Egil was right, the other party really wanted to see his joke. Because Treyer saw the combat effectiveness of the Eastern Roman army and failed twice in the hands of the Eastern Roman army, he made a wrong judgment. That is, he believed that the Eastern Roman army was very powerful, at least stronger than the Latin Science and Technology Group army.

In other words, under the same number of people, European Catholic forces would absolutely not be able to defeat the Eastern Roman army. He could not do it, nor did Egil.

However, after making this judgment, Frederick did not think: Then if the two armies were combined, they could win by numerical advantage. Instead, he was thinking: If I lost, it would be better for the sake of face to let Egil lose. In this way, others will understand that it is not that I am incompetent, but that the enemy is too strong.

"Rubbish."

Frederick's idea could not be hidden from Egil. Therefore, Egil, who had a lot more information in his hands than Frederick, could naturally look down on this idiot in a higher posture and let him see what a real emperor is.

Of course, self-confidence is self-confidence. Egil also understands that Basil II is not an easy opponent to deal with. If you want to defeat him, you must concentrate all your strength, such as the five thousand troops left in Venice, the twenty thousand troops left in Marseille, and the five thousand troops left for him by Gernaya...

These 30,000 troops are all the most elite professional troops. It is a pity to put them in the garrison position.

So Egil convinced his allies and asked them to mobilize a small number of recruits again, and exchange these main combat troops with temporary recruits and gather them together. At the same time, Egil's successive victory spread throughout a large number of countries on the continent. Many restless adventurers, devout believers, or wandering knights flocked to Egil's army for fame, interests and faith.

In this way, when Frederick and Basil fought and died, Egil's power gradually expanded. When Frederick failed, he fled back to Northern Italy in a panic, crossed the Alps again, and fled back to the Holy Roman Empire. Egil's power also reached its peak. It can be said that this was the time when Egil could command the largest number of troops in his life. Because, after defeating the Eastern Roman Empire, this alliance had no meaning of existence.

The total number of troops under Egir's army is as follows: a total of 41,000 Norman regular troops was replaced by the defenders of Gernaya and Venice. This is also the most capable army under Egir's army. One hundred thousand Norman recruits were recruited. They were equipped with simple leather armor and leather helmets. They had undergone short-term military training, which was not very strong. The weapons were spears, shields, scimitars and bows, which could form a hedgehog round formation to enhance combat effectiveness. They were much stronger than the recruitment of peasant soldiers in ordinary countries. However, there was still a certain gap compared to the regular army.

This is 140,000 Norman troops. In addition, Egir also has 50,000 troops from France (including 20,000 French troops, 25,000 Burgundian troops and 5,000 Aquitaine troops), 35,000 Northern Italian troops (including 10,000 Gernaya troops, 10,000 Venetian troops, 10,000 Popes and 5,000 Bologna troops), 15,000 spontaneous crusaders (a small number of crusaders, a small number of heavy crusaders, and the others are all mobs). In this way, Egir has a total of 240,000 troops.

Before entering the army, Egil also sent an invitation to Frederick of the Holy Roman Empire, hoping that he could join the coalition forces. Egil was willing to let Frederick serve as the deputy commander-in-chief of the coalition forces. Of course, Egil was just saying something. He didn't think about taking Frederick with him to play. Frederick also roared like this: "Don't think of it!" and refused to participate in the war.

Therefore, the coalition did not receive the 50,000 Holy Roman Empire. Without the joining of the German warriors, this army seemed somewhat deficient.

After huā reviewing this army for a whole day, Egil and other commanders of the coalition forces suddenly felt: "Oh oh oh oh oh oh! The power, the power surges up!!"

In this era when one or two thousand people are a force, and one or two thousand people can be called a large army. A total of more than 200,000 people are simply unimaginable. It is the number of troops that only those legendary huge empires can produce in ancient times.

However, now, the legendary numbers can be reproduced and reappeared in front of one's own eyes. This is simply incredible. It seems that I am destined to be remembered by history. Although the commander is not me.

That's it. In the eyes of the crowd, the 240,000 army was divided into three routes. Venice set out and followed the path that the Roman Empire had originally advanced toward the Hungarian capital Budapest.

However, what made Egil very distressed was that the damn Holy Roman army bullied the Hungarians under the banner of the crusades. Therefore, the Hungarians had no good feelings for this coalition. Most people regarded them as the same group of goods. Non-violent and non-cooperation were the most polite. The rangers' raids every now and then made the coalition extremely irritable. The coalition was not a benevolent army, so this boredom naturally affected their attitude towards the local Hungarians. Their attitude towards the Hungarians also confirmed the Hungarians' understanding of them. So the Hungarians tried harder to attack them...

In this way, the evil cycle is easy to say. The coalition itself has more than 200,000 troops. After the three groups were divided into three groups, Norman was in the middle, northern Italy and the spontaneous crusaders were in the south, and France was north. Each of these three groups had at least 50,000 troops. If you were disturbed by the Hungarians, you would not have too many casualties. Morale issues can also be solved by robbing soldiers and massacre of local residents. Anyway, Egil was open-minded. If the reputation was not good, the reputation was not good. It was no big deal.

So the Hungarians attacked the coalition forces, attacked the coalition scouts, and attacked the coalition personnel who were left behind. Some even had the courage to attack the coalition themselves. In short, they were attacking all targets they could attack. The coalition forces massacred settlements, villages, captured Hungarian rangers, and towns, and all the creatures they could slaughter.

In this way, the coalition forces could not get faster in amidst large-scale killings and interference. It would be thankful to walk more than ten kilometers a day. If you encounter bad weather such as windy and rain, you can't even walk five kilometers a day.

The fields in Hungary are not as good as astronomy, nor are they as good as those of the Eastern Roman Empire, even France, the Holy Roman Empire, and Spain. After all, before that, the Roman Empire did not enter this area on a large scale. They had no way to use the roads built by the Romans.

When it comes to the road issue, Egil was not very worried that other idiots might be able to mi Road without the locals' leadership. But for people like Egil who hold the system artifact, this is simply a simple matter. Local intelligence and other things can also have the rewards of Norman spies who have been mixed into Hungary in advance. It is precisely with the intelligence of these spies that the Norman Middle Army commanded by Egil did not suffer any loss at all. On the contrary, they used tricks to wipe out several Hungarian Ranger troops.

These Hungarian Rangers left a deep impression on Egil. Although these people were not tall, the war horses they rode were not as good as those of their own cavalry. The weapons and equipment were incomparable. However, the fighting spirit and the aura of fighting to kill the enemy still made Egil very much appreciated. It is worthy of Hungary. In a sense, Hungary is the number one cavalry power in Europe. If these excellent soldiers can be used for themselves, it would be better.

But now it seems a little early to think about this kind of thing. Now it is difficult not to recruit these soldiers for their own use. It is already difficult to prevent them from fighting against them. Adhering to the theory that when it is useful, one of the 17-year-olds of the Catholic League, Attila, the king of the fallen country in Hungary.

If that guy had followed the army, he would have been much better... I don't know how that guy was doing on the Eastern European prairie. The mountain got into the wolves' belly. So, it's better to take care of your own affairs for the time being. The army started to move towards Budapest on July 10th. But after more than a month of walking, he had never encountered any other opponents except the Hungarians. Egil's intelligence network had long passed the news. The top leaders of the Holy Roman Empire did not say it. However, the soldiers could not control their mouths. Therefore, Egil also knew how the Holy Thomas Empire was defeated.

"If that guy thinks that I'm as stupid as that guy, he's very wrong." Egil complained on the Hungarian field trail.

At the same time, Basil II was also complaining: "Those Norman scout cavalry were so annoying. And the opponent was not as adventurous as the Germanic barbarian.
