When Egil brought the coalition soldiers to massacre the city happily, and in the Mediterranean, the Noshu Sea Fleet was advancing towards the Island of Malta. In the north, to be precise, it was surrounding Venice, the city in the east of northern Italy. A war between two Romes was about to begin.

The Holy Roman Empire, Emperor Frederick, and the Eastern Roman Empire, Emperor Basil.

Of course, this is called this only by other countries, or Catholic countries.

As the Roman Empire, the Eastern Roman Empire would not recognize the Holy Roman Empire, such a majestic and funny title. It can even be said that at least half of the hatred of the Eastern Roman Empire for the entire Catholic world was aimed at this Holy Roman Empire.

One Europe cannot tolerate two Romes, another emperor, or two nations. Germanic and Rome, these two destined opponents, are about to confront each other again after traveling through thousands of years of time and space.

Of course, both Frederick and Basil were very confident and believed that they would definitely win. Because their army was strong and they were a talented person. The other party was just a scumbag, and it was easy to capture it with no means.

But after the fight started, I found that it was not the case at all.

Fighting Venice in one battle, then Zagreb, and Lake Balaton three battles. Frederick won three battles!

The forwards frequently won victories. With the impact of elite knights, they defeated the Eastern Roman light cavalry. The situation was far beyond everyone's expectations.

Frederick was full of ambition and believed that with the terrifying destructive power of the six thousand knights and ten thousand knight entourages in his hands, he would achieve a more brilliant victory. At that time, he would use the power of great victory to march into the continental lord, the little boy named Egil, could still compete with him.

However, at this time, Emperor Frederick received some bad information, which was quite normal. To put it bluntly, it was difficult to supply. Emperor Frederick felt that his family was here to save his life. It was not illegal to eat and get some. So, in addition to gathering in his territory and crossing the Alps, the food and wages were paid by the Holy Roman Empire before he arrived in Northern Italy. The military supplies needed were all borne by Northern Italy.

This made it very difficult for all city-states in Northern Italy to accept. The coalition commanded by His Majesty Egil was only 100,000 at its heyday, and the coalition forces had to bear the heavy food and rice. Although Northern Italy also needed to bear a certain share, it was not too heavy. Everyone gritted their teeth and passed by~ But what happened to Frederick? He came here to be the master? How much is it for a 150,000 army to eat horses and chew them all day? Even the mountains of gold and silver can't stand the trouble.

At this time, the governors and mayors of the three city-states of Renaya Bologna and Venice were all following Egil to the south. After hearing the news, they also gave instructions overnight to bear some of the food and wages. However, it was too much to bear the entire share. Send an envoy to discuss with Frederick.

As a result, the messenger was indeed sent out, but he was unable to come back. Emperor Frederick had a very bad temper. Moreover, as a noble class, he looked down on these small merchants in Northern Italy. In his opinion, he respected him as the Holy Roman Emperor. He came to Northern Italy in person to rescue these people.

These people should feel tears in their hearts, and they all ran over as quickly as possible to bear all military expenses and give themselves other local specialties, such as Florin gold coins and beauties.

"I don't know how to lift up."

So the angry emperor said such words and ordered all the "humble merchant messengers" to hang them, and then made such a decision: Since you don't give it to me, don't blame me for being ruthless. Just grab it yourself.

In this way, the situation in which the entire Northern Italy finally stabilized was disturbed by Frederick again. Frederick gained a lot, and even the other nobles and soldiers of the Holy Roman Empire made a fortune.

Emperor Frederick, who had gained benefits, became even more powerful. He even regarded himself as the king of northern Italy, and regarded the captured northern Italian towns as his own territory. He enthroned his confidants as nobles and collected heavy taxes. The confidants suddenly gained high positions and relied on Frederick's power to dominate. All of this aroused strong dissatisfaction among the people of northern Italy. All of them were large and small.

He had countless resistances. However, Frederick did not think anything was wrong at all. He did not reflect on his mistakes. Instead, he believed that this was because he was still too generous.

“Since those damn Northern Italian businessmen think that they can shake me if they resist a little.

Then I should let them understand what the consequences of disobeying me are like!"

Frederick ordered this way. Then the German army robbed and massacred everywhere, covering the entire Northern Italy in a terrifying atmosphere. After hearing about these things, the leaders of the three city-states in Northern Italy hurriedly came to ask Egil, hoping that Egil could advise Frederick as the commander of the coalition forces.

However, Egil chuckled and pointed at the guys and asked, "Are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid? Have you heard of the relationship between Yu and Frederick? I'm afraid that it's just a matter of adding fuel to the fire when I persuade you?"

Andrew, Witt, and Mafeo looked at each other, and in the end, the Count of Bologna was a little weaker. He couldn't stand being stared at by the other two, so he spoke in an instant: "But your Majesty, if this goes on, our entire Northern Italy will be over... At that time, we will only be the relatives and the enemy will be happy. Moreover, Emperor Frederick did a little too much... This is also a provocation to Your Majesty, not..."

Egil couldn't help laughing: "After talking for a long time, you guys are actually trying to instigate me to fight Frederick, right?"

"This" Mafeoqiqi couldn't speak. Andrew and Witt both thought he was useless, so they pulled him behind him.

"Your Majesty, to be honest, we do mean this. Frederick is cruel and unrestrained, not like a lord. If he wants to choose, we would rather regard Your Majesty as the lord." After Andrew said this, he gritted his teeth, knelt down on one knee, and kneeled in front of Egil.

"Your Majesty is so handsome, his martial arts are comparable to Alexander, and his civility is better than Solomon. We are willing to be your vassal, and all living beings will obey His Majesty." Witt gritted his teeth and knelt in front of Egil.

"That's right, I think so too!" Mafeo looked at Venice, and the governors of the two major city-states of Genoa knelt in front of Egil one after another. His knees were weak, and he shouted like this.

Even directly compared.

"I'm so troublesome. I'm like an idiot who fights with others to fight for the sake of 20 cents?" Egil cursed secretly. He was waiting for Frederick and Basil to fight to the death before he went to get the bargain. It was completely impossible for him to stand out now. However, it hurt the hearts of these scumbags. If these bastards really can't figure it out and run to Frederick to kneel down and hang...

Special code is not a big deal!

So Egil snorted softly. He thought he was poor and could not do such a challenging job as the King of Northern Italy. Of course, he did not say anything. He comforted the three bastards a little, and then came out in a vague way: I just endure it for the time being, the darkness before dawn, the future is bright, and the road is tortuous. As long as Fetri and Basil fight to the point of losing both sides, I will not say anything.

In this way, the Northern Italy people looked at each other and knew that Egil was a master who did not see the rabbit and did not withdraw the eagle. It was basically impossible to let others help him get the chestnut from the fire. The blueprint drawn by Egil was the so-called two Romes fighting for both sides. It was good, but it was not eaten for a while. So the three of them discussed in the evening and resigned from Egil the next day, and returned to Northern Italy to kneel down Frederick.

So Frederick quickly calmed down Northern Italy in this column, obtained the large amount of food and local specialties he wanted. He went to the front line and fought with Eastern Rome with satisfaction, and also regarded Northern Italy as a very convenient ATM. He thought to himself: When I have no money, go to Northern Italy for a walk.

In this way, when he was in Hungary, Frederick's occupation plan was almost a replica of Northern Italy. He still asked the Hungarians to pay for food and send troops. Wherever the German army passed, it was like a locust crossing the border. He ate umbrellas everywhere in Hungary.

However, the Hungarians were different from the soft-boy merchants in Northern Italy. Their ancestors were also strong nomadic peoples and even now there were many Hungarians who maintained nomadic customs. At first, when they saw Germany under the banner of the crusades, they thought they were here to liberate them. After we were welcoming, they found that these crusaders were actually a group of locusts. After eating them all, they had to enfeoff their land. They treated them like slaves and ordered the Greeks in the Eastern Rome even better than those in the Greeks!

As a result, the irritable Hungarians quickly gathered, rode fast horses, carried scimitars, and horn bows, and began to fight against these German invaders. At the same time, Basil II was also very happy to see that some of the originally shaky Hungarians began to become more and more inclined to themselves.
