Chapter 69 is more like the evil camp

At that time, when Egil said such words to the crowd with a full face, some people had already started praying for the people in Jerusalem. According to Egil's character, after saying such words in public, don't expect that there will be any living things left after Jerusalem is breached.

From beginning to end, titles such as Liberator and Saver have no chance of Egil, and a slightly neutral conqueror is the best evaluation. Most of the residents who live in the Norman Empire now agree with this title. They believe that their emperor is a natural legendary conqueror. However, on the more urban ruins that were leveled by Egil, and in countless areas ravaged by the Norman Iron Cavalry, they prefer to call Egil by "devil", "destroyer" or similar titles. As emperors on earth, Egil's deeds are naturally spread far. Now there is basically nothing that the group of people standing in front of Egil is unknown.

"This, it seems like..." French Philip tried to dissuade Egil several times. But less than five seconds after meeting Egil's gaze, the guy lost his armor and failed shamefully.

"Then it's all, the city walls, the urban areas, the residential areas... are all demolished. Just leave the Holy Sepulchre Cathedral. All the others are rebuilt. That's it." Egil still smiled and said words that made the kings shudder. At this moment, no one dared to ask Egil: "So... what should this city do in the future? Will you own it by your Majesty?" or similar words. In fact, the kings and dukes could not find a better way to deal with it except silent at this moment.

"Okay, okay, everyone." Egil clapped his hands: "Now, our crusaders are still fighting on the front line. Now is not a good time to chat-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Well, maybe what you said makes sense. His Majesty Egil." In such a situation, even Philip, the king of France, dared not fight against the soldiers. To a large extent, these foolish, or pious soldiers, were more loyal to God than their kings.

"Okay! Let's go!" Egil continued to greet the soldiers, and stepped onto the war horse again, pulled out his saber, and shouted like this. Then he lowered his head and looked down at the kings and dukes from a high place, asking, "My friends, how do you answer my questions?"

"Of course I have to follow you." Lucivid, Duke of Hesse, said immediately. His low eyebrows made people feel illusioned for a moment. It seemed that Egil was his lord at this moment, not the dead, who had no one in his head.

"...for Jesus Christ." The French king said expressionlessly. Such lines seemed to indicate that he was not inspired by Egil, but because of his own beliefs... or something. But no matter how he did not deny Egil's orders, it could also be expressed from the side that he was ready to surrender to Egil. At least in recent times, during the Crusades.

"At least, this man was very fair in the last alliance... I hope he can do so well this time." Philip comforted himself by the last crusade and war with Eastern Rome. But in fact, he didn't know what Egir would do this time. After all, although Egir's army was strong, it was not invincible. He had to rely on other crusade countries to compete with the Eastern Roman Empire.

However, it is not the case now. Times have passed, and Egil's power is much greater than the last time when he was in the Crusade. His own army, his wife's army, his allies, quasi-alliers, vassals, quasi-vassals... In addition, Basil, who is now playing with applause by Egil, and still dreams of restoring the hegemony of Rome around the Mediterranean... Egil's current power is not the same as before. So will he still advocate fairness as he did last time, in order to enhance his authority and achieve the goal of controlling the entire Crusade?

"As sooner or later, I'll kill you." Egil's lips curled up and showed an amiable smile. He seemed to be dissatisfied with Philip's resistance. However, the murderous intent in the eyes of Emperor Norman almost condensed into substance. New hatred and old hatred--Sonia's injury this time once again aroused Egil's desire to protect the girls related to him. Then, as Philip Egil, who had hurt Joan of Arc, had a great sin, had also risen to a new level.

But now is not the time. Egil reminded himself like this. Then he took the lead and rushed out of the camp again. Following Egil were tens of thousands of crusaders. The soldiers from Eastern Rome, from France, from Burgundy, from the Holy Roman countries, from Italy, the professional troops from Norman, the mobilized soldiers launched by the Empire from its Eastern European territory, and even some from farther Iberia, from Moscow, from Armenia. Some of these soldiers were Catholic, some of them were Orthodox, and some even pagan beliefs. But at this moment, these soldiers were all gathered under the crusaders with a red cross on the white background - and at the same time, they were also gathered under the white phoenix flag!

The soldiers cheered and opened the gate of the camp, and some people couldn't wait to push down the fence of the camp. Then they ran out with great strides.

On the way forward, Egil reluctantly classified these soldiers--the assault infantry holding two-handed axes, long halberds, Swiss halberds, two-handed swords, hook sickles, and long-handed warhammers were placed on the front line. Behind them were large numbers of square infantry holding super-long spears and shield spears equipped with large shield spears--the number of these infantry was 20,000 to 30,000. Egil deployed them on the front of the battlefield. The infantry holding swords, nail hammers, tomahammers and other one-handed weapons, and the slums who spontaneously organized, holding farm tools and even sticks, were at the back, as a reserve team. Their number exceeded 30,000.

On both wings, heavy cavalry were deployed on the front line. Their number was between four and six thousand. The feudal knights who came spontaneously, the knights and knight mercenaries, as well as the entourages of the knights, as well as the Black Dragon Knights in Brandenburg, the Golden Wool Knights in Burgundy, the French military police Knights in France, and heavy cavalry from the Italian city-states, all belong to this sequence. Unfortunately, the iron armored paladins, guard cavalry and lances of the Eastern Roman Empire refused to participate in the battle on the grounds that they did not receive the emperor's orders. This made the heavy cavalry sequence look more Western.

These heavy cavalry from continental countries are usually equipped with Western-style composite armor, heavy chain armor or chain armor, rather than Western-style armor and scale armor. They hold Western-style heavy cavalry and kite-shaped shields. They are hung with long swords, sting swords, half-hand swords and other sub-armors - some of the rare Eastern-style heavy cavalry are temporarily recruited by the Norman Empire. They are wearing Eastern-style heavy scale armor or armor, holding spears and round shields. These unique equipment make these noble cavalry look eye-catching in the heavy cavalry sequence.

The light cavalry were deployed behind the heavy cavalry. Among them were informal cavalry from Western Europe, wearing leather armor, holding various ragged weapons, and equipped with inconsistent equipment. There were Balkan, Hungarian, Polish, and Lithuanian style cavalry from Eastern Europe, holding teardrop shields, maces, scimitars or warhammers, as well as Tatars, Kumans, Ross and Slavs from more eastern prairie, equipped with fur armor and leather hats. There were also Islamic archers from Asia Minor and Syria. Their number was between 8,000 and 11,000. They also existed as reserves.

This temporary army was large in lineup and high in morale, but it did not seem to have much organization and was slightly confused. Of course, this was a common problem with the army of this era. But Egil, who was used to advancing and retreating properly and being leisurely, just couldn't stand this. In fact, after seeing such a chaotic army, Emperor Norman did not feel like they were the righteous Acayas described by the bard. Instead, he felt that this army was more like the army under the command of the evil ancient Persian emperor Xerxes, the same multi-ethnic army to conquer Greece.

"It's casual... Speaking of which, we are indeed more like the evil faction." While complaining in his heart, Egil continued to raise his saber and shouted loudly: "For justice, truth, faith and glory!!" In order to inspire the morale of the army...
