Chapter 6 Egil, Emperor
"Well answered, my child, Innocent III, nodded, and then raised the crown in his hand: "With the authority bestowed upon me by the Father, as a follower of Jesus Christopus and the successor of St. Peter, I hereby declare that I canonize Egilskadra Grímsson as the Emperor of the North, who is unique in the world, rich in power and territory, prestige and honor, all, everything, and everything." His surname, Skadergrímsson, was used as the honorific title of the new emperor. Heaven and man learn from each other. ”
After solemnly saying all this, Innocent III also completely ignored the stunned crowd and others. Slowly, ready to put the crown in his hand on Egil's head.
"Wait" At this moment, among the spectators, an envoy of the Holy Roman Empire finally couldn't stand it...... Because Egil's "Emperor of the Northerners" sounds much better than the "Emperor of the Romans" of the Holy Roman Empire, and the so-called Skadra Grímsson as an honorific title does he want to compare himself to Augustus?
However, before this guy could speak, he just spit out a syllable slightly, slightly, and then the Norman spies who had been staring at him next to him immediately moved their hands, directly covered their mouths, and quickly dragged the messenger, as well as his entourage and companions, down. The spies moved lightly, barely making any sound, and when the other guests looked curiously, they found that there was no one in the place, and they couldn't help but wonder if they had heard it wrong.
The Holy Seat of the Emperor of the Sect in the middle of the Imperial Hall waited for a moment, but it was not as he imagined, and someone stopped him, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised...... Originally, he was ready to disrupt the coronation ceremony so that the Norman emperor could not come down. He should be a peacemaker and go up to help Egil speak, so that the new emperor will be disappointed, and the plot of his own long face has not happened?! What the hell is going on?! Over there, Egil couldn't kneel, and when he saw the Emperor looking around, he suddenly understood, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he whispered a reminder in a voice that only two people could hear: "Holy See, what are you expecting?" Hearing this, the Holy Seat of the Holy Seat immediately understood the current situation. looked at it again, but found that in the Imperial Palace, there were mostly Normans. Those who don't know how to get in, staring at the guests, as if they are going to make a move at any moment, you don't have to guess to know that it is Norman's spy.
Innocent III was suddenly angry enough, and then looked down at Egil, only to find that the Norman quasi-emperor was smiling, Innocent III had a preconceived idea, and immediately understood the emperor's smile as mockery. At that time, there was an impulse to smash the iron crown in his hand and let the little white-faced emperor open his head.
In the end, however, the Emperor chose forgiveness. Keep your hands steady...... It should be said that since entering old age, he has never been so stable, and put a crown of steel on Egil's head.
"Bless you, my child. The Emperor took a step back, then put his hands on his feet, and Egil stood up.
"Bless you too, Holy See. ”
Both of them smiled very weakly, then hugged and bowed, and then laughed heartily, holding hands and standing together, of course, if you look closely, you can see that His Majesty Egil is standing a little bit in front of the injured - and then beckoning to the crowd below.
"10,000 years old!10,000 years old Normandiliche country!!10,000 years old Egilskadragrímsson!! The crowd erupted in earth-shattering cheers. In an instant, it was as if a spoonful of frying oil had been added to boiling water. The crowd, the people, all the people seemed to be crazy, with all the strength of their bodies, desperately screaming. It's almost like tearing down the ceiling of the Imperial Pavilion......
"Normans, we have been fighting for nearly four years, from the ice and snow to the vast grasslands. In the end, we finally succeeded! We created a new Imperial State! a European empire, the most powerful imperial kingdom!!"
Egil was also extremely excited, four years, nearly four years after coming to this world, all this finally paid off! Now he has finally come to this point! Thousands of people! Eternal glory enveloped his body, and Egil was completely intoxicated with a great sense of joy. I couldn't stop laughing. ,
"Your Majesty Egil is long live!
"No, it's the ruler of the whole world of Europa, Asia, and Africa!!"
"The Ruler of the World!"
"His Majesty the Emperor is ten thousand years old!"
In such a frenzied atmosphere, the Normans roared almost madly, telling the glory of the past and the inevitable path of the future...... The whole world, under the leadership of Egir, the Normans are no longer satisfied with the barren England and the bitter cold Scandinavia, more people, more wealth! more, more everything! Under the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor Egir, the invincible Norman army will complete the conquest of the Great Land. Defeat all obstacles and spread the glory of the Norman Empire throughout the world!
"Turn the Mediterranean Sea into an inland lake of the Imperial Kingdom!!"
"Rule all the lands under the shadow!"
"Kill all the heretics!!"
And in the midst of such ecstasy and euphoria, the Holy Seat of the Emperor of the Church took a few steps back, hiding his figure in the shadows that the light could not reach, and at the same time looked coldly at the group of wild Normans with a gaze that was absolutely not in keeping with such a festive atmosphere.
"Conquest...... It's absolutely impossible. The one who can control Europa will eventually make the faith admire, the theocracy, and the wind...... Heaven on earth. Innocent III said this to himself in his heart. And calmly watched the reactions of these people. After the initial pleasure, it was not long before the representatives of the various nationals from Italy, France, Iberia and, above all, Germany began to fall into unease. Looks like they've got it, too. The Normans, the power of these powerful warriors from the northern land of wind and snow, must have been understood by many people......
Then, although the pre-arranged thing at the coronation did not happen, but on second thought, it seems to be a good thing."
Finally, Innocent III also smiled.
And at this moment, Egil, who was still immersed in joy, did not care about the Holy See - he had crowned himself completely...... He's useless—useless stuff is garbage.
So, how can a great emperor value a piece of garbage? Even the most honorable piece of garbage is still a piece of garbage.
At this time, at the signal of His Majesty the Emperor Egil, four knights of the guard stepped forward quickly, and then each of them unfurled a special banner made of a new rectangular fence with a corner. The crowd erupted in exclamation.
"This is the new banner of the Imperial Kingdom!" said Egil, pointing to the flag: the four-winged, three-clawed, two-color phoenix banner.
The four wings symbolize the four major bodies of water of the Arctic Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean. The three claws are the three great lands of Europa, Asia, and Africa. Bi-colored, black underside symbolizes the ocean, and white phoenix symbolizes landing...... This is our banner, the banner of our Normans!" Egil declared, "the banner of the great phoenix that bears the glory of the Normans!"
On both sides of the flag, two Norman phrases are delicately sewn with gold thread on a black background, on the left: Possession of the sea, and on the right: Conquest of the land.
"The great banner represents the great imperial kingdom, and the will of the great emperor!" said Egil, thus announcing the atmosphere of the whole coronation ceremony! The Norman Empire has been established! The Norman Empire has been established!
Egir was in great spirits, and after cheering, he was surrounded by the crowd and walked out of the Imperial Palace, mounted his horse, and began to parade through the city of Rome. The banner was also held flat by the knights, following behind Egil.
The crowd, a large number of young girls and girls who had already been prepared, climbed to the houses on both sides of the road with baskets full of flower petals, cheered and threw flower petals to the ground. The whole city is filled with the scent of flowers, and it is like a fairyland...... like a fairyland.
On October 3, 1003, the Norman Empire was established, and the founding king Egilskadra Grímsson was proclaimed emperor, and the capital was Gothburg, with St. Petersburg, London, and Hamburg as the accompanying capital, and the four-winged and three-clawed two-color phoenix flag as the national flag. At this point, the huge imperial kingdom in the north of Europa was officially formed, and its politics, economy, military, and culture surpassed the kingdoms of Europa. In particular, the vigorous ambition shown by the emperor of the imperial kingdom made the surrounding countries extremely uneasy.
Among them, Frederick, the Holy Roman Emperor, was the most violent, openly declaring that Egil's position as emperor was incorrect, and he was called a false emperor. While denouncing the encroachment of the Norman kingdom, he also expressed indignation at the forcible encroachment of the Holy Roman Empire by the royal kingdom.
"There is only one emperor in the whole of Europa, and that is the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire! There is no other nation, no people, and anyone who is qualified and capable can call himself emperor - those who usurp the title of emperor are the greatest provocation to the Holy Roman Empire!
On October 7, 1003, Frederick declared war on the Norman Empire after receiving the news of the establishment of the Norman Empire...... )
