Chapter 99: Dividing territory

"So, I think so about the holy land and the Middle East. ( ! ) Divide this into six kingdoms, namely Syria, Palestine, Egypt, Thebes, Babylon and Saudi Arabia. The people who made meritorious contributions in this battle were princes or grand dukes to govern these lands. The prince's men also divided several dukes into imitating the electoral system of the Holy Roman Empire. The new prince was elected from the dukes and the descendants of the old prince. They were recognized by the suzerain and canonized by the Roman Catholic Church. That's all. Do you have any opinions?"

When the various places were pacified, many Crusaders began to come to Egil to talk about things intentionally or unintentionally - what should we do with such a large territory in the Fatima Empire? That means, we also want to get a share of the pie. We don’t expect to get a territory as big as the entire kingdom. However, it’s good to get a duke or even an earl.

Egil beat him for several days and thought to himself whether he could have dragged this matter down, or if someone had something to do at home and went back without participating in this, it would have been less than a person who would share the cake.

However, no one is willing to be a sucker in such a matter of interest. No one wants to give in. In the end, Egil held a meeting helplessly. The continental princes who participated in the crusade, plus an Eastern Roman emperor, gathered together to hold a meeting. Discuss how to divide the spoils - I mean to maintain the stability of the holy land and spread Catholic doctrine.

"Since you can't swallow one more piece, then I must hold the knife for the cake." Egil made up his mind secretly and smiled. In recent times, the emperor has vented a lot of heat on his new love Bamami, and his temper has improved a lot. He will also smile when he speaks.

"So... how should the titles of princes or grand princes in these six countries be assigned?" Opposite, French King Philip asked the question everyone wanted to know the most.

"The Grand Duke of Syria is Marshal Joan of Arc. I have announced this before. Do you have no objection?" Egil asked with a chuckling. Although the monarchs of several other countries were not willing to accept it, the land was captured by others. Emperor Norman seemed to be determined to eat the land. It was really unwise to fight him at this time.

So, except for Basil II who snorted lightly, everyone nodded and said yes. He agreed to Egir's words - after all, for the Europa, Syria is a place where pagans live and are difficult to manage. What they like is the old land of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, which is what Egir calls the Palestinian Kingdom.

"And Egypt... I have divided southern Egypt into the Kingdom of Thebes. Who is here willing to command this place?" Egil asked with a smile. As a result, the group of people present remained silent.

If Lower Egypt had the port of Alexandria, Cairo, the Nile River, and could navigate with continental Europe, then the kings of the nations would probably still want to fight. Although it was ruined by Queen Norman, it would be possible to make up for this loss after decades of recovery. At the same time, control the place and trade with the East through sea. The end was a good land.

However, if it is Upper Egypt... it is a bit...isolated by Lower Egypt, unable to communicate with the mainland, close to Black Africa, another powerful Islamic country, Ethiopia. The road is far away, the people are tough, and the governance is difficult...

If Egil had packed these two countries together, there would have been no one else who would have wanted them. But judging from Egil's appearance, it was obvious that he would not do this. The kings and dukes, except for silence, were silent, and they were not allowed to give it to you for nothing.

"What a pity." Egil shook his head, and a look of regret appeared on his face. But he didn't know if it was because he couldn't get rid of the burden, or because of something else.

"So, since you are so humble, I am embarrassed to take action. We will put aside the Kingdom of Thebes. Then what about the Kingdom of Egypt—"

"Egypt words..." Charles, the kingdom of Burgundy, was excited when he heard Egil mention Egypt. He was about to speak, but saw Egil smiling. He cursed in his heart and stopped talking. He completed the crusade feat and burned Jerusalem. He was famous for his reputation. Even Basil II was three-point afraid, let alone other continental monarchs.

"A madman is also the most powerful empire in the continent. He has extremely powerful madman who can destroy any country's force and is indescribable. Normal people will be afraid." At that time, King Philip of France defended himself in his heart: "There is nothing to be ashamed of being afraid of this madman. Those who are not afraid of him can only be a madman like him. And I am a normal person."

Normally, people should avoid it after seeing a madman. Even if they can't, they should try their best not to stimulate the madman. Therefore, the continental kings all hope that others will make the first birds, and follow up on their own or enjoy the fruits. Therefore, no one dares to speak at this moment.

"Since everyone has no objection, then I will talk about my attitude towards Egypt." Egil chuckled: "Because the one who led the troops to Egypt and won the victory was Artoria, so, you should be fine if you handed over Egypt to the Queen of Artoria?"

"Fuck! The problem is big!" The European princes were so angry that they wanted to stand up and shout - they had seen bullies, but had never seen such a blatant bully. Egypt, Syria, and the two most essential coastal territories were occupied by you?! In addition, you had been promised to go out before. You occupied three of the six kingdoms. Let's drink the northwest wind?! It's true that you are the protagonist, but we are not a supporting actor!

After Egil finished speaking, he smiled with a smile on his lips, deliberately paused for more than ten seconds, fully appreciating the ugly behavior of the European princes. After his perverted self-esteem was greatly satisfied, he laughed hahaha. Then he pressed his hands down and stopped the European princes' rampage in advance - of course, it wouldn't matter if they really ran away. Wearing armor and holding a demon sword, Egil could hit twenty.

"Okay, okay, don't worry. Although the position of the Prince of Egypt and the Duke of Alexander are the two items of Artoria, in addition to this, I think other areas, even the lands in Cairo can be divided. Egypt's territory is very large. It is not a problem to divide ten or eight dukes."

After hearing Egil's statement, the Continental princes breathed a sigh of relief. It would be better if there was no fish or shrimp. What's more, Cairo, which is an amazing city. It may be better than his current capital. Thinking of this, the Continental king, including Basil II, looked at each other, as if he was a black-eyed chicken, exuding unconcealed hostility.

"France has made the most efforts in this battle, with heavy casualties in soldiers. I hope you can understand."

"I, the Burgundy Warriors, are also striving for the first place. In terms of credit, we are not bad either!"

"Cairo has been an integral part of the sacred sacredness of the Roman Empire since ancient times!!"

Finally, after a debate, quarrel and bargaining, Cairo finally fell into the hands of the Greeks. Looking at Basil II's complacent look, Egil finally didn't laugh out loud.

"I hope the Greeks don't cry after seeing Cairo." Egil thought so in his heart. Before that, he discussed with Artoria. Cairo was going to separate. She wanted to "good" and clean up for her allies. According to Artoria's personality, Cairo could not even have a scum left after such "good"...

Several other countries eventually divided a duke or an earl's lord. Just like a group of hungry wolves, all the territory of Lower Egypt was divided into small pieces. Looking at the Egyptian map produced by Norman, divided into small pieces by dense lines, the continental princes finally looked smiling.

"Then, the next one is the Kingdom of Palestine." Egil said: "Before this, I promised that whoever can obtain Saladin's head will be the Prince of Jerusalem. I believe you will give me a face, right?"

The continental princes were silent again, and seemed to be dissatisfied with Egil's statement.

"Of course, except for the capital Jerusalem and some territories of the Sinai Peninsula, other areas will be enfeoffed like Egypt." Egil chuckled and gave the other monarchs a reassurance.

"Then, it was strange that the city of Jerusalem was destroyed that day. We don't know who killed Saladin in the chaos. How should this be calculated?" Basil II asked.

"Indeed, Saladin died suddenly that day. Otherwise, if he had captured him alive, wouldn't it be better if I cut him down with another knife? Hahahaha..."

"...Can I understand that Emperor Egil is telling a joke?" Frederick asked in a low voice next to Lucivid.

"...Well, probably?" Lucivid said in doubt.

Egil smiled for two seconds, and saw that everyone around him looked at him in embarrassment, so he muttered in a low voice: "A group of barbarians without love." So he stopped laughing. He said: "At that time, the Crusaders were divided into four branches and attacked the four gates of Jerusalem. Therefore, many people did not see it. But at that time, I, and His Majesty Philip of France, could see clearly. Who killed Saladin..."
