Chapter 16 Arrival in Constantinople
The Empire has never been sacred 16, the Empire has never been sacred 5th Saint Alliance Chapter 16 Arriving at Constantinople
This article comes from [%] After reading these three characteristics, Egil felt that in addition to the legendary conqueror who can add highlights to the control, which is very useful, the other two will not help him. They will even have certain side effects. It is really a scam to death.
"Forget it, this kind of thing basically doesn't matter. The lack of ability will be supplemented by other factors. In addition, I have a general system second only to the Mongol Empire, and a civil servant system that is far beyond the world..."
But when it comes to the civil service system, he thinks of his cheap sister. This makes Egil feel a little distressed. Although the emotional problems have been solved, after nearly six years, he and Aurora have been able to cooperate. But this does not mean that Egil will happily hand over his empire to Aurora. The best way to both worlds is the one Egil had thought about before. It would be better to have a baby with Aurora.
Of course, this will take time... At least during this period of the Crusades, Egil may not be able to take other further and more direct response methods except for verbally teasing.
"Look, Egil, it's a seagull!" At this time, Artoria, who had been standing beside Egil, pointed at the sky and said to Egil.
"Well, it's a seagull." Egil nodded: "So, it should be close to land... It's about to reach the Greek territory."
At this time, sailors shouted on the watchtower above the warship: "It's land! I saw the land! What a big city! It's Constantinople!!"
With the lookouts, the soldiers cheered - the time floating on the ocean was absolutely boring. Although the warships of the Norman Empire were much better than other countries, the narrow ships that looked like canned sardines. But after staying for a long time, they still felt bored. The food they could eat at sea was also very rare. Most of them were pickled products. After a long time, they couldn't stop. Not to mention, there was no women on the ship - old sailors were afraid of these and did not want women on the ship. Therefore, the Norman Navy could not be like the army. There was a perfect military prostitute camp to have fun. This last little fun was also lost.
"I finally arrived on land! Constantinople is Constantinople! After getting off the boat, you must go in and have a good look!"
"How is that possible?! The Greeks would never let us enter. But staying in the dock area outside the city should also find some fun."
Although the speeches were slightly different, everyone's face was full of joy. Whether it was sailors, sailors, or the army on the transport ships, whether it was princes and nobles or ordinary civilian soldiers. They were very happy at this moment.
"Oh... Constantinople..." At this moment, Egil also felt a little yearning for - although Egil was arrogant, his current capital, Krakow, would definitely not be inferior to Constantinople. However, Egil was still very much looking forward to this medieval city. This is not the incongruous Istanbul that was occupied by those bastard Turks. It was the original Orthodox city in the heyday of the Eastern Roman Empire. It must be worth watching.
Egil was sure that although there should be no possibility for ordinary soldiers to enter the city, it seems that people like Egil have come. Basil II has to take care of him no matter what.
"Before! The Greeks sent ships!" At this time, the lookout hand began to shout again.
Now the Norman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire are allies. They also foreshadowed the other party in advance. The Normans would bring a large fleet to enter the Mediterranean through the Marmara Sea and the Dardanelles. The Eastern Romans also agreed. Therefore, Egil did not have to worry about the other party's trouble. After all, he had already transported a large number of troops through the Dardanelles. Although sometimes, the Eastern Romans would complain. I didn't expect that the Normans had so many ships, blocking the channel, and making the merchant ships of Eastern Roman waste time... and so on. However, there was no such situation in conflict.
After all, the Eastern Romans were not fools. The Eastern Roman merchants were not even worse. The Norman Empire's navy defeated the Eastern Roman Navy with fewer victory and more once when the Eastern Roman invaded the continent a few years ago. Now the Norman Empire's national strength is growing and the naval power is changing even stronger. In comparison, the Eastern Roman gradually showed signs of lack of strength and decline. At this moment, the Eastern Roman Empire was interested in maintaining peace with the Norman Empire and its commercial ties with the Norman Empire. What's more, the liberation of the Holy Land is the common mission of Christians. It is legitimate to postpone the merchant ships a little.
And the warships with the Eastern Roman Eagle Flag, as Egil thought, came to greet them, not hostile.
"Send flag language. Thank them... Well, right. The Eastern Roman fleet did not invent such advanced flag language. Forget it. Let's talk about it after getting ashore."
Therefore, on November 8, the pier near Golden Horn Bay, the largest port area of the Eastern Roman Empire, was almost filled with Norman ships. It started entering the port at nine o'clock in the morning, and until about six o'clock in the afternoon, there was nearly one-quarter of the Norman fleet that had not landed. The four-winged phoenix flag covering the sky and the nearly endless army made the people of Constantinople feel very frightened. Some people, even when they saw a large number of well-equipped Norman soldiers walking down from the warships, couldn't help but shout: "Xerxes is back!"
Although before that, the Greeks had a lot of exchanges with the Normans, and a large-scale battle in Hungary a few years ago was very difficult, and even some accidents occurred before they finally won. However, the ordinary Eastern Roman citizens still maintained the idea of being invincible in the world, and the rest of them were all slags. Although the veterans who returned on the battlefield also promoted the Normans' bravery and good at fighting, the general public only automatically understood it as: "Oh, a very cruel barbarian." In this way.
Before that, the Norman fleet did not dock very much. They usually brought down a few small boats to let a few intermediate officers communicate. Then the fleet drove directly over. Therefore, it did not cause such panic among the Greeks in Constantinople - however, this time it was different. This time, the Norman Emperor Egil, and the monarchs of the other five countries, Burgundy, Hungary, Hesse, Brandenburg and Bavaria, were all on this fleet. They had to come down and say hello to the Eastern Romans.
While fantasizing about taking two Greek girls after entering Eastern Rome, Egil turned around and said to the six kings and dukes on the left and right (including Artoria): "It would be too rude if you don't say hello and leave."
"Yeah, yeah." The other five male compatriots who thought of Egil nodded in a hurry. Only Artoria seemed a little confused. However, Artoria was quite looking forward to Constantine's jewelry, clothing, culture and art (high-quality texts are first released, all in %). So she had no intention of opposing Egil's proposal at all.
In this way, the Greeks finally saw another new country in the continent, which is now emerging, and witnessed the great military power of the Norman Empire. After that, many Greeks asked about familiar business travelers and travelers, and then they realized that the barbarians who had been defeated by the empire were originally just a bitter and cold place that had not been conquered in the northernmost part of Eastern Rome. Now they have unified the entire Ross grassland. From Crimea to Neo Scandinavia, from Moscow to Poland, the territory of the Norman Empire is extremely close to the Roman Empire!
"This is even more powerful than the Bulgarian barbarians and Simon before!" Many Greeks remembered the terrifying barbarian leaders who repeatedly defeated the imperial army and finally unified most of the Greek peninsula and established the Bulgarian Empire. They involuntarily compared the Normans with them.
"They have fully acquired the territory of the Ross. So, will they continue to go south and attack our empire?"
Many Greeks also made such comments.
"No way... His Tsar's title was also the canonization of His Majesty Basil!"
So someone refuted this.
"What exactly is he coming here for? Is he going to attack Constantinople?"
There are also idiots who asked such a question. They were then unanimously despised by everyone.
"That man also believes in Jesus Christ - he is a saint who saves the Holy Land! Even if he is not a Greek, he still has a noble identity and a holy soul. We should cheer for him!"
Some people have said such words.
"So, will he return Jerusalem to the empire after he conquered Jerusalem?"
No one can answer such a question. People are equally afraid that this crusader would defeat the pagans like his predecessors with the support of Eastern Rome - but in turn, they put the territories that should belong to the empire into their own pockets...
"Anyway, let's go and see him. Look at the savage emperor!" No matter how many doubts you have, no matter what kind of thoughts and motivations you have, the final choice of the Greeks, the most direct and most troublesome action, was to "take a look". Soon, the dock area of Golden Horn Bay was filled with Greeks who came to watch the fun. The news soon spread throughout Constantine. More and more people went to watch the fun... (To be continued)
