Indeed, these were Norman spies from the second and newest intelligence department of the Norman Empire, the intelligence department headed by Sonia - but Egir waited for some time and did not see any movement from the Cossacks.

I sent another spy to gather information. Pugachev was found to be in a state of panic, with only fear and no anger. It doesn't look like it's going to rebel -- how can this be done? Isn't this a way to make His Majesty the Emperor unable to step down? No, absolutely not. So Egil had another plan. It was decided to send spies, posing as Arab emissaries, to persuade Pugachev to rebel. Those things before, whether it's a ring or a bill. They are all well-made fakes.

And the Norman spies were as good as ever—although this time it was not the Norman spy system that terrified the surrounding countries and kept them awake at night. Rather, it was the discredited Norman Intelligence Section. But the skills and skills of the Norman spies are all in the same vein. They don't think their immediate boss is stupid and they are weakened. In the end, he succeeded in fooling Pugachev and strengthened his determination to fight against the Norman Empire on a path of self-destruction.

That's it.

When the spies returned, Egil met them and gave them rich rewards and compliments. Sonia was also pleased to see the exploits of her subordinates. And Egil's reward for Sonia is "beep", "beep" and "beep". It's just that it looks like Sonia is a little overwhelmed again...... Sure enough, after exchanging the high-level "beep" ability, Egil's combat effectiveness has been greatly improved, and it is not something that can be satisfied by one person.

It's just that there is another thing that makes Egir a little distressed. He had been in a relationship with a plurality of girls for some time - but two of them could not have children. The remaining three, Sonya, Maria and Nightingale, are due to identity reasons, and the legitimacy of giving birth to children will be very low. So Egil was very careful when he was "beeping" with them - Sonia and Maria didn't know, and they just wondered why their stomachs still didn't react at all after so long. However after every time I did it with Nightingale. Looking at the nurse who looked very resentful because she had ejaculated, Egil felt a lot of pressure.

"Well, isn't it time to reconsider the question of the heir?" said Egil with a slight headache. It seems that now, there are no good candidates around me. It's the kind that can give birth to children, and the identity is also good, and both parties still have an emotional foundation...... Huh. Wait a minute, it doesn't seem like nothing......

"What do you want?"

"Well, actually, just before, I suddenly came up with a very good plan - marry you, and then find someone to cut that kid down. Then beep you until pregnant. and make our children heirs. In this case, there will be no problem with the moral and emotional aspects - sister. Let's have a baby, preferably a woman—"

"--You go to die!"

So, this time it was Aurora who actively blocked the connection with Egil.

Okay, okay, okay, there's no need to worry about this kind of thing for the time being, Egil is only twenty-one years and nine months old now. Still young - in the Celestial Empire of the last world, it was not even the legal age of marriage. Just step up a little bit, it's time to pay attention to finding the right fertility machine.

After that, Aurora didn't talk to Egil for a long time, and Egil didn't take the initiative to contact her. In the end, Aurora couldn't help it. Took the initiative to provoke the topic - in the beginning, it was all serious business or something. But after two days it was back to normal. Egil didn't care, and said it as long as it hadn't happened. However, what he said about this matter made Aurora take it to heart......

So, time blink of an eye to September. The spies entered Kherson with good news. And on the southern coast of Syria, the actions of the Norman fleet and hussars were re-energized. The Norman army in Kherson was another 40,000 less. Now by Egil's side. There are less than 10,000 soldiers left.

Other countries. The European countries that decided to join the ranks of this crusade have also fully completed their mobilization and assembly at this moment. I began to find my way to the Holy Land.

As Egil had imagined, the Spanish Trio were now busy with the Reconquista, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to gain a little more ground in Iberia. And the Papal States is only blowing nonsense, and not a single soldier has been mobilized. Philip of France, Albert of Austria, and Henry of Swabia could not trust Egil, so they did not advance towards Kherson. Willing to pay a fortune to hire the fleets of Venice and Milan - Albert was a little better. After all, he is the nominal suzerain of the Grand Duke of Milan. So it didn't cost much to send the Milanese ships - and Philip, who was on board the Venetian fleet, had almost all the coffins fitted. ...,

But. Although this fox has spent a lot of unjust money, it is very high in nature. Perhaps it was because after military reform that the French army was considered invincible. The reason why he was able to plunder more wealth from the Holy Land than he had put into it...... Egir cursed in his heart that the fleet of the Graceful Ark would have been blown away in a storm, and that it would have been better for them all to be sunk. Fall into the sea to feed the king......

In this way, Egil calculated that a total of four countries were only nominally involved in the crusade. And two countries have their own fleets, and three countries can't trust themselves - then, the next ones can come to Kherson. These are the five countries or territories of Burgundy, Brandenburg, Hesse, Bavaria and Hungary.

"Is that a kind of taking sides?" thought Egil. And made up his mind to win over the kings and dukes of these five countries. Let them support themselves to take control of this crusade. to facilitate Egil's movements.

"If only it could be in this crusade. Identify some kind of system dominated by the empire - and even leave the Holy See behind and start anew. It would be great to have an alliance of secular monarchies. "Egil is also very calculating. Regain Jerusalem and become a hero to save the Holy Land, so as to subdue the royal families of Europe and make them recognize themselves as allies. Silence the whole continent - and ask them not to do anything in the future confrontation with the Mongol Empire. Just don't pull your own hind legs.

The more Egil thought about it, the more likely it became. So he kept writing to the two kings and the three dukes, keeping in touch with them. And hopefully, after they arrive in Kherson, they will be able to make an alliance with themselves. and vaguely revealed his desire to be the leader of the alliance.

After that, Egil received replies one after another, except for the old slippery head of Henry the Lion, who was vague, the other four European princes all expressed their support for his proposal - Charles the Bold of Burgundy, an old ally of the Norman Empire, was able to obtain the title of king also thanks to Egil's help, and even more relied on the Norman Empire to help them deal with France, which is now a good national recovery. Hesse and Brandenburg in North Germany were afraid of the Norman Empire's military might and relied on trade with the Norman Empire. Hungary is even more in ruins and tattered. If it weren't for the help and relief of the Norman Empire, it would have collapsed long ago......

Therefore, these four countries will definitely support Egil. Egil has that confidence.

As for the other countries involved in the crusade, Austria, Swabia and France, it is already certain that they are rivals. He would certainly not approve of Egil as the leader of the alliance. A Dharma King and a HRE Emperor still have some weight...... It's just that the satellite of Albert of Austria is not as high as his predecessor, and his influence on the domestic princes is limited. Otherwise, it would be useless for Egil to be the commander of this crusade......

Except for the four who would definitely support him, and the three who would certainly not support him, there were only three guys who did not know what their attitude would be - Henry of Bavaria, Witte Dandoro, the governor of Venice, and Francis Sforza, Duke of Milan.

These three guys are all people with ambiguous attitudes. Among them, Henry of Bavaria was cunning and cunning. Relying on a war between the Norman and the Holy Roman Empire to usurp the title of Duke of Bavaria, Egil indirectly owes Egil a favor - but it is also quite close to Austria. The Holy Roman Emperor Albert also had a lot of knowledge about Bavaria - but this time, Henry did not follow Albert and went south to Milan to rent a ship, but accepted Egil's invitation to go to Kherson......

"Do you want to be left and right? you damn bastard...... You're not so much a lion as an old fox - no, it's a catfish that doesn't let go of your hands......" That's what Egir said about Henry.

"It's like there's no point in enveloping him like that. But as long as the price is right, you can make an agreement with him. ”

So, Egil's plan against Henry had already been decided. It is to give him real benefits.

And the other two Italian countries. The Doge of Venice, Witte Dandoro, was given the position of Doge with the support of Egil. But in recent years, with the strengthening of the trading power of the Norman Empire in the Mediterranean. It has seized a lot of market share that originally belonged to Venice. The citizens and parliamentarians of Venice did not like the Normans, the vast empire of the monarchy. In the final analysis, he, the Doge of Venice, still has to rely on the Venetians to do it. So Egil doesn't have much hope for this guy......

"For this guy, while luring, you have to coerce. Egil muttered to himself. It is believed that under the coercion and temptation of the Norman Empire, the Venetians will also surrender.

"Then only Milan remains......" Egil thought about this, but he was a little distressed. Because Egil has not dealt with the Duke of Milan Sforza, although there is also a lot of intelligence that can be analyzed, but after all, it is all second-hand, and it is inevitable that there will be some deviations.
