With a smile that was hypocritical to the extreme, but looked like it was real, Egil greeted and hugged the kings who came to greet him one by one. If you are young, you wish him a long and healthy life, and if you are old, you will have a son as soon as possible...... It's also strange to say that there are very few people who have sons in this vote at this moment. If a terrorist reports a bomb and drills into this group of emperors, kings and dukes, most of the European royal family will be wiped out. Egil felt it deeply at this time.

Doing things that lack virtue is not good for the heirs, and this kind of thing turns out to be true.

Historically, many of those great, vile, shameless and obscene kings have had bad children, which may be the reason why they have done too many things due to their lack of virtue. At this moment, the kings of the European continent are basically a group of people who have made a lot of achievements in the original history, that is, they lack virtue and lack of virtue. It's normal not to be able to give birth to a son.

However, Egil felt a sharp pain in his back in the middle of speaking, and when he turned around, he saw Artoria looking at him with a big smile. It was more murderous than last night, when she had slashed hundreds of pirates. Egil suddenly realized that their family was also lacking in great virtue and couldn't give birth to children......

In that case, there is no need to say anything more, "The pride of the Tao at the level of morality" seems to be that people like Egil should not have such a thing in the first place.

After that, without taking a break, after taking a quick shower and washing away the smell of blood, and then changing his clothes, Egil convened the great meeting of the crusaders as a landlord!

And this crusade, as Egir said, and all the kingdoms of Europe, all the virtuous, devout Christian kings, the embodiment of righteousness and justice, the greatest and most unscrupulous people, under the command of the greatest and most unscrupulous people, gathered all the best soldiers of the whole of Europa. The holy war against the evil, the heretical, the depraved and corrupt, the demonic heretic, which encompasses all the justice and justice of the world.

The leaders and armies of the countries participating in the crusade were as follows: Norman Empire, Egilska de la Grímsson. He commanded 70,000 elite Norman professional troops and 50,000 temporarily conscripted Eastern European soldiers, for a total of 120,000 troops.

Holy Roman Empire, Emperor directly under the Duchy of Austria and the Kingdom of Bō Simia, Albert II. He commanded 30,000 German and Czech professional soldiers, and 15,000 knights and nobles armed with temporary conscripts.

Kingdom of France, Philip II. He commanded 20,000 French professional soldiers, 20,000 knights and nobles, and temporarily conscripted soldiers.

Kingdom of Burgundy, Charles IV. He commanded 10,000 Burgundian professional soldiers and 20,000 mercenaries from Switzerland, Italy, and Germany.

Kingdom of Britain, Queen of Altoria. Commanded 30,000 Celtic professional soldiers.

Attila, Kingdom of Hungary. 5,000 Hungarian cavalry under his command.

Venice Republic, Vitterdamdoro, commanded 10,000 Venetian professional soldiers and 5,000 Italian mercenaries.

Holy Roman Empire, Duchy of Milan, Holy Roman Empire, Duchy of Bavaria, Henry III. Ten thousand German soldiers.

Holy Roman Empire, Duchy of Hesse, Luciverd. 10,000 professional German soldiers.

Holy Roman Empire, Duchy of Brandenburg, Frederick II. 10,000 German professional soldiers.

Holy Roman Empire, Duchy of Swabia, Henry VI. 10,000 German professional soldiers.

In addition to these kings from Catholic countries, Basil II from the Eastern Roman Empire of Orthodox Christianity, brought with him 80,000 Greek professional soldiers. The Grand Duchy of Moscow, which also belongs to the Orthodox faith, provided 5,000 conscripts, led by Crown Prince Paul.

In total, on the Norman side, the 70,000 professional troops directly under Egil, the 30,000 professional troops directly under Artoria, the 50,000 troops temporarily conscripted, and the 5,000 soldiers and horses of the vassal state of Moscow totaled only 155,000. However, on the way, some of them were lost due to the war. Rounded to the nearest 150,000. In addition, Burgundy, which was an ally of the Norman Empire, also had 30,000 soldiers under its command, and Hungary, which was more inclined to the Norman Empire, could also provide 5,000 soldiers, although this part of the army also suffered a slight loss last night, but it was not too much. In this way, the total number of troops favored by Egil is more than 180,000. ...,

The second largest force is the alliance between Germany and France. Forty-five thousand soldiers of the Holy Roman Empire, and forty-thousand French soldiers, in fact, if you count the armies of other members of the Holy Roman Empire... With a total of 55,000 troops from Bavaria, Brandenburg, Hesse, Swabia and Milan, the strength of this alliance would reach 140,000.

But it's credible. It's like I said it before. The current Holy Roman Emperor, Albert II, did not have such a high prestige. Therefore, among these countries, except for Henry VI, Duke of Swabia who had a deep enmity with the Noryan Empire, the other countries had an ambiguous attitude. Even in Bavaria, Austria's neighbor, Henry III, who conspired with Albert, came on a Norman ship......

As the third major force, it is the legendary Eastern Roman Empire, which once singled out the entire Europe. Although it has been quite a bit of a decline recently. But the emaciated Luo Luo is bigger than the horse,

What's more, the Eastern Romans are only malnourished for a while. Far from emaciating. Eighty thousand Greek soldiers of the profession. The actual combat effectiveness is definitely stronger than the fragile alliance between Germany and France, which are in second place. The reason for the third place is that the vast majority of the members of the coalition are of the Catholic faith. Instinctively rejecting the Eastern Roman Empire, Sir II didn't even think about it, he would never be able to get the command of this alliance. It is not so much the Eastern Roman Empire as a member of this alliance. It's more of an ally outside the entire alliance.

In addition to these three forces, there was also a considerable number of spontaneously organized rabble among the crusaders. The peasants who lost their land, the shabbys, the hooligans, the adventurers and careerists, the wandering knights, of course, and more often than not, the fanatical and incomprehensible Catholics—or rather, the whole gives the impression that this is the case. Whatever their purpose, at least when asked about them, they replied: "We joined this war for the pilgrimage to Jerusalem!"

That's it. This group of people did not owe allegiance to any emperor, king, or other nobleman. Or, as one wandering knight put it: "We owe allegiance to the whole Crusader One or Jesus Christ." "There were no more of them than even the officers of the Norman Empire, who had always been rigorous. Maybe thirty thousand, maybe fifty thousand, maybe more or less, every day the island of Cyprus receives a whole bunch of such self-proclaimed crusaders, and every day sends the same number of these fellows to Syria, Jerusalem and Egypt......

Calculated in this way, the total strength of the entire crusader army would be more than four hundred thousand. The war between the European coalition and the Eastern Romans was even larger than a few years ago. If we add in the naval strength of the Norman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire, which is not small, as well as the Crusader exiles who are still rushing over, then this number is very likely to reach 500,000! Such a terrifying figure made the European princes, who had always measured it in "thousands," feel extremely crazy and excited.

At that time, there was a column of bards that sang: Norman from the north, Rome from the south, from France, from Germany, from Italy...... The princes and nobles led tens of thousands of troops to wade through mountains and rivers to the oceans. Their weapons were shining, and their armor was shining. They outnumbered the Achaeans, and the Christian army gathered under the banner of the cross was 500,000 and was about to march to Jerusalem for victory. O mighty and mighty O mighty Warriors of the Lord Christ, Blessed Kings!

However, perhaps the scene is indeed majestic. It's easy to get your blood boiling, but there's another question: if we compare this group of people to the Achaeans who destroyed Troy, then who will be Agamemnon, who will be Achilles, and who will play the horn of Achilles?

"Of course it's me!" Egil's fist slammed on the table, "Of all of you here, there is no one more suitable to be the commander of the coalition forces than me! And I won the victory!" Basil II of Eastern Rome was absent. Otherwise, the uncle would have objected to Egil's statement.

"Your Majesty is indeed very qualified as a commander-in-chief...... However, it does not seem to be very strong in terms of uniting allies...... Many countries were dissatisfied with the Norman Empire. And your empire has had its share of disputes with many countries. So ......" next to the Emperor Li II said sleekly: "I think your position should probably be a little more professional and more targeted." For example, in the military aspect......"

"Indeed, I think so, too. Next to him, Albert II nodded and said, "Although ability is an important aspect. However, the choice of the alliance leader should be based on unity. Your Majesty at this point, it seems, is not good enough. ”

"Is that so?" Egil chuckled and looked at Albert II, "You must be quite confident that you can unite more countries?"
