As soon as Venice surrendered, the barrier to the east of Northern Italy completely disappeared. It had already controlled the entire Balkan Peninsula and most of the Eastern Roman Empire in Hungary, and could march through Venice by land, or across the Adriatic Sea and by sea to march into the Apennine Peninsula.

In other words, Eastern Rome could immediately open up a second battlefield. It marched from Northern Italy and destroyed the Roman Catholic Church by attacking north and south.

After receiving the news, Egil was stunned for a moment, but then he felt that it was normal. In fact, if the coalition forces entered the Apennine Peninsula two days later, then Renaya would not be able to surrender.

Now, the Catholic Fonwan army came to the side of Renaya. However, there were also four legions of Eastern Roman army on the side of Venice. In this way, it is not difficult to foresee where Venice and Renaya were going.

The two northern Italian enemies eventually split up and became enemies.

In fact, there are some things that Egil didn't know. For example, the old fox, the current Governor of Venice, actually thought a little while before surrendering to Eastern Rome. After all, surrendering, changing the clan, and surrendering. Such very shameful things are easy to be looked down upon.

There were also many Catholic fans in Venice. Two days after the decision was announced, from Venice to Bologna, and from Bologna to Lagusa. In the entire Venetian Republic, a total of six riots broke out in the past two days. One time, the regular army of Venice turned directly, and the three Venetian heavy infantry teams, together with two Italian spear militias of the thousand-man teams, changed their flags and announced their joining the Crusaders.

Although such an riot was eventually stronger by the old man, and Dandoro, who was in his eighties, still had no trace of deterioration, was suppressed by bloody suppression. The riot of the regular army was also defeated and then fled. But Dandoro knew that "the whole of Venice is now sitting on a crater. A little turbulence would lead to the end of the corpse without any slaughter.

A little regretful.

Of course, even if Dandoro regrets it, he will never blame himself. He blames himself and says, "Why don't you hold on? If you hold on, you might become a hero in the Catholic world."

He complained about the Crusaders, the Catholic coalition led by Norman.

"Why don't you act earlier? Just make a gesture and go south to rescue Rome. Then I will naturally be able to raise an army to respond~

No, even if you don’t do this, just reply to me with a letter. Give me a little more peace of mind. I can’t surrender to Eastern Rome so quickly. You are so sister! Egil! You are a scumbag!!”

So, that's it. The fall of the Republic of Venice is quite related to Egil. But Egil will never admit it.

The war has expanded a lot. Eastern Europe, the Balkans, and Italy, these two battlefields were finally brought together because of Venice's submission. A total of hundreds of thousands of troops gathered under different banners. "For their respective beliefs, territories" hegemony and money were fought bravely. After receiving information about Venice, Egil made a quick decision. A hundred thousand troops quickly set out and ordered King Philip II of France, as the commander of the coalition army, Andrew, the governor of Genoa, to lead the troops of the headquarters, and the rest of the chaotic troops who participated in the crusades at their own expense, a total of 13,000 troops heading south to open up the battlefield of Gu II and support Rome. He and Charles Duke of Burgundy, he led 65,000 troops to the north to "fight with Venice" Eastern Rome.

This layout seems a bit uneven: something so important to rescue Rome should be ranked first. And attacking the other 40,000 troops of Venice and Rome should be the second most important.

Moreover, including the extremely hard-working army of the Pope in Rome, the army of its own Catholic front is only more than 30,000. However, the Eastern Roman Empire, after hearing that the coalition forces entered Italy, dispatched troops and generals. Now the Eastern Roman troops gathered under the tent of the two Sicily plenipotentiary governors Narcis, including four regular legions and two garrison legions. A total of 50,000 armies! And they are almost all professional troops. Compared with France, their combat effectiveness is at least twice as high as that of France.

On the contrary, there were only four regular legions in the way of fighting Egil, and barely adding the newly affiliated people of Venice, there were 50,000 people. Egil and Charlie's army had 65,000.

What's going on?! Only a small number of troops were invested in the important battlefield, but a large army was invested in the secondary battlefield! This was exactly the same as the noble officer of the Renaya who was shot to death by Robin Hood last month. Egil seemed to want to grab a big deal. Venice, the richest city-state republic among the entire continent and Catholic countries, was the best goal. When Egil was not making a fortune, he thought about it every day: when he became stronger, he brought his army to the Italian city-state to pick up robbery. This wish was finally realized.

That's it.

But saving the Roman Catholic Church as the savior of the Catholic world. Such things are still very powerful for Egil. So what should we do?

Philip II, who dislikes himself, and who also dislikes himself, and who is the one who is not,

The insignificant Governor Renaya, who just surrendered, will kick the battlefield. Anyway, his orders are just to let them restrain Nalcis. He will restrain a force of 10,000 or 20,000 troops and let Rome last for a season or two more, and then he can get himself to harvest.

Of course, there are still people who oppose such shameless things, such as Philip of France, Philip, and Philip.

But objection is invalid.

Egil said righteously at the military meeting: "If you remove the big tree, you must first cut off the branches and weaken the roots, and finally break them with thunder. It is precisely because of this that I made such a plan 1. Remove the branches of Venice first and then rescue Rome. Believe me, that's right."

Philip II was really on the pirate ship, or the kind that he could never get off once he got on.

So the strategy decided like this. Egil and Charlie happily ran to rob, while Charlie and Andrew went to save Rome with a frown.

At the same time, on the Apennines, the Balkans, and the southeastern Europe, while the rubber is not allowed to be broken, the Central European and Norman Iron Cavalry conquered the city and landed in Artoria. They successively seized three German cities, Hamburg, Lübeck and Bremen, and greatly increased the territory of the Norman Kingdom.

Upon hearing the news, Otto had to send troops back to aid. However, the few troops sent were not enough to use the bloody queen Artoria's outstanding ability. Tens of thousands of Norman Cavalry were not paper-made. After defeating the Saxon army several times in succession, the banner of the Queen of Celtic Britain also became famous in the Central and European generation.

However, if there are too many reinforcements sent, then the Kiteli, who is fighting against Liao on the front line, is not easy to mess with. In fact, it has been because of too many reinforcements sent during this period.

Therefore, the troops were insufficient and they were at a disadvantage in the war against Bavaria. Otto I was also a proud and arrogant person. He did not obey the suggestions of his main generals, the Earl of Brandenburg, Frederick of the Hohenzollern family (the two translation methods are really bunkers), and temporarily surrendered. He also responded to the call of the Roman Catholic Church and dispatched the crusaders to make the other party lose the reason for the attack.

(Although Otto has been removed from the church). He did not follow the advice of Lucivid, Earl of Hessen, to shrink the front line, and ced a certain amount of land to reach a peaceful treaty with the Normans.

Instead, I chose to continue to persevere and fight desperately.

OK, work hard, Saxony! The battle is till the last drop of blood falls. I'm optimistic about you.

At the same time, General Carter, who was almost swallowed up by the Atlantic winds, finally returned to Gothic Fort, with only eight brig sailboats that seemed to have been ravaged many times. In search of the legendary so-called archipelago hundreds of kilometers away from Iberia, it was indeed found, and the crew of three ships, some supplies, various tools, seeds needed by immigrants, etc. Initially, a village has been established there.

"Thank you for your hard work, General Carter." Aurora replied very politely.

"It is appropriate to serve the Lord." General Carter replied.

"Yeah, it's very good." Orula nodded, and then she gave a prank smirk: "There is one more thing to congratulate you, General."

"Oh, is there anything good?" General Kare is such a fellow.

"Well, that's right. You've been promoted." Aurora replied: "Because of your contribution to the contacts of the Norman Kingdom, His Majesty Egil decided to be the earl in this life and to promote your position. Congratulations to become the first minister of the Norman Kingdom, the Marshal of the Navy, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy."

"Oh, that's it." Although they are actually from the navy and navy after all changes, they are actually changing the soup and not changing the medicine. But this series of titles sounds very good. Moreover,

Although the nobles enthroned by the Norman Kingdom are all empty titles, only titles and Dai Lu, and there is no actual fiefdom granted. However, Dai Lu is also quite a lot, who would think that they earn a lot of money?

"Well, it's great, it looks like you're very satisfied." Aurora smiled unabated: "Then you must have no doubt about the decision to split the Norman Navy into four parts: the Boluo Sea Fleet, the North Sea Fleet, the Atlantic Fleet, and the Outer Sea Fleet, right?"
