After the complete rejection of the surrender of Bavaria and Austria. The Norman Empire's four-way army was dispatched in unison. It is very simple to exterminate the last point of so-called "rebellion". Duchess Theresa set herself on fire, while Henry of Bavaria died in battle.

With these last two members of the anti-Norman coalition killed in battle. The war, which had lasted for almost a year, was finally over. The empire received all the territories of France, Germany and Italy. Completed the conquest in Europa. After the fall of the original Frankish Empire, Europe was plunged into chaos and warlordism, and finally ushered in unity and peace once again.

For the new territories, the Emperor divided them into three provinces. He merged North Saxony, which the empire had originally owned, with the two dukedoms of Hesse and Brandenburg, which the empire had just conquered. Named the province of North Germany. Merge Switzerland, Swabia and Bavaria in the south. Named the province of South Germany. Austria and Bohemia were merged and named the East German Province.

In this way, the Holy Roman Empire, which represented the highest power in medieval Europe, became a yellow flower. His main body, Germany and Northern Italy, was divided into four distinct provinces. It was then swallowed by the Normans. At this point, the war in Europe came to an end. Although the Norman Emperor planned to attack the Eastern Roman Empire. But before that, it will take some time, both militarily and to pacify the newly conquered territories. Until these things are done, the Normans will not go out again.

After the elimination of the anti-Norman alliance, the empire gained another benefit. That is, the political structure of the empire became more complete. All imperial territories were divided into provinces. The Norman Empire promoted the three-level administrative division of provinces, counties, and counties. It was thoroughly implemented.

From north to south, from west to east. The Norman Empire's millions of square kilometers of territory were divided into thirteen provinces. They are the provinces of England with London as their capital, Flanders with Paris as their capital, South Flanders with Toulouse as their capital, Scandinavia with Oslo as their capital, North Germany with Hamburg as their capital, South Germany with Munich as their capital, and East Germany with Vienna as their capital...... Lombardy province (including Corsica) with Rome as its capital, Two Sicilian provinces (including Sardinia) with Naples as its capital, Poland province with Krakow as its capital, Rus province with St. Petersburg as its capital, Lithuanian province with Vilnius as its capital, and Ukrainian province with Kiev as its capital...... In addition to this, the Empire has two quasi-provinces under construction. They are the province of Western Siberia (or Kazan), which began to be gradually developed by way of immigration, and the province of Egypt, which is located in Egypt and actually controls only half of it (Upper Egypt fell to Ethiopia).

After dividing the provinces, Egil looked at the newly drawn map of the Norman Empire that had just been exchanged. I can't help but be a little intoxicated.

"I am not yet thirty years old when I have accomplished what the Roman Empire took hundreds of years to accomplish. This totality cannot be described in words, except for Egir Skadergrímsson. There is no second word to describe this noble name, except for noble words. The world is really, why, why is there such a great and perfect character as me? It's incredible......"

"Of course, all this is not enough. I have other plans, new ones, and in my plans, I should add more provinces to my empire. Spain, Hungary, Balkans, Greece, Asia Minor, Morocco, North Africa, Syria and Palestine...... The next step is to unify the entire Mediterranean coast. Only then can I truly claim that I have surpassed the Roman Empire in the traditional sense. The decaying, [***] empire that should have been swept into the dustbin of history, should not exist for a long time...... Hmph......"

It took the Normans nearly half a year to stabilize their newly acquired territory. Dispatch officials, rein in displaced people, enforce laws, and organize garrisons. In addition to this, more time and money will be spent to exterminate the remnants of hostile states. and bandits who take advantage of the situation. In fact, when the Norman Empire's new provinces were formally established, officials were dispatched, and they were effectively governed, the number of bandits in these areas would still exceed 10,000.

Still, these things don't matter. The Emperor ordered his four newly recruited generals to take their armies around these areas, and it was not possible to say that they had eliminated all the bandits. However, they were all driven into the deep mountains and forests, so that peace could be restored to the main road. That's enough. Under the means used by the empire to appease and appease, I believe that these guys will make the right judgment.

So, on the eve of the New Year's banquet, the four generals Ers, Walter, Farr, and Winder, returned to Krakow one after another. Meet their emperor. And he was praised by Egil. The emperor called them his arms, the pillars of the country. And exclusively to have dinner with them. Raised their knighthoods. Promote all four generals to Earl, Imperial Field Marshal. And they were given the privilege of committing ten crimes with impunity.

Such a generous gesture by the emperor, as well as beautiful speeches and praises, made several generals - no, now marshals. Let several marshals be grateful. Repeated oaths of allegiance to their emperor.

"Well, don't say more about this kind of polite remark. The key to allegiance depends on your actions. Egil said this with a smile on his face. And when several marshals heard the emperor say this, they knew that it was time to talk about business. So they sat down one by one, looking at the emperor with eager eyes, hoping to get a better position in the next military operation.

"As you can see, the territory of the Empire has grown to this extent because of our common struggle—but not enough. What I want to see is that all the sun-drenched territories in this world belong to my empire! For this reason, we must work harder and struggle harder! Because of the ravages of the Black Death, other countries have lost a lot of national strength. This is the perfect time for us to start a war and seize territory!"

"Swear allegiance to the Lord!" shouted several of the newly promoted marshals excitedly.

Egil nodded in satisfaction, and then began to talk about the mission: "First of all, Farr. The Emperor looked at the general he had recruited first, "I have already said that I want you to lead an army to attack Spain. And the Western Mediterranean Fleet and the Atlantic Fleet. I'm ready to cooperate with you. First, my fleet will sink all of the other side's poor, toy-like navy. Then, it's up to you to perform. Whether it's crossing the Pyrenees or landing with the help of the navy, it's up to you. I want you to conquer the entire Iberian Peninsula in the shortest possible time!"

"No problem at all, my lord, my subordinates will do everything in their power to dedicate the Iberian Peninsula to you!" Marshal Farr stood up and saluted. And then he said.

"Good. Egil nodded again, then looked at Marshal Winder, "After that, Winder." I have given you the task of developing the province of Western Siberia. Tens of thousands of border guards in the province of Rus' today. All of them are under your command. I want you to subdue all the nomadic tribes in the lower Volga region as soon as possible. Expand the territory of the empire to the Ural and Caucasus Mountains, Caspian generation. I want the Ural Mountains and the Caucasus Mountains to become the walls of the Empire, and the Caspian Sea to become the moat of the Empire!

"Yes, my lord, I will gather those nomads as soon as possible, and build the strongest defense system for the Empire!" replied Marshal Winder, too, excitedly.

"Well, that's good. And remember, I have a hunch that in the near future the Empire will once again start a great war with the nomads who have arrived from the East—and if they don't come, we will attack them!

"I'll be ready for anything, my lord!" Marshal Winder nodded yes.

"Well, then, Uss. The task I have given you is in Egypt. Egil then called Marshal Ers by name: "This is a very difficult task. I think it's best for you to do it—the Suez Canal is a great place for the Empire. You have to defend the cities of Egypt at all costs and ensure the safety of the Lower Egyptian region, especially the Suez Canal. The Eastern Mediterranean Fleet will help you. ”

"Yes, my lord. With me, there will be no land in Egypt. Marshal Uss said in a hoarse voice.

"You're going to face three attacks. Ethiopia in the south, Mongols in the east and Moors in the west. I estimate that their combined strength is likely to exceed 100,000. You have to be very careful. ”

"I see, my lord. Field Marshal Ers saluted again.

"Finally, it's you, Walter. Emperor Egil concluded: "I have given you the freest and, in a sense, most difficult—I want you to take your army to the New World." ”

"Yes, that's totally fine. Sovereign. General Walter nodded yes, and then asked, "So, what am I going to do in the New World?"

"Everything that is good for the empire, can be done. The Emperor's words made General Walter even more confused.

"Conquer the colonies and attack the natives. plundering the wealth of the locals...... Also, there, you are not familiar with life. You're dealing with an empire as large as the Aztecs. So one thing must be remembered. Indigenous people should be used against indigenous peoples. Play your affinity, got it?"
