Chapter 9 Troubled

After signing such a treaty, everyone was very happy. It happened that the nobles of other countries had not left because of the heavy snow. So the special envoy of the Pope announced the news in public. Of course, the restoration related to money, title, territory, etc. would not be said. Only one thing he wanted to say was: the devout Norman King Egil had made a decision. He wanted to lead the brave Norman Knights south to save the crisis of the Pope.

As soon as the news came out, both believers and pseudo-believers cheered and congratulated King Egil and Bishop Hildebrand. Some of the more easily moved nobles immediately expressed that they would form an army after returning to their territory and surround Rome. Although these nobles alone didn't seem to be anything, if there were too many, they would be a force that could be used. Hildebrand was naturally happy and immediately praised their piety.

And it means that the Pope will never treat these warriors who fought for Christ.

After that, there was another day of banquet, and another day of lights and wine. However, the bishop was anxious to go back to the Pope before the snow stopped. At the same time, he repeatedly reminded Egil, hoping that he would go south after the snow stopped.

Egil was a little embarrassed: "Even if the snow stops, it's full of snow, and it's very difficult to marche and supply. I think it's better to wait for the ice and snow to melt after spring."

Hildebrand heard: This is not good. Your side is indeed a continental climate. Winter is winter, and we don’t want to fight no matter we are enemies. But it is not good in Italy. Italy has a typical Mediterranean climate, with all seasons like spring. So you can use troops continuously. You can rest like this and wait for a few months before sending troops. Rome may be defeated there. How can this be feasible?!

So the bishop was mourning and persuaded Egil hesitated, thinking that this was indeed a matter. He said to Hildebrand: "Then, please sign another treaty with me. It declared that our army's move to the south to rescue Rome was a righteous act of blessing by God. Therefore, wherever the army passed, it could collect all resources on the spot. Anyone who did not follow was punished on the charge of heresy. If this was the case, then his 45,000 Norman army would be willing to go to Italy overnight.

The bishop thought to himself: This is probably the reason why King Norman did this... He was punished on the charge of heresy." It was really a big hat. Giving such rights to Egil would be equivalent to handing over the telegraph to the perverted murderer? However, now all the thirty-three temples have knelt down, and Bishop Hildebrand gritted his teeth and thought to himself: Anyway, the special code is not my territory. I just want to do whatever I want. I just want King Norman to bring his troops here quickly.

In this way, the Pope's envoy signed such an affiliated treaty with Egil. He then left in a carriage with his entourage.

In the next half month, it was actually a lie that the snow was getting heavier and heavier. The climate in Normandy was much better than that in Scandinavia.

Although in the eyes of the Italians, such bad weather was completely unsuitable for combat. However, for the Normans, it was just a small scene. Egil wanted to wait a little longer.

Wait a minute and see what the Holy Roman Empire is going to do. I won’t say much about the grudges and hatred between the Holy Roman Empire and the Pope. Anyway, Egil doesn’t believe it, and the Holy Roman Empire will sit by and watch the demise of the Pope. In addition, there are five thousand troops waiting for reinforcements in the country to be divided as the Brittany garrison army.

Coupled with the battle with Joan of Arc, the Norman army lost thousands of troops. Now Norman has only more than 40,000 troops left.

According to the news from the spy, the total number of troops dispatched by Eastern Rome in the Apennines was 37,000, which were basically on par with the Norman army. So Egil would rather wait for a while.

Wait until the army recovers to the level of 50,000 troops. Then send troops.

At this time, three types of recruitment buildings were established in Normandy Castle, including castle barracks, heavy cavalry stables, and projection range. Most of the troops can be recruited here. However, some advanced troops, like the Norman Royal Knights and the Death Charge Warriors, need to be recruited in Scandinavia and Oslo fortresses. The special dwarf guard mercenaries can only be hired in Scandinavia. It takes about a month to go from Scandinavia to Normandy. Egil decided to wait half a month, and then take the army first. Walk slowly by himself."

The follow-up troops will go faster. That's it.

Besides that, there is one thing to worry about.

Artoria.

Well, it's not worth worrying, it should be said that it's a matter of fear. When Biyad held a banquet, what both parties said was still vivid in their minds. Artoria swears, "If any expensive lady likes you, I'll kill her" or something.

So Egil thought. Joan of Arc, who seems to be from a civilian family, cannot be regarded as a noble or a lady. But he was once the commander of the whole France. So if you take it seriously, it should be much more noble than those Countesses, countesses, etc. So Egil thought about it for a moment.

"If it's a nun, there's no problem with Yingwen?"

〖Answer〗The answer is of course no.

Artoria, who was furious, would never play word games with Egil. She could think of anything she could do with her toes. She must have waved the sword of victory and oath in her hand and directly cut off the couple Yinfu.

Although Egil is actually clear and innocent between Jean Arc.

OK, kissed.

But I just kissed it. There are no other ones at all! Really!

Of course, Egil didn't have the idea of ​​fighting Joan of Arc. Although at the beginning, Egil just wanted to add a good general to his country. At the same time, he would reduce resistance when he occupied France in the future. After that, Egil found that he was completely unsurprisingly trapped by Joan of Arc's holy figure.

This is different from Artoria.

If Egil loves Artoria because of his mutual attraction, because he and Artoria are the same kind of people. They are the kind of comrades who can understand each other and have the same knowledge and interests.

So if he likes each other, then his love for Joan of Arc is the kind of toad for swans. I mean darkness yearns for light. As for why Joan of Arc fell in love with Egil. Maybe it is because good girls always like bad boys. In addition, it is Egil's attitude towards Joan of Arc.

It's first love. Yes, it's first love. It's a sweet first love, and it seems like Egil has a sweet mouth like that. He looks very good and young. Especially Egil himself can take care of it. He couldn't cause harm when he had no money in the past two years. The treasury has been abundant in the past two years.

I use milk for bathing every day. I also specially exchanged hairstylists, nutritionists and beauticians, royal tailors and costume designers, etc., which greatly corrected Egil's appearance.

There is a habit in Europe today. Every king has a nickname. Just like the French king Philip II, who is now nicknamed the fox because he is cunning. Charles, the Duke of Burgundy, is bold because he is bold and does things in a special way, so he is nicknamed (silly) bold. Frederick, the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire of the Southern God, is nicknamed the Red Beard. Otto, the emperor of the Northern God, is nicknamed the One Eternal...,..., etc.

When Egil first debuted, he was nicknamed White Bird because of various tax bonuses and the blue background of the flag. Of course, when Egil moved to various places, his soldiers were powerful. His nickname was naturally changed to the northern Greedy Wolf. This nickname sounded quite domineering.

But everyone who has seen Egil believes that Egil's nickname should be a handsome man. More noble ladies who are waiting to be a good man have complained about the beautiful man marrying an ugly man. They think it really ruined Egil's face.

It's almost like this. When a boy who is rich, powerful, ideal, ambition and talented, especially with a handsome face, and still puts down his figure to coax your sweet words to appear, you can marry.

But it is said that 95% of first love are failures...

Forget it, this kind of thing can be discussed later. Now the most urgent thing is that before Artoria comes back, Egil has actually thought about it. Then let Joan of Arc hide in the monastery. He deceived Artoria and leave. Anyway, that girl is not very good at using her mind. She can't stand Egil's tongue.

In this way, on December 8th, because the Normandy cathedral was still under construction, Egil even sent Joan of Arc as a guest to his palace. Speaking of which, "This black nun dress was really decent when worn on Joan of Arc. Although his wide robe hid Joan's concave and convex body, in contrast, it also gave Joan of Arc a considerable bonus to his holy temperament. Egil even felt that someone might just look at Joan of Arc and feel ashamed of himself.

Of course, Egil is not listed.

"What are you looking at, Your Majesty?" Joan of Arc, who was sitting opposite, looked at Egil intently, blushing a little. So he asked.

"Of course I'm looking at you. Joan of Arc." Egil said this, and reached out to touch Joan of Arc's side face. However, this action was stopped by Joan of Arc.

"Please pay attention to your identity. Your Majesty." Joan of Arc grabbed Egil's hand and then put him back to his original place.

"Everyone said it, just call me Egil." Egil smiled completely distracted.

Joan of Arc shook his head gently: "This is not possible."

"Why do you have to be so disgusting?" Egil was a little surprised.

"Because." Joan of Arc sighed softly: "If it were before, I did, but now, I have become a nun, so I naturally have to keep my chastity. So I can only say sorry for Your Majesty's wishes."

Looking at Joan of Arc with an apology, Egil was speechless for a long time.
