When Norman and his allies advanced in a total of 320,000 troops towards the Southern Europe, the so-called Southern European Union was panicked. Especially Philip of France, after hearing that Burgundy and Norman gathered a total of 100,000 troops to attack France, almost turned aside. The army under the king who had just touched the foothills of the Alps, which had suffered serious loss of personnel due to war and fugitive reductions, now only more than 10,000 people were left. Moreover, his morale was low and his physical strength was exhausted. Philip II could not imagine what would have done if he had announced the news of the 100,000 troops to attack France.

Maybe he would cut off his head and scatter? After all, it was his own idea to sign the alliance treaty and join the so-called Southern European Union. Now, at this time, this idea seemed so stupid and stupid, just as Egil said. Now, there is no second Joan of Arc in the world to save France. The first one was completely kept in the dark. Egil knew that Joan of Arc was about France

Lanci's emotions were not just a casual word. If she knew that a war broke out between Norman and France, she might have been in a dilemma and even did something that Egil regretted. So, during this period, Egil did not assign any task to her based on Joan of Arc's physical problems. To be precise, she completely concealed the war between the Norman Empire and France, and simply described the target of the war as the German princes.

"Whoever dares to tell the Syrian Grand Duke about France and war, I will kill anyone!" After threatening the maids who took care of Joan of Arc in this way, Egil set out with confidence. Joan of Arc, who felt something was a little wrong, was kept in the dark. Although, as the only two two field marshals of the Norman Empire, Joan of Arc felt a little regretful that he could not participate in this war.

And when Joan of Arc felt a little lonely when he thought about not being able to see Egil for a long time.

But things were so helpless. She was not the kind of girl who was not good at enduring and liked to lose her temper. Although she felt it was a little inappropriate, she still agreed to the decision made by Egil and stayed in the court of Krakow. She cultivated her body and mind, prayed and read the Bible every day, and lived a peaceful life without conflict.

Excluding the more than 10,000 defeated soldiers and generals around Philip, the number of troops in France is also quite sad. Now around London, because the war between Egil had not yet ascended the throne in the past few years, when Egil had not ascended the throne and became emperor, the nobles nearby were basically dead. Originally, Philip was quite satisfied with this situation.

Because of this, his direct territory increased greatly. However, at this time, when the Norman Empire and the Burgundy Kingdom invaded, there were no nobles who could stand up and lead the crowd to resist. The Norman and Burgundy coalition easily occupied Paris, which was like an empty city.

"According to this situation, it is easy to annex the entire France." Because Queen Norman and her Celtic army were still sailing in the North Sea, it still took a certain amount of time to arrive, so the highest general of the Norman League, who first entered Paris, became King Charles of Burgundy.

Charles, who was nearly fifty years old, really did not expect that in his lifetime, he would be able to step into Paris as a conqueror. Looking at the large-scale French capital of France after Philip II's careful governance, Charles was immediately full of energy. However, when he thought that the city would eventually be taken over by the Normans, Charles felt quite frustrated that the many states in southern Germany and northern Italy had imagined. For France, Egil decided to completely destroy this Western European country with great potential to eliminate future troubles.

After some letter discussion with the French, Egil finally made such a division of France. He handed over the territory in the southeast of France, the long-coveted territory of the Burgundy Kingdom, including the most important port city of France, Marseille, and the largest city in eastern France, to the Burgundy Kingdom.

Incorporate the northwestern France areas including Paris and Orleans into the Imperial territory. These two areas, together with Brittany and Burgundy, will form a new province called Flanders, of course, considering that Brittany is at least in the nominal territory of the Kingdom of Britain, Egil specifically stipulates that his queen Artoria has half of the sovereignty of this new province.

As for the territory in southwestern France, including Bordeaux Toulouse, Egil decided to establish a new principality here as a vassal of the Norman Empire. The Norman Emperor had already made a wish for the candidate for this puppet. It was that Louis, the son of Edward, the duke of Aquitaine, who had become the down-and-out nobles. If everything was right, this down-and-out, displaced thirteen-year-old boy would soon become the legal ruler of a small and somewhat outrageous principality.

In this way, Egil made drastic moves, dividing the entire France into three, leaving no slag for Philip II. I wonder if the French king would vomit blood after he knew it.

In the middle, when the Norman Emperor was about to arrive in Brandenburg, the 60,000 vanguard troops in the middle had already crossed the border. With Sura and Anderson's 43,000 Norman troops in the middle, Frederick of Brandenburg was the east road, and Duke of Hesse was Sivede of the Duke of Hesse as the west road. The three armies were in the shape of a font and pressed against him towards South Germany and Henry of Shi Yuanben and Henry of Bavaria, although these two men launched a solicitation order and mobilized all the nobles to form an army of more than 40,000 people. However, it was impossible for them to fight the Norman elite with such a mob.

They were waiting, waiting for the reinforcements promised by the South, Milan, Venice, and even the Pope.

"However, even Milan, Venice dispatched the troops as promised.

Even with the 10,000 French troops who gave up returning to China and joined this war, our army would never be as large as the other party in terms of quantity, and would probably be worse in terms of quality. To be honest, my subordinates really have no confidence to fight that emperor..." In Munich, the city of Lion, Wallenstein, with a worried face, said to his lord Henry.

"..., the nobles are encouraging me to lead my army across the Danube and set up a formation in Nuremberg to defend." Henry, the lion who had been silent, suddenly said such words. Then Wallenstein's face turned pale in front of him.

"Master, don't listen to their nonsense! You don't know how well the siege equipment the other party has. And we only have 22,000 troops. The other party has more than 60,000 vanguards alone. He just defended the city and just waited for death!"

"So what should we do?" Henry, with a tired face, rubbed his face and asked.

"Emute the reinforcements from Northern Italy. At the same time, we will discuss with the Duke of Swabian to bring the troops of both sides closer. Only by gathering enough troops can we form enough combat power." Wallenstein said.

"But you said just now that even with the French army, we would not have enough 100,000 people. The other side has more than 300,000 troops!" Henry seemed even more depressed: "It is impossible to win! Such a damn war!"

"No, lord, in fact, we still have a way to win." Wallenstein took out a simple map of Eastern Europe, Central Europe and the Apennine Peninsula, spread it on the table in front of Henry, and then said: "Look, although the opponent's army is large, it is divided into three parts because of the opponent's arrogance, or the desire to fight quickly. In the French battlefield, which was not heavily guarded, a hundred thousand troops were invested, and the forces on the flank were more than 50,000, which would become the main factor for the opponent's failure! As long as we concentrate our efforts in the middle, the troops of the Norman Emperor, about 150,000, will be defeated. The situation will change when the time comes!"

"…..." Hearing Wallenstein's statement, Henry calmed down and then asked: "Although the number is smaller..., for 100,000 people, 150,000 and 300,000 are the same in some ways. The number of people on the other side is more than us, and that is the army led by Emperor Norman himself!"

"No, in terms of quantity, we still have a reinforcement. If the reinforcement joins the war, then in terms of quantity, at least, our army will no longer be at a disadvantage compared to the main Norman forces!" Wallenstein said: "Popular Kingdom! The Roman Catholic Church has the most elite army of 50,000! With the order of the Pope, a crusader can be launched to participate in the battle! In addition, the forces that the Pope itself can mobilize. There are at least 70,000, which should be said to be 80,000 people! As long as the Pope joins this war, we can join another 80,000! Our army will reach 180,000. When facing the opponent's middle-road army, the numerical advantage will be on our side!"

"It's true!" Hearing Wallenstein say this, Henry cheered up completely, and he shouted at the table: "South Germany forty thousand, northern Italy forty thousand, France forty thousand, and the Pope 80,000, we will have an army of nearly two hundred thousand! It is not impossible to defeat the Normans!"
