famous, the emperor feels empty, lonely and cold...... But in the end, these things were stopped by Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. After hearing that the emperor wanted to organize a large-scale expedition to India in search of marijuana. This man, who had to deal with official business during the day and had a certain chance of being ravaged by the emperor at night, finally broke out.

"Are you an idiot?!"

"Huh, no problem. As long as you exchange the system with the system, there will be no harm to the body. ”

"That's not the point!"

"Oh. By the way, this reminds me that I can directly use the system to redeem—"

That's it. After going through a battle that was no less than the battle against the Mongols, the eldest princess finally stopped His Majesty the Emperor from making such unreasonable trouble. But in the face of His Majesty the Emperor, who had been completely reduced to wastewood, Aurora also felt very helpless. Because the war was completely entrusted to the generals, and the government affairs were completely entrusted to the Council. Now Egil seems to have nothing else to do but eat and die.

Originally, the emperor also wanted to learn from Zhu Yuanzhang and be a little suspicious of the prime minister or something. Then he was diligent in his work, and he got up on the third watch and kept reviewing the recital until half past ten. But I quickly got tired of it. In addition, I have been in the office and the female secretary has been sexting, and the office floor smells of heather everywhere. This kind of thing is also very distressing. So soon, Egil evolved from Zhu Yuanzhang to Jiang Xiaobai.

"If there is anything, just ask the eldest princess. ”

"If there is anything, just ask the eldest princess. ”

"What are you looking for me, if you have anything, just ask the eldest princess......

After the emperor fell out of the knots three times and twice, the officials had something, so they automatically and consciously went to the eldest princess to ask. The side effect is that many people complain like this: "I also asked the eldest princess about this matter, and I also asked the eldest princess about that matter, and the eldest princess did everything, so what are you going to do as an emperor?"

Egir was not annoyed when he heard this, but said with a hippie smile: "I am the eldest princess." ”

That's pretty much it. The eldest princess stopped the Norman Emperor's nonsense, so the emperor couldn't just be idle and pop all day long. But if Egil really wants to go back to the time when he was so exhausted in the years when he fought against the Mongols. The emperor was a little reluctant. The life of the harem Yinmi, although it has been a little boring for a long time. But if you really give it up, you feel reluctant.

It's like someone who surfs the Internet every day. Sometimes I get bored when I go on the Internet too much. But it's even more boring if you don't have the internet...... But an emperor is an emperor after all. Although it has gotten a little worse lately. But in essence, the emperor was still a rather clever and cunning ruler. After thinking about it for a while, the emperor came up with a way to get the best of both worlds. It can not only find something to do for him, but also contribute to his luxurious life.

"I have decided that, having defeated Bavaria and Austria, I will prepare to attack the Eastern Romans. I'm going to fight those Greeks. I'm going to take Constantinople!"

In this way, Egil's next step for the Norman Empire was decided on a whim, or rather a long-planned (?) day.

The thousand-year-old imperial capital, the city that never falls, New Rome, Tsargrad, Constantinople...... It was once the economic and political center of the Western world. Even today, when the Eastern Roman Empire was in decline, it was one of the most important cities in the region. Constantinople was the next target of the Norman Empire......
