At that time, the city of Rome, which was unprepared and in short supply, was not even able to achieve basic defense, surrendered after a little resistance. A few Popes guards gave up the entire city and trapped in the Vatican and the Pope's palaces. A large number of bishops of the Pope were captured by the barbaric Norman sailors (or Viking pirates). Few resistance would lead to the ground. The entire Rome was shrouded in the smoke of gunpowder. The Norman army in the rich city of Rome gained a lot of wealth. Even according to the rules of half of the emperor, it was enough to make hundreds or even thousands of people become rich. The Norman soldiers participating in the robbery made more or less rich. It was in this chaos, robbery and massacre.

On the front line, under the command of Egil, the Norman United defeated the Holy See army without any accident. Less than an hour after the victory, Egil received the second good news that he had obtained today. In this way, after a day of rest and a day of carnival. On the third day after the victory, Egil quickly rushed to the entrance of Rome. Marshal Carter, who was not familiar with land warfare, and even more familiar with siege, beat the Vatican Pope Palace. It was a pity that he did not make a fool of himself in front of the emperor. Pope Gregory VII ignited the fire in despair. Although he was finally rescued, the two treasures he placed beside him, Jesus' shroud and a few holy bones of Jesus, were burned to pieces.

This made Egil feel a pity. After all, he obtained the fragment of the true cross that year, which had a very good success effect. Then the effect of Jesus' shroud and the holy bone will naturally be even more worth looking forward to.

However, it seems to be destined. So far, three holy objects have been obtained, but they are all true crosses, the shroud of Jesus and the holy bones. However, they are all incomplete. This annoyed Egil. At the same time, it also produced a little fatalism, or superstitious thoughts.

I have the title of three emperors and three holy objects at the same time. The three holy objects are all incomplete. So does it mean my country...

The emperor shook his head when he thought of this and drove out this unlucky idea from his mind. Yes, who else can stop him in this world? The Eastern Roman Empire at sunset? Leon Castile, Portugal and Aragon, which was about to be destroyed? Impossible. Apart from Mongolia, there is nothing in this world that can threaten Egil. As for Mongolia, Egil thinks. Even if he can't treat the Mongolians.

To conduct effective attacks, but defense is certainly OK. As long as the Mongols can be blocked from Eastern Europe, ten years or not, only five years. Five years will be enough for Egil to digest the entire Europe, annex or become vassals of Germany, Italy and France, and discover all the potential of those places. By then, the national strength of the Norman Empire will be several times larger. The professional army will double. If all mobilizes, millions of troops can be mobilized.

"At that time, I will be able to take the entire Europe into my pocket. In addition to Europe, there are also the Near East, Asia Minor, North Africa. I can control all these territories and reproduce the territory of the Roman Empire at its heyday. After that, I will be able to march eastward and conquer everything!"

While thinking of these words, Egil laughed like a villain. He laughed wildly, accompanied by a group of European princes, princes and nobles and confidant generals, and stepped into the Vatican Pope Palace. He used his horse boots to trample on the last dignity of the Catholic Church.

At the same time, in the Pope's bedroom, several Norman diplomats, as well as Egil's clerk Talleyran, and several bishops who had been bribed earlier, were eager to persuade their pope to think about it. Crown Egil in a relatively low posture, and complete the last process of becoming the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.

Although after this conquest, the prestige of the Holy See and the Pope had dropped to its historical lowest point. The continental princes barely maintained respect for the Pope, who was actually in his fifties, but seemed to be almost unable to walk, on the surface, but in fact they didn't care at all. However, it was like a hold on a birthday cake, a bell on a Christmas tree, and a bird on a telephone pole. Although this kind of thing was optional, but according to tradition, according to convention, and in order to make this thing look better, the Pope is an indispensable decoration.

Egil's coronation ceremony decoration. However, after such a crushing defeat and attempted suicide, Pope Gregory VII was stubbornly dying. No matter who persuaded him, he would not listen to a word. He also cursed at others. His attitude was very firm and he refused to cooperate.

After hearing about this, Egil seemed to be very tolerant: "That guy died so many people and lost such a big face, so he naturally had to make a fuss for a while. Fortunately, there was still some time before the coronation ceremony. There was no hurry." The reason why Egil said this was that there was still some time before the coronation ceremony. In addition to the continental monarchs gathered in Rome, he also wanted the monarchs of other countries to be the worst royal nobles, and the envoys of important officials joined the coronation ceremony. Egil looked at this matter very importantly. He believed that this was a sign that he could become the leader of the entire continent. When other countries sent envoys to come, they would be regarded as their surrender to the Norman Empire.

"In addition, Artolia Hani. She has not been very good in recent times... Let her change the environment and relax for a while." The reason why Egil said this was because in recent times, he and Artolia had a very obvious fatigue between the lines and the other party and his Queen Hani. Although she did not say it clearly, the Norman spies who stayed by her told Egil about the latest stage of Artolia's war against the forest elves in Wales.

It failed again. Although some progress was achieved in the early stage, many elves killed and destroyed many places where elves lived. This may be because in winter, forest elves lived in Welsh forests, and lived a very hard life and lacked nutrition and could not eat enough.

However, after a long journey of the army entering the mountains and encircled the troops, the elves began to use their same tricks again, sending troops to harass the garrison and the supply line. Finally, in this way, Artoria was defeated again.

When it comes to encirclement and suppressing the rebels, we have to say another one. That is, Charles, the King of Burgundy who is now suffering from the Swiss scourge. This guy also suffered heavy losses when he encircled the Swiss. If Artoria at least killed many rebellious elves and destroyed many elves tribes, it was barely a little bit of success, then Charles' several encirclement and suppression will basically be a pure loss business.

Thirty thousand Burgundian troops, and Charles gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, recruited peasant soldiers from the vassals and nobles and his own territory. In the Second Swiss War in Burgundy, King Charles mobilized a total of 50,000 troops. It was the first-class formation in Western Europe.

Then..., and then there was nothing. King Charlie had a big face and a big eyes.

The 50,000 army wandered around the corner of the Swiss mountain valley for more than a month. The Swiss army, which was less than 20,000, won four battles. The current Swiss prince (self-proclaimed) William retreated from his talent. In addition, his home advantage and the Swiss mountain people's courage to fight and fight, made the Europeans' King of Burgundy, who was bold in Charles, defeated. The 50,000 army lost more than 30,000. The resources and money consumed were countless.

Seeing this guy fail, coupled with the battle causing heavy losses to his peasants and soldiers, Burgundy's already unstable political situation suddenly seemed to have an magnitude 8 earthquake. There were many nobles with high powers, all of whom were ready to move and intend to be independent. This made King Charles really unable to bear it. With internal and external troubles, the king, who was no longer young, was seriously ill and almost summoned by the Lord...

"This is a bit bad,"..." Egil felt a headache for both of these things. For Britain, it goes without saying that the Artorians are Egil's, and Egil's is Egil's. The situation in Britain is unstable, and the situation in the Norman Empire is not different. Egil planned to take time to solve the Welsh elves when the matter of the Holy Roman Empire is over.

As for Burgundy... Speaking of which, seeing Charlie is so miserable, Egir is really gloating. This is not purely because Egir is a **. The more important reason is that after the fall of the Kingdom of France, the most powerful country in Western Europe became Burgundy. Without the threat of France. With the strength of the Kingdom of Burgundy, King Charlie could not say that he would think of some bad things and some things that damage the long historical friendship between Burgundy and Norman... This is not in Egir's interests.

If the Swiss** thing happened, then the Burgundy Kingdom would lose the most important piece of military land and would consume a lot of strength. King Charles would lose face again. Naturally, he had no face to stand up and could only be a friendly and friendly ally of the Norman Empire.

However, this is one thing. It is a good thing that the strength of the Burgundy Kingdom remains at a certain level and does not increase. But this does not mean that Egil is willing to see the Burgundy Kingdom fall apart and become a mess... (To be continued)
