Next, the Holy Roman Empire coalition gathered some of the defeated soldiers and the number of troops reached 70,000 to 80,000. In addition, His Majesty the Emperor miraculously found it back. So his morale was a little boosted. After asking the locals, he realized that this place was more than 300 miles away from Budapest. It was an unknown small place where no one usually came.

The Holy Roman Empire army fought for a day and a night. At this point, we were able to rest for a while. However, when we broke through, we were only concerned about ourselves and basically didn't snatch out any supplies. We were very nervous before, so we didn't care too much. But after a while, everyone found that their stomachs were already roaring with hunger.

But there is no food.

As I said before, this place is just a small place. Even if all of them are looted, even human flesh is not enough for the Holy Roman Empire army to have a full meal. This has made many emperors and dukes, a society with such high feudal power in the East, and there is also a saying that the emperor is not inferior to hungry soldiers. So the West, where the imperial power is not very high, is even more conceivable. If there is not enough food, then the group of soldiers who are not very morale will soon disperse. Only a few professional troops with higher loyalty and feudal knights are left.

Even if we don’t talk about this, the soldiers have no food, no enough to eat, and no strength to fight.

What should we do if the Eastern Roman army catches up at this moment?

Of course, this worry is actually a little unnecessary. Syl II was afraid of being too forced to force the Holy Roman Empire and fought back desperately. If that were the case, the Eastern Roman army would suffer heavy losses. Why not? Therefore, he only sent a small number of light cavalry to find out the news. The main force celebrated the victory in the outskirts of Budapest.

But the Holy Roman Emperor did not know about astronomy, and neither the emperor nor the duke knew about this. So he was very anxious. Emperor Frederick gritted his teeth.

Some knights, cavalry and entourages who could barely move were sent to leave armor and heavy equipment here, and played a guest appearance as a horse bandit to collect food around them.

Finally, after a long time of struggle, he robbed more than a dozen small villages around him. Only then did he get enough food that could barely feed more than 70,000 mouthfuls. The quality was not very good. Even the rotten water fed to the animals was included. The soldiers of the Holy Roman Empire complained repeatedly. Some people would rather go hungry than eat this kind of pig food.

At this moment, the emperor and the dukes listened to the complaints of the soldiers outside the camp, and looked at the chickens, ducks and other meats in front of them, and they had no appetite. Frederick sighed, then signaled to the other three dukes with his eyes, and said, "The warriors who fought bravely for Jesus Christ should not accept this kind of treatment. This is simply an insult."

"Send out the things we eat, Father, at least we are the last group of people who will use it on the battlefield." Crown Prince Henry begged.

"Indeed, that's right." Albrecht from Brandenburg and Lucivid also responded.

"Hmph" Only Austria's Albrecht II did not cooperate very well, and snorted coldly: "We are treated like this, and we don't know whose mistake is ultimately because of."

Hearing Albrecht say this, Frederick's face was a little uneasy. He coughed twice, hoping that the other two dukes would smooth things out. However, the other two dukes looked at the top of the tent, as if there were angels dancing stripteases on it. He ignored His Majesty's hint.

"Special code, I'll cut you all in the future." Frederick cursed in his heart, and wanted to say something, but Austria Albrecht II snorted coldly, stood up and walked out. Frederick was so angry that he was so angry.

"Your Majesty... This, the Duke of Austria is still young, so don't be as good as him." The other two dukes also said good things to Albrecht II with ulterior motives.

The morale of the army was unstable. Frederick lived for sixty or seventy years, so he could naturally see that if he didn't do anything, his history would basically be completed here. How can this be done?! He still has a lot to do, and he has to suppress the pope, become the most powerful emperor in Europe, defeat all opponents, and truly turn the Holy Roman Empire into a powerful and unified country.

However, if you want to accomplish this, you must first deal with Albrecht II of Austria, the only remaining duke who had achieved great success in the civil strife of the four electoral emperors.

It is your biggest opponent and obstacle. However, in order to maintain the stability of the country and the throne,

Frederick had to work hard to satisfy this guy's greed.

So that night, Frederick called Albrecht II, and the two sides negotiated secretly and bargained for a long time. Frederick finally had to accept that Albrecht II was simply blackmailing.

"First, you must ensure that I can obtain Bo Simea. Secondly, in the future, on the issue of the Kingdom of Hungary, I think I should have a greater say than other princes. After all, this is closer to Austria. Third, it is the question of the status of the country. Bo Simea once won the title of king, so I think I can do it." "Don't you think you have asked too much? Is Austria not enough to satisfy your ambitions?" Frederick asked a little impatiently. When Albrecht said the first two requests, Frederick was still patient and listened. But when Albrecht vaguely said that he wanted to be the king of Bo Simea after he obtained Bo Simea, Frederick was a little unable to sit still.

The Holy Roman Empire is indeed a patchwork country. Before joining this empire and becoming the electorate, Bosimia did maintain the title of king for a long time. It even said that this title sometimes exists at the same time as the title of Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. When Bosimia elected becomes the emperor, they would not mind adding another crown to their heads.

Therefore, in fact, there should be three crowns in the entire Holy Roman Empire, the most important of which is the crown of the German Kingdom, and the second important is the crown of the Italian Kingdom (excluding Southern Italy and the Papal Kingdom). These two crowns are permanent. All the emperors of the Holy Roman Empire will claim that they are the German kings and the Italian kings at the same time. Only Bo Simea is different.

So Frederick couldn't accept it.

For this old man who is nearly seventy years old and values ​​tradition, if a boscene king appears during his tenure, it would be the greatest shame to him. It would be like being slapped in front of people all over the world.

So it must be opposed.

"Of course not, your majesty." Albrecht snorted, and then said, "It's as if a huge territory like the Holy Roman Empire cannot satisfy your ambitions. In fact, I have never seen this world with the vast territory that I manage."

"…The Holy Roman Empire must not have a second king." Frederick hesitated for a moment, and then said: "For bosimia, I will support you to gain the dominance there, and for Hungary, as long as we can defeat the Greeks, I can also promise you to get the greatest spoil. But the king will definitely not do it. I firmly disagree."... Hum... In fact, I don't need it either. As long as you, the old bastard, die, there will be a louder name waiting for me to fight for." Albrecht pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then he looked unwilling: "Okay, my majesty, I can give up my last request."

When he heard that Albrecht II finally made a compromise, Frederick finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Then let it go, Duke. I hope you can keep your promise and continue to be loyal to me." "Of course, your majesty." Albrecht II said: "I am loyal to you from beginning to end."

In this way, the crisis that could collapse the entire empire disappeared invisibly. Both sides obtained what they wanted. Frederick could continue to be the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire until his death.

However, the Holy Roman Empire completely failed in the war against the Eastern Roman Empire. Next, they were discovered by the light cavalry of the Eastern Roman Empire. Then another round of attacks had not yet fully recovered, and the number of troops was not completely against each other. The defeat was even worse. In the end, the army retreated to Italy, with less than 40,000 people left.

Frederick finally surrendered in the face of facts. He issued a statement, acknowledging the independent status of various states in Northern Italy. At the same time, he abolished all the nobles he had originally enthroned, and no longer dared to let the Northern Italy city-state be responsible for the entire food and salary of the remaining remnants of the defeated generals. Instead, he transported it to the Holy Roman Empire.

Of course, Frederick's concessions were only at this point. He still believed that Egil was not competent for the coalition commander. He believed that the older ones, more titles, more respected and more steady ones, such as him, should be taken as the ones.

"Tsk, I still want to see my joke.,
