Chapter XVI: The Informer
...... Celtic, Queen of Britain, Empress of the Noryan Empire, Red Dragon of Northern Europe...... Hongu swears that Hongu will definitely kill you. Her Royal Highness the princess, who fled in embarrassment that day, secretly swore that she had a complete grudge against the Norman queen. However, no matter what happens after that. All she could do now was run away as she could. Her Royal Highness the Princess gathered the rout along the way.
Although there were quite a few Eastern Roman soldiers, they were resentful of Lìlì Annu's eventual escape. But there is no choice but to follow Lìlì Annu is always better than running aimlessly alone, this is the so-called "ordinary people", they don't have much knowledge, and they don't know how to make ideas. I don't know what to do except follow someone who is smarter and stronger. Although the final decision may not be as good as they wanted, they just complain or change someone else to make decisions for them. Still not making up your own mind......
In this way, Lìlì Annu went all the way south, and at the same time sent soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army to the north to inquire about the news, and was relieved to hear that Artoria was going to clean up the hearts of the people in the south of Bōlan, and had no intention of continuing to chase south. A few more soldiers joined along the way. The army grew to three or five thousand men. Her Royal Highness the Princess was in a better mood. But I don't know what to do in the future.
If you continue south, you will be back in the Balkans in a little while. That would be equivalent to returning home. However, he lost a big battle this time. I'm afraid that the little fame accumulated before is over, and I don't know what the Roman people in the country will say about themselves...... How can you still have the face to go back?
So, what about continuing north? Some distance north is to return to Bōran, which has become the domain of the Normans......
Or to the east, to the east is the Kingdom of Hungary, which has had many wars with the Eastern Romans before, and was destroyed by his dead ghost father once. To go there is also to find death.
"Let's go north first, then west.
Go to Ukraine. ”
In the end, Her Royal Highness the princess made up her mind. Decided to continue his mission. Stay in Eastern Europe and unite with the rest of Eastern Europe against the Norman invasion......
Putting aside the fact that Lìlì Anu made up his mind to make trouble with the Normans, it is said that after Artoria's victory this time, he has really grown a lot. Not only did he not kill the captives, but he also sent people to comfort him, and those who belonged to the territory that he already controlled told him not to make trouble, and then let him go home. And those tribal villages and towns that have not yet surrendered are grouped together and guarded according to their origins. Treat them with kindness, and take them with them when they attack those places, and then use them as persuasions.
In fact, after the defeat of the Eastern European coalition army, together with the Eastern Roman Imperial Army, where else did the entire southern Bōlan stand out against her? I heard that the coalition army was defeated, and then saw that the Norman army piled up a large number of captured Eastern European and Eastern Roman flags and ordnance outside the city. The people of Krakow have changed their minds. Finally, one night, the hungry townspeople revolted, gathered and opened the gates of the city, broke the parliament of the autonomous government, and cut off the heads of the noble councillors and presented them to the Empress of Artoria.
This was still the case in Krakow, and the other small towns in the south, Bōlan, were naturally not a problem, and a cavalry hundred-man squad with a few captives went over and shouted to calm down. In this way, in less than half a month, the entire South Bōlan has been pacified. Artoria changed her previous style of killing excessively, and although the army went a little forcefully buying and selling, things like taking advantage of women happened from time to time. But robbery is rare. At the same time, taking advantage of the autumn grain storage season, the fighting in the southern part of Bōlan had just dissipated, but it was about to miss the agricultural time, so Artoria sent troops to help the farmers to harvest. In this way, the people in the southern part of Bōlan are a little more at ease. Bō Lan area Suiping.
"Tsk, I've grown in. ”
When Egil learned of these circumstances, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Xindao: Hani has also been exercising recently. It's a help. Looking at the list of Artoria's genera, it is true that all genera have made great progress: nine stars of dominance, fourteen stars of brutality, eight stars of virtue (Artoria's brutal virtues are counted separately), loyalty... One, sixteen stars of prestige, six stars of management, and four stars of piety.
Except for piety, all the other genera are not satisfactory. Let Egil nod his head, and at this moment, Egil's army has also pacified Belarus. Troops have entered Ukraine.
The expansion of the Norman Empire in Eastern Europe was very smooth, and the three countries of Bōlan, Belarus, and Lithuania, with a large territory of more than 600,000 square kilometers, large pastures, plains arable land and forests, and rivers all started. The territory of the Norman Empire expanded by about a fifth in an instant. And all of them are fertile territories suitable for farming. Although the population is relatively sparse. ,
But with the right management, Egil believes that with these lands, his country's power can be doubled!
"Hehe, hehehahaha......" Sitting on the newly developed swivel chair, Egil laughed as he spun in circles. The clerk next to him, Talelang, frowned slightly.
"It's really unfair that such an uneducated guy can become the lord of a country, or even become an emperor. ”
Sir Talleyrand shook his head inwardly. This look was seen by Sonya, who was standing behind Egil.
Take: "I'm going to be a close guard, so I need to change into more decent clothes." With this as an excuse, Egil forced Sonia to change into a full black silk miniskirt maid outfit. Although Sonia said, "I'm embarrassed to say this." But in the end, he couldn't resist Egil's "kindness" and finally changed into this dress. Act as Egil's maid.
Of course, this maid will neither serve tea and pour water, nor will she rub her shoulders and pound tuǐ. In addition to warm chuáng, the greatest use is to kill. Playing with knives and daggers or something, it is more suitable than cleaning around with a feather duster, which is also the place where the little nun Maria often mocks Sonya, of course, after the ridicule, Maria will definitely be taught a lesson by Sonya. But according to the idiotic genius brain of the little nun, there is absolutely no lesson to be learned. Repeated teachings, repeated teachings... After that, he was abused by Sonia in various ways.
However, two beautiful girls who are about the same age (?) are playing and making trouble, and it looks interesting, doesn't it?
Therefore, Sonya's real identity is a personal bodyguard.
"This man is not loyal. Sonia secretly reminded herself in her heart to pay attention to this guy. If he dares to do anything against his master, kill him.
Although Egil is very good to Sonya, it even exceeds the extent that most husbands love their wives. But Sonya, who was born as a killer, is very capable of putting herself in a correct position, and it is even less likely that she will have such an idea about Artoria, whom she has not yet met: "He can take his place". He is the killer, and Egil is his employer, although in addition to this, the two parties have a physical relationship, and even have emotions like "love". But that's what the actual relationship is. Since it's a killer, it's about finding the best employer. It would be great if you could do the job for the rest of your life. And Sonia was sure that she had found the person she was going to work for. That's it.
"Well, Sir Talleyrand, is there anything else?" asked Egil.
"Well, actually," Talleyrand frowned and glanced at Sonia behind Egil, looking hesitant, as if he wanted to talk to Egil alone.
"Sonia is my sweetheart. Don't worry. Egil turned his chair slightly, then took Sonya's hand and patted it.
"This matter is related to the corruption of the bureaucracy at the top of the empire. Talleyrand paused as he watched Egil stare at him, as if he wanted him to continue, rather than Sonia leaving. I couldn't help but snort softly in my heart: "Good sè faint gentleman......"
"Then the person who was reported by Rong's subordinates was none other than Nemulis, the current intelligence director. "Oh?" Egil let out a soft oh, then raised Sonya's palm, scratched it slightly, and then raised it high. Looking at the sun, he exclaimed, "Sonia, your skin is so crystal clear." "Make Sonia shy to death. But he didn't dare to withdraw his hand directly.
Seeing that Egil didn't care, and didn't even mean to continue, Talleyrand was slightly discouraged, but he still gritted his teeth and took out several documents from his handbag, written on so-called "paper" purchased from the Arab world. It seems that Talleyrand has made a bloody investment.
"This is the investigation report of the subordinates in the recent period. It records the proximity of Nemulis to envoys from other countries, the bribery of others, and evidence of his connections with several gangs and gangs in the country. Your Majesty, please be aware of it. ”
"Oh," Egil looked up slightly, and made a somewhat concerned look, but he didn't even look at it. I took the document, knocked on the desk, went through it a little, didn't look at the content, just looked at the format and calligraphy, and then exclaimed: "The font is good, sir." Then he set it aside.
"If nothing else, you can go down. Egil said.
"Your Majesty, do you want to shield that sinner?" Talelang looked a little moved: "Just because the other party is a person who has followed you for a long time and has made some merits, so you want to protect him?" Hearing Talelang's words, Egil laughed out loud and said, "Okay, sir, the joke is over here, I'm going to meet with the Ukrainians around here in the afternoon, are the gifts ready?"
“............... , indeed ready, Your Majesty. Talleyrand replied.
"Then go check again. ”“............... , yes, Your Majesty. Seeing that Egil didn't want to talk about it at all, Talleyrand was a little stunned and turned away!
