In 1012, a difficult year for the countries of Europa was finally over. Two things happened during the year www.biquge.info In the first half of the year, the Black Death, which swept Europa, finally abated. That's the good news. The news in the second half of the year is quite bad...... The Norman Empire took action to flatten the two states of Aquitaine and Burgundy. Burgundy is an old European power. Aquitaine was not weakling. However, the final result ended in a complete victory for the Normans. This cannot but make other countries tremble. I couldn't get through the panic.

After the external plague of Mongolia disappeared, and after the internal troubles of the Black Death were lifted, the Norman Empire, the terrifying behemoth that had preserved most of its strength, finally tore through the mask of its hypocrisy. Began to attack his former allies. The Norman Emperor was ambitious and decided to take all of Europa under his control. And the most important thing is that this madman, he really has the strength to do this!

Several German princes knew that they were secretly financing Burgundy, and they would certainly not be able to hide the Norman emperor, whose spy network was everywhere. At the same time, the Norman Emperor dispatched an army of 80,000 troops, and the siege on three sides was certainly not a trip to the border. Their situation is dangerous. At the same time, the situation in Milan and Venice in Italy is also quite bad. As the Black Death gradually dissipated, Mediterranean trade began to recover steadily - which would have been a good thing. But the fleet of the Norman Empire also regained its operational strength.

After the death of the old Admiral Carter, contaminated with the plague, the Norman Emperor split the Mediterranean Fleet under his command into two parts, the Eastern Mediterranean Fleet, and the Western Mediterranean Fleet. It is divided into the Italian peninsula, the island of Malta, and the central axis of Malta. After the split of the fleet, the Norman Navy, the original monopoly of the Mediterranean Fleet, disappeared, which was a good thing for the stability and balance of the Norman Empire.

Of course, that's not the point right now. It was a new military campaign of the Norman Empire - when the German princes thought they were surrounded on three sides, the Italians knew that it was not three, but four.

General Wende, who is also one of the new generals recruited by the Norman Emperor, is full of virtue and loyalty, and has zero ambitions. He is a young man who looks very cheerful and carefree. He was entrusted by the Norman Emperor with an army of 30,000 sailing from Crimea to northern Italy, where the Holy See disembarked and quickly used the remnants of the Papal States as a springboard for attacks on Milan and Venice.

This was all Egil's arrangement—a total of 110,000 troops on four routes, east, west, north, south, and north. Surrounded Central Europe and Northern Italy, the last of the opponents who could pose a threat to the Norman Empire. In total, more than two-thirds of the forces of the Central Forbidden Army of the Norman Empire were mobilized in this military operation. The professional troops remaining in the capital, Krakow, now numbered only 40,000.

Before that, such a thing would have been absolutely unthinkable. The Emperor hid his main forces as if they were treasures, and no one but himself could command them. From this, it can also be seen that the emperor has a degree of trust in these new generals.

Of course, this is all nonsense. These loyal, zero-ambition guys are all Egir's brain-dead fans. Whatever Egil told them to do, they did. In addition to this, I don't have any ** and pursuit. A little compliment from the emperor would have made them grateful. In turn, no matter how much the emperor ravaged them, they would not have any complaints. It can be said that the meaning of these people's lives was to serve the Norman Emperor. Nothing else.

"The Lord has commanded me to be the Antichrist, and I am the Antichrist. ”

This is more or less the case, when the Norman Empire's army was in Yajing, surrounded by east, west, north and south, and other small countries were not sitting still. They quickly connected in series. and elected the son of the Duchess of Austria as the new Holy Roman Emperor, and the titular leader of the alliance, to form a new anti-Norman League.

Well, remember that Egil once asked Duchess Teresa a question. Ask her about her and her son's title. At the same time, he sowed discord and knocked on it by the way, this smug duchess. Now, however, the situation is completely different. The original duke's heir, a young man named Joseph, had a title even louder than that of the Duke of Austria - Holy Roman Emperor!

Although it is likely that he will also have the word "last" in front of this title.

Because of the betrayal of the Holy Roman Empire, Austria, Bohemia, Bavaria, Hesse, Brandenburg and Milan - these six electors unanimously deposed the Norman Emperor Egir, the title of Holy Roman Emperor. So now, de jure, Egil. Skadragrímsson, the guy who once prided himself on being one man and three emperors, now has only two crowns.

But that's nothing - in fact, the Emperor is waiting for an opportunity. When he has conquered all of Europa, he will do everything he can to condense his territories and peoples into a single nation and nation. to ensure that after his death, all his efforts will not be in vain. The whole of Europa is once again fragmented.

"Power is important, but what I need now is propaganda. Propaganda - I want to promote that the whole of Europa is one nation. One single people, one ancestor. I want people to feel a sense of belonging to this empire. At the same time, I will continue to improve the laws and institutions of the Empire. Let this empire last for hundreds of thousands of years. Let the same thought exist in the hearts of all Europaans. In this way, even if the empire was once in chaos and fragmentation. Then it will eventually move towards unification. That's it, that's right. ”

“...... That's a good point. But can you take a look at the situation a little bit?"

Listening to Egil's passionate speech, one of his cheap sisters and lovers, the eldest princess Aurora, said a little helplessly.

"Eh, what's going on?" said Egil with an innocent look.

"We're a**aa!!!!a

Well, that's it. On the New Year of 1013, Egil officially announced the beginning of the crusade against the princes of the Holy Roman Empire. Long before, the four-way army, 110,000 horses, which had already received the news, also launched an attack on the enemy [***] team in the border area at the same time.

This battle is known as the War of Two Empires. Guy the Holy Roman Empire has read force.

No one is a fool these days. In addition, the Norman Emperor completely exposed his ambitions. As a result, no country is willing to form an alliance with him again. Six princes of the Holy Roman Empire, plus a free city-state of Venice. A total of seven countries rejected the emperor's wooing. Only the Kingdom of Hungary. This country, which was on the verge of being unable to pose a threat to the empire at all, and at the same time could not provide any benefit to the empire, finally chose neutrality.

Of course, in fact, neither the Holy Roman Empire nor the Norman Empire won him over. In today's Romania, however, the Hungarians, known as Hunyati, are interested in their native homeland...... This hero, who has tens of thousands of elite cavalry to sell his life, has repeatedly expressed his will. He claimed that he was the best candidate for the king of Hungary.

Of course, none of this matters. The Eastern Roman Empire, which was gradually recovering, was fighting with other local separatist forces, or the Turks fishing in troubled waters, or the Yugoslav uprisings of various races, and Hunyadi's ** against the Kingdom of Hungary. None of that is the point. The focus now is on what is going to happen in Central Europe, the central part of European civilization.

Between the Seven-Power Coalition of Germany and Northern Italy, a total of 100,000 troops, and the 110,000 elites of the Norman Empire, a war was about to break out that was neither unprecedented nor endless. But the war of absolute importance.

If the Norman Empire wins, then the main body of Europa will basically be occupied by him. The task of establishing a unified Europa empire is also more than half accomplished. But if the Norman Empire fails, then Europa will once again usher in a chaotic and disorderly era.

Emperor, Egil. Skadra Grímsson. He is twenty-nine years old. The most powerful warrior, scholar and ruler in the world. The one who is about to conquer all of Europa.

And his opponent is a rabble.

"So, three is really a wonderful number, but one can be two, not three. It is said that it is as light as water three times, and there must be my teacher in the threesome, and the third party will intervene or something...... It seems that something strange has slipped in. But no problem at all. When the Norman Emperor learned that his opponents had once again formed an anti-Norman alliance, the corners of his mouth turned up and he smiled very cheerfully.

He recalls how panicked he was when the first so-called "anti-Norman League" was established. Although, in the end, it was just a false alarm. Because of that incident, he also won the favor of many European continental countries, as well as the title of commander of the European coalition army. But that kind of fear made the emperor feel a little embarrassed when he recalled it now.

And the second time, it was a real anti-Norman alliance. Because of the throne of the Holy Roman Empire, and the opposition of the Papal States. All of Europe formed an alliance against him and his allies. It was a war of unprecedented scale that involved all of Europe. In the end, the emperor won the victory with the help of his allies by virtue of the advantage of comprehensive national strength.

And then there's the so-called third ......
