Chapter Nineteen Comes to an End

In the end, Egil made such a decision and agreed to an alliance with Moscow. He was at ease and paid tribute to 20,000 gold coins from Moscow. He also wrote a letter that was extremely arrogant, just like the emperor of the Sect Master's Kingdom's tone to the King of Fanbang, "encouraging" Moscow's loyalty. At the same time, he agreed to the alliance with Moscow.

However, secretly, Egir ordered the Norman merchants under his rule to treat the food trade to Novgorod and Moscow differently due to the long journey and the numerous checkpoints along the way. Novgorod was at a more favorable price. At the same time, he discussed with the Royal Court and selected a small number of trustworthy and controllable merchants, asking them to bring various contraband items stipulated by Egir: fine iron, feather arrows, and even a set of spears, shields, and even a composite armor of the board and chain to Novgorod, and sold them at a fair price or even at a loss.

Egil even wrote a letter asking Liurik if he wanted him to send some instructors to help him train the army and even command the battle. However, Liurik refused without hesitation. He must have believed Errik.

Egil was busy for so long, but he was still in a vague sense of anxiety about Moscow. The female grand duke of Moscow went there. To be serious, although both sides were tense during that period, they did not actually declare war. Diplomatic relations were still calculated to be neutral, and the reality was also yellow (hostile) in the system interface.

Therefore, Egir did not care much about himself. When sending envoys to Novgorod and the Grand Duchy of Moscow, he also sent a diplomatic mission headed by the diplomat Sed to Lithuania, hoping to establish equal diplomatic relations with Lithuania and sign trade treaties to facilitate the development of trade activities between the two sides. In this way, he released goodwill and earn some money for the Norman Kingdom.

Psychologically speaking, whether it is the Grand Duke of Lithuania among the three Baltic Kingdoms or the heir of the United Kingdom, Vitautas, for the Norman Kingdom, which occupied the Livornia region, indirectly destroyed the second of the three Baltic Kingdoms, and directly led to the defeat of the United Kingdom, it was completely and had no favorable impression.

No, it is better to say that it is not good-faith, but malicious. He wants to destroy this country at all times, kill all their soldiers, then pull their king off the throne, kick off his noble head with Norman iron crown, peel off his skin, lift up the skull, dig out his brain, then put it on gold edges, and put it under the bed as a chamber pot.

--but.

"Ah hahaha... That's right, indeed, I have good intentions for the Norman Kingdom. I admire King Egil and his Norman heroes and are willing to be close to him."

This was the reply of Grand Duke Vitaus. He took the exquisite pottery, fur, silk and porcelain from the East and other gifts brought by the messenger very happily. He signed the trade treaty that was obviously beneficial to the Norman merchants, as well as the non-aggression treaty, etc. very happily.

The so-called hero is almost like this. And the so-called situation is stronger than that of people, and that is exactly the case...

In this way, from May 1001 to August 1002, it lasted for a total of one year and three months, and affected the entire Baltic coast, except for the Holy Roman Empire. In the end, the Kingdom of Sweden, the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, these two powerful kingdoms were destroyed. More than half a million people died in war and millions were displaced. The battle, which was named the First Baltic Total War, finally came to an end.

The biggest winner of this battle is to annex Sweden, vassal of Finland, and seize Livonia and Prussia. The capital is the Danish territory of Gotland, and the capital is located on the coast of Novgorod. The capital is the newly established St. Petersburg, which is named Nova Scandinavia.

In this way, Egil bought two cities in Sweden (Gothenburg, Stockholm); Finland's no... (reluctance); two cities in Livornia (Riga, Vilnius); three cities in Prussia (Konisburg, Marinburg, Danze); Danish territory (Getland); and Neo Scandinavia (St. Petersburg, Pskov).

At this point, the Norman Kingdom had unified all the territories along the Baltic Sea except the Pomeranian region, and the cities increased to 18 (including two Celtic cities). It rose successfully and became a European power like the Kingdom of France and the Holy Roman Empire. It was completely inferior in military terms, and its political system and economic status were even stronger than these two countries. If it continued to develop like this, it might even become a continental overlord comparable to Eastern Rome.

So Egil transformed again, from the braised carp of that year, and became a European alligator, officially entering the predator level.

After working in the Royal Court for a whole day, he had a dinner with the Royal Court and the Royal Court for the Disciplinary Officer and the Disciplinary Officer. Finally, he finalized the foreign policy with the three Eastern European countries, prevented Lithuania, suppressed Moscow, and supported Novgorod, and then formulated the Kingdom's fiscal revenue and expenditure budget for the next quarter. He talked about the next direction of technological development in the Kingdom. There was also the matter of continuing reinforcements to Normandy. In terms of diplomacy, if he had finished fighting with France, he would still cut him a piece of meat and so on... In this way, Egil was busy for a day, and his head was three or four times widened, and then he was finished.

Under the moonlight, Egil was lying alone on the lounge chair on the balcony of the palace, drinking iced grape juice in front of the moonlight - of course the night wind was a little cool, so Egil covered with a quilt. This way, she looked a little full and full of food. But Egil liked to do this.

After a while, when the maids reopened Egil's cup about five times, Egil felt a little bored and missed his wife very much. Suddenly, such a voice came from behind him.

"Congratulations. The system elves said to Egil insincerely."
