At that time, someone asked Egil this way: Why did he, a person who is usually so afraid of death, do such a thing that goes against common sense at such a dangerous time? (_"") To command the rear troops of the palace that will last for a lifetime?

Egil told him: Once upon a time, in the Far East, there was an empire called "Han", which was usurped by the emperor's relatives and a man named Wang Mang - just as the Melovin dynasty of the bald Charles was usurped by its palace.

But the man named Wang Mang was not a qualified politician. Under his governance, the country became very chaotic. So the original ruler of the empire, Liu, organized a rebellion and began to fight back.

At that time, there was also a person in the Liu royal family who was very afraid of death when fighting. He was a junior of the family, named Liu Xiu. When he fought, he had to wear the strongest armor and a helmet, and stay in the safest place. Therefore, everyone laughed at him. In the end, it was such a person who played a key role in the final decisive battle between Liu and Wang and the Battle of Kunyang.

At that time, the Wang army was known as one million. In fact, there were as many as 420,000. The Liu army had only more than 10,000 people, most of which were bandit armed with them. Almost everyone wanted to escape in despair. However, only Liu Xiu, the coward in everyone's heart, advocated attack. He looked extremely calm and did not fear at all when facing dozens of times the enemy. In the end, this man led the suicide squad's death charge, defeating the Wang family's 420,000 army. He eventually restored the rule of the Liu family and became the new emperor.

Egil said this and asked the others, "Do you know what this is because of?" Of course, the emperor did not expect them to answer. After asking the question, he asked himself, "It is to cherish his life in normal times to give up at critical moments."

Everyone understood that Egil compared himself to Liu Xiu and thought that he should stand up at this time.

Of course, there is actually another reason why Egil did not say - he was smart and wanted to take advantage of the situation to annihilate a Mongolian army. However, he did not expect that the end result was sold by the Moscow people he had always looked down upon☆, which eventually led to the failure of the battle and the loss of hundreds of thousands of troops.

This can be said to be a very serious blow to the emperor's authority. In addition, the Black Death spread. Egil has received news that some people have begun to explain this from theological perspective. Although there is no theory of the induction of heaven and man in Europe, this does not prevent people from thinking about it. **《》》*

That's it, Egil must stand up and do something to make up for his prestige. Blaming the Moscows and igniting hatred for Moscow is one aspect. And standing up personally as the rear army to save the army is another aspect. As long as the breakthrough is successful, all the soldiers who survived owed Egil a favor, and they would be able to make up for the losses of the previous defeat to a certain extent.

However, it is easy to say, but it is a little difficult to do - no, it should be said. When Egil led the army and felt a hillside. After just re-arranged the formation with the hills on his back, the Mongolian reinforcements arrived at a heavy cavalry of more than 5,000 elite troops without saying a word. He launched a charge towards the Norman army.

However, soon after the sprint was halfway through, the Mongols discovered that it was inappropriate. Although the hill chosen by Egil was not very steep, it was still a bit inconvenient compared to the plains. In addition, it was already past two in the morning and it was the darkest time of the day. Therefore, it was difficult for the cavalry to launch a charge. Many people did not pay attention. They fell to the ground after stumbled. Some people were also hit by Norman's crossbowmen and died.

"Dismounted battle!" Soon, the Mongolian army changed its tactics. When the soldiers dismounted and walked, the Mongolian archers also opened their recurved bows and began to shoot, covering the dismounted heavy infantry advancing.

"Hold on! Don't be afraid! They are just shooting randomly on such a dark night. They are absolutely inaccurate!" Egil looked at the opponent's archer's shooting, and then shouted like this to boost morale. He continued to order:

"The captain of the 1,000-man team is dispatched to launch a counter-charge against the opponent! The shield spear holds his post. The 2,000-man team's great swordsman is the second batch, ready to launch a charge!"

With Egil's order, the men in leather armor and holding long-handled axes, who were selected from the most powerful lumberjacks in the black forests of Northeast Europe, roared angrily, and charged upwards towards the heavy Mongolian infantry at the foot of the mountain. They were as powerful as they were, and at that time, the attacking posture of the Mongols was dismantled.

"Continue attack! Bow and crossbow support! Big swordsmen on both wings were dispatched!" Egil continued to send orders, and Gotland's swordsmen from Northern Europe and two-handed swordsmen from Germany rushed down from both wings of the Mongolian army, wielding the swordsman and slashing and killing the Mongolians.

In three directions, the Mongols' vanguard troops were beaten to pieces. Although they were still undefeated with the support of the Mongolian military god skills, they continued to be undefeated. However, it was meaningless to continue like this. The formation, which was originally loose because of the difficulty of walking on the mountain road, was completely broken at this moment. If this continues like this, it is just a chance for the Normans to continue slaughtering them.

"Let's withdraw the troops for the time being. Reconstruct the situation and then attack." Not far away, Genghis Khan snorted lightly, looking a little dissatisfied. But he still issued such an order. Afterwards, he said to the Mongolian generals beside him: "Now, I can be sure. The one who commanded them must be the Norman Emperor. No one among the Normans can fight so well except him."

"The Norman Emperor is indeed a rare famous general. But compared to his father Khan, he is nothing. Otherwise, how could he fall into this situation?" Next to Genghis Khan, his third son Ogedei said in a fun way, which made Genghis Khan laugh endlessly.

"Then, wait a little while, and after dawn, we will attack again." Genghis Khan thought for a while, and then said: "In addition, send troops around to blockade all the nearby areas. The Norman Emperor must not escape!"

In this way, after repelling the opponent's attack, the opponent seemed to know that it was powerful. So he did not launch a second attack. Egil also took the opportunity to let the army rest for a while. In addition, Egil also understood that the opponent probably wanted to launch another attack after dawn. Listening to the roar of the opponent's war horses and the sound of the army mobilization, Egil also understood that the opponent would do more to surround the small hill to prevent himself from escaping.

"If I want to escape, it's probably the last time now... No, I can't escape. Since Genghis Khan challenges me, I should accept it. I don't want him - or is it wrong. It should be said that I am much stronger than Genghis Khan, that barbarian!" At this moment, Egil thought so. He made up his mind to fight Genghis Khan with all his might with these 20,000 remaining soldiers.

However, before he became enlightened and sacrificed his life to fight the strongest enemy he encountered in this world, Egil still had something to do, or in other words, he still had something to worry about. He had to deal with it in advance.

The emperor called his personal bodyguard Sonya. He went to a quieter place with her, with only two people alone. He then told her, "Okay, Sonya, now I'll order you to leave."

"Leave?" Sonia was a little surprised: "Where to go? Are you going to assassinate Genghis Khan, or do other tasks?"

"No, that's not the case. I mean, I want you to escape."

"Escape?!" Sonia seemed very excited and completely unacceptable when she heard Egil say this: "Master, do you think Sonia is too useless and can't share your worries?"

"No--listen to me, Sonia, we are in danger now, so I want to--"

"——Don't say it, Master, I will not leave you!" Sonia became extremely excited and her voice became much louder: "I... was originally a hopeless unqualified tool that had developed emotions to the Master. The tool has been out of standard - if I retreat here again, then I will not even have the qualifications as a tool!"

After saying that, Sonia shed tears: "It's obvious that you don't need this... It's enough to use me as a tool. It's obvious that you don't need to think about me at all. Why should you be so kind to me? I'm just a killer. It's just a tool-like existence..."

Listening to Sonia crying, Egil's face became softer. He stepped forward, hugged Sonia gently, and took her in his arms: "Tools...? Indeed. Although I don't know when it developed to this level. But at the beginning, it was indeed the relationship between the master and the tool."

Egil sighed softly: "So as a master, I have also developed emotions towards you... The tools that have emotions towards the master are unqualified. And the same is true for the master who has emotions towards the tool..."

"...Master?" Sonia raised her head in surprise and looked at Egil's eyes as bright as starlight.

"I like you, Sonia." Egil said to Sonia, "I am also a fool who has developed feelings for you who is just like tools."

After hearing Egil say this, Sonia couldn't help crying bitterly. While Egil gently stroked Sonia's hair, she said, "So, the unqualified master and the unqualified tools are the most wonderful combination. Let's live and die together."

He said this, lowered his head and kissed Sonia's lips, and then separated quickly. Then he said something like an oath: "I have changed my mind. I want you to stay by my side and be with me, and never be separated." (To be continued...
