Chapter 4 Saying Goodbye to Husband and Wife

In the end, after Artoria repeatedly guaranteed that she would not be stupid and rushed to the front with twelve knights, Egil thought for a moment and agreed. After all, Artoria's command ability is also quite good. Whether it is the inherent skill of choosing the King of Britain or the special skill of Death and Brutality, they are extremely powerful abilities. The twelve-point brutality value (because Artoria was executed by him, the brutality value of burying people was added to him. At the same time, the characteristic of her husband is Egil, which also adds two brutality), eight virtues, and six-point control, such attributes are also considered good. In addition, Artoria's status and personality can also suppress a group of arrogant soldiers and generals under her command.

So, in the end, Egil chose Artoria as the commander-in-chief of the Western Defense Legion. After Egil told Artoria about this news, Artoria seemed very happy. This made Egil feel a little disappointed. Indeed, it seems that a woman like Artoria cannot be tied to her for the rest of her life. Although she knew this was the case, Egil still felt uncomfortable.

Next, Egil thought for a moment and sent out a thousand Hussars, plus the 100 Knight Guards of Artoria's headquarters. After escorting her to Goth Castle, the Hussars would come back. The Knight Guards would sail to England with Artoria.

In the early morning, after breakfast, Egil helped Artoria put on her armor, then helped her get on the horse, and then followed her for a while and saw that it was already dawn, so he was reluctant to say goodbye. At the same time, he once again instructed: "Take a boat first, go to England, hand this letter to John, and he will obey your orders. Then assemble the Celtics as quickly as possible, the English then draw all the Hussars, 2,500 professional Viking warriors and 500 crossbowmen from the English garrison. Finally, go to Normandy. Be sure to remember that it is the guard - never attack rashly. Of course, if there is a good opportunity, you cannot miss it. The specific situation depends on your own control-"

"—Okay, OK, so long-lasting." Although that was said, Artoria waited until the end to interrupt Egil. Then she came to see him and kissed Egil's side face gently. When Egil came to her senses, Artoria had already ridden on her horse and ran away quickly.

"Go first and pay attention to safety. If it really doesn't work, break through and then retreat to England!!" Egil shouted at Artoria's back.

"Idiot! I won't lose!"

Artoria also shouted loudly, but disappeared after a while.

"It will be boring during this period." Egil sighed a little, then turned around and left with his guard knight. He had a premonition that he might not see Artoria for a long time.

After completing the layout for Western Europe, Egil can calm down and concentrate on dealing with the Swedish and Rossian coalition forces.

However, Egil was also a little strange. The Swedes had different relationships with the two Ross kingdoms, Novgorod and the Grand Duchy of Moscow. No, it would be better to say that the hatred between them was not less than that between the Norman Kingdom and the Swedish kingdom. So, how did Gustav convince Prince Novgorod Liurik and the Grand Duke of Moscow, Ekaterina II?

Three months ago, when Gustav formed an alliance with the two Ross kingdoms to fight the increasingly powerful and aggressive Norman kingdom, his ministers were also surprised to ask their king. So Gustav gave a very simple and clear answer: "It's very simple. I just wrote a letter to ask them a little bit: If a greedy country appeared next to them, would they like it? Then, I returned all the territory of Novgorod that I acquired. That's it."

That's right, that's it. The leaders of the two Ross countries are not fools. Naturally, they can understand what the other party said is true. Under Egil's leadership, the Norman Kingdom has become a powerful country that aims at the continental countries. Neither Liurik nor Ekaterina want such a neighbor to appear at their doorstep.

The two Ross leaders were also decisive. After making up their minds, they quickly made a decision and mobilized nationwide. A total of 40,000 troops were dispatched to aid Gustav. Among them, King Liurik of Novgorod also went to fight in person.

In this way, while Egil was booking to annex Sweden, the Three Kingdoms Alliance in the East was also busy mobilizing troops to recruit food and grass, and contacting the new Lithuanian Grand Duke Vitas (another one with the title of great emperor, known as the most typical Eastern European). Vitas, who was born as a Lithuanian noble, naturally had no favoritism for the culprit who destroyed the United Kingdom (although Egil's appearance indirectly promoted his status). Therefore, it hit it off.

Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia fugitives, plus many displaced nomads on the Eastern European grasslands, and even some Cossack hooligans joined Vitautas' army. Vitautas was surprised to find that the number of cavalry under his command had even exceeded the number of when Vadislaw fought with Egir. A total of 23,000 elite cavalry and nearly 10,000 other troops, such a gorgeous lineup encouraged Vitautas' ambitions. As a result, the Eastern Three Kingdoms Alliance became the Eastern Four Kingdoms Alliance...

That's it. Egil has not received Hans's letter of help yet, but it's not that Vitautas is timid, but that he is still waiting for an opportunity. Sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, the fisherman gains profit, the oriole behind, etc.

But then again, who among the monarchs of various countries involved in this war does not have their own little abacus?

It’s like now that Egir hasn’t even won the battle yet, he has already begun to imagine how much wealth can be plundered from Sweden? After defeating Novgorod and the Grand Duchy of Moscow, should they swallow them alive directly, or should they ask for compensation from various places and keep them there? Should we quickly declare the Norman Emperor after unifying the Baltic Sea in this way?

Ahhhhh…

Just like his wife Artoria, Egil also does not think he will fail. Extreme confidence and refusal to admit his conviction are the characteristics of this couple.

In just a few days, although the main forces of both sides did not engage in a battle, the cavalry and light cavalry under their command fought for no less than 30 consecutive times. The gunpowder smelled so strong that they were about to die. After the Hussars destroyed a Finnish light cavalry on the first battle, the cavalry on both sides did not stop. Egil also took this opportunity to obtain a lot of information about the cavalry on the other side.

Sweden has such a skill. Finnish light cavalry, plus feudal knights and employed knights that are used in continental China. In addition, their entourage second-level heavy cavalry, the total light and heavy cavalry is less than 600. Therefore, sometimes it is not a good thing to be too brave. Egil and Gustav had the first battle before, in the outskirts of Oslo and beside the Black Forest. A fierce battle won a great victory. Since Gustav, Swedish noble civilians have been running to the porpoise, but only less than 200 Finnish light cavalry who lack arms and legs are left to fight to the death. In the end, Egil was hated and respected and personally came to the front to surrender, but was almost played by the enemy with a charge.

...If you can't get it, you will destroy it.

At that time, Egil made up his mind that Finland would definitely be in his hands, so that this group of damn Finnish savages would kneel in front of him and lick his boots.

Or die!

What Egir really needs to pay attention to is the two Ross people. In fact, this statement is a bit incorrect. Novgorod's main body is still the Ross people. However, since the coup, the female grand duke Ekaterina II came to power, but the Slavs ruled. This is just based on historical inertia.

In these two countries, Novgorod's military configuration is very similar to the traditional Scandinavian army. A large number of tomahawk infantry, two-handed axe soldiers with strong impact, tomahawk cavalry, and a small number of Nordic archers who use single bows. Such a military configuration is a scumbag in Egil's eyes. You can completely despise it with extreme superiority.

What made Egil feel slightly tricky was the heavy cavalry unit of the Grand Duchy of Moscow.

After gaining power in this country, Caterina II suppressed all those who opposed her with extremely terrifying bloody means, and then with abundant experience and clever skills, the country quickly got on track. Restricting the rights of the nobles, controlling the military power, and reforming the political system, the woman's actions seemed like an extremely wise king. Various news from the intelligence system, as well as a fine-sketched portrait of Caterina II. Egil gave this woman an extremely accurate definition: her face is not beautiful, but her heart is better than a snake or scorpion.

This time, the woman did not go to war in person, but her lover, Semenovsky, the general of the Imperial Guard of the Grand Duchy, commanded the army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow.

During the cavalry wars in the past few days, Egil obtained the information of the enemy cavalry as follows: Cossack light cavalry riding a very fast war horse and having precise cavalry skills. Although it is much weaker than the professional Hussars under Egil in melee combat, the cavalry skills are quite good. In addition, the Boyer Javelin Cavalry, which is very similar to the Polish noble Javelin Cavalry. These Javelin Cavalry wearing scales are excellent in both long-range and melee combat.
