Thus, in May, Egil sent troops to raze the few nobles in Central Italy, who still refused to submit. At the same time, the coercion of the three Iberian countries also had results. León - Castile and Aragon, the three countries of Portugal finally decided to submit. Sending emissaries to participate in Egil's coronation. It can be said that these wall-grass countries have done a good job. And Iberia was too far from Norman. And it's very inconvenient to deal with a bunch of messy things in Orthodox, Catholic, and Islamic ways. Egil felt that it would be acceptable to let these three countries soften and maintain the status quo. That's enough.

In addition, two other countries also sent emissaries to the Norman Empire, and Basil II was very uneasy about Egil's victory again, thinking that even if he won this battle against Egil, he would be broken. It will not pose a threat to Rome for a certain period of time. But unexpectedly, Egil was devastating. Defeated all the enemies. And throughout Europe, there was also a tendency to integrate because of the Norman Empire. This caused great panic in Basil II. But there is nothing to be done.

And Egil also knows such things. At the time when the Norman army was fighting against the anti-Norman coalition of the Holy See. The Eastern Roman Empire ostensibly did not help each other, but in fact secretly gave the Holy See a lot of benefits. Even, the new army of the Holy See was able to be trained so quickly, and with a clever commander like Harold, there was also the help of the Eastern Roman Empire. Don't forget, before Harold, he was the mercenary leader of the Eastern Roman Empire.

After the victory of the Norman Empire, the Eastern Rome and Basil II Poppies were afraid that the other side would take advantage of this opportunity to continue to attack the territory of Rome. According to the information obtained by the Eastern Romans, the Norman army could now mobilize no less than 400,000 troops. Plus a genius general like Egil. Not to mention anything else, the Eastern Roman Empire is in Italy, in the territory of Iberia, it will definitely not be able to be kept. And the other side also has an incomparably elite navy.

As well as the ability to attack the Crimean peninsula directly from the sea, to Constantinople. If there was a real fight, the seafaring trade of Eastern Rome would definitely suffer. In the Aegean Sea, on the islands of the Mediterranean, it is impossible to say that it will be lost.

On land, the Balkan Peninsula, which was originally ruled very reluctantly, will definitely take advantage of the situation to rebel and join forces with the outside, and perhaps the empire will lose a lot of territory in this generation. It even recreates the scene of the Bulgarian Empire, beaten by the barbarians all the way to Constantinople.

"The Empire seems to be in a very critical situation. At that time, many Eastern Roman nobles, generals, and scholars were all worried. A powerful empire that integrated the whole of Europa, an era in which barbarians flourished to the top, could not have been worse for the "civilized people" of Rome and Greece.

Therefore, Basil II sent his daughter, Her Royal Highness Princess Lìlì Annu, prince of the Eastern Roman Empire, as an emissary, and even as a hostage if necessary, to the city of Rome, which was now occupied by the Norman army.

Basil II wanted to reaffirm Egil's intentions. Alternatively, a new treaty with the Norman Empire could be re-signed.

Another person who wanted to send an emissary was King Philip of France, and he did. His messenger had arrived in Rome two weeks earlier. It's just that no one wants to see him, and the messenger begged grandpa to tell grandma, bribes, and gifts, but there were also people who gave him a favor or something. But when the news reached Egil, the emperor only snorted coldly, saying, "Gone". Looking at the emperor's attitude, no one dared to say too much, lest the emperor get angry and feel uncomfortable. ...,

More than two months ago, when the Norman army crossed the Alps and prepared for the final decisive battle with the Holy See army, the French army was also crossing the Alps, and King Philip did not even think about it, and pressed the last bit of bargaining chip on the Holy See. Directly from the west, he took the same route that the Eastern Romans invaded and the allied forces came to the aid of the Holy See, and crossed the Alps and returned to the territory of France. Today, 10,000 remnants of the army are resting in the south-western city of Marseille.

Although, because Artoria went to Britain and Charles went to Switzerland. As a result, the Western Route Army, one of the three major armies envisioned by Egil, ended without a hitch. Today, there are only 10,000 regular troops of the two legions of Brittany and Normandy, and 10,000 Norman French conscripts entrenched in Paris. If King Philip raised his arms and shouted. If you mobilize the aristocratic army and your own army to gather tens of thousands of troops to go north, you will not be able to crush these Norman troops. Restore the whole land.

But what's the use of that? The whole war has already been lost, Germany, Italy. The Normans and their allies already controlled the vast majority of Europe. The Holy See and the German princes had all surrendered. He is the only one left, and he has to carry it to death if he doesn't pull a few stupid people?

"After surrendering to the Normans, even if he wants us to surrender. If you want us to cut off the title of king, let us cede the land and pay reparations and pay tribute, we all admit it. As long as we can keep a chance to make a comeback!" Philip was on the verge of crying when he said these words to his henchmen. Today, France is at its most dangerous and at the end of its rope. Life and death were in the minds of the Norman Emperor. Thinking of this, King Philip really couldn't think of anything to be happy about.

And Egil's attitude towards Philip's request was this: "Wait until the business is done, and rest for a month." After that, let's go for a walk in France. "To put it mildly. In fact, it does not give people a way to live at all.

It was a complete failure. The Kingdom of France, perhaps this time, will be named in Europe.

It's just that, here, there is still a small problem that has not been solved. At that time, when the Norman Emperor, who thought that everything was under his control, heard the news, he felt as if he had been fooled, which made His Majesty the Emperor, who felt extremely good about himself, very annoyed.

"What?!, that fellow, still won't agree to crown me?!Is he determined to kill him?!" When the third time, when the person who had gone to the exhortation was frothed at by Pope Gregory VII, Egil could not hold back his ...... anymore. ）
