The fifth watch!!

When Egil ran in again, the cardinal was still an acquaintance - it was Hilde Brand, whom the Pope had sent to negotiate with him for help and rescue. Egil thought to himself: Could this guy be because he brought me, the rescuer, here. Is it because of the meritorious service, so the value has increased? But I don't know which unlucky cardinal has hung a little bit on this juncture. Or maybe it's the pope's direct killers. The purpose is to support this guy to take the position?

Egil thought so darkly in his heart, but on the surface he was still smiling brightly. The young are absolutely capable of captivating more than 95 percent of the women (the rest is lace) and more than 20 percent of the men (they are).

Of course, things are really similar to what Egil imagined. Robert, the mercenary captain who originally belonged to the Pope's faction, was assassinated for no apparent reason. The Pope was furious, but he blamed another group of cardinals who had always opposed him. The end result was only slightly different from Egil's imagination - the Pope sent the army to raid the house with great fanfare, rather than secretly carrying out such a sinister thing as Egir imagined.

"Your Excellency, it is too late to be an apologetic, forgive your sins, forgive your sins. Egil greeted Cardinal Hildebrand. After that, he drew a cross on his chest, and his facial expression quickly switched from the happy expression of meeting his friends to guilt. It can be called a god-fast face change.

"Huh. Your Majesty's words are wrong. If it weren't for His Majesty's righteous deeds, regardless of the ice and snow and the severe cold, he would not be afraid of the long distance and personally lead the troops to rescue. The whole of my Holy See has long since turned to dust. The Holy Land of Rome was also to be plagued by war. Your Majesty has made great contributions, and you have worked hard. How can you say that you are wrong?!" Hilde was also a wonderful man, and the displeasure on his face almost seemed to be genuine. Just listening to this and not looking at people, it is completely mistaken that this guy is actually the court priest of Egil, not the cardinal of the Holy See.

"Hahaha...... You're welcome, you're welcome. Egil smiled merrily, not at all showing any politeness.

At this time, Charles, Duke of Burgundy, beside Egil, coughed softly, which means that you don't patronize and talk to people, we are also involved in this matter. You can't take advantage of the benefits alone.

Egir then "came to his senses and slapped his head: "Look at my memory, come, Bishop, and let me introduce you to these are my solid allies who have participated in this feat, faithful followers of Jesus Christ - whom you also know, His Majesty Philip King of France......"

In this way, everyone got to know each other again. His Excellency the Cardinal then spoke out of Pope Innocent III's command. Say yes: "To meet in person the warriors who have saved Christchurch." ”

Egil naturally agreed: "Okay, well, then is the Pope's Holy See going out of the city to review our 100,000 troops, or is our 100,000 troops going to the process and giving the Pope a military parade?"

Egil choked Heard with a single word. The cardinal glanced at the other feudal lords again, but found that this group of goods was very united at this time. One by one, they laughed and said nothing, waiting to see their own jokes.

Everyone knows it in their hearts. The Pope is trying to save face. If you are stupid and go directly to the city of Rome as the other party said, then it is not a matter of people's words to die or live? But a knock is inevitable. Otherwise, wouldn't your group of people have to rise above the top through the eyes of merit?

Egil, as the commander of the coalition forces, naturally could not allow such a thing to happen. I thought in my heart: "I want to show my way of virtue and virtue!" and then grabbed the loophole in Hilde's words. Didn't you say that the Holy See wanted to meet the warriors who had saved Christchurch? A total of 100,000 people. You can do it. All of a sudden, Hilde choked up. ,

"This ...... An army of 100,000 was too much, and it was inevitable that there would be disturbances when entering the city, and it was also offensive to the Holy See to lead an army into Rome. Even if the Holy See is merciful, it is a loss to the prestige of the ranks. This ......"

Egil snickered in his heart, saying that if he lost his prestige, he could lead his troops into Rome and ride his horse in the heart of the Holy See, which should increase his prestige. If anyone loses prestige, it should also be the Pope. Egil squinted his eyes slightly. Alpha, the captain of the Death Knight standing next to him, understood and said angrily: "I have worked tirelessly, fought thousands of miles, and firmly believed in fighting the extremely murderous heretical devil. It took a lot of hard work to get to the foot of Rome, and I was about to enter and see the style. But the villain is not allowed to enter?!"

Alpha stepped forward and drew his sword from its sheath: "Say! Are you a villain who deceived the Holy See of the Pope and forbade me to enter the city?! Did you have already colluded with the heretics of Eastern Rome and wanted to frame Zhongliang and betray the Holy See?!"

"Don't be rude!, get out of here!" Egil glared and whispered a reprimand to Alpha.

"But Your Majesty, this man is really unreasonable, and if we had known that this was the end, we might as well not come. How good it is to stay in your own country!"

"Presumptuous!" Egil raised his voice a little, and Alpha retreated aggrievedly: "I'll settle accounts with you when I go back." Egil snorted again, then turned to Hilde with an apologetic expression, "Don't be like this kid. This guy is not a redneck, he has never seen the world, and he does not know the greatness of you, Bishop. But don't look at his vulgar speech, he is very devout in his belief in God. I was so excited because I was afraid that I would not be able to enter Rome on a pilgrimage and see the face of the Pope. Therefore, I am in a hurry, so I don't choose to speak. So...... Well, you see, bishop, this kid is a little too much. But it's not unreasonable......"

"Damn, damn it, damn it—sure enough, the Holy See was right. None of these feudal lords can be relied on!" Hilde, who had just been startled by Alpha, scolded in his heart, how ugly and ugly it was. However, on the surface, it is still necessary to pretend that it doesn't matter.

While the Norman king and the cardinal of Rome were fighting each other for a few rounds, the other kings, dukes, and governors next to him were all silent. There was no intention at all to speak for the cardinal. However, Egil's "100,000 troops marching into the city for a military parade" was quite popular. Everyone nodded their heads and said yes to yes. Watching Egil scold Baron Alpha, he also pretended to dissuade him. How realistic and realistic they should be. It's completely impossible to see that it's fake.

are all powerful actors.

In the end, the cardinal alone could not compete with two kings, two dukes, and two governors, such a luxurious lineup. As a last resort, he agreed to Egil's request to bring troops into Rome. And in terms of the number of troops to be led, the two sides bargained again. Eventually, the cardinal reluctantly agreed, and the nations selected soldiers ranging in number from 2,000 to hundreds to be represented by their respective monarchs to enter Rome with their respective monarchs to see the papal see.

Egil calculated that six countries and 100,000 troops could come together like this, and they could come up with five or seven thousand elite soldiers. Although in terms of numbers, it is slightly smaller than the army of the Holy See. But the victory is that all of them are elite. And there are many famous players in the team. If the Holy See really wants to do anything, he will definitely not lose anything. After a long time, the army outside got the news, and the inside and outside should cooperate to easily take the city of Rome. When the time comes, the abolition of the pope is not a matter of one's own words?

So Egil smiled and agreed to Cardinal Hilde's terms. After that, the bishop was invited to lunch. The monarchs talked and laughed, ate and drank, but behind their backs, they all sent their henchmen to select the most elite and loyal troops to enter the city.

At the banquet, the feudal monarchs talked and laughed, while Cardinal Hilde and the two bishops who came with him forced a smile on pins and needles. In his mouth, he tasted the delicacies of the mountains and seas prepared by the special chef of the Norman Kingdom, but the taste was like chewing wax, and he couldn't eat it at all. Before Cardinal Heard could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Egil say, "Well, the warrior delegates who have requested an audience have been chosen." The cardinal was bitter in his heart, and knew that there was still a need to suffer today's sins......

Fifty knights of the Guards, six hundred Norman royal knights, one thousand Norman heavy cavalry, and two hundred field orders under the command of Egil. These were 1,850 heavily armed hoplites, all covered in men and horses. The sea-blue smock of Yishui, not to mention the combat effectiveness, just talking about this momentum is staggering.

If you look at the armies of other countries, it is slightly worse. The three French states of France, Burgundy, and Aquitaine were all conscripted feudal knights, plus retainers. Although they are also all draped all over the body. The coat and shield on his body are varied, and they look bells and whistles. But it was not as good as the army under Egil's. In addition, there is Genoa, as well as the new addition of Venice and Bologna, which is the last place in the free city. All three of these forces were accustomed to fighting with the Papal States. Genoa's giant shield crossbowmen, Venetian hoplites, and the elite Bolognese guards that are the same as the Venetian hoplites. On top of that, there's the well-draped Italian heavy cavalry.

It was only when he saw the giant shield crossbowmen that the cardinal frowned. Although the Papal States forbade the use of crossbows in Christian warfare, such an order became almost a dead letter. But anyway, everyone doesn't mention this stubble. But it doesn't work on the surface. Andrew, the governor of Genoa, seemed to have remembered the incident. Smiling embarrassedly, he let the crossbowmen retreat and replaced them with a group of elite Italian spear militia.
