The so-called Arab League, which is now considered by the short-sighted Esby royal family in Europe, is the Ottoman Turkey, which occupies half of Asia Minor, plus Georgia, Chechnya and other regions, and the Egyptian Caliphate Sultanate, which occupies the Arabian Peninsula and upper and lower Egypt. Of course, Egil would not be so vulgar. Egil was more tasteful than they were, and Egil also knew a Khorezm, or Timurid Khanate.
In the entire Arab League, these three giants are all the choice of the moment, the dragon and the phoenix among the people, and they have fought each other several times, with wins and losses, but no one can help anyone. They are also familiar with each other and admire each other. The same goes for religious beliefs. So he knocked his head on the ground, Taoyuan three knots, and escorted Tang Seng Xitian to learn scriptures......
The Timurid Khanate is currently expanding in Central Asia, so I don't need to worry about him for the time being. And the Ottomans and the Eastern Romans have been pulling eggs for hundreds of years. No one can help anyone, and the nations of Europe are happy to see the excitement, and heretics are certainly hateful, and heretics are not very good. Let the two of them dog-eat-dog-eat.
Therefore, the nations of Europe were not very enthusiastic about the great cause of the brothers of Christ against the pagan devil - what really worried them was something else, that is, the navy mentioned earlier.
The reason why the entire Arab League is said to be "one" naval power is that in addition to these three powerful Muslim regimes, there are also a large number of small countries that believe in Islam along the entire North African coast, and most of the territories of these countries are covered by the yellow sand desert, so the products are not abundant, and the people are brave and ruthless.
However, piracy is not an easy industry, and the same is piracy, and Vikings are free to crisscross the North Sea. But it's because there is no naval power in the north except for themselves. It's not the same in the south. Whether it is Venice or Genaya, they all have extremely strong naval strength, especially **, the galleys can accommodate thousands of navies, like a fortress-like sea giant, two or three ships can beat the pirates like harvesting crops.
As a result, the pirates found themselves a backstage, that is, Ottoman Turkey, and the Turkish Sultan Suleiman was also a hero. Knowing that the Turks on their side are skilled in bows and horses, and proficient in land warfare. But naval warfare is a different art. As a result, the Imperial fleet was often beaten by its old enemy, the Eastern Romans, to the point that Allah did not recognize it. To the extreme annoyance of the Sultan. This group of Barbary pirates, who were proficient in naval warfare, came to defect, and it was exactly what the Sultan could not ask for. Suleiman personally received the pirate leader Hizl Reis, named him Hyreddin, canonized him as the Marshal of the Imperial Navy, spent a lot of money to build a new navy, and promised him the Aegean Islands, including Herakrion, as fiefs if he could "let Turkey dominate the Mediterranean".
With the strong support of the Ottoman Turks, the Barbary pirates gradually recovered and became stronger, and Hayreddin also took the opportunity to gain access to North Africa, Algiers, and Tripoli (present-day Libya), ousting the kings of these three countries, and was canonized by Suleiman as the imperial governor of these three places. Thanks to the efforts of this group of Barbary pirates, Turkey's naval power was finally strengthened, and it gradually became a new and later in the Mediterranean.
Of course, you, that's not the point, the point is that these unscrupulous bastards even dare to rob Egil's ship. The Viking merchants were merchants when they picked up an abacus, and they were warriors when they picked up an axe! When a Viking meets a Barbary pirate, it's like a genuine bandit meets an amateur hooligan and beats them so hard that they can't hold their heads up. But even though it was true, behind the Barbary pirates stood a vast empire like Ottoman Turkey. Sometimes, the Vikings can be bullied by the large number of people. The losses of the Viking merchants in this regard were not small.
For such a thing, Egil is a little helpless, his range of activities is in Northern Europe, it is impossible to bypass most of Europe to PK with another powerful country, this is not scientific. And it seems that other countries are doing the money to buy roads for others, and Egil is even more unconvinced, so he has to ask the merchant ships to gather and sail together, and then transfer part of the naval escort, which is the matter. However, this cost a lot of money, and at the same time, because of the delay, the Viking merchants lost a lot of business opportunities. However, this is already the best effort Egil can do.
"When labor and management unify the continent, send an army of millions to bulldoze all the grasslands of your Yaya. Meow a mi. ”
So, so far, Egil has had to be so yy.
So let's talk about the matter at hand, at this moment, after receiving Egil's reply, how Philip II turned the table is not to be mentioned. The harsh form of Poland also had little to do with Egil. Egil's real focus at the moment is on these two countries: Scotland, and Sweden.
Scotland, although it was broken like Egil, and has been recuperating for more than a year, but it has no intention of recovering at all, the new king Robert II is mediocre, not enough to expand the territory, not enough to settle the country, before hearing about the English aristocratic alliance can comfort himself, saying that Egil is a rabbit's tail. But the alliance of nobles collapsed in an instant, and it was extinguished by Egil before even a bubble came out, which made Robert II almost scared.
Immediately afterwards, Egil was attacked by Sweden and Denmark, and Robert II breathed a sigh of relief, the Swedish king Gustav is so famous, and the Nordic lion is so majestic, Egil is going to kneel this time, right? So Robert II really knelt down.
And then, Egil took advantage of the victory to pursue and hit the Polish-Lithuanian United Kingdom again. Robert II thought to himself: "This is a power at the middle boss level that I wiped my tears, and he can rank first in the European continent, but this time he died by himself." ”
So he laughed happily again - but unexpectedly, Egil had succeeded in defeating the Polish-Lithuanian United Kingdom. Directly blow up such a behemoth that traverses two seas (the Baltic Sea, the Black Sea).
Immediately afterwards, Egier set out to reform the domestic political system, establish a central political axe, unify weights and measures, implement written law, and compile the Germanic lingua franca. Robert II immediately knelt down. Now he has also figured it out, such a hungry wolf is squatting at the door of his house, and he may break into the door anytime and anywhere, and he is so skinny that he can't even hold an axe. So what else?
Wait for death.
Today, in addition to praying to God, Robert II has only one strong self-consolation: you can't see me, you can't see me, you can't see me.
Therefore, Egil felt that beating Scotland was a simple matter, and the question was how to govern it after defeating it. The Scottish Highlanders are fierce, and unlike the Baltic coast, the ethnic relations are intricate and wars are frequent, so it is easy to take ownership. The Scottish Highlands have been a mono-ethnic state since Roman times, and although they were ruled by the Vikings for a time and the English for a time, they were constantly revolting. Egil didn't want to get a ruined, rebellious, and needy garrison to keep order - most importantly, a Scotland that couldn't collect any taxes. Therefore, how to annex it and occupy it peacefully and permanently is a headache for Egil.
Sweden's problem was even more serious - after once again bullying Novgorod, forcing him to cede land and pay reparations, ceding all the territory of the Baltic coast, the Swedish king Gustav seemed to have regained his self-confidence. Intelligence shows that the most familiar sentence of this Nordic lord is "One mountain does not tolerate two tigers", the second most frequent is "Where the couch is not allowed to snore", and the third sentence is "Egil, I will kill you!"
Of course, Gustav is actually quite calm. These words are not said in front of others, but only muttered in secret—sometimes even in sleep, like the last sentence, and usually accompanied by slashing movements, awakenings, and night sweats and so on. This made Egil very strange, and after summoning Nameless, he asked, "I don't remember that I recruited female spies." What's going on with this thing? Why do you know so much about it?"
The spy leader smiled without saying a word, so Egil understood at once. In addition to sighing, the vigilance against Gustav has also increased a lot.
"He must be eliminated as soon as possible, for whatever reason!"
At the same time, Egil also calculated that the development of the Swedish territory under his governance was quite good at this moment, and Great Scandinavian was quite marketable. Egil's long-sleeved dancing is a special charm compared to Gustav. Let the Swedish military and civilians under his rule fight each other. Therefore, Egil also took it for granted that after the occupation of Sweden and even Finland, it would be very easy to integrate these people who belonged to the same Nordic and even the same Vikings.
"Then the next target is you. As he said this, Egil drew a dagger and inserted it directly into the system's map of Europe, marking that place in Sweden......
