Today, Egil has long become recognized as the world's largest power by continental countries. Even the Eastern Roman Empire, on the surface, was disdainful of the Normans, but still missed that in the Second Battle of Budapest, the Eastern Roman army defeated the style of the European coalition led by the Norman Empire. At the same time, it did not forget that in terms of law, the other title of the Norman king Egil, the King of the Norman Empire, was a reward from the Eastern Romans - but, although unwilling, even though they would never say it out. In the deep heart, the Greeks subconsciously regarded the Norman Empire as a great empire that was stronger than themselves - at least it was also a great empire that could be compared with themselves.

Of course, this is absolutely not said. Even if you are very close to the Norman Empire psychologically and maintain a close relationship beyond friendship with the emperor of the Norman Empire, you even feel that there are many aspects of Eastern Rome that need to be learned from the Norman Empire. You should try to be vigilant when communicating with others. Remind yourself not to say too much praise to the Normans - even use neutral words as little as possible to avoid hurting the sensitive and fragile self-esteem of the Romans.

That's about it. The Norman Empire, within the known range, Europe, North Africa, and the Near East, has become the veritable strongest man in the so-called Western world. And Egil, Scadragrimson, the man who has become a living legend, has only taken six years to complete this miracle.

"If you want to make progress, just learn from the Normans. They are modern and the most progressive country in civilized society. They have perfect laws, perfect political systems, perfect commercial systems, perfect agricultural systems, perfect handicrafts, and equally perfect military systems... It seems that there is no rare thing in this world that can defeat that nation or that emperor - of course, all this is based on absolute dictatorship, absolute lord [the Baidu Empire has never been sacred]. The Lord**, the absolute and endless shameless plunder of other nations and countries."

Italian scholars at that time commented on the Norman Empire in this way. Although they recognized the progress of the Norman Empire, they believed that this was an evil and extremely advanced. They could fully feel that if they could not eat grapes, they said that grapes were sour. What exactly did it mean?

But it doesn't matter. When the Norman Empire's ubiquitous espionage system sent these comments about Egil and comments on the Norman Empire to the tyrant, Egil and Scadragrimson were not ashamed but proud, and finally laughed: "So, let's do it. Invade the entire old world and even the entire new world and squeeze it out. This is what an empire should be."

Of course, other countries would not be so willing to be second-rate and become the targets of being exploited and bullied by the Norman Empire. However, their king, even the smartest, could not play the entire country like Egil, through a complete bureaucratic system, his cheap and capable sister, and a powerful system like cheating. All they could do was follow the steps of the Norman Empire, learn to walk around and follow.

Whenever the Norman Empire introduced a series of reform measures - whether military or political. Other countries would copy them, modify the subject-predicate object slightly and then send them out. Whenever the Norman Empire made any decision - whether it was planting new crops or opening up new trade routes, other countries would immediately take these measures, modify the subject-predicate object again, and publish them again - of course, because of the differences in countries, because of the ruling ability, and the level of productivity. The excellent political system in the Norman Empire could not be said to be a tyranny that brutal harmed the people in other countries - however, other European countries still enjoy it.

"As long as you can learn a little bit of fur, the kingdom will be of great benefit - after all, most countries are still in a very primitive, very backward, and very ignorant state. In such a country, it is like painting on white paper. You can do whatever you want. Even if there are some mistakes, it doesn't matter...

That's about it. The political system of the Norman Empire and the national policy of the Norman Empire were one of the most popular things in the West in the 11th century AD. This time, the Norman Empire took a long voyage and gained a lot of benefits, which made the continental countries covet.

It is not close to the seaside, and the domestic division is divided. [The Baidu Empire has never been sacred]. The German princes who were preparing to beat human heads into dog heads for the throne of the Holy Roman Empire are not counted. The national strength is declining, the nobles are extremely dissatisfied, and the Three Kingdoms of Spain, which are extremely troubled and have extremely serious internal and external troubles, do not count - in addition, those pagan countries and countries that believe in Allah do not count.

The countries were eliminated: France, Burgundy, the Principality of Milan in Italy, the Republic of Venice, the Vatican, and the Eastern Roman Empire. The entire country was either close to the seaside, had a tradition of sailing and doing business, or had a strong national strength. After hearing about the Norman Empire's sailing and making a fortune, these countries could no longer sit still.

"I think we should send missionaries to Atlantis to convert to Catholicism and spread the glory of the Lord." Pope Gregory VII at that time said this, while fantasizing about a large number of natives trying their best to transport gold into their vaults, and saliva flowed out unknowingly.

"Send a fleet! Expedition! We will bring the legendary New World into France's control! I think that after I die, people will add a sentence when evaluating me: Atlantis Conqueror!" At that time, the king of France, who was worried about reform funds and the military pay needed to expand the army, shouted desperately.

This unlucky monarch was tortured by the Seljuk light cavalry during the process of crossing Asia Minor. After all, he was lucky and survived to the territory of Eastern Rome. However, the Eastern Roman Empire, which had no good friendship with the French, did not want to make the French army so cheap

"Or stay here and help us fight against the Turks, and help you leave after we win. Otherwise, it would be impossible to transport you with the Roman fleet - but you must spend a lot of money to let the imperial fleet help you." At that time, the Eastern Roman princess Lilianu, who was commanding the war in Asia Minor, said to Philip IV unhappily.

"Stay here?! Just kidding, I don't want to be cannon fodder for the Romans!" So France spent a lot of money - almost all the spoils they plundered from the holy land, and then bought the help of the Roman fleet. In addition, Philip also paid several territories in the Near East, which had just obtained a lot of money in the holy land. France, which had made a fortune in the holy land, became poor again.

"Atlantis has been the territory of the Roman Empire since ancient times, and an inseparable part of the sacred. We firmly oppose other countries' invasion of territory belonging to the Roman Empire!" On the other side, the legendary Eastern Roman Empire continued to show off his "speaks since ancient times."

Other countries, such as Burgundy, Brandenburg, Hesse and Hungary, and the Principality of Moscow. The allies, quasi-alliers, vassals and quasi-vassals of the Norman Empire also sent envoys and said, "Boss, you must bring me such wealth with me..." or similar words, hoping to share some benefits.

The most anxious thing should be considered the countries of Italy. For a long time, these countries on the Apennine Peninsula have shouldered the role of second-hand dealers and even third-hand dealers. With their ability to navigate, huge navy and trade capabilities, they have relied on earning hand-paying fees to squeeze European countries. The merchants and nobles of the Italian city-states are proud of themselves: on land, perhaps those rude Frank and Germanic nobles can gain the upper hand. But in the ocean, we merchants are definitely the advantage.

However, what they were proud of was completely insignificant in front of the powerful Norman fleet. After the victory of the Crusaders, the Arab Empire, which originally spanned the East and the West, collapsed, and the continental countries participating in the battle all gained a lot of territory in the Near East. This made the situation where Italian merchants monopolized Mediterranean trade forever - the Norman fleet, which had a larger transportation volume, faster, more reasonable and safer prices, Norman merchants with official backgrounds snatched away many of their businesses in the Eastern Mediterranean region. This made Italian merchants very distressed.

Before the Italian merchants could figure out how to act in the Eastern Mediterranean region, the Norman Empire, the damn Norman Emperor, had such a thing-the lost continent, Atlantis, the kingdom of gold, but even iron tools could not be produced? Any little garbage would be exchanged for the gold of the three major ships?! I'll wipe it for a long time, will the Italian merchants still have a way out?!

Therefore, Italian merchants jumped up and down, looking for opportunities to join this voyage.

In this way, under the leadership and demonstration of the Norman Empire, other countries either began to explore alone or hoped to join the Norman Empire's long-distance fleet. For a time, the New World and Atlantis became the hottest topics in the continent. And those who deliberately extended these topics were naturally the ubiquitous and professional spies in the Norman Empire...

"It's a lot of money again." Egil said to Aurora with a chuckling, "The so-called Age of Discovery, well, this is what it takes. The European countries will do together, add pirates, black eating, privateing licenses... I can make another big money." (
