"What did you say? The tauren bit the guy half his body and bit the guy away? Ah hahahahaha..."

"The Pope took out the army that was under the box, and the last one ran away? Ah hahahahahahaha..."

"The Italian army was almost wiped out? Ahhahahaha..."

"Witt injured one arm, Hilder broke a tui, Andrew just died?

Ah hahahahahahaha..."

"Who is Mafeo?"

In this way, the legendary reinforcements did not feel it at all. In fact, even if you want to feel it, it would be too late to feel it. The army of Egil was almost three hundred kilometers away from the battlefield. Even the rangers could not reach there.

However, this did not prevent Egil from looking at the "good news" sent by his spies and finding a place where no one could secretly enjoy it. Egil really didn't expect that the Italian army would be so capable. In the end, the eight thousand Italian troops were almost wiped out. At the last moment, Witt and Hild escaped desperately. Andrew finally fulfilled his promise to "died with them". As for Mafeo, this dead supporting actor died during the attack of the Eastern Romans. He didn't hold on until the end.

The Eastern Roman army also suffered heavy losses. A total of two professional corpses were crippled, and three temporary recruitment corps were almost wiped out. The Iron Paladin Legion and Guard Cavalry Legion also suffered heavy losses. One Germanic Legion and the other Latin Legion also suffered a lot of casualties. As the last trump card, the Imperial Guards lost 285 people, and most of the Minotaus First Regiment was killed.

The Eastern Roman Legion lost more than 60,000 troops inside and outside. It can be said that the Eastern Roman army suffered heavy losses, which totaled only 18 professional legions in just over 200,000,000, ten temporary recruitment legions, two mercenary legions, as well as the Guard Cavalry Legion, the Iron Armored Paladin Legion, and the Seven Imperial Brigades and Three Minotaus Regiments. A total of more than 220,000 troops were involved. After a round in Hungary, the loss was less than one tenth.

But this battle lost more than 40,000! Forty thousand! Forty thousand!! In addition, due to the loss of military organization, wear and tear of morale, depreciation of weapons, etc.... It is hard to say whether this army can have one-half of its combat effectiveness at its heyday! If you don't go up and beat the fallen dog at this time, Egil is not Egil.

"So really, the Italians also brought those rabble-like pilgrims and crusaders. Thank you so much. Your death was not in vain. You are the best stepping stones for me, Egierscadra Grimson, to embark on the road to honor. It is simply the best example of si dedication. It is really hard for you. The death of so many devout believers and so many brave warriors. This is indeed a very sad thing. But I don't know why, I just want to laugh, hahahahahaha..."

Egil was talking to himself while rolling in his tent, laughing like crazy.

"Okay, I'll avenge you."

After that, Egil sighed, covered his face with both hands, and took a deep breath. Then the sank said.

Afterwards, King Egierskadragrimson, who had a stable and normal expression, walked out of his tent and looked at his confidants indifferently.

"You should know," Egil said in a deep voice: "The Italians have been defeated. Although they are brave, they are still no match for the Greeks."

Speaking of this, Egil paused again: "Well, they won. The Italians have fought hard and now it is our turn! Norman soldiers!! Now I order to go all the way to the south! I cannot guarantee whether the Greeks will be shocked by the huge casualties and the bravery of the Catholics, so they are retracted into their own territory! So, I will chase them and entangle them at the fastest speed! Defeat them! Otherwise, the greatest glory of fighting with heresy belongs to the Italians! They will enjoy the blessings of the entire Catholic world.

And we can only be second, I will never allow such a thing to happen!”

After saying these words, Egil began to assign tasks: "Alpha, you can go there yourself and send all the professional Hussars, the Finnish light cavalry, and the Hungarian Rangers who have recently come to join us to disturb each other and entangle the Greeks! They have just experienced a great war. So the current state is absolutely impossible to keep them tired. Don't recover so quickly. Also, try to help our Italian allies. Pay close attention to the news about Cardinal Hilde and Governor Witt."

"I understand, lord." Alpha, the captain of the Death Knights, grinned all year round, let out white teeth, then took a whisper and left.

After that, Egil looked at Foster, the leader of the diplomat who had not played for a long time: "Take people to the Greeks yourself. Find out how many Italian prisoners they have, and try to find a way to keep them restrained and not destroy the Italian bodies.

Especially Governor Andrew. Whether alive or dead, I told him that I would exchange the Greeks I captured. If the amount is insufficient, I would use money instead." "This seems to be a difficult task. But I will do my best, Lord." Foster replied.

Jill nodded: "And you, Nemulis wants your men to take action. Destroy the roads, bridges, poison and pollute water sources to launch all the ways you can to hold back the Greeks and slow them down."

"I understand, lord." Nemulis replied.

"Biss Peter, my friend. I think after this failure and heavy losses, the Pope's Holy See will be very angry. Even say, make some irrational judgments. I hope you can give the Holy See some advice in the name of the Si people and let him calm down a little." "I understand, lord." Bishop Peter said in this column.

Egil said this, but he wanted to block Pope Innocent III's mouth and defeat the foreign enemy. The struggle between the pope and the feudal royal family within the Catholic Church will definitely become the mainstream contradiction again. At that time, if the Pope's Holy See, then this was said. It was because of Egil's wrong judgment that the Italian army would be wiped out or even said it was a little more vicious.

The reason why Italy was said to be wiped out was because Egil refused to save her when she was dead. She arranged it deliberately, and so on. This deliberately made Egil's reputation worse.

Egil's arrangements to assist the Italian soldiers and even willing to redeem Italian prisoners of war with his own money was to block his mouth. And the so-called "Article Peter's divorce letter" is just a step to give the Pope's Holy See. What can really make him shut up is the exchange of interests under the table, coercion and benefit you...

That's it. Each individual has his own tasks. Egil sent a messenger again to let the French army come quickly... After that, he sent a messenger to run under the city of Budapest every day. He shouted: "You have been abandoned by your emperor! Surrender quickly!" Such words.

And the Greek generals on the wall would shout: "We will never surrender! His Majesty's army will soon defeat you! It will be your turn to be persuaded to surrender!"

Next, the Norman envoy would say, "Don't think about it! Your emperor has decided to leave you and run away! You are really abandoned!!" Then as evidence, some legion flags and a large number of Eastern Roman helmets, armor and shields were all seized on the ground before, during the battle in Italy.

Then the messenger was not so kind of refuted, but the arrows shot from the compound bow and Greek crossbow...

In this way, the morale of Budapest was gradually eroded. At the same time, Foster successfully exchanged from Basil II for a promise to stop the cavalry disturbance. The two sides completed the exchange of prisoners of war in August. At the same time, Basil II agreed to exchange Andrew and Mafeo's body for his general Nalsis.

During this period, Egil captured more than 7,000 Eastern Roman soldiers.

The Italian army captured by Basil II and the number of those crusaders exceeded 11,000. For the remaining 4,000 people, Egil promised to exchange 50,000 Florinian gold coins. At the same time, Basil II generously promised that Egil could restrain the Italian corpses at will without any money.

"Is this guy addicted to being a special code?!"

Looking at Andrew, who had barely closed the fragments of his limbs and carved them into a facial model with a silver mask, and whether they looked like it or not, and whether they were like it or not, and the body of Maffeo was placed in the marble coffin. After the bishop presided over the funeral, Egil returned to his tent, a tent that was only twenty kilometers away from Basil II. Then, listening to Foster's return, he complained loudly that Basil II did have a temporary retreat and then regrouped.
Chapter completed!
