After three hours of fierce fighting, the Eastern Romans improvised gladiatorial slaves and three hundred royal guards. Such an army was victorious. The Vikings left behind thousands of corpses and fled in disarray. Looking at the devastated battlefield, Her Royal Highness Princess Lilianu waved the short sword in her hand and cheered loudly. Such emotions quickly infected the gladiators and the warriors of the Royal Guards. Moments later, at the north wall of Constantinople, cheers erupted.

"Two more days of siege. After that, he left. "After hearing the report of the pirates who had escaped. Field Marshal Carter sighed softly, knowing that it was unlikely that he would be able to make another difference on land. If you want to continue the siege of Constantinople, you must use naval superiority.

"Alright, let's wait until the evening. ”

After comforting the pirates, Marshal Carter made such a decision.

Night Raid.

At the very least, it would be said that all the docks and ports of the Golden Horn were burned down, so that it would be a great credit to be like the deterrent effect that Eda Egil had said.

Of course, Marshal Carter can think of this, and Her Royal Highness the Princess can naturally do it. After cheering with a kind of soldiers, Her Royal Highness took her subordinates to clean up the battlefield. Take the large amount of loot that the pirates didn't have time to take with them when they fled. After changing hands twice like this, Her Royal Highness took these things as ownerless stolen goods as a matter of course. Presumably, the blind guy won't come back to ask her.

After that, Her Royal Highness did not return to the city, but found a remote place in the wharf of the ruined Golden Horn, where ballistas could not hit it. After that, a combat meeting was held in a pretentious manner. Although, of course, it is said that it is a combat meeting. But in fact, only Her Royal Highness the princess is talking about it, and everyone else is the identity of the audience, so they can't help at all.

"I just looked at it from a distance. The other side has more than a hundred warships. And the number of troops is also more than expected. Therefore, the other party will definitely not be willing to fail like this. Definitely planning a new attack - the ballistae on the opposing ships are indeed very sharp. But it was wishful thinking to break through the walls of Constantinople with this. Therefore, it is likely that the target of the other side will still be at the Golden Horn pier. And given that the other side is a barbarian pirate without shame. So they will never follow the rules. That is, the enemy's attack, most likely, was placed at night. ”

After listening to Her Royal Highness the Princess's analysis, everyone was stunned, and they didn't want to agree to her at all. I knew that what I said was in vain. I couldn't help but roll my eyes.

"Anyway, listen to my orders, cheer up tonight, and stay up all night—and, you divide the loot from before. I don't want any of them. ”

After such an order was given, a burst of cheers erupted in the crowd. Immediately after that, the loot piled up like a hill was left in an instant.

In this way, the Vikings carried sulfur, fire oil and flint flammable materials off the ship, and quietly touched the docks of the Golden Horn, but when they were about to set fire, they were already ambushed by the gladiators and the Royal Foresters to wrap dumplings, and after a fierce battle, the original prepared fire was finally used on themselves, and the arson was changed to self-immolation...... So, another defeat. Marshal Carter was helpless. Remember, he was an admiral, a good admiral, experienced, scheming—but no one could fight a land war. It's a little pitiful.,There's no more than a night attack.,Sneak attack and the like.。 The Vikings were not regular infantry either. Not even a regular army. What they do best is the rough seas, on the bumpy decks, in the midst of the broadside battles. Or bully weak, and unprepared enemy garrisons on coastal land.

Instead of going head-to-head with the enemy in a land battle.

“...... Never mind. Let's go. If you stay here, you may have to suffer. Such fears of Marshal Carter are not unfounded. In fact, after Marshal Carter used the front foot to use the Dardanelles, Her Royal Highness Princess Liliano had already prepared the iron chain on the back foot, ready to have an iron lock across the river. Thanks to the marshal's speed, otherwise he would really be blocked in the Sea of Marmara and killed like a king.

In this way, for the time being, her Royal Highness watched the Norman navy fly away, and was stunned because the Vikings had not done their best. On that side, in northern Italy. The Norman reinforcements that the Pope had been calling for for a long time were finally belated...... It's here.

-- After the sacking of Venice again.

Again, it is because before the Norman-Burgundian army sacked Venice, Venice had already been sacked by the Roman army and the Venetian mob.

Of course, in terms of the end result of the matter, it's actually not a big deal. Because neither the Roman army nor the Venetian mob could escape in the end, the first thing the black-hearted Egil did after entering the chaotic Venice was neither to order the slaughter of the city three times to set an example, nor to follow the example of the Angel of Light to maintain order - but to control the north side of Venice and the two west gates of Venice and quickly run all over the docks of Venice, destroying all the big ships that could leave Venice.

In this way, all the sea and land routes were sealed, and the Venetians called heaven and earth not to be spiritual, and in the end they had to be slaughtered by Egil.

Therefore, whether it was a mob or a Roman rout, the treasure and loot that they had easily collected ended up cheapening Egil.

After that, I waited for the follow-up infantry to arrive. With enough men in Venice to take control, all the things he had envisioned could be realized. All the families of Venice were divided into three, six, nine and so on, even the slightly wealthier merchants. Egir, according to their degree of wealth, demanded that they hand over three-quarters, two-thirds, and one-half, respectively. This is the price of washing away the karma of sin. When the hypocritical Venetian merchants cried that they didn't have that much money at all, and that Egil was going to kill someone, Egil would take the merchants' belongings, merchant ships, and properties in other places. even hid the private money that his wife secretly saved...... Say them one by one. Let that businessman's heart beat faster, his heart rhythm is irregular, and he has a myocardial infarction. After that, he obediently handed over the money.

Egil was able to accomplish such a thing thanks to his new secretary, the heir of the Dandoro family, the son of the former Doge of Venice, and the candidate for the next Doge of Venice and the Duke of Venice himself.

After a successful escape from Venice the other day, the brain, catalyzed by the mood of revenge, quickly came up with the quickest and most effective way to revive the family business. After disembarking at a random port in northern Italy, Witte Dandoro rode on a fast horse to the Norman army, where he spent all his money on bribes, and finally met His Majesty King Egil. After that, he immediately handed over the information that his father had given him, and the other families in Venice.

Egil was stunned for a long time. It feels like it's really going to sleep on the pillow. Today I can be regarded as a lucky star. After repeatedly confirming the exact surname of this piece of information, Egil laughed and quickly recognized the appointment of Werther as his secretary, which was of course only a transitional title. Egil personally promised to support Witte as the new Doge of Venice after the capture of Venice.

And this time, Witte Dandoro, who betrayed all the Venetian nobles, wanted to continue to sit in the position of governor. He could only rely on Egil. This kind of relationship tied together by interests is more reliable than ordinary alliances based on religion, blood, or oaths. Egil was convinced that, also a Venetian, Witte would not let him down.

In this way, Venice was robbed for the second time. Extremely orderly, extremely civilized. Because of such a secret document, a lot of effort was saved, and the Norman army did not have to go door to door to rummage through boxes and cabinets, digging through the cracks to find the other party's treasure cellar. For ordinary citizens, there is no need to worry too much. For the total assets of the citizens of Venice were not more than half of those of the poorest of the great merchants.

It is a miracle that Egil was able to restore order to the city of Venice in the midst of such a robbery!

For half a month, Egil was robbing in Venice while restoring order - no, it should be more figurative with extortion. In fact, the Venetian aristocratic families did not think of sitting still. openly leading the rebellion, secretly bribing the assassins to assassinate, and openly and secretly not cooperating...... In the end, they were all killed by Egil.

Looking at the hundreds of bloody human heads, as well as Egil's command knife still dripping with blood, and the smiling appearance, the Venetian suddenly realized that what he was in front of was also a murderous demon king-level figure.

"I can make Venice a paradise or a hell, the choice is mine, not yours. Try to please me and don't make me angry. ”

The faint murderous aura in Egil's words, the evidence of a hundred human heads, and the knights of the guards in full plate armor, and the dubious warriors with two-handed axes, all proved that this Norman tyrant was not joking. He can say it, and he can do it.

The Venetians, silent......
