===========================================================
In fact, at this moment, Ivanov's role in the script is gone. Egil was just trying to get him up at first. The rest of the matter will be left to the Norman spies. In fact, Norman spies were not allowed to play in the first place, just because this kind of thing should have been said by the Rus' themselves at the beginning. But that's about it. Egil didn't want to make him more useful.
However, Ivanov's brain is really, very, very flexible, although Egil did not tell him to keep going. But seeing the smile on Egil's lips, he understood what Egil really meant. He immediately jumped down from the table, fell on his knees in front of Egil, and persuaded him again.
"Your Majesty the Tsar - if you do not accept the position of Tsar, what will happen to this Eastern Europe, the world?
"Gentlemen, this is to fall into the land of injustice!" said Egil, looking up to the sky and giving in for the third time. The Rus' people looked left and right, and finally saw Ivanov kneeling on the ground alone, but Egil was indeed plural. I don't know how the Norman emperor's eyes grew......
However, at this moment, the Rus nobles did not know what to do. At this moment, there are some people with higher IQs who have figured out the trick. Naturally, he didn't want Egil to claim the Rus Tsar. However, looking around, I don't know when they came, the Norman soldiers standing in a circle around them, all armored, and the tomahawks in their hands, stared at them one by one with bad intentions. There must be something wrong with it, and the axe is about to cut at them......
"Damn it. I didn't expect this guy to set up a ...... here."
For a time, the vast majority of the Rus' nobles understood what was going on. It was known that this was a banquet set up by Egil, which was arranged to force them to elect Egil as the Tsar of Rus. If you don't agree, then your life will be in danger.
"Your Majesty's rule is comparable to Solomon's, and his martial arts are far superior to Alexander's. The Rose Tsar of the Jin Dynasty is a matter of course!"
"Your Majesty doesn't come out, what can the common people do?!"
"Your Majesty has made a decision early!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
So, under the coercion of the burly Norman warriors behind them, one by one the Rus' nobles had to say such things against their will in order to survive, and kneel on one knee like Ivanov before, as a proof that they had sworn allegiance to Egil.
"Alas...... I'm really, but it's hard to be gracious. Egil shook his head, and then took two steps forward, the first to lift Ivanov, and then to the Rus' nobles one by one. Archbishop Peter stepped forward immediately, and several equally burly priests from the Field Order came over with golden wine glasses filled with spirits, which had already been prepared. And he slew one of the chosen white lambs, and mixed the blood into the wine.
"Take your vows in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit under the gaze of God. Peter, with a solemn and holy face, said.
At this moment, the Rus' nobles have completely lost their minds. I knelt before and swore an oath. So one by one, they swore to the icon of Jehovah with the same solemnity and sanctity - that although the Catholic Orthodox doctrine is different, the boss of worship is the same.
In this way, seeing that these Rus nobles drank blood wine one by one, the death knight Alpha came out again, holding a parchment scroll, hoping that the nobles would make a handprint and be a witness.
The Rus' nobles were a little dissatisfied. I drank my own blood wine, and I made an oath, so what's the matter, I still have to sign a deed of sale? One by one, they were a little hesitant and didn't want to do it, but in the end Ivanov stepped forward and read the document aloud. When the Rus' nobles heard this, there was not only the matter of electing Egil as the Rus' Tsar, but also the matter of determining the territory of these nobles, talking about the territories and titles of the Rus' nobles, which were hereditary from generation to generation, and the Egil Tsar would definitely not let them suffer. ,
This is a standard, according to the system of rights and obligations of feudal lords, some originally unwritten rules are all standardized, and written into written documents. The Rus nobles thought for a moment. In this case, it seems that this document does not have much inconvenience with itself, but rather takes advantage of itself. And I've sworn it, so it's okay to sign it again.
So the Rus nobles stepped forward to sign, and of course there were more illiterate guys, who dipped their handprints in the ink. Seeing this scene, Egil was quite moved, and unconsciously made up his mind into a group of poor middle peasants in ragged clothes, where he borrowed usury from the landlord according to his fingerprint......
"It's shocking. ”
For a while, Egil felt that he was a little moved: What is history? This is history! Thousands of years later, there will inevitably be a painter who will restore this famous scene in oil painting and nominate it as "The aristocrats nominated Egil as the Tsar." After that, the auction of tens of billions of Norman dollars.
Of course, Egil was not visible on this day.
Probably.
A little sad, coupled with the level of handsomeness to narcissism, Egil feels that he has become more and more literary recently.
"Alas...... This is the so-called genius. ”
"Genius, your sister!" said Aurora.
After that, this group of Rus' nobles was detained by Egil in the small city of Gomery, and they were served with good food and drink every day, but they were not allowed to leave. It is said that it will wait until the Norman Empress Artoria comes, and then officially ascend the throne as the Rus' Tsar, and then it will be done.
Speaking of which, this is also Egil's pampering of Artoria. I felt that the last time I was crowned emperor in Rome, his Hani was far away from thousands of mountains and rivers, so he couldn't participate, and he was the queen, but he couldn't participate in the emperor's coronation, which was too aggrieved for Artoria. And this time, although Artoria is still in Krakow. But Krakow is not very far from Gomeli, and I believe that Artoria will be able to get there in a few days with the momentum of catching the traitors back then. Although Egil felt that the title of Tsar of Rus' did not have the same gold content as the Norman emperor. But it can be regarded as a little compensation for Artoria.
In this way, Egil's army was joined by a large number of Rus' nobles under house arrest, as well as a growing army of Rus' - some of them relatives recruited by the Rus' nobles, and some of them who had actually come to Egil. On the way, Egil also wrote to his Hani, asking Artoria to leave the three garrison legions, as well as the two hussar corps, in order to maintain order in Poland, and she herself came to Kiev with her army to make peace with Egil, and then attend the coronation.
Two days later, Egil continued his southward march with an army of 80,000 men, and the city of Kiev was taken down without bloodshed. Immediately afterwards, Egil made a statement and demanded that the Rus' nobles in southern Ukraine and the Rus' nobles in northern Belarus gather in Kiev to participate in his coronation.
At this moment, Egil thought about it, and the news that he was going to be crowned Tsar of Rus' should have begun to spread. After a while, Catherine II, the Grand Duchess of Moscow, and Basil II, Emperor of Eastern Rome, will be able to get such news...... I just don't know how they're going to respond.
Most likely, they chose to fight me. Egil chuckled. "But so what? Moscow is not enough to defend itself against the attacks of the Cumans, and the Eastern Romans, after the previous Crusader Wars and the Great War with the Ottoman Turks, must have weakened a lot, and it is okay if he does not come." If I dare to come, I will settle the old score with him in Budapest last year!"
At this time, Egil was very confident, believing that with his elite troops that had undergone military reform, coupled with the Celtic army, and the hundreds of thousands of elite troops that integrated Eastern Europe, he would definitely be able to defeat the Eastern Roman Empire, which had experienced two major battles in a row and suffered heavy losses. It would even be better if it could get the title of Caesar from the Eastern Roman Empire, and intervene in the internal affairs of the Eastern Roman Empire, or cede a few islands in the Aegean Sea or the Mediterranean, or obtain the right to free passage through the Dardanelles.
But Egil was a little worried—for some reason, his Hani, the Norman queen and queen of Britain, Artoria, had not arrived after nearly ten days of his dove on his flying. It stands to reason that Artoria is not such a grinding person.
So, thinking of this, Egil was a little uneasy, and took out the reply letter that Artoria had written to him a few days ago:
It said that she had disbanded most of the army according to Egil's orders, and the Celtic army had lost a lot of losses in a major battle, so it did not move for the time being. She herself came with more than 400 faster, javelin-armed Celtic hussars, and unarmored heavy cavalry.
The letter said that she had traveled nearly half the way, and now that the weather was clear, nothing special had happened. I believe that it will be able to feel it in a day or two. and instructed Egil to prepare a beautiful crown and clothes as gifts to make her look more beautiful at the coronation.
But now, more than two days or two have passed. Artoria still hadn't arrived, and Egil was getting more and more restless......
