Kicked out the spy boss who didn't know when it started and became corrupt. Egil rubbed his temples and felt a slight headache.

If it was just a little bit of embezzlement of activity funds, the emperor would probably just turn a blind eye. Indulge this bastard a little. After all, he's counting on the dog to help him bite. But this guy did some terrible things that made Egil a little impatient with him.

"This man uses the authority of the word for personal gain—if that's all there is to it. I don't care. It's just that this person's eating appearance is unbearable. He uses the affiliates of the intelligence network, the integrated gangsters, to do a lot of disgusting business. Smuggling, human trafficking, kidnapping, extortion, etc., etc., etc., and of course, even more excessively, this bastard does not pay me taxes - and violates the imperial [***] law, and the money that is illegally obtained should be half of my own. ”

Once, the emperor complained to the eldest princess like this. At the end of the day, Aurora received a variety of amorous eyes and +5 contempt.

"Okay, okay. Egil shrugged: "In addition, violations of law and discipline, disruption of market order, and smuggling of materials from hostile countries infringe on national interests." These things are also noteworthy. This guy's organization, in a sense, has become a cancer in the empire. What I want is an intelligence system that can be found all over the world. I want an organ like the nervous system that can quickly transmit messages. It's not a criminal network that sucks on the Empire, it's not what I want. ”

"Then why don't you just kill him?" Egir began to discuss the matter. Aurora got serious, too. And then I said this, and it sounded very simple and straightforward.

Egil returned the favor with +5 disdain.

"It's so simple for you to be a spy network? Change people, change whom? If it's someone inside the system, it's a change of soup and not a change of medicine. If you parachute one, you have to endure the ineffective operation of the intelligence system, or even paralysis. and even the consequences of the collapse. If it weren't for this, all eight Nemulis would have died. Do you think I've got a good temper?"

"What then?" asked Aurora, hearing Egil say this.

"When the world is calm, it is time to unload the mill and kill the donkey. The emperor said with an oath.

“...... You're really direct. Listening to Egil say this, Aurora was a little speechless - of course, there was actually another reason why Egil didn't say it. During this era, the Norman emperors raised troops for nearly fifteen years. There were very few people who originally followed him. It's also a bit embarrassing to say.

Archbishop Peter was dissatisfied with his approach to the Holy See because of his political differences with Egir. In addition, he also withdrew from politics for the sake of self-preservation. Now lives a semi-secluded life inside the Krakow Cathedral. I can't wait to see each other. At the New Year's reception, the emperor met with him. The archbishop, who was once as strong as a cow, is now wrinkled and with age spots. I walked tremblingly. Seeing the emperor who was said to be authoritative, he didn't even dare to say much. There are no words except "yes yes, long live the emperor". It's pitiful.

Alpha, the death knight, verified the Norman Emperor's prophecy during the war between the empire and the Mongols. Died in the midst of the rebellion. Trampled into a pulp by the Mongol iron horsemen. The black iron armor on his body was torn apart. The swords and spears were taken away by the Mongols and turned into trophies. After the war, the corpses were collected, and only a few pieces of black steel were found. Nothing else. A generation of titans has fallen, leaving only a well-dressed grave in the Royal Military Cemetery on the outskirts of Krakow. and an epitaph written by the emperor himself: This is a strong knight, who was born and died for me.

Captain Robin Hood of the Longbowmen, because of the recent development of crossbows and artillery. At the same time, the heavy weight of the armor made the longbow less valuable and depressed. The body is getting worse and worse, and the spirit is also very bad. I had a serious illness a few years ago and almost died. Egil personally visited his home. At that time, Robin Hood, who was unconscious in the hospital bed, had already described himself as withered, and only a pair of bones were left in his emaciation. Where is there still a little bit of the appearance of a magic arrow general? Not to mention drawing a bow and shooting arrows, you can't even get out of bed and walk...... Clerk Talleyrand had just been promoted to viscount a few years ago. However, the knighthood has been raised. But the status has dropped a lot. After gaining access to the system, the emperor immediately replaced this scheming fellow with a group of loyal clerks and attendants. Looking back, it seems that I haven't seen him for a long time. The last time I got news from him, I happened to see a document "The public security environment in the capital has deteriorated, frustrated nobles are rampant, and they have violated laws and disciplines...... and the emperor seems to have approved a strict investigation. I don't know if it's closed or cut...... Admiral Carter died earlier, and when the Black Death struck, he contracted this incurable disease. After lying down, he couldn't get up again. The body was buried on the island of Malta for two years. The emperor specially arranged a cemetery for him. The birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the scenery is beautiful. For the rest of the Heroic Soul...... That's it. Nemulis became the only surviving general under the command of the Norman Emperor. For this reason. The Emperor didn't want to get him down casually. Instead, he wants to retire in a relatively peaceful way. So that everyone looks good.

During this period of time, the emperor also sent a lot of hints to this person openly and secretly. But I don't know for what reason. Is it really that I am dazzled by the right and I don't understand, or I have other plans. Nemulis did not submit his resignation on his own initiative, as Egil thought. As a result, the emperor's patience gradually disappeared...... He decided to do everything after he had done it (conquering the whole of the Western world, and once again crushing the Mongol invasion, giving the empire the upper hand in the contest with the East). And he gave Nemulis to commit suicide.

Well, now is not the time to say that. When the emperor was taken away by his spy chief, he got news from the East at the same time. The siege of Constantinople was still in full swing. The Normans tried everything they could to capture Constantinople. And the soldiers and civilians of Constantinople fought desperately to resist. The two sides fought inextricably.

After realizing that the continuous attacks of the Normans were trying to make their army fatigued and collapse without a fight. Empress Liliannu began to change her tactics. It took her some time. Nearly 300,000 inhabitants of Constantinople, men, women, and children, were combined, mixed with her 50,000 troops. Eight new corps were formed.

The Empress demanded that each of her legions be to fight for six hours without interruption. After six hours, they were replaced by new legions. This was done for two days to deal with the continuous attacks of the Normans.

In the first few days. There was a certain confusion in the newly formed regiments. And at night, because of physiological discomfort. The physical and emotional strength of the soldiers was also not very good. This allowed the Normans to seize the opportunity, gain a certain advantage, and achieve a small victory.

But then, in the second two days, the corps seemed to have mastered the trick a little. They played even better. Able to compete with the Normans. And in the third two days, and even sometimes, the army of Constantinople was able to gain a little upper hand. Of course, at that time, there will be some abnormal situations - for example, your own army suddenly becomes weak, and the morale of the army will drop inexplicably. Or maybe the fighting power of the Norman army suddenly increased. In this way, the little advantage that was before is quickly gone.

"However, if we continue to do so, we should be able to hold Constantinople. After ten days of fighting, Lilianu calculated. Found despite the fact that the Galata fort on the north side of the Golden Horn has fallen. The Golden Horn became almost a river for the Normans. On the north side of the city wall, one-third of the towers were occupied. Constantinople paid about thirty thousand casualties - however, the city - albeit battered and exhausted. But it remained in the hands of the Romans.

"Ahh......h If we continue to develop at this level, I will not be able to capture Constantinople. At the same time, the Norman Emperor, after considering the situation of the battle, lamented that the words were mostly similar, but the content was completely opposite.

"What is going to be done?" said Egil. Artoria, Basumi, and Printhia sitting next to him, as well as Maria and Sonia standing next to him, all turned to look at him. And Aien, who was lying on his knees and breathing, also raised his head in response to the occasion.

Speaking of which, while the talents and generals around Egil continue to wither, there are more and more women around him......" Speaking of which, Aurora also began to urge. Logistical difficulties are starting to arise. It's almost unsupportable. If it continues like this. We're going to go hungry. Egil continued: "And General Wende in the Kazan region has also sent information that the Mongols are afraid that they will launch another expedition. I'm afraid they won't be able to hold it anymore. ”

"So?" said Artoria, nervous and anxious at the word "hungry."

"So...... Someone has just reported that Constantinople has sent another emissary to negotiate peace with us. Do you think it's better for us to chop off his head, or to fry him in a pan?"
