The heavy rain lasted thirteen days in total. When the rain was halfway through, neither Norman nor Eastern Rome could bear it anymore. They moved the camp to a higher place to prevent mold from continuing to soak in the water. At the same time, it was necessary to prevent possible floods. In fact, Egil had received a lot of relevant news.

Hungary is really an unfortunate country. The Huns and Magyars are also unfortunate nations. They were destroyed in a continuous disaster. They were then disturbed by the Catholic coalition and Eastern Rome, these two behemoths. Both sides each won over a large number of Hungarian nomads, and then consumed Hungary's human resources in the war. Then there was another flood. Egil received such news, which almost all flowed through the Tisa River, the Danube River and its tributaries in Hungary.

Most of the entire Hungarian territory became a country with heavy casualties.

In addition to those who died in war and those who died in floods. Chibocrates has issued a warning that Hungary may have a plague outbreak in recent times.

In short, it is a country with many disasters. Speaking of which, Egil has also received news. The original Hun King Attila is now doing well on the Eastern European grasslands. The more than 1,000 light cavalry who had broken through traveled around under his command and annexed several grassland tribes. The population has now recovered to about 20,000, and the control string is more than 3,000. The exiled king still seems to have the idea of ​​making a comeback. He is desperately trying to bring everything he can see and the power that can help him revenge. He is fanatical as if he will die if he doesn't fight.

When the Norman envoy found him, Yan said that 200,000 coalition forces had entered Hungary and hoped that he could go back and help him restore his country, Attila even seemed a little unacceptable.

"Are you a puppet?! If you are a puppet, then it's better not to do it! I have three thousand iron cavalry now, and I eat big meat and drink big bowls on the grassland and beat whoever I want to hit. Why do you need to go back to Hungary and look at those people's faces?!"

In this way, Attila was very dignified and backbone, but she also very stupidly rejected Egil's proposal. Egil was extremely indignant about this guy. She felt that Attila was a judge of a gentleman by the heart of a villain. Egil himself did not want to annex or puppet Hungary. The next step was to stabilize the domestic situation and continue to explore Eastern European land, Egil did not want to set up an obstacle on the road to northward in Eastern Rome. Then a Hungarian Kingdom with certain strength would be a big and good stumbling block.

It’s just a pity that Attila is stupid and doesn’t appreciate it.

Then forget it. Egil shrugged. Anyway, when the heavy rain stops and the sun shines in a few days, the plague will probably break out. At that time, Egil loves anyone in this unlucky place in Hungary, no matter who she loves, I don’t care about it anyway, and I don’t want to come.

Therefore, on the fifteenth day when it was still raining heavily, Egil sent an envoy to a Roman barracks on another high ground in a small boat and handed over the treaty of the Eastern Roman Empire that he had improved.

The treaty was roughly the same as Basil said before, but it was slightly repeated on the issue of Naples, that is, the two Sicilies: Egil hoped that if Basil II wanted to return to the territory of Southern Italy, he would have to pay the coalition forces a redemption fee of 500,000 Florinian gold coins. At the same time, Egil also said that he had been busy for so long that he would never be able to take a penny without taking a foothold in the Mediterranean. In other words, he hoped that the Greeks would give him the Island of Malta to him as a reward for the war.

On the Iberian side, Egir felt that he could not make up his decision on this issue, so he asked Basil II to sign contracts with the three kingdoms of Iberia. The same is true for the Hungarian side. Egir felt that the demands of the Hungarian people should be respected, of course, when Hungary could not choose a qualified king.

As for the compensation, Egil can accept a not too high, but a relatively reasonable number, six million Florin gold coins. Egil thinks this is more appropriate.

After obtaining such conditions, Basil II was a little hesitant and honestly, the conditions offered by Egir were even better than he thought. But if Hungary and Iberia were excluded, the effectiveness of this treaty would be discounted...

What Basil II wanted was to sign a peace treaty with the entire Catholic alliance to make a one-and-for-all solution.

But Egil obviously didn't want to do this.

"Tell you the king, I can give him the Island of Malta, or promise him to give him gold, even more gold than he asked for. But in this peace, Iberia and Hungary must be added! Otherwise, the empire will not accept it. If it is the whole of your ridiculous alliance, you can barely have the ability to talk to the empire. But if it is a single country, then you are not qualified to be comparable to the empire!"

So Basil II found such a reason and sent Egir's messenger away.

On the eleventh day, it was still raining heavily. Egil, who was lying in the tent, felt that his bones were about to fall off. After stopping the idiot nun Maria for the fourth time today and eating the small mushrooms that grew out of the tent, Egil felt that he could not stand it anymore.

The heavy rains of several days washed away the last bit of energy from both sides. It was like senior generals and nobles like Egil, at least there were Zhang Chuáng and various girls who were warming the bed. However, even so, I couldn't stand it. Then the ordinary soldiers sleeping in the mud puddle and the knights could be imagined.

"Damn it, tell Basil, tell the bastard, and say I promised him. I will go to find a way out in Iberia, but it is too late. We will count Iberia, and then sign a treaty quickly and leave this damn, haunt place. Well, as for Hungary, tell him that if he wants Hungary, he will do whatever he wants. But I think in a few days, he will definitely leave after the rain stops. He will not refuse to ask him back!"

So Egil sent an envoy again to send the conditions for concession again. Finally, Basil II thought about it for a while and agreed.

The two sides finally met in the central part of the plain, now they have become a place in the country of marsh. They met again on a boat.

The Greek Book of Books recorded this: both sides, these two kings who were famous in Europe, were both depressed by the rainy weather for several days, but were afraid of falling into their own reputation, so they forced themselves to cheer up. Both sides seemed to feel that it would be a very shameful thing to show fatigue in the other side.

Today, the rain is still very heavy. So the Norman King seems to have the upper hand because he and his followers carry the wonderful props they call "umbrellas", these round props supported by the best and thickest canvas can block the area above their heads so that they will not be wet by the rain. The entourage next to the Norman King holds the umbrella and blocks the head of their king, allowing the savage leader to chat and laugh without caring.

In comparison, His Majesty the Emperor, who had to be soaked in the rain, seemed even more embarrassed. Especially when the King of Norman completely ignored His Majesty's hints and hoped to obtain two props such as "umbrellas". His Majesty's face seemed very ugly. The King of Norman seemed very happy. It seemed that he was excited because he could use this method to attack his enemies.

However, these are just insignificant episodes.

As excellent kings and emperors, they naturally would not change their minds because of their temporary likes and dislikes. Such weather is actually not suitable for too many negotiations. In the end, the negotiations ended soon. The two sides exchanged a duplicate peace treaty written in Norman and Greek, which stipulated a five-year truce. After that, prisoners of war were exchanged, and where there were not enough, they were paid in gold or other equivalent currencies.

At this time, I noticed a detail. Egil, the King of the Normans, seemed very happy after seeing some special prisoners of war. He patted the shoulders of those people, pounded their mouths, and called out their names one by one. Until the last one, he was a little embarrassed and asked with embarrassment, and apologized and said he had forgotten this person.

But the man quickly rescued the king and said that it was the first time he had officially met the king.

He was originally a Hungarian.

I only found out after asking that they were the people who fought against the Greek army with King Norman in that battle for more than ten days. After failing to break through, they were captured. Except for the Hungarian, the others were originally members of the Knightly Guard of King Norman.

After this, King Norman asked the Hungarian whether he would officially join his army. After receiving a positive answer, King Norman immediately enthroned him as a knight and appointed him as the commander of the so-called "Hungarian Rangers".

Later I asked, the guy's name was Joseph Siméng Vitswad. He was the son of a head man from a Hungarian nomadic tribe. Ha, it seems that the guy has had good luck……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
