When the news reached the Norman Emperor, the tyrant, and the madman who had a good chance of unifying all of Europe in the future, smiled happily. Such hysterical behavior of the Pope did not frighten him. Not even at all. Instead, Egil sees the message as a gamble on everything. It is a direct manifestation that the other party has gone crazy. In addition to this, it is also a plan of his own, the result of the success of the conspiracy.

The first soldier of the Norman Empire to be canonized as a marshal, the Norman Empire's naval veteran. It is now stationed on the island of Malta and leads a navy of 20,000 men. More than 400 warships. Always ready to go north and attack Rome. Carter, the supreme commander of the Open Sea Fleet, who destroyed it. It's not that easy to buy. Although the chips given by Rome were quite high, even the soldier who was quite loyal to Egil was a little tempted

"If you can join us in this war, the righteous side, then after the war, the Pope will crown you king of Sicily, and the whole of Sicily, Naples and the islands of southern Italy will be included in your kingdom, and you will be canonized as a saint!"

When the Roman envoy arrived on the island of Malta on a merchant ship, he secretly met with Marshal Carter and offered such a price. The aging general couldn't help but be stunned. Greed and lust swelled up in his heart, but soon the general remembered the words of his lord a few months ago, after he had taken possession of the island of Malta with his offshore fleet a few years earlier. Not an exhortation, not a promise, but a command as cold as ice:

There will be a war between the Norman Empire and the Holy See. When the time comes, you will inevitably be one of the keys to victory or defeat. In order to prevent the back road from being raided, the Holy See will inevitably woo you in every possible way. Money, status, honor, beauty. The temptations you will face will be innumerable, and I will tell you that you can swallow all these things. You also have to agree to the other party's request. I want you to surrender to the Holy See, and then, when the Holy See army heads north to fight my army on land, your fleet must go north as fast as possible to occupy Rome!

At that time, the Norman Emperor stared at him with a ghostly glow in his eyes, like a hungry wolf, like an eagle falcon, like a devil. Let Carter memorize this order firmly, rigidly. Under such a terrifying gaze, Carter did not dare to say a word. And for the betrayal of the emperor, he didn't even dare to think about it.

"When this is done, I will canonize you the whole of Sardinia, and make you a duke! Word. ”

Of course, a barren, barren Sardinia is nothing compared to the whole barren and barren Two Sicilies. And think about it again. Sardinia, and the two Sicilies, all of them were the territory of the Eastern Roman Empire! This promise is very cheating!

The papal emissary explained it like this: "The Greeks didn't want the Norman Empire to become stronger. And their sea power in the Mediterranean has also been weakened a lot. So, if your army occupies Naples and Sicily, the most they can do is protest. Absolutely not to do anything irrational. ”

And Egil's acceptance is even more domineering: "This is my promise. Even the Greeks must not interfere!"...,

And just like that, poor Marshal Carter lamented his fate. After the emissary of the Holy See said these words, he shuddered as he recalled what his emperor had said at that time, and shook his head and sighed. And all this, in the eyes of the emissary of the Holy See, it was this general who hesitated, and the war between heaven and man in his heart behaved as Egil had said in advance, after General Carter occupied the island of Malta, especially in the year when Innocent III was still alive, Carter led the fleet to the north and "exercised" at the door of the Holy See.

As Egil said. After that, the papacy's money, beauties, promises and honors poured in. Some were accepted by Marshal Carter. Others were used to bribe the commanders of his various detachments. Even if it is just a captain, a centurion, the Holy See will give a reward. This made the hearts of the entire open sea fleet fluctuate for a while. And it is true that there are some people who have been bought.

Prepare to move closer to the Holy See.

"Find out what to do. ”

When the heart of the messenger of Rome rose to his throat, Marshal Carter nodded, opened his eyes and said the decision: "Find a decision, and accept the blessings of the throne." Fight for the Holy See, for the Holy Faith. Even if it is to find a way that is contrary to loyalty. ”

That's it. When Marshal Carter finally said such a thing and declared his betrayal of the Norman Emperor in a clear manner, the Pope of Rome, who got the news, sighed: "Finally, this most troublesome matter has been solved." ”

First of all, there was this incident, and then there was such an exaggerated thing as the Holy See to eliminate the kings of the Seven Kingdoms in one day. That's why there were all kinds of changes after that.

And when the Norman Emperor received such news, he also sighed: "Finally, my efforts have not been in vain. Immediately after that, the speed of the Norman army increased a few points again. All the way to the south, in the direction of the Brandenburg army, which was at a loss because of such a change. On the other battlefield, the Norman army was completely unaffected, and still went all the way south, occupying a large territory north of the Danube in just half a month. Just like during the Holy Roman Empire's war with the Norman Empire, all the town flags along the way were replaced with the Norman Empire's Phoenix Banner.

At the same time, in the case of the triumph of the Norman Pioneer Army. Henry of Bavaria also handed over his own decision to Henry of Swabia. He hoped that Henry of Swabia would retreat like him. He voluntarily abandoned the lands north of the Danube and retreated to the south bank of the Danube, waiting for reinforcements from northern Italy and the Holy See. After the army is all assembled, go north and launch a counterattack to regain the lost territory.

It's just that for such a result, Henry, the fierce lion of Bavaria, can accept one~ because south of the Danube, there are still quite a few of his territories. The capital, Munich, was also preserved on the south bank of the Danube. But if Swabia were to be like him, then his two most important cities, Frankfurt and even Swabian, the once imperial capital, would fall into the hands of the Normans. Although he was once evaluated by the Norman Emperor as a second-rate city, this does not mean that Henry will easily give him away. And such a large-scale loss of territory, the Swabian aristocracy would never agree to it.

"If you want to be a coward, you can do it alone! Either way, it's a hundred times stronger than Xun He's stealing life!" At that time, Henry of Swabia, who was young and vigorous and had a vendetta against Egil who killed his father, wrote a letter to another Duke Henry. And his heroic and even tragic atmosphere also completely infected the Swabian army under his command, and the Swabian army, a total of 18,000 people, began to advance northward. Prepare for a decisive battle with the Hessian army entrenched in Frankfurt and even the 40,000-strong army of the Norman vanguard. ...,

However, all this was in vain. When his marching route, goals, and even troop strength and troop configuration are all known to the other party, his fate is finally doomed, and he will fail and end in a tragedy.

The commander of the Norman vanguard, Sula, immediately informed the commander of the Western Front, Lucivide, to abandon the city of Frankfurt, feign a retreat, and move closer to the east, in his own direction.

Although it is said that this is the case, it is a little unpleasant to be ordered by a person whose title is only a viscount. But Lucived, Duke of Hesse, who had only mobilized 10,000 troops, finally decided to follow Sulla's orders.

Abandoned Frankfurt an enemy twice as many as his army. And the morale is high, and he rushes towards him with a death-seeking momentum. And after the capture of Frankfurt, he also plundered his troops. The citizens of Frankfurt had a very poor opinion of him, and the people's mood was unstable. Defending the city in such a situation is really not the work of a wise man.

So, without much effort, Duke Henry recovered Frankfurt, the largest city north of Swabia. After a victory, the Swabian army was in even higher spirits. After two days' rest, Duke Henry urged his army along the path of the enemy's retreat, and after five days' march, his army was confronted by 43,000 Norman troops and 10,000 Hessian troops on the banks of the Rhine, in a hilly area covered with withered yellow vegetation.

October 2, 1007. This is a day that history is destined to record. During this day, the north and south were divided, and the first battle was fought near Marlborough on the banks of the Rhine by the Norman Empire and the Holy See. The beginning of this battle marked an all-out war between the two camps. A great war that engulfed the whole continent began.

"Crossbowmen, prepare to shoot, engineers, adjust the ballistas! Lookouts are going to give the enemy who is looking for a head-on blow!" shouted Sulla, the commander of the North Saxon Legion and the Norman Viscount, in the midst of the already set up formation...... , (To be continued).
