Today, Catholicism is full of domestic and foreign troubles. Needless to say, it is naturally legendary, and can fight against the terrifying Eastern Roman Empire in Europe alone. However, internal troubles are the contradictions between the Catholic nations.

Needless to mention the contradiction between France and Gernaya mentioned earlier, let’s talk about the three alliances of Northern Italy. Although the Pope is the nominal leader, Venice and Gernaya have their own thoughts. The relationship between Venice and Gernaya itself is not harmonious. Both sides regard each other as the most important competitors. Whether it is sea, road, military, or diplomacy.

This is true for business. Because both sides are too similar, the focus, strategy, and national policies are exactly the same. As the same goes, the peers are enemies and both sides want to monopolize the trade rights of the Mediterranean. There are hundreds of naval and land wars that broke out for this. Now even if a coalition forces are formed, they are still incompatible. They even want to cheat the other party.

Another one is the Catholic country that is most relied on in the traditional sense of the Holy Roman Empire. In the era of peace, the Holy Roman Empire tried hard to weaken the power of the Holy Roman Empire and prevent the unity of the Holy Roman Empire. In the moment of war, especially at this time, the first thing the pope remembered was the Holy Roman Empire. Why didn’t you come to save the emperor?!

That's it. In fact, the Holy Roman Emperor that Innocent III wanted was Otto I. However, the current situation forced him to make concessions. Otto I's Saxony Principality was in the North German region. He was eager to go south. If he wanted to quickly obtain reinforcements from the Holy Roman Empire, he had to rely on the southern German princes. Therefore, Innocent III sent an envoy to announce the unification of the Duke of Swabian Frederick as the emperor. He hoped that he could come to Rome to crown as soon as possible.

Of course, the army that aided Rome also had to bring it.

But Innocent III made the wrong plan.

The red-bearded Frederick was cruel and cunning, and his power was not inferior to Egil. It was just that he could support his two general election emperors in such a short time. He could see how this person was.

Now the civil war in the Holy Roman Empire is at its most critical moment. The other party, Otto I, even the major event of splitting Bolan, ended up sending thousands of soldiers. And Frederick almost wanted to break a penny in half and split a soldier into two envoys. As for the threat from the Eastern Roman Empire, this is indeed a problem. I will have lunch first.

And Frederick was also calm about the olive branch that the Holy See extended to him.

"The weather is so bad now, and the Alps are covered with snow." He said that he could not climb over. But the Holy See is relieved. When the flowers bloom next spring, believers will inevitably lead 200,000 German elites to travel south to serve the king. I am sincerely not lying. Of course, if the Holy See can't wait, you can also come to Swabian as a guest. I guarantee that you can't be wronged,"

Frederick's logic was the same as Egil's previous idea of ​​holding the Pope to make the princes of the continent. Innocent III was not a fool. Naturally, he understood what the other party meant. Frederick's reply almost made the Pope's Holy See more. At the same time, he also knew that the German princes were unreliable. Other Catholic countries were unable to protect themselves. The only way to obtain reinforcements was left was the Norman Kingdom.

Therefore, after Hildebrand returned to Rome, Innocent III soon summoned his cronie, hoping to get some good news from him.

Finally, Hildebrand told all the things he had made with the Normans, and took out a two-word parchment to Innocent III for his reading. Innocent III then breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "If this is the case, Rome will be safe, but the Norman King wants too much." As he said this, Innocent III shook his head.

It seems that people are like this. Life and death are indeed ranked first. But as long as life safety is guaranteed, you must start to care about other things.

Hildebrand looked at Innocent III quietly without saying a word.

"Listen," the pope said seriously to his confidant: "No one of these secular kings is reliable! Remember this firmly. You can use them. But you must never rely on them! We also need the power we can master! It is not those mercenaries, nor those feudal kings' army! It is truly "our army belonging to God!!"

Hildebrand nodded vigorously, and in his heart he agreed with what the Pope said. Indeed, if the Pope had its own powerful army, he would not have to run away to ask Egil for it like another person.

"When this matter is over, I will reorganize a well-known army." The Pope said: "And I have decided to hand it over to you for this matter."

""．

What "What? Are you down?! But I am just a bishop, and I have no military talent, this," Hildebrand looked at the pope in surprise: "I am really like this."

"No, no, no, you can learn something. The key is loyalty. It is loyalty," Innocent III said: "For things like training, you can hire mercenaries and Swiss people to train. But the one who really commands this army must be the ones who worship God!"

". I understand." Since the Pope has already said this, if he doesn't agree, he will not give face. Hildebrand nodded seriously. The Pope also waved his hand tiredly: "Go back and rest."

"I understand, the Holy See."

"But, although that's the case. But it's not possible to walk from Norantou to Italy in less than two or three months," the Pope thought of this and not only smiled bitterly: ".

In other words, do you have to stand for at least two months?”

At this moment, Normandy, Normandy, after the end of the year, the snow began to become smaller. The communication pigeon barely flew. So Egil got two news about the Scandinavian army. Now they have crossed the Ore Waterway. They will reach Normandy in about half a month. After Egil got the news, he decided to reorganize the army and set out south in five days.

Another news made Egil dispel this idea. In fact, because of the content of this news, Egil was in a mess and could not raise his energy to do other things.

Although the continent is now hit by blizzards, there are still some people who are not afraid of death who dare to cross the sea in such weather. These bastards who crossed the English Channel spread the matters between Egil and Joan of Arc, so Artoria became anxious when she heard this. She didn't care about the harsh climate of blizzards and other things. She forced her to go out to sea by boat.

After hearing this news, Egil committed suicide and went out to sea in such weather. Are you going to die?!

What should I do if you die?!

In this way, Egil did not want to eat or drink wine or bathe in the bath. He quietly prayed in the small prayer room for five days with Joan of Arc.

Of course, if the condition of "Joan of Arc accompanying him" can be removed, I think Artoria would be happier when she heard about it.

Five days later, the commercial port of the Duke of Normandy slowly passed a large Norman-style merchant ship with a ragged appearance. Standing on the bow was Her Majesty the Queen of Artoria, who looked tired, but was a hundred times more murderous aura than her fatigue.

""Tsk, finally it's here? Almost died," the queen said to herself.

But he looked indifferent.

But the sailors, captains, and the paddlers on this ship were not as indifferent as Her Majesty the Queen. Seeing that they were about to arrive on land, they were all filled with tears and cheering.

Indeed, I almost died.

However, Her Majesty the Queen did not like the sympathy of sadness of spring and autumn. After the ship was parked on the edge of the dock, she jumped directly from the boat gang, and then found a noble on the dock on the dock and punched it, and ran towards the Normandy Castle.

"...Borrow!!" The noble's shout was completely ignored by Her Majesty the Queen.

At this moment, Egil was still praying in the palace. Joan of Arc was beside him. Then he heard a clamor in unison. Egil frowned.

He stood up with some dissatisfaction. He was about to ask which bastard was so bold. He saw Artoria, who was carrying the sword of victory and the oath, come in.

But before Artoria could speak, Egil burst into tears. "Hani, you're fine, it's so good, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

""．

Ah, is that so? "Artolia was a little embarrassed by Egil's fuss. At the same time, a warm feeling surged in her heart.

"Sure enough, this guy is still a little conscientious. Is it true to pray for me?"
