Chapter 10 The Emperor's Conspiracy
Indeed, this group of people was the second and the latest intelligence department of the Norman Empire. The Norman spy from the intelligence department led by Sonia. However, Egil waited for a while and did not see any movement of the Cossacks at all. He sent spies to collect information. He found that Pugachev was in panic, only fear but no anger. He didn't look like he was going to rebel - how could this be done? Isn't this to prevent His Majesty the Emperor from coming to Taiwan? No, absolutely not. So Egil made another plan and decided to send spies to pretend to be an Arab envoy to persuade Pugachev to rebel. The previous things, whether rings or bills, were all well-made fakes.
Norman's spies were as good as ever. Although this time, they were not the Norman spy system that made the surrounding countries frightened and could not sleep at night. It was the unfamous Norman Intelligence Department. However, the skills and skills of the Norman spies were in line with each other. They would not think that their immediate boss was a fool and would be weakened. In the end, he successfully fooled Pugachev, which strengthened his determination to commit suicide against the Norman Empire.
That's it.
After the spies came back, Egil met them and gave them generous rewards and praises. Sonia was also pleased to see the achievements made by her subordinates. Egil's reward for Sonia was "beep", "beep" and "beep". However, it seemed that Sonia was overwhelmed again... Sure enough, after exchanging the advanced "beep" ability, Egil, whose combat power was greatly improved, was not something that alone could satisfy.
However, there is something that makes Egil a little distressed. He has been in a relationship with the plural girls for a while - but two of them cannot have children. The remaining three, Sonia, Maria and Nightingale, are very orthodox when giving birth to children because of their identity. So Egil pays great attention when "beeping" with them - Sonia and Maria don't know, and they are just wondering why their stomachs have not reacted at all for so long. However, after every time I have had sex with Nightingale, I look at the nurse lady who looks very resentful because she has ejaculated outside, Egil feels very stressed.
"Well, should you think about the heirs again?" Egil had a little headache. It seemed that there was no good candidate around him now. He was the kind who could give birth to a child, live a life in his identity, and both parties had emotional foundations... Hey. It seems that there was no one left after that...
"What do you want?"
"That, actually, just before, I suddenly came up with a very good plan - to marry you, and then find someone to cut the kid down. Then I bet you until you get pregnant and then establish our child as the heir. In this way, there will be no problem with moral and emotional aspects - sister. Let's have a baby next - it's better for a woman-"
"—You go and die!"
So, this time Aurora took the initiative to block the connection with Egil.
OK OK OK OK OK OK Don't worry about this kind of thing for the time being. Egil is only twenty-one and nine months old now. He is still young - in the Tian Dynasty in the world, he is not even at the legal age for marriage. Just step up a little bit, and it's time to pay attention to finding a suitable fertility machine.
After that, Aurora didn't pay attention to Egil for a long time, and Egil didn't take the initiative to contact her. In the end, Aurora couldn't help but provoke the topic - at the beginning they were serious business and something. But after two days, they returned to normal. Egil didn't care, and just said it, just as if it hadn't happened. However, what he said made Aurora feel in his heart...
So, it was September in a blink of an eye. The spies entered Kherson with good news. On the southern Syria coast, the Norman fleet and Hussars became active again. The Norman army in Kherson lost another 40,000. Now there are less than 10,000 soldiers left by Egil.
Other countries, European countries that decided to join the crusade, had completely completed mobilization and assembly at this moment and began to find ways to head towards the holy land.
As similar as Egil imagined, the Spanish countries are now busy with the liberation movement, hoping to take this opportunity to occupy a little more chassis in Iberia. The Pope is just swearing, and no soldiers are mobilized. Philip of France, Albert of Austria, and Henry of Swabian cannot trust Egil, so he did not move towards Herson. He would rather spend a lot of money to hire the fleet of Venice and Milan - Albert. After all, he is the nominal master of the Grand Duke of Milan. So it didn't cost much money to dispatch Milan's ships - and Philip of Venice almost matched the coffin.
However, although this fox spent a lot of money in vain, it was very high in nature. Perhaps it was because after military reform, it was believed that the French army was invincible in the world. It was because it could plunder more wealth from the holy land than the assets he invested... Egil kept cursing Yateng's fleet in his heart when it encountered a storm, and it would be best if it was all blown to sink. Drop into the sea to feed the turtle...
In this way, Egil calculated that a total of four countries only participated in the Crusade in name only. Two countries had their own fleets, and three countries could not trust themselves. Then, the next ones to come to Kherson were Burgundy, Brandenburg, Hesse, Bavaria and Hungary.
"Is this a sideline in a sense?" Egil thought so. He made up his mind to win over the kings and dukes of these five countries and let them support themselves in gaining dominance of the crusaders to facilitate Egil's actions.
"It would be great if we could determine a certain system dominated by the empire during this Crusade - even abandon the Roman Catholic Church, start a new fire and establish a secular monarchy alliance." Egil was also very calculating. He regained Jerusalem and became a great hero to save the holy land, so as to suppress the royal family of the continental kings, and let them recognize themselves as the leader. Let the whole continent calm down - without asking them to put any effort into the future confrontation with the Mongol Empire. Just don't pull their hind legs.
The more Egil thought about this, the more likely it was. So he kept writing letters to the two kings and three dukes to contact them. He also hoped that after they arrived in Kherson, they could have an alliance with them. He also vaguely revealed his desire to be the leader.
Afterwards, Egil received reply one after another. In addition to the old slickering Lion Henry, the other four continental princes expressed support for his proposal - Burgundy's bold Charles was an old ally of the Norman Empire. He also had to rely on Egil's help to get the title of king, and also on the Norman Empire to help them deal with France, which has recovered its national strength. Hesse and Brandenburg in North Germany were afraid of the military power of the Norman Empire, and on the other hand, they had to rely on trade with the Norman Empire. Hungary was in a mess and was in a mess. If it weren't for the help and relief of the Norman Empire, they would have collapsed long ago...
Therefore, these four countries will definitely support Egil. Egil has this confidence.
As for several other countries participating in the crusade - Austria, Swabian and France, they are already sure they are competitors. They will definitely not agree with Egil as the leader of the alliance. One of the French kings and the Shenluo Emperors has some weight... But Austria's Albert satellites have their own predecessors, and their influence on the domestic princes is limited. Otherwise, Egil would have no chance to become the commander of the crusade...
Apart from the four who certainly support themselves, three who certainly will not support themselves, there are three guys who don’t know what their attitude will be - Henry of Bavaria, Vette Dandoro, Governor of Venice, and Francis Sforza, Duke of Milan.
These three guys are all people with an ambiguous attitude. Among them, Henry of Bavaria was cunning. He usurped the title of Duke of Bavaria by relying on a war between Norman and the Holy Roman Empire, and indirectly owed Egil a favor - but speaking of it, Bavaria and Austria were also quite close. The Holy Roman Emperor Albert also had many envys for Bavaria - but this time, Henry did not follow Albert and went south to Milan to rent a ship, but accepted Egil's invitation and went to Helsson...
"Do you want to get along with others? This damn bastard... Rather than saying you are a lion, you are an old fox - no, you should be a catfish-like thing that is unrestrained..." This is Egil's evaluation of Henry.
"It seems that such a guy has no point in winning him over. But as long as the price is right, you can reach an agreement with him."
So Egil had already figured out the way to target Henry, which was to give him real benefits.
The other two Italian countries, Venetian Governor Vette Dandoro, was only given the position of governor under the support of Egil. However, in recent years, with the strengthening of the Norman Empire's trade power in the Mediterranean, it has seized a lot of market share that originally belonged to Venice. The citizens and parliamentarians of Venetian quite dislike Norman, a huge empire with a monarchy. In the final analysis, he, as the Venetian Governor, still has to rely on Venetian people. So Egil does not have much hope for this guy...
"For this guy, you have to force him to tempt him at the same time." Egil murmured to himself. I believe that under the use of both soft and hard coercion and temptation by the Norman Empire, the Venetians will also surrender.
"Then next, only Milan is left..." Egil was a little worried when he thought of this. Because Egil had never dealt with Sforza, the Duke of Milan. Although there was a lot of information to analyze, they were all second-hand ones after all, and there was inevitably some deviation. (To be continued)
