Plague caused by Mongol invasions, wars. Such a thing Egir already knew through his intelligence system. Of course, the emperor did not associate this "plague" with the terrible Black Death, which was said to have killed a fraction of the population of Europe.
In the past few years, the Middle East region has been plagued by a series of wars and disasters, and countless people have died. In addition, the Mongolian people are so environmentally friendly (there are white idiots who say that the more people they kill, the more environmentally friendly) race, with all kinds of parasites, germs and something appeared. And it is not a natural, icy climate like Siberia, where infectious diseases do not take place, but a warm Mediterranean climate. So an outbreak of a plague is also a normal and natural thing.
Of course, Egil still takes this "matter of course" seriously. The Mongols took advantage of the epidemic of Damascus and civil strife to attack the city in one fell swoop. Then again a very environmentally friendly slaughter of the city, a very environmentally friendly burning of the city. Originally, the most brilliant literary and economic center in the Middle East, the political and metallurgical center was burned to ruins.
When he heard the news, Egil was quite sorry. In this case, many sources of infection will disappear with a fire. Attempts to make this plague even bigger and kill all the Mongols may fail.
Moreover, Damascus, this support point in the interior of Syria was lost. The situation in the Eastern Roman Empire deteriorated even further. Only a small number of coastal territories remained. Although it has made the transportation supply line a little closer. But even Antioch, the largest coastal city, is not as defensible as Damascus. It seems that the defeat of Eastern Rome is already a foregone conclusion.
There is no analysis of anything beneficial to the empire from the intelligence. Egil sighed softly. Began to draft documents for the Black Sea Fleet to be combat-ready.
"Maybe a year, maybe less. Significant changes will occur throughout Anatolia. It is quite possible that it will affect the interests of the empire. At that time, I asked you, and the entire Black Sea Fleet, to be dispatched. Seal the Dardanelles. Turn the entire Sea of Marmara into an imperial fortress! Get ready for battle from now on. Intensify your training. Hoarding supplies. I'm waiting to see you build up your feats!"
Soon, a short letter was written. Egil stamped his coat of arms on the letterhead, sealed it, and walked out of the barracks. Give it to a knight of the Guards who was keeping watch outside, and ask him to take him to the intelligence service.
All over Europe. No, the whole world is going to become a battlefield this time.
Look at the knight who is gradually moving away. Egil lamented: "The scale of war has become larger. If the Mongols can't break through Moscow this fall. Then they will have a good time in the winter. But. If the other party still refuses to withdraw from the army, what should I do?"
If only the Mongols were willing to honestly withdraw their troops. Norman could also lift the order for general mobilization, and spring ploughing may not be able to catch up. But summer sowing increases the acreage of high-yielding crops such as corn and potatoes brought from the New World. Then autumn can still be expected.
But if it weren't for the mobilization order, there would be so many young and middle-aged laborers. The food problem in the Norman Empire is about to be serious......
"Do you want to have a rationing system...... But that would lower morale, and it would also give people a sense of crisis. Again. Warehouses for grain were set up in various cities of the empire. If you use those reserves, how much will it ...... Well, yes, it's a solution, but it doesn't seem to be that dangerous now, and it's the stuff at the bottom of the box...... What else can be done?"...,
Egil pondered. Although it is said that when he is usually idle and has nothing to do, it is difficult for people to associate this frivolous guy with the emperor who is in charge of the three empires. But when it comes to really doing things, Egil is still very imposing.
"That's why it's a problem. Indeed, if you don't have enough to eat, you don't have the strength to kill. Beside Egil, Artoria, who had just finished his morning class and had flipped a dozen knights of the Guard, still found it unpleasant, and went straight to the file that Egil had revised several times and read it. Then he said.
That's exactly what it means. Egil shook his head, smiling reluctantly.
"Can't think of a way?" Artoria asked.
"Well, yes. Although there are already some clues. But I still don't understand how to do it. Egil replied. At the same time, there are some doubts. Could it be that his wife, who is completely unfamiliar with politics and economics, will have any good way?
"I can't think of it here anyway. Why don't you change your mind a little bit and go to the training ground with me? Artoria smiled at Egil's words and suggested. Only then did Egil realize that this guy didn't have any good ideas. It's just that smoking those Guard Knights doesn't get a lot of fun. So I want to smoke myself.
"I'm very busy right now. As soon as Egil tried to refuse, he was pulled up by Artoria. The arm was almost broken.
"Alright, alright. I'll leave that to your sister. Isn't that what she cares about?" seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Egil's words. Artoria snorted and said.
"Well, well. If she refused, Artoria would probably be angry. Egil nodded, and with a little reluctance agreed to Artoria's invitation.
"But first, I won't show mercy......" Egil said as he nodded to Sonya, who had been silent all along, and called her name. Sonia understood. He took Egil's suit, the box containing the armor of the Absolute Guardian.
"Just the cuirass will do. As he said this, Egil, with the help of Sonia and Artoria, put the cuirass on his body and pulled the hair out of the armor.
"Well, I've been busy fighting lately, so I haven't noticed my personal image a little. My hair has grown a lot, should I tie it up? Of course, I still asked Maria to fix the beard or something. Egil looked at it, and finally asked Sonia for a rope and tied a single ponytail to her hair. If you look in the mirror like this, it will look much more pleasing to the eye.
"Alright, hurry up. "On the other side, Artoria is already waiting impatiently. So Egil hurried over and went to the training ground with Artoria. Because it was training, neither side used their best weapons, and the Blade of Tearing Life and the Sword of Victory and Oath were still in the room, but instead used the standard equipment of the army. Even so, it's a weapon that has been bladed. So it's better to wear some protective props before fighting. That's why Egil wears one of the breastplates of the Absolute Guardian.
And on the other side, Artoria also opted for a similar outfit to Egil. A two-handed broadsword, and the armour and shin armor that gave up the limbs, and the cursed armor that kept the breastplate alone.
So, after the final salute, the battle began, though the loss of two artifact bonuses prevented Egil from competing with Artoria in terms of strength and speed. In terms of experience, the number of heads that have been cut off, at least ten times that of Egil, is also more dominant. But when it comes to skill, and dexterity – or insidiousness, it's Egil who is even more clever. ...,
Because of the large amount of systematic indoctrination, swordsmanship and swordsmanship in various eras and regions. Coupled with the insidious and cunning mind of the world's first. The only person in the entire empire who can be compared to Artoria is Egil alone. If the two sides really want to divide the winner, they will have to fight to the death. Therefore, the final result of the match usually ends in a draw.
But today is different.
"Where are you looking?!"
Within a few rounds of the battle, Egil showed his flaws. Originally, Artoria thought that this was a deliberate trick by Egil to lure the enemy, just like the previous competition. But soon, Artoria found out that the guy was really showing flaws, not pretending - from the very beginning of the fight, Egil was absent-minded.
So soon, the saber in his hand was picked off by Artoria. He then struck Egil on the calf with the spine of his sword, knocking him to the ground. Although he won the victory, Artoria was not happy at all because of Egil's previous lack of seriousness. I didn't feel like it was enjoyable.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Do you want to do it all over again?" said Egil, smiling apologetically.
"Forget it, if you can't figure out those things, I'm afraid you won't be in the mood to accompany me. Let's do our best. However, you need to pay attention to your body. Artoria withdrew her sword and pulled Egil from the ground. Then he patted the dust off his body and said, "Forget it, I'll go around the wall." You don't have to wait for me for lunch. ”
In the morning, the Mongols did not attack, and Artoria now passed, presumably in the afternoon, when the other side attacked, to cut a few more human hairs to vent.
"It's really ......" Egil thought for a moment, and in recent times, he has indeed been in a bit heavy, and he has done a little too much...... Well, let's go to Nightingale's room tonight. Because it's a nurse, it can be used to maintain the body. ”
Egil thought. It's just that nurses do some maintenance, nursing, and the like, but it doesn't feel like that...... (To be continued...... If you like this work, you are welcome to ◤◢ to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is the author's greatest motivation. )
