It's over.

Egil looked at the last batch of inhuman-shaped corpses that had been shot with a bow and crossbow, and sighed slightly.

It's the end indeed.

The glory of the Holy Roman Empire or something.

When the knight of the guard asked him what to do with Frederick's body, Egil thought about it for a moment, and then ordered, "Burial it well." ”

A generation of heroes Frederick Barbarossa has completed the path of his life in this way.

"Hopefully I won't be like him. Egir looked at the shovel after shovel of the coffin where Frederick's coffin was buried, and couldn't help but think: "Although true warriors like to die on the battlefield. But I felt that I still died on the chuáng, in the crying of my wife and children. This is more appropriate. ”

And when you think of your wife and children, you think of Artoria. Speaking of which, Egil and she haven't seen each other in a while. Although love letters or something are often written. But in the future, the world will not be able to really alleviate lovesickness by making phone calls, or even online videos. Correspondence that can sometimes take as long as a month is even more difficult.

So I miss it very much. Very, very much wanted to see her. The thought of her makes me feel like I can't do it............... ，

That's it. After counting the spoils of war, prisoners of war, regrouping the army, treating the wounded, and so on. Egil loudly announced to his army, "Now, we can go home!"

A simple sentence made the Norman army cheer. After all, the soldiers have been fighting continuously for more than a year, and they have already consumed a lot of energy. Those regular, professional armies are slightly better. But the irregular, temporary conscripts all developed severe homesickness. If it weren't for the fact that Egil's prestige had been suppressed, and the army had been winning big battles. If the booty is not worth a lot of money, I am afraid that there will already be desertion in the army.

However, this can finally be over. Between the Norman Empire and Egier's army, there was also the barrier of Albrecht at Brandenburg. But Egil didn't think that this hard-pressed duke, who had only a little more than 10,000 troops in his hands, and most of them were peasant soldiers, had the courage to stop him. The smartest and most correct way would be to surrender Kaesong directly. Egil could still give him the rest of the soup to drink.

And that's exactly what Albrecht did. After learning the news of the defeat of his own emperor and the arrival of a Norman army of 80,000 (mercenaries had been disbanded) approaching Brandenburg, Albrecht breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed: "The emperor came first... My xìng fate was saved. "It seems that he will not be slaughtered by the Norman Empress, which makes the Duke feel quite satisfied. And immediately go out of the city and surrender.

And for this duke, who enjoyed prestige and power in North Germany, Egil did not have too much difficulty. Directly let him disband all his peasant soldiers and feudal knights. Only a garrison of a thousand men remained. After that, he generously entered the city of Brandenburg. The villas of the wealthiest merchants in the area were chosen to be used as temporary residences.

So far, the road back to China has become a smooth road. The soldiers who have experienced countless large-scale battles and managed to survive are full of emotion. Later, with Egil's permission, he began to organize himself and head north to Jutland. Or bō Melannia. From there, take a ship back to England, or Scandinavia, or by land, along the half-built road from Jutland to New Scandinavia, to Prussia or Livonia. In short, these people left. Left with a lot of loot and endless talk for three days and three nights.

Brandenburg, or rather Egier's side, now had only about 37,000 regular troops left. It also made other countries that got the news a little relieved.

"It looks like the barbarians of the Northlands don't want to fight anymore. Otherwise, I don't really know what to do. ”

For example, King Philip II of France, after getting the news, was very happy to talk to himself. After that, I ate a lot more dinner and opened several bottles of this year's new wine. He also thinks the same thing, and now in Hesse, he fears that he will be the next target of destruction, Lucived, far away in the Holy See in Rome. Even the kingdoms of the Iberian Peninsula thought that it would be a good thing for Christendom that Egil could stop for a while. ,

And this idea changed a little in the minds of the Holy Roman Empire army in Munich, which was still in hostile relations with Egil......

General Tilly, who was a valued supporter of Frederick, was in mourning after hearing of the death of the monarch in battle, and his spirits were sluggish.

But he himself is a mercenary general. And the relationship with Frederick is also the relationship between the employer and the mercenary. Now the employer is dead. The obligation to be a mercenary is gone. Even if he wanted to take revenge, he couldn't afford to pay the hiring fees of the tens of thousands of mercenaries.

Others, including Henry, who now claimed to be Duke of Bavaria, and Duke Albert II of Austria, who was eager to declare himself Holy Roman Emperor with Frederick's letter of promise (in order to distinguish the Elector of Brandenburg, the English translation was so easy to use) did not want to continue the fight with Egier.

"If, as the guy said, his revenge was only against Frederick's family, he was happy by now. Let's negotiate. North Saxony, that kind of barren rotten land, he gave it to him if he wanted. Albert II, who had already assumed full self-proclaimed Holy Roman Emperor, declared this at a military council. And Henry, who seemed to have reached some kind of agreement with him, also nodded in agreement.

Immediately afterwards, the two people turned around and looked at the other person, who had been vaguely excluded from the decision-making level, but still controlled tens of thousands of mercenary troops, such a powerful military force.

General Tilly, trembling slightly, raised his hand, and finally hung down weakly, bowed his head, and said, "... Nas, so be it. After saying that, he stood up and walked out with his body bent. This was the last time the old general appeared in the midst of a major historical event. And after that, the old general disbanded his mercenary troops, distributing decades' savings to those mercenaries.

And thank you again and again for these fighters. After that, he left Munich in disgrace.

After that, there was no record of this general in history. Some say that after leaving Munich, he encountered robbers, hanged himself on the side of the road, and robbed of all his clothes and money.

It is also said that he returned to Iberia with what little savings he had left, bought some land in the countryside and spent the last days of his old age in peace. But none of that matters. There are so many scenes in the dragon set, and you can get a safe retirement ending, which is not bad. The real eye-catcher is still the high-sounding emperor and general on the stage. They are the protagonists.

After three days in Brandenburg, Egier was busy again. The intelligence system is too complete, and it doesn't seem like a good thing. Because the amount of information you get is too much. It is very time-consuming and laborious to analyze. Fortunately, Egil was still a diligent emperor, and after diving headlong into a large pile of information, he quickly analyzed that the Holy Roman Empire's request for peace was eighty percent true.

However, a few days later, Egil was furious with another piece of news: it was from the intelligence system of the Papal States: Henry, the crown prince of the Hohenstaufen family, had fled to Rome. And the Holy See, having considered its own interests, also agreed and offered him asylum. And very arrogant, very arrogant, sent an emissary to order Egil to cease any hostilities with the Holy Roman Empire. Otherwise, Egil will be excommunicated.

"What the fuck!"

When Egil heard this, he shut himself in his room again, and threw himself on the table and stool for a long time.

"Heartless, heartless, bastard who doesn't know what Ende is! Lao Tzu just saved your life!

I just saved your life!! you're just treating your savior like that?!Okay!fuck me don't care if you live or die!!! you're all bastards."

With such a crackling sound, Egil opened the door again, and saw a circle of people gathered outside, the knight of the guard, the archbishop, the intelligence officer Nemulis, and the clerk of the book, Talleyrand. These people all looked at their emperor with trepidation.

"What do you see?!Do you want to do whatever you need to do?!Don't you hear?!"

So the group of people scrambled to disappear.

"Damn it. Egil leaned against the door frame, closed his eyes and rubbed the somewhat swollen sun, and then muttered quietly.

"I told you before, if you choose the Norse god faith, there won't be so many things now. At this time, Aurora's voice came back to Egil's head.

"Alright, don't talk about this kind of thing again, okay?" said Egil unashamedly.

"And what are you going to do?" "I was going to make peace with the Holy Roman Empire anyway. The Holy See's edict was nothing more than that. Egil snorted inwardly, pretending not to care.

"Oh, then why are you so angry?" asked Aurora.

"Two meanings. Egil sighed softly, "Anyway, it feels really bad to be threatened like this, even if the thing he threatens is exactly what I am going to do." Still uncomfortable. ”！。
