When Saladin's headless body slowly fell to the ground, the battle was over, so to speak. &*..Fastest Update** Although it is said that the defeat of Jerusalem is something to celebrate. But thinking about the aftermath of this series of aftermaths, as well as the Mongol Iron Cavalry that he was about to face, Egil felt a little uncomfortable.

Therefore, he decided to put an end to the battle in Jerusalem in the simplest way, half a year.

After Saladin's death, the remaining Arab armies either surrendered or failed to break through and were killed. Or stubbornly resist. Eventually, it took nearly two months for the Crusaders to enter Jerusalem and kill all the Arab soldiers lurking in Jerusalem.

Well, well, Egil admits, it's nothing more than an excuse. The Arab soldiers who really had the will to resist were killed in the first half a month. The rest are cowards, or civilians, who have lost the will to resist.

But so what? Egil just wanted to end the crusade with a hearty massacre. The unimaginable number of corpses hung on the crosses - tens of thousands, perhaps more than 200,000 crosses - the Crusaders eventually destroyed their siege machinery...... This made the Europa countries that wanted to get two building cars and ladder trucks to study and study very disappointed.

However, hundreds of thousands of people were crucified, and the huge group of crosses formed did look spectacular. For Egil, at least, the effort was worth it.

After two months of frenzied looting and massacres, Jerusalem felt like a dead city. There is no human population at all. And the violently oppressive aura, as well as the terrifying empty city, made the bravest soldiers dare not enter again. The crusader camp was still outside the city.

After this, Egil gave the next order. Incineration. As before that, he said, to purify the whole holy city with fire. In the end, not even the Holy Sepulchre's Cathedral was spared. Egil declared that since it had been occupied by pagans, the so-called sacredness was empty talk. The tomb of Jesus Christ is located underground, so it can be protected from burning. So it's not a big deal, just do it boldly.

However, this matter that Egil took for granted was opposed by many people, even on his own side, not everyone in the Norman Empire supported such a crazy move by the emperor - the Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre has existed since the Roman Empire. Such a cathedral that has existed for hundreds of years. Once the seat of the Archbishop of Jerusalem, it is a holy place in the hearts of countless Christians. It's crazy.

Although Egil has explained it very clearly - or rather, he thinks he has explained it very clearly. The Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre has been occupied by heresies and has been desecrated. Then it can no longer bear the glory of Jesus Christ. It had to be purified by fire - after which it would be necessary to build a better one.

And Egil's sister, the Norman princess Aurora, did not agree with Egil's behavior. "How can this be said to be the same thing?! It's as if someone else killed your wife and helped you marry a more virtuous and beautiful one. You're going to be able to share his heart and even be grateful to him?!

"Yes, isn't that what Song Jiang did in the Water Margin?!" Egil said confidently.

"Don't mention that kind of book about scum and bandits!" Aurora heard Egil's mouth, and became even more angry: "When the Arabs occupied Jerusalem, and then it was recaptured by the Crusaders, didn't the Crusaders have no intention of burning the Cathedral of the Holy Sepulchre?

"Hmm......" Egil pondered for a few minutes. Then he replied, "Because there is no emperor as great as me?"

"Die, narcissist!"

And just like that, a fire. A thousand-year-old city, the holy land of the three religions, was reduced to ashes in this way. The Crusader soldiers usually killed people and set fires, but this was the first time that such a city had been burned. Many soldiers looked at the crosses outside the city, at Jerusalem, which was engulfed in flames. I can't help but ask myself: In this way, can we really go to heaven?

The monarchs of other continental European countries did not agree too much with Egil's insistence on showing tyranny, even Burgundy, Hesse, Brandenburg and Hungary, which were close to the Norman Empire, and the monarchs of these countries were not used to Egil's domineering.

Or maybe he thought that under his leadership there had been a great victory, a successful restoration of the Holy Land. He can do whatever he wants?!" Behind the scenes, King Philip of France said to others more than once: "This emperor has all regarded us as his ministers, right?!"

In fact, this is exactly what happened. A hearty battle destroyed a large empire in less than a year, whose territory was not inferior even to that of Eastern Rome. Conquer the Holy Land of Jerusalem. All these feats made Egil a little fluttery. The fear of Mongolia kept the emperor awake at night. Because of the joy and pride of victory and merit, and the fear of the unknown. It made the emperor even more and more crazy.

I hope I can burn something, I hope I can destroy something. I hope to be able to soothe my spirits. Give yourself a little comfort. Do something to let yourself know that you are strong.

In such a mood, the tyrant rejected all the proposals. Determined to burn Jerusalem. And in the end, he did just that—though he was unhappy with what Egil had done, but when he gave such an order, no one dared to say anything against it to his face.

Flames soar into the sky. It was accompanied by a large amount of fire oil, a large amount of sulfur, saltpeter, hay and other flammable materials that were spilled into the city. and the extremely dry climate around Jerusalem, which does not rain all year round, and the fires in Jerusalem can never be stopped as soon as they burn. And with this fire, Egil's fame also reached a new level. The fire, the death of Saladin, the king of the desert, and the restoration of the Holy Land, quickly spread throughout Europe with the return of a large number of spontaneously organized Christian crusades.

"The Emperor...... It's ...... Simply ......"

When the people listened in amazement to the exaggerated words of the Crusaders who had personally participated in the battle, they found that they could not find a word to describe their mood at the moment. There was no word to describe how they felt about Egil.

Heroes, saints, conquerors, emperors, tyrants, blasphemers, murderers, madmen?

Maybe it's all there. Perhaps if you put these titles together, it will be Egil. In Italy, in Greece, the most brilliant scholars, those who knew everything from Greece to Rome to the Dark Ages, were finally discussed and studied. It was eventually decided to create a new adjective, "Egil", to describe Egil specifically.

"Indeed, I can't think of anything else in this world that could be used to describe that emperor other than this word. At that time, the Greek princess Lilianu, who was fighting against the Turks in Annatoria, heard what Egil had done, and then said this. The quirky princess wasn't like everyone else, with mixed feelings about what Egil had done. Rather, look at him in a completely positive light. ...,

"Or maybe I should find a time, an opportunity, to burn down a city or two to raise awareness. Lilianu thought.

The fire in Jerusalem burned for four days and showed no signs of being extinguished. And many of the spontaneously organized crusaders have already returned home. The armies of the European continent nations were also tired of fighting. Prepare to go back to your hometown. However, powerful kings like Basil or Philip were still not reconciled. Unwilling to be robbed of all the benefits by Egil and the Normans. They also want to get some land in Palestine. Or Egypt, or Syria - in short, they don't want to go home empty-handed. Despite the looting in the Holy Land, it was enough for a return ticket.

And Egil is even more so. He shook the administration of the newly conquered lands and populations. These lands should be divided among the right people. Other, more important places were to be under the direct jurisdiction of the Norman Empire. In addition to this, the so-called "Persian army" that appeared on the periphery of Babylon also needed to obtain further information in order to respond to it.

Big votes are waiting for Egil to do. The emperor was physically and mentally exhausted - this was not something that could be solved by a fire. Egil had a headache. So, he decided to have some fun with himself to relieve his stress.

"Am I great?"

Standing on the only building that had not been demolished, Egil held his binoculars and looked at the city of Jerusalem, which was still burning in the distance, before turning to his general, smiling, and asking his general.

“...... Yes, it is. The commander of the Norman Empire's firearms unit, General Basumi lowered his head, not daring to look into Egil's gaze. At the same time, he replied.

"You, afraid of me?" asked Egil, smiling as he approached Asami.

"I didn't ...... No. "Although on the battlefield, it is not that he has not killed people. I've seen a lot of bloody scenes. But Asami has never been so scared as she is now, and she regrets it a little now. Who knows what this emperor was doing in the middle of the night when he called himself over in the middle of the night? If it had been before Egil burned Jerusalem, she still felt some longing for this emperor. But after this incident, Asami felt more fear for Egil......
