When the Norman army of 150,000 men, after two weeks of armed marches. It's time to reach Budapest. But I heard extremely surprising news - the king of Hungary. Attila, who once led hundreds of thousands of nomadic horsemen to rampant across the continent and forced the Romans to pay tribute, finally couldn't hold it anymore and died of grief after hearing about the Norman invasion.

Of course, that's not the point. After leaving behind the last shred of shame as a human being, the death of this "long-time friend". It was no longer possible to arouse even the slightest sadness from the emperor. The point is what happened after he died.

"A bunch of idiots!" At that time, after the emperor heard of Attila's death, the Hungarian nobles actually accepted the Romanian king, the nouveau riche Hunyadi. Let him be their king after that. The emperor was surprisingly angry: "Why is it that no idiot from any country has come up to ask me to be the king?!

“...... Because, the country that can ask you to be the king has long been conquered by you?" In Egil's ears, Aurora's slightly boring voice sounded: "After all, you are a Nordic. Even if you take 10,000 steps back, you can be regarded as an Erman. Now the whole Germanic nation has been conquered by you. Naturally, this kind of good thing will not be your turn. The Hunyadi was very close to the Magyars in blood. ”

"Cut. Egil shrugged: "It's just the king of a small and weak country that is about to be killed." What is there to be proud of. In early summer, I will be able to completely raze Hungary. After that, it's Romania!"

Speaking of which, it is true that a king who is about to be killed by the Norman Empire really has nothing to be proud of. In fact, the location is not beneficial. Sitting on it burns your butt. The Norman Empire was aggressive, and the 150,000-strong army pressed towards Budapest like Mount Tai. Who would want to be the first bird at this juncture?! That's why the Hungarian aristocracy is here. That's why I made a decision. Push out Hunyati, who had been fighting them to the death before, and let him sit in this unlucky position.

Before that, Hunyadi waved 20,000 troops and went straight to Budapest. Thinking is the crown of this Hungarian king. However, at this moment, under the coercion of the Norman army, the crown was directly sent to him, but he began to hesitate whether to wear it on his head. During the days when he hesitated, the Vadateri cavalry under his command most often saw him touching his neck.

"Maybe my head is going to move this time...... The crown is good though. But the head is gone, where is the crown going to be worn?" Hunyaldi quickly thought of this when he heard about it for the first time. However, the greed in his heart made him hesitate. A crown, that's a big temptation. Not everyone can say no.

Soon, Hunyadi thought of another reason for rebuttal—the Normans were not good. This time, I am afraid that it is not just about the destruction of Hungary. A Hungary that had declined to the extreme would not allow the Norman Emperor to mobilize an army of 150,000. I'm afraid that the real goal of the Normans is still themselves.

If at this time they retreated and allowed the Normans to invade Hungary, then when the Normans annexed Hungary, Romania would definitely be the next to suffer! And if they had given up Hungary, they would have been in a passive position! Rather than this, it would have been better to accept the surrender of the remnants of Hungary. In this way, they will strengthen their own forces. Strike head-on at the Normans!

In this way, Hunyaldi hesitated for a day. Decisively accepted the crown that fell from the sky. Then he led his own army of twenty thousand into Budapest. Received the only remaining thousands of cavalry in Hungary. At the same time, two countries, Hungary and Romania, were ordered to carry out a general mobilization. "In Budapest, fight to the death with the Normans!"

This is all the information that the Norman spies mixed in with the Romanian army sent to the emperor. When Egil had finished reading these things, he roared again: "If those spies are so capable, why don't you take the head of that bastard Hungarian king with his crown?!"

In this way, the war went from the beginning of the Norman invasion of Hungary to a war between the Norman Empire and the United Kingdom of Hungary & Romania. It was even possible that it would develop into a war between the Norman Empire and the Balkan & Greek alliance - this was the second bad news the emperor heard. When the news came that he had led an army of 150,000 to attack Hungary, the Greeks, who had just been about to stab Romanians in the back, immediately stopped their operations.

Here's how it goes. Lilianu, the Eastern Roman emperor, who had been on the throne for a while and whose prestige was gradually rising, sternly rejected the advice of some courtiers - not to care about other things, they fought them, and the Romans fought the Romans. Dispatch of troops to attack Romania.

Lilianu, it seems, is well aware. If Romania were to be attacked at this time, it would be tantamount to helping the Normans. The rear was attacked, and Romania and Hungary, which were fighting on both sides, were bound to be destroyed. It's the same as Romania's Hunyati, who uses Hungary as his shield. Lilianu also used Romania as her shield. There has never been a person in this world who has taken the initiative to dismantle his shield. Antithesis. Lilianu not only did not want to attack Romania, but in turn wanted to aid them.

The female emperor sent an envoy to meet Hunyati in Romania. Her suggestion was made. She claimed that she was willing to form an alliance with Hunyadi to fight against the Norman Empire. and organized a strong Roman Emperor [***] team to go to Budapest and fight alongside the Hungarians.

After that, there is no more to it for the time being. According to the Norman scouts. Hunyadi was very impressed by the Greeks' proposal. But at the same time, he had some concerns—he was afraid that it would be easy to ask God and it would be difficult to send God. After letting the Romans into their own territory, it was not so easy to get them out again. Maybe it will be swallowed by the Romans. In addition to that, he was afraid of one thing. If you take a step back. The Romans didn't even fight for them. After entering his land, he turned his face directly. When the time comes, he will have no place to cry.

That's why. Hunyadi said this when he wrote back to Lilianu. It's okay to form an alliance, and it's okay to receive aid. But sending reinforcements is not necessary. If the empress is really sincere, then she will send a lot of war supplies. Food, armor, weapons, war horses, these things are good, the more the better. Angry, Lilianu, who received the reply, only wanted to kill.

"That's pretty much it. After analyzing the situation, the Emperor felt that Hunyaldi would not let Lilianu send troops for the time being. But if the war really comes, he probably won't care so much. Desperately eat puffer fish. If you eat it, you will die, and if you don't eat it, you will die. Sooner or later, you will die. Then choose to die later.

"When the time comes, there is a good chance that I will be caught in a tug-of-war in Hungary. After the defeat of the Hungarians came the Romanians. After defeating the Romanians, it was the Greeks...... The battle may last for a long time. It would be too bad if it did develop like that. ”

After Egil said this, he turned his head and looked at Artoria, "So, Hani, how about doing me a favor?"

"What?" Seeing Egil's expression, Artoria was also interested. Because every time Egil says something like "ask her for help", it's time for Egil to lead the army into war.

"I don't want anyone to stand in my way. If reinforcements come into Hungary, the war will be endless—so I want you to lead an army into the Mediterranean on a warship. Then bypass Hungary and attack Romania!"

Hearing Egil say this, Artoria became excited: "Sounds good, but what is the specific plan?"

"Kherson's fleet will soon arrive, and when the time comes, you will lead your Celtic army into the Romanian coast by ship and attack its capital Sofia. Take control of Romanian territory as fast as you can!In addition to this, be prepared to fight the Greeks. I suppose that if the news of your army's presence in Romania spreads, the Greeks will surely mobilize all their forces to attack you. Of course, at this time, I will also defeat Hunyati as quickly as possible. Go south and join you!"

Of course, by the time the second half of the sentence was spoken, Artoria had lost his listen. To be precise, when I heard the phrase "fight the Greeks". When you think of the Greeks, you think of Lilianu. When you think of Lilianu, you think of the conflict between yourself and her. If Artoria were asked who she hated in the world, she would probably choose Aurora, Egil's sister. But if Artoria were asked who she hated in the world, she would definitely choose Lilianu.

"I see. Artoria had a very cheerful smile on her face. It was that cheerful smile when she felt that her long-standing feud with her old enemy was about to be understood. Artoria didn't care about Romania, the back road, or anything - all she noticed now was that she had a golden chance to kill Lilianu.

“...... Oh, so let's compare it. The fleet will arrive almost two days later. Seeing Artoria smiling so fiercely, Egil felt that something was wrong. But for a while, I couldn't think of anything wrong......
