Chapter 13 The Miserable Cossack Monthly Pass)
The Empire has never been sacred 13, and the Empire has never been sacred. The fifth saint alliance. Chapter 13 The tragic Cossack (please give me a monthly vote in the third update)
On October 26, the farthest Burgundian army finally arrived in Hersson after nearly four months of long-distance marching. It is worthy of being a new European power. Its strength is much stronger than the other countries, such an army of 10,000, 10,000, and 5,000 - a total of 30,000 elite soldiers, including 15,000 elite spearmen and halberd soldiers from Switzerland, as well as 10,000 Flemish halberd soldiers and slingers trained by Charlie of Burgundy, and 10,000 Flemish halberd soldiers and slingers trained by the Swiss, as well as the Golden Wool Knights trained by the Norman heavy cavalry, as well as the longbowmen hired from England, and the crossbowmen hired from Italy.
In this way, the 30,000 troops, heavy cavalry, projection infantry and melee infantry are all equipped to cope with most of the battles. They are well equipped and have good training. It can be seen that Charlie spent a lot of effort and money, but trained a good team of elite troops.
Then there was another banquet, praising and drinking. Burgundy was different from the other four countries. It was Norman's old ally. There were many correspondences between Egil and Charlie. Charlie naturally knew that if Egil was the commander-in-chief of the Crusader, he would never have treated him unfairly. Naturally, he strongly supported him.
During the banquet, Charlie introduced his young only daughter, Mary, who is now in his forties, to three wives. He has a large number of lovers. However, his offspring was not satisfactory. If there were no surprises, the sixteen-year-old princess would be crowned the second generation of Burgundy after his death.
Therefore, Charlie was extremely interested in this daughter. In addition to hiring tutors, pastors and Norman scholars who understand Latin to educate her, she also asked her to learn equestrian, fencing and military strategies, such as things that men should learn. Princess Mary is said to have also determined her own destiny (high-quality texts are first released, all in %). She studied very seriously in every subject. She was not as playful as children of this age. Although she is only sixteen years old, she has completed a large number of courses in Latin, theology and philosophy. She has a great reputation as a talented woman in Burgundy. Many princes and dukes in the courts of various countries like this girl.
However, Charlie did not want his daughter to marry an independent king or duke - because this meant that the Burgundy Kingdom he had worked hard to establish would be sent out as a dowry after his death. His life's hard work was wasted.
So, Charlie wants to find a son-in-law who is married to the family. It is best to be a timid and fearful young man who is honest and will not get involved in power. It is perfect to hold his grandson before he dies.
In addition, Charlie has no intention of interfering with his daughter's private life - anyway, the one who ran out of her daughter's belly must be her grandson. There will be no doubt about this. In other words, Charlie wants an heir. No matter who it is...
That's it.
"It doesn't matter what. What I have to consider now is not the continent, but the threat from the more eastern. As long as Burgundy can remain stable, and continue to be an ally of the empire, threaten France and make the fox dare not move... Of course, it is also necessary to maintain a good relationship with the next leader of Burgundy." Egir thought so, while raising his wine glass and looking at the sixteen-year-old girl with a smile on his lips. Then he said:
"I propose to drink a drink together for the young and talented heirs of Burgundy."
Since Emperor Ezra proposed, the others naturally would not be embarrassed - although the heir to the throne of Burgundy was a little different from the great princes and kings. But he could not resist the emperor's pride. The others immediately stood up and raised their glasses to look at Princess Mary together: "For His Highness, Princess Mary, everyone will drink a drink together."
"For the health of all elders." Princess Mary naturally did not dare to be arrogant. She stood up immediately and said this. Then she turned her face and blushed when she saw Egil's gentle smile. She lowered her head and finished drinking quickly - she choked and coughed all the time, which made the people around her burst into laughter with kindness.
Speaking of which, Egil also noticed the little movements that the girl kept looking at her. But it felt nothing. Doesn’t the little girls of this age just like handsome handsome guys like her? Looking next to her, Lucivid and Albrecht are both middle-aged uncles in their thirties. Attila and Henry are even in their fifties and can be her grandfather’s people. If she doesn’t look at herself, who should she look at?
Of course, Egil has no sexual interest in this freckled little girl (high-quality texts are first released, all in %). He doesn't want to be wronged to consolidate his ally relationship. Just be ordinary friends.
While thinking this, Emperor Ei turned his face to look at his wife. With a snap of his fingers, the maid next to him immediately poured him... lemon juice like wine, and then he met Artoria.
Seeing the Norman Emperor and the Queen opposite him look so lovingly, the little girl next to the King of Burgundy sighed in slightest.
"What's wrong? My daughter?" Charlie quickly noticed the inappropriateness of his baby daughter, and then asked in a low voice.
"Father-they are not compatible at all. I mean the Emperor of Norman and that woman. His Majesty Egil is so knowledgeable, so smart and graceful, but that woman is vulgar as if she is a countryman. She does not understand etiquette at all. She does not have the knowledge and temperament she deserves as a queen." Princess Mary lowered her voice and said in a low voice with a little anger.
"Maybe that's the case. My daughter." Seeing Artoria sitting next to Egil was eating and screaming completely regardless of her image. However, Egil raised her glasses frequently, singing and laughing. Charlie also agreed with his daughter's point of view. Perhaps many people had the same idea - if Egil was willing to continue choosing, although there were not many people, he would definitely find a woman who was more suitable and higher in status than Artoria - not to mention that for nearly six years, this noble queen still had not given birth to the descendants of the empire. No one could tell that Egil was wrong.
However, Egil likes Artoria as always. From the first time he met Artoria to the present - or from now until Egil's death, he has always liked his queen. No one said it was useless.
At this moment, King Charles looked at his daughter and looked at the Norman Queen and his wife who seemed very loving, and basically understood what was going on--although he wanted to maintain a friendly relationship with the Norman Empire and did not care about his daughter's private life--but if his heir had something to do with such a cunning and dangerous person in Norman, he would not want to see him. Therefore, His Majesty the King was ready to persuade his daughter well. He was preparing to speak, and he heard that the Lord's seat, Emperor Egil stood up again.
"Everyone! Now, the allies we are waiting for. Our Christ brothers are all here! We have a total of 220,000 troops! This is a grand occasion that can be compared with the war between us years ago with Eastern Rome! We uphold justice and firmly believe. We gather under the bright red cross flag (high-quality text starts, all in %). We are about to march towards the Holy Land!"
The people cheered and heard such an intense and exciting speech by Emperor Norman. The Christians were all excited.
"Of course, the opponents we are facing are very powerful and very cunning - they are familiar with geography and numerous. They have gained evil power from the devil masters they believe in, and have become distorted and extremely cruel - they overthrew the Christian domination in the Holy Land, and even for a moment, gained the upper hand in the battle with us!"
Egil paused at this point. Looking at the expressions of fear, anger, or helplessness, he continued: "But we will eventually win! Because our faith is correct! Because our way is bright! Because of the blessing of Jesus Christ!!! And because of ourselves and our own efforts! Christians all over the world will be invincible when united!!!"
With Egil so idealistic, but very appropriate speeches and encouragement, the guards, maids and princes and nobles cheered.
"Our warship is fully ready! My friends, tomorrow we can board the warship and go to Jerusalem to save the holy land!"
Egil ended with such a speech, stirring the atmosphere to the most enthusiastic. In the end, the host and guests returned happily...
Just when Egil made such a heroic oath, in a wilderness only three hundred kilometers away from Khlsson, the Cossack leader Pugachev asked his spies for the third time: "Did you find out clearly? Now Khlsson is an empty city, and all the Normans and other countries' crusaders left by boat?"
"Of course Khan! I've been inquiring again and again. A month ago, Emperor Norman's army had completely left. Now, except for a large number of baggage transportation and a small number of garrisons, there are no troops stationed there!"
"That's good, that's good... This is a big deal about our Cossacks' lives - pass on my orders. Tomorrow morning, the sun rises and eats. After half an hour, he will raid Helsson and cut off the Normans' logistics!"
"As for orders, Khan!" Several confidants around Pugachev immediately ran out to pass the order.
"Don't be idle either - send spies to rush over overnight. If you can open the city gate at the moment of my army's attack, you will be a great achievement!"
"Yes, Khan!" The spy leader knelt on the ground excitedly, bowed his head and saluted. However, the smile on the corner of his mouth did not seem to be all for Pugachev's promise... (To be continued)
