From morning to noon, from noon to evening, Egir looked around with a telescope, but never found a pirate ship that was not long-sighted. It seems that the other party will not appear for the time being.

"If our course is correct, Your Majesty. In two more days, you will be in Cyprus. It was about two days later than expected. In addition to this, Carter and Shuai also sent a message that his fleet, as well as the French and Germans, would also arrive within five days. By that time, all the armies of Christendom would be able to be gathered on the island of Cyprus. At this moment, beside Egil, Nemulis, the head of the spy, said.

"Hmm. Egil nodded, raised his hand to retract the telescope, then turned around and asked, "What about Basil II, Eastern Rome?"

"Because of our alliance, we also helped the Greek army on the island of Cyprus.

However, the other party does not seem to appreciate it. There are also quite a few Greek nobles who blame us, believing that our country occupies their territory. ”

"Tsk...... Cocky guys. Egil snorted coldly, just as he thought. Attacking, occupying, and even governing the entire island of Cyprus was not a difficult thing for him to do for the Norman Empire. What is really difficult is the jurisprudence, the reasoning of this matter. In order for the Normans to be able to serve as the leader of the Crusaders of Wei Zhengguang, they had to gain the upper hand at the level of the Daochaeut. As for the occupation of the island of Cyprus, Egil used the excuse that "it was a base for the advance of the crusaders...... It was also true that the island of Cyprus was used as a forward base to facilitate the crusaders of other countries, and even to the Greek army. But it didn't look as good as Egil thought.

"It would seem, if it weren't for the fact that we were outnumbered and well prepared. Then they have to force their attack. Took Cyprus away. After that, Nemulis added...... However, this sentence summoned Egil's displeasure.

"You just have to report to the United Nations what happened. Analyzing that intelligence is a joint affair. Egil nodded Nemutos lightly.

"The subordinates know that they are wrong. Nemulis was still calm, but he was fast. He immediately fell to his knees and bowed to Egil.

"It's good to know what you're wrong. Egil nodded: "Get up, work hard in the future." With that, Egil walked in the direction of the gate, and beside Nemulis, Sonia snorted softly, and then turned and followed Egil. made the already embarrassed Nemulis even more angry.

"Your Majesty will delete it after a lesson...... Why did that damn woman step on my head?!" Nemulis thought of his work with great displeasure

At this moment, Egil didn't bother with the intrigue between his subordinates, or that was what he was happy to see.

"Sonia, you seem to be very dissatisfied with Nemulis. As he walked towards his room, Egil said to Sonia as he walked.

"Subordinates are just ......"

“...... Well, no more talk. Lian doesn't want to care about what holidays you have, but Lian doesn't want to see you delay your work for personal reasons. Got it?"

"Yes, master. Sonia nodded yes. After that, the two sides did not speak again, and they came to Egil's room...... Occupying a tenth of the ship's space, the magnificence of the restoration is more appropriate than the cabin. The décor is almost indistinguishable from Egil's sleeping house in Krakow. It's like moving there straight away. Except for a slight shaky. And apart from the fact that the windows on both sides are sealed, there is no difference.

At this moment, Artoria, who was bored and playing chess, turned around when she heard the sound of the door opening, and her face flashed with joy when she saw that it was Egil. Then he complained to Egil: "Really, you can't do anything on the sea, can't you sail along the coastline of Asia Minor......?

"That's not going to work. Hani ...... "Hearing Artoria talk about the pirates' burning, killing and looting as "having some fun," Egir cried. Walked over and gently hugged Artoria's waist: "Our original opponent was only Saladin. And if you do that, you won't provoke Lyman. And if you go around that way, the speed is too slow. It's going to be a waste of time. ”

"What......" Hearing Egil say this, Artoria was even more dissatisfied: "If Suleiman is not an idiot, then he will take advantage of this opportunity to continue to attack Asia Minor and attack the Greeks." Instead of going south and the sneezing forces of the Crusaders, they would not provoke a strong enemy for themselves for the sake of a few small coastal abyssal white horses. Besides, if the other side really wants to fight, then they will have a thousand, and they don't want to understand the reason. If they really don't want to fight, they will also find the previous one, the opposite reason. It's not like we can guide them by burning down a few ports and fishing villages and killing a few civilians at any time. ”

Artoria's words said that Egil could only smile bitterly and follow Egil for longer, the more Artoria was affected. Although it is said that political talent is basically formed. However, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the military, and the ability to reverse black and white has also increased a lot. When he said this, killing a few people and burning a few villages was a bleak thing. It's like it's not a big deal.

"Okay, okay. Egil raised his hand in surrender and told the truth: "The reason why I did this is because of time. I want to save time...... Although it is said that burning and looting along the coastline is very enjoyable, it can also stimulate morale and inspire people. But after all, it can only be regarded as incidental. It's not very important. Of little consequence. ”

"What, you're just over twenty-one years old now. There are things that time can be wasted. Artoria said dissatisfiedly: "Forget it, play chess with me for a while." ”

"Absolutely. Egil nodded, and sat down across from Artoria, white. At the same time, he went on to explain, "If you don't have anything to do, forget it. But every second counts, and we must step into the Holy Land before the other countries of the Crusaders arrive. Gain leadership of this crusade. ”

Sure enough, when it came to politics and diplomacy, Artoria was confused. As he fell, he asked in confusion: "What? Does anyone dare to compete with you for the position of the leader of the alliance? France, Holy Rome, they have so much courage?"

"If you add one, the Holy See, it's pretty much the same. Egil replied.

"The Romans taught people...... Is there any contradiction between us and the Holy See?" said Artoria's stupid and naïve question, leaving Egil speechless.

"Forget it, I'll leave it to you and leave. I'll just have enough heretics to chop it up. However, Artoria didn't expect Egil to explain it to her...... Or maybe it's too much trouble. Or, even if it was explained, she couldn't understand it. So I continued to focus on getting off the plane.

"Speaking the words of the infidels...... Maybe. Egil was relieved to hear Artoria say this. Explain to a political idiot the current situation, the conflict between the Norman Empire and the Holy See, the conflict with several other countries, and the reason why Egil had to speed up. That's a lot of work. It's tiring to do: "Sonia, rub my shoulders for me." ”

"Yes, master. So, Sonya, who had been standing behind Egil, put her hands behind her and began to knead gently.

"Well, that's where ......" Egir narrowed his eyes comfortably and Sonya, who was very interested in human anatomy, was not just capable of killing.

"What are you talking about? Until now, Artoria has not figured out whether this killer who suddenly appeared next to Egil some time ago and is sharp and skillful is a man or a woman...... So, there is a default attitude towards Sonya's existence. The other two girls who were with the army, Maria and Joan of Arc, were not so lucky. Most of the time, they can only stay bored in the other, slightly worse cabins. Egir would sneak over to see them sometimes. But more often than not, only to accompany Artoria.

"It's a pagan pirate. "If I'm not mistaken," said Egil, "there may be some pagan pirates attacking our fleet tonight."

And there are quite a few of them. ”

"Is that so?!" Hearing Egil say this, Artoria looked very excited, "There are a lot of them? can there be five hundred? If it's too little, it's not enough for me to cut it." ”

"It's a little more than you want to do. Yougill moved the chess piece and said, "General." Altoria's smile disappeared suddenly: "Seeing so many ships and daring to move, I have to gather enough thousands of men and horses." ”

"It's not a restart!"

"A good woman must be willing to gamble and lose!"

"I am willing to gamble and lose and have no connection with a good woman at all......"

At this time, the emperor and empress, who were arguing, did not know that they were facing more opponents this time than they imagined. And the danger they will encounter is greater than ...... imagined. ）
