When the Norman armies were going well. Soon, it was time to storm the legendary Constantinople. On the other side of the world, a violent coup d'état took place in the Mongol Empire, which had changed its name to "Yuan".

At that time, when he realized that he was probably not able to go to the battlefield, the Mongols, or the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. The hero who once wanted to defeat Egil with pride. The heroic Wo Kotai, who once galloped across the Eurasian continent, has become a little nervous. He became timid, cowardly, and suspicious. He suspected that his only remaining brother would betray him. So he poisoned that man, Genghis Khan's fourth son, Torre.

Such perverse behavior aroused the disgust of the Mongolian aristocracy. And his arbitrary administration also violated the Mongol tradition to a certain extent. If Genghis Khan had done this, no one would have spoken. But the prestige of Ögedei was much worse than that of Genghis Khan. In this way, gradually, the Mongol aristocracy became more and more detached.

At the same time, in order to maintain the luxurious life he enjoyed, and to prepare for the conquest of the Tang Kingdom, Ogedai also levied high taxes. At this moment, the Black Death has not subsided. The plague of war and plague were heavily taxed. The lives of civilians in the Central Plains have become extremely miserable. Under such circumstances, uprisings in various regions rose one after another.

So, in the end, what Ogedai did was retributed. With the support of the only remaining Mongol general, Jebe, Torre's son Kublai Khan, led a rebellion in the name of avenging his father. Ögedai, who had lost the support of the Mongol nobility, was soon killed by the rebels.

After killing Ögedei, Kublai Khan summoned the Mongol nobles and declared that they would guarantee their interests in order to gain support. So the Mongol nobles elected him and became the second emperor of the Yuan Dynasty.

But it's not over yet. Guiyu, who was leading his troops and pacifying the nomads of Central Asia on the frontier, immediately reacted when he heard that his father Ogedei had been killed by Kublai Khan, bringing nearly 200,000 elite iron horsemen from Central Asia. Prepare to kill Kublai Khan, take revenge and rob the emperor of the throne.

Although Takayu is also a rare commander. He has a high command art.,At the same time, he's a smart guy who's good at gathering people's hearts.。 But his opponent was Kublai Khan, the most powerful of the new generation of royal families in the Mongol Yuan Empire.

When he heard the news of the attack led by Guiyou, Kublai Khan immediately sprang into action, organizing his army and sending lobbyists to lobby the heads and chiefs of the Central Asian tribes. Promises of good, and threatens at the same time. In this way, when the armies of the two sides finally launched a decisive battle in the Great Gobi of the Western Regions. Those Kazakhs and Uzbeks in Central Asia defected one after another. Disrupted Kiyu's position. In the end, this pretentious son was defeated and died.

After defeating Guiyu, Kublai Khan's cavalry swept away the rebellion in the country in a whirlwind. At the same time, taxes were lowered and land was granted to the people to reassure the people. Then he waved his army to the west and successively crushed the army of the Tang State. And finally destroyed this rich country. But as he continued to win, his ambitions grew. Of course, he did not hide his ambitions at all. On the contrary, he spoke it out openly. "Norman Empire, I want to avenge my grandfather, and I want to lead the Mongol iron cavalry to completely conquer this country!"

"In this way, a new round of war is about to begin, and it will be interesting to see whether the young nomadic leader, the emperor of the Yuan Empire, will be victorious, or whether the great Egil Skadragrimsson will have the last laugh......

When Egil read the letter to the end, the emperor couldn't help but read it. When he had finished reading, Egil looked up and looked at Nemulis, who was staring at him. The beard curled, revealing Bai Sensen's teeth. It looks a little scary against the firelight.

"I really didn't expect that the people you carefully selected and sent to the Far East to monitor the people there turned out to be a home. This report is brilliantly written, unexpectedly written, and quite good. ”

"Yes, so, my lord. If you like it, it's fine. Nemulis breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Egil say this—this guy had appeared in front of Egil at an inopportune time when the battle was at its most intense. and claimed to have important information from the East to report to His Majesty the Emperor.

Such news made the emperor, who was immersed in the dream of storming Constantinople and enjoying endless glory, quite dissatisfied. But he still had a clear sense of priorities. Important information about the East?Who could it be but the terrible Mongols?The Emperor had envisaged that after the other side had regained some strength, it was likely that another expedition to the Western world would be launched.

Despite the fact that in the Moscow region was seized by Egil, millions of corpses were ambushed. However, the survival of the grassland peoples is indeed as tenacious as the weeds. In Egil's mind, these Mongols remained a formidable adversary. If the dregs of the Western world, the small kingdoms that have not been put on the table, are the disease of scabies, then the legendary Mongols are the main trouble.

So, upon learning of the news, Egil immediately delegated command of the battlefield to the mid-ranking Norman officers. Then he followed Nemulis back to the camp. I opened the envelope and started reading. The value of this letter is not bad. But after reading the letter that it was not bullshit from an intelligence point of view, Egil made this decision: "Remove the idiot who wrote this letter from his post." He likes to write so much, let him write it!"

In this way, the emperor inadvertently changed the fate of a person again. But that's not the point. The point is that, in fact, a few days ago, the emperor also received a letter from General Wende, who was building a castle in the Kazan region, reclaiming wasteland. According to the letter, the activities of the nomads east of the Ural Mountains have suddenly become more frequent.

Although its scale is not large, there are only a few dozen cavalry, or even a dozen horsemen. All they did was grab a cow and burn down two houses. But he felt that things were not normal. A group of hussars was sent to cross the Ural Pass to conduct reconnaissance.

The results surprised General Winder with the facts. To the east of the Ural Mountains, it was originally just a place of ordinary pastoral land. Now it has become a large barracks large enough to hold hundreds of thousands of troops. In addition, caravans were constantly entering to transport military supplies such as food, weapons, arrows, and medicinal herbs. It made him feel quite uneasy.

"The subordinates are now strengthening the defenses of the city of Kazan. And try to train the immigrants so that they can form a certain combat effectiveness in the short term. However, it is up to the sovereign to decide exactly how to act. ”

A worried letter arrived from General Winder. The emperor felt uncomfortable in his heart after seeing it. At this time, the Kazan region had been colonized for less than a year. If the Mongol army really crossed the Ural Mountains to attack. Then this colony is probably going to be destroyed. The colonization of Kazan was related to the future of the empire and its grand plan to control the vast and rich Siberia. The destruction of Kazan is something that Egil does not want to see in any case.

The two letters are one after the other. It fell into the hands of the Norman emperors. It made him feel very embarrassed.

Constantinople, which was about to be acquired, was as tempting as a stripped Empress Lilianu. But the Mongol threat was as dangerous as the rampaging Artoria. A few days earlier, after receiving a letter from General Wind, Egil had already decided to retreat. Still, he wanted to make one last attempt. Want to try your luck or Lilianu's who's better.

As long as you can crush Constantinople before something really happens. Then this gamble is considered a success. The time limit set by Egil for himself is half a month. After the capture of the Golden Horn, the Norman army will forcibly launch a half-month attack on Constantinople. In anticipation of the collapse of this sprawling capital. And if you say, after half a month, Constantinople is still standing. Egil would then send emissaries to negotiate with the Eastern Roman Empire. Then withdraw the troops back to Krakow. Preparations were made for the Ural Generation, the Kazan colony.

Of course, at the same time, the Norman Emperor also urged his spies to continue to inquire about the Far East, east of the Ural Mountains, and the Mongol Yuan Empire. In order to obtain more detailed and accurate military information. Use this to make a plan for the next step.

Then, in more detail. Or that the details are a bit too much, and the detailed information is not the local information. There are tyrants, careerists, tyrants, and constant wars. If it is compiled into a script, it will not be able to sell a lot of votes. But the question that was of the greatest concern to Emperor Egil - the Mongols, when, where, and how would they attack their empire. There is no mention of it here. Therefore, the emperor said here that the person who wrote the material was a failure, and it cannot be regarded as a mistake.

"Keep looking, I want more details. After a burst of fire at Nemulis, Egil waved his hand impatiently and said to him. Send him away.

"But it takes a lot of money to do it on a large scale, my lord. Nemulis protested quietly.

"I'll give you the money to do it. Hearing Nemulis say this, Egil snorted lightly, then walked over in small steps, lowered his voice and said to him, "I can also tolerate the 'drifting' of some of your funds. But there is a premise for this, you must complete the task I have given you!
