In 1005 AD, it was still a turbulent time. Compared with Eastern Europe, Kuman and the Centaur coalition, the Grand Principality of Moscow were different. Like the mainstream of the continental umbrella, other countries were busy with the nth Crusade announced by the Holy See, hoping to take this opportunity to defeat the Muslim heresy in Egypt and restore the holy land of Jerusalem to withdraw.

Of course, such behavior seems very difficult to Egil. After all, the retreat of Jerusalem Lengyuan is a thousand mountains and rivers, and it is difficult to supply. At the same time, the King of Desert Saladin is not an easy master to mess with. The princes of the European countries have conquered each other so many times that they absolutely cannot trust each other. Such an army can win a battle, which is a ghost. According to Egil's prediction, most of them were destroyed by the Barbary pirates in the Mediterranean, and then barely landed ashore. Because of the unacceptable environment, a group of people were left behind by the Egyptians to the desert and Gobi, and the entire army was wiped out...

Even though the final result was very different from what Egil imagined, the entire continental continent worked together and a hundred thousand troops arrived intact in the Crescent Zone, and inexplicably, they ignored the disagreement caused by intestinal microbial disorders and non-combat attributable to the local conditions. Even so, Egil was still optimistic about Saladin.

According to information from Piaotianyi, Saladin today cannot be regarded as the most powerful of the four major Islamic countries (Ottoman Turkey, Moldova Sultanate, Timur Khanate, and Egyptian Fatima). It completely occupies the Mesopotamia Basin and the Arabian Peninsula, plus the huge chassis of the upper and lower Egypt, and the fertile land of the Mesopotamia Basin that was completely different from history and did not have any depletion. In addition, the sufficient irrigation water source brought by the great power of the Nile River, this area can raise a large number of agricultural population.

In addition, the swords of Damascus, the trade brought by the port of Alexandria, the religious cohesion brought by the holy cities such as Mecca, and Medina... Saladin could gather more than 200,000 troops! This does not include the soldiers who could borrow from other Islamic countries, such as the Ottoman Turkey in the north, the Barbary countries in the west, and the Timur Khanate in the east. In addition, the Ethiopian region in the upper reaches of the Nile River in North Africa, a large number of soldiers from the black North African tribes would also be very happy to accept Saladin's employment.

Let’s take a look at the continental countries. If they do not include the Norman Empire, how many troops can they deploy?

In the Iberian Peninsula, the Three Kingdoms Alliance, led by the Kingdom of Leon Castile, is still fighting endless wars with the Eastern Roman Empire. The boss Sid is currently kicked away by King Alfonso because of his great merits. So he took his followers alone. After serving in the army of the Eastern Roman Empire for a period of time, Sid has his own power and army.

So he kicked the Eastern Roman Empire away with another kick, and occupied the eastern coast of the Iberian Peninsula with more than 4,000 soldiers. The Valencian generation called himself the Duke of Valencia. At the same time, he once again threw an olive branch to King Alfonso.

Now the Eastern Roman Empire has about 30,000 troops on the Iberian Peninsula, and the Iberian Three Kingdoms Alliance is almost the same. Therefore, the two sides restrain each other and cannot make any moves. Regarding the call of the Pope's Holy See, several kings expressed their intention to join the Crusader, but they were just intentions and just waved the flag and shouted. They had no real intention to send troops.

In France, Philip was a wise monarch after a period of easing France once again surpassed the Burgundy Kingdom. The troops that Philip could send were more than 30,000. The Burgundy Kingdom should be able to send about 25,000.

After the military reform of the Holy Roman Empire, Albert II of Austria now has about 40,000 elite troops, and other vassal states that are also bullied by the military, as well as trade with the Norman Empire in the north, so it made a lot of money from Brandenburg and Hesse. If the Holy Roman Empire mobilized, it could send an army of 100,000.

The Italian Peninsula, the Pope's Kingdom is 50,000, the Principality of Milan and the Republic of Venice can also dispatch about 30,000 to 40,000 troops. In Eastern Europe, Hungary can only dispatch about 10,000 troops...

In this way, the entire continent can also gather more than 200,000 troops. The problem is, will these countries really spend all their money to take out all their troops for a so-called holy land thousands of miles away? Will they go on a sudden expedition?

"There shouldn't be such a fool in the world." Egil lay in his large and somewhat exaggerated sedan chair, enjoying the extravagant depravity of the exclusive emperor, and thought of this: "The crusade war against Jerusalem should end in the end just a farce. The authority of the church will be doubled down and will be more convenient for my next step, of course, but I will not mind gaining some benefits in such a war.

On the islands on the Mediterranean, what I need seems to have been delivered to my door. Haha, hahahahahahahahahaha…………”

Now, the preparations for the Black Sea Fleet are unfolding in an orderly manner. At the same time, if the situation requires, Egil can also dispatch more transport ships and warships from the Boluo Sea further north, and can also order the Norman Offshore Fleet stationed on the Island of Malta to cooperate and carry out combat.

This time, Egil selected the target to be the destruction of the entire Jerusalem Kingdom, and had not yet received a naval attack from the desert hero Attila, and was as happy as a paradise.

The throat of the Mediterranean, the sharp dagger extending to the sphere of Arab heretics. Controlling this place is equivalent to having the best springboard to attack the Golden Crescent Zone. One of the most important large islands in the entire Mediterranean, Cyprus!

This place is not as neglected as the island of Malta. Therefore, Egil can get a huge advantage. The fact is that thousands of years ago, civilization in the Mediterranean basin began to develop. Adventurers rode sailing boats and began to explore, reclaim and develop colonies from various ports. Cyprus began to develop at that time. With the prosperity of Mediterranean trade, the importance of Cyprus has become increasingly obvious. For thousands of years, with the rise and fall of dynasties, this mountainous and material-scarce island has almost never controlled its own destiny. It has been conquered countless times, and then replaced with a conqueror...

Just like now, Egil is convinced that the Fatima Empire of Egypt, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Eastern Roman Empire, and these three powerful empires in the eastern Mediterranean must have taken the attention of this important geographical island after the demise of Jerusalem. In addition, the crusaders who rushed over with great enthusiasm, this is really hard to deal with...

Egil had a little headache. Then he felt itchy in the wound. Although he knew it was the feeling of the wound healing, he still couldn't help but want to scratch it.

"This is likely to cause infection, Lord."

However, before Egil could catch it, Nightingale caught his hand. Although the nurse was a little disgusted with Egil's extravagant appearance, the nurse's profession still made her take care of Egil very hard. Although many times, this kind of care would make Egil feel annoying.

Of course, this may be the reason why Nightingale is a cute girl. If Egil was a 400-year-old lady, Egil would definitely not have to think about it and punched her directly, and then at the command, the guards guarded outside ran in and dragged her out. Of course, the premise is that someone would like to do so. Considering that the military prostitute camp has been well built now, through slave trading, a total of thousands of healthy women from all races served there to satisfy the desires of the energetic Norman warriors. So Egil felt that they were more likely to kill that guy.

However, if you are a cute girl, everything will be different. As for what Nightingale said, Egil at most a little annoyed and complained. Then he would do it as Nightingale told.

"But it's very itchy." Egil complained.

"Be patient for a little while, Lord." Nightingale tried to dissuade him, as if he didn't feel the bad intentions of this guy at all.

"But I can't help it." Egil tricked: "Otherwise, you can rub it for me."

"Yeah" Nightingale frowned, not seeming to feel it. It was actually Egil who was playing hooligan. Her slender fingers reached over and pressed it gently on Egil's wound.

Then he let go and said in a full-time tone: "Although this is safer, there is still a certain risk of wound rupture... Otherwise, can I blew it to the Lord?"

"Of course." Egil looked at Nightingale in a nurse's outfit and bent down, pouting her mouth and blew her to his wound. It felt very pleasant. In various senses.

"Cough, cough...Master. New information is sent to the child."

"Please take a closer look at this official document from the master."

The two girls next to Egil couldn't stand it anymore. They said quickly, hoping to attract Egil's attention.

"Yeah, ahh, let's talk about that kind of thing later. I'm going to rest now." Egil responded casually. Then he was like a foolish monarch in the general sense, and directly ignored these "main affairs".

In this way, just as Egil was secretly happy, and Nurse Nightingale was inexplicably stunned, and the other two roared their teeth in hatred, a panic roar suddenly came from the front... (To be continued
